My compassion for all life started with the day I was born. I was born prematurely on the way to the hospital; I am very lucky to be alive! Then, my dad died when I was four years old of brain cancer. Life is sacred and short. Everyone deserves a fair chance at life. We all suffer, animals and humans alike.
I've moved around a lot in my life and animals are the one thing that always remain constant wherever I go. I can be shy, but around animals I always seem to fit in and be myself. Our family has lots of animals and we all are not only animal-friendly, but also eco-friendly, so I love connecting the two whenever I can!
I've been vegetarian for 3 years now (Since January 1st, 2013). It started as a New Years Resolution and it stuck, and was the best decision I have ever accomplished! To all the people who didn't believe in me that I could accomplish this, thank you, for giving me an even more push to free animals one step at a time.
Hello there, I'm Brianna. I am best described as quirky, shy, caring and optimistic. That's really all there is to say about my life... Huh?
Life story: I left my moms house to live with my dad who understands me (I am bisexual. im vegan, i dont really care what people say about or to me but once the up in my face then ect.), I love musicals, art, and Animals. I have Always wanted to make a change, about anyting.

I. Teitelbaum
Translated by Claire Hisler Shefftz
During the Polish-Bolshevik war in the Ukraine, a Polish division under General Zeligowski tore through Bessarabia and Bukovina and stopped in Kolomea during its winter march to Poland.
Kolomea was then temporarily occupied by the Rumanians and the border was near the shtetl Otynia between Stanislav and Kolomea.
During their stay in Kolomea, General Zeligowski's soldiers ("the wild division", they called them) often attacked Jews. But Jewish workers organized a civil patrol and gave the hooligans quite a few beatings.
During the march to Otynia, Zeligowski's soldiers carried out a pogrom against Hachshara HaKibutza from HaShomer HaTsair which was an agricultural school owned by the Jewish Colonization Association in the village of Slobodka Leshna.
On the sixteenth of June, 1919, the hooligans killed three student Halutzim: 1) Joseph Bal- the son of butcher Moshe Bal from Franzishkaryuzifar Street, 2) Tsvi Rotenberg, the son of the restauranteur Rotenberg from Yagielanskai Street near the Post office, and 3) Shmuel Presser from Stanislav. Members of the Bartfeld family were also murdered.
The dead were brought to Kever Israel in the new Kolomear cemetery on Klebanye Street. Almost the whole city took part in the funeral. Adjoining graves were prepared for the martyred near the main entrance to the cemetery.
Even officers of the Austian army who had been former Halutzim, delivered eulogies: Lieutenant Engineer Shlomo Rores, Lieutenant
Teacher Poizer-Dresher, and an Oberlieutenant from Prague, a son-in-law of Kolomear resident Max Vaykselboim.
When the Polish army turned toward Kolomea in September 1919, the three Jewish officers who had spoken at the funeral were taken before a military court and accused of insulting the Polish people and the Polish army. The sentence was a relatively light one. Rores and Dresher were demoted to a lower rank and the Prague lieutenant was sent out of the country.
The "hero" of the "wild division", General Zeligowski, was the same one who later, in 1920, plundered Vilna for Poland and carried out a pogrom against the Jews there.
Translator's note: For another account of this incident, see Shtetl Memoirs by Joachim Schoenfeld, New Jersey, Ktav Publishing House, Inc., 1985, p. 212. General Lucjan Zeligowski (pronounced Zheligovsky) is mentioned on page 221 as having occupied Wilno (Vilna). The author, born in 1895 in Sniatyn which was some miles west of Kolomey, lived in that Galician town until World War I. He provides historical background about Jews in Galicia as well as accounts of typical Jewish life in Sniatyn and his service in the Austrian army. He also describes how Jews fared under independent Poland in the years between the two world wars.

CANTON - For much of the past three weeks the Salem Quakers had been forced to keep up with explosive run games that wore down an inexperienced defense and broke loose with big plays.
