What is already known about this subject
- • Excess fat mass (FM) is believed to be a primary cause of the health risks (e.g. cardiovascular, metabolic) associated with obesity
- • Dual X-ray absorptiometry and air-displacement plethysmography are frequently used in clinical research and practice to measure body composition changes.
- • There is no accepted single tool for measurement of obesity and change in FM that provides a sufficiently accurate and precise estimate.
What this study adds
- • The demonstrated accuracy of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) supports its use as an indirect method for monitoring fat mass (FM) changes associated with clinical interventions for obesity.
- • DXA is significantly more accurate when compared to air-displacement plethysmography in recognizing small changes in FM.
The study aims to compare the accuracy of body composition measurements to small, defined changes in fat mass (FM) between dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and air-displacement plethysmography (ADP). Fifty-six healthy adults, 29 women and 27 men (age, 38 ± 12.4 years; body mass index, 27.6 ± 5.8 kg m−2) were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were pregnancy, indwelling metal hardware or pacemakers, or weight exceeding DXA table limit (>350 lb). All individual testing was completed within a 2-h period. Fat packets were prepared using lard wrapped in plastic and applied exogenously in defined locations. Each participant completed body composition measurements with ADP and DXA (both testing modalities completed with and without 1 kg of exogenously applied FM). Both DXA and ADP were highly accurate in detecting an overall increase in body mass associated with exogenously applied 1 kg of FM (0.99 kg vs. 0.97 kg, respectively). DXA more accurately detected exogenous fat increase as FM compared to ADP (0.93 kg; 90% CI for the mean of the difference: 0.83 to 1.03 kg vs. 0.45 kg; 90% CI: 0.19 to 0.71 kg, respectively). The accuracy of body mass detection was similar for males and females (0.97 vs. 1.02 for DXA and 0.92 vs. 1.02 for ADP, respectively), though accuracy in detecting added mass as fat was less accurate in males than females (0.84 vs. 1.00 for DXA and 0.39 vs. 0.51 for ADP, respectively). Both DXA and ADP are accurate in detecting an overall increase in body mass associated with exogenously applied 1 kg of FM. However, DXA is more accurate than ADP in correctly identifying the increase in body mass as FM, as opposed to fat-free mass.

I ordered this just recently, and the results are extremely beneficial for my skin type. Some of us genetically produce a lot of keratin in our cells and it just refuses to surface on its own. Then there are the pore-clogging foundations, etc. And then there are hormones...on it goes. I have invested countless dollars in cleansers, scrubs, lotions, otc medications, and the dermatologist. Sure, these things have helped, but not enough.
This gadget in two uses did more for me than any scrub or cleanser I've ever owned. I use Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash (in the pump) which is soapless and perfect for my skin type. The one I ordered from QVC came with 3 brush heads and two cleansers. The Clarisonic seems to also tone the skin to make it plumper (imo), no doubt due to increased circulation. I wash most of my makeup off the regular way first, and then use the Clarisonic; this will give you excellent cleansing action. I believe the sonic technology which vibrates at 300x per second must really rev things up in there and enhance cell turnover; it seems to also normalize oil output. My skin has cleared up immensely, and when I do get a zit, it will resolve within 24 hours. I am using more of my moisturizer, Clinique DDM-gel.
I started with the delicate (blue) brush to condition my skin to its use *used that for about a week. Then I worked my way up to the sensitive brush (white) and I am seeing an increase in positive results. (There is even a gray brush for normal or body use). The serums and moisturizers will soak into the skin after using this (it's true). If you use Differin or glycolics, you should see even more dramatic improvement - but use common sense and don't over stimulate your skin.
I invested in this product and will not be without it from now on.
>>>UPDATE: using the gray/regular brush now and seeing even better improvement in tone and clarity.
>>>FYI: almost everyone has microscopic mites in our pores and sebaceous glands, if you do some searches on Demodex folliculorum or Demodex brevis you can find info and pics online - gee thanks science! lol

