The National Garden Bureau named 2012 as the year of the herb, but sort of left us hanging as far as which herb we should be getting excited about.
After all, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of herbs. Many weeds are herbs, not to mention that many flowers are herbs. So which one do we add to our gardens this season in honor of the year of the herb?
Just when we were beginning to wonder if anyone could make a decision, the International Herb Association came to our rescue and proclaimed the herb of the year is rose. This helps, somewhat.
I have a few roses in my yard. My favorite is, of course, an heirloom climbing rose that my mother gave me from her yard. My mother passed away shortly after she gave me the plant. She had two and only wanted one, so she kept the red climber and gave me the pink rose. Shortly after my mother died, my husband built a large arbor to support the climber. It grew large and fast. After only three years, it draped over the 12-foot high arbor, and every June it blooms clusters of single, dark pink roses that last at least a month on the canes. I don't know the variety, but love it when the plant is in bloom.
I also have a damask rose that we moved from one part of the yard to another, and it didn't seem to care. It blooms every spring, pale pink double flowers that are so fragrant they perfume the entire yard and the neighbor's yard as well.
Damask roses are the old garden roses and are considered the most fragrant. The oils of the damask rose are used to make attar of rose or rose oil. It is used in making rose water and for scenting perfumes. The plant is a shrub with nasty thorns and branches that grow every which way like wild hair. But because it is an heirloom, it is quite hardy. We can prune it back to the ground, and it will come back. It didn't mind moving when we decided it belonged by the fence instead of standing alone in the center of the yard. Every year, it still blooms. Damask is related to gallica roses, short, stocky plants that are native to Europe.
Another rose in my garden is a polyantha called Rosa The Fairy. The Fairy is a popular shrub rose among gardeners. Although it grows about two to three feet tall, it can get quite wide and trail three to five feet across. In June the plant will bloom, covering the entire shrub with small pink flowers and creating quite a showy display. It blooms all season, although not quite as impressive as that first burst in early summer. This growth habit is typical of polyantha roses as well as the fact that it is a low maintenance plant with good resistance against black spot and Japanese beetles.
I jumped on the band wagon a few years ago and bought a Knock-Out rose that I planted in the front garden. My Knock-Out is one of the original bright red species with single blooms. I like to think of Knock-Out as the high definition version of roses. The blooms seem to be sharper in color and stand out against the dark green foliage. Varieties have since been cultivated that are double bloomed. Colors range from pink to red and a yellow variety developed a few years ago has become quite popular.
Knock-Out is a trademarked variety developed by Wisconsin rose breeder William Radler. Radler was looking for a rose that was hardy to cold winters and heat tolerant, which would come in handy this season. It is resistant to disease. The popularity of the Knock-Out rose and its shrub-growth habit is appealing to municipalities, public buildings and landscapers looking for low-maintenance, but attractive plants. Like the Stella D'Oro lily of several years ago, the Knock-Out rose has evolved into a popular public landscape plant.
You might wonder what roses have to do with herbs. In fact, roses were herbs long before they were ornamental plants. The seed pods of heirloom roses, called rose hips, are a high source of Vitamin C. It is often used to make tea and can be made into jams, jellies and syrup.
I already mentioned rose oil in perfumes, but in addition to the oils, fresh rose petals were once made into an infusion and used as an astringent to alleviate bleeding. Rose blossoms steaming in a kettle also were used as a facial cleanser. It goes without saying that roses are the symbol of romantic love.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Boring and ho-hum will never be words used to describe the unique collection of assistant coaches James Franklin has assembled at Penn State.
If you have no idea what a nekton is, well, join the club. Or just ask running backs coach and special teams coordinator Charles Huff, who baffled everyone Friday by mentioning the nekton and making one of the most interesting and off the wall comparisons you'll ever hear in football.
"I'm not sure how many science teachers are in the building," Huff said. "But a nekton is a living organism that can flow freely through water not affected by the current, and it's always attacking. The most reasonable example will be a great white shark."
Uh, yeah.
And how exactly does that relate to football?
"A great white shark will eat and eat and eat until it dies, and it won't say I'm full," Huff said. "That's how we'll be on special teams. We'll attack and attack and attack."
Fact Box
PSU assistants
Some of the coaches have multiple titles:
John Donovan (offensive coordinator)
Bob Shoop (defensive coordinator)
Charles Huff (special teams coordinator, running backs)
Brent Pry (assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator, linebackers)
Josh Gattis (receivers, offensive recruiting coordinator)
Herb Hand (offensive line, run game coordinator)
Ricky Rahne (quarterbacks, passing game coordinator)
Terry Smith (cornerbacks, defensive recruiting coordinator)
Sean Spencer (defensive line)
Dwight Galt (strength and conditioning)
As if the nekton stuff wasn't intriguing enough, Huff also compared his special teams philosophy to the late great distance runner, Steve Prefontaine.
"He coined the term of 'suicide pace,'" Huff said. "So from the time the gun went off, he was sprinting. From the time we come off the mat, we'll be flying around. Any person that steps on the mat that is a special teams player here at Penn State will be flying around."
The fact that PSU will finally have one person in charge of all the special teams should come as great news after the program has struggled so badly in those areas for years.
As intriguing as Huff's comments were, he merely shared the honor of most entertaining personality among the assistant coaches, who were all unveiled Friday at Beaver Stadium.
The Nittany Lions now have a guy on staff whose nickname is "Coach Chaos." That title is held by defensive line coach Sean Spencer, whose energy, passion and enthusiasm would be best described as a train going 100 mph.
Spencer was fired up talking about everything, even Sheetz MTOs. The Sheetz Corporation might want to check into signing him as a pitchman.
"I told [Coach Franklin] the other day, I looked at him and he had on a Penn State shirt, and I said, 'You're the head coach at Penn State. I just remember years ago we were sharing MTOs because we didn't have any money,'" Spencer said.
Like Franklin, Spencer once coached in the PSAC and became very familiar with driving all over the state recruiting. Those days are long gone, but not his love for MTOs.
But what about the big Pennsylvania debate of the MTO versus Wawa?
"Wawa was in Philly," Spencer said. "When I was at Villanova I used to love the Wawa. But I'm telling you, I love the MTO."
Of the new assistant coaches, all of whom had been previously known prior to Friday because of social media, Spencer might have the biggest shoes to fill taking over for Larry Johnson.
"Unbelievable respect for Coach Johnson and what he's done here," Spencer said. "Respect for what he's done for African-Americans like me to help us move on in this profession. Really guided the way for us all. But when people talk about big shoes, I really have my own shoes to fill. I'm coming from the SEC, so it wasn't small-boy football out there."
Spencer's goal is "establishing my own self and establishing my own foundation, and then hopefully years from now people can talk about me the same way they talk about [Johnson]."
Seven of the nine assistants are coming with Franklin from Vanderbilt, along with strength and conditioning coach Dwight Galt. Franklin called Galt the "most important hire" and referred to him as the "Yoda of the program" for all of his knowledge.
Huff also previously worked with Franklin at Vanderbilt in 2011, so nine of the 10 new coaches are very familiar with one another. The only exception is cornerbacks coach Terry Smith, but Franklin knows the former western PA high school coach well from the recruiting path.
"Really, really excited about the staff that we've been able to put together," Franklin said. "For me, what I was looking for is really familiarity - guys that I've worked with or known for a very, very long time, guys that I trust, guys that I know how they're going to interact with the players."
One of the things that stands out about the collection of assistants is their educational backgrounds. Some of them played or coached at places such as Yale (defensive coordinator Bob Shoop), Cornell (quarterbacks coach Ricky Rahne) and Johns Hopkins (offensive coordinator John Donovan), and they coached at a world-class university in Vanderbilt.
"If you kind of look at the staff, what I'm looking for is I want to surround myself with as many smart guys as I possibly can," Franklin said. "I think you hear that all the time in leadership.
"People talk about getting into leadership roles and surrounding themselves with really talented people, but then they don't do that. A lot of people get intimidated by that."
Franklin also is known for empowering his assistants by delegating responsibilities. He's involved in every aspect of the team, like any head coach, but he trusts his coaches to handle their duties and doesn't micromanage them.
Franklin describes himself as "the CEO of Penn State football," and that could be construed by some that he lets his assistants run the ship and handle most of the Xs and Os. Shoop said Franklin "doesn't get enough credit for being a good football coach. He knows football inside and out."
"He's done a great job of surrounding himself with people who complement him," Shoop added. "And he trusts John Donovan, he trusts myself to coach the offense, to coach the defense, to do our jobs so he can be the face of the program, so he can be the CEO of Penn State football."

