Electronic lab notebook (ELN) sales are growing by 30% per year in what was estimated as a $1 billion market, according to Atrium Research figures presented at SMi's "Electronic Lab Notebooks" conference held recently in London. As such, they are becoming contributing players in companies looking for enterprise-wide lab solutions.
One of the major points to come from the conference is the assertion that one ELN can meet the needs of different disciplines. The key is to build a platform that can accept modules tailored to the needs of each scientific group. "It's reasonable to build the best front-end system for the scientist and make it compatible with a generic record system," reported Robert Scoffin, D. Phil., vp, European operations at CambridgeSoft (www.cambridgesoft.com).
Benefits of that approach, he said, include the cost savings of working with one vendor for a fully-integrated, enterprise-wide system, as opposed to integrating systems from multiple vendors. That was the pitch to Merck & Co. (www.merck.com) eight years ago, and results have shown its wisdom.
At the time "Merck didn't dictate ELNs' use but did say that if researchers chose an ELN, it it would be the CambridgeSoft platform," noted Dr. Scoffin. "We, therefore, talked to the biology, chemistry, and process scale-up labs to convince each group that this was right for them," Dr. Scoffin recalled. The result is a system tailored to the needs of multiple GlaxoSmithKline (www.gsk.com), took a different approach and mandated the use of ELNs but encouraged its scientists to contribute to the plans to ensure that the customized system would fit their needs. Within 12 months, it rolled out an ELN across its entire R&D department, incorporating more than 3,500 users and eliminating paper notebooks.
The experience gained with large, diverse clients benefits smaller companies that lack the luxury of custom-made systems, Dr. Scoffin commented. "It's easier now to show them a pallet of options used by large firms and ask, 'which is closest to the way you want to work?' Once they choose A, B, or C, deployment is faster and more cost-efficient for them, and economies of scale decrease support costs for everyone."
Companies need the flexibility to change the way they do things, thus generic ELNs are often chosen. They can adapt to the language of specific disciplines and offer flexible hierarchies, metadata setup and capture, highly granular security, and ease of use.
"Generic ELNs do have certain strengths like process control, centralizing data, and IP capture but they also have limitations," cautioned Paul Denny-Gouldson, Ph.D., product manager, IDBS (www.idbs.com). Generic systems can't easily retrieve structured biological data like absorption, metabolism, distribution, elimination, and toxicology, particularly when multidimensional data is sought.
Text searches through flat files and Excel documents used by generic ELNs can't retrieve secondary data successfully because there is no way to understand the structure of the data or how to link it in a relational way to other data.
Consequently, Dr. Denny-Gouldson continued, "it is almost impossible to find, for example, all compounds with IC50 less than 10 mM of a given receptor, or all pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics for a given compound, or related compounds on a set of subjects over the past two years stored in a set of unstructured Excel and Word docs."
It can more easily be found, however, when one uses a biologic data-management solution combined with a generic ELN in a way that supports structured and unstructured searches, allows structured capture, is easy to maintain, extendable, and can combine structured and unstructured data into one format that can be searched on both fact and contextual data, pointed out Dr. Denny-Gouldson.
"One of our customers, a large Spanish pharma company, used the E-WorkBook Suite and integrated 200 biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and preclinical development users into one enterprise-wide ELN by providing each group with specific add-in features for their scientific discipline."
The time savings with such a system is significant, he said. IDBS compressed a one-week endeavor into six minutes when it put together a study report using BioBook. That's possible because "we can template the entire workflow and analysis so that as you input raw data, the report is set up," Dr. Denny-Gouldson explained.
BioBook begins at the experiment level, letting users capture experimental details (e.g., text and images), then moves into the capture of the structured data in spreadsheets and includes instruction sheets that guide users through their experiment. Additionally, text and hyperlinks to discreet tables and charts are added, creating a workflow for the spreadsheet template.
Flexible experiment setup can handle multiple types of experiments, designs, and disciplines as well as on-the-fly changes to treatment groups, sampling time points, and configuration of the standard curve. The sample worklist setup creates multidimensional relationships between tables without the need to write code and supports pivoting and filtering so users can see only the data they need, Dr. Denny-Gouldson said.
Data can be viewed many different ways and can be exported in many file formats including native Excel. Data can also be imported directly from instruments, and a variety of calculations can be made automatically or with user intervention as a result of BioBook's math engine. Any changes to the data are captured by the audit log. Interactive graphing lets users examine data, with dynamic calculating and reformatting in real time.
One of the benefits, Dr. Denny-Gouldson noted, is that users can chart all the data in the templates without preparing discreet charts in advance for every variable or measure. The fit engine automatically reflects design changes in the charts, calculations, and reports as data is added.
Lonza (www.lonza.com) is planning to expand its ELN to a fully electronic version. Presently, it uses a hybrid system that lacks electronic signatures. This means that researchers must print and sign documents involved in experiments that may lead to patents and documents involved in qualification endeavors.
The key benefit of this upgraded system is that data is accessible throughout each of Lonza's 26 facilities, reported Matthieu Giraud, Ph.D., project leader, R&D, Lonza exclusive synthesis, peptides, and oligonucleotides. The main functions, as originally defined in 2002, included full chemical search capabilities, a fast search on experiment properties, and text search. The system was also compatible with the Oracle CIS-Web and ISIS systems used at Lonza and with the existing LIMS.