I can't believe how wonderful this product is! I purchased it (on QVC) and began using it the night before Thanksgiving (11/26). I had oily skin most of my life and large pores (skin is drying somewhat with age). The reduction in pore size was noticeable within a week. Now, by midday when the nose starts to get shiny (and that's usually when pores look HUGE), my face looks totally smooth. I have also noticed that I need to use less moisturizers, serums, etc. because my skin is cleaner and more receptive. I LOVE this product! The only drawback is the price -- actually, if it lasts, the unit itself is not so bad; however, the brushes are $25 each and need to be replaced every 90 days.

I purchased this for myself about a week ago, and I'm already in love with it. I am 25 years old, with combination (oily nose, acne prone, and prone to get dry patches in the winter) skin, and as of right now, one week after starting use, I have perfect skin. No dry patches, not even one pimple, and my makeup goes on perfectly. Up close, it looks like I have no pores. I noticed that I don't get as oily, either, throughout the day. In the first 2 days of use, I did notice 2 very tiny whiteheads pop up, then were gone as quickly as they appeared. The quality of the Sonicare brush is really good, you can tell that it's well-made. I use Paula's Choice BHA Lotion 2% after I wash my face and it sinks right in, along with my moisturizer. I am so thankful that I went ahead and purchased this, at first I thought I was crazy to spend so much, then I found the code for Skincarerx.com and took the plunge. I also bought one for my mother (55), and she loves it just as much as I do. I would recommend this to anyone, at least try it. If you don't like it, you can return it.. but I don't think you will. My skin has NEVER looked (or felt) this good.
Also: I am not new to exfoliation, as one of the newer reviewers wondered. I have always properly exfoliated, and have used products from the store to ones from the derm. I have only gotten compliments on my skin since using the Clarisonic.

I've read the reviews and wanted to buy one, but the price is just a little much don't you think? Then I saw that QVC has it available on four easy payments, and they have the very best return policy. If you don't like an item, return it within thirty days.
So, I ordered one. I am sixty years old, and have consistantly been mistaken (to my delight) for someone in her forties. But in the past few months I've noticed little brown pigment spots and increased incidents of millia (sp?) appearing. Resistant little irritants and hard to get rid of.
In less than one week of using the Clairsonic I was able to easily extricate the hard white millia. The brown spots? Definately lighter.
My left cheekbone had developed hard little bumps that no amount of cleaning, exfoliating or firm rubbing with Philosophys Micro-Dermabrasion Scrub could eliminate. Within two days of twice daily usage, the bumps were gone. Overall pores are clean, clean, clean!
After cleansing, the skin just seems to slurp up skin treatment serums to much better effect.
My mother (southern belle type with gorgeous skin at 78) asked if I was doing something different because my skin was so "luminous". Guess what she's going to get for Valentine's Day!!
Yes, it's pricey, but factoring in microdermabrasion treatments at my estheticians, facials and how much better skin serums work, this will pay for itself quite quickly.

I've heard about it, read about it...but I didn't "get it" until Santa got it for me, and, as it turns out, I really love it! Even on my sensitive, rosacea prone, ultra dry, mature skin, the results are quite incredible! Clarisonic is really fast and easy to use, convenient to clean and store and works well with all of my (many, many) cleansers. My face feels absolutely amazing after using this (with the sensitive head)... baby soft and totally smooth with zero irritation (and I get redness and itchy bumps from just about every scrub and peel out there, including salon treatments). At age 60, trying to be "buff" is pretty far fetched, but having a "buff" face is awesome!