Dorchester County has awarded the bid and signed the contract to start construction on the new detention center.
The contract was awarded to H.G. Reynolds, an Aiken-based construction firm, during Dorchester County Councils Aug. 11 meeting.
The final contract was signed last week and the contractor given directions to start work immediately, according to County Administrator Jason Ward.
The new detention center, to be built on property located at 220 Hodge Road in Summerville, will be some 83,400 square feet and will house 350 beds, with enough space to accommodate up to 650, if necessary. It is also designed so that additional pods are fairly easy to add.
Pods are not cheap, but theyre a lot cheaper to build than another jail, Sheriff L.C. Knight noted.
The county originally had established an $18 million budget for the project when it issued bonds for the design and construction of the jail. However, when the bids were open in July, they came in higher than the original $18 million approved. After revisiting the figures, including expenses already incurred, bids received, and remaining estimated project costs, county staff estimated the cost to be $23,466,491.
Staff also recommended allocating the additional funds as follows:
$48,716 in interest earned from the 2012 bond
$3,951,000 in general obligation bonds
$1,325,000 in lease purchase agreements
$23,032 in cash from the Capital Improvement Funds.
During its Aug. 11 meeting, council unanimously passed motions to amend the detention center construction budget to $23,466,491, to authorize the county administrator to begin drafting ordinances and documentation necessary to issue a $4.041 million General Obligation bond and $1.365 million lease purchase agreement, and to award the contract to H.G. Reynolds Company.
Knight said he is pleased the project is moving forward. With the current detention center built to house 150 and the daily census now averaging around 300, the new jail is a necessity, he said.
Im excited to see it get started, Knight said. Its something the county needs we have to be able to handle the growth thats coming. Wed rather spend the money some other way, but we have to have some place to put them.
A groundbreaking is tentatively being planned; no date has been determined yet, according to county officials.

