|Why the fuck haven't Capcom cashed in on RE2 yet?!
Come and get it cumslingers!
|Cash in on it by re-investing time and money into it so they can sell a few copies of a game anyone can emulate in about 5 mins?
|It's on the PS store if you have a PS3, PSP or Vita.

|Does anyone know if the free copy of Bioshock ATI are giving away with new cards would get you those Steam bonuses?
TheSaint wrote:I would think unlikely, as the Steam bonuses are direct Steam pre-purchase unlock rewards.
The cards will just give redeem codes - but are unlikely to be considered pre-purchases.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ofc.
|I don't think so. Plugging in a retail key for Tomb Raider didn't net the pre-order bonuses for that so I have no reason to believe this will be any different.
Boab wrote:On the flip side people wouldn't need to emulate old consoles if Capcom tidied them up and sold them, we didn't even get 4 and CV when they re-released (considering how bad the port of 4 supposedly is on PC that was surprising).
I emulate them all up to 5 but would buy them all again on PC in a heartbeat. Someone tell Capcom about GOG...
I really want xcom but have been holding off for a sale on steam as I have some money in my wallet on there to spend. If I preordered Bioshock Infinity now would I still be entitled to xcom?
I don't really want Bioshock Infinity but I think they're the same price on steam. So if I bought it could I gift Bioshock Infinity and keep xcom?
Xbox, Steam - DuvaDan
Feel free to add me
X-com is 19 quid on Amazon. Why pay 30 quid for a game you don't want to get a game you do want that's cheaper elsewhere?
bad09 wrote:It's even cheaper than that : $16.49 on Amazon.com right now.
Steam have a sale on around Easter time, no?
In a couple of weeks it'll be around the �10-15 point or less, guaranteed.
@vijay @zulu
Thanks, thought it would be too good to be true.
Interesting development...
Amazon (US version) is now matching the Bioshock Infinite Steam pre-order offer (Bioshock + Xcom) and offering $30 (about �20) of 2K credit in addition... which is about the price of the Borderlands 2 Season Pass...
Never seen pre-order bonuses this aggressive before.
(previous form has that most of these bonus games will be steam keys)

Looks like the Humble Bundle Folks are getting in on the weekly sale wagon. This week its Bastion for $1.
Edited by Arcturas at 18:16:29 19-03-2013
Hitman Absolution �7.49 for the next 24 hours (requires Steam):
|@bad09 because I have steam credit and don't have the spare cash in my account at the moment.

Ah, I forget you can do that now. I'd check with Steam about the gifting then you might gift the pre-order stuff to or something.
Has anyone ever seen a DD Skyrim for around the �10 to �15 mark? Finished it on 360 when it came out but want to play it with a load of mods installed.
Hoping for sub �10 in the Easter sale.
|@bad09 Ok thanks will try and find out steam, got a few days to get the order in.
Xbox, Steam - DuvaDan

|That's better, XCOM for �10.
Re: X-Com. Check your library. Bioshock was given as a Steam gift, X-Com just appeared in my library.
Edited by ecureuil at 13:14:11 20-03-2013
X-Com : Enemy Unknown has also been retroactively added to the Greenmangaming Bioshock Infinite preorder incentive. Their Support page states a key should be sent by 26th March.
I imagine all other retailers will now follow suit.
Edited by rtk79 at 13:14:38 20-03-2013
Today's spring sale includes The cave for �4.99 and Torchlight 2 for �4.99, couple of other's but not as well priced as the above two.
This is for today only if you are interested.
GMG have quite the offer going for the Bioshock Infinite pre-purchase:
For �23.99, you get:
Bioshock Infinite
XCOM Enemy Unknown
& the choice of Civ V, Spec Ops The Line, Mafia 2, Darkness 2, Bioshock 2
|that's pretty good!
Amazon.com's offer still seems a bit better, assuming you can use them - US$60 for Bioshock Infinite, and you get $30 back in 2K credit as well as XCOM. Considering the better support from Amazon and the various problems associated with GMG, Amazon seem safer at least.
Then again, with the exchange rate this month... maybe a few less choices for Brits. D:
Ooh, actually... Gamersgate offer Bioshock Infinite for �30, less 5% using code elder-geek.com as well as including XCOM and (copy-pastaring vijay!) the choice of Civ V, Spec Ops The Line, Mafia 2, Darkness 2, Bioshock 2. AND �9 back in Gamersgate store credit.
And weirdly, their UK site has it 25% cheaper than their US site anyway.
Anyone with the 20% discount on their GG account is laughing, as it'll be �7 cheaper than the GMG deal.

MadMac is clearly a troll.
I'm sorry, but someone slamming a car into mine, and pounding on my window (who knows if he was trying to shatter it?), and screaming, that's a threat.

