Manchester United Announces Sponsorship Deal with Social Gaming Partner09:31 EDT Thursday, April 25, 2013
MANCHESTER, England (Business Wire) -- Manchester United (NYSE:MANU) one of the most popular and successful sports teams in the world today hosted a launch event to celebrate its new sponsorship agreement with gloops, Japan's leading social gaming company.
The new two year regional sponsorship will see gloops become the Club's first Official Social Gaming Partner, allowing them the right to create and distribute a statistical based battle card social game in Japan.
Manchester United has almost 4 million followers in Japan and the addition of gloops to the Club's family of sponsors follows on from a number of sponsorship agreements with some of the country's most successful brands.
Founded in 2005, gloops was originally an advertising agency before diversifying into the online social gaming industry. Much like Manchester United, the company started from humble beginnings, employing just 6 people. Now just 8 years on they employ over 600 across offices in Japan, the U.S. and Vietnam.
gloops has an annual turnover of ¥2.4 billion and produces 19 different games, boasting over 18 million members in Japan. The company has also been awarded one of the most prestigious social gaming awards in Japan
Manchester United Commercial Director, Richard Arnold comments:
'Our partnership with gloops is a first for the Club and we are delighted that they are now part of the Manchester United family. gloops is a market leader in what is still very much an emerging industry. They are at the forefront of social gaming's development in Japan and we believe they can help the Club deepen our engagement with many of our 4 million followers in Japan. This is a very important territory for us, which is one of the reasons we chose to visit Japan as part of our Tour 2013 and we are very pleased to be able to offer fans innovative digital content from gloops.
'We are delighted to see this partnership bring Manchester United closer to a greater number of people through the distribution of new games and joint corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects. I know the Manchester United Foundation is keen to explore ways that it can work with gloops in this important area.'
gloops President Shinsuke Kawakata comments:
We are delighted to be launching our partnership with Manchester United, to create new game titles for the Club's millions of Japanese fans. As well as providing sports themed content to our 18 million users, gloops has also been an avid supporter of sports fans and athletes through our CSR programme, which was launched last year. Through our CSR programme we have already offered our local community tickets to baseball matches, as well as making donations to the TOMODACHI Project, a Japan-US initiative under the public and private sector partnership."

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Henrik Zetterberg took a few well-deserved deep breaths before he packed his bags in the Detroit Red Wings' dressing room.
After seven games, four overtimes, three trips to California, countless momentum swings and a few frantic minutes at the close of Game 7, the Red Wings finally finished off Anaheim.
Their captain scored an early goal and made a late mistake, but the Wings survived to earn a second-round series much closer to home.
Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and an assist, and the Red Wings eliminated the Ducks with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.
Justin Abdelkader scored a short-handed goal and Jimmy Howard made 31 saves as the seventh-seeded Red Wings won three of the first-round series' final four games to oust the Ducks, who had the NHL's third-best record in the regular season.
For the first time in the series, the Red Wings didn't even need overtime to win. They largely dominated the anti-climactic clincher — until Zetterberg's delay-of-game penalty allowed Anaheim to get within one goal.
"We did a great job getting off to a good start, and then we protected it there at the end," said Zetterberg, who scored three goals in the series' final two games after getting blanked in the first five. "A lot of us have been in tough situations like this before, so we knew how to play this type of game."
Detroit faces top-seeded Chicago in the second round, and the Red Wings already are relishing the prospect of shorter flights during their final postseason in the Western Conference.
NEW YORK — Henrik Lundqvist stopped 27 shots in earning his seventh NHL playoff shutout, and Derick Brassard scored a second-period goal for New York, which stayed alive with a victory over Washington that forced a Game 7 in the first-round series.
Brassard handed Lundqvist the lead at 9:39 of the second period, with a goal that was originally credited to struggling forward Rick Nash.
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner made it stand up, and helped send the series back to Washington for the deciding game Monday night.
The home team has won all six games in the series.
The game ended with a melee in the far left corner in the New York zone after the final buzzer had sounded.
TORONTO — Captain Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel scored third-period goals and Toronto edged Boston to send the playoff series back to Boston for Game 7.
Game 7 is Monday night in Boston.
Milan Lucic scored for Boston with 26 seconds left in the third.
The Maple Leafs have momentum after two consecutive wins.
James Reimer made 29 saves for the Maple Leafs.
For Phaneuf, scoring a goal was a bit of redemption after being involved in the play that led to the Bruins' overtime winner in Game 4.
Phaneuf's goal at 1:48 of the third period came after Nazem Kadri ripped a wrist shot that was tipped in by Phaneuf, who had made his way to the front of the goal after continuing his rush.
Kessel then added to the lead at 8:59, picking up the puck after James van Riemsdyk dealt with two Bruins in front of goal and backhanded it past Tuukka Rask.
Kadri beat Patrice Bergeron on the faceoff to start the play.
Rask finished with 24 saves.

