Dear Mr. Jean-Luc Belingard:
During an inspection of bioMerieux conducted at 100 Rodolphe Street, Durham, NC on January 24 – March 06, 2012, investigators from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm manufactures various in vitro diagnostic devices. These products are devices within the meaning of Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 321(h)] in that they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or are intended to affect the structure or function of the body.
This inspection revealed that these devices are adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(h) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 351(h)] in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, packing, storage, or installation are not in conformity with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements of the Quality System (QS) regulations found at Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 820 (21CFR Part 820).
A Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations, was issued to Marc Mackowiak, President and CEO, at the close of the inspection (copy enclosed). We have received your firm's response letters dated March 20, 2012; May 9, 2012; and July 25, 2012, concerning our investigators' observations identified on the FDA 483. We address these responses below, in relation to each of the noted violations. The violations documented on the FDA 483 issued include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action, as required by 21 CFR 820.100(a), in that:
- At least twenty-five (25) non-conformances have been written and seven CAPAs have been opened for BacT/ALERT production lots that failed to meet (b)(4) requirements due to low (b)(4) in finished bottles. Adequate corrective and/or preventive actions have not been implemented within the manufacturing process.
We agree with your proposal in your March 20th letter to establish additional in-process specifications which can significantly control the process and reduce the number of production lots that subsequently require rework. This action will require further evaluation and verification.
- A non-conformance for faulty seams in plastic bottles was discovered in December 2009. CAPA 2270 was opened 12/2009 and the investigation concluded that a molding tool correction was needed at the supplier. The faulty bottles were continually used in production throughout Feb-Mar 2010 and no corrective or preventative measures were implemented at the firm after becoming aware of the non-conforming materials.
We agree with your proposal to add workmanship standards to incoming QC which should minimize the potential of using faulty bottles prior to beginning production. This action will require further evaluation and verification.
- Approximately thirty two (32) customer complaints have been documented on BacT/ALERT FA bottles indicating initial value false positives in 2010. CAPA 2704 was opened in January 2011. No corrective or preventative actions were implemented and the CAPA was closed several months later (August 2011). In 2011, approximately thirty two (32) customer complaints were received and in Dec 2011, a second CAPA (483555) was opened to evaluate BacT/ALERT FA initial value false positive complaints on 12/1/11.
We have evaluated your firm's responses pertaining to this observation; however additional information is needed to determine the adequacy of your proposed corrective actions. For example, we request additional details concerning your proposal to revise the BacT/ALERT FA Package Insert, as described in your July 25th response letter.
- CAPA 2612 was initiated on 9/20/2010 due to an increase in frequency of filter replacements as a result of increased filter pressure readings noted during manufacturing. The "most likely root cause" for the increase in pH failures was due to the creation of conditions within the filter trains. However, the failure mode was noted in March and April 2011, and the CAPA was reopened. The root cause for the pH shift was determined "most likely due to an increase in microbial buildup on the prefilter". Several additional actions, including new (b)(4), revising cleaning process, and decontaminating (b)(4) tank have been added to the PM schedule.
Your responses to this observation are inadequate. Your response letters do not adequately describe the actions your firm has taken to address CAPAs which have been open an extended amount of time.
2. Failure to adequately validate and approve according to established procedures a process whose results cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and test, as required by 21 CFR 820.75(a). Additionally, your firm failed to adequately document process validation activities and results, as required by 21 CFR 820.75(a).
Specifically, the Line 1B BacT/ALERT validation activities are incomplete and the available data does not demonstrate the repeatability of manufacturing resulting in acceptable product.
We have evaluated your firm's responses pertaining to this observation; however additional information is needed to determine the adequacy of your proposed corrective actions.
3. Failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures to control product that does not conform to specified requirements including the identification, documentation, evaluation, segregation and disposition of non-conforming product as required by 21 CFR 820.90(a). Specifically, there was no documentation showing Stack (b)(4), consisting of approx. (b)(4) units, from BacT/ALERT SN Lot 1030140 being reworked for (b)(4) seepage.
Your responses to this observation are inadequate. Your response fails to explain how meeting AQL Accept/Reject acceptance criteria for the Complete Bottle Inspection, Rack Inspection, and Final QC AQL indicates that 100% visual inspection for (b)(4) seepage was not necessary.
4. Failure to establish and maintain procedures that set forth the review and disposition process of nonconforming product including documenting the disposition of nonconforming product, as required by 21 CFR 820.90(b)(1). There were no written records showing an investigation being initiated for BacT/ALERT SN Lot 1028441 and BacT/ALERT SA Lot 1028407 when the amounts destroyed due to low pH was less than the starting amount on the Invert Pallet to Finished Good Pallet Worksheet.
Your responses to this observation are inadequate. Your response stated that it implemented changes to its Labeling and Packaging Operating Procedures #009189 to enhance documentation of material and segregation traceability of nonconforming product. However, neither the response nor the procedure identified how you would ensure reconciliation and disposition of nonconforming product including those destroyed, sampled, or reworked.
5. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for rework, to include retesting and reevaluation of the nonconforming product after rework, to ensure that the product meets its current approved specifications as per 21 CFR 820.90(b)(2).
A. The releasing of reworked BacT/ALERT batches due to low (b)(4) was based on new acceptance criteria that did not meet current (b)(4) finished product specifications.
We have evaluated your firm's responses pertaining to this observation; however additional information is needed to determine the adequacy of your proposed corrective actions. Specifically, your responses do not appear to identify the root cause of the nonconforming products failing to meet Release C specifications.
B. BacT/ALERT lots that were reworked due to (b)(4) failures were not being evaluated for stability, for example, BacT/ALERT PF Lot 1029155, BacT/ALERT FA Lot 1027384, & BacT/ALERT MB Lots 1027090.
We have evaluated your firm's responses pertaining to this observation; however additional information is needed to determine the adequacy of your proposed corrective actions.
Additionally, rework and reevaluation activities have not been fully documented in the device history record as required by 21 CFR 820.90(b)(2). Specifically, verifications of start up procedures / settings and line clearance prior to the reworking of BacT/ALERT batches on the (b)(4) System, (b)(4) System, and (b)(4) were not being documented.
Your response to this observation is inadequate.
6. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for verifying the device design as required by 21 CFR 820.30(f). In addition, design verification activities failed to confirm that design output meets the design input requirements as required by 21 CFR 820.30(f).
A. Specifically, stability tests involving BacT/ALERT PF Lot 1026693, BacT/ALERT SA Lot 1025619, and BacT/ALERT FA Lot 1025702 were accepted based on stability specifications that did not meet (b)(4) finished product specifications.
Your response to this observation is inadequate. Your response indicates that the BacT/ALERT bottles go through some degradation and would not meet the current Release C finished product specifications, due to aging. However, your response failed to show that the changed pH criteria in stability testing have been validated to meet cleared device performance specifications.
B. Specifically, some of the (b)(4) finished product testing requirements were not part of the stability testing program for BacT/ALERT products. For example: (b)(4) and (b)(4) testing were not being performed during the stability testing of BacT/ALERT PF Lot 1026693 and BacT/ALERT FA Lot 1025702; (b)(4), and (b)(4) were not being performed during the stability testing of BacT/ALERT MB Lot 1025090.
Your response to this observation is inadequate. Your response indicates you agree to incorporate biochemical parameters into your stability monitoring program. However, it appears that you have not revised TR 50.143 (LLDC 011180) Product Stability Program to include these parameters and only provided 2012 stability protocols for three of your products which included the referenced protocols.
7. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for changes to a specification, method, process, or procedure, as required by 21 CFR 820.70(b). Changes were made to the recipe specification for 'final (b)(4) in the (b)(4), which was established at validation at (b)(4). The current operational setting is 8 seconds. There was no documentation for the change.
Your responses to this observation are inadequate. Our review of change control document, CC03400, revealed that the change control was done on the change of (b)(4) setting from (b)(4) seconds to (b)(4) seconds.
Your firm should take prompt action to correct the violations addressed in this letter. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory action being initiated by the FDA without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, seizure, injunction, and civil money penalties. Also, federal agencies may be advised of the issuance of Warning Letters about devices so that they may take this information into account when considering the award of contracts.
Please notify our office in writing within fifteen business days from the date you receive this letter of the specific steps your firm has taken to correct the noted violations, as well as an explanation of how your firm plans to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. Include documentation of the corrections and/or corrective actions (including any systemic corrective actions) that your firm has taken. If your firm's planned corrections and/or corrective actions will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of those activities. If corrections and/or corrective actions cannot be completed within fifteen business days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which these activities will be completed. Your firm's response should be comprehensive and address all violations included in this Warning Letter.
Your firm's response should be sent to: Derek Price, Compliance Officer, Atlanta District Office, 60 Eighth Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30309. If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, please contact: Compliance Officer Price by phone at (404) 253-2277 or by fax at (404) 253-1205.
Finally, you should know that this letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations at your firm's facility. It is your firm's responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA. The specific violations noted in this letter and in the Inspectional Observations, FDA 483, issued at the close of the inspection may be symptomatic of serious problems in your firm's manufacturing and quality management systems. Your firm should investigate and determine the causes of the violations, and take prompt actions to correct the violations and bring the products into compliance.