The synergies among chemistry, biochemicals, and biotech result in new product pathways, but achieving them requires one inter- and intradepartmental tool. Building this new system required a global system that provided faster information access, more efficient intradepartment collaboration, and enhanced better security.
One of the key technical considerations for Sopheon (www.sopheon.com), which developed the ELN for Lonza, was that this new ELN seamlessly integrate with the existing Web-based chemical information system.
Within this implementation, "all electronic data from the ELN within a reaction are ready to be exported to Excel," Dr. Giraud said. Other documents can also be easily added, either through imports or by scanning. Sopheon included ways of documenting new experiments with the same reactants using the new-reactions and cloning buttons.
Future plans at Lonza include improving the user interface and enhancing functionality as well as expanding its ELN to its microbio downstream-processing team and perhaps, through sharing best practices, to its mammalian production and development team.

WARREN - The annual art calendar organized by the Fairhaven Foundation recognized the 13 winners whose pieces were selected to be featured for the upcoming year.
The 2013 Fairhaven calendar includes work done by students at Fairhaven School and adults who attend the Fairhaven Workshop.
The 14th annual show was held recently at DiVieste's Banquet Center and showcased the following winners:
Linda Tiihonen, president of the Fairhaven Foundation, said the event was a way to celebrate the artistic talents of the students with the focus of the show on abilities and creativity. Artists ranged in age from younger than 3 to 80.
The calendar winners were picked from 293 entries by a panel of judges that included Ed Stark, Fairhaven superintendent; Willie Venters, IT director; Pam Simpson, owner of the Simpson Gallery; and Pat Galgozy, director of Trumbull Art Gallery.
"This year in an effort to highlight even more of our talented artists, we're including a staff picks gallery,'' Tiihonen said.
Before the official calendar judging took place, staff at the four locations - Niles Workshop, Champion Workshop, Tomaski Center and Fairhaven School - chose their 10 favorite submitted works.
Five Fairhaven employees donated original pieces of their art to be in the silent auction to raise funds for the Foundation to continue their mission of helping individuals with disabilities.
The foundation was established in 1997 by a bequest from Pauline Anders who wanted to help children and adults with developmental disabilities attending Fairhaven School and Workshop.
The foundation raises funds to provide financial assistance for activities and creative pursuits that could not be afforded without the help such as sign language classes, hearing aids, riding lessons, fees for sports, dental exams and X-rays, food boxes and summer camps.
Calendars are $10 and can be purchased by calling 330-652-9800.

Some people spend years searching for their true calling, never finding the spark of inspiration that leads to it.
It took Bernice Koff 48 years to find her mission in life. It was while taking a watercolor class just for fun that the Columbus resident discovered her brush strokes had the power to release her inner soul.
"I came home that night with tears pouring down my face," recalls Koff, seated in an easy chair in her comfortable, brick house in the city's quaint German Village neighborhood. "My husband asked me, 'What's wrong?' and I said, 'I found my life. I actually can paint. I can make art.'"
Fourteen years later, Koff's hobby has turned into a career. Her painting exhibit, "Explorations in Color," is the sole companion to Dale Chihuly's world-renowned glass art in "Fiori: A Chihuly Garden of Glass," on display at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus through February 25.
The Chihuly exhibit combines hand-blown glass sculptures from the conservatory's permanent collection with Chihuly's newest work, called "Fiori," or "flowers," in Italian. The installation combines a menagerie of squiggly, spheroid and daggerlike glass shapes that work together to resemble a colorful garden. The entire 365-square-foot Chihuly exhibit is set against the backdrop of Franklin Park's renowned floral displays.
Koff's paintings were inspired by the conservatory's first Chihuly exhibition in 2003, the year she began a series using mediums ranging from handmade paper to digital photos. On each canvas, Koff applied acrylic paint with combs, sticks and spray bottles. She also took discarded photos of paintings from her portfolio and painted over them, a style of artwork she calls Photage.
"When responding to Chihuly's art, I tap into a level of my own creativity that is deeper and more exciting than any previous painting experiences," Koff says.
Koff created the 27 pieces on exhibit -- priced from $425 to $5,000 -- between 2003 and 2006. Before this brush with fame, her career path seemed pointed toward any place but a gallery.
After growing up on Long Island, New York, she attended Queens College, majoring in English and minoring in French and education. Upon graduation, she married her high-school sweetheart, Steve Koff, and helped him through medical school at Duke University. The couple moved from city to city, following Steve's medical career. Koff worked as an editor, librarian and high-school English teacher in order to support them.
"My jobs were never my career," she says. "They were what I could do with the degree and the education I had because I was the breadwinner."
When her husband found work as a physician, Koff stayed home to raise their three children. After the kids were grown, she imagined she would find time to pursue a career writing fiction and poetry. "I always thought my love of words was going to be what I did with my life," Koff reflects.
Today, at 62, she credits moments of serendipity as the impetus for her self-discovery. When a hospital job brought her husband to Columbus in 1982, Koff suddenly found herself with time on her hands. She saw a tiny help-wanted ad in a neighborhood newspaper for a volunteer docent at the Columbus Museum of Art. She applied for the job.
"I didn't know what the word docent meant when I filled out the application," she recalls. Koff landed the position, loved it and still volunteers there after nearly 25 years. Being a docent meant Koff could take free art classes, so when a friend suggested she sign up for a continuing-education class in painting in 1992, she agreed. That's when Koff discovered her artistic talent: In one class, she was asked to paint a female figure.