Anna Parkina: Only A Sleeping Person Doesn't Blink
In her works Anna Parkina explores human ability to create subjective reality. It largely depends on the visual angle and distance between object and our eyes. It's hard to imagine that layers which we're unable to see and which therefore don't exist for us are hiding behind visible images: the tree is out
of sight because the wall is covering it.
The way Anna Parkina makes collages, fragments become patterns. Incidental
objects in one environment determine the topography of another.

02 Oct A New Vintage Haven Has Emerged!
ATFDC Contributor Beth Beru
If there are two things I love more than my family, friends and God himself it would be food and fashion. So anytime these two cross paths I feel like it's love at first sight. And my friends I am in love! The new love of my life is Via Gypset. A two floor vintage consignment shop with quality pieces for both men and women. My secret haven of fantastic fashion finds is new to the Adams Morgan area gracing Calvert St. a little over a month ago. Owner Isabella Polles has brought her admiration for fashion to this " vintage and consignment retail showroom that seeks to inspire individuals to tap into their creative side by expressing themselves through elements based upon fashion, art, style, and design." The first floor features more high end pieces such as Gucci and Escada for our high-rollers. The second floor offers a greater variety of pieces for both men and women under $100. There is something for everyone and I encourage vintage seekers to stop by.
And after a few hours of shopping, a girl gets hungry. No need to look far because right below Via Gypset is Cafe Sorriso, a bar, pizzeria and restaurant also owned by Isabella and her family (their Nutella gelato is heavenly)! This family-affair cafe is great for a small bite or if you want to take a stab at the all-day breakfast, the well-crafted menu is a win when it comes to a good meal.
Normally I would keep this boutique a secret but I think this is a love I am willing to share. So make a date of it and head over to Via Gypset for everything from clothes to shoes and accessories. Walk-in this showroom only to leave feeling like you have found your new closet of revolving clothes. Great pieces you'll love to show off but don't want to share. These pieces are just that great!

- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Mixed-handedness (Score:5, Interesting)by Anonymous Coward on Friday March 22, 2013 @06:28PM (#43252453)
I am apparently "mixed-handed", according to Wikipedia. I can only write left-handed, and I prefer to use a fork left-handed, but for everything else I'm right-handed.
Missing option (Score:5, Interesting)by Capt.DrumkenBum (1173011) on Friday March 22, 2013 @06:32PM (#43252497)Strongly right handed, but force myself to use my left hand.
I have found it smart to work on making my left hand more useful. I spend a lot of my free time working on old cars, and motorcycles. Sometimes you just can't reach with your right hand, and it is very "handy" to have developed a reasonable amount of dexterity in your non-dominant hand.
Re:Missing option (Score:5, Interesting)I have the same opinion. My trick is to focus on my left hand thumb before I try doing anything detail specific with my left hand. In focusing on the thumb, I find it easier to wrap my mind around using it like my right hand. Generally it works pretty well.
Re:Right handed, but left eyed and eared (Score:5, Interesting)by vikingpower (768921) <.exercitussolus. .at. .gmail.com.> on Friday March 22, 2013 @06:55PM (#43252719) Homepage JournalYour comment makes me think. Only after my right ear became half-deaf ( "noise-deaf" ) in the French Foreign Legion, from shooting rifles and rocket-launchers without ear protection, the left-handed side of my body gradually became more skilled, as if by compensation. I had never before thought on the possible link between hearing acuity and handedness. This is the most thought-provoking Slashdot poll I ever read
I was on the fence (Score:5, Interesting)It's kind of tricky because I tended to be ambidextrous at a young age and would switch hands when writing. The teachers forced me to use my right hand, grew up in the 60s. I'm naturally left handed and have all the left handed traits. I can sculpt equally well with both hands, I often work both sides of a large sculpture at the same time, and use tools with both. I fence and both shoot pistols and bow equally well right and left handed. What I find is everyone is born with a dominate hand but left handed people are often forced to use their right hand and tend to be ambidextrous more often than right handed people. It makes a straight answer difficult but since I can do most things equally well with either hand I had to answer ambidextrous. It comes in handy because when one hand gets tired I can switch without breaking stride. It's upsetting teachers especially in the past tend to pressure kids to be right handed.
I was switched... (Score:4, Interesting)by theshibboleth (968645) on Friday March 22, 2013 @07:31PM (#43253067)I was switched by a stupid teacher from left-handed to right-handed... I blame some of my coordination issues on this. I assume this poll is asking about current usage as opposed to biological predisposition; if the former I'm moderately right-handed; if the latter I'm left-handed. Interestingly even so there are still certain things I do instinctively with my left hand like holding objects, etc. I write with my right hand, but in general I feel almost like I'm doing the equivalent of brute-force attacks when I use my right hand.
Handedness and (language related) profession (Score:3, Interesting)I'm left-handed and have noticed that a lot of other people in the English education field here in Japan are also left-handed. At one school 9 out of 10 of the teachers were left-handed and I went to a seminar recently where all 6 attendees were left-handed. Are there any other language teachers here? Have you noticed anything similar?

I trained as a sniper long ago.I can shoot equally well either way.I can put a bullet where I want is up to a mile range without a scope.Any longer range using a scope,I'm definitely right handed.
I learned how to write left handed when I was in the first grade after my right hand was crushed by a home delivery milk truck in the early 1960s.Took forever to heal and I've kept it up.Drives the banks crazy because I sign the checks I write with either hand.Love messing with their heads.
My late Mother was left handed but was retrained to write right handed.My sister Terry is definitely a lefty.
Handedness may be hard wired but can be modified.I'm a prime example.

Christine Quinn and Louis A. Bradbury, will be honored with Douglas W. Jones Leadership Awards
As the first openly LGBT Speaker of the New York City Council, Christine Quinn fought tirelessly to improve the lives of LGBT New Yorkers, as she has for her entire professional career. As former Director of the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, she worked to end bias crimes citywide and brought special attention to the problem of anti-LGBT violence. During her years as Chair of the New York City Council Health Committee, she secured vital funding for HIV and AIDS services. More recently, as Council Speaker, she was at the helm of some of our community's most historic victories, including ensuring dignity and protections against bullying for all students, and New York's momentous marriage victory in 2011.
Louis A. Bradbury is a pillar of New York's LGBT community. For years he has lent his time, resources and considerable talent to many organizations that provide critical services to our community, including as President of The Calamus Foundation, which under his leadership funds numerous important initiatives by LGBT groups, ranging from SAGE to The LGBT Community Center, to the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund; as President of the Board of GMHC; and as Chair of the Board of the Empire State Pride Agenda, which under his leadership helped to secure passage of the Dignity for All Students Act and Marriage Equality Act, as well as increased funding for our community's health and human service needs and LGBT homeless and runaway youth.

