Operation Lifesaver, a nonprofit organization for rail safety education, has published a press release reporting that while rail crossing collision numbers are down slightly, deaths and injuries from collisions and pedestrian incidents have increased.
The organization's president, Helen M. Sramek, said in the release that "the increase in deaths and injuries from crossing collisions and pedestrian-train trespass incidents is a very troubling trend."
The press release went on to say that
. . . since 1997, more people have been killed while trespassing on tracks than from vehicle-train collisions at railroad crossings, according to FRA statistics.
"Based on news accounts of incidents, texting, headphones and other distractions appear to be part of the problem," she continued. "Increasing public awareness of the need for caution near train tracks is important. Our recent public service advertising campaigns caution pedestrians to eliminate distractions around train tracks: stay focused, stay alive," Sramek concluded.
The study compared the first four months of 2012 with the first four months of 2011, so the accidents that ended the life of Mitchell Maserang in Wentzville and , were not counted in those numbers.
Wentzville Responds
On Sundays, when the holds its flea market, available parking spaces fill up and people sometimes park on the north side of the tracks. The nearest legal crossing is three blocks to the east, on Linn Avenue.
Chief Lisa Harrison spoke to Patch about how the department is working to inform and educate the public about the dangers of crossing the tracks illegally.
"That's the only time we have the problem," Harrison said. "A lot of people are walking across those tracks, and it's dangerous—and illegal."
The department issued two citations on Sunday, July 15.
Harrison said that the goal was to inform and notify the public. "We were giving verbal warnings. We did end up issuing citations to a couple of people that were less than receptive. We're not going to get into shouting matches. The signs were clearly there that said No Trespassing."
"We are going to try to get out there as often as we can," Harrison said.

ACCA Roundtable on Shared Services and Outsourcing
On 5 October 2012 ACCA organised the roundtable "Finance transformation: shared services and outsourcing" that took place in Kyiv, Ukraine. More than 50 representatives of leading Ukrainian companies participated in the event.
ACCA has recently released its first report on finance transformation and the use of shared services and outsourcing, Finance transformation: expert insights on shared services and outsourcing. The report is a first in a series of reports that supports ACCA's broader programme on finance transformation through shared services and outsourcing. The roundtable event provided a platform for discussion and debate on the key issues identified in the report and provided leading businesses within the sector an opportunity to share their experiences on some of the issues raised.
Nataliya Vovchuk, Head of ACCA Ukraine, Baltic and Caucasus States, opened the roundtable with a welcome speech on global outsourcing and shared services. She presented the key findings from ACCA research, with the main message that there is no turning back from these services.
Nadiya Konovalenko, Director of Accounting, Compliance & Reporting at Ernst & Young Ukraine, shared her experience of setting up outsourcing business within Big Four companies. Her company provides all sorts of financial and accounting outsourcing, however these services are not company's main business in Ukraine. Most of outsourcing clients come from global Ernst & Young contracts, where a client also has business in Ukraine.
Magdalena Patrzyk, Senior Manager of Tax and Legal Services at PricewaterhouseCoopers Ukraine, noted that her team uses tax compliance approach for outsourcing and shared service. Madgalena also confirmed that these are not the main services for her company in Ukraine, and most of such clients come from global agreements.
Olena Levshun, Partner and Practice Leader of Accounting outsourcing and financial management at EBS, noted that her company works with outsourcing since 2002 in Ukraine. According to Olena, the key country-specific characteristic of outsourcing business in Ukraine is high bureaucracy that requires continuous authorisation from client and therefore – continuous involvement of both parties.
Pavlo Boyko, Managing Partner of TMF Ukraine, remarked that there are over 40 people in his company doing purely outsourcing business in Ukraine. He noted that lower cost, taken narrowly as lower salary cost, is not the starting point of transformation, but rather its endpoint, realized in a wider perspective. Their clients often get unexpected benefits of better processes administration and changed attitude toward taxes.
Daniil Shash, General Director Ukraine of Intercomp Global Services, said that his company operates in Ukraine for 5 years now, starting with payroll and now doing different kinds of outsourcing. He also concluded that the paper's finding of cost being the starting point of transformation does not apply to Ukraine. While the cost of an outsourced specialist is generally at the same level or even higher than the cost of an in-house accountant, companies still use outsourcing for such benefits as process improvement, information consolidation and better IT infrastructure.
Experts named the largest hindrances for financial transformation to be client's slackness for cooperation, procurement of low fees that drive lower scope of outsourcing, shadow organisations that mask their activities, growth in client's operations that requires re-negotiation of contractual provisions, problems with communication and lack of understanding of who is the decision maker within the client company.
Client's preparation for transformation plays an important role. The retained finance team should be communicated of its future, in order to facilitate cooperation and information sharing. It is important to see the continuity of processes, to foresee future changes from clients. When preparing a foreign client, it is important to explain Ukrainian realities, laws and business practices, as well as to educate on local accounting and tax risks. Client's standardised processes and high corporate culture are helpful for outsourcing provider.
Experts agreed that provider's personnel should be prepared to have necessary communication and interpersonal skills, on top of deep accounting and finance knowledge. This can be achieved by thorough selection of outsourcing team, carrying out debates to teach efficient expression of thought and staff involvement in high-level negotiations to teach communication with clients.
Finally experts underlined that Ukrainian accountancy function should not be fully transferred to overseas outsourcing and shared services, due to local tax complication and frequent legislative changes. There always has to be local specialist who would monitor legislative changes and update the provider on necessary amendments to existing model if necessary.

