A Syracuse man wanted in connection with the stabbing of two guards at the Boulevard Mall last month was in custody Wednesday, Amherst police said.
The suspect, Dardrequez L. Haynes, 24, was scheduled to be arraigned in Amherst Town Court.
On the evening of Nov. 4, two loss-prevention guards suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds when they confronted a group of shoplifting suspects outside the mall.
Amherst police had been working with law enforcement authorities in Syracuse to try to locate Haynes in connection with the incident. It is not clear where Haynes was found. Sources told The Buffalo News he was arrested on an unrelated charge and was brought to Amherst on a warrant.

Mitt Romney may not have won the election, but he will be going to the White House anyway. President Obama has invited his vanquished rival for a private lunch Thursday.
Making good on a statement he made in his Election Night victory speech, when he alluded to "sitting down" with Romney to discuss "moving the country forward," the president and the former GOP nominee will be meeting for the first time since the Oct. 22 presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla.
In a Nov. 14 press conference, Obama said he thought having discussion with Romney could be helpful for the country.
"There may be ideas that he has with respect to jobs and growth that can help middle-class families that I want to hear," Obama said. "I'm not either prejudging what he's interested in doing, nor am I suggesting I've got some specific assignment."
Romney has been keeping a relatively low profile since the election, although he did enrage millions of Americans, many within his own party, when he told donors via a conference call on Nov. 14 that the reason he lost the election is because Obama "gave stuff" to low-income voters. He also posted a Thanksgiving Day photo showing him slightly disheveled as he appeared to hug (choke?) his wife, Ann. Other than that, he's been off the public radar.
First, some advice for Obama: Do not get your luncheon with Romney confused with the beer summit of 2009. Romney doesn't drink, and there's no need to tempt him. He will not—repeat, will not—want any of the White House's microbrewed beer, either. Good old-fashioned American tap water ought to do the trick.
Since there won't be booze involved, the president needs a way to liven things up a bit. It might be kind of funny to give Romney an "Obamaphone" just for kicks. The president can tell the governor that even though he doesn't think Romney voted for him, he still thinks he should get something anyway.
"Mitt, I'm the president for all Americans, not just those who voted for me. So I want you to have this Obamaphone. You can use it to call a doctor when I force you to drop the insurance you have now and go onto Obamacare. Heh-heh, just kidding."
As for Romney, he should not arrive empty-handed. The failed GOP nominee needs to bring the president a gift. Here's an idea: a Chicago Bears football helmet, in case the president leads the nation off the "fiscal cliff." Or if that seems too obtuse, maybe this wacky, "Godfather"-themed anti-Obamacare T-shirt will get a smile out of the president. Too contentious? Then how about this life-sized Big Bird doll? Romney would surely get a laugh out of the president if he said Big Bird needed a seat at the table, too.
Then again, Romney is not the type of person to waste money on a gift when he doesn't absolutely have to buy one, so maybe he should keep in simple and just give the president a piece of his mind.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Dr. Brody's division strives to shed light on the social, ethical, legal, and even economic issues likely to arise from the wider use of genomics in clinical settings. [NIH]
Soon after his lab in 1994 was among the first to report a link between BRCA1 and BRCA2 and breast and ovarian cancer in women, then between specific BRCA1 mutations and higher frequency in Ashkenazi Jews, Lawrence C. Brody, Ph.D., set out to make connections beyond the bench.
Dr. Brody and colleagues followed up with a survey of 5,318 Jewish men and women in the Washington, DC, area, comparing results from anonymous genetic testing of blood samples with personal and family cancer histories. Fewer mutations were found in all age and cancer history subgroups than predicted from models based on data from cancer genetic screening clinics. Participants were disproportionately female, well-educated, and affiliated with synagogues and other Jewish organizations.
Questions raised by the research sparked Dr. Brody's interest in the societal impacts of genetics and genomics—issues he and staffers will explore in his new position as the first director of the newly established Division of Genomics and Society at NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
A 20-year NIH veteran, Dr. Brody has relinquished his post as chief of the Genome Technology Branch within NHGRI's intramural research program, a position he has held since 2010. He will retain the post he's held since 2006 as CSO of the trans-NIH Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR), an NIH-funded facility operated by Johns Hopkins University that provides next-generation sequencing and genotyping services to investigators. In his new position, as at CIDR, Dr. Brody is expected to interact with all of the agency's 27 institutes and centers.
Dr. Brody's division will strive to generate data it hopes will shed light rather than heat on the social, ethical, legal, and even economic issues likely to arise as better understanding of the genome enables wider use of genomics in clinical settings. The division will employ five or six direct staffers.
"We're hoping to get out and take the genome for test drives," Dr. Brody told GEN. "We would hope that clinicians at all levels would be interested in participating in some of these test drives, in the form of research projects."
Dr. Brody would not discuss upcoming projects, but did say they are envisioned as taking place beyond the large academic medical centers that have traditionally driven clinical research, into community institutions: "Most of the country probably does not receive its average healthcare from academic medical centers, so I think we would expect to be looking at other caregiver organizations as well."
"What we want to do with genomic advances is try to do our homework either as we're doing it, or ahead of time," he said—to find out, for example, if people can be stratified for colon cancer screening based on biomarkers and other genetic data rather than simply age, then study how that could be implemented, and its effects on healthcare delivery and reimbursement.
"Genetics has that potential. I don't think we're exactly there for that example yet, because we're not that great at predicting risk, but that would have the potential to change the system," Dr. Brody said. "We're not at the stage where we can just introduce more and more expensive technology into the healthcare system."
In articulating a primarily research role to inform NIH policymakers at the intersection of science and society, Dr. Brody's division differs from entities in and outside government that have recommended, or will recommend, more prescriptive answers.
The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, for example, last year urged that individual genetic privacy interests be respected and secured—in part by Washington joining states in developing "a consistent floor of protections" ensuring security for whole-genome sequence data. Until now, federal action has been limited to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), which bars employment discrimination based on genetic information.
This past November, Kaiser Permanente joined the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and UC Hastings College of Law in announcing the launch of the Center for Transdisciplinary ELSI Research in Translational Genomics.
Over three years, CT2G will study the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of translating genomic findings into clinical care, with an eye to educating professionals about the issues that underlie genomic data privacy. The importance of privacy, and how easily it can be breached, were illustrated earlier this year when Yaniv Erlich, Ph.D., and colleagues at the Whitehead Institute needed just a computer, an Internet connection, and publicly accessible online resources to identify nearly 50 individuals who had submitted personal genetic material for genomic studies.
CT2G, which is funded through a $780,000 NHGRI grant, will have working groups examine race/ethnicity and sex/gender in translational genomics, the boundary between genomics research and clinical care, and community governance and genomics. CT2G's co-directors are Barbara A. Koenig, Ph.D., of UCSF and Carol P. Somkin, Ph.D., a research scientist with Kaiser Permanente.
"It is heartening to see increasing recognition of the importance of ELSI and wider considerations in preparing for the growth in genomic medicine internationally; increased knowledge and understanding of such issues can only be a good thing, and multidisciplinary input is vital," the U.K.'s nonprofit PHG Foundation said in a statement, citing both CT2G and Dr. Brody's appointment.
Dr. Brody's division is expected to build upon the work of NHGRI's ELSI research program, established in 1990 as part of the Human Genome Project. In 2011, that program articulated four research priorities in a strategic plan for the future of human genome research, called Charting a Course for Genomic Medicine from Base Pairs to Bedside:
He said the added research wouldn't necessarily pose the risk of slowing down development of new medicines needed by patients—an argument industry can be expected to make based how drug developers initially chafed at FDA's requiring additional studies during clinical trials almost a decade ago.
"I don't think it would if you build in data gathering in such a way that we hope it's pretty usable for evaluating outcomes—not just the outcomes for health, but also the outcomes for patients' understanding and well-being as well," Dr. Brody said. "That model would be a missed opportunity if we didn't try to do that."
Dr. Brody joined NHGRI in 1993 as a senior staff fellow, and eight years later became senior investigator and head of the Molecular Pathogenesis Section in the Genome Technology Branch. At NHGRI, he co-created the Multiplex Initiative designed to improve understanding of how the general public comprehends and reacts to personal genetic testing results.
Also at NHGRI, Dr. Brody collaborated with researchers at Howard University to describe mutations and rare variants in BRCA1 carried by African-Americans with breast and ovarian cancer from 74 families. Eight distinct protein-truncating mutations were detected in six women and two men, with two of the eight not having been previously described. Of 11 different polymorphisms identified in high-risk African-American breast cancer patients, four may be unique to African Americans.
Dr. Brody's experience dealing with distinct populations should help his new division persuade key stakeholders—both within government and the research community—that it can effectively address the societal questions arising from genome research, and that addressing those questions will ultimately produce better research, with better data through which not only investigators benefit, but ultimately patients as well.