Friday night against Canton South, with the running game kept in check for much of the evening, it was an aerial assault that claimed the Quakers in a 46-15 loss to the Wildcats.
"That quarterback could really wing it," Salem head coach Ron Johnson said. "Their receivers made contested throws. I think our defense held them to negative rushing yards in the first half, but they played well."
Early on, it looked as if the Quakers were going to be able to take advantage of the Wildcat secondary with their speed at the skill positions.
The Quaker offense had the opportunity to make plays. Twice in the opening quarter Quaker receivers found themselves behind the Wildcat secondary, but Trace Jenkins wasn't able to hook-up with his receiver for the big play.
"Jake (Carner) got over top of them, Brendan Webb got overtop," Johnson said. "We had opportunities to get on the board starting with the first play of the game. We just have to pitch it and catch it and finish plays. Just like they made plays tonight, in time we're going to be making those plays."
Josh Lyon led the Wildcats on their first drive of the game, highlighted by a 36-yard pass to Armond Fontes that resulted in points.
"He had a rough go of it last year, but he's got ten games under his belt now. He's making good decisions," Canton South head coach Moe Daniska said. "He understands the offense well, and he doesn't turn the ball over. He does a good job managing the game and does a good job getting us in and out of the right plays."
John Hasleem, who replaced Lyon who left for one play with an injury, connected on a pass with Brando Fittro on fourth down to set the Wildcats up with first-and-goal at the two-yard line.
Josh Kenny plunged in from two-yards out on the next play to give Canton South the early lead.
Canton South's potent passing attack caused fits for the Quaker defensive backs all evening.
The Wildcats made it 13-0 with a quick strike from Lyons to Alec Eller for a 64-yard touchdown pass. Lyons was able to use his pump-fakes to his advantage and catch the Quakers when they were most vulnerable.
Lyon also showed his value on special teams placing a punt inside of the five-yard-line to back the Quakers up against their own goaline mid-way through the second quarter.
The Wildcats, who make a living on making teams pay off of turnovers, did so again on Friday night. After an acrobatic interception by Dejon Newell set Canton South up deep in Quaker territory, Lyon and company only needed one play to put up more points, finding Noah Mallen for a 19-yard score.
The Wildcats were plus-11 in the turnover margin coming into Friday night, and forced three more against Salem.
Lyon added a third score through the air, finding Mark Nicoletti on a slant route from ten yards out to cap the scoring in the first half.
Lyon directed a scoring drive to open the second half, zipping passes to Mallen and Nicoletti to lead the Wildcats into the red zone. Kenny finished off the drive with his second score of the game.
Salem's offense began to pick things up and move the football with a drive in the fourth quarter, but that momentum stalled and the Wildcats took over and marched down the field for another score.
Deonte Settles slipped into the end zone for his first score of the game to make it 39-0.
Once again the Quakers wouldn't roll over, as the offense kept plugging away and the special teams that Johnson has emphasized all season long broke through.
Haedan Panezott got the Quakers on the board in the fourth quarter with a 63-yard jaunt. Panezott took the hand-off from Jenkins and outran the Wildcat secondary en route to the score.
"It was just an inside run, and he hit it 1,000 miles an hour," Johnson said. "The offensive line did a great job and opened up some things. He's one of our fastest guys and did a nice job."
Marcus Crittenden later took a kickoff 90-yards down the left sideline for a score, showing a combination of balance and breakaway speed as he toed the sideline in front of the Quaker bench.
"They're not going to quit on themselves and they're certainly not going to quit for the name on the front of that jersey," Johnson said. "So we are going to make sure that we play hard and represent this community the right way every time we hit the field."
Salem (0-6, 0-3 NBC) returns home Friday for homecoming against Alliance.

The complexity of present-day international law stands in an uneasy relation to the scheme of justice propounded by Rawls. The problems facing international lawyers may pose a conceptual threat to some of the fundamental bases upon which Rawls builds his entire theoretical edifice.

It was 1945, and Japan had just surrendered to the United States.
