E3 2011: Aliens Colonial Marines
QUICKTAKE: After the events of David Fincher's Alien 3, a group of USCM troops touch down on the mysterious planet known as LV-426, coming face-to-face with the menacing Xenomorphs. Dubbed as a true narrative sequel to James Cameron's Aliens, my short demo of the Gearbox-developed game Aliens: Colonial Marines did a lot to prove the team behind it has a deep admiration for the series. But, I'm left wondering how the game will tie in with the series canonically.
THE DEMO: After a few dramatic glimpses at flickering lights and falling debris, Aliens: Colonial Marines got right into the action. Beeps from a motion tracker tease the arrival of the franchise's iconic foe. While investigating the devastated wasteland of the Hadley's Hope complex, a pack of xeno drones attack the unsuspecting soldiers. Later, the soldiers meet a new type of alien attacker: a bull-like xenomorph dubbed the "Crusher." This enemy sports a wide, hard head and rushes into everything from obstacles to soldiers. According to Gearbox, the crushers are designed to act as the protectors of game's biggest threat: the Queen.
After showcasing the game's four-player, drop-in/drop-out feature, the demo proceeds to a landing dock where the USCM soliders are preparing for the next attack. Here a number of "Power Loader" exoskeleton suits retrofitted with weapons await attack. Soon the xenomorph Queen bursts into the area and a battle ensues. The Queen shrugs off attacks from all sides of the solider-filled room, before rushing the playable character to end the demo.
DETAILS: There's a lot of a fan service included in Aliens: Colonial Marines, with a number of bonuses Gearbox says will be scattered throughout the world (Bishop's legs, anyone?). The game will visit locales featured in the films, including Hadley's Hope on LV-426, the alien vessel from Alien, and the Sulaco. Fan service is definitely a draw, but the game's placement in the franchise timeline begs a slew of questions to be answered.
How is Hadley's Hope and the complex on LV-426 still standing when it was destroyed at the end of Aliens? According to Gearbox, the destruction at the end of the second film was not enough to turn the complex entirely to dust. Instead, players will be tasked with approaching and investigating the debris of that film's fallout. Another concern is that there is no accounting for the xenomorph's acidic blood. In one scene, the alien pounces onto the playable character, only to be subdued by a shotgun shell to the head. While its green blood spills everywhere, the playable character nor the environment appear to take any damage. According to Gearbox, the blood's metal-melting properties were only used "when needed" in the films. This leads me to believe that we will encounter situations where the blood does factor in, but it won't constantly be something players will have to deal with.
Another question: where are the aliens even coming from? Considering the fiery fate of the LV-426 colonists during Ripley's final stand on the planet, we're not sure how so many alien enemies are alive to stir up so much trouble on LV-426. Gearbox says they'll explain that throughout the game. As a fan of the Aliens franchise, I'm hoping the "explanations" won't feel like a shoehorned excuse for the game's existence.
Alien is iconic for its dramatic tone and how an unknown force could destroy an entire crew. Aliens further examined that dynamic and displayed the power of the xenos against an army. Where can the narrative of Colonial Marines go from there? What other story can they tell other than another group of marines being systematically decimated by an alien race, while forcing the events of Alien Resurrection?
There are a lot of narrative concerns for the game, but I'm not worried about the game's action. The demo for Aliens: Colonial Marines shows that Gearbox has captured the tone and look of the series (though some of the sounds seem off). All of the classic weaponry was included. (Although, Gearbox wouldn't confirm if "Harsh Language" was an unlockable munition.) Each battle captures the right atmosphere of fear: enemies don't rush or flank you from Point A to Point B--they attack from all sides. You'll end up battling aliens in the dark using nothing but muzzle-flashes, or dark red security lights, to light your path. It may be dressed up as a high-powered, good-looking first-persons shooter, but Aliens: Colonial Marines has its roots seeded in survival horror. This isn't going to be a game based on kill-count, but one based on your ability to survive.
Aliens: Colonial Marines launches on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in 2012.

Evening Reading: of LAN Parties and F1 ChampionsI got together with some friends on Saturday for a small LAN party. Blasphemous, I know, but we played on our 360s. Tell you what; it proved to me just how bad ass FiOS is. We ran all four of us on Live and played Black Ops and Halo:Reach without any hiccups. It was also interesting contrasting the two very different styles of play in the two games. Not a bad way to spend the day at all.
Was also a good weekend sporting-wise with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel taking home the driver's championship for the season and my Cowboys doing a complete identity change and playing with heart in beating the New York football Giants.
Here we are back kicking off another week on the Shack with today's videogame news:
- Baldur's Gate 2 Released on GOG
- Indie Developers Band Together for 'Indie Winter Games Uprising' Promo on Xbox Live
- Fable 3 DLC 'Understone Quest Pack' Announced
- Kinect Sells 1 Million Units in First Ten Days, On Pace to Hit 5 Million Unit Goal by Year's End
And, from around the Net:
- The National Ignition Facility Wants to "create a miniature star on earth.
- The new Girl Talk album 'All Day' is out and a free download
- Tomorrow's big Apple announcement is evidently the Beatles coming to iTunes
- As spotted by Chris Remo Our Valued Customers reminds us all how fun retail can be. (and if you've not seen it before, check the classic Acts of Gord)

Google, Mercedes-Benz also can now legally test autonomous technology on state roads.
When Google first revealed in 2010 that it had logged over 140,000 miles on California roads testing its autonomous cars, the state didn't have laws governing the technology. Since then, California has moved -- although much more slowly than the technology -- to permit the limited use of roads within the state for autonomous-car testing.
The state passed a law allowing testing of driverless cars in 2012, but it didn't take effect until this week. Audi was the first automaker to get a permit from California on Tuesday, followed by Mercedes-Benz and Google. In all, California issued permits on Tuesday for 29 vehicles from the three companies; Google has 25 self-driving vehicles, while Mercedes and Audi each have two.
New Mustang V6 is off 3 mpg from the previous model with automatic transmission and 1 mpg with manual.
While enthusiast drivers typically don't expect a sports car to sip gas, when the previous Ford Mustang topped the 30-mpg barrier -- while still producing 300 horsepower -- it marked a fuel efficiency milestone for muscle cars. And that the all-new 2015 Mustang will be available with a 4-cylinder engine for the first time since 1993 is proof that Ford's new pony was designed with gas sipping in mind.