Jan. 23
William A. Robinson, 51, of Phelps Street, Lockport, admitted in Niagara County Court that he stole copper pipes from a house on Grand Street in Lockport and sold the metal to get money to buy drugs.
Robinson admitted to third-degree burglary and was assigned by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment.
If Robinson succeeds in the program, he will receive a misdemeanor and a probation sentence, but if not, he could spent as long as seven years in state prison.
The burglary occurred Nov. 26. Thirty pounds of copper was sold at Lock City Metals on West Avenue, Assistant District Attorney Claudette S. Caldwell said. Robinson was ordered to pay $1,100 in restitution to the homeowner.
• An out-of-town contractor told Niagara Falls police that a co-worker skipped town taking all her tools.
A woman working for an independent cellphone contractor, told police that her partner suddenly quit last week and has not returned phone calls from her or their company. The woman said the suspect was supposed to come and pick her up in his 2001 Alero on Jan. 17, but never returned. She said he had all her tools in his vehicle, which included different types of cable cutter, various wrenches, socket sets, screw guns, cable testers and a bar code scanner that belonged to the company.
Total loss was estimated $4,500.
Jan. 24
Jeffrey M. Tretter, 20, of Eddy Drive, North Tonawanda, pleaded guilty in Niagara County Court to fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He had about one-quarter ounce of cocaine May 15 as he sat in a car outside an apartment on Pine Street in Lockport, which police were raiding.
County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III assigned Tretter to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment. Tretter faces a maximum of 5½ years in prison if he fails at the program, but if he succeeds, he will be placed on probation after his charge is reduced to a misdemeanor.
• Lockport police said they had to force a distraught man to hand over his infant son at his Niagara Street home. Brandon K. Hoffman, 19, of Niagara Street, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration at 9:15 p.m. Thursday.
Hoffman was found in his home crying and yelling, according to police, and refused to hand over his infant son to the baby's mother or his father. Police said when they tried to talk to him he kicked at police. He reportedly became enraged when someone took the child, shaking and bouncing the baby around.
Additional officers were called to the scene and were able to return the child to the mother.
Hoffman was forcibly taken into custody and was physically subdued, police said.
Jan. 25
Erratic driving led to the arrest of a North Tonawanda man, who was later found to have been hiding a crack pipe inside his sock, sheriff's deputies said.
Sharif Y. Hamdy, 40, of Nash Road, told Niagara County sheriff's deputies that he had no driver's license, and a check showed that he possessed only a nondriver's I.D. card, which had been suspended for failure to appear in court in Grand Island, as well as failure to pay a fine in Amherst. Hamdy was charged with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, as well as passing a red light and driving on the shoulder. Possible drug charges are pending the outcome of testing on the seized pipe.
• Upset over being denied a paper cup, a customer shoved a cash register off the counter and onto the floor of the City Market McDonald's restaurant, Niagara Falls police said. The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. when the female customer asked for a cup but was refused. Enraged, she began yelling profanities before shoving the register to the floor and fleeing the restaurant, heading west on Pine Avenue, police said. The register was not damaged, and the woman could not be located, police said.
Jan. 26
A thief targeted a vacant house on C Street, stealing more than $2,000 worth copper pipe and wiring.
Police said the theft probably occurred during the previous week. Copper pipe and electrical wiring was stripped from the walls. Damage to drywall was estimated at $1,000.
• A false alarm on a possible medical emergency brought police and emergency crews to a Nicki's Lane apartment house in Wheatfield, where they took a .380-caliber pistol from a 91-year-old man.
An EMS crew had convinced the man to put the gun down after arriving at the home shortly before 10 p.m. and seeing him through a window, holding the weapon. He told police he had owned the gun for three decades and did not realize he needed a permit to possess the weapon, which was then confiscated. A relative was contacted and was making plans to take possession of the gun. No charges were filed.
• A North Tonawanda man was charged with drunken driving after he went off the road and crashed into a tree at 7:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Ward Road in Wheatfield.
Ronald J. Golimowski, 53, of Meadowbrook Drive, was charged with driving while intoxicated and failure to keep right by Niagara County sheriff's deputies.
Golimowski went off the road, collided with a tree and needed to be extricated from his vehicle by rescuers from the St. Johnsburg Fire Company, according to deputies. He was taken by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center with leg and ankle injuries that rescuers called minor. When questioned, Golimowski told deputies he felt drowsy and went off the road. Deputies said they received a positive sensor reading for DWI.
He was charged at ECMC but refused to submit to a blood test until he was able to consult with an attorney, deputies said.
Jan. 27
A neighbor alerted Niagara County sheriff's deputies when the lights were on, but no one was supposed to be living in a closed home on the seasonal Sunset Island.
The woman said she investigated and called deputies when it appeared that a window was broken at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Deputies said they found a rear door unsecured with Solo plastic cups littered throughout the house, a table set up for beer pong, a fireplace that had recently been burning wood, and a pull out futon couch with pillow and blankets. Deputies said the screen was pulled back, but no window was broken.
The house was secured by deputies, and the owner was contacted and asked to check the house and determine if anything was stolen or damaged.
• A 23-year-old man told Niagara Falls police he was beaten up by three men and had his car stolen when he went to a 24th Street address to attempt to purchase illegal prescription narcotics.
The victim told police he pulled up to an address in the 400 block of 24th Street at 7:30 p.m. to meet a woman and purchase several Opana pills, a narcotic painkiller, from her.
He said while he was waiting, a man walked up and asked for his identity and told him to follow him into the house. Once inside he told police he was confronted by two more men and the three men punched him, pulled him into a basement and shook him down, taking his wallet, which contained his driver's license and $510 and then fled. The victim said when he went back outside his car, a 2004 Saturn, registered to his mother, was gone.
Police were allowed entry to the house and were able to search the basement, but said they were unable to locate the suspects or recover the vehicle.
• Niagara County sheriff's deputies said they had to rapidly slow down to avoid a vehicle that left a parking lot without yielding to oncoming traffic just before 5 p.m. in the 5800 block of South Transit Road in Lockport.
Lisa Ann Sebo, 47, of Lockwood Lane was charged with driving while intoxicated, failure to stop from an alleyway or private drive, and moving from a lane unsafely.
She was additionally charged with drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle when she was found with an open, cold bottle of a flavored vodka drink within her reach.
Jan. 28
The property manager of a house in the 4000 block of Elmwood Avenue in Niagara Falls found the inside of the house destroyed, copper plumbing cut and stolen and electrical lines ripped out of the walls.
The manager said the previous tenants were evicted. He said someone had stripped the walls of pipes and electrical lines, stolen the water meter and water tank, damaged the walls, tore apart and destroyed the kitchen and two bathrooms. Loss was estimated at $16,750.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
There are two functionally different types of DNA transfection (with a gray area between). On the one hand, stable transfections allow newly introduced genetic material to be passed down as part of the fixed genome. On the other hand, transiently transfected cells carry transgenes episomally.
We rarely hear much about transfection—it's more of a behind-the-scenes player. Yet whether and why to make stable lines vs. transiently transfect, as well as seeming nuances such as which host cell line to use, how to introduce the DNA, under what conditions to culture the cells—both short term and long, and even what kind of media to use, can lead to (or avoid) untold frustrations in the process of generating the cells for manufacturing or experimental purposes.
Such nuances were certainly on the mind of researchers who shared their transfection experiences at Informa's "Cell Line Development and Engineering" meeting held last month.
Science doesn't always proceed by "aha!" moments—sometimes it's incremental advances over a myriad of seemingly small parameters cumulatively coming together that lead to big improvements. That is the case at UCB Pharma UK, where Bernie Sweeney, Ph.D., group leader for protein expression and purification, generates antibodies for early-stage research and preclinical development.
"Back in 2006, we were making about five grams over the year," she said, comparing that to the 40–50 grams of protein they're producing now from an equivalent number of transfections.
Over the past five years UCB has engineered a CHO host overexpressing both XBP-1 and ERO1-Lα, two key regulators of protein secretion and cellular oxidative stress, respectively. Use of this host has resulted in routines titers between 400–700 mg/L.
Supplying reagents for several ongoing projects at early-stage discovery through in vivo studies means that their system needs to be able to cope with both large- and small-scale production. At the moment its preferred method of transfection is electroporation using individual cuvettes, which for large-scale production requires "an awful lot of cuvettes," Dr. Sweeney remarked.
Her group recently delivered a 13 g batch of purified IgG1 in 10 weeks, which would have taken 16–20 weeks using a bulk pool or stable cell-line process, she noted. While labor-intensive, the great benefit of using a transient expression system to generate gram-quantities is its ability to reduce timelines.
Transient transfection is generally seen as a short-term solution for making small amounts of a protein. Yet as several speakers argued, there are distinct advantages that transient transfection offers over its more laborious stable cousin.
Among the most obvious is the time it takes to generate a stable cell line—a major barrier for discovery and preclinical programs that require the screening of multiple different components in conjunction with one another.
And this is especially the case when those components are parts of a complex multimeric protein. Manuel Carrondo, Ph.D., professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at, and CEO of, Portugal's Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica (iBET) and his team developed a HEK293-based virus-producing packaging cell line that allowed for easy replacement of the gene(s) of interest by homologous recombination.
Once the high-producing line was established, it could be reused to generate transient lines with predictable high viral production without the need for further exhaustive clone screening. Compatible retroviral vectors could be swapped in and out in a matter of weeks, in a process called recombinase mediated cassette exchange (RCME).
Typically recombinant viruses and virus-like particles (VLPs) would be produced by co-infection. Jumping from the co-infection strategy to targeting where we know that there is a single insertion and where it is, allows for better management of both the stoichiometry of the unit and also the timing, Dr. Carrondo noted.
"For example, you need a given protein to arrive at a later stage to cover up or to link to the one that has to be there at an earlier stage. Those are thermodynamic and stoichiometric issues involved. By doing this with our recombinant mediated cassette exchange, you can test many more options for VLPs or multimeric proteins in a shorter time than through co-infection and screening."
Production and assembly for the different multimeric proteins can change much faster, vastly improving the iterative process at the preclinical stage, he said.
E. coli and yeast are surely simpler systems, but animal cells are needed to produce complex proteins with post-translational modifications. Dr. Carrondo's group recently set its sights on using this "tag and target" methodology for VLPs and multimeric proteins in insect cell lines.
Compared to mammalian cells they are generally more robust, metabolically easier to deal with, less expensive to maintain, and are also more genetically stable.