Posted at: 07/28/2013 8:06 PM
| Updated at: 07/28/2013 11:34 PM
By: Jeffery Gordon, KOB.com
A man has been arrested in connection to a shooting that happen on Sunday afternoon.
The shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. on Sunday off Interstate 40 near Rio Puerco.
Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies arrested the shooter, Ivan Benaveidez, at the Pit Stop gas station nearby.
Benaveidez is charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, child abuse and shooting from a motor vehicle.
The victims are a man in his 50's and an 11-year-old girl.
Deputies say the victims and the suspect are related.
They say the shooting stemmed from a disagreement over land and property.
Both victims were shot in the head; however they both have grazing wounds and are expected to be ok.
The investigation is ongoing.

The Gold Digger
Fund Manager William Martin on the outlook for gold investing, and why he's so bullish on Barrick.
In times of uncertainty, people search for the safe and familiar. When it comes to economic uncertainty, investors often hedge their bets by flocking to one of the oldest symbols of value—gold. William Martin has managed the $1.2 billion American Century Global Gold fund since 1992. The fund is up 16 percent so far this year, and its average annual return, taking into account the past three years, is 24.9 percent. Martin says that if you want to understand the future of gold, you have to understand what's going on with the dollar.
What is unique about the situation for gold in the current market environment?
I've never seen the table set for gold so fully. Usually there's a more even distribution of potential outcomes [for the price of gold]—it's going to rally if this happens, it's going to get spanked if this happens. As long as I've been doing this, for 18 years, this is as one-sided as I've seen it. Why is that?
In the next six to 12 months, the odds that we will see higher prices, rather than lower, are good.... With the financial crisis we're looking at, you've got China coming out and saying, we may need to diversify our foreign exchange reserves away from the dollar. Gold could certainly be a recipient. Saudi Arabia was able to hold the other Middle Eastern countries from doing the same and looking to diversify their petrodollars into other currencies, which would weaken the dollar and help gold. I saw a story that [the Russian energy company] Gazprom was considering, more likely sooner rather than later, to diversify its oil and gas sales out of dollars and into euros and rubles. When you see those kinds of stories, there isn't anything in there that would be negative for gold. Is the state of the dollar the most important factor in the price of gold down the road?
The Fed has painted itself into a corner. They need to manage this situation perfectly. If they're too restrictive, we're going to end up going to lower [interest] rates and having to prime the pump again. If they're too easy, you're going to see the dollar reflect that, and there's potential for importing inflation. Gold loves this kind of environment. What gold-mining company are you high on?
I like Barrick. [The company has been Martin's top holding for about 10 years, he says.] There's people out there who travel a lot—I call them wildcatters—who are out there looking for gold. Sometimes they hit; nine times out of 10, they don't. Barrick has the cash to wait. Because of strong financial stability, they have access to certain types of financial arrangements that I think gives them an advantage. They have these spot-deferred forward sales arrangements with the banks. What that means is that [for many gold-mining companies], they'll enter an agreement to sell their gold forward and they'll lock in. If gold goes up, that becomes a liability, but if gold goes down, that's great. But with Barrick, because of their strong production profile and their stability, they have the option to defer those sales. So if gold does [go] up, they're not going to sell it below price. They'll just roll it, and they're going to take the chance that at some point gold is going to trade down, and they're going to be able to capture that spread. From what I've seen, they're the only ones in the industry who have access to that. Who are some other big players in gold mining?
Newmont is a very large weight in the overall global gold benchmark that we use. We're currently underweight because of their cost creep. They've let their cost of production go up a little bit, and that's cut into their profits. I would have expected them to be a little tighter. But because they're such a big player, we definitely have exposure. What kind of investors should consider gold?
When you talk about people who are young, and starting 401(k)'s, they're trying to time the market and get in and out. But when you look at people who have accumulated their wealth and they're trying to protect those savings, they view gold as an insurance policy. That's where it has a role. And the role would be offsetting those unforeseen risks, probably to the tune of 5 to 10 percent of someone's portfolio.