But according to new Environmental Protection Agency figures, the 2015 Ford Mustang's fuel economy numbers are lower than the outgoing models when equipped with a similarly sized 3.7-liter V6 engine and either the 6-speed automatic or manual transmission. The EPA has rated the 2015 Mustang with the automatic transmission at 28 mpg on the highway, whereas the 2014 V6 Mustang automatic was rated 31 mpg highway -- 3 mpg more. The 2014 V6 Mustang with a manual was rated at 29, 1 mpg higher.
City ratings for the 2015 V6 Mustang are slightly higher than the 2014 model: 21 mpg for the automatic and 22 mpg for the manual. These were 19 mpg with either transmission for the 2014 model.
The new numbers put the new V6 Mustang neck-in-neck in fuel economy with its main competitor, the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro.
CEO Elon Musk says all the company's cars will eventually have 'autopilot' technology.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said earlier this year that his company would produce a self-driving car — or "autopilot" technology, as he prefers to call it. But he didn't set a timeline the way Nissan had by announcing it would have an autonomous car on the market by 2020.
In a recent interview with the Japanese media outlet Nikkei Asian Review, Musk revealed that Tesla is developing its own self-driving technology, and he also gave a firmer deadline for when it will arrive: in about three years.
This also coincides with the scheduled launch of Tesla's lowest-priced model to date, the Model 3 sedan, which is aimed at mainstream car buyers with a sticker starting at around $35,000 and a range of at least 200 miles on a single charge.
Musk said he still believes that "full auto-pilot capability is going to happen, probably, in the five- or six-year time frame." So, reading the Tesla tea leaves, it appears that Tesla will first introduce a semi-autonomous-driving technology like GM's Super Cruise for the 2017 Cadillac CTS that was announced last week.
As with other aspects of Tesla's vehicle development programs, the EV-only automaker won't go it alone. "The overall system and software will be programmed by Tesla, but we will certainly use sensors and subcomponents from many companies," Musk said.
And while Model 3 may be the first Tesla with semi-autonomous technology, it won't be the last, especially with Model S owners asking for more driver assist technologies. "I think in the long term, all Tesla cars will have auto-pilot capability," Musk added.

Automaker will rely on Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto instead of its own AppShop.
In what could become a win for Google and Apple, General Motors is drastically curtailing its new AppShop designed to provide in-dash Internet applications for upcoming cars. GM instead will have drivers access apps through the upcoming Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto smartphone platforms it plans to integrate into its future vehicles.
According to the tech blog Gigaom, GM's leading connected-car executive, Mary Chan, confirmed the significant shift in strategy at the CTIA Wireless Conference this week in Las Vegas. The Chevy AppShop, launched in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, was scheduled to deliver apps such as iHeartRadio, NPR, The Weather Channel, Glympe and others into the GM brand's vehicles.
But Chan told Gigaom that future app development that isn't directly related to core car functions will be handled by the upcoming Apple and Google platforms. "Those types of applications are great applications to be brought into the car with the smartphone," Chan said. "The types of apps we want to focus on are the ones that require a much deeper integration with the vehicle."
Unanimous vote gives Tesla right to sell.
Massachusetts' highest court on Monday threw out a lawsuit seeking to block Tesla Motors Inc. from selling its luxury electric cars directly to consumers in the state, enabling it to bypass traditional dealerships.
The state's Supreme Judicial Court unanimously concluded that the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association and two dealers lacked standing to block direct Tesla sales under a state law designed to protect franchise owners from abuses by car manufacturers.
Justice Margot Botsford wrote that the law was aimed at protecting dealers from unfair practices of manufacturers and distributors "with which they are associated, generally in a franchise relationship," rather than unaffiliated manufacturers.
NHTSA chief calls for car companies to 'move forward aggressively on cybersecurity.'
With car connectivity accelerating and the federal government looking to mandate wireless networks of roads and vehicles, the nation's top auto safety regulator said "the time is now" to "move forward aggressively on cybersecurity." Specifically, David Friedman, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, called on automakers to become more collaborative in fighting car hacking.
"Certain things about safety should not be at all about competitive advantage," Friedman said at the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress last week, according to the Detroit Free Press. "I think cybersecurity is one of those perfect examples where sharing information will ensure that everyone is better off."
Last year after sensational headlines on car hacking caught the public's attention, various branches of the federal government called attention to the threat. Former NHTSA director David Strickland said at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing in May 2013 that the agency didn't "want to be behind the eight ball" on car security.
Idaho ranks first since it has 'a dichotomy of drivers' that either go too fast or too slow.
Which state has the rudest drivers? That's the question Insure.com posed to 2,000 drivers nationwide.
The survey was made up of half women and half men, and respondents represented all 50 states in line with census population data. The state rankings were then calculated using a ratio of the nationwide votes for drivers from a particular state divided by the number of respondents from that state.
Claiming the dubious distinction of having the rudest drivers of any state, at least according to this survey, is Idaho. A state that doesn't have any large metropolitan areas -- hence not a lot of traffic -- may seem like a surprise.
"The roadways of Idaho present a dichotomy of drivers: Those who are moving so slowly that they're judged to be rude, and the aggressive drivers who speed around them and flip them off," the website said. Insure.com quoted lead-footed Idahoan Matt Stubbs as pointing to the slowpokes in the state as the rude ones "taking their time, driving 5 to 10 miles an hour under the limit."
Next on the list was the place where politics -- and sometimes driving -- is a contact sport: Washington, D.C.
Project will encompass network of cameras and sensors along 120 miles of freeways.
Detroit helped transform transportation 100 years ago when cars that the city began cranking out took to the nation's roads. A century later, drivers are dealing with the consequence of that popularity in the form of traffic jams, accidents and air pollution. Now the Detroit area wants to be on the cutting-edge of solving these problems.
A public-corporate partnership announced this week at the 2014 Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress in Detroit by the Michigan Department of Transportation, the University of Michigan, General Motors and Ford plans to string a network of cameras and sensors along 120 miles of freeways in the metro Detroit area. This vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) network will allow cars to communicate with traffic infrastructure such as stoplights, and it expands a recent large-scale vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication field trial undertaken by U of M, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and others in neighboring Ann Arbor.
And is making the Detroit area the hotbed of innovation in connected vehicle research and deployment.