In the Philippines, a subordinate of Gen. Douglas MacArthur ordered Col. Harry Clarke - a lawyer from Altoona - to defend the Japanese military commander of those islands against charges of war crimes.
It was a job Clarke didn't want.

Col. Harry Clarke (inset) of Altoona led the defense for Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, who was found guilty and hanged for war atrocities in the Philippines during World War II.

This photo from Col. Harry Clarke's albums shows an image from the arraignment of Japanese Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita after World War II.
Japanese Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita gave this tea set to Col. Harry Clarke of Altoona, who defended him in a trial after World War II. Yamashita was found guilty and hanged in 1946. The set was passed down to Barbara Clarke of Harrisburg, who displays it on her mantel.
The prosecution alleged that Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita was responsible for war crimes in three categories, according to the Law Reports of the Trials of War Criminals, Selected and Prepared by the U.S. War Crimes Commission.
These crimes occurred during the time Yamashita was in command of the Japanese military in the Philippines and they occurred throughout the islands - although most of the atrocities happened on Luzon, according to the prosecution.
Fact Box
Yamashita's charges
The prosecution in the trial of Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita alleged the defendant didn't do enough to prevent troops under his control in the Philippines from inflicting:
(1) Starvation, execution or massacre without trial and maladministration generally of civilian internees and prisoners of war;
(2) Torture, rape, murder and mass execution of very large numbers of residents of the Philippines, including women and children and members of religious orders, by starvation, beheading, bayoneting, clubbing, hanging, burning alive, and destruction by explosives;
(3) Burning and demolition without adequate military necessity of large numbers of homes, places of business, places of religious worship, hospitals, public buildings, and educational institutions.
In an album provided by Clarke's grandson, Chip Clarke of Roaring Spring, labeled "prosecution exhibits trial of Tomoyuki Yamashita," there are photographs of bodies. One shows what appears to be charred corpses in an otherwise empty room with blackened walls and a portrait hung at the far end.
Another shows a view through a doorway into a darkened room, bodies inside heaped like trash. Another shows what appears to be the lower half of a person cut off above the navel, sprawled in what appears to be a farmyard.
A second album, also of trial exhibits, shows a group photo of what appear to be priests in a group photo, probably on graduation from seminary, each priest's image numbered, with 15 of them noted below the photo as "killed." Other photos show commercial and industrial buildings toppled as from an earthquake. There are roofless buildings, enormous piles of rubble and walls pockmarked with projectiles, blackened by fire.
In trigonometry class at Altoona High School, a teacher, having received the news about Clarke's appointment to defend the general who was in charge of the Japanese servicemen who had perpetrated these atrocities, asked Clarke's niece Thelma Clarke, "Hey, Clarke, how do you feel about your uncle being a traitor?"
Thinking her teacher was saying "trader," she asked her father that evening what her teacher meant. When he enlightened her, she was upset, said Thelma Clarke (now known as Brigit Clarke-Smith) in a recent phone conversation.
Her father was, too.
The teacher's disapproval was like the scorn that might have come down on an attorney assigned to defend Osama bin Laden, if U.S. troops had captured instead of killing him, Chip Clarke said.
"The team members were fully aware of the antagonism they faced," said Lawrence Taylor - author of "A Trial of Generals: Homma, Yamashita, MacArthur" - in an email.
The pleadings before the commission did not allege that Yamashita ordered, authorized or had knowledge of the commission of any of the alleged atrocities or war crimes, states the U.N. report.
Rather, it alleged that he had failed to control his troops, according to the report.
There was no question the atrocities had occurred.
So "it was perfectly obvious" he was guilty as charged, "because the crimes they committed were horrific," said Allan Ryan, author of "Yamashita's Ghost: War Crimes, MacArthur's Justice and Command Accountability," speaking by phone from Manila, where he is working on a PBS documentary about the trial.