"I was expecting to see some stick figure," her husband recalls. "She brought the painting home, and I said, 'Whoa, this is fantastic.'"
The budding artist was surprised, too. She decided to have her third completed painting, a floralscape, framed to give as a gift. The proprietor of the frame shop where she had the work done asked her a surprising question: "Where do you show your art?"
Koff was stunned. "Show my art?"
"Yeah," the man replied. "Would you like to have a show in my gallery?"
Koff eagerly agreed and sold two pieces. To perfect her technique, she took classes at the Columbus College of Art & Design and joined the Central Ohio Watercolor Society.
Sometimes, she admits, accidents taught her more than the instructors did. Once during a watercolor class, a friend was helping Koff pack up her supplies. While lifting Koff's painting, her pal helplessly watched horrified as a stream of paint dripped down the front of the canvas.
Koff was delighted.
"Oh, I like that!" she exclaimed. "I'm a dripper."
It was then she decided that being less cautious with her strokes could enhance her style.
"The first thing I do when I have a brand-new shiny canvas is throw paint on it," Koff says. "I don't even care if I step on it. It has to stop being precious. It's not a work of art until I make it one."
Her road to success, Koff admits, wasn't smooth. She had many bad beginnings, which she'd rip apart in frustration. Her studio, located above a carriage house in the family's back yard, is filled with paintings in various stages of completion.
One day, Koff says, she picked up pieces of her torn paintings and, on a whim, decided to add the scraps to new work. Her signature style was born.
Koff's interest in painting peaked in 2003 when she visited the first Chihuly exhibit at the conservatory. "I came home to my studio and started pouring paint like a mad woman. I was so excited and energized."
To prepare for "Explorations in Color," Koff visited the conservatory to study Chihuly's work and selected handmade papers from stores in New York and Santa Monica, California.
She kept a mental palette of Chihuly's vibrant colors and chose her paint based on those recollections. Koi fish and spheres formed from her splatters of paint resemble Chihuly's "Niijima Floats."
Interest in Koff's work has generated other exhibits. A collection of her work is currently on display at Caterina Ltd., a shop in German Village that carries art, gifts and housewares.
"[She is] a phenomenal, multi-faceted artist," says Catherine Adams, owner of Caterina Ltd. "The more you know about these paintings, the deeper you appreciate them. She has a wonder-ful gift."

Feed costs range from $8 to $10 per hundredweight.
Net farm incomes are rising in the West, according to reports assembled by Frazer, LLP. However, profits must continue for the foreseeable future in order to recover from the substantial losses that took place during 2008 and 2009.
The accounting firm conducts business in seven states. Enough data exists that they can break California into three regions. Two of those three regions reported both the low and high returns per hundredweight (cwt). Southern California posted $1.32 per cwt. net income, while Kern County earned $4.60 per cwt., with the San Joaquin Valley coming in with $2.38. The data reported represents the first six months of 2011.
Arizona led the other Western states at $3.10 per cwt., while the Texas Panhandle netted $2.99. Both New Mexico and the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon and Washington had profits of $2.97. Idaho came in at $2.44.
Feed costs ranged from a low of $8.41 in Kern County to $10.43 in Southern California. Feed was the main reason for the wide range of farm profits. Labor ranged from $1.26 to $1.81 per cwt., while herd replacement expenses ranged from 98 cents to $1.51. Others costs ranged from $3.59 to $4.79.
As expected, net income per cow was highest in Kern County at $490 and smallest in Southern California at $134.

When bullet-riddled and bloodied bodies piled up on the streets of North Charleston several years back, Police Chief Jon Zumalt took an unusual step for a top cop looking to keep his job: he admitted he needed help finding a way to end the violence.
By the numbers
Crime 2002 2011 2012Murder 17 5 13Rape 105 35 55Robbery 440 184 216Aggravated assault 801 429 436Total violent crimes 1,363 653 720
Zumalt brought in a consultant, sent his commanders around the country to learn from others, adopted a host of innovative tactics and came up with some new ideas of his own. Then, police zeroed in on problem neighborhoods, flooded them with officers and tried to build community trust while simultaneously clamping down with increased traffic stops and patrols.
Zumalt's approach garnered praise and scorn, with critics howling over heavy-handed tactics that smacked of racial profiling to some. But it also did something else: it helped cut North Charleston's violent crime in half compared with what it was a decade before, according to police statistics.
So as Zumalt prepares to turn in his badge, pack his bags and retire at the end of this month, he said he is leaving South Carolina's third-largest city with a deep sense of accomplishment after 11 years on the job.
"In the end, what it comes down to for a police chief is 'Is the town safer than when you arrived?' " he said. "The answer here is clearly a 'yes.' "
While his efforts have at times sparked controversy, Zumalt said, he believes a majority of residents are on the police department's side. He pointed to a survey conducted last year by Washington, D.C.-based Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Research that found 81 percent of 600 residents surveyed were satisfied with the North Charleston Police Department.
That doesn't surprise such people as the Rev. Augustus D. Robinson Jr., pastor of Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church.
"He's a visionary, and he's been able to implement his visions, which No. 1 is to be a servant to the community and to reduce the crime rate," said Robinson, who chairs a community panel that works with police.
Still, rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Zumalt, 57, was pushed out the door after a falling-out with North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, possibly over promotions and other changes the mayor demanded and the chief resisted. Both men deny that is the case.
Zumalt said he wants to return to his native Kansas, be around family and help care for his ailing mother, who has cancer. He said he told Summey last year that he wouldn't be staying too late into the mayor's latest term at City Hall, and they both felt now would be a good time to make the transition.