By Amy LangeFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Tuesday, Mayor Dave Bing got Detroit City Council to oust Krystal Crittendon as corporation counsel.Bing and Crittendon have sparred for months over the consent agreement with the state.Three council members, JoAnn Watson, Brenda Jones and Kwame Kenyatta told the mayor no."It's clear that this leadership is out of control and maybe it is time for someone else to come in and run this ship," remarked Kenyatta, who even went as far as to say the city should go bankrupt."Maybe it is time for bankruptcy because clearly we're bankrupt on a moral, political and justice level even if we're not bankrupt on an economic level."But the other six council members approved the mayor's request meaning Crittendon reverts back to her old position within the law department. She is simply unappointed from her position as top lawyer."This is specifically about the mayor's ability to be able to appoint and unappoint those who work for him," said City Council President Charles Pugh. "I believe the mayor should be able to do that.""The mayor made the case for wanting to appoint his own corporation counsel and wanting to make that choice, that selection for himself in these difficult times," Council Member Saunteel Jenkins."I've been hearing rumors for awhile," Crittendon told Fox 2's Alexis Wiley by phone. "I heard some really specific rumors this past weekend, so I thought that it might happen, but I didn't here it from either the mayor or city council. I saw it on television like everyone else."Does Crittendon believe she did the job she was supposed to do?"Absolutely and if I had to do it over again I'd do the same thing."Meanwhile, the mayor is pleased council approved contracts worth nearly $7.5 million to outside firms to continue the restructuring. The city also wants to stop making contributions to pension plans, have employees pay 30 percent of healthcare costs and implement furloughs, as well as 400 to 500 layoffs. But even that might not prevent an emergency manager from taking over. The state's review team will make a recommendation to the governor on January 11."I personally don't believe that anybody's going to come in here and replace this team and do a better job," said Bing.

Firefighters were called a grass fire that quickly spread to two structures Friday evening, and they are calling it suspicious.
The fire started around 7:00pm Friday on North Upriver Drive and East Buckeye. The flames originated in a grass field and quickly spread to a shed and another house. Officials say the house had never been rebuilt from a fire that killed two people back in 2005, so they took a defensive approach for the safety of the firefighters.
As the fire spread, power lines nearby began to arc and spark smaller grass fires, though crews were able to expand their efforts to extinguish those flames as well.
Witnesses reported seeing a suspicious person in the area shortly before the fire started and right now authorities are looking for that suspect.

We've all done it....we've been so excited to eat ice cream or chug that slurpy that we have suffered brain freezes. Here are some ways to avoid them!
Rub the Back of Your Neck or Temples Having a nice massage is always a good way to relieve some stress and tension in your body. If you are in pain the almost automatic response is to rub the spot and make it feel better. Why wouldn't the same thing apply to an ice cream headache.
Wait It Out You know what they say, MAN UP! You don't need any silly remedies, grit your teeth, sit down, and wait it out
Press Your Thumb Against the Roof of Your Mouth This may not be the most effective way to stop brain freeze, but it's the one that we use, and it works for us. Each and every person's body emits heat, and when you place your thumb on the roof of your mouth you are warming your palate.
Press Your Tongue Against the Roof of the Mouth to Warm the Area This is the same concept as using your thumb. Your tongue is warm and will increase the temperature of your palate.
Melt Your Frosty Treat in the Microwave Melting your Frozen Treat is an inconceivable concept. It becomes a warm liquid and is not as appetizing. Have you ever tried it? Did you ever think about some ice cream soup? No, well I have and it's actually pretty good--the sky is the limit. If your frozen treat turns into a warm refreshment you will eliminate all forms of brain freeze. It might be less filling, but try it out.
Drink a Liquid That is Warmer Than the Cold Substance If you're eating a freezing cold scoop of ice cream, gelato, or frozen yogurt, you can calmly stop a brain freeze with a room temperature drink. Most people carry around water bottles with them or have something to drink. Even if the drink is cold, as long as the drink is "warmer" than the frozen treat than the brain freeze will stop.
Use Your (Warm) Breath Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a dragon and breath fire? Well if you're one of those fire breathers in a circus this is no dream, except for the dragon part. Actually when you breathe, you are emitting warm air. If you breathe regularly you will be warming the inside of your mouth and helping to eliminate the terrorizing brain freeze.

It seems the cat in the tree has been replaced by the dog in the sewer after firefighters in North Hudson, Wis., rescued one scared dog that crawled into a storm drain and couldn't get out.
What started as a call for a confined-space rescue quickly turned into something very different than what firefighters Steven Hering and Mike Perucca had in mind.
The dog had apparently crawled into a culvert that connected with a manhole in the street before falling almost 25 feet down.
"When we first got there and looked down the manhole, [the dog] was laying down and we weren't quite sure what condition it was in," Perucca recalled.
Although the dog somehow managed to crawl in through the culvert -- now blocked with a bale of hay and large rock -- on Wednesday night, there was no way for her to get out the way she came.
"We built up a system using a tripod and a system of ropes and pulleys," Perucca explained. "We lowered Steve and myself down and we used a makeshift tarp to wrap around the dog. Then, we roped the dog up."
It wasn't a simple up and out, however. When the two firefighters got down to the dog, she didn't know if they were friend or foe. Even though Perucca and Hering had brought dog treats down with them, the dog was still skeptical.
"The trickiest part was getting her to settle down and get in the blanket," Hering said. "We got a muzzle on her and she finally calmed down and we wrapped her up."
After two hours of trying to coax the 50-pound yellow Labrador named Ella out, firefighters finally emerged with her in their arms.
"It was happy to be out," Hering said. "When we got her undone from the tarp, she went running around, and that's what made us think she was alright."
Aside from the cramped and humid conditions, crews only had headlamps to help them see. They also had to constantly monitor the air quality to make sure it was safe, but in the end, they say it was worth it.

Earlier this week I was using the bathroom stall at a local gas station. (BTW it was a NICE gas station, as proof with this picture.)
I noticed something I never had noticed before. Maybe it's because I'm a parent now...and with 3 young kids, we rarely go anywhere in public because my twin boys don't really "listen" yet and they like to roam.
Anyway, I guess if you have to use the bathroom stall, you can sit your infant or toddler on this contraption and they will be restrained. Actually, a VERY good idea by somebody...dang I wish I would have thought of this:
My question is....has anybody every used one of these? Did your child appreciate a front-row seat watching as you use the restroom? (Some people can't go with any audience, but I suspect those wouldn't be the kind of people that may use this, lol!)