Table Captain FAQ
What Does A Table Captain Do?
A Table Captain agrees to buy his/her own ticket and tries to sell at least nine additional tickets to his/her friends to fill a table of ten people. Ambitious Captains try to fill two or more tables. Many Sponsors are also Table Captains.
How Can I Be a Successful Table Captain?
First, let the Pride Agenda know that you want to serve as a Table Captain. As soon as possible, begin to informally invite friends to sit with you at the dinner (a "save the date!" email works well). Try to get a firm commitment and let them know that you will be sending them a formal invitation in early September. Sponsorships are available now and begin at $1,500. General tickets will go on sale September 16 and the price will be $750.
Throughout the coming months, we will send you updates on the event, and we will help you keep track of your table's progress by listing your name and your guest names on our website.
When Will I Receive Invitations to Mail Out?
The Pride Agenda will send you the number of invitations you have requested in mid-September. They will be either mailed or sent via messenger to you, unless you prefer to pick them up in the Pride Agenda office. Please give us an address where a package can be received because a standard NYC mailbox is usually too small to hold the package of invitations. Please mail the invitations as soon as you receive them; we recommend including a short a personalized note about why you support the Pride Agenda. We will also send out the invitation in an email format.
Am I Personally Obligated To Pay for the Entire Table if I Don't Sell All Ten Seats?
No! While you are agreeing to use your best efforts to fill an entire table, you have no financial obligation for any unsold seats. If need be, we will fill your table with overflow guests from other tables. Or, you can combine your table with a friend's table. Of course, if you fill more than one table, we will place those tables together!

24 September 2013 23:02 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US methyl methacrylate (MMA) contract values settled flat for September on improved availability that balanced the market after supply constraints in August, sources confirmed on Tuesday.
Stable market conditions prevailed after a force majeure declaration by a major producer last month, yielding no September price-hike nominations and holding truck prices steady from August at $1.22-1.26/lb ($2,690-2,778/tonne, €1,991-2,056/tonne), as assessed by ICIS.
In August, MMA contracts were assessed up by an average of 2 cents/lb, although price-hike initiatives of 5-6 cents/lb were announced.
Buyers said supply is ample, and demand remains essentially flat in architectural coatings, a major downstream market for MMA in the US.
However, an index of future US construction activity rose by 2.1% in August, indicating stronger economic conditions, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) said this week. The AIA's Architectural Billings Index (ABI), a reflection of contracted architectural design services, increased to 53.8 for August from 52.7 in July.
The upturn signals an imminent turnaround in non-residential construction activity, the AIA said, although the strength of the architectural coatings market is typically linked to the construction of single-family homes.
Among feedstock, September barge acetone talks were well underway, but only one buy-side settlement was confirmed slightly lower so far, and US methanol spot barge prices inched higher during the week.
Major US MMA producers include Lucite, Arkema, Dow Chemical and Evonik.

"Ashok Gadgil's long record of inventive solutions to problems in the developing world is an example of how passion coupled with creative problem solving can have a colossal impact," states Joshua Schuler, executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program. "Dr. Gadgil truly encompasses what it means to be a global innovator."
Inspiring Youth to Make an Impact on Mankind
Equally important to making a global impact for Gadgil is inspiring the next generation to innovate for social change. As a professor, Gadgil helps his students identify and pioneer solutions to important societal problems to ensure their research has maximum impact on the world. In Gadgil's courses, students gain hands-on experience innovating solutions to improve the sustainability of resource-constrained communities, with the ultimate goal being real-world dissemination of the products and processes developed.
"Ashok is a teacher and mentor who has awakened and excited young, perceptive minds to the possibilities of using science to alleviate suffering and human impact on the environment," said Richard Corsi, Gadgil's colleague and a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. "His substantial efforts to benefit those less fortunate inspire everyone around him to want to do more for mankind."

If people followed these moralities, there would also be no violence or many other things in videogames either.
Really, how is a sex scene, worse than all the blood and violence?
If you're gonna speak of morality, don't just pick and chose whichever are convenient to you.
This is what I don't like about current wester society, apparently watching humans (or other creatures) being violently killed or dismembered is a-ok, but show a female nipple and you've gone too far, that's too mature for anyone to handle or something...
What's wrong with having porn in videogames? Also there's barely any, compared to any other medium.