Billy Lane Haney, 45, a resident of Mill Creek, passed from this life Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012, to be with God in which he placed all his trust and faith. He had been in his usual health and death was sudden and unexpected due to injuries sustained from an automobile accident in Indiana.
Billy was born Aug. 9, 1967 and is survived by his wife, Rita Fournier Haney, and son, Dustin Haney.
Left to cherish Billy's memory are his brother, Charles Bostick and wife, Teresa, of Valley Head; and his sisters, Pam Channell and husband, Jeff, of Valley Head and Kimberly Cheek and husband Chris, of High Point, N.C. Immediate nieces and nephews who will cherish Billy are Bryan and Brandon Channell, Hillary and Ryan Bostick and Kristine Cheek. Billy is also survived by his grandmother, Betty McCauley with whom he lived for several years and loved deeply. Billy had several aunts and uncles and other immediate family members and special friends who will remember Billy and the times they were privileged to spend with him.
Article Photos
He was preceded in death by his infant sister Tamela McCauley, June 19, 1966 to Sept. 20, 1966.
Billy attended Tygarts Valley High School in Randolph County and volunteered at Tyrand Cooperative Ministries for Belinda Toms in Mill Creek for several years and was there everyday. During his time at the Tyrand Cooperative Ministries, Billy received volunteer of the year and the Noah's Ark thrift store award various times. He also helped the elderly ladies at the church and could be seen on several occasions pushing one of the ladies to church in her wheel chair. He loved Christian music and never met a stranger. He loved to make people laugh, and he always entertained everyone with his amazing voice impersonations. He was our Santa Claus at Christmas time and enjoyed passing out gifts and made sure his special needs nephew was involved. He will be truly missed and loved by all. He spent his life devoted to God and helping others.

There are no answers in the Sabres' dressing room. Buffalo's players are just as lost and frustrated as the fans.
The difference Saturday night was the players had to stick around until the end of another loss. The fans booed and left before it was over.
"Hockey Heaven" has become a faithless, bitter place.
The Sabres' slide into oblivion continued with a 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders. The disgruntled crowd in First Niagara Center saw the Sabres lose for the fourth game in a row and ninth time in 12 outings. Only 1,000 or so in the sellout crowd of 19,070 stuck around until the end, and based on the noise they did so only to jeer.
"We're on the bottom," left wing Steve Ott said. "We're on the ground right now. We're kicked in. But it's the guys who rise, the character that has to continue to show, and that's when the team can start getting out of this hole.
"We haven't started turning a corner."
No, they have not. The frustration pours out in private chats and public comments.
"Well, it's about [expletive] time," goaltender Ryan Miller said.
Miller was among those at a loss for something new to say after the Sabres fell in familiar fashion.
"Once again it's our mistakes that got us," alternate captain Drew Stafford said. "It's the same old story."
The only change was the messenger. His message was clear.
The players didn't listen.
One of Ron Rolston's clearest points in his opening days as interim coach was the importance of staying focused every shift. He said the Sabres needed to stop blinking first, which translated into avoiding preventable mistakes that turned close games into losses.
The Sabres blinked twice at the end of the second period. While the Sabres closed their eyes, the fans opened their mouths, once again booing the team off the ice.
Buffalo had a relatively strong period going, generating chances five-on-five and even with their struggling power play. They couldn't solve the sterling goaltending of Evgeni Nabokov, however, and the game remained scoreless as the clock ticked toward zero.
Two huge miscues in the final 2:09 changed everything. It's a seasonlong trend that showed the players can't adhere to the message no matter who delivers it.
The opening goal came on a rush just after the Sabres' power play failed to connect for the 42nd time in 44 chances. Matt Moulson carried the puck into the right faceoff circle, spotted Mark Streit getting free from Kevin Porter in the left circle and set up the defenseman for a tap-in.
The Sabres again crumpled under the adversity. Christian Ehrhoff gave the puck away to Michael Grabner in the Islanders' zone, and the speedy forward scored on a breakaway with 1:04 to go.
"It happened again, and it's unacceptable," Ehrhoff said. "We put ourselves in that position again. We were going great. We had a lot of chances on our PP, and we just put ourselves behind again. That was the game."
Indeed, the third period was merely a walkthrough toward a day off. The Sabres will stay away from the rink today and return to practice Monday, then depart for a game in Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
"Right now the guys need to step away a little bit," Rolston said. "We need to recharge. Obviously, the physical part of the lockout schedule, but just emotionally and what they went through this past week, I think right now is a good time to just get away and come back Monday and go to work.
"You have to work to feel better. You're a part of that. You're responsible to make good things happen."
Right now nothing good is happening in Sabreland.
"We need to continue to work through this quicksand," defenseman Mike Weber said. "Once we break through, it's going to be magical again. We've got such a great team in here. We're disappointed and we understand the fans are frustrated. There's 23 guys in here, and we know what we have to do. We have to stick to the program."