The crimes were "so notorious and so flagrant and so enormous, both as to the scope of their operation and as to the inhumanity, the bestiality involved, that they must have been known to the accused if he were making any effort whatever to meet the responsibilities of his command or his position; and that if he did not know of those acts, notorious, widespread, repeated, constant as they were, it was simply because he took affirmative action not to know," the prosecution argued in its opening statement.
Initially, the prosecution filed 64 charges, then during a recess for the defense to prepare its case, the prosecution filed 59 more. The commission - which consisted of five officers, none of them lawyers - denied the defense motion for more time to deal with those additional charges.
The defense also objected to the lack of specifics in the complaint, to little avail, according to the U.N. report.
With one exception, the prosecution team members were all former assistant district attorneys, Ryan said.
Setting aside Clarke, none of the defense team members had trial experience, Ryan said.
"You would say, 'This is the junior varsity,'" he said.
When he gave the order for the trial, MacArthur said, according to family lore, "We're going to give this man a fair trial, and then we're going to hang him," said Barbara Clarke, now of Harrisburg, widow of Clarke's son, Harry Jr., longtime football coach at Central High School and Chip's father.
Was defeat for Yamashita's defense team a foregone conclusion?
"Probably," Ryan said.
None of the team members volunteered, Ryan said.
"A couple were quite resentful," he said.
A. Frank Reel, who wrote a book about the trial, told a superior he didn't want the job, Ryan said. The superior said he understood, but put Reel's name down for it anyway, Ryan said.
One appointee - a judge from Alabama - was furious and demanded to be released from the order, according to Reel, Ryan said.
He got his wish, Ryan said.
"I believe most of the team [members'] attitude was, 'I'd rather prosecute the bastards,'" Taylor wrote in an email.
But it's not clear what Clarke thought, according to Ryan.
"My understanding is that it wasn't something he welcomed," said Terry Clarke of Massachusetts, the colonel's nephew.
But it was an order, and he wouldn't have tried to shirk it, because "he was a good soldier," Terry Clarke said.
Clarke had been active in the Republican Party at home and may have had political ambitions - which the appointment could ultimately have damaged or enhanced, Terry Clarke said.
The colonel likely thought the appointment an honor, according to Barbara Clarke.
But did he realize the assignment was a lost cause?
"Yes and no," Ryan said.
Clarke and the defense team members may have been reluctant at first.
But once committed, Clarke didn't hold back, according to Terry Clarke, who said his uncle lived by a family motto quoted by his son Harry in a 1962 book about football: "No matter what you do, try to do it better than anyone."
"The defense did a real defense," said Lea Walker Wood of Montpelier, Vt., a secretary who worked with Clarke in the Philippines. "Not a paper defense."
It didn't take long for the team to realize Yamashita "was being railroaded," Terry Clarke said.
Moreover, the team members grew to like and respect Yamashita, who, though "inscrutable," "seemed like a genuine person," Wood said.
They discovered that Yamashita wasn't a military zealot and wasn't one with the Japanese military elite, according to Terry Clarke.
"You begin to believe in your client," said Ryan, a lawyer with trial experience.
At some point, the team actually thought it might win, Ryan thinks.
The defense opened by laying out its plan to "show that the accused never ordered the commission of any crime or atrocity; that the accused never gave permission to anyone to commit any crimes or atrocities; that the accused had no knowledge of the commission of the alleged crimes or atrocities; that the accused had no actual control of the perpetrators of the atrocities at any time that they occurred, and that the accused did not then and does not now condone, excuse or justify any atrocities or violation of the laws of war," according to the U.N. report.
The team didn't deny the atrocities.
But the perpetrators were naval troops in Manila, who disobeyed orders to leave and were out of communication with Yamashita - who was in the hills, beset by American forces, according to the defense's closing statement.
"We see only wild, unaccountable looting, murder and rape. If there be an explanation of the Manila story, we believe it lies in this: Trapped in the doomed city, knowing that they had only a few days at best to live, the Japanese went berserk, unloosed their pent-up fears and passions in one last orgy of abandon," the defense stated, according to the U.N. report.