Yeah, and you know what will happen if one day someone on mainstream TV sees a nipple? You know what will happen to the children?

Yarou...Didn't one of the main series Pokemon games have to be altered to remove "gambling" from it? As it happens, I believe this happened to make the game OK for the European market! This is ironic as the game we are talking about is a European developed title. As to the comparison of violence in games vs sexual content...well, the issues are not comparable as different "norms" affect how they are viewed. None of this makes a lot of sense but our great hobby marches on...
King David, my hero.
unchartedpwns posted...
Because sex sells.
If a game's not good enough for a physical release, then it's not good enough for me.
Official KH3 Aerith, apparently? How...?
Because according to the children and virgin basement dwellers playing these games, porn is "mature".
DerPancake posted...
Seriously? Witcher 2 amazing game, but come on why do devs think we want to watch naked pixels and then they turn it into a sex scene...
Because they are the developers of the game and have creative control over the content that they introduce into their product.
I can completely understand why someone might be against explicit images and depictions of various elements (nudity, death, gore, etc.) within video games, but it must be understood that any video game, no matter how great, will always possess a quality that one individual or another will not particularly enjoy. This includes sexual content. Still, it this does not take precedence over the fact that the developers can pick and choose what kind of content exists in their game.
Also, let us not forget the fact that sex really does sell at a substantial degree. People, particularly men, love to see the female figure, especially those with seductive forms. In light of the staggering amount of debates over the subject, it cannot be ignored that no matter how much people complain about the rampant display of sexual content in a given video game a part of the reason that it will sell will be for the specific reason.
Oh, and the game is rated "M" for "Mature." Come on, if you can expect blood and gore then you can certainly expect a little skin every now and then.
Life isn't easy, but it sure is beautiful
'Cause it's finger-lickin' good.
Everybody's got their own conceptions. And you know they always will.
it ain't porn, it's fanservice!
also, rule 34. if the devs don't do it, someone else will do it and it's gonna be worse than what the devs can come up with and so they might as well go all the way and not let their own creations produce half-assed porn
Is the entire gist of this topic that someone managed the incredible feat of buying the witcher 2 without knowing that there would be at least one sex scene?

mdeth1313wrote a review of CEP Dynamic+ Bib Shorts on November 23, 2013
Too much compression
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I usually wear either a medium or large in bib shorts (5'7", 149 lbs), so I ordered CEP's size II and III. Forget about the II. I managed to get the size III on, but they're so freaking tight you can't move. I didn't use them because I wouldn't be able to return them, I but I could tell just by walking over to the mirror in them that the compression was so great that they would be restrictive to the pedaling motion and end up slowing me down. I have other bibs that offer compression-- garneau, desoto, giordana and none of them are this bad. I can also see these ending up ripping or tearing while trying to put them on your body. I read the description and I get it, they're supposed to be tight and you're not supposed to worry about how tough it is to get them on, but this was, in no uncertain terms, ridiculous.
I have cep calf sleeves and love them. These missed the mark-- COMPLETELY.

Advice & Support
MRI scan is the best way to locate
multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions (also called plaques)
in the brain or spinal cord. An MRI scan shows multiple brain lesions in more
than 90% of people who have MS.1
But abnormal MRI results do not always mean that you have
MS. Abnormalities show up on scans from many illnesses other than MS. An
abnormal finding on an MRI scan alone is not enough to diagnose MS. Your doctor
will confirm a diagnosis of MS based on your symptoms, your neurological
exam, and the results from an MRI and other tests.
When abnormal MRI results occur along with a medical history,
abnormal nervous system exam, and other test results that are typical of MS, it
is very likely that you have MS.
If you have already been diagnosed with MS, MRI scans can sometimes
distinguish new lesions from older ones and can help your doctor(s) follow the
progress of the disease. Continuing to have periodic MRI scans if you have
relapsing-remitting MS may help identify new lesions
even when you are not having symptoms from those new lesions.
If you have had just one episode of MS-like symptoms and are trying
to decide whether to start treatment with medicine, MRI scans can be
helpful in assessing the progress of the disease. If new lesions are developing
or if existing lesions are growing—regardless of whether you have had further
episodes of MS symptoms—most doctors will recommend that you begin treatment.

