DHA represents up to 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain.
From the time you were born, docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, has been a key component for your developing brain and eyes. And, it continues to support brain and eye function throughout life. As a matter of fact, DHA is a major structural and functional fat found in the brain and retina and is also a key component of the heart and cardiovascular system, and one of the omega-3 fatty acids recommended by the American Heart Association and USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health.
Additionally, there has been positive research on the role that DHA may play in adult brain and eye health. A study providing 900mg of algal DHA for six months suggests that DHA supplementation at this level may support the memory of healthy adults aged 55 years and older.* Based on a clinical study using 900mg DHA/day for six months in healthy adults with a mild memory complaint.
DHA in the Diet
As awareness of the importance of DHA continues to grow, more attention is being paid to the fact that adults may need to supplement their diets with DHA. On average, the typical American diet contains less than 100mg/day, well below recommendations by expert bodies. A growing awareness of the dietary sources of DHA and the inclusion of DHA in certain fortified foods and supplements is making it easier for people to include this important nutrient in their diets every day.

where $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}, b \in \mathbb{Z}^{m}$ and $k \in \mathbb{N}$. Is there a fast way to verify if there is such an $x$ when $n$ and $k$ are bounded by a constant. Even the case of $n=2$ is of interest to me.

Early power supplies for contact and induction welding for tube production, which were introduced in the 1950s, operated at 300 to 400 kHz. Modern power supplied, introduced in the 1990s, are variable from 200 to 400 kHz. While using any frequency in this range can produce acceptable welds for most applications, finite element analysis can be helpful for finding the optimal frequency for a particular gauge and material.

The introduction of lasers to the manufacturing process has changed the fabrication of tubing. Today, many manual processes can be replaced with laser processing techniques. Using the flexibility afforded by lasers, a bundle of raw tubing can be loaded into a laser tube cutter; parts can be cut with high accuracy, quality, and speed; and then finished parts from the machine can be sent directly to the final assembly.

The engine roars to life, and Bruce Van Sant inches the motorcycle forward, stopping about 25 feet from the starting line. Alan Geetings, crew member of the Van Sant racing team, sprays the asphalt with water. Bruce revs up the engine. The engine's torque breaks the rear tire's grip on the asphalt and it spins furiously. The air is suddenly filled with a cloud of smoke and the smell of burning rubber. After heating the tire, Bruce approaches the starting line.

… or How a Web usability consultancy ignored the recommendations of their own trust report … a cautionary tale!!!
Last week I was pointed to a report on Trust from the Nielson Norman Group – specialists in User Experience. It discussed topics relevant to the research I am doing on user trust for e-services so I paid my $45 for a single use copy of the report.
Their recommendations included:
- Word of Mouth – people will accept and trust a friend's recommendations more than a brand name
- Fair Pricing, Fully Revealed
- Provide honest information about products
- Remove outdated content immediately
- Offer free returns
- Access to helpful people
- Access to real human beings can increase trust
My ears pricked up when I read that the web sites tested were accessed over a 56k modem. It slowly dawned on me that the report was a "mere" 8 years old free pokie games online. While play online pokies a lot of user experience information is timeless, I felt cheated.
I checked – the web site did not list a publication date for the report. They had broken recommendations 2, 3 & 4. So I looked for a way to voice my issues. Damn – recommendation 7 went down as well. But wait, I could send email! I complained that their advertising was misleading and that they had broken numerous recommendations in their own report.
Sigh, you guessed it, recommendation 6 went down in flames – an unsympathetic CSR retorted that my expectations were unreasonable. It was clear that recommendation 5 was not going to be honored either and I was still going to be out my $45.
At least recommendation 1 survives. My word of mouth recommendation is that you should treat statements from this group with skepticism – caveat emptor when purchasing any reports.

Is there any indication in the Bible (N.T. is preferred) that the spirit of man can be discerned properly from the words that he is speaking? And is there any indication of the opposite - that the spirit of man can be easily discerned without listening to his words?

We know that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".
However, being able to entirely determine the state of someone's soul via their words is a talent not entrusted to [most] people (the exceptions being accounted-for in the Bible with the Apostles).
A period of witnessing all of the components of a person's life - words, actions, approaches to living, etc - would be needed to make a credible decision as to whether or not they are saved. As a Christian, it should be our goal to become more and more like Christ every day, and part of that IS with our words - "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear."
Indeed, this practice is followed by many churches when they have a waiting period between when salvation is professed, and when the believer is baptized.
However, even knowing all of that, we are still fallible humans, and there will be "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?'"
Ultimately, it is only God Himself who fully knows the heart.
From the words that he is speaking: By the Emotion and Attitude used when speaking There are two forms of Discernment. The first is the Discernment of (Good, Right, Function) and (Evil, Wrong, Dysfunction). This first type of Discernment is called Wisdom. So a definition one could give to the word [Wisdom] is "The ability to see the answer to the problem."
To Make One Wise
The second is the Discernment of the Spirit. The spirit can be read by the the display of ones attitude and emotion. The spirit develops by faith that things of function or dysfunction are in God's plan, therefore wisdom is not necessary. For what need is their to determine of a situation in its dysfunction. If indeed that situation fulfills a function? Or alternately if a situation fulfills a function, trusting in that functionality, when other functions can be used to fulfill the same purpose? Therefore since the one who is in the faith does not eat of the fruits of the knowledge of good and evil. The Holy First Law of simplicity is completely fulfilled.
What then is the display of those not eating the fruits of the knowledge of good and evil?
What then is the display of those eating the fruits of the knowledge of good and evil?
Therefore by the Emotion and Attitude used when speaking, one can determine ones spirit.
Without listening to his words: By if one hears the truth
The one in error has the focus on both Now and also the Imagination