In France, a Mission to Return the Military's Carrier Pigeons to Active Duty
Grounded After Modern Communication Devices Soared, Birds May Offer Low-Tech Solutions; No Round Trips
SURESNES, France—The French military boasts a powerful army with nuclear submarines, ballistic missiles and spy satellites. For lawmaker Jean-Pierre Decool, however, the country is neglecting one of its mightiest weapons: its flock of carrier pigeons.
Glorified for their roles in World War I, pigeon squadrons have long been removed from active duty because of the introduction of more reliable, all-weather communication systems.
And yet the French Defense Ministry still operates a military dovecote—Europe's last—with 150 birds drafted into the 8th regiment for communication and transmission. The birds reside at the Mont-Valérien fortress in Suresnes, to the west of Paris. While a corporal sees to their upkeep and training, they are not ranked as a strategic asset.
"That's a big mistake," says Mr. Decool, who visits the birds at their home near a pigeon-post museum dedicated to the history of the winged servants.
The center-right lawmaker draws hawkish scenarios—a nuclear catastrophe, a hurricane, a war—where racing homers would be the last-resort messaging network. In the Syrian city of Homs, insurgents defying the regime of President Bashar al-Assad are relying on carrier pigeons to communicate because their walkie-talkies are out of reach, he says.
"Where modernity stops, pigeons can still go through," Mr. Decool says.
In July, the 60-year-old sent French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian a letter asking him to clarify France's carrier-pigeon strategy. Two weeks later, the response arrived in the mail.
The minister said that French forces were equipped with self-sufficient communications systems that could resist power failure, cyber or electromagnetic attacks. Should France face a real need for carrier pigeons, the minister said, it could rely on "the precious support" of the country's pigeon fanciers—a flock of folks he estimates to number about 20,000.
Last year, Mr. Decool became concerned that France could be outdone in carrier-pigeon expertise by China, which maintains a platoon of 50,000 birds with 1,100 trainers for communication in border and coastal areas, according to the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.
But a plan to hatch ideas with the Chinese landed on deaf ears. Then-French Defense Minister Gérard Longuet said the country couldn't stoop to such tactics. In response, he said there was a risk Chinese pigeons would "carry French messages back to China!"
French top brass didn't always shoo away the birds.
In 1870, when the Prussian army put Paris under siege, the prefect of the Nord region had 1,500 pigeons shipped to the capital to keep up the communication with the northern towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing.
Parisians, in turn, sent hot-air balloons loaded with their own pigeons to other cities, so that the besieged capital could receive a steady flow of news from the rest of the country.
When World War I broke out, the French army could count on 15,000 fully trained carrier pigeons, securing a direct communication line between Paris, Lyon and the eastern outposts.
One bird rose to be one of the war's most revered heroes. Surrounded by German enemies in Verdun, a French commander managed to telegraph by pigeon that his garrison was facing a poison-gas attack.
"This is my last pigeon," the message said.
The bird, Le Vaillant, skipped German bullets and flew through toxic clouds, back to its dovecote, helping save 100 lives. At the end of the war, he was decorated with the Cross of War, a distinction reserved for French war heroes.
"He's my inspiration," said Mr. Decool, casting a respectful look on Le Vaillant's stuffed body, which is on display at the pigeon-post museum.
During peace times, carrier pigeons have also proved useful for civilian missions.
Until fairly recently, the hospital of Granville, a small port town in Normandy, used pigeons to ship blood samples to a test lab in Avranches, some 15 miles away.
Special harnesses allowed the birds to carry test tubes attached to their bodies. Once released in Granville, it took a pigeon 25 minutes to deliver the important cargo.
"It's about the same time it takes by car, except that instead of gasoline you just need a handful of grains," said Yves Le Henaff, head of the Avranches-based blood-testing service. The program ceased in 1992 upon the pigeon-keeper's death.
On a recent Wednesday, Mr. Decool was inspecting the military dovecote in Suresnes.
Folding and unfolding the wings of a white pigeon he held in his hand, Mr. Decool warned the fort's military staff that the birds' morphology was not good enough to engage in long flights. White pigeons, he explained, are popular at weddings and peace celebrations the world over, but their fair feathers are the sign of an inferior gene pool.
"You need some fresh blood here," Mr. Decool told the army men present.
With few supporters for his idea to re-create a full-fledged pigeon air force, the lawmaker is working on an alternative plan: to use pigeons as a backup brigade for homeland security.
The first customer, he muses, could be Electricité de France, EDF -0.92 % which operates the country's 58 nuclear-power reactors.
With quick, short strokes of pencil, Mr. Decool sketches his contingency plan to prevent a breakdown in communication if a major, Fukushima-like nuclear accident occurred.
A mobile dovecote—called A—would sit inside the security perimeter around the reactor, while the main dovecote—called B—would be set up outside it, about 30 miles away. Because the pigeons fly one way only—toward home—a flock of about 50 birds would need to be shifted periodically to the reactor. In case of an incident, they'd head home with key news.
"Why not," said Patrick Lagadec, a professor at France's elite engineering school École Polytechnique, who specializes in nonconventional crisis management. "If there's a major blackout, the cellular network will be the first to fall. From there, one can't predict how the crisis would unfold."
A spokeswoman for EDF declined to comment.
Finishing his recent tour of the carrier-pigeon museum, Mr. Decool stopped in front of an exhibition of miniature airborne spying equipment that could be fitted on birds, long before the advent of surveillance drones.
"Pigeons are superior animals," he says. "You can see that in their eyes."

