At the Milwaukee and Chicago area events, which correspond to the "release to market" of the System Center 2012 package, the presenters will provide an in-depth look at the new features of System Center 2012, which offers complete management from the datacenter to the desktop. Concurrency will share best practices from its experience planning and deploying System Center 2012 on a pre-release basis in regional multi-billion dollar companies.

Said Concurrency President James Savage, "We are particularly fortunate to have extensive on-the-ground experience with System Center 2012 in pre-release settings, and we look forward to sharing how powerful this new release really is. System Center 2012 is what a lot of forward-looking IT leaders have been waiting for, as a way to manage across platforms and gather data to generate insights to raise the strategic value of IT departments."
The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 3 at the Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield, WI.

Dynamic earth processes across time and space
2012-04-25
Boulder, Colo., USA – The dynamics of Earth are discussed in this new batch of GSA Bulletin papers posted online 6 April. Topics include the link between wildfire-flooding events and the supply of sand to beaches, with specific focus on a coastal California watershed; high-pressure metamorphism in the mountains of northwest China; generation of the Gold Hill shear zone and widespread tectonism in the Appalachian mountain belt; and the nature of magma-filled fractures (dikes) in the earth.

Vibrating steering wheel guides drivers while keeping their eyes on the road
2012-04-25
PITTSBURGH—A vibrating steering wheel is an effective way to keep a driver's eyes safely on the road by providing an additional means to convey directions from a car's navigation system, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and AT&T Labs have shown.
The study, one of the first to evaluate combinations of audio, visual and haptic feedback for route guidance, found that younger drivers in particular were less distracted by a navigation system's display screen when they received haptic feedback from the vibrating steering wheel.
For elder drivers, the haptic feedback ...
Physical abuse may raise risk of suicidal thoughts
2012-04-25
The study, published online this month in the journal Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, found that approximately one-third of adults who were physically abused in childhood had seriously considered taking their own life. These rates were five times higher than adults who were not physically abused in childhood. The findings suggest that children exposed to physical abuse may be at greater risk for suicidal behaviours in adulthood.
Investigators examined gender specific differences among a sample of 6,642 adults, of whom 7.7 per cent reported that they had been physically ...
In protein folding, internal friction may play a more significant role than previously thought
2012-04-25
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– An international team of researchers has reported a new understanding of a little-known process that happens in virtually every cell of our bodies.
Protein folding is the process by which not-yet folded chains of amino acids assume their specific shapes, hence taking on their specific functions. These functions vary widely: In the human body, proteins fold to become muscles, hormones, enzymes, and various other components.
"This protein folding process is still a big mystery," said UC Santa Barbara physicist Everett Lipman, one of several ...
Outpatient surgery patients also at risk for blood clots
2012-04-25
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – A University of Michigan Health System study examined who's having outpatient surgery in the U.S. today, and showed 1 in 84 highest-risk patients suffers a dangerous blood clot after surgery.
Hospitalized patients are often warned of the possibility of venous thromboembolism, which include blood clots that can form in the veins and travel to the lungs.
However these warnings have not necessarily been extended to the outpatient surgery population, says U-M surgeon and lead study author Christopher J. Pannucci, M.D.
With more than 60 percent of procedures ...
Blood transfusions still overused and may do more harm than good in some patients
2012-04-25
Citing the lack of clear guidelines for ordering blood transfusions during surgery, Johns Hopkins researchers say a new study confirms there is still wide variation in the use of transfusions and frequent use of transfused blood in patients who don't need it.
The resulting overuse of blood is problematic, the researchers say, because blood is a scarce and expensive resource and because recent studies have shown that surgical patients do no better, and may do worse, if given transfusions prematurely or unnecessarily. "Transfusion is not as safe as people think," says Steven ...
Kinder Houston Area Survey reveals more Houstonians support mass transit
2012-04-25
One of America's most automobile-dependent large cities may be heading into a new era, according to the 31st annual Kinder Houston Area Survey conducted by Rice University. Among the findings in this year's survey: Houstonians support mass transit, feel better about the economy and say relations between ethnic groups are better than ever.
The survey results were released today at a luncheon hosted by the Greater Houston Partnership and Rice's Kinder Institute for Urban Research.

No Holidays or Day Trips for Cash-Strapped Scots as Mortgage Rates Set to Rise, Says Sequestration Scotland
2012-04-25
A recent report from Scottish Widows revealed that for 47% of Scots a holiday is an unaffordable luxury, while a day out with children is an impossibility for 45%, but any homeowners in the survey that are on variable rate deals with Halifax or RBS could expect to have even less money after the announcement of a rate hike on May 1st.
While millions of Scots struggle to make ends meet, two of the biggest mortgage providers have plunged a million of their customers into uncertainty over their financial futures. RBS will raise their rates 0.25% to 4% while Halifax will ...
New microdevice enables culture of circulating tumor cells for cancer diagnosis, treatment
2012-04-25
A research collaboration between the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and Children's Hospital Boston has created a microfluidic device that can harvest rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood to enable their expansion in culture for analysis. These cells, which have detached from a primary cancer site and often create a secondary—or metastasized—tumor, hold an extraordinary amount of information regarding patient-specific drug sensitivity, cancer progression, and patient response to therapy. Such information could help clinicians ...
Pistachio consumption may promote a beneficial gut environment
2012-04-25
SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2012—A preliminary 16-person study suggests that eating pistachios may help alter levels of potentially beneficial bacteria in the gut, a finding that holds promise for supporting digestive health(1). The research, presented as an abstract this week at the Experimental Biology conference, is the first study of pistachios and almonds and their modulating role on the gut microbiota composition.
"Gut microbiota, or the microbial environment in the gastrointestinal tract, provides important functions to the human host," said Volker Mai, PhD, lead study ...