Is there any transactional installation process like Windows installer in Unix/Linux?
Installation scripts like Makefile or package manager (such as deb) usually simply copy files directly to overwrite existing files.
I don't at all know about the properties of the Windows installer tools, but have a look at the Nix package manager (and the NixOS GNU/Linux distribution built around it). It features atomic updates, since it doesn't at all overwrite anything old.
Another way to go is using filesystem snapshot support, for example like
Edit Using filesystem snapshots,
Typical package managers do take care to ensure that a package is either installed or not installed. There is generally a transition period during which the old version is still installed and the new files are already unpacked, but under different names. If the system crashes during the transition period, it is very likely that the software remains usable; the installation command needs to be resumed to complete the installation. There is a time window during which some of the new files are already in place and some of the old files are still in place, but it is very small.
On the other hand, if there is an installation error, depending on when the error is caught, the program may have switched to the new version even though the new version is unusable. This is unavoidable to some extent: maybe you'll only discover that the new version is unusable because you start the program and it opens your existing files but doesn't interpret them correctly. What most Linux package managers don't have is an easy way to revert an upgrade: typically, you need to manually download the old version of the package and force its installation.
When you install software that's compiled from source, with a makefile or equivalent, you should install the software in its own directory. Install each version in its own directory, and test the new version before removing the old one. The program is immediately usable from its installation directory, so there is no switch to pull between the old version and the new version: just run the new version. Use Stow or XStow to create symbolic links in a common hierarchy, so you can have executables in your

In 2009, NYU sponsored the Quality Service Task Force to understand how faculty, staff, and students experience the NYU academic and administrative processes. The leadership at NYU is committed to examining how NYU's many services are delivered, how the interactions with service support staff are perceived (especially by students), and where they can be improved and satisfaction enhanced.
From the task force's findings, a new vision for service centers to support community members across NYU's functional areas was developed. This happened to coincide with the need to update the IT Service Desk's "ticketing" system, used for receiving and tracking service requests from community members. As a result, the ServiceLink initiative was created to address both of those needs.
The ServiceLink initiative identified several goals necessary to streamline and coordinate the way support is provided by administrative offices and service centers across the University:
In order to accomplish these goals, NYU is in the process of implementing ServiceLink, a new, customized, cloud-based service based on ServiceNow that provides a uniform process for handling service requests across the GNU. A few features that the service offers:
As of the time of this writing, agents at the IT service desks for Stern School of Business, NYU Abu Dhabi IT, and Information Technology Services (ITS), and Human Resources & Payroll ("PeopleLink") advisors in Abu Dhabi are all using ServiceLink to process, route, track, and complete the hundreds of requests they receive every day. The Decision Support Group (DSG), founded as part of the ServiceLink initiative as the support center for all UDW+/OBIEE financial reporting questions, is also up and running.
In the coming months, Human Resources & Payroll ("PeopleLink") in New York, Finance, Student Services ("StudentLink"), Student Housing, Purchasing & Accounts Payable, and Shanghai IT are all planning to begin using ServiceLink to process and resolve support requests. In addition, a new self-service ServiceLink website will soon give the NYU community new ways to find information and request services and support. They will find information by searching and browsing a University Services catalog and a knowledgebase with instructions and troubleshooting tips, and request services through dynamic forms tailored to specific NYU services.
ServiceLink will continue to evolve as new service centers come on board and in response to the results of a soon-to-be-implemented metrics dashboard. But, much as ServiceLink was developed in response to feedback from students, faculty, and staff. The most important source of information for improving the service will be the NYU community's feedback. To this end, the new self-service website will also include forms allowing clients to give direct feedback regarding their service experience. Please stay tuned within the next few months for news about the self-service website; we look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

I think I might have posted this in the wrong forum originally. My apolgies.
It's been about six months since since I officially became a malt maniac, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly. So far, I've had the pleasure of tasting 31 different single malts and three different kentucky bourbons - currently enjoing a dram of Buffalo Trace.
Anyway, my question is, is Whisky Live worth a visit? I will be down in NYC that week, and was curious to know if it's worth the price of admission in terms of the whiskies you get to taste, and in terms of enjoyment of the expo itself? The reason I ask is because sometimes you go to expos (in different industries), and feel like cattle, moving from one booth to the next.
I was also thinking of visiting Park Avenue Liquors. I've started a small collection of island malts, can anyone reccomend an interesting malt to pickup from there? I was thinking of picking up Highland Park bottled for Whisky Live 2006. Any advice there, too?
Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend.