The illustration accompanying this article was incorrectly identified in an earlier version as being of Le Vaillant. The bird in the drawing is a different carrier pigeon.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
AstraZeneca will use Foundation Medicine's molecular information platform to identify alterations in tumor genes that may predict a person's response or resistance to targeted cancer therapies.
Foundation Medicine was also granted right of first negotiation for the development of potential diagnostic products under the multi-year collaboration. The collaboration will use Foundation Medicine's initial clinical product FoundationOne™, a genomic profile designed to identify a patient's individual molecular alterations, then match them with relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials.
"Together, we expect to enable a more individualized, targeted approach to cancer drug development and clinical trials," Michael J. Pellini, M.D., Foundation Medicine's president and CEO, said in a statement.
Cancer is among AZ's primary areas of drug development focus, along with gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neuroscience, respiratory and inflammation, and infectious disease.
However, AZ is not the first pharma giant with which Foundation Medicine has collaborated. In June, Novartis agreed to run Foundation Medicine's genomic profiling on most Phase I and II clinical trial enrollees over the next three years, with the goal of accelerating the development of Novartis' portfolio of targeted cancer therapeutics and thus expanding treatment options for patient use. That collaboration marked an expansion from the two companies' initial strategic pilot announced in January 2011, in which Foundation Medicine agreed to develop, enhance, and optimize its cancer genome panel test for Novartis.
In January 2012, Foundation Medicine agreed to use its genomic sequencing and analytic capabilities to identify genetic biomarkers and potential companion diagnostics for "select" Sanofi oncology drug candidates, according to a statement from the companies.