MadMac is clearly a troll.
I'm sorry, but someone slamming a car into mine, and pounding on my window (who knows if he was trying to shatter it?), and screaming, that's a threat.
Esp. when it's brought to light that I had a gun in my possession and could have used that to make HIM retreat in a much safer manner than my ramming cars all over a public thoroughfare.
I do not feel that I need to wait until a violent person breaks thru my window, possibly injuring me at that point, before indicating that I can defend myself if necessary. I hope a jury would see it the same...who knows?
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
It's simply my armchair quarterbacking here, boyo, so no need for you to get all exorcised over it.....
Is yours even a serious response?
I think the OP handled things okay.
In my state, Castle Doctrine applies to your vehicle as well, and had the aggressor forced entry and broke out the side window, I would be justified in shooting him.
However, as a rule, I generally don't consider the thought of shooting an unarmed person. And for that reason I also carry OC spray.
In this exact situation, there is no doubt I would have had my gun at the ready for instant deployment. However, even if he smashed my window with his fists I may have hosed him with OC spray.
I caution to say may have, because forced entry into a vehicle is castle doctrine territory and justified lethal force. The thing is, once the window breaks, things tend to happen pretty quickly and I may have shot him instead of OC.
The thing is, I like to have several options to choose from and will assess the situation as it plays out. There are always too many "intangibles" to utilize a cookbook response. What may look like a hulking brute who could crush a person with his bare hands to one person, may be seen as much less intimidating to someone else who may be professionally trained in dealing with said individuals.
Things like this are very fluid, and I'm not going to second guess the OP because I think he had an acceptable solution.
I just have a general rule to keep the gun tucked away as long as the aggressor does not have a weapon in hand.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
In my state, I am allowed to defend myself from gross bodily harm and death....a violent man who has me trapped in my vehicle is such a threat. I didnt say I drew to scare him, I didnt say I wouldnt fire....I just said that when he retreat...as he did in this situation....then I didnt have to shoot him. Lucky him.
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
I echo much of the support that has been given for the OP's actions. But I do differ in one regard - I do NOT think following the perp would have been a good idea. There is the danger that the perp could have led you into an unknown area (possibly with armed friends of his) and if something more violent did result, a prosecuter would have a field day by claiming you had criminal intent yourself.
I think all of your actions (with the exception of rolling the window all the way down) were spot on. I have much to learn about CCW and CCW laws myself but common sense is common sense. I'm just glad you are safe and no one was seriously harmed. Lets hope the cops do their job and the perp gets caught.
Yes, I am worried about ramming the car behind me to escape. and that isn't how I portrayed it, it's how you portrayed it when you said you'd play demolition derby......
Hey, we see this differently. IMO the OP handled it well. In yours, he didn't. Do what you are going to, I just hope I'm never the car behind you if something similar happens to you necause if you bash into my car trying to extricate yourself from a situation, I'm calling the cops on you for endangering me.

I still cant believe you are serious.
Fortune favors the bold.

The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
Now you are in court. The prosecutor describes to the jury how you antagonized the other guy with your driving, has photos and witnesses to show the jury how you are a nut job, smashing cars for no reason at all......
In addition to losing in criminal court, you would run a huge risk of civil suits from all parties in the smashed vehicles. As you may or may not know, neck injuries, back injuries, etc., are hard to disprove.
Lots of luck.
I guess if there were a little old lady in a wheel chair on the curb, you would run over her as well to get away.
One should make every effort to avoid conflict and to put distance between oneself and the BG but not at the expense of others who are innocent bystanders.
By the way, it would help others better understand your comments if you indicated your state.
I forgot:
When you ram the car behind you and he jumps out and starts banging on your window....
You have solved the problem????
I don't think so.
Actually, I think oldcurmudgeo nailed it pretty well. Doing what you advocated seems to just add many layers of problems on top of what is already present and banging on your window.......

(o)_)-o- (o)_)--o-)_)
I don't think we need to turn a hose on this thread yet but I'll definitely be the one to step in and say...
Let's all calm down and take a deep breath.
The situation ended well with no one being shot, and no one's car being smashed up.
Some interesting points are made from both sides of the argument regarding trying to escape vs brandishing. Either way, let's not cross into the territory of personal attacks and flaming (which this is getting close to doing).
The jabs at age, intelligence, etc, etc are unnecessary. We are adults and should be able to discuss differing opinions without all of that. Either discuss things calmly, or agree to disagree and move on.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Even as a U.S. debt downgrade, a worsening of the European crisis, spiking oil prices and natural disasters added unexpected twists for dealmakers in 2011, there's still plenty left to worry about in 2012.
It's key to remember that in the volatile deals landscape there's still plenty of quick and sudden change that can occur in merger negotiations or hostile takeovers, which can have a major impact on share prices and earnings.
For instance, AT&T (T) $39 billion merger with T-Mobile USA was set to be the largest deal of the year until an antitrust suit iced the tie-up in late December. That merger fail cost JPMorgan Chase (JPM) its U.S. M&A advisory lead and AT&T a $4 billion breakup fee charge to its fourth quarter earnings.
Overall, global M&A activity increased 3% to $2.8 trillion in 2011 with U.S. deals eclipsing the $1 trillion mark, a level not seen since 2007. In the U.S., healthcare, oil & gas, utilities, technology, real estate and telecoms were the top deal making sectors, respectively.Corporate divestitures were a bright spot for deal makers, rising 165% from 2011 and representing 5% of all deals activity, according to Dealogic. In the U.S., divestitures also didn't slow in the second half of the year, as companies spun assets to bolster shares, streamline their strategy and raise capital. For more on M&A trends and some investing ideas, see 10 Top Morningstar M&A Stock Picks for 2012. Even after an antitrust based-AT&T and T-Mobile USA deal breakup and a flurry of failed hostile takeovers that caused shares to gyrate in 2011, plenty of risk remains. Here's a look at five big 2011 M&A winners that could face challenges in 2012.