Two New Studies Profile Prognostic Factors for Breast Cancer
Two new studies provide insight into the use of new and standard prognostic factors for women with breast cancer. The first, conducted by Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli and colleagues at several prominent U.S. cancer research centers, confirms the long-held hypothesis that the number of cancer cells in the blood are a direct indicator of disease severity. The results are published in the August 19 New England Journal of Medicine.
This research was performed using a new test - the CellSearch System - which uses antibody-coated magnetic beads followed by fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies to distinguish cancerous epithelial cells from leukocytes in a blood sample. The test was developed by the research sponsor, Immunicon Corp. Read more
A Vital Connection to the Cancer Community
One of the most effective ways in which NCI interacts with the cancer community is through our advisory boards. Next week, for instance, the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) will meet for the third time this year. Among the advisory boards and committees to NCI, the NCAB plays a unique role. The NCAB advises both NCI leadership and the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services with regard to the Institute's strategic plan and its intramural and extramural research activities. The committee's 18 members are appointed by the President.
The NCAB also is distinct from other NCI advisory boards in that it provides secondary peer review of all grant applications to NCI over $50,000. This is a critical responsibility that ensures the NCAB is an active participant in guiding the direction of cancer research. Read more
Two New Studies Profile Prognostic Factors for Breast Cancer
Two new studies provide insight into the use of new and standard prognostic factors for women with breast cancer. The first, conducted by Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli and colleagues at several prominent U.S. cancer research centers, confirms the long-held hypothesis that the number of cancer cells in the blood are a direct indicator of disease severity. The results are published in the August 19 New England Journal of Medicine.
This research was performed using a new test - the CellSearch System - which uses antibody-coated magnetic beads followed by fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies to distinguish cancerous epithelial cells from leukocytes in a blood sample. The test was developed by the research sponsor, Immunicon Corp.
All 177 women in the study group had metastatic breast cancer and were starting a new course of systemic treatment. The women began the study with standard imaging of metastatic sites and a baseline test for the number of cancer cells in their blood, followed by another blood test approximately 4 weeks later and additional imaging around 10 weeks after baseline. A comparison of these data points, with consideration of various cancer risk factors, showed that circulating tumor cells were a useful predictor of disease progression and survival in these women. Analysis also showed that five cancer cells per 7.5 milliliters of blood was the cutoff for determining a poor prognosis or the likelihood of progression-free survival. Women above the cutoff had a significantly shorter survival period - a median of 10 months - compared with more than 18 months of progression-free survival for women below the cutoff.
The authors note that the CellSearch System is not proven as a reliable screening tool for metastatic breast cancer. They do, however, see its promise as a means of determining treatment efficacy much earlier than was previously possible - within 3 to 4 weeks of initiation - compared with the 8 to 12 weeks that imaging studies require.
"This test has the potential to change clinical management," Dr. Cristofanilli said in an interview with Reuters Health. "One day, we may be able to suggest to a patient, based on personal risk, a more aggressive treatment, a less aggressive treatment, or no treatment at all."
The second study, published in the September 1 Journal of the National Cancer Institute by Dr. Catherine Schairer and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, showed that the probability of death from breast cancer varied substantially when taking into consideration standard prognostic factors such as age at diagnosis, tumor size, estrogen receptor (ER) status, and stage of disease. Overall, probability of death from breast cancer relative to death from other causes generally declined with age within stage, but increased with advancing stage of disease, regardless of age, in both white and black patients. Young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, and women of all ages who are diagnosed with breast cancer in its advanced stages, are more likely to die from it than from any other cause.
To develop better estimates of the risk of death from breast cancer and other causes in breast cancer patients, Dr. Schairer and her team analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data from more than 400,000 breast cancer patients diagnosed between 1973 and 2000. They calculated probabilities over a 28-year follow-up period according to the women's age at diagnosis, stage of disease, and race. More recent data allowed additional analysis according to tumor size and ER status over an 11-year period.
"To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive competing-risk analysis to quantify the probability of death from breast cancer and other causes after a diagnosis of breast cancer," said Dr. Schairer. "These results can provide important prognostic information to physicians and patients, and may help in weighing the risks and benefits of various treatment options, particularly in older women."
Dr. Schairer also believes that future studies, such as similar analyses for other cancers and more in-depth analyses for breast cancer according to tumor size and hormone receptor status, could generate additional valuable tools for physicians and patients.
A Vital Connection to the Cancer Community
One of the most effective ways in which NCI interacts with the cancer community is through our advisory boards. Next week, for instance, the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) will meet for the third time this year. Among the advisory boards and committees to NCI, the NCAB plays a unique role. The NCAB advises both NCI leadership and the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services with regard to the Institute's strategic plan and its intramural and extramural research activities. The committee's 18 members are appointed by the President.
The NCAB also is distinct from other NCI advisory boards in that it provides secondary peer review of all grant applications to NCI over $50,000. This is a critical responsibility that ensures the NCAB is an active participant in guiding the direction of cancer research.
The NCAB's close affiliation with the President's Cancer Panel (PCP) also sets it apart. In fact, PCP members attend every NCAB meeting, typically providing an update on the panel's activities, but also often engaging in the board's discussions.
Although the NCAB is one small group of individuals, through its standing and ad hoc subcommittees and work groups, it can tap into experts in every aspect of cancer research and treatment, which significantly expands its ability to thoroughly address the issues brought before it. When a subcommittee makes recommendations (which must first be accepted by the full NCAB), the result can often be immediate and lasting. For example, in February 2003, an NCAB ad hoc working group that examined the award mechanisms for funding cancer centers (P30) and Specialized Programs of Research Excellence, or SPOREs (P50) issued an excellent report that included a number of recommendations NCI is acting on, including using cancer centers to pilot new research and dissemination programs, such as the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG).
Under the thoughtful leadership of NCAB chair Dr. John Niederhuber, I am confident that the NCAB will continue to have a positive and lasting impact on NCI's activities and the course of cancer research and care. The commitment and expertise of the NCAB and the other NCI advisory boards are one reason that I am confident we can achieve the 2015 goal.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach
People who are genetically predisposed to certain types of cancer can undergo treatments and surgeries that might reduce their risk of disease. For example, women who carry a mutation of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are genetically predisposed to breast or ovarian cancer and can undergo tubal ligation or prophylactic mastectomy. Research on the effectiveness of interventions such as these can influence what physicians recommend and what individuals ultimately decide to do. In a commentary in the August 18 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Sholom Wacholder of NCI warns that some of these studies may be susceptible to a bias that can misrepresent the effectiveness of the interventions.