With horses invading from at least four countries as well as various parts of the U.S. for the Beverly D. Aug. 18, it is somewhat ironic that the 3-1 morning line favorite has been based at Arlington much of the summer.
Boosted by money from the Horse Racing Equity Trust Fund, Arlington Park has proposed a 2012 stakes schedule of 26 stakes races worth $5.8 million during the 90-day meet at the Chicago, Ill.-area track.

A quarter crack has kept Precious Kitten on the sidelines since her powerful 2 1/4-length victory in the May 26 Gamely (gr. IT) at Hollywood Park, but trainer Bobby Frankel says the morning line favorite for the Beverly D. Aug. 9 is fit and ready to go.
Multiple graded stakes winners Precious Kitten, Mauralakana and locally-based Eclipse Award champion Dreaming of Anna, plus the well-regarded European invader Cicerole, are the headline attractions in the Beverly D. Stakes (gr. IT) over the Arlington Park turf course.
Six-year-old Irridescence, who was beaten by a head in the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT) at Arlington Park Aug. 11, has been acquired in full by Richard Masson's Green Lantern Stable.
Coming into the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT), all the talk was about Citronnade and Lady of Venice, two talented American fillies who were undefeated this year. But when the field of seven reached the Arlington Park stretch Aug. 11, a European mare with only one win in the past two years stole the show.
In winning the $150,000 Beverly Hills Handicap (gr. IIT) July 1, Citronnade barely broke a sweat. On Aug. 11, trainer Bobby Frankel will find out if his superb 4-year-old filly will finally be challenged, as she headlines the field of seven in the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT) for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up on the turf at Arlington Park.

