Wikileaks appears to be alive and kicking despite its founder's legal
issues. On Sunday the site authorized the publication of scores of
new details about America's antiterrorism campaign, including some that cast
America's actions in a questionable light.
The leaks are the latest development in Wikileaks' pro-transparency information
attacks on the U.S. government.
I. What Leak?
The latest leaks appear to come from even more confidential documents
downloaded off of Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), the
network that supports the information needs of the military and intelligence
Imprisoned U.S. Army private, Specialist Bradley Manning, is accused of
downloading the documents and disguising
them on CDs. Mr. Manning is accused of slowly passing the information
off to Wikileaks.
It is
unclear how long ago Wikileaks passed the documents off to the
news organizations. Typically documents like these require a fair amount
of lead-time in order to make even the most basic of comprehensive analyses.
Wikileaks has struggled
financially of late, so has turned largely to volunteer efforts to
support its operations and hosting. Thus it is of interest whether or not
it is still actively participating in leaks or simply pulling the trigger on
already released documents -- unfortunately the media outlets give little
indication what the situation might be.
This time around Wikileaks passed the documents off to
America's National Public Radio (NPR) and The Washington Post.
The organization is selective in only handing the desirable leak
information to news outlets it considers sympathetic to its cause.
The New York Times and Britain's Guardian, both of whom
formerly received leaks, did not receive this round of leaks.
Reportedly, Wikileaks is upset at these publications for
covering the pending ostensibly unrelated sex crimes allegations against Wikileaks founder
and chief Julian Assange.
These newspapers still managed to obtain the documents from "another
II. What's in the Documents?
If anything this is one of Wikileaks meatier releases. Unfortunately for
the site, in the U.S. public interest in the story has waned amidst rounds of
unremarkable leaked
war memos from soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The new documents reveal details about America's anti-terrorism efforts in the
U.S. and abroad. Unlike some past releases, certain details revealed here
seem to clearly indicate the U.S. in wrongdoing.
Many of the released details cover America's prison in Cuba, Guantánamo
The New York Times reports that Mohammed Qahtani, a Saudi
dubbed the "20th hijacker" by government officials, was subjected to
inhumane torture. Allegedly a member of Al Qaeda who hoped to participate
in the 9-11 Bombing, Mr. Qahtani was leashed like a dog, sexually humiliated,
and forced to urinate on himself.
The documents also reveal that some of the 759 detainees appear to be unjustly
imprisoned. Examples of detainees that proved completely harmless were a
14-year-old boy who was kidnapped, and an 89-year-old Afghan village elder who
was suffering from senile dementia. Reportedly both individuals were held
captive against their will for long periods.
On the other hand the documents also reveal that many of the prisoners were
obviously violently opposed to the U.S. and appear to be true
"terrorists". Inmates regularly received citations for
"inappropriate use of bodily fluids", which translated, in most cases
to urinating on, or throwing feces at guards.
The detainees in their interrogations were "mostly compliant and rarely
hostile to guard force and staff", but some became violent towards them.
One individual said "he would like to tell his friends in Iraq to
find the interrogator, slice him up, and make a shwarma (a type of sandwich)
out of him, with the interrogator's head sticking out of the end of the
Another "threatened to kill a U.S. service member by chopping off his head
and hands when he gets out," and informed a guard "he will murder him
and drink his blood for lunch. Detainee also stated he would fly planes into
houses and prayed that President Bush would die."
Clearly the U.S. officials were dealing with a tough situation.
Further complicating the picture is the fact that some of the government's more
extreme interrogations -- much criticized -- did yield a wealth of useful
NPR reports, "Abu Zubaydah and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the
Guantanamo detainees who were famously waterboarded while in CIA detention, are
cited as providing interrogators with information about hundreds of other
Guantanamo detainees."
And while the torture-obtained information proved largely accurate, gentler
efforts to get inmates to inform for incentives seemed to lead inaccurate
tales. According to NPR, "One detainee from Yemen, a convicted drug
dealer who later affiliated with al Qaida, informed on so many of his fellow
detainees at Guantanamo that authorities there decided the reliability of his
information was 'in question.'"
III. Big Picture
There's plenty to take home from the latest release. The most important
thing, perhaps, is that Wikileaks is still around and still appears
to be focusing the brunt of its scrutiny on the U.S. government (95+ percent of
the site's documents are from the U.S.).
The release also renews the debate about whether Wikileaks is
"whistleblowing". Unlike some past releases like the State
Department cables release, the information revealed this time around seems
to offer legitimately compelling evidence that the U.S. was doing something
wrong. In that regard it seems like it could qualify under the premise of
"whistleblowing" -- more so than past releases, at least.
Despite the fact that U.S. government rules provide certain protections for
"whistleblowers" in the military, it seems unlikely that the concerns
in the recent document will change Mr. Manning's legal plight given the more
questionable nature of some of the previous releases and how Mr. Manning
allegedly chose to release the information (to foreign nationals, rather than
scrupulous U.S. news outlets like The New York Times).
The leaks offer a mixed picture of America's infamous Cuban prison. Today
only 172 prisoners remain at Guantánamo. In total, 759 prisoners
were covered in the leaked records -- 75 were not. Of those estimated 834
individuals who entered the compound most appear to have been at least a mild
threat to U.S. security, and many U.S. interrogation tactics appeared to have
On the other hand, the U.S. may have stepped over the line in some cases and
some people may have been wrongly imprisoned.
Clearly this was a high-pressure situation for the U.S. and at the end of the
day the results were mixed -- the government did not perform
There's a wealth of details that are outside the scope of this summary that are
contained in various reports -- everything from a former detainee now assisting
the U.S. as a leader of the resistance in Libya to the locations of suspected
Al Qaeda officials before 9/11 and at the present date.