By the time hosts Lisa Drader-Murphy and Joanne Lawen slipped behind the mic last Thursday night, the packed O'Regan's Mercedes-Benz showroom had filled to standing room only—and rightfully so. The Emerging Designer Showcase, the first of Atlantic Fashion Week's main events, has developed quite the reputation over the last couple years. This season, over a dozen up-and-comers unveiled their latest, and I was pleased to welcome a few more names to my list of young talent for which to look out. Read more »

Halifax: NSCAD students steal the first Atlantic Fashion Week show
Following in Atlantic Fashion Week tradition, the first designer showcase of Halifax's two-night AFW kicked off in the Mercedes-Benz showroom on Kempt Road last Wednesday with work by current students of Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University. Unlike the past, however, their unveiling didn't whip by with only the ghost of a few key pieces lingering in its wake. Instead, the NSCAD students, their designs rich with imagination and artistry, have completely swallowed my memory of the evening. Our art college, ever strengthening its fashion department, must be doing something right.
Read a round-up of the shows, after the jump.
Halifax: Atlantic Fashion Week(end) part one
No need for asterisks or apologetic preambles: my city finally nailed down Fashion Week this season—or at least an abbreviated one—hitting a level of success that's way off the small-town scale.

The legacy of Beckley Mayor Emmett Pugh will be multi-faceted.
What's going on now isn't positive. But there are many positive accomplishments in his 34 years in Beckley city government.
Pugh served as Councilman-at-Large for the City of Beckley from 1979 to 1988. He became Mayor in 1988 and has been re-elected at each opportunity since.
We learned this week that he will step down from his mayoral post, effective Dec. 31, as part of a settlement agreement with the West Virginia Ethics Commission.
Folks that know only that much about Beckley's mayor — or caught the headline or soundbite alone — are missing much of the story however.
It's important to note that Pugh admits no guilt to the nine ethics violations charges against him. He also has voluntarily agreed to retire as mayor, as well as pay $7,000 reimbursement for the cost of the investigation. Also in the agreement, Pugh has agreed not to hold public office for five years, beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
Pugh says the facts found by the Ethics Commission and the facts found by his counsel were essentially the same, just the interpretation was different. Pugh said that it's been going on long enough. He doesn't have the finances or stomach for it anymore.
"This thing has been going on for four years," he said. "It has become very wearing on me."
In his final months in office, Pugh said he hopes to see the Comprehensive Plan for the city through, as well as the Beckley Intermodal Gateway project and other ongoing city projects.
The mayor also holds many civic leadership roles, such as his involvement with the United Way of Southern West Virginia and Beckley Area Foundation. He has indicated that he will remain active in those roles.
As Pugh is moving on, it is also time for the City of Beckley to put this aside and move forward.
It's a bit of a black eye — the negative publicity — to have to deal with now, but there have been too many positives over the past several years to dwell on anything that isn't moving Beckley forward.
Beckley is doing as well financially as any city its size in the state. It has a wealth of community and business activities that it supports well.
The future here is very bright. We must not lose sight of that.
What happens next in city government is crucial to the future of Beckley. Our hope is that the transition will be handled professionally and productively.
Because the positive momentum that Beckley has enjoyed over the past few decades must not be interrupted or hindered by playing politics.
Because in the end, it's the legacy of the City of Beckley that matters most.
Mayor's legacy will be multi-faceted