Summey concurred, and he described Zumalt as an excellent chief who "brought a sense of professionalism and accountability to the department."
"Eleven years is a long time for a police chief to stay anywhere, honestly," Summey said. "We just wish him well."
Zumalt, in fact, is the longest-serving chief in North Charleston's 40-year history (his predecessor, Chad Caldwell had the second-longest tenure, with seven years on the job).
A tough road
Zumalt arrived in North Charleston in December 2001, a former junior high school teacher who had followed his wife into law enforcement and spent 20 years rising through the ranks of the Wichita (Kan.) Police Department.
The plain-spoken Midwesterner suddenly found himself in a sprawling and diverse Southern city, with everything from bustling retail corridors to tidy new subdivisions and pockets of entrenched poverty rife with gun violence, drug sales and scores of ex-cons.
He worked to mend fences in the community and overcome the department's image problems born in part from controversial, officer-involved shootings. He also worked to boost pay and morale, weed out problem officers and give the rank-and-file more of a voice in setting goals for the department, which won national accreditation in 2007.
Early on, he struggled after officers in 2003 shot Asberry Wylder, a black shoplifting suspect, in the middle of Rivers Avenue, stoking racial tensions. Zumalt suggested that witnesses who disagreed with the police version of events were either confused or lying.
He still counts that among his chief regrets. "That wasn't smart," he said. "Obviously, their accounts weren't accurate, but that damaged me fairly early on with some members of the community, and it took me a long time to recover from that."
Soaring violence
Zumalt's biggest challenge came when crime soared in the mid-2000s, reaching a high- water mark when the city racked up 55 killings between the start of 2006 and the end of 2007. That led to the unwanted distinction of North Charleston being named among the top 10 most dangerous cities in the country.
Chuck Wexler, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Police Executive Research Forum, still recalls his first visit to Zumalt's office to discuss helping the city with its crime issues. On the other side of the door stood a display with photos of every person who had been murdered that year.
"He closed the door and he pointed to those pictures and said 'We have to do better than this. This is a tragedy,' " Wexler recalled.
Wexler came on board and soon Zumalt and his commanders plugged into a vast network of police innovators across the country. They traveled to other cities to see strategies that worked and brought in folks like Charlie Beck, now chief of police in Los Angeles, to give talks and tips. They added manpower, improved response times, beefed up crime analysis and embedded officers in troubled neighborhoods to build stronger relations with the residents they serve.
The violent crime rate dropped dramatically, falling 52 percent between 2002 and 2011, with a low of five homicides recorded in 2011, according to police numbers.
"It wasn't any one thing that did it. It was all of these things collectively that led to the reduction in violence," he said. "And when you think about how violent this city was historically, to affect that kind of change is pretty phenomenal."
The number of killings in the city crept back up to 13 last year, mirroring a regional trend, but Zumalt said he is optimistic that North Charleston's gains in reducing violence will continue with the programs now in place.
Zumalt, once the man seeking advice, has now become a resource for leaders of other cities to turn to for tips on quelling their own crime issues, Wexler said. "His legacy will be that he came in and turned a difficult situation around," he said. "It's a great success story, there's no question about it."
Clamping down
His critics, however, still question the means Zumalt used to get to this point, particularly his flood-the-zones approach in marginal neighborhoods that led to the number of traffic stops citywide increasing by about 3,000, to nearly 64,000 in 2011.
NAACP leaders, in particular, have blasted the department for what they consider to be blatant racial profiling, a charge Zumalt denies. Ed Bryant, president of the NAACP's North Charleston branch, even zinged the chief during the group's annual Freedom Fund Banquet, warning national NAACP president Benjamin Jealous and other guests that they best be careful driving home, lest they be pulled over and ticketed as well.
Zumalt makes no apologies for such tactics, saying they were necessary to curb crime. He also noted that officers are required to politely explain to motorists why they pulled them over under the department's "Sell the stop" program.
"We have to be in those neighborhoods," Zumalt said. "We don't have a choice."
Summey said Zumalt's successor, former chaplain and chief sheriff's deputy Eddie Driggers, probably will introduce some new ideas and concepts of his own. But the traffic stops likely will continue in higher-crime neighborhoods.
"We are going to do whatever it takes to keep the peace," he said. "We have to do everything in our power to protect the good and honest people in our community."
Charleston NAACP president Dot Scott tangled with Zumalt on numerous occasions over the traffic stops and other issues, but she said she has mixed feelings about the chief's departure.
While Zumalt did not have an open-door policy to those who challenged his policies, Scott said, she appreciated his efforts at bringing transparency to the department. For example, she said, he was quick to tell the public and take action after determining former Sgt. Eddie Bullard shot himself in July and concocted a story about being attacked by a black man.
Scott said she had the sense that Zumalt at times tried to do the right thing, but got interference from above.
"He may have been the silver lining in the whole effort to change that department," she said.
Looking ahead
If that's the case, Zumalt isn't saying. In fact, he is quick to credit Summey, City Council and his officers for the encouragement and support they've given him over the years to bring about change and improve the department.
He's spent his last few weeks working with Driggers and helping him prepare to take the helm of the department, which has 325 sworn officers. He'll probably hang around town for a bit after his Friday retirement party to sell his house, and then it's off to Kansas.
Zumalt said he needs time to decompress and reassess before deciding on the next chapter in his life, but he's not ruling out a return to law enforcement at some point.