I bought this based on the hype and also based on the fact that the Sonicare toothbrush was absolutely the best beauty tool purchase I've ever made. I figured, why not apply the same principal to cleanse my face? Well, to put it simply, my face didn't like this AT ALL. Even after lots of experimentation w/ the brush heads, settings and frequency, using the Delicate brush head at the one-minute setting only 1-2x a week still made my skin develop rough, bumpy patches that would go away as soon as I stopped using the Clarisonic. I really could kick myself since my skincare routine was working just fine for me, but I had to go and try and make it better. To sum up this review: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Lesson learned, I'm sending it back. Anyway, I wouldn't call buying this a complete waste of money since at least I know now to stay away instead of pining for it. I'd just suggest buying it from a retailer w/ a good return policy, possibly one w/ free return shipping (I think you know who I'm talking about).

It took me a long time to cough up the $200 on this machine. I am so glad I finally did! I have acne-prone, oily skin, and this little brush cleared up all the congestion. Due to my problematic skin, I hardly leave the house without a full face of makeup on. I used to think I did it all - makeup remover, washing my face twice, using a scrub occasionally, toner, lotion, etc. I used this brush, and the bristles were beige after my cleansing! Obviously, I was not getting everything out of my pores. 2 weeks later, my skin has a noticeable glow to it, and is becoming smoother and more even! Breakouts are lessening, as it seems to shake everything out of those pores! Any zits that do appear are smaller, and heal faster. It is REALLY gentle to the face, and I use it usually twice a day (in the morning and at night) with Murad's AHA/BHA Cleanser or Murad's Clarifying Gel Cleanser. Brushes are somewhat expensive, but they only need to be replaced every 3 months and less than $10 a month is well worth it for the most wonderful skin you'll ever have. Trust me, you will love this!
ADVICE: If you register your brush online, they send you a new brush head for free!

I have sensitive acne-prone skin and used this for about 9 months and never saw any difference. At 9 months it just stopped working. Could not be repaired. Not worth it imo.
I am updating. I re-purchased and have been using for a couple of months. I definitely see a difference in my skin with clearer pores and less breakouts. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they have improved the quality and that it lasts this time.

This is the first time I've written a review on a product, but this is an investment in your skin at a hefty price of $200 or thereabouts, so I decided to add to the reviews.
I waited a long time to give in to this lemming! My skin is mature, but very prone to clogs. I have obvious pores that I've hated my whole adult life. I've spent hundreds of dollars on skincare, so I finally broke down and got myself this tool.
I have not been disappointed. NO OTHER treatment has made the difference that this has to my skin. My pores are looking so much more refined, and oddly, I'm not as oily, but more normal. Of course, it's winter so I'm getting the effects of the cold weather too.
It is a pleasure to use, really wakes up my skin. My cheeks even looks rosier! I got some sample Clarisonic cleansers, but I use my regular cleansers, and have had NO irritation or problems since I started. It has only been a few weeks, can't wait to review how I feel after six months!
I don't know what differences you would see if you have clear poreless skin, but if you have any blemishes, pores, blackheads, acne, IMO, you may want to give this little machine a try. I believe my treatments are becoming more effective, since my skin is cleaner and no build up of dead skin cells (sorry!).
There is a sensitive skin head and a lower speed for the delicate skin types. My skin is not sensitive, so I really can't speak for how it would work for you, other than I can see how much gentler the low speed is.
Unlike some, I didn't get an extra head with my purchase, so shop around, there are some deals to be had out there. The new heads are expensive too, $25, and they rec you change it every 2-3 months.
Overall, so far, I really recommend this product, even at this price. I've spent far more on products that have not touched my skin issues.
AFter Six MONths: I still LOVE this product, and the good news is I rarely use it more than twice a week. I don't need to! My instinct tells me if you are sensitive or dry skinned, this is not for you, but if you are congested and clogprone, it could be very helpful.

Does the slash make any difference?
Is there any difference between a directory name such as
I noticed this happens when I execute ls in some directories - some of the directory names have a slash and some don't. This is problematic because if I want to access a file contained in a directory, I may need to add a slash at the end:
vi $mydirectory"/"$myfile
or simply do
vi $mydirectory$myfile
To search a file in a directory, I found two commands as below:
ls -ltr initialfilename*
find ./ -name initialfilename*
Sometime, first command gives me the search result but sometime I used to execute second command.
What is the difference between these two set of Linux command? Please specify your answer around the major difference only.