Galas like this don't exist in many parts of the country, but - in Saratoga - they make a Saturday betting horses a battle with fatigue. 'Hung over in Saratoga' is redundant.
Martin S. Schwartz's favored Gorella, last of a compact field at the top of the lane, surged past her rivals on the far outside to win the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT) by 1 3/4 lengths Saturday on the Arlington Park lawn.
Gorella and Honey Ryder plus a rising star from overseas top a deep line-up of 11 fillies and mares for Arlington Park's $750,000 Beverly D. Stakes (gr. IT) on Saturday.
Trainer H. Graham Motion has a contender in two of the three big races at Arlington Park's International Festival of Racing, so he's in a good spot to assess the relative quality of Saturday's fields.
Irish-based trainer Aidan O'Brien, who sent Mrs. John Magnier's Powerscourt to Chicago to win last summer's Arlington Million (gr. IT), is likely to send highly regarded candidates to all three of Arlington Park's International Festival of Racing grade I races on Aug. 12.
Arlington Park turf specialist Chic Dancer produced her first graded stakes victory in Saturday's $150,000 Modesty Handicap (gr. IIIT), holding off the late-charging favorite Louve Royale and Minge Cove by a half-length Saturday.
The International Festival of Racing, featuring the Arlington Million (gr. IT), tops a 2006 schedule that includes 26 stakes races worth $5,425,000 during 95 days of racing at Arlington Park, beginning May 5 and running through Sept. 12.
A little more than a year after breaking her maiden first out at Belmont, Melhor Ainda will start as the favorite in Saturday's $750,000 Flower Bowl Invitational (gr. I) at 11 furlongs on the turf at the New York track.
Saturday's NTRA National Pick 4 wager, offered in conjunction with the "Emirates Airline Super Saturday" series airing on ABC and ESPN through October, drew an enthusiastic response from fans, with a total handle of $1,162,771 and a payoff of $1,301.60 for each $1 winning ticket.
Angara's great closing kick served her well in the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT) Saturday as she defeated another great superb runner in Megahertz on a yielding Arlington Park turf.
A field of 10 fillies and mares has been drawn for Saturday's signature female turf race on the Arlington Park calendar, the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT). Sister to the prestigious Arlington Million (gr. IT) for the males on the card, the 1 3/16-mile test brings in a nice group--led postward by the Bobby Frankel-trained Melhor Ainda.
Thoroughbred racing returns to Arlington Park for its 78th season on Friday at 3 p.m. for the first of 94 days of racing that will continue at the northwestern Chicago oval through Sept. 18.
The International Festival of Racing, featuring the 23rd running of the Arlington Million (gr. I), tops a 2005 schedule that includes 25 stakes races worth $5,325,000 during 94 days of racing at Arlington Park from May 13 through Sept. 18.
Godolphin Racing's Crimson Palace found American racing to her liking Saturday, winning the $750,000 Beverly D. (gr. IT) in the closing strides at Arlington Park.

Moyglare Stud Farm Ltd.'s colt Simple Exchange, one of several prominent European invaders for Saturday's Secretariat Stakes (gr. IT), worked Wednesday at Arlington Park.

It was a deliciously lively and looney lark, which seemed to fully entertain the exceptionally attractive and well dressed audience the night I went.
Divorce Party The Musical – the hilarious journey to hell … and back! West Coast Premiere.
Conceived and written by Mark Schwartz, Amy Botwinick, and Jay Falzone … who also playfully directs … this maniacally humorous naughty and bawdy look at life after divorce "vibrates" with hilarity! Although I strongly feel that the first act would benefit by some trimming, and at times the sexual references pushed the boundaries of "titillating theater" … there are plenty of laughs to be had! The story centers on Linda, newly divorced and quite devastated by the experience. A flawlessly funny and excellent performance all round by Janna Cardia! Loved her! Her house is a total mess, her appearance is frumpy, her spirit is broken, and her passion for "Chubby Hubby" ice cream is out of control! When her three favorite gal pals arrive for the weekend to cheer her up with a whacky divorce and relocating party … the insanity takes off! Offering countless familiar hit tunes, with relatable new lyrics about marriage, men, sex, love, loss, sex toys, and "moving on" … we peer in on the "sisterhood of women" worldwide. Samara Dunn (as Courtney), Soara-Joye Ross (as Sheila), and Mary Jane Waddell (as Carolyn), each with sassy stories of their own to share … are all fabulously feisty! (And the entire cast can really sing!) Playing "The Boy Toy" … appearing as numerous quirky men … Scott Ahearn is a crowd-pleasing, non-stop riot! A total "scene stealer," he plays a pizza delivery guy, a hair stylist, a masseur, and a shockingly well built yoga instructor … just to name a few. So different in each role, it was hard to believe it was the same actor each time he appeared. Technical kudos are in order here too! Colorfully fun set design by Jonathan Collins, cool lighting by Kate Ashton, and the clearest and most crisp sound I've heard in a musical in ages, by Adam Rigby … all set the zany tone perfectly. 'Though as I said earlier, this naughty "slice of life" musical (not for the easily offended) could use a bit of tweaking in my opinion … It is without-a-doubt a funfilled theatrical option for a bawdy, fun loving "Girls Night Out!" Just for laughs … the producers have set up a "U-Be the Critic" site on Facebook, so audience members can voice their opinions on the show. You can also do so on cards set up in the lobby, where they're displayed for all to read. After final curtain, you can go to: Facebook.com/DivorcePartyTheMusical and "LIKE" their page and post your opinion. Great idea! Running Tuesday through Sundays at The El Portal Theatre through April 14 located at 5269 Lankershim Blvd. in NoHo. For tickets call (866) 811-4111 or go to elportal.theatre.com.
That's it for this time. Back next week with a full review of "Dreamgirls" opening at The Met Theatre in Hollywood, offered by Doma Theatre, I am super excited about this one! Loved the film (which was loaded with costume jewelry bought at my store….) I also saw it "live" in New York years ago, and caught a hot preview performance by this cast recently. They were sizzling! Can't wait!

This fantastic all-you-can eat buffet is tucked away on Chapel Market, a ten-minute walk from Angel tube station and a stone's throw from the more expensive restaurants of Upper Street. At an astonishingly low £6.50 for central London, you can grab a plate and start piling it high with delicious vegetarian Indian food. With around four or five curries, three types of rice, onion bhajis and many different salads, there is plenty to choose from. An impressive array of non-alcoholic drinks, juices and soft drinks fill the cooler and there are five kinds of homemade lassi available, including an enlightened soy mango one for those with a dairy intolerance. There is also a great selection of herbal teas all priced at £ 1.05. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own.
The brightly coloured and somewhat ramshackle decor is based around a theme of healthy eating. Signs line the walls informing you about benefits of vegetarian food and healthy eating, full of statistics and interesting and amusing facts. Posters listing images of British prime ministers and telling you about the 'best fertility foods for him and her' are a couple more wacky examples. From the ceilings hang wonderfully tacky neon-lit chandeliers.