1. The Washington Post -- "WikiLeaks

2. The New York Times -- "Classified Files

3. NPR -- "Military Documents Detail
Life At Guantanamo"
4. Guardian UK -- "Guantánamo
leaks lift lid on world's most controversial prison"
The following legal blog also provides lots of links and a nice summary on the
The CenterLine -- "Hundreds of Guantanamo
Documents Leaked"
The U.S. government has condemned the release. Ambassador Daniel Fried,
the Obama administration's special envoy on detainee issues, and Pentagon press
secretary Geoff Morrell write, "Both administrations have made the
protection of American citizens the top priority and we are concerned that the
disclosure of these documents could be damaging to those efforts."
quote: As for this news article I welcome the leaks. Why the hell does the most overpowered military in the world need to keep secrets like we do?
quote: This is a free country. Let's keep it that way.
quote: like we do
quote: I understand it to the extent that we don't say when and whom we will attack at specific dates, but why would we want to work under a shroud of secrecy all the freaking time ? I mean if we are doing the right things what does it matter? The amount of secrecy is unnerving to me.
quote: Knowledge is power, secrets are necessary. Also, duh, lives can be at risk when you start telling secrets.
quote: Take Iraq for example. Would you rather the US gov't would've divulged their alleged intelligence that indicated that we should invade Iraq.
quote: I don't like those who do fight for our freedoms sent off to die based on false information.
quote: Since you think this is all as simple as "secrets=good" then I suggest you go back to kindergarten to figure out that things are more complex then that.
quote: I believe that secrets (not just in the military) are a necessary evil but that they should be kept to a minimum, just like the gov't itself.
quote: Great example. For MY argument. It's obvious now that the real reason for Iraq was that we had proof Saddam had terrorist ties, but we obviously couldn't reveal that to the public because it would have BETRAYED OUR SOURCES and/or put intelligence assets at risk. So enter "WMD's".
quote: Again, so naive. Yeah sorry but we don't send people off to "die" based on what MSNBC or CNN reports. The people going in know the real operational details that we aren't exactly privy to.
quote: But like it or not, we the voters, have determined that the government and the military should decide what's secret and how much of it gets declassified. So if not they, who should be the decider of these things? Joe Shmoe Six Pack?
quote: And I think you're still stuck in kindergarden. Your arguments are no more compelling than "secrets=bad. war=bad. death=always bad no matter what". This just offensive, you view the world through the eyes of a child and then have the nerve to address me like this?
quote: See like most Liberals, it's easy for you to stand up here and rabble rouse about how terrible it all is. But I notice you haven't offered one damn solution or opinion about how things are going to work your way as apposed to now. Would you dissolve the Congressional Intelligence Committee? You know, those people we VOTED IN as our Representatives to decide these things for us? Would you make the Military private sector? Exactly what would you like to see changed?Saying things "should be", well, you guys are good at that. It's easy. But it doesn't make one damn thing happen.
quote: I don't remember a vote passing to go to war in Libya...and I don't remember a vote passing to go to war in Iraq BASED ON ACCURATE INFORMATION. Oh and by the way what is congress' aproval rating right now anyway? lol
quote: Why the hell does the most overpowered military in the world need to keep secrets like we do?
quote: Anarchy is simply the absence of traditional government and far less atrocities have occurred under absence of government than by the presence of government.
quote: Wikileaks is supposed to be crusading for justice, but they're disproportionately picking on the US
quote: that's the point alot of people seem to miss. It's not that wikileaks is focused on the US, it's that we have more secret documents than anyone else. We are the biggest fattest buffalo out there, and thus the easiest to hit.
quote: Furthermore, Assange withholds the info from news outlets who refuse to stifle the story of his pervert accusations? Talk about transparency...I can see right through his righteous facade and see the egotism and anarchy-mongering.
quote: He seems to like the Founding Fathers of the US so I would think that he agrees with some form of law.
quote: Governments
quote: The Founding Fathers wouldn't think too highly of his methods. Maybe his motives, but certainly not his methods.
quote: I know a little bit about you R77 to know that you don't exactly believe that the Founding Fathers are looking down on our great nation with smiles right now.
quote: He takes info that people volunteer to him and publishes it.
quote: The Obama administration has passed and executed the broadest expansion of Government powers and intrusion into our daily lives and freedoms that at any point ever.
quote: I think you're outrage is sadly misplaced. But by all means, keep harping on what we do abroad while the country you know is being eroded from within out from under your own feet...