7 Movies That Put Insane Work Into Details You Didn't Notice
Easter eggs are usually kind of a bum deal. Sure, when you finally find one it's like having a secret conversation with your favorite director ... but he's kind of a jerk, the conversation is one-sided and it's usually all about how much of a loser you are for spending a hundred hours sifting through the special features on your Firefly DVD just to find something Joss Whedon slapped together in five minutes.
What follows are the direct opposite of that: These are seven instances where the creators poured their blood, sweat and several other more unsavory fluids into creating something and put it right in front of your face ... and you didn't even notice.
Now who's the jerk, huh?
Note: In a time of bad movies birthed by a sick congress of stupidity and laziness, it's easy to forget that film can be great, can be chock-full of secrets, and can truly mean something to us. Like, in our hearts. So while you're waiting for the next great movie, we hope you'll use this Cracked Classic to remind yourself that good movies are even possible -- all it takes is for the creator to be completely out of their minds. -Cracked
#7. Se7en
When making Se7en, David Fincher knew that the movie's strength relied on "John Doe" being as deeply unsettling as possible. He couldn't just be a character (since he doesn't even appear on screen until the final minutes); he had to be a presence that was felt not only in the pertinent dialogue during his screen time, but also in the very air itself.
There's something unsettling about that word scrawled in blood on the floor, but we can't put our finger on it.
No, John Doe wasn't originally a serial-killing Hawkman, no matter how much better the movie clearly would have been; we mean his presence had to be largely atmospheric. So Fincher hired designer John Sable to "crazy that bitch up." And crazy a bitch up he did: Sable spent $15,000 on old journals, ripped them up and sewed them back together by hand, then baked them to release that delicious tattered journal flavor. Sable found as many pictures of "mutilated limbs, decapitated people, [and] people whose fingers had been sawn off" as he could, and then he started writing like a maniac.
No, seriously, like a total goddamn maniac.
Your sanity is grateful these aren't high resolution.
And you don't stop ...
'Cause you can't stop ...
Because you have mental problems.
Kyle Cooper, who created the film's title sequence, compared Sable to Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man. There were thousands upon thousands of pages of this stuff, almost all of which didn't the make the movie, beyond being scattered about in the background of John Doe's apartment. The most screen time this work saw was an eight-minute montage pocketed away on the DVD. But when Se7en ran out of money and couldn't shoot the title sequence they originally wanted, Kyle Cooper finally suggested using it.
"OK, jeez, I'll do it. Just stop trying to lick my eyeballs."
So sure, it all ultimately served some kind of purpose, but you could just as easily have outsourced the journal writing to heartbroken teenage girls and called it a day. Most fans would never have noticed the difference. It took a truly dedicated artisan to look all this crazy in the eye and say, "I want you inside me."
#6. The Thief and the Cobbler
The Thief and the Cobbler is the most ambitious cartoon you've never heard of. Just take a look at this clip. That is some seriously impressive CGI, right? Isn't it amazing that they could do all that way back in the '70s?
Oh wait, they couldn't.
That was all drawn by hand, every frame of it. Due to creator Richard Williams' crazy attention to detail, legal issues and the fact that every scene has at least twice as many hand-drawn frames per second as any other cartoon you've ever seen, Thief holds the world record for longest production ... at more than 30 years.
To be fair, 29 of those years were spent chaining mescaline, PCP and drain cleaner.
So why didn't this movie change the world, spit right in Disney's eye and kick start Pixar three decades in advance? Why, Hollywood bullshit, of course! With his movie nearly 85 percent complete, some of Williams' investors suddenly got scared, took the rights away from him and replaced every animator involved in the project. He could only watch as his 24-year labor of love was hurriedly completed by a bunch of scabs with a harsh deadline and no budget. In the end, Williams' film was mangled into an incomprehensible mess and released right around the same time as Aladdin, where it was widely regarded as a cheap rip-off, because the two were so damn similar ...
Disney's contribution to the villain character: "Make him browner."
Except the opposite is true, of course: Williams did it decades earlier, all by hand, and uphill -- both ways.
#5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Everybody knows Scott Pilgrim was as full of video game references as it was quirky women with inexplicable girl-boners for Canadians. What you may not have noticed, however, were the recurring number themes running throughout: Remember how Scott fights seven "evil exes," and progresses through their seven respective levels? Well, each one of those exes is himself a number, and everything about him reflects that fact. Scott is the exception, so he's zero: He gets called zero, he drinks Coke Zero and he wears a shirt with "zero" on it.
"It went to 0.5 when the girl changed her mind halfway through."
Matthew Patel, the first evil ex, has only one eye (or at least it appears that way, because of his haircut, which we'll call the Emo Combover). He poses by pointing in the air (with one hand) and gets called "that one guy." Lucas Lee, the second, stays in trailer #2 and says it'll take "two minutes to kick your ass" and that the staircase he grinds down has "like 200 steps." Todd Ingram is in a three-piece band and, like Scott, also wears his number on his shirt.
And we want to punch his smug face three (3) times.
The Roxy Richter fight happens in a club called "4," the Katayanagi twins (numbers 5 and 6) turn their music up to 11 and have five syllables in their last name (six with the first name) and the final, seventh boss is Gideon (whose name starts with G, the seventh letter of the alphabet). All right, you know what? This all seems like reaching. Even we're not buying it anymore. Nobody's that crazy about numbers, save for Rain Men and certain species of felted vampire.
This is probably all just weird coincidence.
Except director Edgar Wright verified every one of those claims; it was all his insane pet project during filming. It turned the corner from subtle to overt during the final showdown, starting from the moment Scott walks into the club:
Seven, seven, seven, seven.
Seven hundred!
Seven billion!
Numbers are fun! Ah, ah, ah.

- Allstar Selections:
- Hall of Fame:
- 1972
The man they called "Gus" recorded his 300th and final win in 1963 at the age of 43. A share of Early Wynn's previous 299 victories had helped both the Indians and the White Sox to the only pennants of the 1950s not won by the Yankees. Wynn was a gritty right-hander who kept the ball in play and helped himself with the bat.
Unform Number
#44 (1939), #11 (1941-1944), #26 (1946-1948), #24 (1949-1962), #38 (1963)
Replaced By
His last regular job as a starting pitcher was 1962 with the White Sox. In 1963 he was replaced by Gary Peters.
Best Season
As the Tribe rolled to 111 wins and the pennant, Early Wynn joined his famous fellow starters (Bob Feller, Mike Garcia and Bob Lemon) in the rotation. He won 23 games, losing just seven, while posting a 2.73 ERA. He paced the league in innings and wins, while also completing 20 starts and saving two games.
Factoid 1
Wynn was a fierce competitor who often found himself in confrontations with umpires, opposing batters, his teammates, and his manager. He hated to be removed from a game, and he rarely was � finishing 47% of his starts.
Factoid 2
On September 15, 1946, Early Wynn pinch-hit for the pitcher and slugged a grand slam in the Senators' seven-run fifth inning against the Tigers in Detroit. It was the third homer of Wynn's career, and his first grand slam.
Before 1937 Season: Signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent; December 14, 1948: Traded by the Washington Senators with Mickey Vernon to the Cleveland Indians for Ed Klieman, Joe Haynes, and Eddie Robinson; December 4, 1957: Traded by the Cleveland Indians with Al Smith to the Chicago White Sox for Minnie Minoso and Fred Hatfield; November 20, 1962: Released by the Chicago White Sox; June 21, 1963: Signed as a Free Agent with the Cleveland Indians; October 14, 1963: Released by the Cleveland Indians.
Durability. From the age of 31-40, Wynn started at least 30 games and hurled no fewer than 230 innings every season.
He gave up his share of home runs.
On July 13, 1963, Wynn garnered his 300th (and final) major league victory. Starting the second game of a doubleheader against the Royals, Wynn hurled five innings, allowing four runs, but left with a slim lead. Four shutout innings of relief by Jerry Walker earned Wynn his milestone victory.
Helping Yourself Out
The pitchers listed below are the only pitchers to win a 1-0 game and also drive in the only run with a home run. 8/3/1906, Tom Hughes, Senators, off Fred Glade, Browns (10th inning) 8/13/1932, Red Ruffing, Yankees, off Tommy Thomas, Senators (10th inning) 5/21/1938, Spud Chandler, Yankees, off Thornton Lee, White Sox 5/1/1959, Early Wynn, White Sox, off Tom Brewer, Red Sox 4/18/1962, Milt Pappas, Orioles, off Bill Stafford, Yankees 8/6/1962, Johnny Klippstein, Reds, off Don McMahon, Colt-45s (13th inning) 5/5/1965, Jim Bunning, Phillies, off Warren Spahn, Mets 9/16/1971, Juan Pizarro, Cubs, off Tom Seaver, Mets 6/17/1983, Bob Welch, Dodgers, off Mario Soto, Reds 8/28/2002, Odalis Perez, Dodgers, off Rick Helling, Diamondbacks
Brushback at First Base
Once, when Mickey Mantle sent a line drive back up the middle that narrowly missed him, Wynn motioned for his first baseman to play in back of the bag while he threw over and aimed for Mickey's legs.
On May 1, 1959, Wynn hit a solo homer off Boston's Tom Brewer to provide the only run in his 1-0 victory over the Red Sox... In 1984, a malfunctioning woodstove exploded in the home of 64-year old former pitcher. Wynn received second and third-degree burns to his face and upper body. Luckily he was wearing glasses, which probably saved his eyesight.