Clinics that care for people at high risk for cancer provide a prime setting to study an intervention's efficacy because these clinics see a large number of patients who are carriers of mutated genes. Patients with these mutations who have been diagnosed with cancer typically serve as the study group; those who are carriers but have not developed cancer may be part of the study's control group.
In some studies, controls are recruited only from these high-risk clinics while study group patients are sometimes recruited from sources other than high-risk clinics to increase the number of such patients. As a result, those who were not diagnosed with cancer but previously seen at the clinic - the control group - may be more likely than the study group to have received an intervention. This discrepancy between groups, Dr. Wacholder points out, might cause the study to falsely conclude that the controls' lack of disease is a result of the intervention's effectiveness. Dr. Wacholder recommends that researchers, clinicians, and patients be wary of results from studies with this potential bias until researchers can either eliminate the bias or show that their results are not affected by it.
Breast Tumors Found to be More Aggressive in African American Women
African American women are much more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer tumors than are white women, according to a study in the August 9 online issue of Cancer from researchers at Yale University School of Medicine, led by Dr. Beth Jones. The study found that there were racial differences in genetic alterations, with African American women having a greater chance of carrying changes in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. The study was funded by NCI and the U.S. Department of Defense.
While white women have the highest rate of breast cancer, African American women have the highest death rate of all races from the disease. This anomaly persists even when adjusting for age, socio- economic status, and disease stage.
The researchers compared tumor samples from 145 African American women and 177 white women. They found that African American women were significantly more likely to have later stage tumors, larger tumors, positive lymph nodes, and tumors with higher histologic and nuclear grades - all characteristics associated with a poor outcome. "This study offers new evidence for possible racial/ethnic differences with regard to p53 alterations," wrote Dr. Jones.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Lisa Newman of the Breast Care Center at the University of Michigan noted that ethnic background differences in breast cancer incidence and mortality are observed worldwide. "The excellent study by Dr. Jones provides an example of how advances in medical technology are allowing the oncology community to explore population-based variation in breast carcinoma epidemiology on a more scientific level," she wrote.
Combination Therapy Holds Promise for Prostate Cancer Patients
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) combined with standard radiation therapy (RT) increases survival in men with localized prostate cancer when compared to RT alone, according to study results reported in the August 18 Journal of the American Medical Association. The prospective study was conducted by Dr. Anthony D'Amicio and colleagues at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Previous studies have shown the benefits of a 3-year course of combination treatment in men with locally advanced and high-risk prostate cancer. But, AST for more than 1 year is associated with negative side effects, including decreased bone mass; impairment of memory, attention, and executive functions; anemia; muscle loss in exchange for body fat; hot flashes; and impotence.
To determine the efficacy of a shorter combination therapy regimen, Dr. D'Amicio and colleagues recruited 206 participants with clinically localized prostate cancer to this trial, randomizing them to receive either 70 Gy RT alone or the same dose of RT combined with 6 months of AST. After an average follow-up of 4.5 years, results projected that the 5-year survival rate for patients in the combination-therapy arm would be 88 percent, compared to 78 percent for patients in the RT arm. The authors noted that "decreasing AST duration could profoundly impact a patient's quality of life," and suggested additional avenues of research, such as the survival benefits of additional radiation sites and higher radiation dosage in combination therapy.
High Burden of Illness Found in Cancer Survivors
Cancer survivors are more likely to report poorer health than similar individuals without cancer, according to a study published in the September 1 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Cancer survivors reported significantly poorer outcomes in both quality of life and work productivity. This finding was consistent across multiple tumor types and times since diagnosis.
"What are the non-medical costs of cancer?" asks lead author Dr. Robin Yabroff of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. To examine this burden of cancer, Dr. Yabroff and colleagues analyzed data from the 2000 National Health Interview Survey. A total of 1,823 cancer survivors and 5,469 age-, sex-, and educational attainment-matched control subjects were included in the study.
While prior cancer burden studies have focused mainly on the costs of treatment, this study focused on two other elements: productivity loss and quality of life. Even long-term survivors with 11 or more years since diagnosis were more likely to report more lost productivity and worse quality of life than similar individuals without cancer. "The findings are pretty compelling, and cancer burden appears to go beyond the costs of medical care," says Dr. Yabroff. This study is one component of NCI's Health Services and Economics Branch's efforts to disseminate data resources to support policy-relevant research on economic and health services research questions and improve measurement of cancer burden.
Research Links Specific ABC Transporters and Drug Efficacy
NCI scientists have identified associations between expression of individual transporters in cancer cells and the development of resistance, and sensitivity, to specific drugs. The research, published in the August 22 issue of Cancer Cell, details the gene expression of a 48-member family of membrane proteins called ABC transporters, for which the multidrug resistance gene MDR1 is the prototype.
ABC transporters regulate the traffic of molecules - including hormones and lipids - in and out of cells. Many of these 48 proteins transport toxic materials out of cells, conferring drug resistance. "Multidrug resistance is a major barrier to effective cancer chemotherapy," said Dr. Gergely Szakács, one of the study authors, adding "even low levels of resistance can have a significant impact on the efficacy of chemotherapy."
The study team, which also included Drs. Jean-Philippe Annereau, Michael Gottesman, and collaborators in the laboratory of Dr. John Weinstein, discovered 131 strongly correlated drug-gene pairs where the expression of a specific ABC transporter was accompanied by decreased sensitivity to particular drugs. Conversely, the expression of some ABC transporters, most notably MDR1, caused an increase in cancer cells' sensitivity to some drugs. This increase was unexpected, as MDR1 is perhaps the best-known multidrug resistance protein. Identification of drugs with increased activity in MDR1 expressing tumor cells raises the exciting possibility of eventually using such compounds against cancers expressing MDR1. The researchers advocate further investigation in order to discover more compounds that may interact in this way with MDR1 and other ABC transporters.
The research team has catalogued information about these drug-gene pairs in a database, which is available at http://discover.nci.nih.gov/ABC. The authors expect the database to spur further research into novel therapies designed to either evade or exploit the identified drug-gene associations.