Culminating Event for Bringing Balance to IMF Reform Debate
July 18-19, 2008
Waterloo, Ontario, CanadaCentre for International Governance and Innovation
Meeting Objectives
The timing of the workshop is highly pertinent. To date, the debate about International Monetary Fund (IMF) reform has been shaped largely by conversations within and among OECD countries and orthodox or mainstream economists. This project proposes to remedy this imbalance to the debate. Over the past year, CIGI, New Rules for Global Finance, and Oxford University's Global Economic Governance Programme have been sponsoring a series of regional meetings that would enable developing countries to articulate their needs and priorities for future services from the IMF. We have brought together former and current finance ministers, central bank governors, academics, and stakeholders from each of the regions to discuss in small and intimate settings the kinds of monetary cooperation that would benefit their region most and what role the IMF would or would not play in achieving these ends.
We have held five meetings that covered Asia, Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The findings of these meetings have been interesting and we would like to share and discuss these findings with you and others interested in the future of global monetary relations in our Waterloo meeting. The purpose of these regional meetings and the convening conference is to influence the policy process.
As you may know, the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) is conducting an evaluation of the IMF's interactions with its member countries (the draft issues note can be found at http://www.ieo-imf.org/pub/issues.html). The evaluation seeks to answer whether the interactions have been effective and well-managed. Members of the team undertaking the evaluation will be at the conference, and we hope to hear from them as well as contribute to their work, which when finalized, will be presented to the IMF's Executive Board and published. A subgroup, headed by New Rules for Global Finance, will also meet in the Fall with representatives of the US presidential candidates, on the assumption that some reforms require the positive engagement of the US President.

WASHINGTON — Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, is being forced to grapple with one of the unexpected byproducts of the conflict in Georgia: His plan to withdraw American forces in Iraq was predicated on all partner nations keeping their troop levels intact.
With nearly 2,000 Georgian troops returning home in the midst of the crisis there, the coalition has lost what one senior military official called one of the largest and most capable contributions to the Iraq effort. As a result, the official said, Petraeus is now assessing whether he will have to change his plans, including possibly delaying the return home of some U.S. forces this year.

DUXBURY, Vt. — Doug Folsom bought a gun, left a recorded message telling his wife to "hang tough," climbed into the hammock outside his family's Duxbury home and pulled the trigger.
That was more than a month ago, on June 6.
The suicide followed two years of watching his young wife and 3-year-old daughter, Angela, wither from acquired immune deficiency syndrome. He lived with the fear that 4-year-old Nicolette, who so far has managed to escape the disease, would test positive.

"I fell in love with this design and color scheme. Getting married this summer, our names on the label will be a lovely gift to my groom."

On top of that, after I ordered, I left off my apartment # (in the address) and WPD "proofs" their items so I when they sent the proof I noticed the incomplete address. I immediately added it and INSTANTLY (no joke, within minutes) they sent me a corrected proof. I'm blown away by the personalized attention to detail, this didn't feel like a large company I ordered from but rather a small one that gave me wonderful one on one attention.

PTO teams with Google on database
- By Juliana Gruenwald
- June 2, 2010
- Leave a comment
The Patent and Trademark Office announced Wednesday it has reached a two-year "no-cost" agreement with Google to make patent and trademark data electronically available for free to the public in bulk form.
Saying it lacks the technical capacity to offer such a service, PTO said the two-year agreement with Google is a temporary solution while the agency seeks a contractor to build a database that would allow the public to access such information in electronic machine-readable bulk form.
PTO Director David Kappos said in a statement that the move is part of the agency's efforts to comply with President Obama's open government initiative by "making valuable public patent and trademark information more widely available in a bulk form so companies and researchers can download it for analysis and research."
Some of the information that will be available on the Google-operated site includes patent grants and published applications; trademark applications; trademark trial and appeal board proceedings; patent classification information; patent maintenance fee information; and patent and trademark assignments.
Up until now, the PTO provided such data only in bulk form for a fee.