"I still feel I can contribute," he said. "I just don't feel ready to retire. Financially I can, but mentally, I'm just not ready."

LISBON - Columbiana County commissioners are taking $1 million from what is expected to be a $2 million budget surplus and setting it aside to spend for special projects and unanticipated emergencies, but please do not call it a "rainy day" fund.
Commissioners voted this week to create a reserve balance/escrow account within the general fund and then transfer $1 million into the account.
"What we're looking for is being able to put some money back, for lack of a better word, in a rainy day fund," said Commissioner Chairman Mike Halleck.
He said some county officials are reluctant to refer to the fund as such, believing the public construes it as a slush fund to use for any purpose. Halleck promised this money will not be used for operating expenses.
"It will give us some leeway should we need access to the money for an emergency or a capital improvement project," he said.
Commissioners did the same thing in the 1990s with $600,000 left over from the year-end balance, but the money was eventually used for operations when voters failed to renew the county sales tax and money became tight. He does not expect that to happen this time.
In recent years, commissioners have set aside some of their budget surplus instead of adding it to the next year's budget appropriations and then tapped into it to supplement daily operations on an as-needed basis.
Halleck said that will not be the case with this money as long as he is commissioner.
The county general fund was on pace to end 2012 with a $2 million-plus budget surplus, thanks to commissioners leasing county property for shale gas drilling, an increase in sales tax collections, and first-ever tax payments from Ohio's first casinos.
Halleck said this good fortune and their tight rein on spending has placed commissioners in the unaccustomed financial position of being able to undertake a major project should the need arise.
The commissioners next meeting is 9 a.m. Jan. 9.

It's no small mystery that AMD these days simply seems incapable of outcompeting Intel. Intel argues that this is due to its superior products. AMD, however, has long maintained that Intel was deploying anticompetitive processes, which it says are digging it into a hole from which it cannot escape. However, despite a passionate ad campaign and lengthy discussions with antitrust officials in the U.S., AMD has seemingly had a tough time selling its idea that Intel was cheating in the microprocessor war.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which supervises free trade in the U.S., announced that it was launching a formal antitrust investigation against Intel. The stakes are high for both Intel and AMD; the total market for microprocessors racked up $225 billion in sales last year.
Both Intel and AMD realize what's at stake and have spent tens of millions in legal expenses and on public relations campaigns. AMD had previous success in Europe, Korea, and Japan -- all of which have investigated Intel or threatened it with possible fines. However, the biggest victory -- a U.S. antitrust investigation -- seemed out of reach until this week.
State authorities and federal appointees from the Bush administration have been taking a more lenient approach to antitrust that their European counterparts. However, the major decision Friday marked a sharp new shift in policy.
The new investigation originated with the new blood -- William E. Kovacic, the new chairman of the trade commission. With the backing of his fellow commissioners, he reversed the decision of Deborah P. Majoras, the previous chair, who had been blocking the investigation for months to the frustration of those on Capitol Hill. Majoras was a more lenient appointee, and helped work out the antitrust settlement in 2001 with Microsoft.
It will take months before formal charges against Intel might be made, so the upcoming administration's stance will greatly factor into the case. AMD is relying on the federal case as only one state -- New York, at the behest of attorney general Andrew M. Cuomo -- has agreed to investigate Intel on a state level. California attorney general Jerry Brown denied AMD's pleas, derisively commenting that he was "not barking at every truck that comes down the street."
D. Bruce Sewell, Intel's senior vice president and general counsel, says that the U.S. antitrust laws are different than European ones, and it will not be charged. Intel is planning on racking up its Capitol Hill efforts, though, likely in the form of lobbyist dollars.
The first signs of the upcoming bad news for Intel appeared when chip manufacturers began to get subpoenaed by the FTC. The FTC is working with Europe and other foreign governments to obtain evidence to use against Intel in a possible case. Mr. Sewell said that he was working amiably with the FTC on a less formal review since 2006 and that Intel would remain cooperative.
AMD's top executives expressed their pleasure over the Commission's decision. Tom McCoy, executive vice president for legal affairs at AMD, stated, "Intel must now answer to the Federal Trade Commission, which is the appropriate way to determine the impact of Intel practices on U.S. consumers and technology businesses. In every country around the world where Intel's business practices have been investigated, including the decision by South Korea this week, antitrust regulators have taken action."
The largest U.S. antitrust investigation since the Microsoft one of the 90s came the same week as more good news for AMD; Korean officials slammed Intel with a $25 million fine for violating its fair trade laws. The Korean officials discovered that Intel illegally paid Samsung Electronics and the Trigem Company $37 million in payments between 2002 and 2005 to not buy AMD processors. The European Union's European Commission (EC), which charged Intel with "the aim of excluding its main rival from the market" is expected to expand its charges this year.
Intel currently owns somewhere between 80 to 90 percent of the worldwide microprocessor market. Many U.S. citizens do not realize that U.S. laws do allow monopolies, unlike elsewhere, but forbid companies with a monopoly from using its dominance to restrict competition.