Mourning the Cactolith
Linguists estimate that there are roughly 3,000 words in the English language that are in common, everyday use. In contrast, my copy of the 1974 edition of the American Geological Institute's (AGI) Glossary of Geology has about 33,000 entries, and that number has risen to nearly 40,000 in the latest (2011) edition. Is that too many?

The Hill
Former White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said Congress' inability to pass legislation that would better define agencies' cybersecurity roles should not be a serious problem, despite a tug of war over who is in charge.
"I think the [cybersecurity] executive order has clarified some of those leadership issues," Schmidt said, noting that it is generally agreed that the Department of Homeland Security supports the private sector when it comes to critical infrastructure; the Defense Department and the National Security Agency work with the defense industrial base and defense entities, including some parts of the intelligence community; and the FBI handles law enforcement and counterintelligence.
Is there a cybersecurity workforce crisis?
In terms of legislation, the House has passed a bill aimed at lowering the barriers for sharing information between the private sector and the government, but a broader Senate bill has gone nowhere.
Schmidt said he believes agencies can get along fine without Congress delineating their cybersecurity responsibilities.
"By all accounts, there's a consensus that the role in domestic things is clear: If somebody hacks into a power company [and] disrupts the electrical flow, the FBI would take the lead on the criminal aspect of that unless it's a nation-state...and then the rules are different," he said. "We see more debate than is necessary on this. Let's solve the problem of who gets to worry about their side of the ledger because it's pretty clear."

You've told me no tales, and I've told you no lies
And yet I am the one that still sits here, and cries
Marking the time as the future is stumbling
I despair once again at my life now crumbling
Sorrow runs deep and my tears will stain far
I beg for an answer to the who that we are
Shifting and aimless, with no hope I can keep
I bang against this wall, unbreakable and steep
The scars from the tears, my face they do mar
Cracks in my sanity mark a door standing ajar
Broken and bent, through these shadows I'll creep
The words that you spoke made a rift that's too deep
I can think of your smile, and a part of me sighs
But as soon as my joy is beginning, it dies
What now haunts me, your face it is wearing
For you have becme the crux of my despairing

Night had fallen across the sands, and her footsteps were growing slower by the moment.
Still, she trod onward, the goal of her heart ever-present, an entity of its own within her spirit. She knew it lay not far ahead now; her week-long journey was nearly complete.
Does it await me, still, she asked herself, and, expecting no answer, recieved none. She knew she would find out soon the truth of the matter. For good or ill, she was in it until the end, and was glad of it.
An endless eternity, it seemed, had passed since her feet had last traced their way here. The winds had been blowing that time; though they were calm at the moment, she knew they could start again at any given time. This barren waste knew no rules but its own, and those it followed only grudgingly.
Days upon days, time upon time... passing slowly while the air she breathed became blighted with the desire she knew would be coming. The need she would

I can't tell. I don't want to. My dreams are chapters of the book of my life, they're the red ribbon on the edge of the next page. Never managed to do much reading with my eyes open. Why, God why, would anyone want to live in something as shallow as reality?
Being awake is torture. It's a red car flashing over the gray asphalt, it's the fast lane with me behind the wheel - pointless and fatal. I never got my license, you know. And for good reason; I don't want to control things. I don't need any kind of control, all I need pure fr

Why do I love,
Your vacant eyes,
Which give nothing away?
I search to find,
Your smooth disguise,
But nothing will they say.
Why do I love,
Your deadly kiss,
With touch so pale and chilled?
It lingers on,
My trembling lips,
Until my senses are stilled.
Why do I love,
Your vampiric bite,
The drunken blissful pain?
The two new scars,
They tell the tale,
Of when my heart was drained.
Why do I love,
Your childish lusts,
Deranged with my appeal?
In touching me,
It sets you free,
I make your world surreal.
But most of all,
I love the voice,
That tells me stay away.
The warning that,
I do not heed,
Makes me the willing prey.