"Hagrid, just because you believe every stupid claim you see on some dubious wingnutter site doesn't mean you are well informed. In fact, it strongly suggests the exact opposite."
Then you provide "proof" from a conspiracy wingnut site. Bravo!
From their home page:
"The web is full of sites covering various conspiracy theories. Many seem well-researched, and appear to have plenty of detailed documentation to prove their claims. But are they really true?
We don't know, but one good way to start is by checking a few claims for yourself."
Wouldn't it be easier (and far more accurate) to simply admit you screwed up?
You never did provide proof for your claim that Ughanda has laws that promote violence against gays.
Can you support your claim, or do we continue laughing at you?

Hardly "stupidenst", and far from stupidest.
That is exactly what they did prior to 9-11.
The hijackers drank beer, gambled, shaved their beards, went to strip clubs. But then, your sources may not have told you that.

Furthermore, Muslims intending to destroy an enemy may do anything to fit in, sneak around, and blend in as long as it is critical to accomplishing their mission. This would include eating pork, smoking, drinking, and appearing to be a Christian. Since Obama is doing such a good job of destroying this country it is probable he'd do anything to fit in and appear to not be the enemy.

I agree Hagrid, if it were not so sad, it is definitely an amazingly funny comedy.

As a electronic customer, I sometimes have to go to manufacturer's websites to find information about products, drivers/firmware update, etc. More ore less, most of these websites, IMO, are bad. They're slow, not user-friendly (some time, really ugly), and take me lots of time to do what I need to. For example, in Sony's website, I must find "Vaio laptops" in a list of dozens (may be hundreds) products, then find my specific model in a list of hundreds model. Fail! I also see that on several websites, they may be slightly better, but still not good (HP, Dell, Lenovo (somewhat better), ...)
Well, they may be have a large back-end system there, but that does not mean they can make the frond-end faster and more user-friendly. Is there an obvious reason that large corporation's website are that bad?

I am trying to create a simple game on android but I am unsure the best way to do the game loop. Looking at the LunarLander sample the game loop just loops like a variable time step loop (elapsed = now-lastupdate). I tried using this method to draw a circle that grows in size to a max radius then shrinks to a min radius and repeats. However, when I run the program the growing stage is very choppy and slow (it takes longer than it should to get to max radius).
My Code:
public void updateSize(double elapsed) {
if (mGrowing == true && mRadius > mMaxRadius) {
mGrowing = false;
if (mGrowing == false && mRadius < mMinRadius) {
mGrowing = true;
if (mGrowing == true) {
mRadius += mDRadius * elapsed;
} else {
mRadius -= mDRadius * elapsed;
mDRadius is the number of pixel the radius should change per second and elapsed is the number of seconds that has passed.
I tried putting in a sleep of 2ms and 5ms in my game loop and I get the same result.
I converted my loop to a fixed time step (only run physics update if now-lastupdate > TIME_STEP) and the animation was a lot smoother.
UPDATE: I change the sleep to 15ms and it's a lot smoother. Every other example I've seen of an android game does not have a sleep in the main loop. Is this because my sample is just so simple that it takes virtually no time to update and all other examples just have a longer update time or am I missing something?

I am trying to migrate my site hosting from bluehost to AWS cloud based service.
I have the site up and running on AWS with an elastic IP configured, it loads fine when I specify the IP address in the browser.
I have gone into Route 53 on the AWS console and created a "hosted zone" for the domain. I then created a new record set of type "A" using the IP address as the value.
I have a domain name registered with bluehost. Ive logged into the bluehost account and updated the domain name servers to point to those specified in Route 53 in the AWS console.
When I hit the IP address directly the site loads, however it doesn't load when using the domain name (I get a google chrome oops error page saying page is not found)
I've tried using this site: http://dns.squish.net/ to debug but it seems to be giving me the correct results.
fizaclegems.com 300 IN A 18.104.22.168
Where 184.108.40.206 matches the elastic IP configured in the AWS console. This is the result it gives for all 4 name servers.
Am I missing a step here? Does anyone know what else I should be doing or looking for?

