CHICAGO (CBS) '� The American Beverage Institute warns dropping the legal blood alcohol limit to .05 will backfire by devastating the restaurant industry, actually reducing public safety, and do nothing to attack the core of the drunk driving problem. Restaurant Association Opposes Dropping Legal Blood Alcohol Limit WBBM Newsradio's John Cody Sara Longwell, Managing Director of the American Beverage Institute says the NTSB simply got it wrong. 'We have got to figure out how to target hardcore drunk drivers and the NTSB is failing to do that with this recommendation. When you take your scarce police resources and you focus them on moderate, responsible social drinkers instead of that hardcore population, you weaken the police officers ability to go after hardcore drunk drivers,' said Longwell. And suburban attorney and DUI specialist Don Ramsell says he's handled handled 14,000 DUIs since 1984 and has never once encountered a drunk driving fatality involvin...

Ubisoft Email Print Share Facebook Tumblr LinkedIn StumbleUpon Reddit Digg Mixx Delicious Google+ As a general rule, once I've finished playing a video game, that's it. No more. Don't bother selling me new missions, extra multiplayer maps or additional guns. By the time I've sunk 15 or 20 hours into a game, I'm ready to move on. But then came Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a $15 extension to last year's fun-but-stupid first-person shooter. Downloadable content, or DLC* in gamer jargon, had suddenly piqued my interest. Blood Dragon isn't a typical add-on. It's a departure from the source material, trading hostile natives for cyber-soldiers, and island shanties for metal-clad compounds. Like Far Cry 3, the game is set on an island, but now it's covered in neon pinks and blues, with red and green laser lights beaming up into a stormy sky. You start the game, and synthesizers start blaring. Ubisoft Blood Dragon is a throwback the testosterone-driven ...

BLOOMINGTON '� High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition in which the force of the blood against artery walls is high enough that it could cause health problems. The more blood that is pumped and the narrower the arteries, the higher the blood pressure. High blood pressure can lead to life-threatening complications, including stroke and heart attack, said Dr. Nilesh Goswami, interventional cardiologist with Prairie Cardiovascular Consultants in Springfield. 'This is a very prevalent problem in the United States,' Goswami said. About 30 percent of Americans have high blood pressure and about 10 percent have resistant hypertension, meaning they have high blood pressure that isn't controlled with medicine. For those people, any type of nonmedicine treatment could prove valuable. But non-medicine treatment could be valuable even to people whose high blood pressure may be controlled with multiple medicines because some people don't take their medicin...

A simple blood test might be able to reveal whether a child has autism, according to researchers who recently launched a study to evaluate such a test. The study, which began this week and involves 660 participants at 20 facilities around the United States, will examine whether the test can accurately distinguish between�children who have autism�and children who have other developmental delays, the researchers said.

"If a blood test could indicate ASD risk, it would help families and physicians know when to refer children to an ASD expert, potentially leading to earlier treatment and better outcomes,...