After gunshots rang out around noon Monday in front of Northwoods Mall, customers saw North Charleston police officers run inside the building.
SWAT team members soon arrived wearing helmets and clutching military-style rifles.
Jordan Blackstone didn't know it, but a man had been shot three times and seriously wounded in the parking lot outside a bookstore.
The 17-year-old Moncks Corner resident saw the authorities responding as she exercised at Planet Fitness. She was told to stay inside for 30 minutes, then most of the mall was evacuated.
"They kept us in the gym," she said. "I had no idea why we were being held there."
The measures were precautions as officers and deputies looked through the mall in case a gunman had gone inside. But when the search ended more than three hours later, no suspects were found inside, North Charleston Police Department spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
The ordeal closed the 996,000-square-foot mall at 2150 Northwoods Blvd. for five hours.
Nobody was immediately arrested elsewhere, and no suspects had been named. A family member identified the wounded man as 20-year-old Davin Jerome Aiken of North Charleston, but Pryor would not confirm that name.
The victim was in serious condition at Medical University Hospital, according to Charleston County EMS Director Don Lundy, but he managed to give officers his account of what happened.
He went to the mall around 12:30 p.m. to pick up someone he knows, Pryor said. But "some type of confrontation" occurred between the victim and the person he had planned to meet, Pryor said.
A gun was fired, and he was hit three times, according to Lundy.
Some witnesses said the gunman might have climbed into an awaiting vehicle, Pryor said, but others saw two black men running away.
Each was slim, had short hair, weighed about 140 pounds and stood between 5-foot-7 and 6 feet tall, Pryor said. One wore gray and brown camouflage shorts and a white T-shirt, and the other was dressed in long pants and a black shirt.
The scene played out in front of Books-A-Million and near Sears in the part of the mall closest to Rivers Avenue.
On the other side, Blackstone said police officers wouldn't tell anyone at Planet Fitness what was going on. She and the others were later asked to leave, Blackstone said.
The ensuing search, Pryor said, was meant to guard people's safety and "ensure that the suspect did not re-enter the mall."
But the 140 stores and restaurants handled the situation differently, he added. While many people left, some "sheltered in place" until the building was cleared.
With officers posted at entrances and a helicopter circling overhead, SWAT teams from the Police Department and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office held rifles as they moved from store to store.
They emerged around 4 p.m. By then, investigators had finished examining the crime scene. A green Mitsubishi sport-utlity vehicle was towed away.
The authorities shooed away would-be customers. One couple parked outside a nearby Carrabba's restaurant in hopes that the mall would soon reopen.
When that happened at 5:30 p.m., the gate at Journeys clothing store lifted, and an employee welcomed two waiting customers.
Trey Grant, 21, of North Charleston drove up to the mall hours after the shooting. Earlier, his cellphone had been bombarded with text messages from loved ones saying that his cousin, Aiken, had been shot there.
Grant feared that his cousin's ties to North Charleston's street life had prompted the shooting.
Aiken was arrested Jan. 19, 2013, on four counts of attempted murder, according to the State Law Enforcement Division. He had been linked to gunfire that wounded no one the night before near the Hawthorn Suites hotel just down the street from the mall, according to SLED and police records.
Aiken left jail Feb. 8 of that year on $75,000 bail, but what happened to the charges was not immediately known.
"Since then, he just got caught up in the wrong crowd," Grant said. "Somebody was mad at him."
Aiken had been trying to change his life, Grant said. He wanted to enroll at Trident Technical College and study computer technology.
"We had the same dream," Grant said. "We wanted to make video games."
As a helicopter buzzed over the mall, Grant surveyed the scene, perplexed about why someone would open fire at such a busy place during daylight hours.
"I guess he ran into somebody he was beefing with," Grant said. "The mall is probably the most common place for that."