Genzyme's R&D efforts span a range of clinical needs. Often our research centers on rare, or orphan, diseases that get little attention elsewhere. Other times it's in more widely studied medical areas, but focused on a specific niche or novel treatment approach.
We have particularly strong research programs in the medical areas that correspond with our business units – rare diseases and neuroimmunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. We are on the forefront of solving medical challenges within these therapeutic areas. For example, most medicines that treat lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are infusions that can't treat the iterations of these diseases that affect the central nervous system (CNS). Our scientists are currently investigating a small molecule for Fabry disease that has the potential to reach the CNS. If successful, this approach could be used with other diseases and could revolutionize the treatment of neuropathic LSDs for a group of patients who had no treatment options.
Within neuroimmunology, we are already starting on next-generation MS treatments. Our goal is to find treatments that not only stop disease progression but also repair the damaged immune system, and we are researching a variety of technology platforms – including small molecules and antibodies – to accomplish this goal.
We also pursue promising research outside our defined areas of focus; these product candidates may eventually be commercialized by another part of Sanofi.
Many diseases have a genetic component, but those defined as genetic diseases are directly caused by a specific gene abnormality. Genetic diseases are usually passed down from parent to child. The class of genetic diseases is broad and includes disorders that affect every bodily system. Some of these are extremely rare and may not be widely studied.
Genzyme's groundbreaking research in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for the rare genetic diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) was the foundation of our business. Today, we are still widely recognized as a global leader in LSD research and have expanded our research from protein-based ERT to include small molecule drugs and gene therapies. We're also applying our experience toward the study of other genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis.
Neurologic diseases are a broad category of disorders with varying underlying causes that affect the brain, spinal cord, and/or other nerve areas in the body, including the eye. Because the central nervous system is vital in controlling many critical bodily functions, neurologic disorders can be particularly debilitating and often fatal.
Neurologic disease has long been an area of interest for Genzyme, since many of the lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) – the genetic diseases that were our earliest focus and target of our first products – have neurologic manifestations. Although our enzyme replacement therapies are highly effective at treating many other symptoms of LSDs, they are not effective at addressing the neurologic manifestations. Thus Genzyme is researching alternative therapeutic strategies for LSDs, including industry-leading work in gene therapy and substrate reduction therapies (SRT). In addition, we have research programs in several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's, spinal muscular atrophy, Huntington's disease, and age-related macular degeneration.
Neuroimmunology research addresses neurological disorders with an immunological component. The primary focus has been on multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by the progressive development of disability. In individuals with MS, autoreactive lymphocytes attack the myelin sheath which insulates the axons that are responsible for communicating electrical impulses between neurons. As a result, lesions or areas of demyelination accumulate in the CNS over time, leading to an increase in debilitating symptoms. Recent exciting advances include the successful completion of clinical trials with a monoclonal antibody (alemtuzumab), as well as U.S. regulatory approval of an oral small molecule therapy (teriflunomide). Current research efforts aim to develop agents that could provide neuroprotection against immunological damage and promote remyelination of neurons (neural repair). Such approaches may have applicability to other inflammatory neurological disorders such as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Immune-mediated disease (IMD) research is focused on the discovery of therapeutics that modulate the immune system, thus addressing a variety of diseases that result from unwanted immune function including autoimmunity and organ transplant rejection. Autoimmunity results when the immune system that normally protects the host from infection goes awry and results in the destruction of normal host cells and tissues. The significant unmet medical need represented by select autoimmune conditions represents a growing area of interest for Genzyme, including diseases such as vasculitis, juvenile onset/type I diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosis. We conducted significant research for a leading immunosuppressant antibody therapeutic, now in the Sanofi portfolio, that improves the success of organ transplants by discouraging the host's immune system from treating the donor organ as a foreign invader.
Recent advances in immunology are teaching us that there are common mechanistic threads based on immune effector cell functions that weave the broad class of IMDs together. Our growing molecular understanding of destructive immune mechanisms suggests key target point, or "Achilles heel," opportunities for intervention. We are currently investigating novel antibodies and small molecule drugs which hold promise for selective intervention via these key target points.
Cardiovascular disease is a broad term encompassing many diseases affecting the heart and/or blood vessels. As a leading cause of death around the world, cardiovascular disease has naturally been the subject of extensive research.
Our research in this area focuses on specific niches where we can make a meaningful contribution. For instance, our work in lipid (cholesterol) lowering drugs in collaboration with ISIS Pharmaceuticals targets particularly difficult-to-treat forms of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), including genetic forms of the disease that often don't respond to traditional therapies. Our other areas of cardiovascular research include evaluating therapeutic approaches to treating severe myocardial infarction.
Renal disease – failure of the kidneys to function properly and remove waste substances from the blood – is a serious condition that can be life-threatening. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term, ongoing degenerative process. It is often caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure that gradually damages the kidneys. Without effective treatments, CKD ultimately leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), requiring dialysis (mechanical "cleaning" of the blood when the kidneys cannot) and/or kidney transplant.
CKD and ESRD have been the primary focus of Genzyme's renal research, including therapies to complement dialysis. These include polymer-based phosphate binders – drugs to remove phosphate before it accumulates in the blood. We are also investigating novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of progressive kidney fibrosis that can occur following acute injury or can be associated with genetic diseases like Alport's disease or metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Additionally, we are developing therapeutic treatments for polycystic kidney disease and mechanistically related diseases. Finally, recognizing the interrelationship between kidney and bone biology, we are investigating novel therapeutic treatments for rare bone diseases.
Orthopedics relates to problems of the musculoskeletal system – ranging from broken bones and skeletal deformities to damaged or injured cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
While orthopedic conditions are often treated surgically, Genzyme has long been a leader in innovative biologic therapies that offer alternatives to traditional surgery. Our pioneering research into cell therapy resulted in the first marketed product for growing a patient's own cartilage cells in culture to replace damaged knee cartilage. The market-leading lubricant injectable to help relieve knee pain associated with osteoarthritis, a product now in the Sanofi portfolio, emerged from some of our earliest work in biomaterials – research that continues to yield new applications.
From discovery projects in cystic fibrosis and lupus, to a clinical program for a potential enzyme replacement therapy for Niemann-Pick, to promising phase 3 results for a novel oral therapeutic candidate for Gaucher disease – plus much more – our research pipeline demonstrates our abilities to address a range of medical problems.
Our research programs originate from many sources. We continue to build on work in our established therapeutic areas. For example, we pioneered enzyme replacement therapies for lysosomal storage disorders, and today we're investigating small molecule drugs and even gene therapy for those rare genetic disorders. Wherever feasible, we also explore expanding the indications of our existing products, which can lead to potential therapies in an entirely different disease area. For example, our former leukemia antibody product which is now in the Sanofi portfolio, has shown strong clinical study data as a treatment for multiple sclerosis.
Research inspiration can also be as personal as a single scientist's firsthand experience with the effects of a particular disease. We don't limit ourselves to a set list of medical areas, and we're always willing to venture in new directions. At Genzyme, an innovative spirit encourages our researchers to pursue many avenues – while an integrative approach that brings together medical, clinical, regulatory, and commercial experts from throughout the company helps focus our efforts on a realistic end goal.
Our expertise in a variety of medical technology platforms gives us flexibility to find the best possible therapeutic format for the medical challenges we tackle within our research areas.

- abstract
Traditionally, giving in dictator games was assumed to signal preferences over others' payoffs. To date, several studies find that dictator game giving breaks down under conditions designed to increase dictators' anonymity or if an option to take money obscures the purpose of the task. Giving is therefore argued to result from an experimenter demand effect. Here, we put this new interpretation to a stress test and find evidence that dictators mean to compensate the recipient for her vulnerable position in the game. Our results explain why giving decreases under specific conditions designed to increase anonymity and why the same individual may signal very different other-regarding preferences across different rules and/or roles of a game (Blanco et al. 2011).

Foods to Avoid Feeding Baby
Growing babies soon start to show interest in trying new foods, and it's normal to want to introduce them to new tastes and textures. But not all foods are safe for your baby. Here is a list of foods you should avoid feeding your baby during the first year of growth.