Top Local Tips for Anchorage
The Ulu Factory Before you buy all your souveniers from your Alaska trip check out the Ulu Factory down by ship Creek. They have much more than Ulus. They have a nice selection and it is all reasonably priced.
Iditarod and Fur Rondy Great location for Anchorage events.
day trip to seward it only takes about 2 hrs to get to seward. get up early and rent a car(make reservations), get to Seward by 10 o'clock and take the Kenai Fjords day cruise. It was amazing!!! We saw everything imaginable. humback whales, killer whales, dalls porpuise, steller sea lions, harbor seals, tons of birds, black bear, sea otters, i could go on and on. the calving glacier was incredable. the buffet dinner on Fox island was delicious, so was the lunch!! The service was great and the captain was very friendly and knowledgable. I HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone who can spend a whole day in Seward and doesn't mind the GORGIOUS drive to and from. We had to rush to get there but took our time coming back. There were lots of places to stop and take pictures. The baby mountain goats were adorable. Keep an eye out for them when first head out of Anchorage. They are right along the highway against the rock cliff that borders the inlet. I'm sure a local could tell you the mile marker.

So after about a year of riding a balance bike (or some people call them push bikes) I decided it was time to put Liana on her pedal bike.
She never had training wheels and it only took about 30 min of pushing her around and little bit of coaching to get her to ride all by herself!
For your viewing pleasure, here is a short video that I took of her last night, only a few minutes after she started riding. I am still amazed at how quickly she started ripping up the driveway

This is the best bronzer I've ever used. I've been on the hunt for the perfect bronzer for my skintone (nc35-mac) and before this it was MAC's Give me sun bronzer, which is amazing on me. On my skin both look almost identical, the only difference is the finish. MAC is a powder and Chanel's is a cream which I usually prefer cream products on my cheeks. It looks more natural. So yes, this is a hit in my book.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Soleil Tan De Chanel, also known by its other name Bronze Universel, is a cream-based bronzer. The texture of it feels as smooth as butter, and when swiped on my hand it feels slightly gel-like. When I apply and buff this into my cheeks, it blends into a very smooth velvet finish. It blends onto the skin beautifully well unlike other cream products that can just sit on the skin and ruin foundation underneath by causing a hole, it glides like silk on my cheeks. I would say that the finish of it is satin, almost totally matte but not quite. Oh, and it also has a very fresh scent to it too!
The colour of Soleil Tan De Chanel is a gorgeous golden tan, very warm-based. As Im medium-skinned, it looks very flattering, but I also put some on my sister, who is paler (NW25) and it looked so good! I obviously use it as a bronzer and also as a contour with a light hand. It does wonders to warm up my complexion, adding a hit of colour and a healthy glow. There is ZERO glitter or shimmer in the bronzer, which is great! You can leave your cheeks with the Soleil Tan De Chanel on, or you can also add highlighter and/or blush over the top without any streaking.
The key I have found to using it for flawless, easy results is to use a synthetic face brush. I dip the brush in the bronzer around 3 times, then start to stipple it on my cheeks. I repeat this method if I want a little bit more colour, stippling and buffing it in gently. Its easy to get a light or darker look using this method of application. I love to use my Sigma F84 for this purpose (any of the Sigmax HD brushes will work well for application).
Soleil Tan De Chanel is priced at £29, which may seem very expensive, but so worth it, because you get a full 30g or product, considering most bronzers contain only a measly 9g!

I purchased this product after many great reviews and it was worth it. Very natural look, build up when necessary. Lovely packaging, worth the price.

I simply adore the look of this bronzer. I use it mainly to contour because it is very subtle and natural looking.
Unfortunately, one (or more) of the ingredients does not agree with my skin. When I use this I get tiny bumps on my cheeks where I've contoured.
Such a shame because it is a really beautiful product. Never turns orange on my skin, nor is it too shimmery.

If you are looking for a bronzer that sinks into your skin and is versatile enough to be used as a foundation (if your skin tone allows it), sculpting tool or bronzer - give this one a try. This is worth the price. Lovely and elegant as so many other Chanel products.

For those who say it doesn't have shimmer it's not true! it does have a light shimmer you can even see it when you swatch it on your hand in the store. When i first saw the color i was disappointed, i didn't expect it to be so orange, but i bought it anyway i wanted this product so bad i guess thats why i didn't want to leave the store completely disappointed. Im in nw20 and looks ok on me but i know it would look much better in the summer with the tan. I have Clinique true bronze pressed powder in Sunkissed and it exactly the same color as this Chanel, just has a little more shimmer. I love watching celebrity mua Lisa Eldridge's videos where she does makeup using this base and i'm agree with her that this product can work on almost anyone depending on much you apply it.

Bought this along with the new foundation. I love the foundation & really like the look of this bronzer most of the time. It, however, does turn a bit orange as the day goes on.
My big problem with this is that it breaks out my skin. I don't just get a random pimple here or there but get quite a few by the end of the day. I wasn't sure what product was causing my problems so I took all makeup that could be a culprit off daily use and then added pieces back in individually. It's clear this caused me major issues. Not sure what is in this that is causing the problem but I don't get breakouts with any other blusher - so out this goes. I may use it on other areas of my body.

I love this bronzer! It`s easy to use, looks natural on the face, has a pretty colour and I think that it`s suitable for fair to medium skin colours.
I like it better than a powder bronzer because it is moisturizing and I have dry skin.
It stays on for a long time ( 8 hours) and it has a nice packaging.
It is pretty expensive,but you really get a lot of product and a little goes a long way.I have this product for almost 6 months and I am using it almost every day but it looks barely used.
I will defenetely buy this again!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this bronzer. Initially when i saw it i thought it will be very heavy on my face during the summer but on the contrary i love it. I was even using this when i was in hot temperature like 40 degrees and still did not feel sticky.
Love it n worth the value

I bought this after reading several reviews and YT videos. In the pan, it looks very orangey but on the skin, its actually very subtle. On my NC20-25 skin, it just gives a very natural warmth. I use Sigma F82 blush to apply this. I can see this lasting me a really long time even with daily use.