"[T]here had been no testimony that General Yamashita ever ordered or permitted or condoned or justified or excused in any way these atrocities," the defense stated.
In closing, the prosecution argued that in "the Laws of War," there's no "distinction between criminal responsibility and administrative responsibility."
Because Yamashita was essentially "military governor of the Philippine Islands" after fall 1944 until the end of the war, he was responsible, the prosecution said.
"[S]ince there had existed in the Philippines a widespread pattern of atrocities there must have been a failure on the part of the ultimate commander," the prosecution argued.
"It was his duty to know what was being done by his troops under his orders," the prosecution stated. "He did not make an adequate effort to find out."
The commission agreed:
"[W]here murder and rape and vicious, revengeful actions are widespread offenses, and there is no effective attempt by a commander to discover and control the criminal acts, such a commander may be held responsible," the commission ruled.
It sentenced him to hang.
It wasn't quite over, as the defense appealed to the high court in the Philippines and then the U.S. Supreme Court.
"No one expected them to do that," Woods said.
He led a team to the Supreme Court despite not having an undergraduate college degree.
"The facts are a bit fuzzy," Chip Clarke said in an email. "He graduated from Altoona High School in 1915, enlisted in the Army a short time later, served in World War I, was wounded (don't know the facts re: how, where [or] when on that) and [was] discharged; got married in 1920, had my father in 1921 and graduated from Dickinson [Law School] in 1922. I guess his 'college' was life in wartime."
There was a "GI-Bill-esque" program that helped his grandfather make the leap, Chip Clarke said. "I don't know whether it included a scholarship," he said. Without such a scholarship, however, the future colonel's father - a dispatcher for the Pennsylvania Railroad - might not have been able to send him to Dickinson, Chip Clarke said, speculatively.
The Supreme Court denied the appeal, upholding the legality of the commission to hear the charge, even after the end of the war, and to admit evidence that would be inadmissible in civilian courts.
Such trials are necessary "to protect civilian populations and prisoners of war from brutality," the court stated. Otherwise, "the commander of an invading army could with impunity neglect to take reasonable measures for [those groups'] protection," the court stated.
MacArthur had directed that the commission should admit such evidence "as in its opinion would be of assistance in proving or disproving the charge, or such as in the commission's opinion would have probative value in the mind of a reasonable man."
The court dismissed the defense argument that the Articles of War should protect enemy combatants from that kind of "hearsay" and "opinion," because the Articles are for protection of "members of our Army," according to the court.
Nor do enemy combatants enjoy the right to Fifth Amendment due process, according to the court.
Likewise, Yamashita didn't enjoy the Geneva Convention protection of prisoners of war for actions that occurred before he became a prisoner, according to the court.
And only after a war is over can the victorious nation bring malefactors to justice, in many cases, because only after a war is over do the victors have access to such malefactors, according to the court.
Two justices dissented.
The commission's condemnation of Yamashita was "clearly without precedent in international law," wrote Justice Frank Murphy.
It convicted Yamashita "of a crime in which knowledge is an essential element, with no proof of knowledge - other than what would be inadmissible in any other capital case or proceeding under our system, civil or military," wrote Justice Wiley Rutledge.
The commission allowed "Every conceivable kind of statement, rumor, report, at first, second, third or further hand, written, printed, or oral, and one 'propaganda' film" Rutledge wrote.
"The immutable rights of the individual, including those secured by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, belong not alone to the members of those nations that excel on the battlefield," Murphy wrote. "Such is the universal and indestructible nature of [these] rights."
The unjust punishment of Yamashita - reflecting "primitive impulses of vengeance" - "breeds resentment and fresh tension," Murphy wrote. "Thus does the spiral of cruelty and hatred grow."
Quoting Thomas Paine, Rutledge wrote: "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself." After the Supreme Court ruling and a failed clemency plea to President Harry Truman, Yamashita was hanged in February 1946, five months after the Japanese surrender.
Justice Rutledge himself complimented the defense team on its work.
