Rambo is getting a brand new video game

3 hrs.

Winda Benedetti

Thirty years after making his film debut,?Rambo ? yes, that Rambo ? is getting his own modern video game.

British game publisher Reef Entertainment has revealed the first screenshots for its forthcoming game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360?and PC. It's?called, well,?"Rambo: The Video Game" and it stars everyone's favorite troubled guerrilla warfare specialist.

A year ago, Reef announced that it?had aquired the?license?to make Rambo games?based on the movies?from?film company StudioCanal. But Reef hadn't?said spit about it since then. Then, on Friday, it?unveiled?the first screenshots as well as a?trailer for the game ??though the trailer is just footage from the movie. (See below.)

"We have been dedicated to creating a video?game for consoles and PC that will allow Rambo fans and gamers across the globe to really get under the skin of Rambo and wield his iconic weapon-set in battle," Reef Entertainment commercial director Craig Lewis?said in?a statement.

Reef didn't reveal many details about the game but announced it?would be playable at this year's GamesCom convention taking place in Germany starting next week. And Lewis promised, it "will capture the gritty atmosphere and full-on action which made the Rambo movies so successful."

It certainly?won't be the first "Rambo" game ever made. Way back in 1985, there was a "Rambo" game for the Commodore 64 based on "Rambo: First Blood Part II." And there were?"Rambo III" games for Sega's Genesis and Master System as well as an arcade game made in the late 1980s. But yeah, things have changed a bit since then:

AT&T agrees to acquire NextWave for $600 million, gobbles up ...

AT&T Agrees to Acquire NextWave Wireless, Inc.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AT&T* announced today that it has agreed to acquire NextWave Wireless, Inc. NextWave holds licenses in the Wireless Communication Services (WCS) and Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) bands.

WCS spectrum was first auctioned in 1997, but has not been utilized for mobile Internet usage due to technical rules designed to avoid possible interference to satellite radio users in adjacent spectrum bands.

In June, AT&T and Sirius XM filed a joint proposal with the FCC that would protect the adjacent satellite radio spectrum from interference and enable WCS spectrum - for the first time - to be used for mobile Internet service. This proposed solution on WCS spectrum, which is still under review by the FCC, effectively creates much-needed new spectrum capacity.

AT&T said the proposed WCS rule changes and NextWave acquisition represent an alternative approach to creating additional wireless network capacity to help support skyrocketing wireless data usage on smartphones and tablets. If approved, the proposal will enable AT&T to begin initial deployment of WCS spectrum for added 4G LTE capacity, in approximately three years.

Under the terms of the agreement, AT&T will acquire all the equity of NextWave for approximately $25 million plus a contingent payment of up to approximately $25 million and, through a separate agreement with NextWave's debtholders, all of the company's outstanding debt will be acquired by AT&T or retired by NextWave, for a total of $600 million in cash. The outstanding debt held by NextWave's bondholders will be satisfied through cash and a transfer of selected NextWave assets. NextWave's debtholders have agreed to the terms, and a majority of its shareholders have agreed to support the transaction.

The transaction is subject to review by the Federal Communications Commission and to other customary closing conditions. Additionally, NextWave's transfer of assets may be subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino review by the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice. AT&T anticipates closing the transaction by the end of 2012.

American Eagle raises 2nd-qtr profit forecast

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? American Eagle Outfitters Inc. on Wednesday raised its forecast for second-quarter earnings, saying that sales during the period were stronger than expected.

Shares of the teen retailer and mall fixture jumped $1.27, or 6.3 percent, to $21.60 in aftermarket trading after the update. They had fallen 49 cents, or 2.4 percent, to close the regular session at $20.33.

The company said it expected to report earnings of 19 cents to 21 cents per share, excluding special items. That's up from a previous forecast of 13 cents to 15 cents per share, and better than the 13 cents per share in adjusted earnings for the second quarter of 2011.

The latest estimate excludes charges related to the 77kids business and restructuring.

Analysts, on average, were expecting profit of 15 cents per share, with estimates ranging from 13 cents to 18 cents, according to FactSet.

American Eagle said revenue for the quarter ended July 31 rose 11 percent to $740 million, from $669 million a year ago. That's above the average analyst estimate of $714.6 million, and near the top of Wall Street's range of $682.8 million to $744.8 million.

Revenue at stores open at least a year rose 9 percent during the three-month period. That's a key indicator of underlying performance for retailers, because it excludes new stores.

CEO Robert Hanson said the company pulled back on promotions in the quarter and got higher traffic and transactions.

The company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings Aug. 22.

10 Tips For Building Self Esteem In Teenage Girls

Adolescence can be a turbulent time for young ladies and building self esteem in teenage girls can seem like a daunting task. However, there are several things that one can do to help young women see themselves in a better light. Here are 10 helpful suggestions for building self esteem in teenage girls.

Let them know that they do not have to compete with super models. If you watch television you would think that everyone is thin, pretty, and full of poise. In reality, the world is made of people with many imperfections. This is a good subject to discuss with your teen at any time.

Ask your teen questions instead of giving orders or suggestions. Your teen is going through some major changes. Some of these changes are physical and some are emotional. When you ask someone to do something you are showing respect for them as a person.