Dr. John E. Niederhuber, a professor of oncology and surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, was recently re-appointed as chair of the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB). He was originally appointed in 2002.
What do you see as the NCAB's primary role or goals?
Our second objective is stewardship - to provide oversight of NCI's activities. We need and want to pay attention to the Institute's financial management and to programmatic outcomes. We want to know if NCI is achieving its mission and its specific goals. We also need to understand whether the goals and the programs that have been created in the past are still relevant to today's mission and goals. And our third responsibility is advocacy. We need to be active in ensuring that NCI's visions and successes are communicated to the institute's key stakeholders, and that includes everybody from R01 grantees to Congress to the public at large.
What do you see as some of the biggest issues facing NCI and the cancer community?
What role do you think the NCAB can play in that regard?
This will be your second term as NCAB chair. Both personally and professionally, what attracts you to this position?

Prevention of Bone Fractures in Prostate Cancer Patients
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
This study will evaluate the ability of zoledronate (Zometa), one of a family of drugs known as bisphosphonates, to prevent fractures and other bone complications when administered at the same time as or shortly following androgen deprivation therapy. Currently, zoledronate is given to prostate cancer patients after androgen deprivation has stopped working.
"We know that zoledronate inhibits bone resorption and that it reduces problems such as fractures, spinal column compression, and pain associated with bone metastases," said Dr. Smith. "The question this trial is intended to answer is whether giving zoledronate to patients earlier, while they are still responding to androgen deprivation therapy, will result in improved outcomes."

Future Directions for Cancer Screening Promotion
The authors point out that multilevel approaches to screening, such as telephone counseling and physician recommendation, offer the greatest potential for improving and sustaining screening rates and appropriate follow-up care. They also note that future intervention studies should include cost-effectiveness analyses and plans for dissemination, and add that it is not enough to promote the uptake of cancer screening tests - practitioners must effectively communicate the benefits and risks of screening tests, as well as test options and limitations, so that people can make informed decisions about cancer screening.
Behavioral scientists and other researchers can use the supplement, available at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jissue/109594949, as a point from which to advance the next generation of research to promote cancer screening.
Radiation Oncology Sciences Program Staff Visit Capitol Hill
The ROSP's intramural component provides clinical care and conducts basic and translational research on the use of imaging in radiation therapy and the effects of radiation on healthy and cancer cells. A highlight of the briefing was Dr. Kevin Camphausen's discussion of participant care in NCI-run clinical trials. Attendees also learned about the telesynergy program which increases minority access to and participation in radiation clinical trials, encourages research in cancer disparities, and develops new institutions within minority communities for long-term research efforts.

Some heavy speculations have arisen this week on the possible return of Steve Austin to WWE. Reports have surfaced that management has informed manufacturers to go heavy on products related to Stone Cold and informed distributors to prepare for a boost in merchandise coming through. No word yet on what Austin will be doing when he comes back, but there is a chance that it could just be a brief appearance.
September 26, 2014
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Rumors have persisted for quite some time now that there is still backstage heat towards Jim Ross in WWE. There is some new evidence to support that claim. Ross recently revealed that the company has not approved any of their performers to be a guest on his podcast show, where Steve Austin and Chris Jericho have had plenty of WWE personnel, including Triple H himself, doing interviews for them.
September 1, 2014
There's been another casualty in WWE, thanks to the company losing millions of dollars this year. Tough Enough has been taken off of life support and has now been officially scrapped. Management was hoping to do another season of the show, and they were still trying to get Steve Austin to jump back on board. However, after severely reducing the available budget for Tough Enough, officials decided that it would not work out with the limited amount of funding.
August 28, 2014
Life after professional wrestling continues to be great for Steve Austin. He recently revealed that the studios have renewed Redneck Island for a fourth season and have decided to give the Broken Skull Challenge a second one. These deals give him a bit of leverage in negotiations with WWE, who still want him to return for another season of Tough Enough.
August 26, 2014
Expect to hear plenty of comparisons between Dean Ambrose and Steve Austin over the next couple of months. WWE is having the former Shield member take elements of the Austin character in an attempt to win over even more fans. While it was not shown on Monday Night Raw, the company is doing a story where Ambrose refused medical attention after being severely injured by Kane and Seth Rollins.
August 21, 2014
There's a little battle brewing right now between two of the greatest WWE stars of all time. Recently, Steve Austin stated that he was the best draw that the business has ever seen. When asked about the statement, Hulk Hogan argued that he was the best by stating that his career was twice as long as the one Austin had. This does not appear to be a promotional thing since the two of them will not be doing a match together.
August 15, 2014
Earlier in the month, Steve Austin made a comment about WWE being too scripted for his taste. While those comments would surely bring backstage heat on one of their mid card performers, it is being said that there is absolutely no heat towards Austin, as management knows that they might need him for business down the line.
July 28, 2014
"I disagree with scripting. I think the nature of a promo has to come from your heart and your guts and you have to mean everything that you're saying. Now is the perfect time to go back to that formula. You learn to sink or swim. And guys and gals will start to learn to swim again. That's what's going to make the product feel more organic, more spontaneous and more real." - Steve Austin talks about WWE being too scripted
July 7, 2014
During a recent podcast interview between Steve Austin and Vince Russo, the topic of the Montreal Screwjob came up. Russo gave specific details about what went down between Vince McMahon, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Austin then finished the discussion by stating that he had no prior knowledge of the incident going down, but that he thinks the decision by McMahon and Russo was the right one. The business had to be protected from Hart and Eric Bischoff.
July 3, 2014
During his latest podcast interview, Steve Austin interviewed Vince Russo, and the topic of Austin's early stint in WWE came up. Both revealed to fans that Vince McMahon was not a huge fan of Austin at the time. He also did not want Austin to talk whatsoever because McMahon felt that his microphone skills were not up to par. Russo, however, pushed to give Austin an opportunity to speak, and the legendary push ensued.
June 28, 2014
"Obviously this is going to be a big financial changer because you're not going to get all those buy rates. I've had a brief experience with the WWE Network. I signed up for it. I'm not a real gadget guy. I've had an iPad for damn near two years, but I hardly ever use it. I put the WWE Network on there, and I typed in certain matches, they didn't have certain things from NWA or WCW. So I've been going more to YouTube. I think they need a little bit more original content. I need to get on there more to familiarize myself with it. One of the things I've enjoyed is the old Garden stuff and from World Class (Championship Wrestling). I think it was smart to come out with the network. I think it's going to catch on more in the next two or three years, and that's when it will pay off." - Steve Austin shares his views on the WWE Network
June 27, 2014
When CM Punk decided to walk out on WWE, a lot of fans turned on him for that. However, he has had a couple of supporters, especially from those that know what it is like to be backstage in the company. Steve Austin has continuously defended Punk, citing his understanding of how difficult life can be backstage when you're not happy with the direction of the company.