Reportedly, the Grammy-winning singer has been considered to play the wife of the reggae legend in the first ever biopic film about him.
Following reports that the Weinstein Company have gotten the screen rights of Bob Marley's biopic "Untitled Bob Marley Biopic", it is now said that the Grammy-winning hip-hop singer Lauryn Hill is considered to star in the drama film. According to Hollywood Reporter, the "Doo Wop (That Thing)" hitmaker is thought to be suitable to portray Marley's wife, Rita.
The 32-year-old singer who is married to Marley's son Rohan has been considered for the special role by Rita herself. On the matter, Rita who will act as the film's executive producer revealed, "Lauryn would be ideal [to play me]. She sees my life as her life." On other casting news, it was said that Marley's grandson Stefan is one of the perfect candidates to depict the reggae legend as he was described as a "spitting image of Bob" by Rita.
The drama film which is slated for late 2009 release is a first-ever biographical feature film about Marley. It will be based on Rita's 2004 autobiography entitled "No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley" that chronicled the childhood and marriage life of Marley as well as his battle with cancer. It was said that the Jamaican singer will be played by two actors, one as a teenage Marley and the other as the adult one.

The Puck Stops Here
Pascal Dupuis And Chris Kunitz Have Top Adjusted +/- Ratings
by PuckStopsHere on 06/28/13 at 11:57 PM ET
Comments (0)
Yesterday I posted the top players by adjusted +/- rating last season. Leading the group is Pascal Dupuis of the Pittsburgh Penguins with a +24.0 rating and one point behind him is his linemate Chris Kunitz. While this shows that these two players are good hockey players who had good seasons, it is a major endorsement of Sidney Crosby. Crosby was their third linemate and played 36 of 48 games and finished sixth with a +19.0 rating. Since we are looking at a +/- counting number Kunitz and Dupuis continued to increase their totals with Crosby out.
Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kunitz are good puck possession players. Their stats were inflated by playing with top linemates - especially Sidney Crosby. I think this is evidence that Crosby is the best player in the NHL and should have won the MVP. His line was the best puck possession line in the NHL last season by +/- numbers. Alexander Ovechkin actually won the Hart Trophy and for the record he was a +0.6. This is evidence that the Hart Trophy was poorly decided.

Hi guys,
Two things from me.
Firstly, does anyone have a guide that they know works for unlocking an iPhone 2G on 3.1.3. I have Mac OSX. I've tried using Redsn0w 0.9.3 and that's not working.
Secondly, I am wanting to jailbreak and unlock an iPhone 3GS on 5.0.1.
- I have jailbroken successfully, and I have an iPhone 3GS on week 26 of 2009, does this mean it is now an untethered jailbreak? (all I have is jailbreak, not installed anything)
- I had a baseband that wasn't unlock able. I upgraded to the iPad baseband in redsn0w when I jailbroke, however, when I have tried using ultrasn0w it didn't unlock correctly. I saw that you can download a fix from Cydia, but I've also seen the fix involving SSH'ing into the phone. Can anyone confirm which method works, and which is the best?
- I also saw on the Dev Team blog, they said you should never use a stock IPSW when trying to unlock. I used the stock one from Apple when I jailbroke. Is this okay or should I use another IPSW?
Any links to guides/IPSW's would be appreciated.

Thank goodness the road work looks just about done on Ham Lane. But who painted those broken white lines and placed those reflectors northbound between Elm and Lockeford streets?
As a site manager, I'd ask that employee to take a Breathalizer test. As a taxpayer, I'd ask for my money back.

Letter: Blame Democrats, not GOP, for stalled stadium effort
In response to Norman Larson's letter published May 1, the Democrats had control of the Minnesota House and Senate for many years. The Vikings have attempted to get a new stadium for 10 years. What were the Democrats doing?
Racinos would be operating at the horse tracks now if the Democrats weren't taking contributions from the Native Americans. One day Minnesota will be known as the land of social services, Indian casinos and the state that had been the home of the Vikings.