Why a Job Interview Is Like a Date
Focus on whether it's a mutual match, not solely on getting an offer.
I see too many job applicants who approach the interview as if their only goal is to win a job offer, losing sight of the fact that this can land them in the wrong job—a job they won't enjoy, a job they'll struggle in, or even a job they might get fired from.
Yes, it's nerve-wracking to feel scrutinized by an interviewer, and a natural response is to want to measure up. But the wiser goal is to focus on learning whether you're a mutual match—emphasis on mutual. Think of it like dating: If you approached every date determined to make your date fall for you, you'd miss important cues about whether or not you were right for each other.
This means being honest about your strengths and weaknesses and giving the hiring manager a glimpse of the real you, so she can make an informed decision about how well you'd do in the job. It also means interviewing the interviewer, asking questions to figure out things like: Is the work well aligned with your strengths—your real ones, not the ones you puffed up in your cover letter? Is the environment one you'll thrive in or one that will drive you over the edge? Is the manager someone you'd want to work with? Or is she flaky and disorganized? An unreasonable tyrant? A wimp who can't get things done?
If you get offered and accept the job, you're going to be doing this work with these people, all day, every day. Your goal is to find out if you can do it well and happily—not to get the job at all costs.

I LOVE Brushetta so when I saw this recipe on this website, this was a must try for me. My husband and I live in Germany, so food selection at the commissary is sometimes limited, therefore, I substituted the Roased Red Pepper Italian dressing in this recipe. Also insted of grilling (it was cold and rainy outside), I cooked the marinated chicken breasts on the stovetop skillet, then placed the breasts in a baking dish, covered them with the bruschetta and a little extra cheese, and broiled them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Not only was this recipe DELISHIOUS, it looked as good as it tasted, and was a huge hit with the hubby! He insists I make it again!
YUM!! For such a simple recipe it sure turned out well! I did not grill, as it was cold outside, but cooked them in a skillet with a little extra dressing. I added a clove of fresh garlic to the cheese/tomato mixture and then broiled until melted. Delicious and easy!
I used this overall concept and made the chicken in the oven, so we don't have a grill. I made bruscetta, put some salt and pepper on the chicken, put the bruscetta over the chicken, and then baked it. I then sprinkled some mozzerella cheese on it and put it back in the oven another 5 minutes to melt it. It was great.

2010 Las Vegas Nevada - Tribute to the Troops
American Airlines provided air transportation to troops from Walter Reed and Bethesda and some from New York to the Las Vegas event.
America's Huey 091 Foundation, Monster Drinks, The Non-Commissioned Officers Association, The Fighting 69th, Ft Worth Airpower Foundation, and the Pentagon Foundation host a private concert by Forest Gump and CSI New York star Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band at the Orleans Hotel.
Nearly 75 wounded soldiers and their families arrived to a heartwarming red-carpet welcome in The Venetian's Grand Colonnade. More than 1,000 gracious guests and Venetian team members cheered on the veterans as they proceeded through the crowd to the welcoming ceremony.
Attended by internationally-known philanthropists Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman of the board and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp., the ceremony featured the Nellis Air Force Base Honor Guard and "America's Tenor," Steve Amerson, who sang the National Anthem. ThanksUSA's Bob Okun, and Las Vegas Sands Corp. President Michael Leven addressed the crowd of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps veterans, expressing their gratitude for the veterans' courage and sacrifice.
This year marked the fifth time Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson, along with The Sands Foundation, have hosted our nation's wounded warriors at The Venetian to say thank you and to honor their service and bravery.
"You're getting thanked in this amazing way, having an amazing weekend in Vegas," said Army veteran Bryant Jacobs, wounded while serving in Iraq. "How could you not get teary eyed?"
During their stay at The Venetian, they enjoyed a performance and VIP reception by Blue Man Group; an intimate concert with country music legend Clint Black; America's Huey 091 Foundation with iBOT recipients and special guests CW5 Gary Linfoot (U.S. Army, Ret. "Nightstalker" 160 SOAR) and Cpl. Eddie Beesley (USMC, Ret) helped sponsor a private concert by Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band at the Orleans Hotel; skydiving exhibitions by Dana Bowman (former Army Golden Knight) and the USAF Academy's Precision Sky Divers as well as an Air Show at Nelis Air Force Base —all the while enjoying luxurious all-suite accommodations.
The weekend concluded with a Sunday afternoon show by Terry Fator, ventriloquist and "America's Got Talent" winner.