Infants under the age of one should not be fed any form of honey (raw, baked, or cooked). Honey is bad for babies because it can harbor Clostridium botulinum, which can produce botulinum spores. These spores secrete toxins that can lead to muscle weakness, poor sucking, a weak cry, constipation, decreased muscle tone, and even paralysis in young infants. An infant's intestinal track isn't strong enough to fight off these spores and toxins.

The Veterans Affairs Department's inspector general is investigating allegations that some employees illegally accepted gifts — possibly including free rides in helicopters and a stretch limo — from hotels they were scouting as possible locations for two conferences held last year.
A Capitol Hill staffer told Federal Times Tuesday that the alleged gifts to conference organizers also may have included free lodging, food, alcohol, concert tickets, spa treatments and gift baskets. The IG has not reached any conclusions on those allegations yet, the staffer said.
VA spent $5 million on the two human resources training conferences at the Marriott World Center in Orlando, Fla., in July and August 2011. VA's IG began investigating allegations of wasteful spending and improper acceptance of gratuities in April after receiving a tip on its hotline.
The staffer said the IG is investigating roughly $200,000 in questionable spending at the two conferences.
IG's office told Federal Times Monday that the conferences were for legitimate purposes but it has "uncovered questionable activities" in its probe.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, said that "if the results of the IG investigation are upheld, this represents an egregious misuse of funds meant to provide for the care of America's veterans."
Miller told Federal Times that VA spent roughly $84,000 on promotional items, including highlighters and pens with the agency's logo.
And about a half-dozen employees went on several scouting trips to at least three locations that were being considered for the conference. Miller said the multiple planning trips cost about $13,000.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in an Aug. 10 letter to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, called the allegations and preliminary findings "alarming."
"Despite the legitimate purpose of training, there can be no excuse for excessive or wasteful spending of VA resources," Collins said in the letter. "At a time when so many veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are in need of care and assistance, the VA must make every effort to spend each dollar in support of its important mission."
Collins' office said the IG's office briefed lawmakers last week, and that the IG received its original tip in the wake of the General Services Administration's infamous Las Vegas conference scandal detailed in an April report from GSA's IG. Shinseki was also briefed.
In a statement to Federal Times, VA said the alleged misconduct is unacceptable.
"Secretary Shinseki … will hold accountable any individuals who are found to have misused taxpayer dollars or violated our standards of conduct," VA said.
VA said that it has removed the contracting authority of any employees who are under investigation. And Shinseki ordered an outside review of all training policies and procedures to be completed within 90 days, the agency said.
VA also ordered employees involved in recertifying, planning and executing training conferences to undergo ethics training.
In April, the GSA IG's office detailed a 2010 conference for GSA employees in Las Vegas that cost $823,000, a fraction of the alleged costs of the VA conference being investigated. The April release of the report on the GSA conference quickly led to the ouster of GSA's top leaders.
The VA IG's office told Federal Times that it will likely release its report by the end of September, but would not provide any more details on what it found. It said the conferences were for legitimate purposes.
Lawmakers are likely to hold hearings on the conferences after the final report is released.

7 Simple Questions You Won't Believe Science Just Answered
#3. How Scratching Relieves an Itch
There is nothing more primitively satisfying that scratching an itch. Babies, dogs, monkeys and people with crabs do it like their lives depend on it. It's one bodily function that you don't have to work hard to accomplish, and you don't have to agonize over the consequences or make any kind of decision beyond the simple brain-to-hand order "scratch." For most of us, scratching an itch is a simple endeavor that gives an immediate reward: itch relief.
Yeeeeaaaah, that's the spot.
But for people with certain skin, immune system and psychological ailments, scratching is a whole other compulsive and painful ball of wax. For doctors, one of the most baffling symptoms a patient can report is unexplained itching. How are you supposed to treat something like that when, up until recently, nobody had any clue how scratching relieves an itch?
What We Just Found Out
Here's a shocker: It's not your skin that's making you itch, nor is it your skin that's getting relief when you scratch. All of that itching and scratching business is controlled by a specific set of neurons in the spinal cord. Here's the six-step experiment that scientists used to figure out what's behind your urge to scratch the dozens of itches that this paragraph has made you suddenly aware of all over your body:
Step 1: Paralyze and sedate some monkeys.
Step 2: Put electrodes on their spinal nerves.
Step 3: Inject monkey legs with histamine to give them the itches.
Step 4: Watch monkey spinal neurons fire up; dance a little jig for the fun of it.
Step 5: Scratch monkey legs, but not in the same place the histamine was injected.
Step 6: Observe the calming down of monkey spinal neurons.
Step 6(a): High-five someone.
Maybe throw in a little crazy for good measure.
Did you catch that? They made the monkeys itch in once place -- say, their little monkey knees -- then scratched them (with a sciencey metal scratching device) in an altogether different spot -- let's say their monkey butts. And according to their monkey spines, the misplaced scratch did the trick.
Via bocaberta.org
Obviously, this is huge news for the world's population of sleeping paralyzed monkeys, but it could also mean a lot of relief for a lot of itchy people who doctors decided were crazy when they couldn't find the poison ivy that was making them scratch holes in their skin.
#2. How Cats Drink
Trying to explain the difference between cats and dogs is like trying to explain the difference between a hamburger and a double homicide. Cats are so haughty and mysterious that we've put them on a fancy pedestal of elegance, while dogs are pretty much the George Wendts of the animal kingdom. If you met a talking dog in a bar, you'd probably buy him a beer and ask him to tell you his life story. If you met a talking cat, you'd probably start speaking with a British accent and "harumphing" so he would stop judging you.
And you still wouldn't be good enough.
Added to the mystery is the fact that until recently, no one quite understood how cats drink. In fact, no one really thought much about it and just assumed that cats drank like dogs -- using their tongues to form a kind of backward cup. Watch:
Kind of a convoluted way of wetting your whistle, but, hey, whatever floats your boats, dogs. Like most animals, cats lack the capacity to suck past infancy, but unlike dogs, they can't quite work their tongues into ad hoc cups. But what they've got going on is whole lot cooler.
What We Just Found Out
Every time a cat gets a drink, it's doing complex physics with its mouth.
Here's how it works: First the cat dips its little kitty tongue into the water, then it whips it back, pulling up a column of liquid with it. Just before gravity draws its watery prey back to the bowl, KA-CLOMP! Garfield snaps that airborne drink into his chops.
And they can get four laps in a second. So unless your eyes have the power to slow down time (in which case, you should really be playing Major League Baseball and watching less cat drinking), you really can't be blamed for missing the mystery.
The coolest part, besides the ka-clompage, is that cats are hard-wired to calculate exactly when they can catch the most water. If they snap too soon, they'll get just a drip, but if they wait too long, they'll get a swallow of nothing, because the water will already be back in the bowl. Scientists actually made a robocat tongue machine to measure how fast a cat should lap to get the most water. But it was too late, because the cats were already lapping at that exact speed.
#1. How Glaciers Form
For years, science has explained the formation of glaciers using the "layer-cake growth model for ice sheets," because they know we won't pay attention to illustrations that aren't either shiny or delicious. The theory is based on the assumption that glaciers grew from the top down, like a layer cake. Snow fell and froze to the top of the glacier, making it bigger and heavier and pushing more of it underwater.
And they are delicious.
For as long as humans have known about glaciers, we've thought they formed from this top-down process. It wasn't just an excuse for scientists to envision the Arctic as one massive coconut layer cake. The model is responsible for all that neat stuff you learned about ice ages in the past, and it also helps scientists build their glacial melt models. You know, the ones predicting when all the coastal cities need to call it a day.
What We Just Found Out
There's more than one way to build a glacier! Yes, the accumulation of falling snow is one way, and it's perfectly fine, if you're into that sort of thing. But the other way is from the bottom up. In the spring of 2011, scientists found out that liquid water under glaciers can actually freeze and thaw, depending on the insulation and friction from the ice above. The refrozen ice not only can constitute half of the thickness of some glaciers but also can violently change their landscapes, as you can imagine would happen when a glacier is taking a piggyback ride on a flowing river of water that suddenly solidifies.
And that's when it gets pissed off.
So if we went back to the coconut-layer-cake analogy, it would be like the baker deciding to add icing and cake to the top and bottom layers, maybe while wearing roller skates, because he's a wild card.
So what does this mean to us? It means our glacier ice-melt models are shot. Because if the top layer of melting ice is getting replaced by an invisible (to us) bottom layer of solidifying ice, how are we going to predict the glacier's thickness? And did we mention that it takes "aircraft equipped with ice penetrating radars, laser ranging systems, gravity meters and magnetometers" to find this subglacial refreeze ice party in the first place? So it's not like we can just check out Google Earth to see what's shaking at the poles. It's also ruined all of our ice-dating methodologies. We can't count on the top layer being new and the bottom layer being old when refrozen ice is screwing and warping all the layers above it. Everything we understand about ice ages and climate change comes from correctly dating that ice -- something we just can't do anymore.
Dude. Not cool.
But hey, at least we've got that whole ozone hole figured out, right? Right? Science? Why are you coughing uncomfortably and staring at your shoelaces? Crap.