The High Holy Days are a time of reflection and introspective for people of the Jewish faith.
The 10-day period begins with Rosh Hashanah, which falls on Sept. 4 this year, and ends with Yom Kippur on Sept. 14.
It is a time to evaluate one's life and consider ways to improve it and make amends.
It is a time for repairing relationships with each other and to ask forgiveness from God, said Rabbi Josh Wohl of Agudath Achim Synagogue.
"How can we ask God to forgive us if we won't forgive our fellow man," he asked.
Wohl noted that Abraham and Isaac's relationship may have been damaged by a lack of forgiveness.
"After Abraham nearly sacrifices his son, they never speak again in the Bible," Wohl said. "Their relationship ceases to exist in the Bible."
"Abraham never asked Isaac for forgiveness," he said.
"Forgiveness is essential to love," Wohl said. The notion from the movie 1970 "Love Story" that "love means you never have to say your sorry" is incorrect.
Wohl added that forgiveness does not condone the act, but the person who has been offended no longer feels hatred or a desire for revenge in his or her soul.
He said he once counseled a woman who had been divorced for many years, yet she still harbored ill feelings toward her former spouse. He said being consumed with hatred can make a person bitter.
"People don't want to be around you," he said.
But when a person forgives another, it's a letting go that brings freedom to the soul, Wohl said.
Rabbi Audrey Korotkin of Temple Beth Israel said forgiveness does not happen automatically.
"You have to work for it," she said.
Korotkin said the person who committed the wrongful act has to turn his or her life around.
"You can't sin and atone and sin and atone. You have to really mean it," she said. "Repentance has to be sincere. The behavior has to change."
"The High Holy Days provide an opportunity to start on the path to forgiveness. Rosh Hashanah opens the door. You have to go through that door, take that path toward a different way of behaving," Korotkin said.
Services for the High Holy Days are as follows:
Agudath Achim Synagogue
Rosh Hashanah - 7:15 p.m. Wednesday; 9:30 a.m. Thursday with Tashlich at 4 p.m. at the Hollidaysburg Area YMCA; 9:30 a.m. Sept. 6 and 9:30 a.m. Sept. 7.
Yom Kippur - 9:30 a.m., 3:15 (forum), 5:55 and 8 p.m. (break the fast) Sept. 14.
Temple Beth Israel
Rosh Hashanah - 8 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m. Thursday.
Yom Kippur - 8 p.m. Sept. 13; 10 a.m., 3 p.m., 4:30 p.m. (memorial service) and 5:15 p.m. Sept. 14.
Chabad Lubavitch Jewish Center of Greater Altoona
Rosh Hashanah - 10 a.m. Thursday and Sept. 6, shofar blowing, services.
Yom Kippur - 7:30 p.m. Sept. 13, (Kol Nidrei service) and 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 14.

The application's name is PittPatt and it allows
a complete stranger to find your identity -- your real identity -- in under 60 seconds.
Here's how it works. A client code calls the PittPatt interface
with a picture it's taken. PittPatt jumps online and compares that
picture to millions of images in Facebook and in Google Inc.'s (GOOG)
image search, using advanced facial recognition technology.
And within 60 seconds, it can identify an individual.
The technology is more than a little creepy. It seems
straight out of futurist thriller flick The Minority Report, where
Tom Cruise's character is assailed by advertising billboards that ID him by
retinal scans. In the movie Cruise solves this problem by replacing his
eyeballs. In real life it won't be that simple (hint: you might need
facial modification).
PittPatt was a Carnegie Mellon
University research project, which spun off into a company post
9/11. At the time, U.S. intelligence was obsessed with using advanced facial recognition to
identify terrorists. So the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) poured millions into
And it worked. PittPatt's proprietary technology can spot
faces even when people wear sunglasses, hats, or masks. While that sounds
like a bank robber's worst nightmare, it's also alarming news for law abiding
Now the technology is in the hands of advertising giant Google.
Google purchased the company for an undisclosed price in July.
PittPatt announced on its website, "Joining
Google is the next thrilling step in a journey that began with research at
Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute in the 1990s and continued with
the launching of Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (PittPatt) in 2004."
"We've worked hard to advance the research and technology in
many important ways and have seen our technology come to life in some very
interesting products. At Google, computer vision technology is already at the
core of many existing products (such as Image Search, YouTube, Picasa, and
Goggles), so it's a natural fit to join Google and bring the benefits of our
research and technology to a wider audience. We will continue to tap the
potential of computer vision in applications that range from simple photo
organization to complex video and mobile applications."
Just two months prior it had been all denials and winks when
Google was confronted with a CNN story which had a Google engineer on record
stating that facial recognition technology was being developed to add to Google
Goggles. Stated Google at the time, "As we've said for more than a
year, we will not add facial recognition to Goggles unless we have strong
privacy protections in place. We're still working on them. We have nothing to
announce at this time."
Alessandro Acquisti,
Ph.D, a researcher and instructor still at Carnegie Mellon has designed an
iPhone app that functions as a front end for PittPatt's facial recognition
technology. As mentioned, it can identify strangers Facebook profiles
with startling accuracy.
And that's not all it can do. It also incorporates searches
of public databases that allows it to make a good guess at your social security
number. If it knows your date of birth (e.g. if your Facebook profile is
public), there's a good chance it can ID your social security number.
Of course, the app relies on finding publicly available pictures
of you online. You can always put a picture of something other than your
face as your profile image for social networks like Facebook and Google Plus. But given the fact that many
professional positions involve media exposure and/or online corporate bios,
that may not be enough to protect your privacy.
Professor Acquisiti, showed his app off to NPR.
The news service writes:
Fred Cate [a law professor and privacy guru at Indiana University]
says just imagine if you were a car dealer. You could hook Acquisti's app up to
your surveillance cameras, identify potential customers, then check their
incomes and credit ratings while they wandered around your lot.
Alessandro Acquisti has no plans to sell his app or make it public. In fact,
the prospect of that horrifies him. But Cate thinks the commercial pressure to
use technology like this will be intense. And some of the biggest companies in
America agree. PittPatt was just bought by Google. But its technology only
exists because of investments the government made in research in the wake of
the attacks 10 years ago.
The app isn't publicly
available. And stalkers and frauds still have to resort to conventional
methods like climbing in your window, sifting through your
mail, or sending you phishing emails.
But if there's one take
home message of the Google-PittPatt deal, it's the revelation that we're
approaching an era where it will be incredibly difficult to protect one's
privacy and finances. When and if this technology hits the public it will
shake both the social and financial foundations of society and no one can
honestly say exactly what the end result will be.
quote: Wrong? Me? Never. The fact that you can legally take pictures of anyone in a public place would easily open the door for this technology to be abused by government/law enforcement. The scans and searches imposed by the TSA for people wanting to fly are also a violation of the 4th amendment.
quote: Really you have to resort to name calling?
quote: Just because the technology has the potential for abuse does not mean it is unconstitutional. GPS is technology that can track your location is it unconstitutional to have it in your cell phone when there is a chance for abuse from the police. Technology is also going to evolve and as it evolves there will always be a chance for abuse. Does that mean the technology is unconstitutional? That would be ridiculous to assume any new technology with a chance of abuse from the government should not be made.
quote: As for the other two points I don't really care since it is off the point of the article.