I need to buy a new seatpost for my 29er. The two finalist are Easton and KCNC. I'm 135LBs and do regular trail run. No jumping. Which one should I get ?
I did some digging and found that peoples are complaining regarding the clamp in the EC90 and carbon post are more troublesome. KCNC is light, durable and sharp looking. Its overall feedback is +ve and it is very very light. Lighter than the EC90.
Any input will be welcome.

How To Blog Successfully About Anything seomoz.orgSubmitted by jasonacidre Jan 09 2013 in Blogging 4 Comments Discuss (3) |
In order to create a successful blog, you have to be passionately curious about the topic you're covering. This notion was the central point of my Mozinar on "Blogging Like You Mean It" a few weeks ago, when I shared my personal story of blogging success. Here's a concise recap of the story, for those who missed it: I was once tasked with creating a blog on a topic I was completely uninterested in: television.
Tad Chef @onreact_com
I've done that for link building even without blogs. Just look up what people are asking on forums and offer that as a how to, tutorial or oether valuable resource. Do not just reply on UGC sites.
Tanner C @tannerc
You're rad Tad, and that's the gist of all modern-day marketing: just look for what people want related to your service/produce/market and help them. Viola!
Tad Chef @onreact_com
Yeah, it's called supply and demand or simply market economy. So if you are into market-ing... you offer what people want.
Don Sturgill @Don_Sturgill
First step for being successful at anything: Define what success looks like (for you). Some folks are looking for followers, some for conversions, some for comments, some for page rank ... what are you looking for? And ... more importantly, Why?

Robert Wood Johnson and CDC Foundations Launch New Project on Using Law and Policies to Help People Make Healthier Choices
The Robert Wood Johnson and CDC Foundations have announced the launch of a new project to advance discussion about how laws and policies can assist people in making healthier choices. Subject matter experts will work with federal partners to develop 10 to 15 evidence-based reports during the next three years to highlight laws and policies related to specific topic areas within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Healthy People 2020 initiative. Healthy People 2020 is a set of goals and objectives with 10-year targets designed to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts aimed at improving the health of all people in the United States.
The new project, which will be led by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) at HHS, will provide practical information to public health officials and associations; health-related industries; legal practitioners; non-profit organizations; policymakers; and individuals about the use of law and policy to address health factors:
- ODPHP will provide leadership and support for the development of the reports.
- CDC will provide technical guidance on the development of specific reports and collaborate with public health partners and communities to promote knowledge and understanding of the reports.
- RWJF will provide public health law and policy expertise.
- The CDC Foundation will manage administration and implementation of the project and amplify the results to stakeholders through communications efforts.
"The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation believes that law and policy are important levers for building a culture of health in our nation," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We're pleased to collaborate with leaders in public health and government to focus attention on policies based on the best science to help achieve the national health goals set out in Healthy People 2020—strategies that all states and communities can use to help people live healthier lives."

FDA Approves Marketing of First Migraine Prevention Device
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the marketing of the first device designed to stop migraine headaches before they happen. The preventative treatment is a small, portable prescription device that uses an electrical current to stimulate branches of the trigeminal nerve, which has been associated with migraine headaches. An estimated 10 percent of people suffer from migraines, which if untreated can last from four to 72 hours and lead to nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. In a release, Christy Foreman, director of the Office of Device Evaluation at the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said Cefaly "may help patients who cannot tolerate current migraine medications for preventing migraines or treating attacks."

Concussion Urgent Care Centers for Young Athletes: NewPublicHealth Q&A Robert Graw, MD
A recent report from the Institute of Medicine found that young athletes in the United States face a "culture of resistance" to reporting when they might have a concussion and to complying with treatment decisions. That culture can result in students heading back to school too quickly—when they should be resting their brains to prevent short- and long-term complications.
"The findings of our report justify the concerns about sports concussions in young people," said Robert Graham, chair of the committee and director of the national program office for Aligning Forces for Quality, at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. (Aligning Forces is a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.) "However," says Graham, "there are numerous areas in which we need more and better data. Until we have that information, we urge parents, schools, athletic departments, and the public to examine carefully what we do know, as with any decision regarding risk, so they can make more informed decisions about young athletes playing sports."
Recently, Righttime Medical Care, a chain of urgent care centers in Maryland, opened a number of HeadFirst sports injury and concussion centers in the state, staffed with health professionals who can assess injuries for concussions as well as evaluate students for return to play—in consolation with a team of experts who work with HeadFirst staff. HeadFirst will this year be presenting and publishing data on the more than 10,000 youth it has examined and treated for concussion in just the past two years.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Robert Graw, MD, head of Righttime and HeadFirst, about the need for better prevention, evaluation and treatment of concussions to prevent long-term health problems and disability.
NewPublicHealth: Why did Righttime add concussion care to the services provided?
Robert Graw: My son is an orthopedic surgeon and talked to me about the number of injuries he was seeing. We decided a few years ago that we'd learn as much as we could about preventing head injury and the consequences of head injury, and then promote that information through Righttime's call center and through the visits that people made to our sites.
In the process of learning as much as we could we realized that the knowledge base of how people evaluate and manage concussions had changed drastically in the last five years as people have done more research. So, we then gathered together a group of consultant physicians and neuropsychologists to determine best practices. We met with them frequently, and then had them train our provider staff so that all of them became much more informed about what a concussion really is, the best way to evaluate them and the guidelines for management going forward.