Nyota Uhura gave a heavy sigh as she slipped into her quarters one evening. It had been a rather short shift but her wandering mind had made it seem like an eternity. There were plenty of important things on her mind, none of which had anything to do with her work. Now she wanted to get back to her quarters and get comfortable, but more than that she hoped that Spock was waiting for her. Recently he'd made a habit of being there when she arrived. That is, of course, if he wasn't on shift himself.
Tonight she knew for a fact that he wasn't and that made her hope all the more. She reached up, tugging her long, dark tresses free of their confines. The dark-skinned woman shook her head and the black locks spilled easily over her shoulders. It was like an ease of tension as soon as the pressure was relieved and her hair was free.

Could be forever frozen
The leaf fall stilled
In midair freefall
Early frosts bade to spare
The bounty heavy laden
Fixed upon the apple trees
As seasons turn and turn again
Yet there is to be no cessation
Of the trickling stream of sand
Flowing forward endlessly
Taking all that I have ever known
Reshaping and unstitching
Every dream I ever had
Each fragment passing beyond my reach
A realisation that this too shall pass
But nothing could inspire me more
For until the earth stops
Whirling around our flaming sun
In an ever expanding universe
My passion and fervour for truth
Keeps my focus on the day
And when a veil is drawn
Upon the stage of life
With a firm willed smiling end
This film will fade to close.

Everything You Need to Know about the Dallas Symphony's Just-Announced 2014-2015 Season
On Sunday night, at a celebratory event for orchestra subscribers at the Meyerson symphony center, the Dallas Symphony announced its 2014/2015 classical and pops lineup. The good news? More concerts and more new music on the programs. Here are the highlights:
More Classical Concerts In May 2015, the orchestra will launch its inaugural Soluna: International Music and Arts Festival, increasing the overall number of classical subscription concerts from 16 to 18. This year's festival theme, Destination: America, celebrates the contributions of American immigrant composers. Additionally, the orchestra announced that it is expanding its still-new ReMix series from two concerts this season, to three next season, one of which will coincide with the Soluna festival. The orchestra will also present three organ recitals next season, featuring the hall's incredible and underused instrument and three renowned guest soloists. This series will be called Opus 100. When you add it all up, that's 24 classical concerts in total, a jump from this season.
An Artist-In-Residence You may remember Conrad Tao's name from last November. He is the 19-year-old composer the DSO commissioned to write a piece in honor of the anniversary of Kennedy's assassination. He's also a fantastic pianist and, starting this fall, will serve a two-year term as the orchestra's artist-in-residence, a position not currently held by anyone.
More New Music and New-To-You Music In addition to a standard repertoire that includes music by Mahler (his 9th and 3rd symphonies presented as part of a continuing cycle), Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Brahms, the orchestra announced a promising number of newer works on next year's agenda. In September, Mason Bates' Liquid Interface, a piece that incorporates technology as well as acoustic instruments, will have its Dallas premier. Local high school student Chase Dobson will hear the DSO premier of his Piano Concerto No. 1 in March, and later in the season the orchestra will give the Dallas premier of Christopher Rouse's Iscariot and the U.S. premier of Wolfgang Rihm's Triple Concerto.
Also of note: Hillary Hahn returns this fall to perform Beethoven. Pianists Emanuel Ax, Yefim Bronfman, Lucille Chung, Stephen Hough and Daniil Trifonov will also solo.