With mounting evidence worldwide, Intel faces a tough case before the FTC. However, it will likely do what it takes, or perhaps more aptly write the lobbyist checks needed to prevent it from becoming the next Microsoft. Meanwhile, AMD will also likely step up its efforts in hopes that it can stop its downhill slide by a court victory over Intel.
quote: Because I have respect for a company that puts its engineers over its marketers.
quote: VIA is not worth remembering?
quote: As much as I am pro free market, Intel cannot be allowed to destroy the competition. It's just bad for consumers.I don't want Intel's only competition to be Moore's Law.
quote: Now the true difference that we can start to debate is whether or not Intel actually colluded with OEM's to choose their products vs. AMD's
quote: Why is it inherently bad for suppliers to make exclusivity payouts with producers?
quote: The Korean officials discovered that Intel illegally paid Samsung Electronics and the Trigem Company $37 million in payments between 2002 and 2005 to not buy AMD processors.
quote: Suppose Intel's chips were half the performance of AMD and they paid Dell the same amount to be exclusive, do you think Dell would have benefited?
quote: Monopolies always fix prices. And they are fixed according to their profit needs, not the consumer's expectations.
quote: And without competitors, almost nothing motivates a company to work on really better products (better <> new) as that implies a higher cost than simply coming up with "simple" product refreshes.
quote: And if they do it, it creates so large a disparity between cost and price that someone else will come in and undercut them. Thus the price fixing is UNSUSTAINABLE without extracurricular government help.
quote: You know that people are talking about monopolies here, there is no one else???? That's the point.
quote: If you're talking about new companies coming into the market, you think that the company which has a monopoly to defend will give the newcomer an easy ride?
quote: This whole article is in direct conflict with your statement. You have Intel which during 2001 - 2005 had a uncompetitive product bordering horrible. There wasn't government intervention at all and the result is that even though Intel had an inferior product, it had absolutely no effect on them. Why?
quote: Um, no. AMD bascially survived those years because their products WERE better,
quote: Also there several times within this time period were Intel could not supply enough processors to market.
quote: Actually you should pick your poison and have a better understanding what this suit is about before you list facts that aren't.
quote: Most "joe smoes buying a Dell or Gateway" didn't know what Intel was either, just that the sales guy on the floor says Intel > AMD because that is what he has been instructed to do.
quote: In effect it's like you paying the ref at the basketball game so your team wins. On one side, you could argue that you were just "competing" differently to win the game, but on the other hand, the other team never even stood a chance, and thus the fans (the customers) lost the chance to see a good game.
quote: What's absolutely hilarious about this analogy is how wrong it is, and how I keep getting rated down trying to explain to people the difference. The referee has powers that a player doesn't. The government has powers that the private industry doesn't. He can eject players, he can deny points, he can give points, and he can also be bribed. The referee is the government, but Intel never colluded with government. They made a legitimate contract with several OEMs, who took a calculated risk to gain more from a payout than prospective losses to other OEMs offering purportedly good AMD chips. In no way could Intel prevent customers from choosing AMD, only under certain brands. It would literally take an infinite amount of capital to not only buy out existing OEMs, but suppress prospective startups.
quote: Basically, AMD has been trying to play catch-up to Intel for a few decades now, and everything they have attempted - having better products, doing large marketing campaigns, etc., have not worked.
quote: Once any company becomes a monopoly, it effectively lives outside of economic forces.
quote: So follow me here, if a company is a monopoly and can control prices, HOW CAN A FREE MARKET APPROACH PROTECT A COMPETITOR WITH A BETTER PRODUCT??? The answer is it can't. We see it all around us... higher and higher gas prices, which from our last conversation, I'm still waiting for your free market theory to kick in and bring down the prices of energy since we have enough alternatives to fossil fuels in existence that something should be kicking in right about now dont'cha think?
quote: A monopoly CAN'T control prices. You CANNOT be forced into a buying a product unless government dictates such with your money (subsidy).
quote: A monopoly CAN'T control prices.
quote: an exclusive privilege to carry on a business, traffic, or service, granted by a government.
quote: AMD really needs to put out a better product if they want to compete again.
quote: If this is what happened we learn it does little.
quote: also just meant to point out that nothing can save AMD if they don't put out a decent product.
quote: I also just meant to point out that nothing can save AMD if they don't put out a decent product.
quote: Intel will pay more in legal fees than they'll pay directly to AMD.
quote: The FCT will find that consumers are not being hurt by Intel's position and will determine no laws are being broken.
quote: Without an AMD or equivalent the PC would be half the speed and twice the price.
quote: the company finally had some good news to be happy about.
quote: FTC... supervises free trade
quote: Deborah P. Majoras, the previous chair
quote: Their counterpart in other countries claim that there's a problem - it kinda looks bad if they don't at least make a public announcement of their investigation.
quote: the total market for microprocessors racked up $225 billion in sales last year
quote: Seems to me, all those law suits or investigations are AMD's baby crying
quote: all my previous Intel products had a faily good price/performance even in P4 era, Northwood was the top performer at that time
quote: And this is where your argument falls apart.Improvements in manufacturing technology and processes of the CPU have lead to Intel's better pricing. Not competition.
quote: I truly believe if the position of Intel and AMD was reversed, if AMD was the big guy, I would have been "hurt" much more. So far, Intel's treated me good, well, for most of the time (Pentium 66 and P4E were bad).

A North Tonawanda man who was already free on bail for a drug-related charge was arrested Thursday and charged with selling heroin, following a raid on his Zimmerman Street apartment.
Miguel E. Febres, 33, was arraigned in North Tonawanda City Court on charges of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to Mark W. Driess, chief of the Niagara County Drug Task Force.