"[Yamashita] has been represented by able counsel, officers of the army he fought," Rutledge wrote in his dissent. "Their difficult assignment has been done with extraordinary fidelity, not only to the accused, but to their high conception of military justice, always to be administered in subordination to the Constitution and consistent Acts of Congress and treaties."
"They did a terrific job," Ryan said. "Determined and very proficient and dedicated."
"[The defense] performed in heroic fashion - in the face of insurmountable odds, unfair proceedings and at constant risk from the wrath of MacArthur and the presiding generals," and their "kangaroo court," Taylor wrote in an email.
Yamashita grew to appreciate it.
Through a translator, before he died, he said: "When I have been investigated in Manila court, I have had a good treatment, kindful attitude from your good natured officers who all the time protect me."
He gave away belongings to defense team members before his death. Clarke got the tea set he'd carried through Manchuria, China, Malaya, Japan and the Philippines, according to the World War II database article.
The Clarke family prizes the gratitude: except at Christmas, Barbara Clarke keeps the tea set on her mantel.
It also honors Clarke himself: asked by a Mirror reporter to provide a piece of information during research for this story, Chip Clarke consulted his grandfather's dog tag - by pulling them off his neck.
Ironically, the significance of Clarke and his colleagues in history may be larger than it would be otherwise because of their failure to scotch MacArthur's attempt to make command responsibility absolute.
The Yamashita trial remains a precedent - an unfortunate one, according to Ryan. Fortunately, it has not been applied universally, he said.
If it had, it could have implicated, for example, Gen. William Westmoreland, American forces commander in Vietnam, after the massacre by American soldiers at My Lai, he said.
When that kind of idea is floated, people are "horrified," he said.
Yet it "has never been completely repudiated," he said. Instead, it has "hovered over the law," he said.
It has influenced the International Tribunal in its ongoing deliberations on war crimes in Yugoslavia, he said.
It has come down to an insistence on the commander's state of mind - because ultimately, the Yamashita commission explained its verdict by claiming that the crimes that occurred in the Philippines were so widespread and horrific that Yamashita must have known.
Based on the Yamashita precedent, the tribunal on Yugoslavia has insisted on trying to ferret out the states of mind of commanders accused of war crimes, he said.
It's "unworkable and impractical," and it doesn't do much to separate responsible from irresponsible commanders, he said.
Better to look at the record - whether commanders trained their troops not to cause unnecessary harm to civilians, whether they punished offenders, he said.
If the tribunal adopts such a practical standard, then a commander who does what he can doesn't need to worry, while one who does not can expect punishment, if his troops go awry, according to Ryan.
"We've struggled with this legacy - this ghost - far too long," he said.

on April 5, 1999 - 12:01 AM
A sordid story that brought unwelcome national attention to Jamestown came to a close today when Nushawn Williams was sent to prison for at least four years for knowingly exposing a young woman to the AIDS virus.
Williams, 22, who Chautauqua County authorities said infected 13 young women with the HIV virus after he arrived from New York City, was sentenced by County Judge John T. Ward to a term of 4 to 12 years.
Williams pleaded guilty Feb. 26 to two counts of sodomy for having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl in 1996 and a single count of reckless endangerment. The girl is now infected with HIV.
Chautauqua County District Attorney James P. Subjack declined to comment after today's proceedings but previously has said he feels the Williams case demonstrates glaring weaknesses in the laws dealing with HIV victims.Williams is due in court in New York City Thursday for sentencing on a reckless-endangerment charge for spreading the AIDS virus to a 15-year-old girl in the Bronx.

Temple of Haeinsa, Korea
Photograph by Joong-hi Jung, 2006
One of the three principal Buddhist temples in Korea, known as the 'Three Jewel Temples', Haeinsa (Temple of Reflection on a Smooth Sea) in South Gyeongsang Province represents the Buddhist teachings (dharma). The oldest part of the temple is Janggyeong Panjeon, wooden storage halls that were constructed to house the Tripitaka Koreana, the most comprehensive collection of Korean Buddhist texts. Engraved on more than 80,000 wooden printing blocks, these texts are dated between 1237 and 1248.