Lobos football coach Bob Davie and UNM have agreed to a two year contract extension that will keep Davie at the University through the 2019 season.
Financial terms from Davie's original contract remain unchanged.
Athletic director Paul Krebs said he likes the direction Davie is taking the UNM program and believes its headed in the right direction. The Lobos ended its season with a 4-9 record and within a touchdown of several other victories last season during Davie's first year as head coach.
New Mexico had won only three games total in the previous three seasons.
Another victory for Davie: The Lobo football team's fall grade-point average of 2.62 was its highest fall average since 2008.

A fun way to get from point A to point B
by 95Intrepid99Kid from | December 17, 2012
Lets just start off with the 3.5L V6 Engine that comes as an option for the Intrepid. I have this in my car (which was purchased new in 1995) and will say, as long as you use the proper spark plugs (gapped to .035 for anyone who needs to know) This car will start nice and easy, not to mention it will heat up the interior quite quickly. It struck a deer one month after we bought it, and still drove home. Needless to say, this car is well worth the money.

This car is okay
by SableFan from Rockford, IL | July 14, 2012
I purchased this car used, in 2009, with (I think) about 110,000 miles on it. I'm still driving this car, but I will be upgrading soon as it has recently begun to nickel and dime me and I plan to be doing some pretty regular out of town commuting. I'm pushing 146,000 miles now. Its roomy interior and cushy seats sold me. Being a nearly 6 foot tall woman, I need the seat to move back far enough--and it does. The after market stereo in it was stolen shortly after I purchased it, but it didn't work anyway, so haha, thieves. I replaced it with another after market stereo and it works (even though you can't just plug the wire harness into this Dodge, you have to connect each wire yourself). I will say that the ease of installation isn't bad (it helped that I had a friend that knows his stuff). The car runs. I will give it that. Maybe not well, but it does. This car reminds me of the old cartoons where a car is bouncing down the road and springs, bolts, and various pieces of car are falling out with each bounce. Somehow, one manages to get to a destination, however. Hmm, so what have I replaced in three years? I've replaced the front/rear pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid lines (sigh), the starter, a battery, some part of the exhaust system (pipe), a fuel regulator thingy (I don't remember what it's called, but it regulates gas pressure into the engine, I think, and it was leaking gas everywhere--fun). Not too bad, right? I mean, this car is old. What does it still need? Ha, okay, sway bar links (in the front for sure), passenger side mirror, driver's seat, horn (really? yes, really), and air conditioning. Oh, and a wheel bearing. Also looming? An ever increasing oil leak that I haven't addressed (and won't on any car this old). There's probably more. Luckily, whoever owned this car before me replaced the transmission, so yay for that. This car is okay. It's exactly what I expected from a mid-'90s Dodge. On the plus side, now that I replaced that fuel regulator thingy I'm getting around 30mph highway and 26mph in the city. It's a little hard to me to judge that because I live in the country-ish outskirts of a big city, but the gas mileage isn't bad for a Dodge this old. All I can say is, be diligent on your maintenance of this vehicle. As soon as you notice something clanking, banging, leaking out, or falling off (and you will)--take care of it immediately. Good luck.

Best Car I've Owned
by Intrepid Lover from Wyoming | January 17, 2010
I bought my Intrepid in 1999 when it had about 60K miles on it. I traded it in in 2006 with 250,000 miles, and it was still going strong. The car is incredible roomy, and very comfortable for long road trips. It handles better than most smaller sedans, and the V6 has plenty of power for passing. Finally, I can say from experience that it's a very safe car! I hit a deer on the interstate doing about 80, and the airbag deployed. If I'd been in a smaller/weaker car, I might have been injured, but the Intrepid held up well. A 1995 model will be about 15 years old now, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy one for my son. I'd highly recommend this as a first car for someone you care about, or as a commuter car for yourself.

Fab 1st!
by Dodge Driver from Long Island, NY | May 5, 2007
I just purchased my first car, a '95 Intrepid from a neighbor. It doesn't have much by way of bells and whistles, but it seems to be a good, reliable, well-built car. There were a few small problems, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. As always, prudence is key when purchasing a used vehicle, paticurlarly from a individual as opposed to a dealership. Also, make sure that the owner has dealt with any recalls, and if they haven't, they should give you enough money off the price to compensate. The initial test drive lasted 45 minutes, during which time a tested handling, performance and performed a variety of manuevers at both high and low speeds, all which were handled by the vehicle very well. Overall, a great vehicle!