"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree."
- Joyce Kilmer
The United Nations has declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests, to celebrate trees.
In New York City, Bette Midler works to green urban spaces with trees. In a town in southwest Florida, the TREE Foundation is planting a thousand trees. Even the Queen of England got her hands in the dirt, launching a project to plant 6 million trees throughout the United Kingdom.
All of us depend upon trees for life on Earth. Forests contribute significantly to sustainable development, poverty eradication and human health, according to the United Nations.
Several generations ago, trees covered approximately 10 billion acres (30 percent) of our planet's land area. Satellite images indicate that over 80 percent of this green canopy blanketing Earth has been destroyed by human activities. The remainder faces enormous pressures of degradation, with an area the size of New York City (approximately 200,000 acres) removed every day. Some countries fare worse than others: Madagascar has cleared almost 95 percent of its forests, whereas forests in Surinam remain almost intact.
Why are forests so important? Forests provide what scientists call "ecosystem services." These essential services keep us alive, providing free benefits even as we sleep. Forest services include water conservation, energy production, medicines, climate control, building materials, shade, homes for countless species, soil stability, carbon storage, pollution offset, and cultural heritage for millions of people. When forests disappear, people experience water shortages, soil erosion, loss of pollinators, and extinction of species that provided food and livelihoods.
But the good news is that many individuals, governments and businesses are planting trees. More than 10 million acres of forest are planted each year.
Scientists still have a lot to learn about the machinery of forests. How do these "factories" produce oxygen, store carbon and support millions of creatures living in their foliage? In Peru, a quarter-mile-long walkway through the treetops provides scientists with unprecedented observations of orchids, beetles, macaws and other creatures high in the jungle. In Brazil, the Amazonian Tall Tower Observatory will soar almost 1,000 feet above the forest, providing long-term monitoring of forest respiration and other important processes. Such research programs are critical to ensure the health of our planet, and the future of life on Earth.

23andMe Inc.'s clash with U.S. regulators over the direct sale of its gene analysis service to consumers signals stiffer oversight of thousands of tests in an industry predicted to increase fivefold in size.
The Personal Genome Test from Google-backed 23andMe gives individuals an analysis of their risk of hundreds of diseases based on DNA data. The Food and Drug Administration's action last month to ban sales of the service suggests the agency is expanding its focus to tests it hadn't regulated, said Jeff Gibbs, an attorney with Hyman Phelps & McNamara in Washington.
Genetic tests are in increasing demand to diagnose or determine disease risk and help make treatment decisions, especially in cancer. Increased regulation is needed to make sure tests like 23andMe's fulfill their claims, said James Evans, a geneticist at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
"These tests should ultimately have to prove themselves," Evans said in a telephone interview. "They should be forced to gather the evidence that backs up those claims."
Genetic analysis of sick and healthy individuals poses new challenges to insurers and government health programs such as Medicare that pay for medical care. UnitedHealth Group Inc., the biggest U.S. health insurer, said last year that it expects national annual spending on genetic tests to increase fivefold over the next decade to $25 billion.
The industry includes companies such as closely held San Diego-based Pathway Genomics Inc., which was cautioned by the FDA about giving estimates of genetic risk of disease directly to consumers, and now provides them through doctors. A large part of the industry isn't tightly overseen by the agency, including Salt Lake City-based Myriad Genetics Inc., among the biggest providers of genetic breast and ovarian cancer diagnostic services, and many smaller laboratories, such as closely held Ambry Genetics Corp., that offer a variety of genetic tests.
23andMe, based in Mountain View, Calif., said in a statement on its website that the company is committed to working with the FDA to address the agency's concerns. While all marketing of the Personal Genome stopped almost two weeks ago, and 23andMe halted sales of health-related data Dec. 5, some customers said the FDA is interfering with their access to personal health information.
"I want to know my own biology; it's my right," said Lynn Fellman, a multimedia artist in Washington who signed up two years ago with 23andMe. "With 23andMe, I don't have to go to the medical establishment to get this information."
Other clients say 23andMe misled them about the accuracy and validity of its test. A complaint filed Nov. 27 in federal court in San Diego seeks $5 million, saying the Personal Genome Service advertised medical claims without getting appropriate FDA authorization.
The FDA's wider purview may include laboratory developed tests, Gibbs said. These tests examine genes or groups of genes for signs of damage and dangerous inborn variations. Manufacturers typically seek FDA marketing clearance for tests that determine whether a person's cancer is treatable by a certain drug. For example, doctors prescribe skin cancer treatment with Roche Holding's Zelboraf after the patient undergoes an FDA-approved test for a certain mutation in the BRAF gene.
Many labs, however, have developed tests that aren't FDA- approved. Some of the more controversial tests use proprietary formulas to suggest whether cancer patients should receive certain treatments, such as harsher forms of radiation or chemotherapy. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in June the agency is working to ensure the validity and accuracy of "'high-risk'' laboratory tests.
''It's an issue that's been percolating for years," Gibbs said in a telephone interview. "This is the policy issue that's most in people's minds."
There are about 3,000 laboratory-developed tests available, and most are monitored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, rather than the FDA. CMS requires laboratories only show that the tests are accurate and repeatable, not that they contribute to patient care, as FDA reviews do.
The FDA is preparing guidance for regulating laboratory tests, which is currently in administrative review, Susan Laine, an agency spokeswoman, said in an email. Laine wouldn't say what further action the agency might take in the testing area.
The FDA last month gave its first approval for medical use of next-generation sequencing machines, which laboratories increasingly use to decipher swatches of DNA. One of the approved machines is a product from San Diego-based Illumina Inc., the biggest maker of sequencers, that helps laboratories develop tests for specific medical purposes.
23andMe's direct-to-consumer approach bears little resemblance to laboratory tests that are normally ordered and interpreted by physicians, said Alan Mertz, president of the American Clinical Laboratory Association, an industry group based in Washington.
The FDA doesn't have the authority to regulate laboratory tests, Mertz's group said in a citizen's petition in June. In addition, reining in laboratory tests would stand in the way of patient care, because gaining approval would be too expensive and laborious, the petition said.
The tests "will never generate the financial returns needed to justify the costs of obtaining FDA clearance or approval," the petition said. "Patients served by these tests would be left with no testing options."