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have developed a technique to create a comprehensive library of mutations across all genes in the mouse genome. This library can be used to examine the role of every gene in different cell types, the researchers say.
CRISPR technology uses the DNA-cutting enzyme Cas9, with the help of a guide RNA sequence, to find and modify genetic targets. Scientists engineer multiple new guide RNAs using standard molecular biology techniques. This makes for a much faster and efficient method to modify the genome of any cell type in any species, according to the Wellcome group.
The team, which published their results online ("Genome-wide recessive genetic screening in mammalian cells with a lentiviral CRISPR-guide RNA library") in Nature Biotechnology, found that 50 of 52 guide RNAs tested successfully cut both copies of the genes. The high success rate for these engineered guide RNAs seems to be consistent across many cell types, which led them to create a library of guide RNAs targeting every gene in the mouse genome.
"We designed 87,897 guide RNAs (gRNAs) targeting 19,150 mouse protein-coding genes and used a lentiviral vector to express these gRNAs in ESCs that constitutively express Cas9," wrote the investigators. "Screening the resulting ESC mutant libraries for resistance to either Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin or 6-thioguanine identified 27 known and four previously unknown genes implicated in these phenotypes. Our results demonstrate the potential for efficient loss-of-function screening using the CRISPR-Cas9 system."
"CRISPR technology is revolutionizing how we study the behavior of cells," said Kosuke Yusa, Ph.D., lead author from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "We've developed a thorough library that can be used by other researchers to study the role of any gene. We can create a library of this type for any cell or any species."
The team will now use the engineered library to create mutations in cancer cell lines. A major problem with cancer drugs is that often cells can quickly acquire resistance and reject the treatment. By screening for genes that have lost all function through mutation, the team can determine what genes are involved in acquiring resistance to cancer treatments and thus find a clinical target.

Three rescued after kayaks land on reef
Firefighters rescued three people after one kayak took on water and another became stuck on the reef Thursday night off Olowalu, a fire official said.
Lahaina firefighters responded to the 8:15 p.m. alarm after the group called for help by cellphone, said fire Capt. Paul Haake.
Firefighters made contact by cellphone, then used lights and yelled out to establish the location of a man and two women, who had launched for an evening paddle aboard two kayaks, Haake said.
In the darkness and with a low tide, the kayaks became stuck in exposed reef features. One kayak took on water and was abandoned.
A firefighter was sent out on a rescue board to contact the victims and assess the situation. The firefighter was able to negotiate through the coral features and tow all three people to the shoreline about 200 yards away at about 9 p.m., Haake said.
He said the three were cold and tired but uninjured.
A fishing vessel located the abandoned kayak and brought it to shore along Honoapiilani Highway.
Kula woman is shoplifting suspect
A Kula woman was arrested Thursday after she walked out of a Kahului store without paying for more than $400 in merchandise, police said.
Bail was set at $1,000 for Julia White, 48. She was charged with second-degree theft.
White was arrested at 1:12 p.m. after a Walmart security officer saw her behaving suspiciously in the store and placing merchandise in her bag, police said. She left the store without trying to pay for the merchandise, police said.
High-surf advisory for Molokai, Maui
A high-surf advisory has been posted for north- and west-facing shores of Molokai and for north-facing shores of Maui until 6 p.m. Sunday, the National Weather Service said.
Surf is expected to rise to 15 to 20 feet along north-facing shores and to 10 to 15 feet along west-facing shores. Surf is expected to grow larger tonight.
A distant low-pressure system in the North Pacific several days ago generated a northwest swell that will remain large through today. A second low-pressure system that passed the islands Thursday will reinforce the current swell late today.
It's possible that the advisory may be upgraded to a warning, the National Weather Service said.
The high surf will produce large breaking surf and significant shore break as well as dangerous rip currents.