Driess said the raid was conducted by members of the county drug task force, following a month-long investigation by Sheriff's Investigators Daniel Douglas and Stephen Gaydos. Driess said Febres was found with 16 packets of heroin, packaging material, a scale, $875 in cash and a loaded .22 caliber handgun. Following his arraignment, Febres was held at the Niagara County Jail in Lockport in lieu of $25,000 cash bond or $50,000 property bond.
Driess said the prosecutors are seeking to revoke Febres' bail from an evidence-tampering charge in April, when he and two others allegedly hauled the body of David C. Brandl of Lockport more than a mile from Febres' apartment to Mayor's Park and left it to be discovered by a National Grid crew the next day. Brandl, 22, had died from a combination of heroin and cocaine on the night of April 26-27.

I would use it to access every National database for patents and destroy every single one, thus making the manufactures (yes especially you Apple) compete on evolving and development, rather than court room drama.

Most powerful eh? Well I'd ditch my PC because all I'd need is a dock to boot up a full OS and do some power using! Heck just make docks with a screen, mouse and keyboard because everywhere I'd go I'd just have my 500TB of storage right on me! High end gaming on a PC? Heck no! I get that on my supercomputing pocket friend! Work, school, home, library, car...everywhere I go I've got the most powerful device I'll ever need with me! Just put a dock there for me to hook it up. Need to whip out a DSLR to get the job done? Not with my 1000 MP camera on my phone!
Needless to say, we've only scratched the surface of what is possible with smartphones. More features are added, new sensors are buried inside, the hardware and software gets better and better. I think that someday our phones will power everything. One device to rule them all...so to speak.

Wow these answers are boring. We're allowed to fantasize the ultimate superphone so let's actually do it...
1. 600TB iCloud storage with synchronization of EVERYTHING seamlessly across ALL devices.
2. 9G which is 10TB/s transfer speed , using the holographic properties of the earth's magnetic field as a transmission medium, so there is reception everywhere, and requires no towers and thus no carriers.
3. Ability to instantly project video, via 802.11z, into any other device around you, so you can always move up in screen size.
4. Ability to somehow fold or stretch from a small pocket size into a nice big screen size.
5. Ability to project a hologram above itself, as its display. And/or to project onto walls.
6. Kickstand and then a laser light keyboard that's full size is projected onto the horizontal surface under it, so you can instantly type for real.
7. Siri's great granddaughter, who you can basically tell anything and actually have her understand and do it, without typing.
8. OS Simulators and/or OS partitions allow it to run any kind of software from any platform.
9. Biometric security to where "it just knows it's you", to give better security for things like NFC payments to where it's completely automatic with no PIN, no slide-to-unlock, and so on.

haha...!! dont hope for even the half of the half of the half of the half of the specs mentioned above from APPLE!!!!!
34. tssynergy (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 Sep 2012)
..... it would open my garage doors, control my lights, alarms & thermostat. It would also serve as a universal remote for my home theater system and come with a docking station for home use. Once I set the cell phone in the docking station it would then switch to "home use" mode and allow me to use several hand sets that are tied to the docking station. This way whatever room I'm in, I'd have access to calls, text and maybe a couple of other basic features without having to carry the cell phone around the house. So my dream devise would actually be a system (i.e. cell phone with maxed out specs + base unit + base unit hand sets).
35. ali.geek714 (Posts: 3; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
what can be done with the fastest phone??????

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Humbling doesn't do it justice. Simply losing to Indiana for the first time ever would have been humbling.
What happened to Penn State on Saturday was, in many ways, humiliating.
Getting blown out, 44-24, in front of a stadium that was about 40 percent full, by a program that hopes to go 6-6 every now and then just so it can be bowl eligible and by a team that already had lost to Navy and badly to Missouri, it was as uninspiring of a performance as the Nittany Lions possibly could have turned in.
"Didn't play well, didn't coach well," PSU coach Bill O'Brien said. "And we've got a long way to go."
A lot longer than just about anyone could have expected prior to Saturday's beatdown.
There was no shame in the Lions losing 34-31 to a good Central Florida team that gave No. 13 South Carolina a tough battle. But getting hammered by Indiana is a different story.
Penn State rushed for a measly 70 yards against a team that had been allowing 248 per game, and that gave up 467 on the ground to Navy.
The Lions' offense threw the ball a school-record 55 times and still wasn't a major threat all day.
The defense failed time and again to come up with stops after the offense had scored to keep the game close.
The special teams, a huge problem last year but much improved this season, even had a lousy afternoon.
"This was a team loss," guard John Urschel said.
There was plenty of blame to go around, but the most shocking aspect was the Lions' inability to move the ball on the ground. That seemed like a given with Indiana's porous defense, but the Hoosiers controlled the line of scrimmage and limited PSU to 1.8 yards per carry.
The offensive line was expected to be a strength for the Lions this season, but that has not been the case.
"If we would have played up to our own expectations, I think we would have been 5-0," guard Miles Dieffenbach said. "We expect to do great and be great up front, and anything short of that isn't OK."
O'Brien is considered an offensive guru, but what Penn State put on display Saturday lacked any semblance of creativity. The runs were basic handoffs up the gut, and the passing game was great when the ball was going to Allen Robinson but poor when it went anywhere else.
"We've got to scheme up some better runs," O'Brien admitted. "We've got to be more diverse in the running game."
Nothing Indiana did on offense should have surprised Penn State's defense, but the Hoosiers were just flat out better executing their fast tempo. They rolled up 486 yards of offense, 336 through the air - which was to be expected - but also 150 on the ground.