HHS, Heart Disease Organizations Join Forces to Vastly Reduce Premature Death Linked to Heart Conditions by 2025
Leaders from the World Heart Federation , the American Heart Association, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the American College of Cardiology are joining together to help cut premature mortality from cardiovascular disease by at least 25 percent by 2025. Key strategies will include secondary prevention efforts for people who have already experienced a heart incident, or have established heart disease, as well as primary prevention strategies in the United States and around the world. "Heart disease can touch anyone, no matter where you live," said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association.

New Guidelines for Stroke Risk, Prevention in Women
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has published the first ever set of guidelines dedicated to stroke risk and prevention in women. The 86-page document appears in the journal Stroke and address risk factors distinct to women, including pregnancy, oral contraceptives, menopause and hormone replacement. It also covers factors that affect women more than men, including atrial fibrillation and migraine with aura. "We reviewed a large body of research to be able to summarize our current understanding of stroke risk and stroke prevention in women, information that is critically important for care providers and researchers in the field," according to Judith Lichtman, MD, associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health and co-author of the study. "The guidelines are also important to empower women and their families to better understand their risk for stroke and be aware of ways they can minimize their likelihood of having a one." Strokes are the third-leading cause of death among women in the United States. Read more on strokes.
Study: Indicators of Potential Heart Disease as Early as Age 18
Indicators of potential heart disease can be seen as early as age 18, according to a long-term study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers found that elevated blood pressure at that age, as well as found distinct blood pressure patterns from ages 18-55, indicate people at high risk for calcification of coronary arteries by middle age. "This shows that your blood pressure in young adulthood can impact your risk for heart disease later in life," said Norrina Allen, PhD, lead study author and assistant professor of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in a release. "We can't wait until middle age to address it. If we can prevent their blood pressure from increasing earlier in life we can reduce their risk of future heart attacks and stroke." Approximately one in three U.S. adults have hypertension. Read more on prevention.

AHA Releases Stroke Prevention Guidelines for Women
For the first time, the American Heart Association (AHA) has released stroke prevention guidelines for women. The guidelines outline stroke risks unique to women and provide evidence-based recommendations on how best to treat them, including:
- Women with a history of high blood pressure before pregnancy should be considered for low-dose aspirin and/or calcium supplement therapy to lower preeclampsia risks.
- Women who have preeclampsia have twice the risk of stroke and a four-fold risk of high blood pressure later in life. Therefore, preeclampsia should be recognized as a risk factor well after pregnancy, and other risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, and obesity in these women should be treated early.
- Pregnant women with moderately high blood pressure (150-159 mmHg/100-109 mmHg) should be considered for blood pressure medication; expectant mothers with severe high blood pressure (160/110 mmHg or above) should be treated.
- Women should be screened for high blood pressure before taking birth control pills because the combination raises stroke risks.
- Women who have migraine headaches with aura should stop smoking to avoid higher stroke risks.
- Women over age 75 should be screened for atrial fibrillation risks; a risk factor for stroke.

New Study Predicts Flu Severity
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis say flu patients, regardless of age, who have elevated levels of three particular immune system regulators, called cytokines, early in the infection were more likely to develop severe flu symptoms and to be hospitalized than patients with lower levels of the same regulators. Study participants ranged in age from 3 weeks to 71 years.
The study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, found that cytokine levels early in the infection were predictive of flu-related complications regardless of patient age, flu strain, the ability of the virus to replicate and other factors. The cytokines studied help to regulate inflammation caused by the body's immune response to the flu until antibodies and T cells take over. Patients with the elevated cytokines seem to develop airway distress as a reaction to the immune response, a development separate from the effects of the flu virus. "We need to explore targeted therapies to address this problem separately from efforts to clear the virus, says study author Paul Thomas, PhD, an assistant member of the St. Jude Department of Immunology.

Community Health Worker Model Can Reduce Hospital Readmissions
A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine reports on a community health worker (CHW) program developed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine that hired people from the local community to help discharged patients navigate the health care system and address key health barriers, such as housing instability or food insecurity. The study found that the intervention improved patient experiences and health outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions.
The Penn team tested the model in a randomized trial with 446 hospitalized patients who were either uninsured or on Medicaid, and lived in low-income communities in which more than 30 percent of the population lived below the Federal Poverty Level. More than one-third of all readmissions to the hospitals participating in the study come from a five-zip code region. Patients in the trial received support from CHWs hired for traits such as empathy and active listening. The CHWs connected during a patient's hospital stay and continued after they were discharged to help with issues including scheduling doctor appointments, accessing medications, or finding child care or shelter. The control group received routine hospital care, medication reconciliation, written discharge instructions, and prescriptions from the hospital. The CHW group had a 52 percent greater chance of seeing a primary care physician within two weeks after being discharged from the hospital and scores measuring a patient's confidence in managing their own care in the future more than doubled in the CHW group. While the two groups had similar rates of at least one hospital readmission (15 percent vs 13.6 percent), the CHW group was less likely to have multiple readmissions (2 percent vs 6 percent in the control group).