Apple iPad Mini Review Roundup

The iPad mini is pretty impressive, but not easy on the pocket like most 7-inch tablets
The iPad's smaller sibling,
iPad mini
, was finally revealed last week in an effort to sneak Apple into the 7-inch tablet market -- and the reviews are in.
Here, we take a look at reviews by three tech news sites that were able to get their hands on a mini:
The Verge
The Specs
Before we dive into the reviews, lets take a peek at what the new mini is packing:
7.85-inch display
1024x768 resolution
Dual-core A5 processor
Lightning connector
5 MP rear-facing camera
1.2 MP front-facing camera
720p HD video
16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage options
10-hour battery life
Bluetooth 4.0
802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
4G LTE availability
The iPad mini starts at $329 for the 16GB version, $429 for the 32GB, and $529 for the 64GB. If you're looking to add 4G LTE to any of these, you can tack on another $130 to the price tag.
Those interested in buying a mini could pre-order starting last Friday. The Wi-Fi versions will ship November 2.
On to the Reviews!
The design of the iPad mini is likely the most popular topic, considering the main point of its existence is to offer a smaller, more mobile tablet. The mini is different from its larger iPad predecessors in that its back is made of anodized aluminum, and according to reviews, it looks and feels much different.
Joshua Topolsky of
The Verge
If the iPhone 5 is reminiscent of jewelry, the iPad mini is like a solidly made watch.
In fact, the iPhone 5 and the mini have a lot in common. They both share a metal housing (in silver or black) that's lean and smooth, with that reflective, chamfered edge that runs around the border of the display. The iPad mini's paint job is similar to the iPhone's, but smoother, and on the black version I tested has a glint of blue and purple to it in certain light. It looks dangerous, and it feels great.
Tim Stevens from
Apple wanted to be very clear at its product-packed iPad mini launch event that this isn't just a shrunken-down iPad. And, indeed, that starts with a very different case design. While the second, third and fourth generations of iPads have all been more or less indistinguishable, the iPad mini's anodized aluminum back looks entirely different. In fact, the whole thing looks a lot more like a blown-up fifth-generation iPod touch than a shrunken-down fourth-generation iPad.
However, Topolsky did mention that the wide form of the iPad mini feels kind of awkward in your hand (Stevens disagreed, saying it was quite comfortable to hold). Topolsky also didn't seem too keen on the fact that it only has 512MB of RAM and a "two-generations-old A5 CPU."
Stevens offered benchmark scores and performance figures:
Geekbench averages out at 751 and GLBench shows 24fps on the 2.5 Egypt HD benchmark. The SunSpider JavaScript benchmark completes in 1,426ms. These numbers pale in comparison to the new, fourth-gen iPad but we think that in day-to-day usage the relative lack of performance won't be as noticeable. Apps do load more slowly but most are still up and running within a second or two and when it comes to general web surfing tasks the iPad mini easily kept up with our taps and swipes. So, perhaps not the greatest performance in the Apple lineup.
The iPad mini isn't sporting the Retina display, but it didn't seem to bother reviewers. However, there were mentions of issues like the visibility of pixels.
Well for starters, it's a really good looking display in general terms. Apple is using the same treatment here as it does on the iPhone 5 and iPad, and it makes for a crystal-clear screen that seems to hover just a tiny bit beneath glass. Colors are vibrant and blacks are deep, and games, photos, and video look terrific. That's only half the story, however. There's no question that to the naked eye this screen does look lower in resolution than its nearest competition. Pixels are noticeable, especially in webpages, books, and when viewing email — and that can be distracting sometimes. Since Apple is the company that's gotten our eyes used to the hey-look-no-pixels trick of the Retina display, it's hard to take a step back and not notice.
No, this isn't Retina, but maintaining the same resolution as a 10-inch display shrunken down to 7.9 means a necessary boost in pixel density: 163ppi. That's a nice increase over the iPad 2's 132ppi, but it still falls short of the 264ppi of the fourth-generation iPad -- not to mention, the iPhone 5's 326dpi. Naturally, this means that text isn't anywhere near as sharp as on the newer iPads, but this is still a very nice-looking display.
As for the camera, Stevens notes that the iPad mini's is better than the iPad 2, but not better than the iPhone 5. Topolsky added that the iPad mini offers a better image than most newer smartphones:
As you may know, I'm not a fan of people taking photos with tablets. Just as with previous models I've tested, I find the act to be not only awkward, but embarrassing as well. The slightly more diminutive size of the iPad mini does make the experience slightly better, and its 5 megapixel backside camera is actually not terrible for general shots. In fact, its color tone and low light performance was better than what I've seen on many newer smartphones. It was sometimes difficult to get a clean image due to shakiness, but that has more to do with the odd physicality of taking a photo with a tablet than it does with the actual camera.
The reviewers agreed that the battery life is very competitive with other 7-inch tablets, and that the software is basically the same as a regular 9.7-inch iPad...just smaller. A few changes were made, however, such as the ability to reject unwanted touches near the sides of the screen, which helps keep your thumbs from making accidental touches in apps.
The verdict?
This isn't just an Apple tablet made to a budget. This isn't just a shrunken-down iPad. This is, in many ways, Apple's best tablet yet, an incredibly thin, remarkably light, obviously well-constructed device that offers phenomenal battery life. No, the performance doesn't match Apple's latest and yes, that display is a little lacking in resolution, but nothing else here will leave you wanting. At $329, this has a lot to offer over even Apple's more expensive tablets.
The iPad mini is an excellent tablet — but it's not a very cheap one. Whether that's by design, or due to market forces beyond Apple's control, I can't say for sure. I can't think of another company that cares as much about how its products are designed and built — or one that knows how to maximize a supply chain as skillfully — so something tells me it's no accident that this tablet isn't selling for $200. It doesn't feel like Apple is racing to some lowest-price bottom — rather it seems to be trying to raise the floor.

My prediction
I know you guys won't care but I did predict stuff like tablets and OnLive (predicted this in my teens and 40 years old now, though I know there are people before me). When I predicted OnLive, it was more into the future than "now". In the future, the internet should be fast enough to stream live video with minimum latency from a videogame controller or mouse/keyboard or whatever you want to use. In the future, there should be super computers all over the planet that can do things a desktop cannot do and stream it to you. People will build these supercomputers and people will pay for these streaming services. Why spend millions of dollars for something when someone else can and you pay a smaller amount per month to render these services? Not to mention that companies like Sony has the right idea. Make a smartphone with a touch screen AND slide out game controller. It's absolute genius. Sony just doesn't have the tech to make it good enough to conquer the world, yet. As for touch screen operating systems, Apple showed that if you make it pretty, people will love it. But people are getting bored with icons and tiles. We're going to need something a lot more fancier and a lot more innovative. I'm sure all these corporations already know this. They are just milking as much money as they can. Why put out the "best" when you can make millions (billions?) off something less? Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood or other movie industries from other countries already showed the world a better OS as in the GUI? Anyways, I love the competition and I "know" it can only lead to better things. Right now I am leading towards Windows 8 simply because of the increase in FPS in videogames. But at the same time, the metro apps load slow. But as a gamer, I probably wouldn't use the metro apps that much. BTW, what do you call metro apps if we can't use the word "metro" anymore? lol...

Gingerbread Houses and Beyond: Christmas Candy and Cookie Construction Projects
If you can bake cookies, then you can make a gingerbread house.
Seriously, ditch the freaky store-bought gingerbread house kit this year, with that thick cardboard-textured gingerbread and the whopping five pieces of candy that it comes with.
As you'll see in the projects below, baking a gingerbread house is as simple as baking cut-out cookies, and much more fun to decorate than a store-bought kit.

Exactly 35 years ago this week, West Virginia suffered the largest construction accident in American history when 51 lives were lost in a scaffolding collapse at the Willow Island power plant north of Parkersburg.
The loss of these fathers, sons and brothers is compounded by the fact it was a totally preventable tragedy caused by unsafe working conditions. These men should still be celebrating anniversaries with their wives and birthdays with their families. Instead their families gather to mourn 35 years passing without them.
"Workers' Memorial Day" in West Virginia takes place on April 28. This year the ceremony was held in the shadows of the Willow Island memorial to commemorate the tragedy. A bell tolled 51 times for the Willow Island workers, then rang out 22 more times to remember the West Virginians who lost their lives on the job last year.
Sadly, "Workers' Memorial Day" is an annual event due to all the work-related deaths that occur every single year in our state. In the past five years 254 workplace fatalities have occurred in West Virginia, and the majority of those deaths were preventable.
While that astounding figure is totally unacceptable, even one death is too many. It's time West Virginia starts taking effective measures to prevent the tragic and needless loss of workers' lives.
Real action, in the form of workplace safety legislation, needs to be taken before another Workers' Memorial Day comes to pass. Just this past month, a handful of legislators were able to vote down a simple bill intended to require a 10-hour safety training program for construction workers on certain public works projects. Del. Larry Faircloth, Del. Michael Folk and Del. Larry Kump (all R-Berkeley) were three of those politicians.
Politicians need to be held accountable for their actions to block meaningful safety measures. You can do your part to make safety a priority by making sure you only vote for elected officials who act rather than talk.
We don't want to listen to the mournful bells tolling for yet more workers' lives needlessly lost.

BEAVER SPRINGS - Doris A. "Dot" Trego, 73, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012, at her home.