Beating Indiana (3-2, 1-0 Big Ten) isn't all that difficult if you can make the Hoosiers one-dimensional, but if they run on you the way they ran on Penn State (3-2, 0-1), that's a bad sign.
"It definitely hurts," linebacker Mike Hull said of the loss. "We expected to come out here and win, but they have a good team and they made plays."
The Lions made enough plays to hang around for nearly three full quarters, and they nearly tied the game at 21 when Christian Hackenberg tried to hit Robinson in the back right of the end zone. Robinson came down barely out of bounds, and he remained on the ground after banging his back hard on the surface.
That was on second-and-6 from the 7, and Hackenberg was sacked on the next play. Sam Ficken kicked a 30-yard field goal, and it was still a game at 21-17 with 2:04 left in the third.
The game was essentially over, however, just a few minutes later.
Everything unraveled on Penn State in a hurry, with the Hoosiers scoring three touchdowns in the next 6 minutes and 34 seconds of game action.
Indiana answered PSU's field goal by marching right down the field for a TD with 14:10 remaining. The Lions then shot themselves in the foot with two false start penalties on a drive that ended with Hackenberg's fourth-and-2 pass getting tipped.
The Hoosiers took possession and got a 36-yard TD pass from Nate Sudfeld to Kofi Hughes two plays later to make it 35-17.
"I felt like we were in trouble there," O'Brien said.
Trouble turned into impossible a few seconds later when Geno Lewis fumbled on the ensuing kickoff. Indiana recovered at the 9, and backup quarterback Tre Roberson scored with 10:30 to go for a 42-17 cushion. The Hoosiers added a safety a few minutes later when they got to Hackenberg in the end zone.
"This is a tough day," O'Brien said. "This is a tough day to come here and lose."
It had to be even tougher getting blown out.
"They outplayed us, simple as that," Urschel said.

BAYFIELD � Breetta Moe is used to going from sport to sport in high school.
That won�t change next year in college.
Moe signed her national letter of intent to play both volleyball and basketball at Dawson Community College in Montana.
�When the volleyball coach (at Dawson) starting talking to me, I figured it would be all volleyball in college ... that I would focus on volleyball,� said Moe, the setter for the Wolverines.
�But, I didn�t want basketball to be over,� the Bayfield High School senior and point guard on the basketball team said.
It won�t be.
John Marble, the volleyball coach at Dawson Community College, watched Moe play in the Colorado state basketball tournament. Immediately, he talked to Dawson�s women�s basketball coach.
�When they told me I could play both, I was really excited because I love both sports,� Moe said at her signing ceremony at the BHS auditorium.
�After she played so well in the state basketball tournament, they had no doubt about recruiting her,� said Kelley Rifilato, the BHS head volleyball coach.
�I�m so glad she gets to play (both sports),� said Rifilato, who formerly coached club volleyball in Idaho with Marble.
�He (Marble) is a very knowledgeable guy. He knows volleyball. He was trained by Tom Hilbert; you don�t need to say much more,� Rifilato said with a reference to the highly respected coach at Colorado State University.
�And he (Marble) has had multiple players that he�s shared with the basketball program. They�ve shared a bunch of athletes because it is a smaller school,� she said of the community college in Glendive, Mont.
�One of her biggest selling points is ... she has not let her lack of size bother her at all,� Rifilato said.
The diminutive setter/point guard helped the Wolverines to the state�s elite eight in volleyball and basketball this year.
She�s played in the state volleyball tournament all four years in high school.
In fact, Moe did not lose a single Intermountain League volleyball match during her high school career.
The Wolverines finished third at state volleyball last fall.
�Her serving ability is huge. Breetta fit what they were looking for,� Rifilato said.
Ronnie Posey, Moe�s high school basketball coach, said the Dawson Buccaneers are getting a cerebral basketball player with a passion for the game.
�Her mental preparation and her understanding of the game will make her competitive (in college),� Posey said.
�She�ll be a coach on the floor if they let her.�
He said Moe�s unflappable nature will help, too. That came through under the bright lights at Moby Arena at Colorado State University during the state basketball tournament, he said.
�She started quicker and with more confidence than any player in the state tournament,� coach Posey said.
�I am genuinely happy for her,� said Posey, who directed the Wolverines to a school-record 20 wins this season.
�My coaches here have prepared my for (college sports),� said Moe, daughter of Amy and Verne Moe.
The ability to adjust to new teammates will be critical next year, she said.
�Learning to play with different people ... connecting with teammates will be (important) because I�ve played with these girls so long,� Moe said.
�I know there�s a lot I can work on,� said Moe, who will be close to a number of relatives in nearby Wyoming.
�She�s going to be close to family, which she wanted. She gets along with everyone,� Rifilato said. �I think she�ll do great things at Dawson.�

New moms make huge sacrifices. Just ask Jessica Simpson.
"Responsibility has drastically changed my life!" she wrote on Twitter. "Saturday night drink of choice.... WATER!"
Punctuated with a happy face, the singer-turned-fashion mogul's Tweet implies she's not missing any other beverages, though that wasn't always the case.
"I'm a free-spirited girl, but giving up my scotch? My Macallan 18? That was hard for me!" Simpson, who turned 32 last month, told ELLE of getting pregnant with her first child, daughter Maxwell Drew.
Since giving birth May 1, Simpson has been working very hard at losing her baby weight, joining Weight Watchers and using a pedometer.
Drinking water instead of scotch certainly can't hurt either!