Change in Sales Volume: 2009 to 2011
Source: Real Capital Analytics
So while the five gateway markets alone continue to account for 64 percent of the sales volume in our sample the greatest rate of sales growth is clearly occurring outside of the gateway markets. Are these two groups of investors getting what they are paying for? Or are they entering certain markets expecting one thing and leaving with something quite different?
It is commonly held wisdom that investments in gateway markets benefit from superior pricing stability and greater liquidity. Conversely, commonly held wisdom is that investors venturing into non-gateway markets are accepting more price volatility and reduced liquidity in return for higher yields. Are these widely held beliefs supported by the facts? Let's first examine the pricing behavior of gateway and non-gateway markets. To do this I will use the Moody's Commercial Property Pricing Index ("CPPI"). The CPPI is a repeat sales pricing index. The graph below shows the annual, indexed pricing movements of New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., the 10 largest office markets and national office market beginning in 2000 and ending in 2011. Is pricing in the gateway markets really more stable? The graph below reveals adifferent reality.

Bad Indians - The Path Home (Ginkgo Records)
Bad Indians are getting good, as this recording attests
Published: November 16, 2011
Bad Indians are getting good. This 7-inch recorded on a 4-track cassette is their clearest sound to date! Dig the subtle bubblegum-pop, echo-laden psychedelia and feedback squalls, plus the harmonies, organs and discernible vocals. Their Spring LP hinted at this Ypsi-quartet's honing of lo-fi DIY methods; it seems their dynamism as a live rock act can start now. —Jeff Milo

Special to the Progress
As Christmas approaches, I cannot help but reflect back on how much Christmas has changed for me personally. As a child, Christmas was about the things we would get at Christmas.
For me as an adult, I am drawn to Christmas as a holiday I spend trying to help others and reflect back on the year's outcomes. I am thankful for my family, friends and community which bless me with a support group that enables me to help others. Community work has made Doug and Is marriage stronger as something we do together whether it is working the Annual Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo or donating time and monies to those in need on other local projects.
My mom and I have chosen to forgo gifts for each other in the traditional sense. Now, we donate to a local cause in honor of each other.
Last Christmas, I went shopping in honor of my mom for our honored guests at Claremore's own Claremore Veteran's Center. This week, Doug and I are working on going shopping together for our Veteran friends.
The men and women veterans who live at the Veteran's Center are an incredible group of folks who risked their lives for our freedoms. The needs of the Veteran's Center is year round, though. Should the Christmas spirit grab you, I hope you spend some of your Christmas money on the following items for our Veteran heroes.
This week, I will shop for sweat bottoms, disposable razors, shaving cream, name brand denture cream, disposable combs and skid free diabetic socks. Right now, they are in need of small and medium sweat bottoms. The sanitation requirements at the Center means high temperature washes destroy socks and sweats quickly. With 350 Veterans at any given time, there is a constant need throughout the year.
Local volunteers maintain a store inside the Veteran's Center where the residents 'shop' each week. The store is organized, neat, clean and highly efficient. Their work should impress any paid staff. Your donations will always be used and can be accepted by the receptionist during normal business hours.
I used to be stressed out by Christmas and worried about shopping for that perfect gift. Once I decided to simplify and focus on the spirit of Christmas as I see the Holiday, the stress melted away. Buying for the Veteran's and others in need has become something I look forward to each year. In fact, I have been moved to act more than just at Christmas.
I am a Church of Christ girl, so Christmas is a man made holiday since it only happens once a year. If it is truly about the birth of Christ, Christians should celebrate every day of the year and learn to be more giving to those around us every day. I am by no means perfect in this area, but am going to strive to do better for myself and my family.
Remember your family, friends and neighbors who are serving overseas today and send them a care package to your or donate to the local Blue Star Mothers so they can send packages. Learn more about them at rogerscountybluestarmothers.com. If you have time and not money to give, send them a Christmas card with a thoughtful note to brighten their day.
Even with the loss of jobs and continued economic downturn, our focus should be on the needs of those around us and ourselves rather than the wants. Christmas is best when you are giving, not receiving.