Kibera is a roughly 250 km2 squatter settlement about 7 km from downtown Nairobi. The population is about 450 000 people, and the population density is 180 000 per km2. The houses are made of temporary materials. The area is poorly served with basic infrastructure. The residents are mainly tenants of very low socio-economic status. The main objectives of this study was to propose practical alternatives to improve sanitation in Kibera. The study involved carrying out interviews among the residents. The aim of the field survey was to identify the needs of the residents and to find out their ability and willingness to pay for basic urban services. Posssibilities of community participation and management were looked into. Population density was estimated using field methods. The results show that the residents havet he willingness and ability to pay for basic services provided at a level that they can afford. The scope for community participation is wide in Kibera. Roles of various possible participants in a Kibera sanitation upgradingprogramme were studied. This includes the government, Nairobi City Comission (NCC), National Housing Corporation (NHC), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), external funding agencies (ESAs), local politicians and Kibera tenants and landlords. The roles of all these parties are very important and success of any upgrading programme will depend on the level of cooperation between them. An Informal Settlemants Department is proposed within NCC to oversee developments in informal settlements. Stormwater drainage should be either open unlined earth drains lined earthdrains. Sullage disposal should be arranged either with excreta or with stormwater disposal. Solid waste management could be either provision of partially or fully community based. These alternatives were analysed and costs were estimated. The choice will depend on further analysis and preparation of bills of quantities. Community participation should be an integral part of the project while total cost recovery in the long term is recommended. The project is adduced to be considered financially viable. The government has to facilitate the provision of infrastructure in Kibera. /Kir11

If his smile is any indication, Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein's 3-year-old son William is happily settling in to his new life.
Arnold and Klein, a.k.a. TLC's The Little Couple, adopted the boy (who, like his parents, has a form of dwarfism) from China and have marveled at his sweet personality.
William Rijin Klein is "a really happy guy and has transitioned better than any of us expected," Arnold told the New York Post Tuesday. Added Bill, "He's got a way with people."
On the new season of The Little Couple, Klein talked about feeling a connection with her son before they even met in person.
"The moment I saw him, I knew that I wanted [him]," she said. "I could just envision myself taking him home and having him running around the living room and him being part of our family."
Arnold and Klein struggled for years to have a child of their own before deciding upon adoption.
The new season of their show premieres April 30 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

Banfi Col di Sasso
Sku: 1037679
3 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
Col di Sasso, which translates to "Stony Hill," is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes cultivated on the most rocky and impervious slopes of the Banfi estate in Montalcino, Tuscany.
Typically harvested in early October, each grape variety is vinified separately. The Sangiovese imparts body, while stainless steel aged Cabernet Sauvignon adds fruit and structure.
Col di Sasso is a youthful red to be enjoyed with grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or as an ideal accompaniment to pasta with meat sauce and mildly piquant cheeses.

In 1954, the United States officially designated Nov. 11 as Veterans Day, a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
Veterans Day has special resonance in West Virginia, a state that was born out of the conflict that became the Civil War. Ever since the bloody war between the states, West Virginia has sent more than its share of residents off to fight for the U.S. in conflicts around the world. Many of those service men and women have come from this region, and their sacrifice has been great.
West Virginia had the highest death rate of any state during the Vietnam War, with an average of 84 out of every 100,000 males in the state dying in the conflict, according to the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation. The national average was 59 males out of every 100,000.
An estimated 40,000 to 46,000 West Virginians fought in the Civil War, with about 20,000 to 36,000 on the Union side, and about 10,000 to 20,000 fighting for the Confederacy, according to the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.
Records show that 58,053 West Virginians fought in World War I, and 233,985 Mountain State residents served in World War II. In the Korean Conflict, 112,000 West Virginians served, while 36,578 fought during the Vietnam era. About 12,000 West Virginians served in the Gulf War from 1990-1991 (all figures courtesy of the state Division of Culture and History).
With so much history and such a tradition of military service in West Virginia, we encourage all local residents to take part in Veterans Day events, such as the ceremony scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday at the All Veterans Monument at the corner of Harrison Avenue and All Veterans Drive in Elkins.
Veterans are living, breathing heroes, and we thank and salute them for their sacrifice and service.

When "American Idiot" rolls into town at the Merriam Theatre in Philadelphia Feb. 12 through 17, expect to see a lot of people in the audience from Woodstown.
One word.
That's who 2007 Woodstown High School graduate Alyssa DiPalma plays in the tour of Green Day's hit Broadway musical.
"All of my friends from my hometown will be there. It should be a lot of fun," she said.
"American Idiot" is a show DiPalma "totally fell in love with" when she saw it for the first time in New York City a few short years ago.
"I jumped at the chance to audition. It was really exciting," said DiPalma, a graduate of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, adding that it was the role of Whatsername — a girl the main character Johnny meets in the city — that really got her attention.
"I said, "I've got to play that role,'" DiPalma said. "She's a strong woman."
"American Idiot" tells the story of three boyhood friends who are searching for meaning in a post-Sept. 11 world.
"They're kind of upset with their lives in suburbia," DiPalma said. "So they decide to leave and go to the city to have a new adventure."
A single-act, completely sung-through musical, "American Idiot" features hit songs from Green Day, including "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday," and of course, "American Idiot."