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Two providers of technologies widely used in biopharma reflected similar fortunes as they released fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 results yesterday that showed reduction in red ink, but continuing uncertainty over the future.
Affymetrix vowed to get back in the black this year, following a fourth-quarter 2012 in which it narrowed its GAAP net loss from a year earlier—to $12.3 million or 17 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $14.7 million, or 21 cents per diluted share in the final three months of 2011.
Excluding special items, the non-GAAP net loss was $1.3 million or 2 cents per diluted share, versus $8.3 million or 12 cents per diluted share in Q4 2011.
"We plan to return to growth and profitability in fiscal 2013," Frank Witney, Ph.D., Affymetrix's president and CEO, said in a statement. "We had a good finish to 2012, achieving modest growth in our core business during the fourth quarter, which was a very challenging environment for academic spending."
Uncertainty over the fiscal cliff in Washington and continued concern about the size of eventual federal budget cuts dampened sales among Affy's customers in universities and other research institutions. That explains why, in its core business of consumables, Affymetrix racked up $53.1 million in revenue during Q4 2012, down 3% from $54.9 million. However, instrument revenue rose more than one third (37%), to $5.2 million from $3.8 million a year earlier.
Saving Affymetrix' bottom line from sinking further—and boosting its top line—was results from eBioscience, the maker of flow cytometry and immunoassay reagent products that Affy acquired for $315 million cash in June. eBioscience accounted for $18.1 million in new revenue during Q4 2012; Affymetrix did not furnish a net-income number attributable to eBioscience.
However, Affymetrix did say that without eBioscince, its quarterly total revenue would have risen only 2%. Total revenues rose during Q4 to $84.4 million—$76.4 million in product revenue, the remaining $8 million in service and other revenue.
For all of 2012, Affymetrix more than halved its GAAP net loss to $10.7 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, compared with a 2011 net loss of $28.2 million, or 40 cents per diluted share. Non-GAAP net loss last year was $6.8 million or 10 cents per diluted share, an improvement from 2011's net loss of $13.0 million or 18 cents per diluted share.
Total revenue was $295.6 million—a 3% decrease from 2011 after excluding $37 million from eBioscience.
This year, Affymetrix is expecting better numbers in part from a restructuring projected to achieve about $25 million in annual savings, of which $5 million is in cost-of-goods sold. The company said it expects to record a total charge against Q1 2013 earnings of approximately $7 million, on top of the $1.8 million charge taken in 2012.
At least two analysts share Affy's optimism. "The turnaround story moves from realignment and stabilization to profitable growth. Genotyping and genetic analysis growth stand out, and recent cost cuts better-position Affymetrix to accelerated profitability," Peter Lawson, Ph.D., and Eric Criscuolo of Mizuho Securities wrote in a note to investors.
PerkinElmer finished Q4 2012 with a nearly $15.9 million net loss from continuing operations, or EPS of 14 cents, blamed on increasing pension contributions. The result showed improvement from the company's $83.6 million net loss or EPS of 74 cents a year earlier, when the company took significant charges against earnings. The company's quarterly revenue rose 6% year-to-year to $572.9 million from $539.3 million in Q4 2011.
For all of 2012, PerkinElmer finished the year with a net income of $69.9 million, up from nearly $7.7 million in 2011. However, operating cash flow from continuing operations plunged by more than one third—$153.6 million versus $234 million in 2011—since last year's results reflected what the company said were increased pension contributions, tax payments, incremental working capital, and prepaid royalties.
"We are pleased with our strong finish to 2012, particularly in light of difficult year-over-year comparisons in the fourth quarter," Robert Friel, PerkinElmer's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "This performance caps another solid year of revenue growth and adjusted operating margin expansion, which we believe is a result of our differentiated detection, imaging, and informatics portfolios each focused on attractive end markets."
That strong finish includes several PE initiatives announced during Q4—such as the company's acquisition of Shanghai-based Haoyuan Biotech, a supplier of molecular infectious disease screening technologies, and a collaboration with Verinata Health to distribute its noninvasive prenatal fetal test.
"The combination of PerkinElmer's distribution channel and capability and Haoyuan's leading automation assay technology and manufacturing expertise creates a formidable competitor in the large and growing Chinese blood screening and diagnostic markets," Friel said during a conference call, according to a transcript published by Seeking Alpha.
He added that uncertainty over the fiscal cliff and sequestration helped dampen U.S. sales, especially in its research business.
PerkinElmer expects a better 2013, judging from its guidance to investors. The company said it expects organic revenue growth "in the mid-single digit range" over 2012, with this year's GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations to fall between $1.57 per share to $1.65 per share. Non-GAAP EPS, which excludes special items, is expected by PerkinElmer to range from $2.24 to $2.32.
A restructuring effort should start paying off this year, and especially so next year, analysts Dan Leonard and Justin Bowers, CFA, of Leerink Swann wrote in a note to investors.
"We expect the company's efforts to reduce its manufacturing footprint and move more manufacturing to low-cost geographies should be completed by mid-year, and its efforts to streamline its back-office functions will be ongoing throughout the year. The full benefits from both should materialize in 2014," Leonard and Bowers wrote.