Various Cheats and Hints for Resident Evil: The Director's CutHome / Playstation /
This page contains Resident Evil: The Director's Cut Hints for Playstation called "Various Cheats and Hints" and has been posted or updated on Aug 21, 2008 by rjassdaf.
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Genre: Action Adventure
- Release: Not Set
- ESRB: Mature
Various Cheats and Hints
One-Hit Gator Kill
When you fight the gator boss, he starts coming towards you and you see a yellow light on the left wall. If you inspect the light a cylinder will fall and the gator will eat it. While the cylinder is in its mouth, shoot it and the gator will explode!
Play as Hunk
To play as Hunk, beat the A and B games of either character (Leon or Claire) with an A rating on both. Hunk is one of the SWAT members from Umbrella who's mission is to get to the roof-top from the sewers.
Game Counter:
Complete the game one time. After you finish the game and restart, save over the old game, and you will get the "Next Game" along with 00-00 (meaning the start of a second game).
Film "D"
To get film "D", go to the STARS room, second floor of the Police building, and check the desk on the left 50 times. It is a picture of Rebecca
Double items
Highlight the "Arrange" option on the game mode screen and hold Right until the pointer turns green. Begin game play and double the normal amount of items, including ink ribbons and ammunition, will be available. Note: This does not effect other items, such as health sprays or herbs.
Change clothes
Rescue the other two players and finish the game. The phrase "You've got the special key" will appear after the credits. Save the game. Start the game that was just saved. Enter the room with the large mirror on the second floor of the mansion. Unlock the door in the back. Enter the closet and move all the way to the end of the rack of clothes. A message asking "There is an outfit that fits you perfectly, do you want to put it on?" will appear. Select "Yes" to change your character's clothes. Note: When playing the game with the "Arrange" option, your character will not have the key, but the door will be unlocked allowing clothes to be changed at any time. Enter the left-hand door on the right side (as you face the stairs) of the main hall. Shoot a few zombies (at the beginning) or a hunter (after entering the guard-house) to reach the room.
Reset game
Pause the game during play and press Start + Select. The game will reset and return to the main menu.
Controller configuration
Press Select + Start during game play.
Unlimited rocket launcher
Finish the game within three hours without rescuing anyone. A rocket will appear after the credits. Choose to continue playing after the game restarts. The rocket launcher will be available when the new game begins. Note that the rocket launcher does not shoot well upwards or downwards.
Unlimited magnum
Select "Arrange" mode and complete the game as either character in any amount of time. The unlimited magnum will be available when the game is replayed. This weapon makes it easier to complete the game in under three hours for the unlimited rocket launcher, at which point both weapons will be available for another game.
View ending sequence
Note: This trick requires the PlayStation Underground Jampacked disc featuring Tomba and Duke Nukem. Load the Jampacked disk and highlight the option for viewing the Tomb Raider FMV sequence. Place the Resident Evil: The Director's Cut disc in the PlayStation, wait briefly, then select the Tomb Raider FMV sequence option. This will display one of the ending sequences.
Killing Plant 42
Chris can save ammunition when fighting Plant 42 by using the combat knife. Only about a dozen hits with the knife are needed to kill it.
Go to the back stairs and enter the storage room. Get the chemicals from the corner. When you go to the room that the plant is in, before you walk into view of the plant, turn left. Go to the little pump and use the chemicals. The view will shift to the plant. The plant will turn red and die.
Instead of running all around the mansion looking for the chemicals, just use Grenade Launcher Incendiary rounds, or try a hit-and-run strategy with the knife.
Auto aim
Instead of having to turn around manually to shoot the zombies, hold R1 and your character will automatically aim their gun at the nearest zombie/danger. Tap L1 while continuing to hold R1 to have your character re-adjust his or her aim. This is a much faster way to fight quick enemies, and saves ammunition from missed shots.
Logging onto the computer:
To log in to the computer in the lab, and unlock the areas B1 and B2, use the following passwords.
1st: John
2nd: Ada
Getting the Star Crest
Go to the hall with the numerous paintings and crows. Put the switches behind the paintings in the following order: new born baby; infant; lively boy; young man; middle-aged man; bold looking old man.
Saving herbs
If herbs are not needed immediately when found, take some time to transport them to one of the Boxes. If you need to use them later, you will know where to find them.
Save ammunition as Jill
When playing as Jill, do not shoot the first zombie that is standing over Kenneth's body. Instead, run into the dining room. Barry will speak to Jill before the zombie comes though the door. Barry will shoot it three times, blowing off its head.
Save ammunition as Jill or Chris
Stand behind the statue in the room above the dining room. When the zombies come up on the other side, they will try to walk through the statue leaving you free to knife them to death.
Saved by Barry
After you see the first zombie and look for Wesker, go through the blue door, then go through the hall with the dogs. After you are through that hall, go to the end of the next one. When you reach the end, you will find two doors. Go through the single door and get the shotgun. Note: You do not need the broken shotgun to get it. You will see the bars go up. Ignore them and go back the way you came from and Barry will save you.
Infinite Submachine Gun:
Complete either scenario while using zero Health Sprays.
Infinite Rocket Launcher:
Complete either scenario in less than two hours and 30 minutes.
Infinitie Gatling Gun:
Complete either scenario without saving.
Reserve Power Control:
To activate reserve power, enter the sequence UP, DOWN, UP, UP, DOWN or UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, UP.
Safe Combination:
The combination for the safe is 2236.
Play as Tofu:
To play as Tofu, you beat 6 scenarios with an A ranking. Tofu's mission is the same as Hunk's -- get to the rooftop from the sewers. However, it's much harder this time as Tofu is only armed with a knife and cannot use guns!
If you go to the police station without taking anything on the way on normal (hard) difficult you'll get an surprise when you go down the stairs outside the station. and be sure to go in the police station to grab a shotgun or some ammo, you will need it.
Cure your self with out having to look into your inventory:
It's pretty easy,all you have to do is find one of those long pots of blue herbs and pick on and you will automatically cure your self. (Hint):There's is one just as you come in through the double doors near that bridge that you use the valve handle on. The other one is in the room where you get the flame-thrower.
Shoot the camera
You can shoot the camera in the hallway where the dogs first jump through the window. You have to be far away from the camera when the first dog jumps through. Kill the dog and try to point the gun at the middle of the screen. Bullet holes should appear for a split second.

Countries in a fragile state because of conflict or natural disaster and which had no part in causing the financial crisis are being hit by a slump in remittances and foreign investment, the World Bank is warning.
Aid revenues and grants for fragile and conflict-affected countries (FCC), most of which are low-income countries, shrank by an average of 4% of GDP between 2007 and 2008.
Alastair McKechnie, director of the FCC Group at the Bank, told Emerging Markets that remittances money sent back by workers who have gone abroad for jobs could contract by as much as 8% this year in sub-Saharan Africa, which is home to most FCCs.
The FCC category includes Afghanistan, Timor-Leste, Sudan, Somalia, Guinea and about 30 others countries. They account for a sixth of the worlds population but a third of all people surviving on less than $1 a day.
Many FCCs are heavily dependent on exports of commodities such as oil, cocoa, cotton and metals, whose prices has fallen substantially from pre-crisis levels although they have risen over the summer.
In the absence of appropriate countervailing action, the economic environment in many FCCs could further deteriorate, with associated risks of collapse and conflict relapses, McKechnie said.
The loss of remittances would undermine governments tax revenues which in turn would make it harder for them to meet rising unemployment bills and to pay for police and security forces, which may in turn fuel instability, he added.
McKechnie said the World Bank may need to ask for more donors. Axel van Trotsenburg, the Banks Vice President for Concessional Finance, last week told Emerging Markets that the bank may call for a short-term cash injection later this year to help it assist low-income countries hit by the crisis.
Potentially we may need to look outside [existing resources] and we are in the process of thinking through this and consulting with the donors on this, he said.
McKechnie said that the bank may need more resources specifically for FCCs, which had been hit by the crisis much later than middle- and low-income countries and had received support from either the IMF or the bank.
A key message is to use the resources they have to achieve the greatest impact on poverty and development, he said.
Globally the bank estimates that the crisis will add 90 million people to the 2010 poverty headcount. In sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the largest proportional increases in poverty are expected hit the FCCs.
Cape Verdes finance minister, Cristina Duarte, told a forum of small states on Sunday that remittances were a huge issue for her country.Well concentrate on analysing and discussing the role of remittanceshow can we better manage remittances, which are an important capitals inflow for our country.
She said that no single country could survive on its own, and so far, she says, her small state was fighting with success the international crisis.
McKechnie said the largest worry for FCCs was that now they had been weakened by the financial crisis, they were more vulnerable to the impacts of an unexpected natural disaster, who would sap its already depleted resources.
Lower growth and higher unemployment rates, notably among the youth, can have further destabilizing effects and increase the risk of conflict relapses, he said.