Never played Demon's since I'm poor and went with the 360 this generation but DSII is going to be a rare day one buy for me. Can't wait to see what crazy shit they throw at us this time.
Never played Demon's since I'm poor and went with the 360 this generation but DSII is going to be a rare day one buy for me. Can't wait to see what crazy shit they throw at us this time.
I would actually say I like Demon's a hair better. I was just agreeing with the world structure.
Wish Dark Souls had better bows in the beginning.
Dark Souls has bows?
Yeah in demon's souls you could slam spices and spam mana shit all day, then if you could go white tendency and make the game even easier. Farming for souls was easy peasy too.
Demon's souls was "babies first Souls game."
It makes sense rev and victor prefer it.
Dark was easier. And the best first run build is too obvious.
Nah, Bloo. It's because of the atmosphere and the general feel of the game.
Also yeah, Dark Souls is easier. Seriously, people are pussies. Orns and Smough? Pft. Fuck those clowns.
It's so easy to farm souls in Demon's too. I agree guys, Demon's Souls was baby as fuck. The Storm Shrine after you kill the Adjudicator, you can farm the reapers in the next area, suicide, collect your body and rinse and repeat. And when that doesn't reap enough souls, then go to the final area and harvest storm rays.
I'm so glad I didn't play demon's souls first, then I'd have this weird ass attachment to it thinking it was harder when in reality it was the first game I played in this style, which is always going to be harder the first time you play it. Dark Souls being more or the less the same game with improvements would of course seem easier to people who played the first game and can think in Souls' frame of mind.
Remember those times you could get 400% damage boost in Demon's Souls? I wish Dark Souls was that easy.
- - - Updated - - -
Remember that time by 2/3rds of the game you had more than enough Moon Grass to run 3 playthroughs with?
Good thing Dark Souls tethered us with Estus Flasks to stop that soft-served ice cream shit.
Remember that time World Tendency was the biggest gimmick ever? Want white for a random run through and for easy first area during NG+? Kill bosses. Want black tendency for farming? Die a lot in human form.
That game was something fierce.
Liza Minnelli fierce.
I found that Dark Souls was pretty pathetic with the amount of difficulty it offered. I stacked endurance and vitality on my first playthrough and was rather amazed by how many bosses I could steamroll through by just holding up my shield. It was like the entire concept just baffled them. Doing that a lot of the bosses in Demon's Souls was a death sentence.
Remember that time, when someone blitzkrieg'd their stats then complained it was too easy?
I mean, every other game you farm to levels 50-60 before you even hit the 3rd boss is still hard as fuck, especially on your first playthrough.
Number Munchers was harder than Demon's Souls.
Sure Demon's has exploits, but that doesn't detract from it. Dark Souls has them too. I have replayed Demon's recently and didn't think it was half as hard as I had before, but the visuals are still there, the characters are still there and the amazingly creepy undertones are there as well.
I play video games for the graphics as well Victor
Right, and Dark has two great weapons that literally don't require and soul investment (while everything that competes with them does); get the req. and spend the everything else (5k) on whatever you want.
Remember that time someone claimed to block all day and win when Gywn's 4 attack volley literally saps more than the stamina bar can ever possibly have?
Demon's Souls could babysit my niece it's so sweet.
Remember Pinwheel?
I don't. My NPC summon literally killed him for me.
Oh shit, one side boss that was intentionally easy. When the game has two NPC's(and another one that is suggested to be after the same thing) that seek the rite of passage but end up undead and you get it easy-peasy, it was supposed to show the player how much progress they made since the beginning of the game when NPC's were an issue.
I guess we should chastise a game for even trying to get the player to reflect.
Closing Statement:
I'm glad the better game is getting a sequel.