League510 is excited to give fans a brand new track with "Remotely In Love," a song to be featured on their upcoming project.The song, produced by League 510 member TK along with additional instrumentation from Malki Means King, was interestingly inspired by television. "The imagery of lovers watching TV and channel surfing while hugged up on the couch crept into our minds," says TK, "so we decided to put a spin on the word 'remotely' as if we were referring to a TV remote." This is evident through the clever use of wordplay, intertwining television show titles from Happy Days to Family Guy into the lyrics during the verses, and also during the chorus where they sing, "I'm remotely in love with you/ I'm trying to click with you/ Can I get a view."The League510's newest project, LoveMeSoSlowlyTenderKnockingCupcakingMusic will be available on Valentines day.Listen to "Remotely In Love" here: http://soundcloud.com/league510/league510-remotely-in-love .

|Reviews for Naruto: The New Story
| Korog the Oversoul chapter 3 . 9/15
You F-ing tease! Not cool on the Mei and Yugito thing being a dream. Also why didn't Naruto use Senbonzakura more?
| Korog the Oversoul chapter 2 . 9/15
Mei Terumi. And Naruto got CRAed anyway, love it add Anko, Tayuya, and Temari and I would love to be him. But Kasha was pretty weird about Kurenai and Ino.
| narmulti chapter 7 . 5/26
Good story keep it up and UPDATE SOON
| Amaterasu1991 chapter 2 . 10/9/2013
Mei Terumi
| killer4853 chapter 7 . 5/14/2013
plez update
| Angel wolf11021 chapter 7 . 2/12/2013
write more soon this is a really good story.
| Shisarakage chapter 7 . 1/6/2013
Aside from the awesomeness that is the comedic side to this story (which I find VERY entertaining), I recognize all three S-Rank jutsu listed here.
First, the 'Slicing Dragon Twister'. That just screams 'Inuyasha influence' to me, as the name of the attack used by Inuyasha in "Swords of an Honorable Ruler" was 'Dragon Twister', if memory serves, and was unleashed thanks to Soun'ga (the third sword, brother to Tessaiga and Tenseiga).
Then there's 'Explosive Bite of the Water Dragon' and 'Twin Lightning Shiver', both of which I recognize instantly from "Naruto Shippuden - Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations". However, I'd like to point out that (thanks to my own love of the technique and the fact I play with the Japanese audio more often than not) the Japanese name for the 'Twin Lightning Shiver' is "Raiton - Souraishin". I know that one by heart because I spammed it until I'd memorized the damn thing.
Unfortunately, my mind isn't picking up the Japanese name for the 'Explosive Bite of the Water Dragon' as easily.
Anyways, I like the idea of an Aburame bug-zapper, and Kakashi's gonna be beyond jealous if he ever witnesses Shino-San using the 'Souraishin'.
That said, keep up the great work.
-Shodaime Shisarakage-
| dragon master chapter 1 . 12/10/2012
his name is kakashi not kasha
| tennyo godde chapter 7 . 11/28/2012
Im so hooked on this story when is the next chapter coming out please let it be soon
| Guest chapter 1 . 9/24/2012
Well this is a special pile of steaming shit
| Naruto Fan chapter 7 . 9/21/2012
Your story concept is intriguing but your way of writing and remembrance of past actions is confusing to say the least. It's hard to follow on the Kakashi plot,Sasuke plot basically the whole story plot as there are plenty of contradictions. Case in point in one of the early chapters you apparently punish Kakashi buy demoting him but later on he is the same rank before the demotion with no explanation. You really need to recheck your story from start to recent as it seems to be getting worse actually rather then better.
| KingLoitl chapter 2 . 6/30/2012
Mei Terumi is her name
| puma1sunfire chapter 6 . 3/4/2012
I really enjoyed reading this story! I look forward to its continuation.
| WrathOfSoul chapter 6 . 2/3/2012
Uh...I get confused about the flow of this story...can you please clean it up? I'm not flaming you but you will need a beta reader...especially the way this story just... instantaneously jump to one part then jump back...I hope to read a better, cleaned story after this. Thank you.
| rescue 007 chapter 6 . 2/3/2012
this chapter was so incredbily stupid that im going to stop reading.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

For the first time, Marshal Guarnaccia is assigned to be lead on a murder investigation. When the dismembered body of a beautiful woman turns out to be that of a transsexual prostitute, the marshal must leave his snug home near the Pitti Palace for the shadowy underworld of Florence's sex trade. Another transsexual is then arrested for the murder, but the marshal is convinced the Carabinieri have made a mistake. Can he find proof before the man he believes to be innocent is confined to life in prison?