Study: 60 Percent of Uterine Cancer Cases are Preventable
Approximately 60 percent of U.S. uterine cancer cases are preventable thorough regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight, according to a new study from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and World Cancer Research Fund International. That comes out to nearly 30,000 cases per year; endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system, ahead of both ovarian cancer and cervical cancer. "Body fat can produce hormones that promote cancer development," said Alice Bender, nutrition communications manager for AICR. "We also know that body fat is linked to chronic inflammation, which produces an environment that encourages cancer development." The study also found various dietary choices that influence cancer risk because of the way they influence hormones such as estrogen and insulin. For example, drinking one cup of coffee a day can reduce the risk of endometrial cancer by 7 percent, while eating sugary items and processed grains can increase it. Read more on cancer.
Overweight, Obese People More Likely to Suffer from Migraines
Migraines can now be added to the long list of medical conditions more likely in people who are overweight or obese, according to a new study in the journal Neurology. Researchers found the painful, often-debilitating headaches were twice as common for obese people as they were for people of normal weight. As many as 15 percent of people suffer from episodic migraines and approximately 32 percent of people with the migraines were obese. "This suggests patients and doctors need to be aware that obesity is associated with an increased risk of episodic migraine and not wait until a patient has chronic migraine to address healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, and to choose medications that impact weight with care," said lead researcher Lee Peterlin, MD, from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, according to Reuters. While further research is needed to determine causation, the study results do provide yet one more reason to make healthy lifestyle changes. Read more on obesity.
Anger, Irritability May Be Signs of More Severe, Chronic Depression
Irritability and anger may indicate more complex, chronic and severe forms of major depression, according to a new study in JAMA Psychiatry. Symptoms of irritability and anger during a major depressive episode (MDE) appear to be clinical markers for a significantly more complex, chronic, and severe form of major depressive disorder, a new study indicates. Researchers found that people with MDEs who also exhibit anger and irritability were more likely to have increased severity of their depression, longer bouts of depression, lower impulse control and a more chronic long term course of illness. The findings indicate that people who exhibit these behaviors need closer clinical monitoring that "should include specific strategies to address anger management issues, as well as the frequently associated problems of comorbid anxiety disorder, substance abuse disorder, poor impulse control, and psychosocial impairment when these are present."

RWJF Obesity Report Details Tactics that Could Save Billions in Health Care Costs
The medical costs of the ongoing U.S. obesity epidemic could be as high as $210 billion annually, according to James S. Marks, Senior Vice President for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Group. The loss of economic productivity likely adds even more billions to the toll. However, increasing the Congressional Budget Office's time frame for estimating the cost of legislation from 10 years to 75 years would greatly improve the battle against obesity by enabling us to better estimate the true costs—and savings—of health care and public health efforts. The Campaign to End Obesity estimates that over 75 years, obesity screening by physicians would save $44 billion, the S-CHIP childhood obesity demonstration project would save $41 billion, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's diabetes prevention program would save $18.4 billion and Medicare part D weight-loss drug coverage would save $11.4 billion.

Citing Cancer Risk, FDA Proposes New Rules for Youth and Indoor Tanning
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing that sunlamp products used for tanning be reclassified as a moderate risk device—up from a low risk device—and made to carry recommendations warning against their use by young people. The ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning increases the risk of melanoma by 75 percent, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. "Using indoor tanning beds can damage your skin and increase your risk of developing skin cancer," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, MD. "The FDA's proposed changes will help address some of the risks associated with sunlamp products and provide consumers with clear and consistent information." Read more on cancer.
FDA Warns Pregnant Women of Migraine Drug Ingredient's Risk to Children
Noting the link between the migraine medicine ingredient valproate and lower IQ scores in children, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning all pregnant women not to take medication containing the ingredient. "Valproate medications should never be used in pregnant women for the prevention of migraine headaches because we have even more data now that show the risks to the children outweigh any treatment benefits for this use," said Russell Katz, MD, director of the division of neurology products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. FDA is also warning women who may become pregnant not to use valproate unless it is medically "essential" and that they make sure they are on effective birth control.

So now most of our servers are Virtualized I'm looking at a new backup strategy. Traditionally we have used Backupexec 2010 to backup individual systems.
This is my new plan
- Backup Each virtual server every weekend using Veeam [Veeam: #1 for VMware vSphere, ESX & ESXi Backup and Virtualization Management]
- Backup individual SQL servers daily using SQLBackupandFTP [http://sqlbackupandftp.com/]
- Backup main file server, sims doc storage each weekend with Backupexec 2010 [http://www.symantec.com/products/data-backup-software].
- Run a 2nd Parallel file server which mirrors the main file server as an instant backup. Use Xcopy at weekends to sync?
Since all our servers are now SSD based the backups for everything take less than an hour. It used to take 14hrs with normal hard disks!!
Does anyone see any flaws in the plan? Disaster scenarios ect?

Nancy West
Nancy Richards West has lived on Chincoteague Island for three decades, using this picturesque setting as inspiration for her paintings. The first resident artist chosen by the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, the thrill of painting en plein air often lures her out of the studio and into the field, where she captures the effects of changing light, weather and seasons. Nancy has extensive training in classical drawing and color theory, and her delicate treatment of oils is subtly elegant. Her work has won numerous awards and honors, including the Ward Foundation�s top award for painting, and she represented the Commonwealth of Virginia at the White House Easter Festivities in 1996. Nancy received her B.A. with high honors in fine arts from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va.. Nancy has been sharing her artistic talents on Road Scholar programs with the Museum of Chincoteague Island for almost 20 years.