SAN FRANCISCO - OCTOBER 11: Vernon Davis #85 ofthe San Francisco 49ers is tackled by Thomas DeCoud #28 of the Atlanta Falcons at Candlestick Park on October 11, 2009 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
Vernon Davis is anxious to get back on the field with the San Francisco 49ers and help them build momentum for the playoffs during Sunday's regular-season finale against Arizona. He still has to be cleared to play first. Davis practiced in a non-contact black jersey for the second consecutive day Friday and is taking the necessary steps, according to NFL-mandated protocol, to return from a concussion he sustained during last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers have a pressing need for their starting tight end to return after the team placed starting receiver Mario Manningham on injured reserve early Friday, leaving San Francisco without its second-leading receiver for the rest of the season.

- For the religious term, see Intercession
Intermediation involves the "matching" of lenders with savings to borrowers who need money by an agent or third party, such as a bank.[1]
If this matching is successful, the lender obtains a positive rate of return, the borrower receives a return for risk taking and entrepreneurship and the banker receives a return for making the successful match.[1] If the borrower's speculative play with the depositor's funds does not pay off, the depositor can lose the savings borrowed by the borrower and the bank can face significant losses on its loan portfolio.[1]
The skill of identifying potential successful new entrepreneurs who can take market share off competitors or develop whole new markets is one of the most vital (and intangible) skills any banking system can possess.[1]

I know…. you read that title and are thinking, "why is she talking about the holidays already? I'm just trying to figure out what to make using pumpkin right now!" Well, for the bargain hunter that likes to save money, it's never too early to be thinking about the holiday season.
Last-minute shoppers tend to pay a premium for their purchases, so it's time for us to be savvy shoppers and save some money in advance. Here are a few tips to help you prepare for this holiday season, and start getting that gift closet filled up with deals.
1. DON'T make a "to buy" list. Most people say to make yourself a gift list. If you do this, then you are totally limiting your possibilities. You'll only be focusing on finding those items you are looking for deals on, and won't be ready when the perfect deal comes along. Keep in mind the people you need to shop for yes, but don't limit yourself as to what you can get for him or her. The best gifts I've been able to get for people are spur of the moment bargains that I find. These always make the most meaningful gifts as well, because I'm getting something I genuinely think the giftee will enjoy.
2. Do set yourself up with a (dare I say it?) budget. Don't scream, freak out and turn away. A budget doesn't have to be a scary thing. It can actually be kind of fun trying to stay within a budget and still get amazing gifts for people. A few years ago, I was able to bless 5-6 people in our extended family with really nice gifts, and I had spent a total of $3. Make it an adventure!
3. Bookmark your favorite deal sites to follow, and stick with them this holiday season. Trying to follow too many sites can be overwhelming, and you're liable to miss a lot of the really good deals if you spread yourself too thin. Savings.com DealPros know where it's at when it comes to deals, so find your favorite DealPro bloggers to follow here.
4. Don't be afraid of consignment and antique shops. You can find some of the best bargains and coolest items if you will get a little adventurous and shop "outside the box" store. Check out the deal I got recently when I went on my own adventure looking for deals on Antiques in Georgia.
5. Be ready for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Free Shipping Day. We know that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming. We also know that Free Shipping Day comes along in December, too. Be fully prepared for the deals to be crazy on these days, and have your online shopping plan in place: pick your sites to follow to find deals, have a general idea of the types of deals you are looking for, and have coffee in hand.
And remember, for a DealPro – every day is Black Friday. Deals abound year-round, and you can always find amazing deals online with our Savings.com DealPros. What's an awesome deal that you got recently?