At a prelaunch event in San Francisco, representatives from U.K.-based Tournament.com announced new details about its site where gamers can compete in multiplayer deathmatches for cash.
The company has secured a license that allows it to be the exclusive provider of online play-for-cash tournaments with Valve's games. Tournament.com reps at the event said that since the titles it will host (Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 at launch with more titles to be added) are games of skill, not chance, wagering on the outcome of the matches is allowable in most states. Still, gamers in 14 U.S. states which have gambling laws that don't differentiate between games of skill and games of chance will be blocked from participating.
Marcus Pearcey, director of Tournament.com, stated that the stakes for most matches will be about a buck, with high-stakes matches maxing out at $10, the theory being that low-stakes matches will generate interest and allow people to compete without burning through their bankrolls. To allay fears that overenthusiastic noobs will empty their back accounts, get owned, and then be forced to move back in with their parents, individuals will be able to deposit a maximum of $150 into their Tournament.com accounts each month. The company will generate revenue by taking a cut of the pot from each match; the percentage Tournament.com will keep has not yet been finalized.
When asked about combating cheating and the possibility of individuals working together, Pearcey said that the company's proprietary anticheat software, Tournament Anti-Cheat, which was developed with assistance from academics at Cambridge University, would be able to determine when groups were working together and eliminate other types of cheats.
While we're not skilled enough to join the professional gaming circuit , we are ready to gain not just bragging rights but also cold hard cash from some of our lesser-skilled coworkers .

Agile parallel bioinformatics workflow management using Pwrake

BMC Research Notes 2011, 4:331 doi:10.1186/1756-0500-4-331Published: 8 September 2011
In bioinformatics projects, scientific workflow systems are widely used to manage computational procedures. Full-featured workflow systems have been proposed to fulfil the demand for workflow management. However, such systems tend to be over-weighted for actual bioinformatics practices. We realize that quick deployment of cutting-edge software implementing advanced algorithms and data formats, and continuous adaptation to changes in computational resources and the environment are often prioritized in scientific workflow management. These features have a greater affinity with the agile software development method through iterative development phases after trial and error.
Here, we show the application of a scientific workflow system Pwrake to bioinformatics workflows. Pwrake is a parallel workflow extension of Ruby's standard build tool Rake, the flexibility of which has been demonstrated in the astronomy domain. Therefore, we hypothesize that Pwrake also has advantages in actual bioinformatics workflows.
We implemented the Pwrake workflows to process next generation sequencing data using the Genomic Analysis Toolkit (GATK) and Dindel. GATK and Dindel workflows are typical examples of sequential and parallel workflows, respectively. We found that in practice, actual scientific workflow development iterates over two phases, the workflow definition phase and the parameter adjustment phase. We introduced separate workflow definitions to help focus on each of the two developmental phases, as well as helper methods to simplify the descriptions. This approach increased iterative development efficiency. Moreover, we implemented combined workflows to demonstrate modularity of the GATK and Dindel workflows.

Despite the bold ad at the top of the page "Get it Before Christmas" they claim that it didn't apply to my item. What's even worse, this is what it says on my item's page:
Delivery Information
For standard delivery of items in stock, UPS will deliver as quickly as 5 business days. Items shipped to Alaska, Hawaii and US Territories will take longer, and are delivered by UPS or USPS at our regular fees, with an additional charge of $10. Some heavy or oversized items cannot be shipped outside the contiguous 48 states. For these addresses or APO or FPO addresses, call our Sales Department at 1.888.779.5176.
This turned out not to be true. In addition, at checkout it read "please allow 5 days for delivery." Again not true.
Customer service was extremely rude and not helpful at all. As of right now, I can expect my item "sometime in January."