June 11, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Jim Ross had to spend a night in the hospital, as the former WWE commentator had a bit of a health scare and his wife wanted to be safer than sorry. Ross revealed that a couple of people contacted him at the hospital to check up on him. Jerry Lawler and Steve Austin were two of them. The other was Vince McMahon, which was a little bit surprising as there have been rumors floating around for the last year that there is some backstage heat between the two.
June 10, 2014
Country music singer George Strait held his last concert ever this weekend in Dallas, and drew in an incredible amount of people to the show. Among the 105,000 fans at the concert were Undertaker, Michelle McCool and Steve Austin. No word yet on whether or not the former WWE stars were at the event together or just happen to be there at the same time.
June 9, 2014
A picture of Steve Austin at the CMT Awards. The former WWE star hung out with Dog the Bounty Hunter backstage.
June 5, 2014
An interesting conversation took place between Eric Bischoff and Steve Austin during a podcast recently. The topic was Bischoff firing Austin from WCW. Both men told their side of the story. Bischoff admitted that things were pretty unorganized backstage, and Austin stated that he would have fired himself as well if he were in charge of WCW.
May 12, 2014
"It's hard if you're quantifying raw numbers to say anyone was more popular at their zenith than Stone Cold Steve Austin. No one sold more merchandise, tickets or pay per view than Steve. The thing with Junkyard Dog was that he was the first African American number one baby face in a major territory. For black fans especially, he was such a groundbreaking force. There was a unique emotional relationship that JYD had with his audience. He gave a whole race their guy." - Jim Ross describes Junkyard Dog and his place in wrestling history
May 9, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Steve Austin, who revealed that he was visited by Eric Bischoff today. The two had a history of backstage heat towards one another because of how Bischoff treated Austin when the two of them were working in WCW together. It appears that the relationship has been mended.
May 6, 2014
A status update from Twitter by Steve Austin, where the former world heavyweight champion mocked the method in which Eric Bischoff fired him from WCW.
May 5, 2014
Despite doing a good job of generating interest from fans the last time around, Tough Enough was put on the shelves. Now, it appears that the reality television show is being brought back as part of the WWE Network. No word yet on the involvement of Steve Austin, but since he did such a great job last time, management should be quite interested in bringing him back again as the host.
May 1, 2014
Steve Austin recently interviewed Paul Heyman on his podcast show, and the two of them had an interesting discussion about TNA. Heyman states that when he was in negotiations with the company to take over as president, it was revealed to him that TNA was in major debt. The numbers were around $70 million to $90 million at some point in time.
April 25, 2014
On their official website, WWE produced a list of the greatest talkers in the history of the business. The top five consisted of Ric Flair, Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper and Steve Austin. The more interesting inclusion, though, is CM Punk, who is listed at #16. The company has not made much mention of him since he walked away a couple of months ago.
April 25, 2014
"Which one of these motherfuckers talked to god, and god said that same sex marriage was a no can do? Can you verify? Can you give me some 411 on that background? I've got some damn good friends that are gay. I'm absolutely for same sex marriage. I don't think that there is a god that says you cannot do this, you cannot do that. If two cats can't get married, but then a guy can go murder 14 people, molest 5 kids, then go to fucking prison and then accept god, he's going to let him into heaven. After the fact that he did all that shit? See, that's all horse shit to me. That don't jive with me." - Steve Austin on gay marriage
April 23, 2014
With so many of his peers, including JBL, Michael Cole, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho and Steve Austin, finding success doing shows online, Taz is following suit. The TNA commentator announced that he was going to debut his own online radio show soon. The format will basically be the former world heavyweight champion talking about the daily topics in professional wrestling.
April 22, 2014
Steve Austin recently did a podcast interview with Paul Heyman, and the two of them discussed the possibility of Austin returning for another match with WWE. Austin stated that he would entertain the idea if he were allowed to wrestle Brock Lesnar, as he feels that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion can give him the match quality that he wants.
April 19, 2014
Since the inception of his podcast show, Steve Austin has managed to interview some of the biggest names in professional wrestling, and he's looking to take it up a notch by interviewing the Undertaker next. The two WWE legends met up during Wrestlemania 30 weekend, and they discussed doing the interview when Austin is back in Texas in a couple of days.
April 10, 2014
"Shocked to hear of the Ultimate Warrior's death. I used to drive to the Sportatorium in Dallas to see him in WCCW. He had a damn good run. Rest in peace." - Steve Austin on the passing of the Ultimate Warrior
April 9, 2014
Considering how incredible the show was, WWE should not have any issues with coming up with Wrestlemania 30 highlights to show on Monday Night Raw this week. Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Rock, Daniel Bryan, Triple H, Batista, John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Big Show and Antonio Cesaro provided plenty of memorable Wrestlemania moments.
April 7, 2014
In an almost surreal scene, Wrestlemania 30 started off with Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin and the Rock standing together in the middle of a WWE ring. The three of them were each given time to address the audience before throwing out their respective catchphrases. Then, the Hogan, Austin and Rock all drank beers to the delight of the Wrestlemania crowd.
April 6, 2014
For a while there, people expected Jim Ross to not be on hand for the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony because the commentator himself stated that he had prior engagements. Apparently, he was able to cancel those plans after WWE officials invited him to attend the event. He even sat in the front row with Steve Austin.
April 6, 2014

April 6, 2014
"I could get more out of that guy than anybody else walking Planet Earth. He could have that ultimate 'Come to Jesus' meeting with me. Punk's been around for a long time and he's a smart guy, but he never stepped into a damn squared circle with the intensity of a guy like Stone Cold Steve Austin." - Steve Austin discusses potential match with CM Punk at Wrestlemania 31
April 5, 2014
The hot rumor heading into this weekend is that CM Punk will be at Wrestlemania 30. First, Steve Austin made the prediction that the former world heavyweight champion will be at the pay per view. Now, Diamond Dallas Page is doing the same in an interview with Wrestle Talk TV. Both Austin and DDP have connections backstage, so there might be some merit to their predictions on Punk.