In all, the study focused on 136 risk factors, including demographics (age, race, gender), smoking and alcohol use, access to care and type of cancer treatment (radiation and/or surgery). Tumor characteristics, including stage, biology and genetics, also were examined.
Much of the disparities seen among African Americans with head and neck cancer can be traced to access to care barriers, including insurance, that prevent them from getting timely and high-quality medical care, often resulting in late stage diagnosis.
Henry Ford researchers found that:
While 88% of African Americans in the study had medical insurance, the majority had Medicare or Medicaid instead of private health insurance.
African Americans also were more likely to be unmarried or living alone, both of which previous studies suggest have a negative impact on quality of life and survival.
In terms of cancer treatment, African Americans in this study were more than two times more likely than Caucasians to receive radiation therapy. Often times, if the tumor is extensive or it is not feasible to completely remove it, radiotherapy is initially given to try to shrink the tumor. The study showed fewer African Americans (43%) opted for surgery than Caucasians (49%).
The tumor tissue samples also held important clues. African American tumors were six to seven times more likely to present with lymphocytic response, which essentially is an entourage of immune system cells. These cells behave not only as first responders against tumors, but can also produce growth factors (chemicals) that feed tumor growth, such as forming blood vessels.
Compared to Caucasian tumors, African American tumors were almost two times more likely to have loss of the CDKN2A (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A) gene and gain of the SCYA3 (small inducible cytok

Edgar drops down to meet champion Aldo at UFC 156
BURBANK, Calif. Jose Aldo was born deep in Brazil's Amazon rain forest, while Frankie Edgar is from the Jersey Shore. Both learned how to fight on the streets long before they ever stepped in a cage, and both UFC stars quickly picked up an important survival lesson.
"It's always better to fight somebody your own size," Aldo said with a grin.
As the first featherweight champion the UFC has ever recognized, Aldo occupies a unique niche in mixed martial arts history. Edgar is one fight away from earning a rare distinction of his own when they meet at UFC 156 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
After several years of being an undersized lightweight who improbably rose to the top of his division with relentless conditioning and pure will, Edgar is finally picking on guys closer to his own size.
With an upset win over Aldo, Edgar could add the 145-pound title to the 155-pound belt he once held, putting him alongside Randy Couture and B.J. Penn as the only fighters to win championships in two weight classes.
"I don't know if I'll be the biggest at 145 pounds, but I won't be as out-sized as I was at 155," Edgar said. "I'm definitely looking forward to it. This is something I've been thinking about for a while, and it's great to start right at the top with Jose."
The undercard of the UFC's annual Super Bowl-adjacent show features Rashad Evans' comeback fight against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and heavyweight Alistair Overeem's return from a nine-month suspension for a failed drug test to meet Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.
The main event matches two of the UFC's most prominent smaller fighters. Edgar (14-3-1) is an underdog yet again in his seventh consecutive UFC title fight, while the dominant Aldo (21-1) faces arguably his toughest test as a champion after fighting just once in 2012.
"He'll fight all five rounds the same way," Aldo said. "He doesn't give up. He's a champion of a higher division, and that's motivation for me. He has a great reputation. This was a fight I really wanted."
One day shy of exactly six years since his UFC debut, Edgar will take on another daunting challenge after narrowly losing his last two fights to lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
Aldo is in the UFC's top handful of pound-for-pound fighters despite a 13-month absence from the cage caused by a series of injuries. His kicks are among the most vicious in MMA, and his overall agility in the cage can be stunning to opponents and fans alike.
But ever since Edgar broke an orbital bone in his face during his MMA debut in an unsanctioned bout in the Bronx, he has been willing to do just about anything to win a fight. He claims it's part of his upbringing - not in his loving childhood home, but in simply growing up in New Jersey.
"That's kind of the culture of the East Coast," he said with a laugh. "To fight on the boardwalk is part of what we do."