MORGANTOWN — Randy Mazey, West Virginia's new baseball coach, continues to raise eyebrows from coast to coast as the Mountaineers elevated to a three-way tie in the Big 12 Conference for first place......
Did I read this story correctly? Did Mickey actually write a POSITIVE story about a Oliver Luck hire?

MARTINSBURG - Friends, colleagues, co-workers and members of the legal community paid a tear-filled, bittersweet farewell recently to two beloved, long-serving Berkeley County magistrates at a surprise retirement party in their honor.
Both Berkeley County Magistrates Sandra Miller and Joan Bragg will officially retire later this month when their current terms expire. Miller, who has served as a magistrate for the past 20 years, and Bragg, who served on the bench for 24 years and 10 months, both chose not to run for re-election in 2012. They leave behind long-held professional and working relationships with many in the local judicial and legal community.
Miller, who found it difficult to hold back tears, thanked all of those she has worked with over the years.

Judge Christopher Wilkes presents retiring Berkeley County Magistrates Sandra Miller and Joan Bragg with certificates of appreciation Thursday on behalf of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
"I've enjoyed working with every one of you, and, from the bottom part of my heart, I want to thank all of you. Thank you," Miller said.
Miller worked for Bragg as a secretary before going on to work with the public defender's office for two years prior to being elected to her first term two decades ago.
"We have a great group of people at Magistrate Court that we work with. I'm going to miss every one of them," Miller said.
Bragg, who served as city recorder for Martinsburg before being elected as a magistrate more than two decades ago, told those in attendance her retirement began to sink in Wednesday when her assistant, Joy Walls, began taking down the pictures in her office.
"I really, really do appreciate having worked here with all of you over the years. Everyone here is like family. Even though we know what jobs we have to do, we're still able to separate that whenever the time comes to do our job and you to do your job. I'm going to miss everybody a whole lot, but I've already told them all I'll be coming back to see you guys," Bragg said.
West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Court Judge Christopher Wilkes later presented the retiring judges with certificates of appreciation on behalf of West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin thanking them for their many years of dedicated and outstanding service to Berkeley County Magistrate Court and the citizens of the state.
Wilkes has known both Bragg and Miller personally for several years. In 1985, he was sworn in by Bragg when he took the bench as a Martinsburg Municipal Court judge. He also reminisced Thursday about days spent on the campaign trail with Miller in 1992.
"It's a joyous moment for the esteemed ladies to my right. It's a bittersweet moment for the rest of us at the courthouse," Wilkes said.
He said both outgoing judges have been wonderful assets to not only Berkeley County and the legal community, but the community as a whole.
"It's been my privilege not only to work with you ladies for all this time, but also to be able to be the one that can present this to you as a small token of our appreciation from not only Berkeley County, but the state of West Virginia for the service you have provided for us, the wonderful job you've done and I truly, heartfeltly mean that it is bittersweet," Wilkes said.
Both retiring magistrates have since been elevated to the position of senior status judges and Mennis E. Ketchum, Chief Justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, has issued an order declaring Dec. 24 a judicial holiday in recognition of Bragg's and Miller's service.
Deputy Coby Myers, a familiar face at the judicial center and supervisor of court security, also presented Miller and Bragg with plaques on behalf of the Berkeley County Deputy Sheriff's Association and the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department thanking them for their guidance to those in the local law enforcement community.
Perhaps those who will miss Bragg and Miller the most are their two long-serving assistants. Bragg's assistant, Walls, said working for the retiring magistrate has been the best 22 years of her life.
"Joanie is like a sister to me. We've had a professional relationship, a personal relationship -we're family. It's just going to be really hard not seeing her and everybody in this building after this," said Walls, who will also be retiring at the end of the year.
Miller's assistant, Brenda Whitford, worked for the retiring magistrate just shy of 15 years.
"As far as I'm concerned, Magistrate Miller is the best magistrate this county has ever had. She's very thorough, very fair, very knowledgeable and I will miss her greatly," said Whitford, who will stay on as an assistant following Miller's retirement.