Only about one out of 10 Buffalo elementary school students returned the summer packets of worksheets they were asked to complete, district officials said Wednesday.
The district canceled summer school this year for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, largely in an effort to save the $4.1 million that the four-week program would have cost.
Instead of offering summer school classes this year, the district sent home 70-page packets of worksheets to nearly 18,000 students.
School Board members were clearly disappointed by the fact that only 1,938 students returned their packets.
�My goodness. That�s not very many,� said Rosalyn L. Taylor, who represents the East District.
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown was more positive about the situation.
�Let�s not be too discouraged about the percentage of packets that were returned,� she said. �The fact that the packets were sent home with students provided parents with the opportunity to know what kinds of activities would be beneficial over the summer. We believe many more packets were actually used than the number that were returned.�
Kai D. Lewis, an administrator who oversaw summer school, said the district extended the deadline by nearly a week in the hopes that more students would return the packets, which cost about $40,000 to produce.
Lewis said administrators sent out robocalls to parents and posted notices on school websites to remind them to return the packets.
The district offered incentives to students who returned their packets but did not announce what those incentives would be until after students would have completed the packets. Students who returned their packets got pencils, bookmarks and erasers, and were entered in a drawing. One e-reader tablet was given away in each school, and two students will receive laptops at next week�s board meeting.
Many parents said they did not understand why the packets were sent home and complained about the quality of the packets.
Board members agreed that they want the district to reinstitute summer school in 2013.
�Given the money that was spent and the results we got, we need to have summer school,� said board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak.
The district in recent years has funded summer school through its Title I funds, which are federal anti-poverty funds. In the district�s proposed Title I budget for 2012-13, $354,576 was earmarked for summer school � less than one-tenth the amount the district spent in many recent years.
Brown said in an interview that the district is trying to identify additional funds elsewhere in the budget for summer school.
She said administrators have begun planning the summer school program for 2013 but said it�s too early to know exactly what the program will consist of or how many students it will serve. Plans should be finalized in March, she said.
�We want to take enough time to plan it out well,� she said. �We want to provide opportunities for as many students as possible to engage in credit recovery or just have an extended learning opportunity over the summer.�
The district did offer summer school for students in seventh through 12th grade this summer.
Here�s a summary of the results:
� Eighty-six percent of the seventh- and eighth-graders who attended the half-day summer school � 1,034 students � were promoted.
� Fifty-five percent of the seventh- and eighth-graders who attended the full-day summer school program � 259 students � were promoted. Those are students who had failed multiple courses the previous year.
� Of the 2,740 high school students who took Regents exams this summer, 32 percent passed.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have developed a transgenic mouse that carries a human gene known to increase risk of Alzheimer's 15-fold. This new mouse model is a cross between an existing transgenic Alzheimer's mouse and a mouse carrying the full length copy of human apoE4. Earlier work has identified apoE4, as the greatest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's in the human population. The new mouse model mimics the genetics of the human disease more closely than any of the dozen existing mouse models and may prove more useful in the development of candidate drugs to prevent or treat the disease. The original report will be published in the December issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
UIC biochemist Mary Jo LaDu, Ph.D., says amyloid-beta, a peptide or small protein, is known to underlie the disease and is a key component of the plaques observed in the brains of deceased Alzheimer's patients at autopsy. But in addition to clumping to form those large, visible plaques, the sticky molecule is also found in smaller, soluble aggregates called oligomers—which may be the actual culprit.
"Though for a long time it was thought that amyloid plaques might cause the nerve death seen in Alzheimer's, researchers now believe that the neurotoxicity may lie in the smaller, soluble, oligomeric forms," said Dr. LaDu, associate professor of anatomy and cell biology at the UIC College of Medicine and principal investigator of the study.
There is one last hurdle: "There are few methods for detecting the different aggregate forms of amyloid-beta," said Leon Tai, the research assistant professor working with LaDu. "The team developed a highly specific monoclonal antibody, which enabled us to assay only the specific oligomeric form of amyloid-beta we're interested in."
Continued Dr LaDu, "This new monoclonal antibody, along with the new mouse model, allowed us to identify the earliest accumulations of amyloid-beta and the differences related to the different forms of apoE."
The results were definitive: transgenic mice with apoE4 show an increase in the oligomeric form of amyloid-beta compared to mice carrying the other, more benign versions of apoE, providing a mechanism for apoE-induced Alzheimer's risk. Thus, it would appear that previous transgenic mice lacking this interaction were poor models.
Further, the work suggests that if oligomeric amyloid-beta is the cause of the disease, then it is also the earliest disease marker. Thus, the new model could offer a clearer picture of therapeutic effects on the cause of the disease not possible with the methods and models currently available.
"More than just an Alzheimer's risk factor, patients with apoE4 often respond differently to therapeutics in clinical trials, in many cases negatively," said Dr. Tai. "However, preclinical compound testing in transgenic mouse models that express human apoE has not been possible until now."
"A preclinical model for testing these compounds has been badly needed, so we don't find ourselves in clinical trials with therapeutics that fail," said Dr. LaDu. "We are actively working to test and develop novel compounds that we believe will benefit all Alzheimer's patients."
The researchers at UIC have begun collaborations with other researchers at UIC and worldwide to focus on drug discovery.

Becoming a grandmother in the fall could influence Hillary Clinton's decision-making – and not just which carseat to buy (though there's that, too).
After stepping down as Secretary of State in 2013 and enjoying her first free time in a long time, Clinton is now pondering another run for the White House.
"I know I have a decision to make," she recently told PEOPLE in her first at-home interview since the end of husband Bill's presidency in January 2001. "But part of what I've been thinking about, is everything I'm interested in and everything I enjoy doing – and with the extra added joy of 'I'm about to become a grandmother,' I want to live in the moment. At the same time I am concerned about what I see happening in the country and in the world."
Before Clinton left public life after more than two decades, she fantasized out loud about finally getting to sleep in.
How'd that go? "Oh, my gosh. I slept in to probably 8 o'clock," she said with a chuckle. "That's good, huh?"
Clinton provided a glimpse into her life as a private citizen these past 16 months, even dishing on organizing her closets and binge-watching TV.
"Oh, that was good, too," she said, describing a little self-consciously how she and her husband Bill "totally binge-watched" the first season of House of Cards. Part of the appeal, she explained, was "a little bit of the, 'Oh, my gosh, I can't believe we can just sit here and do this' and 'We're only going to watch one episode, oh, let's watch another. Okay, well, we have time, we're not going anywhere, let's watch a third.' I know that sounds kind of devoid of content."
But, she adds, "It wasn't like I was just lying around trying to catch up on 20 years of lost sleep."
With her name (and daughter Chelsea's) now alongside Bill's on the Clinton Foundation, Hillary has been pursuing meaty projects to stop elephant poaching in Africa (and the illegal ivory trade that funds terror groups), improve the global status of women and girls and promote education.
"I'm just too active and involved," she said. "But what I've loved is having my own schedule."
So don't count on the once – and maybe again – presidential candidate to lie around in front of Orange Is the New Black. With her state department memoir Hard Choices launching a nationwide book tour on June 10, Clinton will be back in overdrive.
For much more on Clinton's thinking about the next presidential race, becoming a grandmother, her relationship with Bill and her own health after her 2012 concussion and blood clot, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

A Canadian company has petitioned both the U.S. and Canadian federal regulatory authorities to permit the sale of a new, genetically engineered apple variety called Arctic® Apple that is highly resistant to the browning that occurs when an apple is cut or bruised. Because the shutoff of four genes that cause browning was done with recombinant DNA technology, there have been objections and consternation. Some apple growers are worried that this new variety could constitute a threat to other apple crops, and the U.S. Apple Association is against the Arctic Apple on the grounds that "consumers like their apples and are not calling for these new 'nonbrowning' cultivars."