New York designers this week are front and center in a social media campaign created to showcase and promote local talent. NY1's Stephanie Simon filed the following report.
What to wear? It's always a tough choice in the morning but WearNewYork Week founders Tim Morehouse and Michael Lavalle say this week it's easy: Support New York based designers by wearing New York labels as often as you can all week long.
"There's so many fantastic designers right here in New York City and so it's a really simple initiative we want people to this morning as you're getting dressed, putting on New York clothing," says Morehouse.
Tim is best known as an Olympic silver medalist in fencing and fashion correspondent. But for this project Tim and Michael want any and all New Yorkers to get involved, not just fashionistas. And prices range from very high end to under $50.
"It's really simple, wear it and share it. Put on your favorite New York City designer, take a photo on Twitter, Instagram, post it on Facebook and let everyone know who your favorite New York City designer is," says Lavalle.
On Monday, NY1 snapped pictures in the heart of the Garment District at the "Only Hearts" showroom. The company was founded by Helena Stuart back in 1978 and operates today with the help of daughter Kaya.
"It started really as intimate apparel but at that time I was wearing the intimate apparel out and then I came up with the concept of inner-outer wear and it just evolved. It's soft dressing, it's provocative but it's not over the top...it's flattering, it's comfortable," says Helena Stuart.
And behind the showroom is the sewing room, because like many of the New York based labels "Only Hearts" doesn't just design here it manufactures here as well.
"I think people should understand a lot about the way a garment is produced. And you really should check labels and see where things are made. It says a lot about the origin of the product," says Kaya Stuart.
WearNewYork Week ends Saturday.

Copyright 2009, Traffic World, Inc.
Five thousand, three hundred fourteen issues. One hundred one years, 10 months and nine days.
No matter how you look at it, Traffic World has had a long, eventful and productive life as the leading weekly transportation and logistics news magazine in the United States.
Starting next week, Traffic World, founded in 1907, will be merged with The Journal of Commerce, founded in 1827. Although the Traffic World name will be retired, The Journal of Commerce will continue the mission defined by its founders - to doggedly cover "freight matters" and provide "the best service that human ingenuity and brains can accomplish."
In its new incarnation, The Journal of Commerce will expand to include Traffic World''s signature coverage of the rail and intermodal and trucking industries, as well as logistics, technology, and air and expedited cargo. The Journal of Commerce, of course, will continue to cover international maritime news and global trade - as it has for 182 years. It will be the broadest, most inclusive version of The Journal of Commerce since its days as a daily newspaper, providing forward-looking news and analysis to readers using a full array of print and online tools.
Traffic World and The Journal of Commerce have been linked since 1990, when Knight-Ridder acquired Traffic World and added it to The Journal of Commerce Group. Both publications were industry "bibles" - must-reading for executives whose businesses depended on the latest information on rail or truck freight rates or shipping line rates and changes at ports and terminals.
The publications had more than coverage in common - both shared an ability to identify new trends and quickly adapt to them. The Journal of Commerce caught the great wave of maritime commerce in the 19th Century - the age of the clipper ship - and rode it far into the future. In similar fashion, Traffic World was propelled by the growth of federal regulation and outrage against railroad market power abuses in the early 20th century.
Traffic World got its start thanks to the Hepburn Amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1906. Sponsored by Rep. William Hepburn, R-Iowa, and backed by President Theodore Roosevelt, the amendment gave the Interstate Commerce Commission broad new powers, including the authority to set maximum rates and replace existing rates with "just and reasonable" charges.
The new law made ICC decisions binding on the railroads. Its orders could only be challenged in federal court. The commission was given the power to enforce a uniform system of accounting and require railroads to submit standardized financial reports.
On top of that, the Hepburn Amendment extended the commission''s authority to bridges, terminals, express companies (such as Wells Fargo & Co. and American Express, which still handled packages and freight in 1906), ferries and pipelines.
The ICC responded by adding staff to handle its new responsibilities. By 1909 it had 527 employees, up from 178 in 1905. The volume of tariffs and ICC decisions soared.
That spelled opportunity for the reporters who founded The Traffic Information Bureau of Chicago and Washington and in 1907 published what was then called The Traffic Bulletin.
"It is our purpose to give that publicity to freight matters and other subjects pertaining to the conduct of the railroads which was contemplated by the framers of the Hepburn Amendment of the Interstate Commerce Act," they said in the introduction to the first edition of The Traffic Bulletin, published April 13, 1907.
Little is known about Traffic World''s founders. The early Traffic World was almost completely anonymous - without even an editorial byline until 1909, when William B. Barr put his name to an article. Barr was identified as vice president, and later editor-in-chief, and often signed articles "W.B.B."
There was nothing anonymous about The Journal of Commerce. It was founded by one of the best-known inventors of the 19th Century, Samuel F.B. Morse.
In 1827, the man who would later invent the telegraph and the Morse code was an accomplished portrait artist. However, Morse also was underemployed, in debt and a widower with children.
He launched The Journal of Commerce with the backing of Arthur and Lewis Tappan, brothers and silk importers in New York.
In 1827, almost everything that was shipped into or among the 24 U.S. states was waterborne, moving from port to port on sailing vessels that plied the ocean and up the many rivers that linked the states together. The Erie Canal linking the Hudson River to Lake Erie and the other Great Lakes was just two years old.
Morse wasn''t inspired by burgeoning maritime, but by the too-short tutu of Madame Francisque Hutin, the French ballerina who performed La Berg