April 4, 2014
At one point in time, he was rumored to be working a high profile match at this pay per view against CM Punk, but it looks like WWE will have to settle for just a cameo appearance by Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 30. The rumors are that some sort of agreement has been made, and Austin will be involved in some shape or form during the main show.
April 3, 2014
"I remember seeing Brock Lesnar the first time he walked into the doors of WWE. All the boys were gathered around eating dinner and Brock Lesnar walks in. He might as well could have had a bolt on each side of his neck, because he looked like just a monstrous Frankenstein of a human being. You don't see guys like Brock Lesnar walk around every single day of your life." - Steve Austin talks about meeting Brock Lesnar backstage for the first time
April 2, 2014
"I'm telling you, I'm going to stick to my prediction that CM Punk is going to make his return at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. I made this prediction two months ago here on the show. It's been a long time, I think he's cooled his jets, he's got some rest, and I think it's time to get back to work. I don't see him participating in a match but it would be great to see him in a run-in to establish himself, to entrench himself immediately in a memorable and just a great moment, and I would say plant himself firmly in the middle of an angle, because he would be the angle, by attacking whoever he sees fit to attack or asserting his presence rather, whatever the case may be. But I see CM Punk coming back at WrestleMania 30. Who knows if it will happen. We will know in about six short days when WrestleMania actually happens." - Steve Austin predicting that CM Punk will return this weekend
April 2, 2014
During an interview session with fans in Manchester, Bret Hart revealed that he has still has some backstage heat with Hulk Hogan. He cited an incident back in 1993, where Hogan refused to shake his hand while he was talking to Brutus Beefcake. Hart states that he and Steve Austin did the same thing back to Hogan much later on.
March 25, 2014
WWE has been trying to figure out a way to get Steve Austin involved at Wrestlemania 30, and they might have just found a potentially good way. There are talks that Austin could be chosen to induct Paul Bearer into the hall of fame. The two of them actually worked together in WCCW before becoming superstars in WWE for Vince McMahon.
March 17, 2014
Since the company was so focused on other wrestlers over the last couple of months, Steve Austin has not been a focal point for WWE heading into Wrestlemania 30, but there is now a change, as management wants to do a big merchandise push in the coming months. Despite not being there any more, Austin still remains as one of the top merchandise sellers for WWE.
March 13, 2014
During a recent interview, Buff Bagwell was asked about John Cena, and he stated that he could have been just as big as Cena had WWE given him the exact same push. He also noted that Cena was not as good as guys like Sting, Goldberg, Steve Austin and the Rock. Bagwell feels that Cena is simply at the right place at the right time.
March 10, 2014
During his podcast interview with Jim Ross, the topic of John Cena doing a heel turn was brought up with Steve Austin. The former WWE star was adamant that the move should not happen. Austin pointed out that his own heel turn was a disaster because it ruined his merchandise sales. He feels that the same would happen if Cena were to make the turn.
March 6, 2014
CM Punk was not the only former WWE star that attended the UFC event in Las Vegas over the weekend. Steve Austin was there as well. He has been frequently spotted at MMA shows, especially back when Brock Lesnar was still fighting. No word yet on whether or not Punk and Austin got together for a discussion that night.
February 24, 2014
During their podcast interview session, both Jim Ross and Steve Austin stated that WWE will eventually put the heavyweight championship on Daniel Bryan, as Vince McMahon is too smart not to see his popularity. However, Austin stated that the company might make the mistake of waiting too long and turning the moment into an anti climatic one.
February 22, 2014
During a podcast interview with Jim Ross, Steve Austin stated that he thinks CM Punk will be back in time for Wrestlemania 30. He advised the former world heavyweight champion to not make the same mistake he did by not finishing his contract. Austin stated that the breach of contract prevented him from collecting royalties, and he does not want Punk to make the same mistake.
February 21, 2014
While being interviewed by Larry King, John Cena was asked about who his dream opponent is, and he quickly stated that he would like to wrestle Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 31. There is speculations that Cena is planting the seeds for a potential match, as WWE has long been interested in the return of one of their greatest stars ever.
February 21, 2014
During the new Jim Ross podcast, Steve Austin revealed that while he was visiting backstage at Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles earlier this month, none of the officials in WWE approached him about making an appearance at Wrestlemania 30 in a couple of weeks. He might still be there at the pay per view, though.
February 20, 2014
During his interview with Jim Ross on his new podcast, Steve Austin talked about his own retirement from professional wrestling. He stated that he did not reveal it to the world at Wrestlemania 19 because it was not good for business. Vince McMahon asked him to keep it quiet because WWE was going public.
February 19, 2014
Jim Ross kicked off his new podcast series, and he had his good friend Steve Austin as the guest. The two longtime WWE stars discussed the Undertaker and his upcoming retirement. Ross and Austin agreed that his final match in the company should take place in his home state of Texas, and the opponent should be none other than John Cena at Wrestlemania.
February 19, 2014
"Well, I had that happen. Stone Cold did that and went home. And he regrets it to this very day. Because he just--you never get into a situation where--there's a couple of basics things here. One is that you don't want to get into a situation where it becomes easy for you as a professional or in private life to start breaking commitments. And a contract is a commitment. I think that the other thing is that you never get--you never save enough money nor can you live a starkness existence. The way you got all the money you're ever gonna need and you live good money laying behind. I personally don't believe in that. And I think a lot of the wrestlers over the years would say the same thing. So I'm not a fan of anybody in any walk of life exiting before it's time. But I also don't know all the information. This may have been a situation where Punk needed to take his leave and recharge his batteries a long time ago. I don't know. I haven't been there. And I have observed his privacy by not reaching out to him in several weeks." - Jim Ross compares the backstage heat incidents involving CM Punk and Steve Austin
February 15, 2014
"I was actually a bit pissed off that I had to be there, because I had just gotten back from Texas, I was out of shape, I hadn't really unpacked my bags from being at the ranch for two months. But I was so proud and happy that I went. Way back in the day when I started out in 1990, I would have never envisioned that the business would ever turn to this or someone would have the vision to do it. Vince McMahon was standing right in front of me, about two feet away, and I slapped him on the back two times and I said, 'That's impressive.' And I left that thing being extremely impressed with what WWE has come up with now." - Steve Austin discusses his appearance during the WWE Network announcement