THE York Par-Tee Golf Society could well be christened 'none but the brave' after members defied the wretched weather to continue their winter tour.
Round five was in severe danger of being postponed when the original venue of Aldwark Manor Golf Club was flooded.
Tour organiser Martin Alderson-Crombie switched the venue to the Harrogate-based Rudding Park course, one of only a few in the area still open.
The conditions were the worst the Society has played in, but that did not prevent Paul Hillaby carding an impressive 34 points playing off a handicap of 18.
He finished seven points clear of second-placed Mark McLaren on 27, while four points further back was Gary Smith.
Jason Fletcher claimed the longest drive trophy on the seventh and Alderson-Crombie his third successive nearest the pin trophy with a six-iron shot to the par-three fifth.
Hillaby presently leads the tour by 14 points from Smith.
The sixth round of the tour will be held in January, date and venue to be announced.

Overall: I like it a lot so far. Good display, fast, good weight, decent keyboard.
The display is amazingly bright / crisp and displays video very well (You Tube). I give it an A on display quality.
Speed of the phone and apps I have loaded has been very good. I have not seen any lag at all.
The size of the display was known to me so I wont knock it for being small as I traded screen size for the built in qwerty keyboard. I had a slide out keyboard before and didnt use it as much as I thought I would and resorted to the stylus instead so I wanted to go back to the built in keyboard style and was willing to try a non-touch screen model.

The Luminous Life of James Hunt
With a little help from an English baron, Formula 1 racing�s last wild man overcame all the odds, except the final fatal ones.
Warr reckons that Hunt may have returned for the '79 season simply for the money, and perhaps to see if designer Postlethwaite, now working for Walter Wolf, had come up with a championship-winning design. He had not. Indeed, after five mechanical failures, one eighth place, and a crash, Hunt retired. Warr says, "James was one of the most intelligent racing drivers. He realized there is a crossover point in the success table vs. the risk table. When he found himself in a noncompetitive car taking the same risks for no return, he retired."
Hunt began living with his girlfriend, Jane Birbeck, in Spain. She became pregnant.
Hunt and Horsley were once again close. In 1980, Hunt was hired to pr-vide commentary for the BBC's television coverage of F1 racing. He would continue doing so until his death. Hunt was bold and original in his observations, and often controversial. He was offered £1.4 million by McLaren to return to driving in 1980 but turned it down.
Hunt broke up with Jane Birbeck after her third miscarriage. He wanted a child. He gave her a considerable sum of money, according to Horsley, as well as their house and half the health club they owned.
In 1982, he met 24-year-old Sarah Lomax on holiday in Spain. When she went to work in Washington, D.C., as an interior decorator, he flew over on weekends. They married in 1983 and had two sons, Tom and Freddie.
In 1985, Hunt apparently became a friend at Lloyd's, the British company famous for insuring literally anything. Risks are covered by "friends," wealthy individuals putting up personal assets. Friends are gathered into groups known as syndicates. Traditionally, Lloyd's was a business only the wealthiest ventured into. In the early '80s, unscrupulous syndicate managers lowered the bar on entry to attract a broader group of friends who would share in losses already anticipated but which had not yet shown up on the books. It might be three or four years before the full extent of a losing season was known. Hunt was one of those new friends. He paid £60,000 in losses into Lloyd's his first year and £120,000 the next.
Lord Hesketh feels that Hunt "had a lot of attractive qualities, one of which was I don't think he was very interested in money."
In his personal life Hunt began to drift and, by comparison with his life of old, to stagnate.
In 1988 his marriage collapsed. The divorce made headlines.
Horsley says, "I think it put a lot of strain on him. Huge stress. Emotional stress. Desperate about the future. It was almost as if he had gone back to a fight for survival, like the fight he had in his early Formula 3 days."
Hunt set up house in Wimbledon with an old friend, Mike Dennet, who was inclined to depression as much as he. According to Donaldson, when both suffered bouts, what Hunt called a dipper, simultaneously there was silence in the house for days. Hunt took to bingeing on alcohol.
He appeared to hit bottom when threatened with losing his share of custody of his two sons. He then turned inward and seemed to rekindle the determination, concentration, and energy that had been his hallmark as a driver. He gave up drinking and smoking and drugs.
In 1989, he fell in love with Helen Dyson, a 24-year-old fine-arts student who also worked as a waitress. He took their affair very seriously. In June 1993, she had gone to Greece with a girlfriend for a holiday. Hunt telephoned her and proposed. She was ecstatic.
Outside Horsley's home in the hills behind St. Tropez, it begins to rain. Horsley is still involved with March Engineering, but not as a racer. They are developing a system for recycling household garbage.
Horsley continues, skating stiffly over details of his good friend's final hours. He recounts that Hunt and Dennet played snooker at home through the afternoon and evening, a typical Hunt marathon. Around midnight, Hunt experienced chest pains. He called a medical friend. As he was talking on the telephone, he seemed to recover. He told his friend he felt all right again. They rang off.
The next morning, Horsley says, Dennet found Hunt beside his bed still in his dressing gown. "He never made it to bed, I think." He died of a massive heart attack.

