To no one’s surprise, EA is set to release the next installment in the Need for Speed franchise later this year in the form of Need for Speed: Undercover. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said that the title is in development from one of EA Vancouver’s two NFS teams. He also hinted that its inspiration comes from movies like The Transporter, though we’ll have to wait and see what he means by that.
The single previous Need for Speed team was split into two last year to allow each of the two teams more time to create yearly updates for the franchise. Rather than giving one team only 12 months to create the next installment, each team would now have a full two years, with the teams trading release years, obviously. Being that the team was only split last year, the Undercover team will only have a little over 16 months to create the title, but the extra breathing room must certainly welcome in any case.
In the interview, Riccitiello also discussed his disappointment with last year’s Need for Speed ProStreet, and said that the reason for splitting the team into to two was to help insure that future titles would actually be a worthy experience.
No consoles were specified for Undercover, but given the franchise’s history, we’d expect to see it hit every major system.
Whether a painless, portable device that uses electrical current rather than X-ray to look for breast cancer could be an alternative to traditional mammograms is under study at the Medical College of Georgia.
“Normal breast tissue is very dense, especially in younger women, and can hide tumors,” Dr. Craft says. “While we’ve known for a while that water flows more freely through cancerous cells, we also know that electrical current flows easier through cancerous and tumor tissue.”
The Z-Tech scan works by placing a flower-shaped grouping of electrodes over each breast and sending a small, painless amount of electricity through them. Unlike traditional mammography, the scan does not involve breast compression or radiation.
“It’s like doing an EKG of the breast,” Dr. Craft says.
A computer immediately calculates and presents a report based on the electrical signature of the breast tissue. Rather than waiting on breast image from a traditional mammogram, the computer immediately notes whether the scan is positive or negative for cancer.
However, for study purposes, neither Dr. Craft nor the patient will know the results. Patients must undergo a mammogram within 90 days, which Dr. Craft interprets. Z-Tech compares those results to the electrical study.
The hope is that the new test – called HEDA for Homologous Electrical Difference Analysis – will provide an alternative to mammograms. While Dr. Craft believes that having this test should help find more cancers, he doesn’t think it will replace traditional mammography.
“This method doesn’t use radiation, is portable and there is no pain associated with the squeezing that mammograms require,” he says. “I can see it being used as an additional test. I don’t think it will replace mammography, but it could increase our chances of catching breast cancer.”
The second phase of the Z-Tech trial is open to women age 40-50 having routine mammograms as well as those who have a suspicious lump scheduled for biopsy.
Mesothelioma is a serious, life threatening cancer that has a low survival rate and can be quite painful. It is also one of many cancers that show no
outwards sighs until the disease is well progressed and irreversible. What causes this horrendous disease? Asbestos. If you or a beloved family
member has been exposed in any way to asbestos, then you must get a mesothelioma diagnosis as soon as possible. The cancer, which eats at the
lining that covers the organs (mesothelium) and is usually found in the chest area or pelvic regions, usually shows no symptoms until it is much too
late to do anything about it. Early mesothelioma diagnosis is critical to adding years to your life. Sadly once one develops mesothelioma, there is no
cure, however, medical science can give you the precious time you otherwise would not have if you catch the disease in its beginning stages. A
mesothelioma diagnosis is crucial to achieving that goal. If you have seen a qualified physician and obtained a recent mesothelioma diagnosis, you
should hire an experienced mesothelioma attorney to fight for you and your family’s rights. Dealing with any cancer can be time consumptive and
financially draining. As you try getting your health back on track, your savings and monetary reserves can and will get depleted. Meanwhile, the very
people who caused your issues could be literally getting away with murder. Most companies that used asbestos, which has the primary carcinogenic
agent that causes mesothelioma cancer, knew about the potential health risks. This makes them criminally liable and to open to lawsuit. Your
mesothelioma attorney will go over your case with you, educating you on what your rights are under the law. The company lawyers will try to bully
you if you go it alone, offering a settlement that will barely pay for the costs of your very important tests. They will also try to mislead you, making you
believe that you really don’t have a case, when the very opposite is true. Your mesothelioma attorney knows the laws and can make them play fair. A
mesothelioma diagnosis can have a devastating impact on your life. Great representation can mean the difference between a few hundred dollars and
millions. Don’t let you or you family get shortchanged! Hire a competent mesothelioma attorney and protect you and your family’s future. They may
give up hope and feel that they should just be allowed to die so that they do not burden anyone. However, there are treatments available for
mesothelioma symptoms, and while the quality of life might be somewhat diminished, there is still hope for these individuals to enjoy the time that they
have left. In addition, some of these individuals are younger - they were the children of those that worked with asbestos, and they picked up the
disease from exposure to their parent, who often feels guilty. A mesothelioma diagnosis is not the victim’s fault, and a good mesothelioma attorney can
ensure that he or she sees that as the truth. In addition, they can work with family and friends to help them through the difficulties that a lawsuit might
present. When a mesothelioma attorney is located and the victim feels comfortable with that person, it is usually a good indication that he or she has
found the ‘best’ lawyer for the case. Experience and education are important, of course, but the skills and abilities that a person has are not always
evidenced by the education that he or she has gotten, or how many cases that individual has worked on, so an individual with should choose an
attorney that seems like the best fit for the case.