Terminal 2 Expansion: Project Identification-Project consists of the expansion of the existing baggage claim area into the adjoining 28,000 square-foot warehouse, stair and ramp improvements, new toilet facilities, air conditioning, lighting, two new elevators and fire protection upgrades.
U.S. Customs Interior Improvements: Interior improvements to Bays 4, 5 & 6 within the Foreign Trade Zone, replacing temporary office areas with permanent facilities. The overall project work includes concrete, masonry block walls, miscellaneous structural steel, waterproofing, roof insulation, built-up roofing system, roof accessories, hollow metal doors and frames, hardware, glazing, interior finishes, drywall partitions, painting, and furnishings. Also included is plumbing, fire protection, heating-ventilating, air conditioning, electrical systems, lighting, data, and communication – alarm signal systems.
Berth 28 Bollard Replacement: This project consists of three different operations: Demolition, removal and disposal of the collapsed bollard structure. Construction of a new replacement structure. Construction of a catwalk from the existing Berth 29 pier to allow foot traffic to the bollard.
GIS/Mapping: On ongoing effort is underway to locate the utility infrastructure within the Port jurisdictional area. To-date, all Fire Hydrants have been located with Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy and unique identification numbers assigned to each. Roof repairs within Port Everglades are monitored via a roof maintenance application developed within the GIS software.
Port Building Fire Alarm Upgrades: This project is intended to upgrade the fire alarm systems for Buildings 6, 16, 21a, 46/47, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 612, the Public Works Building, and the Southport Crane Maintenance Building. The work includes, the installation of feeders, breakers and conductors, alarm devices, smoke detectors, main panels, and other related work.
Port Security Enhancements: This project started in response to attempts to stop drug trafficking, the flow of stolen vehicles and cash laundering which Port Everglades was experiencing during the late 1990s. Soon after September 11, 2001, the project took on a priority status, with emphasis on addressing the Port's vulnerabilities presented by potential terrorism.
Construction on improvements started in early 2003. The construction of a Security Operations Center got underway. Securing those portions of the port where access took place unchecked followed with the installation of the Southport fence, a project requiring the installation of security fence along the western edge of the port in Southport, from Eller Drive to the Dania cut-off canal. Next was the construction of the Eller Drive roadside gate and the McIntosh Road roadside gate. These gates control access to the port, insuring that only those with reasons to be at the Port enter.
The construction of a Security Wall separating fuel storage facilities from direct view and direct access from US1 was next. Approximately 1,600 feet of concrete, 12 feet high were installed, providing a first line of defense to this vulnerable area.
In the meantime, more than 13 miles of underground conduit was put in place from Southport, through Midport, up to Northport. This security conduit carries the backbone that provides secured communications, data and Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) in support of the Port Security Plan and its systems. The installation of CCTV, intercom and access control followed the completion of the installation of the security conduit. With passageway in place, fiber optics were installed, bringing all field installed devices to the Security Operations Center.
The Eisenhower Boulevard gate and Southeast 20th Street sally port gate were constructed next. At present, the Spangler Boulevard and the Southeast 14th Avenue gates are under construction, anticipating completion by the end of March 2005.
Electronically controlled access to the docks through gates at strategic locations is the next phase, followed by the installation of a temporary ID processing center to handle both port IDs and the Florida Uniform Personnel Access Credential (FUPAC) and the Federal Transportation Worker's Identification Card (TWIC).

Chase, Canterbury advance to New England title games
The Chase boys rode 12 points each from Ryan Shiel and Kyle Bonicki to a 58-36 victory over Chapel Hill-Chancy Hall in the New England Prep Class D semifinals at Goss Field House on Friday.
The second-seeded Highlanders will play in their first Class D final in school history Sunday morning at 11:30 at Worcester (Mass.) Academy against the winner of No. 1 Hoosac vs. No. 4 Boston Trinity. Chase last played in the New England final in 2002 in Class E, which no longer exists.
Greg Facey had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Chase (17-7) while Billy Robinson had 11 points and four assists. Shiel also had four assists.
"Defensively, it was one of our best performances of the year," said coach J. Paul Vance. "Offensively, we struggled to put the ball in the basket. We struggled at the line (11 of 26), but the guys made up for it with defense. It was an ugly win. It doesn't feel like a 20-point win. But we did the little things to win."
Sheldon Furman led Chapel Hill-Chauncey (10-9) with 10 points.
Canterbury 76, Noble and Greenough 65: Donovan Mitchell had 28 points, five rebounds and three steals to lead Canterbury into the New England Class B final on Friday in Windsor.
Charles Rice added 17 points and nine rebounds for Canterbury (17-9), which will play in the tournament final on Sunday in Worecster, Mass. at 3:30 against an opponenet to be determined.
Donovan Jackson chipped in nine points and four assists.

**Please Note: The Flexi Gate consists of three panels: an even door panel flanked by two odd panels. Odd panels can only connect to even panels, and even panels can only connect to odd panels. Therefore, if you wish to purchase an extension (item 90815), you must select an even panel. Your second extension must be an odd panel (unless you wanted to keep the door in the middle, and then you would select an even panel and connect it on the opposite end as your first extension. (A third extension would have to be an odd panel, and using a third extension would once again offset your door from center.)
For additional explanation of the new extensions, please download the Flexi Gate Extension Manual PDF.

The Turkish side have agreed a deal with Inter for the Dutchman but increased interest from the Premier League outfit has stalled any potential move to the Super LigGalatasaray chairman Unal Aysal has admitted that the club have made alternative plans in the event that Wesley Sneijder chooses a move to Liverpool.
The Reds have made the Dutchman aware of their interest in him, with the playmaker extremely keen on a move to the Premier League after a switch to Manchester United failed in 2010.
Sneijder has fallen out of favour at Inter, with the Italian club desperately trying to shift his wages off their books, while Liverpool have cleared the hefty salaries of Joe Cole and Nuri Sahin in January.
Aysal told reporters: "We offered Sniejder less than €5.5 million [£4.6m] and we have an agreement with Inter for €7.5 million [£6.2m] for Sneijder.
"Now we are waiting for player's decision. I never said 'we agreed with Sneijder 99 per cent'.
"If we can not sign with him, we have a plan B."