After a wild and unpredictable year, it all comes down to this. Here are the top storylines as we look ahead to the final weekend of the college football regular season.
UAB announced on Tuesday it would shut down its football program, the first school to do since Pacific in 1995.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Even though it was a 3-1 loss against New England in the Desert Diamond Cup, Saturday night's game for the New York Red Bulls was another step in the right direction for new Brazilian midfielder Juninho Pernambucano.
He may have only played 45 minutes in the match against the New England Revolution, but it didn't take him long to impress. He scored a on a powerful and precise first-time blast in the 11th minute.
But it isn't just goalscoring prowess that the team is seeking from the former Lyon and Vasco da Gama player.
MATCH RECAP: Revolution 3, Red Bulls 1
"In the first half, Juninho was a pleasure to watch," said Red Bulls manager Mike Petke. "Forget about what he does with the ball. It's his awareness defensively, his movements defensively, to close down space, to be the first to the ball."
"Getting a hold of the ball, his vision," Petke continued. "Linking up with Thierry [Henry], [Fabián] Espíndola and [Tim] Cahill. It was nice to watch."
Juninho nearly scored a second goal late in the first half off a free kick.
WATCH: Full NE-NY match replay here
"It was a little taste for people to watch," Petke said of the attempt from his dead-ball specialist.
"He's an elite player," said RBNY goalkeeper Luis Robles. "The leadership and experience he brings to the field you could see in the first half. He dictates the play, he brings that type of steadiness that elite players bring. I think he's going to be great for us in the future."
The Red Bulls continue their Desert Diamond Cup campaign on Wednesday with a match against the Seattle Sounders (9 pm ET, live stream on MLSsoccer.com).

Law | Felony | Misdemeanor
Criminal law deals with those
statutes involving crimes against the public and
individuals with penalties and all the procedures
connected with charging, trying, sentencing and
imprisoning defendants convicted of crimes. The
harm that criminal law aims to prevent varies:
it may be physical harm, death, or bodily injury
to human beings; the loss of or damage to property;
sexual immorality; danger to the government; disturbance
of the public peace and order; or injury to the
public health.
Behavior that threatens to cause, but has not
yet caused, a harmful result may be enough to
constitute a crime. Thus, Criminal law often strives
to avoid harm by forbidding conduct that may lead
to harmful results.
Criminal law involves prosecution by the government
of a person for an act that has been classified
as a crime. Crimes are classified in many different
ways: common law crimes versus statutory crimes,
and crimes that are evil in themselves versus
those that are criminal only because the law says
so. An important classification is the division
of crimes into felonies or misdemeanors. This
distinction is based on the severity of the crime
and is rooted in common law. Persons convicted
of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both
if the prosecution proves them guilty beyond reasonable
doubt of every fact presented in the courtroom.
San Bernardino Criminal Lawyers
A Felony is a crime carrying
a minimum term of one year or more in state prison,
since a year or less can be served in county jail.
However, a sentence upon conviction for a felony
may sometimes be less than one year at the discretion
of the judge and within limits set by statute.
Felonies are sometimes referred to as "high
crimes" as described in the U.S. Constitution.
A Misdemeanor is a lesser crime
punishable by a fine and/or county jail time for
up to one year. Misdemeanors are distinguished
from felonies, which can be punished by a state
prison term. They are tried in the lowest local
court such as municipal, police or justice courts.
Typical misdemeanors include: petty theft, disturbing
the peace, simple assault and battery, drunk driving
without injury to others, drunkenness in public,
various traffic violations, public nuisances and
some crimes which can be charged either as a felony
or misdemeanor depending on the circumstances
and the discretion of the District Attorney.

The residents and businesses of Washington County need dependable, safe and secure fresh water resources to ensure the long-term economic health and livability of our region. Demand for water in the Tualatin Basin is expected to double by the year 2050, which means the basin will need an additional 50,000 acre feet per year.
Local water resource agencies in the Tualatin Basin are making efforts to plan now for diverse, safe and reliable water supply sources through the Tualatin Basin Water Supply Project. The partners in the project include Clean Water Services, Tualatin Valley Water District and the cities of Hillsboro and Beaverton in cooperation with the US Bureau of Reclamation.
In 1999, water managers in the Tualatin Basin completed an Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy, a framework for water users and resource managers to meet shared objectives. The conclusion of this effort was to focus on planning for future water supply.
Local water managers formed a partnership in 2001 and funded a Water Supply Feasibility Study (WSFS), a technical evaluation of options to meet water demands through the year 2050.
The WSFS identified a range of water supply options for meeting the future water supply needs in the Tualatin Basin. Several options were recommended for further evaluation including raising Scoggins Dam by 20 or 40 feet, constructing a new dam (Stimson Dam) immediately downstream of the existing dam, and an irrigation exchange pipeline from the Willamette River.
The study also concluded that conservation, reclaimed water, aquifer storage and recovery and planned Portland Bull Run system improvements should be included in any project components. The study was completed in 2004.
The Tualatin Basin Water Supply Project seeks to secure 50,000 acre-feet of needed water to meet growing needs of families, farms, factories and fish.
During 2005, an alternatives analysis examined the various supply options and two were selected for study. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is now being completed to examine the proposed alternatives to meet this need. The two alternative are:
Both alternatives include conservation targets for homes and businesses, wastewater reuse, and working with farmers to secure in-stream water rights for fish.
The Draft EIS is expected to be published by the US Bureau of Reclamation in Fall 2009.
Water for the Future is a new DVD that illustrates the need, benefits and options that are being studied. The 12-minute video illustrates how local partners are working together to meet long-term needs for drinking water, agricultural irrigation and in-stream flow.
The video will be shown as part of a presentation during the April meeting of CPO1, April 7, 7 pm at St. Vincent Hospital. See cpo1friends.org for details. It can also be seen on Tualatin Valley Community TV or at the project website at www.tualatinbasinwatersupply.org or you can request a copy of the video for your organization or business by contacting Jeanna Hall at 503-681-3619 or email@example.com

Education is one of the core areas of innovation we look at on SocialBusiness.org, both in the case of social enterprises that are helping deliver education to those who would otherwise not have access to them, and to programs and institutions that are trying improve the existing education systems.
Teach For All addresses both. They work with a variety of education-focused social enterprises to help discover and develop the next generation leaders who will move the education system in a progressive direction.
As they define it, Teach For All is "the global network for expanding educational opportunity."
Teach For All was launched in 2007 as a collaboration between Teach For America and Teach First, both of which place promising young leaders into schools facing educational challenges for two year periods. Their network now reaches 23 countries and is expected to expand to an additional 10-20 countries in the next two years.
Teach For All was started "to assist social entrepreneurs around the world who were inspired by the Teach For America and Teach First model and wanted to adapt it in their respective countries."