By Mike McMahon
NORTH ANDOVER — Ryan Fitzgerald was born in Florida and lived in Nashville and Toronto before settling down in North Reading when he was nine years old.
Such is life when your father plays in the NHL.
Now, the Malden Catholic junior leads a slew of locals on the defending champion Lancers, who beat Central Catholic 4-0 last night at Merrimack College's J. Thom Lawler Arena to advance to their second straight Super 8 championship game at TD Garden on Sunday.
Fitzgerald, Malden Catholic's leading scorer with 47 points (30 goals, 17 assists), has already committed to Boston College as has his younger brother Casey, a freshman defenseman.
The Fitzgerald's father, Tom, played college hockey at Providence before spending 19 seasons in the NHL, including a year with the Boston Bruins in 2005, his final season.
"Growing up around here I think you either really want to go to BC or BU," said Fitzgerald, who had a goal and two assists in last night's win. "I've always been a BC fan so it was an easy choice for me."
Not a single local on the Malden Catholic squad is a senior, yet they makeup four of the Lancers' five leading scorers.
North Andover's Tyler Sifferlen is a sophomore winger and plays alongside freshman Ara Nazarian, who grew up in Boxford but went to St. Michael's and played all of his youth sports in North Andover, including playing youth hockey for the esteemed Middlesex Islanders, which operates some of its teams out of Merrimack College.
Nazarian and Sifferlen figure to be the next big things to come out of a program that has had four Division 1 commitments over the last two years. Along with the Fitzgerald brothers, senior Brendan Collier (Charlestown) committed to Boston University and a graduate off last year's team, Mike Vecchione, committed to New Hampshire but reneged earlier this season. He hasn't chosen where he'll play. Former defenseman Mark Adams is a sophomore at Providence College.
"I've known Ara since he was little," Malden Catholic coach John McLean said. "He tends to try to figure it out and learn at each level he's moved up. In big games, he puts the puck in the net. He has a good, hard hockey IQ. For me, it's not a surprise (the season he's had), I've coached him since he was a mite. He's a big-time player."
Malden Catholic and former Merrimack coach diagnosed with cancer
Former Merrimack College head coach and athletic director Chris Serino, the current head coach and AD with the Lancers, is in the midst of a second battle with throat cancer.
Serino took a medical leave before the Malden Catholic season began and has given the head coaching reins to assistant John McLean, who was also his assistant on the Merrimack staff.
Serino, 62, survived a battle with throat cancer in 2001, when then-associate head coach Mike Doneghey served as interim head coach for the Warriors much of that season.

The Bisons dropped the opener of their doubleheader with Pawtucket, 9-2. They also lost second baseman Justin Turner to a potentially serious knee injury on the second pitch of the game.
As a result, there a few lineup changes for the second game. Turner is out, with Russ Adams moving from right field to second base. Also out is Fernando Martinez, who looked like he could have been playing with an injury in the first game. Either that or he was serioulsy dogging it on a couple flyballs and a grounder that turned into a double play.
Andy Green, who replaced Turner at second in the first game, moves to center field.
Here's the lineup for game two:
Luis Hernandez, SS
Green, CF