Playground fitness: Parkour gains ground with grown-ups — and troops
As Navy Cmdr. Bill Whitmire stood in the parking lot of a Gulfport, Miss., shopping mall one recent afternoon, his attention wasn't on sales or bargains. Instead, his eyes scoured light poles, stairways, parking barriers and other targets of airborne opportunity.
"I see 12 things right now that I would like to try hang on or vault [over]," the 44-year-old Whitmire said with obvious excitement. "That's the beauty of this sport. The world is your playground."
He's talking about parkour — an increasingly popular sport that combines gymnastics, martial arts and a child's love of playground possibilities. For Whitmire and other enthusiasts, parkour and its sister sport, freerunning, are fresh, fun ways to stay fit, healthy and combat ready.
With its emphasis on practical, natural movement, parkour focuses on getting someone from point A to point B in the fastest, most efficient way possible — whether that's over, under, around or through, with a lot of room for individual creativity.
"It's like being Batman," said Salil Maniktahla, co-owner of the 10,000-square-foot Urban Evolution, a parkour gym in Manassas, Va. Maniktahla and his team train students in their gym and eventually unleash them into the world. "We're running, jumping, climbing, rolling, falling and more. It's the art and discipline of moving through your environment in an interesting and elegant way."
One Sunday in March, more than 30 students of all ages, shapes and sizes jumped over UE's obstacles, walked on railings in tightrope style, traversed various hand holds on elevated platforms or walked up or jumped onto walls. Other students learned to safely fall and roll in ways that allowed them to keep moving despite slips or stumbles. The vibe of the gym was that of a rock-climbing or hiking club — low stress, lots of smiles, little competition but plenty of passion and intensity.
"Fitness should be fun," Maniktahla said. "Do you remember what it was like when you were a kid on the playground? Hanging on the monkey bars, sliding down slides, playing on the elevated obstacles? That kind of stuff is fun to us as a species. I'm not sure why we distance ourselves from those sorts of things as we get older. Maybe it's because we don't want to appear childish. Still, movement is not childish. And trust me — swinging on things is anything but boring!"
If the smiles on his students' faces are any indication, boredom and apathy are anathema at UE.
"In many other gyms, you check your brain out at the door," Maniktahla said. "In parkour, we're always designing or finding new puzzles and problems to solve with movement and technique. It's not all about strength and speed. In fact, technique can trump strength."
A poster in the gym attests to that spirit. It reads: "A Six Pack Is Secondary."
It was that sort of mentality that appealed to Whitmire, a Navy Civil Engineer Corps (Seabee) officer.
In 2010, as the commanding officer of a Seabee training command, Whitmire was looking for ways both to improve his unit's fitness and to reduce the many sports-related injuries among his expeditionary warriors. Rolled ankles, pulled shoulder muscles and thrown-out backs were increasingly common.
Whitmire tried incorporating everything from traditional strength and conditioning exercises to Zumba dance classes, seeking ways to improve the core condition and coordination of his troops.
"Imagine me and a bunch of Navy chiefs doing Zumba," he recalled. "Don't laugh too hard, though. The spatial awareness benefits were not unlike that in football and basketball."
Still, he kept looking for new, innovative — and practical — ways to motivate and inspire the "Can Do" command. One night in 2011, while surfing Netflix, he stumbled upon a straight-to-DVD-quality film titled "Freerunner." The film features a young freerunner with a ticking time bomb attached to his neck "racing against the clock and all types of baddies to get from one end of the city to the other to save himself and his girlfriend."
The parkour actor/athletes in the film jumped off rooftops, scaled walls and leapt onto and over cars with abandon. Think "American Ninja Warrior" on steroids. "It looked like a heck of a lot of fun and excitement," Whitmire said. "The ways they navigated obstacles in an urban terrain were amazing. I wanted to learn more about it."
A few Web searches later, Whitmire found Maniktahla and Urban Evolution. He asked Maniktahla if he'd be interested in coming down to Gulfport, Miss., to conduct an informal parkour seminar for the Seabees.
"These are people at peak physical conditioning who know there is no easy way," Maniktahla said. "They immediately took to it and ran with it."
Using cargo containers, Hesco barriers and anything else Maniktahla and his team identified as possible training tools, Whitmire and his Seabees soon were hooked.
"We weren't doing back flips, jumping off buildings or climbing gigantic warped walls," he said. "Still, we were hanging on A-frames, traversing across bars and climbing up the sides of walls and jumping over things. It was fun, and there's a lot of variety and real-world application to it."
And unlike traditional obstacle courses, which are few and fixed, parkour's possibilities are endless.
Whitmire has devoted himself to the sport and continues to organize small parkour clubs, raising awareness and educating others about the sport.
Variety and challenge, experts contend, is the key to lifelong fitness. Parkour offers both.
"I'm doing some kind of parkour five days a week, and I love it," Whitmire says — despite the occasional need to taper back. "Because there's a lot of body weight exercises, it's a little hard on my shoulders and biceps. There are times I need to back off and recover, but I'm always right back to it."
Military roots
According to the World Freerunning Parkour Federation, parkour was born in 1902 following the eruption of a volcano on the Caribbean island of Martinique.
A French naval officer, Lt. George Hebert, "valiantly coordinated the rescue and escape of over 700 people from the scene, both indigenous and European. The experience had a profound effect on him as he watched people move, well or badly, around the obstacles in their path. The heroism and tragedy he witnessed on that day reinforced his belief that, to be of real value, athletic skill must be combined with courage and altruism, 'Etre fort pour être utile' — 'Be strong to be useful.'"
Hebert also was impressed by the physical development and movement skills of indigenous peoples in Africa and elsewhere, according to the WFPF, "and so created a physical training discipline that he called 'the natural method' using climbing, running and man-made obstacle courses to recreate the natural environment."
Hebert's methods soon were incorporated into French military training and became known as "parcours du combatant," which translates as "the path of the warrior."
Chris Lawson is a former Military Times managing editor.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --
Bredesen said in unveiling the plan Wednesday that the administration will make the cuts voluntary and will offer buyouts as an incentive.
The layoffs will represent a 5 percent reduction in the state work force.
Bredesen says other cuts will include no new pre-kindergarten classrooms. He also said money from the new cigarette tax won't be used to increase the funding formula for schools.