These days, every web publisher wrestles with finding the right balance between producing their own content versus relying on contributions from visitors. It's almost magical when visitors return to your site just because they can find appropriate experts or like-minded people there. A combination of both professional and user generated content can also increase organic traffic and create more ad inventory.
One major dependency for user content is the quality of the actively participating community. At last week's Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) brown-bag session, experts in "how to grow" communities for major brands were on hand. Their advice and approach seems worth sharing, to help optimize your site.
Define Community
According to the experts, a community forms when two or more people share common interests. It gets further refined down to people with common purposes, such as business professionals who need to share practices or make decisions. To the bigger marketers, it's far more than a group of friends or colleagues — although that's a start.
For publishers of all stripes, who joins their respective communities matter because these joiners drive loyalty and repeat visits. There can be controlled access or permission required to join into conversations, which creates a defined group of experts. Or, there can be more open, serendipitous environments where consumer experiences are shared.
Plan Ahead
Experts suggest that you set your community goals clearly. What's important is thinking about the nature of your visitors and what you really want from them. Do you want a broader, less engaged base? Do you want to appeal to more involved people who can carry your message? Do you really have a narrow group to whom you can differentiate your community?
Of course, it's not possible to create communities in a vacuum. The experts also encourage you to consider how your goals will play out against your own expertise or reputation. For online publishers, this means considering these community-building criteria:
- Look at subject matter. The current popularity of some topics can work for or against your efforts. Another Britney site won't draw active participants unless you have a special twist to compete with others. A specialized "long tail" subject might work better, particularly if it's dynamic and worth sharing and discussing with others.
- Think about participants. There's plenty of social glue among certain types of people. Clear examples include parents sharing stories and angst with one another, patients or caregivers discussing medical conditions, and business managers based on their industries or functional roles. So define your targets beforehand — though you may end being surprised about who bonds.
- Examine your competition. Are there many social outlets already? Even with passion-provoking topics, not all sites will be able to attract communities. In many cases, potential joiners might be loyal to other places already. Or, there might be others who chose not to join active communities. Figure out how to appeal to prospects, with unique offerings.
What To Do
While all of this sounds pretty logical, we are living in a social sharing era: Set up sharing tools or blogs and your traffic problems are cured! Open up a MySpace page and create more link love! Act now.
These are common tactics that appear on "must do" search engine optimization lists, but it's not a cookie-cutter world. At the SES Travel conference earlier this year, it's worth noting that even travel competitors had different ideas about what level of social functionality belonged on (or off) their domains.
With your unique community goals in mind, you should be able to create a comfortable balance between content and community. Decide which social tactics you want to try out. Like all optimization efforts, there's a mix of art, science and testing ahead.

The lush farming countryside, historic buildings and good coffee attract Sydney crowds to South Coast towns like Berry and Milton every weekend. But as the Sydney real estate boom surges down the Princes Highway and the dairy industry wanes, these idyllic village retreats risk becoming victims of their soaring popularity.
Shoalhaven City Council has been accused by residents, many Sydney escapees, of rushing to grab the developer dollar by selling its assets.
Today the council will hold an extraordinary meeting to decide whether it will back out of a controversial $5 million sale of a 33-hectare site next to the Berry township, population 1200.
The former University of Wollongong agricultural campus, Graham Park, is promised to Beechwood Homes, a developer that bought a neighbouring 68-hectare residential site for $22 million in a private sale last year. A 300-lot housing development is to be built on the residential land.
Locals say Graham Park, despite its zoning as operational land, is worth far more, and they want a say in its future.
They are also unhappy that the council accepted a $1 deposit for the property, rather than the 10 per cent first demanded in the contract. An escape clause in the contract expires on Wednesday.
"The problem is ... the process and the secretive nature of the way the council went about it," said Berry Alliance spokesman John Ings. "If its use is for development, it is terribly undervalued."
Further south in Milton, residents are angry about the council's decision to auction a row of 1950s shops, given to the municipality by the late local eccentric, Cec Mellick.
Many residents are bitterly opposed to the sale, saying more shops are not sustainable outside the tourism season and some of the buildings should be kept for community use.
Meanwhile, a real estate agent and developer, known as "dashing" David Matthew, is waiting for the council to decide on his proposed Paddington-style terrace complex of homes and offices near the strip. "I want to make something fantastic and keep it as close as possible to the 1800s, that is, the 1860s," said Mr Matthew, an award-winning cattle breeder and obsessive historian.
But Michael Van Ewijk, spokesman for The Friends of Milton, said the proposed changes risked turning the area into a South Coast "Hollywood movie set".
"If we allow these developments to happen, they will change the nature of tourism here," he said.
But Mr Matthew said the town should not be "time capsuled" and development should be encouraged to help the local economy - he eventually hopes to subdivide his farm next to the town centre.
The housing markets in both of the National Trust-listed towns have soared in recent years. In the past year there has been an extraordinary 45 per cent rise in median house prices in Milton, while in Berry there has been a 29 per cent lift.
Planning consultant Peter Leyshon said the towns were under pressure to expand because they were close to the city.
"People are moving out of Sydney and their expectations are geared to the Sydney market," he said.
The mayor of Shoalhaven, Greg Watson, in a 2002 mayoral minute wrote all surplus land "would be disposed of to free up capitol [sic] for expenditure on other projects".
