SUFFOLK, ENGLAND, December 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Held at Manchester Central from 6th to 8th January 2012. Visitors can come and talk to the Fred. Olsen experts, who will be on hand to advise them about the choice of cruises available, and will help them select the perfect cruise holiday for their tastes and budget.
Knowledgeable Fred. Olsen staff will be promoting the cruise lines' extensive programme of worldwide cruises, from a choice of convenient regional UK ports. Fred. Olsen will be showcasing some great offers, through the 'Captains' Collection'. This new brochure, of 73 specially-selected ex-UK cruises, offers a range of savings, some up to GBP1,000 on main brochure prices (depending on cabin grade), as well as added bonuses, such as onboard spending credit and free travel or parking.
For anyone booking a cruise at the Show, there will be additional savings of between GBP75 and GBP325 per person.
Fred. Olsen will also be participating in the 'Travel Talk' theatre each day, with a presentation on 'The Fred. Olsen Difference'.
The award-winning cruise line is known for its friendly and very personal touch and the relaxed atmosphere to be experienced aboard its fleet of four, traditional, more intimate ships. Many cruises offer additional attractions, such as the Vistas onboard enrichment programme, with experts in a variety of different fields giving talks and tuition throughout the cruise, and live entertainment thorough the popular Music & Laughter programme. Both these programmes were recognised with awards voted for by readers of Cruise International magazine in 2011; Fred. Olsen won the award for 'Best Educational Cruise' for Vistas and 'Best Live Performance' for The OperaBabes, who appeared as part of the Music & Laughter programme.
Vistas speakers appearing in 2012 include the explorer, Colonel John Blashford-Snell, the veteran broadcaster, Michael Nicholson, food / wine expert and TV personality, Jilly Goolden, and sporting legends, footballer Terry Neill and darts champion, Keith Deller.

Why bigger is better when it comes to our brain and memory
2011-12-22
The hippocampus is an important brain structure for recollection memory, the type of memory we use for detailed reliving of past events. Now, new research published by Cell Press in the December 22 issue of the journal Neuron reveals characteristics of the human hippocampus that allow scientists to use anatomical brain scans to form predictions about an individual's recollection ability. The new research helps to explain why this relationship has been hard to find in the past and provides evidence for a possible underlying mechanism.
The hippocampus, a deep brain structure ...
Listen up: Abnormality in auditory processing underlies dyslexia
2011-12-22
People with dyslexia often struggle with the ability to accurately decode and identify what they read. Although disrupted processing of speech sounds has been implicated in the underlying pathology of dyslexia, the basis of this disruption and how it interferes with reading comprehension has not been fully explained. Now, new research published by Cell Press in the December 22 issue of the journal Neuron finds that a specific abnormality in the processing of auditory signals accounts for the main symptoms of dyslexia.
"It is widely agreed that for a majority of dyslexic ...

New York Education Department Official Accused of Stealing Millions
A former consultant to the New York Department of Education stole more than $3 million from the state department over a six-year period, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The stiff penalties that the former consultant faces show just how important it is for those accused of fraud to seek out experienced legal counsel.
The New York Times wrote that the consultant allegedly stole $3.6 million from the education department in part to pay for the costs of new cars and real estate deals.

Autologous stem cell transplantation does not improve os in patients with follicular lymphoma
2011-12-22
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT), for previously untreated patients with advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) does not improve overall survival compared with conventional-dose chemotherapy alone, according to an online study published December 21 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Follicular lymphoma is the most common sub-type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in North America, characterized by a long natural history, with multiple remissions and relapses following treatment. A number of chemotherapy regimens have been combined ...
Gene links rare and unrelated cancers
2011-12-22
Scientists at the BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, and the University of British Columbia are excited over a discovery made while studying rare tumour types.
Dr. David Huntsman, genetic pathologist and director of the Ovarian Cancer Program of BC at the BC Cancer Agency and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and Dr. Gregg Morin, a lead scientist from the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre at the BC Cancer Agency, led a team who found mutations in rare, seemingly unrelated cancers were all linked to the same gene, known as DICER.

Connecticut Gets Smart on Crime With Inmate Early Release Law
As Connecticut and other states grapple with tight budgets, many have made attempts to lower recidivism, or the rate at which released prisoners are reincarcerated for new crimes. A national study found that more than 40 percent of people released from prison end up back behind bars.
However, a new law in Connecticut may help to rehabilitate inmates and prevent or reduce recidivism. The state's new "risk reduction" credit program allows inmates in Connecticut to earn credits toward an earlier ...
Landmark discovery has magnetic appeal for scientists
2011-12-22
A fundamental problem that has puzzled generations of scientists has finally been solved after more than 70 years.
An international team of scientists has discovered a subtle electronic effect in magnetite – the most magnetic of all naturally occurring minerals – causes a dramatic change to how this material conducts electricity at very low temperatures.
The discovery gives new insight into the mineral in which mankind discovered magnetism, and it may enable magnetite and similar materials to be exploited in new ways.
The research, published in Nature, was led ...
Rare genetic mutations linked to bipolar disorder
2011-12-22
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, reports that abnormal sequences of DNA known as rare copy number variants, or CNVs, appear to play a significant role in the risk for early onset bipolar disorder.
The findings will be published in the Dec. 22 issue of the journal Neuron.
CNVs are genomic alterations in which there are too few or too many copies of sections of DNA. Researchers have known that spontaneously occurring (de novo) CNVs – genetic mutations not inherited from parents – significantly ...

Pathogenic landscape of HIV
2011-12-22
In perhaps the most comprehensive survey of the inner workings of HIV, an international team of scientists led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has mapped every apparent physical interaction the virus makes with components of the human cells it infects—work that may reveal new ways to design future HIV/AIDS drugs.
Explored this week in back-to-back papers in the journal Nature, the survey reveals a pathogenic landscape in which HIV's handful of proteins makes hundreds of physical connections with human proteins and other components inside ...