Try to find ways to treat teens as adults. Teens are not mature adults, but they are no longer little children either. One of the biggest complaints that young ladies have is their parents treat them as children. Maybe you can extend their curfew a bit or add other privileges. If you are interested in building self esteem in teenage girls, let them know that they are becoming young women.

Maybe your young lady has problems with acne or her weight. Personal appearance is extremely important at this age. Let her know that you are there to help in any way. Schedule a doctor appointment, as sometimes this can help. In any manner, your teen needs to know that she can call on you for anything at anytime.

Set a good example. Kids learn so much from watching their parents. If you think your teen has a problem with self esteem, she may have learned it from you. Think about how you conduct yourself around others. If you think that you have a low opinion of the person in your mirror, then maybe you should work on that first before helping your teen.

You cannot stop classmates from teasing your teenage girl. However, you can discuss the matter with her. If you think that your teen is being harassed it is important to do something about it. This kind of thing can wreak havoc with confidence at this age. Let your teen know that people with the most inner problems do the most teasing to draw attention away from themselves. This may not be the solution, but it may help her to understand others a little better. In any manner, take these matters seriously and seek out school officials if you must.

If you are thinking about building self esteem in teenage girls, encourage them to write a diary or journal. Let them know that no one else will be reading it, and it is vital to respect their privacy. When a girl sits and writes about her problems, it provides an outlet for many frustrations. It also gives her a chance to come back later and closely examine her thoughts, desires, fears, and private feelings.

Teach your teen the importance of confidence and not taking what others think too seriously. You cannot fix everything that is wrong with her. In fact, that is the last thing that she probably wants. She wants someone to love, care for, and understand her. She wants someone to be on her side no matter what. When building self esteem in teenage girls, this is something that you as a parent can do.

You may need to spend more time with your young lady. It does not have to cost a lot of money. Maybe you can walk together in the evenings. Walking is great exercise and it gives you the chance for some one on one conversation. Simply tell her that you need to start walking and you would like to have some company when you walk. Do not insinuate that the walking is for her benefit. Simply tell her that you need a walking buddy.

When building self esteem in teenage girls try learning something new with her. Maybe you want to study a foreign language or learn how to play chess. The time together can be very therapeutic for both of you.

Olivia Munn admits: 'I rip out my eyelashes'

By Us Weekly

In an interview with The New York Daily News, Olivia Munn admitted to suffering from an impulse control disorder known as trichotillomania.

"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," the 32-year-old actress explained. "It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes."

Munn -- who is currently dating "The Killing's" Joel Kinnaman, 32 -- also admits to having social anxiety disorder. "I don't think anyone would describe me as weak, but I don't want people to be mean to me," she said. "As an Air Force kid, I moved around a lot when I was younger and no one was nice to the new kid. So there is always this feeling that someone will make fun of me."

Though her career is hotter than ever, thanks to roles in "Magic Mike," HBO's "The Newsroom" and the upcoming flick ?"The Babymakers," Munn doesn't buy into her own hype. "I know how lucky I am, but I won't allow myself to get sucked in by all the talk. Talk is just for a moment," she said. "This career has to last for a long time."

"People tell me, 'Your work won't keep you warm at night,'" Munn told The New York Daily News. "But it does pay for my heat and my down comforter, so it technically does."

Boys' Impulsiveness May Add Up to Edge in Math

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Being more impulsive than girls may give boys an edge in math, according to a new study.

Researchers from the University of Missouri found boys and girls have different approaches to solving math problems when they start school. Boys often rely on their memory, while girls prefer to solve problems more carefully. Although the boys' approach may cause them to make more mistakes than girls early on, the researchers found they surpass girls later.

The observed difference in arithmetic accuracy between the sexes might stem from a "willingness to risk being wrong by answering from memory before one is sure of the correct answer," study co-author Drew Bailey, a recent Ph.D. recipient from the University of Missouri, explained in a university news release. "In our study, we found that boys were more likely to call out answers than girls, even though they were less accurate early in school. Over time, though, this practice at remembering answers may have allowed boys to surpass girls in accuracy."

In conducting the study, the researchers followed about 300 students from first grade through sixth grade. Boys in the first and second grade answered math problems quickly, often calling out answers from memory. Girls, on the other hand, preferred to take their time and calculate their answers. As a result, they responded more slowly to fewer questions.

The researchers noted that by solving problems more carefully, the girls made fewer mistakes than the boys. By the time the children reached sixth grade, however, the boys were not only answering more math questions, but also getting more answers correct.

"Developing mathematical skill may be part 'practice makes perfect' and part 'perfect makes practice,'" explained Bailey. "Attempting more answers from memory gives risk-takers more practice, which may eventually lead to improvements in accuracy. It also is possible that children who are skilled at certain strategies are more likely to use them and therefore acquire more practice."

The researchers said their findings could help parents and teachers guide individual students in math and improve their performance.

"Parents can give their children an advantage by making them comfortable with numbers and basic math before they start grade school, so that the children will have fewer trepidations about calling out answers," study co-author David Geary, a professor of psychological science at the University of Missouri, said in the news release. "As an adult, it seems easy to remember basic math facts, but in children's brains the networks are still forming. It could be that trying to answer a problem from memory engages those networks and improves them, even if the answers aren't correct at first. In time, the brain develops improved memories and more correct answers result."

The study, recently published online, appears in the September print issue of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.