Stanfield Gray aimed so high with his inaugural Dig South Interactive Festival that many wondered if he could actually pull it off.
There weren't just a series of tech-themed panel discussions planned. There were two days of them, four and five at a time. There would be not one, but two exhibitor halls. And then there were the evening concerts and other social gatherings around town.
Gray and his team went for it in a kind of "go hard or go home" spirit, and in the days following the April 12-14 fest, the consensus from tweets to lengthier press reviews seems clear: They succeeded, especially considering this was the first fest. "It went much better than I'd hoped," Gray said Wednesday, his voice still a bit hoarse from the big weekend.
While some thought the turnout was light, Gray said 454 people attended the main conference at the College of Charleston's TD Arena and that more than 3,000 people showed up for some part of the festival.
"We were very honored that people believed in it and got behind it," said Gray, who organized Dig South while holding down his job as director of strategic communications for the college, the host sponsor.
Others found fault with the price of tickets, which ranged from $5 for the exhibitor expo to more than $400 for the whole festival. Gray understood that critique but put it in context. "For some people locally, that may have seemed expensive, but for the amount of events we had and 134 presenters ... it's much lower than South by Southwest and the Idea Festival," he said, naming more established events of the same type in Austin, Texas, and Lexington, Ky. "For us, we were trying really hard to keep it low but fund something on this scale."
The impressive keynote speaker, Robert Tercek, one of the few paid presenters, and the high-quality audiovisual effects throughout the arena seemed to justify Gray's strategy.
Still, Gray said he'll learn from Dig South 2013. For next year's fest, he hopes to get sponsors to cover more of the production costs, and he's also thinking about spreading the festival around more Charleston venues. Based on comments both attendees and exhibitors, the expo format might also need adjustments.
Gray said he hasn't received all invoices yet, but he thinks the festival turned a profit — the bottom line for a start-up business with 19 year-round and temporary employees.
"We're proud of where we are," Gray said. "I think we've created a blueprint of something that will last for many years."

Dear students,
As we embark on an exciting and rewarding academic year, I want to welcome each of you to campus and share some updates from the Division of Student Affairs.
As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Marquette is committed to supporting our students' physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. During the past several years, we have focused on educating students about the risks associated with alcohol and drug use. Building on those efforts, effective for the fall 2012 semester, some changes in our drug and alcohol policies and procedures will go into effect. Key points to know about the updated policies are as follows:
Fines are detailed in the university's Alcoholic Beverages Use and Consumption Policy and Drug Policy, and are being enacted to minimize harm on campus due to alcohol and drugs. The safety, security and well-being of all of our students remains our highest priority, and I ask each of you to be accountable for helping maintain a safe environment on campus.
Other programs and developments I'd like to call your attention to include:
Beyond these changes, don't forget about the ongoing services of Student Educational Services for tutoring and academic health, the Counseling Center to support your mental health, and Campus Ministry to strengthen your faith.
The Marquette family will be here each step of the way this semester to share in your triumphs, support you through setbacks and challenge you with new ways of thinking. If you have any questions about our services, please visit the Division of Student Affairs website, or call our central office at 414-288-7206 for assistance.
Dr. L. Christopher Miller

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
The procedure will be done with general anesthesia, so you will be unaware and won't feel any pain. Doctors will insert a tube through your mouth and into your windpipe to help you breathe. You will also have a tube in your nose down to your stomach to drain your stomach contents. A catheter will keep your bladder empty.
Your surgeon will make a cut in your chest to remove your diseased lung. The main airway to that lung and the blood vessels between that lung and your heart will then be connected to the donor lung. For some lung transplants, you may be connected to a heart-lung machine, which circulates your blood during the operation.
A single-lung transplant takes about four to eight hours to complete, while a double-lung transplant usually takes six to 12 hours.
Immediately after the surgery, you'll spend several days in the hospital's intensive care unit. A mechanical ventilator will help you breathe for a few days, and tubes in your chest will drain fluids from around your lungs and heart.
A tube in a vein will deliver strong medications to control pain and to prevent rejection of your new lung. As your condition improves, you'll no longer need the mechanical ventilator and you'll be moved out of the intensive care unit. Recovery often involves a one- to three-week hospital stay.
After you're discharged from the hospital, you'll require about three months of frequent monitoring by the lung transplant team to prevent, detect and treat complications and to assess your lung function. During this time, you'll need to stay close to the transplant center. Your follow-up visits may involve laboratory tests, chest X-rays, an electrocardiogram (ECG) and checkups with a specialist.
Living a healthy lifestyle is key to sustaining your new lung. Smoking isn't allowed, and the use of alcohol is strictly limited. Following a nutritious diet also can help you stay healthy.
Exercise is an extremely important part of rehabilitation after your lung transplant and will begin within days of your surgery. Your health care team will work with you to design an exercise program that's right for you.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Following up on last week's sampling of laws for the new year, here are a few more.
• Unloaded Rifles: It is now unlawful to carry unloaded rifles on city streets except for people engaged in hunting, target shooting, parades, licensed gun shows, firearm sales or other similar activities. Before January 2012, it was lawful in California to carry an unloaded pistol in plain view, but no more. Just to fire some of you up, I know it's lawful in some states to buy a so-called assault rifle without any waiting period or mental health screening.
• TV Ads: Under a new Federal Trade Commission regulation, it is now unlawful to have television ads louder than the program itself. I love that.
• Mammography Insurance: AB 137 requires health insurance policies to cover mammographies for screening or diagnostic purposes upon referral by doctors or other health care practitioners.
• Digital Textbooks: Two new bills open up the door for producing digital textbooks for 50 of the most widely taken lower-division courses in California colleges and universities - when money is available. That may be awhile.
• Education: Sticking to the education theme, a new bill de-emphasizes standardized tests in evaluating public schools and requires other factors such as graduation rates and college-going rates to be used in calculating a school's Academic Performance Index. Interesting.
• Online Rent: A new law prohibits landlords from requiring online payments.
• Foreclosures: A series of new laws substantially expand homeowner rights regarding foreclosures. Details in a future column.
• ADA: Significant changes have been made to California's ADA laws in an effort to prohibit "shakedown" suits. More on that later.
• Hands-Free Texting: A new bill allows drivers to send or listen to text messages with a hands-free device. "Take over Siri, I'll be napping."
• Sexual Orientation: SB 1172 prohibits therapy on homosexual or other minors that attempts to alter their sexual orientation. There must be a story there.
• Grooming at Work: A new law bans discrimination based on religious dress or grooming, so for example Sikhs' turbans must be allowed.
• Undocumented Drivers: A new law allows undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers licenses, specifically those in the federal Deferred Action Program.
• Fish and Wildlife: A bunch of new laws were passed making changes to the California Department of Fish and Game, including the name has been changed to the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
• Proof of Insurance: You can now show proof of car insurance with your cell phone.
• Drinking on Buses: AB 45 holds party bus operators to the same standards as limousine drivers, making them legally responsible for drinking by under-aged passengers. I suppose that means for injuries they cause after the bus ride.
• Urine Test: AB 2020, which I have not yet read, apparently takes away the option of a urine test when you're stopped for a suspected DUI.
• New Employment Laws: The Democratic Legislature passed all sorts of pro-employee laws this year, although Governor Brown thankfully vetoed a bill that would have required overtime pay and meal and rest break protections for domestic workers. Here are the Assembly and Senate Bill numbers if you are interested: AB 1396, AB 2675, AB 2103, AB 1844, AB 2674, AB 1744, AB 1606, AB 1964, AB 2386, AB 2343, SB 1234, SB 923 and SB 1255.
• Silver Alert: Here's one that's right up my alley. We now have not only an Amber Alert but a Silver Alert system for missing people over 65-years-old. I may be missing some of my marbles, but I am not missing.

Summerville won a shootout with cross-town rival Ashley Ridge Friday.
The Green Wave earned a 39-33 victory to improve to 8-2 with a 4-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA.
"We scored 39 points but we never slowed them down," Summerville coach John McKissick said. "Our defense didn't play good so I just feel fortunate that we won. They have done a good job over there."
Summerville clinched a region title with the win and can complete a clean sweep through the region with a win at Bluffton Friday. The Swamp Foxes (4-6, 2-2) are hoping to secure a spot in the playoffs with a win over Fort Dorchester this week.
"Both these offenses have a lot of playmakers so we felt like it might be a bit of a track meet," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "I think we matched Summerville physically and our kids played with effort and that is all I ask of them. I'm disappointed with the loss, but I'm not disappointed with their effort."
The opening 24 minutes of the game were largely a competition between the players wearing the No. 24 jerseys. Summerville sophomore Chris Felder carried 12 times for more than 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the first half while Ashley Ridge junior Tyler Garland carried 12 times for approximately 50 yards and two TDs.
Summerville opened the game with a 69-yard scoring drive. Felder had a 45-yard carry into the red zone and then capped the drive with an 8-yard run into the end zone.
Ashley Ridge answered by covering 80 yards to score. Swamp Fox quarterback Chandler Avenel had runs of 14 and 10 yards on the drive and completed a 15-yard pass to receiver Dashaun Santiago. Garland did most of the rest and scored on a run from seven yards out.
Summerville was set to take a 14-7 lead into the second quarter after Felder capped a 65-yard drive with a 4-yard scoring run. However, Donavan Thompson caught the ensuing kick off just in front of the goal line and dashed his way through traffic for a 99-yard TD return with 30 seconds remaining in the quarter.
Then the teams exchanged punts and scores.
After a David Kennedy punt was downed inside the Swamp Fox 10, Summerville made a defensive stand to set up a short field. The Green Wave capitalized when QB Sawyer Bridges connected with Donnell Bryan for a 15-yard TD reception.
Ashley Ridge responded with a 68-yard drive capped by Garland's second TD. The key play on the drive was a 44-yard reception by Santiago.
The Swamp Foxes caught the break they needed on the next play from scrimmage when Thompson intercepted a Summerville pass at midfield. But five plays later, Summerville linebacker Codie Soto made an interception deep in Green Wave territory and returned it to the Swamp Fox 16 before Sean White tackled him to save a touchdown with eight seconds remaining in the second quarter. Then Kennedy nailed a 33-yard field goal to give Summerville a 24-21 lead entering the half.
Kennedy, who earlier in the week had been selected to participate in the North-South All-star game, pinned the Swamp Foxes down at their 4 early in the third quarter with another punt. The Green Wave defense then scored with a safety. Defensive back Tean Becoate put a big hit on the Ashley Ridge ball carrier and then a host of Summerville players joined in to bring the runner down in the end zone.
After the free kick, Summerville needed only one play to cushion its lead even more. Bridges hit a wide-open Johnston McCurry for a 43-yard touchdown pass for a 32-21 lead with the extra-point kick.
The lead carried into the fourth quarter, but the Swamp Foxes didn't quit.
Defensive end Thomas Cooper recovered a Green Wave fumble to set the Swamp Foxes up with a first down at the Summerville 15. Two plays later, Avenel hit Santiago for a 14-yard TD catch with 8:55 remaining.
Summerville answered with a 74-yard scoring drive capped by a 37-yard run into the end zone by junior Darrell Ford.
But the Swamp Foxes shook it off and mounted a 64-yard scoring drive for the 39-33 margin. Avenel completed a 37-yard pass to Thompson on the drive, which was capped with a 35-yard scoring reception by Santiago.
The rally ended there, however, as the Summerville offense chewed up the final 2:21 of clock time with a drive deep into Ashley Ridge territory.