Due to budget cuts, the city police force recently was cut. Currently, the city employs 47 officers - two less than the number allotted by the city's new budget.
However, even in light of the recent homicide, authorities maintain that the police force is adequately staffed and that public safety still is the No. 1 priority for Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and his administration.
"Traditionally, these types of crimes are not random shootings. The actors are not law-abiding citizens," Campana said, before adding that may or may not be the case with this victim.
"This is certainly not a time for the public to panic. The city is safer now than it was five years ago," he added.
Officers worked through the night, interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence.
However, the investigation still is in its beginning stages.
"At this time, I do not feel comfortable discussing motive with the press. We're just not that far along in the investigation yet. We have numerous leads to follow up on," said city police Cpt. Timothy Miller.
"I have guys on the force who still haven't gone home, who were called back in last night after the shooting and are still working," he added.
The mayor echoed Miller's sentiment and praised the bureau's dedication.
"We have individuals on this force who are willing to work harder and longer and stay (at) it through the night rather than go home to their families," Campana said.
"We also have very talented people in charge of the force. There is no one I would rather trust the safety of this city to," he added.
But, Campana also said he stands by his decision to cut the number of police officers on the force.
"I don't believe we're low on officers. We can't have an officer on every corner of the city; it's not fiscally realistic," Campana said.
"I have never heard an officer complain that the force is understaffed. We will be a smaller, stronger police force and work more efficiently," he added.
This stands in direct contrast to another statement made by Campana in July, when discussing the struggles police face and the importance of solving the city's seven outstanding cold cases.
"I believe our police force is understaffed. I added one officer when I came into office, and we're hoping to add two more. That would bring our total to 54," Campana said.
"If you speak to most people in law enforcement, they will tell you they need more manpower. That's why I've been advocating adding more police officers," he added.
The federal grant for more officers was not received.

Pest control products with the active ingredient Imidacloprid are systemic, which means the insecticide is applied to a host plant, soil or seed. Plant life that is being infested and damaged by insect activity absorbs and then subsequently moves the insecticide internally, through its vascular system. Target insects then ingest the insecticide while feeding on the host plant. Imidacloprid is within a class of particular chemicals identified as neonicotinoids, which function by acting on and disrupting normal activity in the pests central nervous system.
Imidacloprid is popular for crop pest control, and is commonly used in rice, potato, vegetable and cotton crops. In agricultural applications, it is typically used as a soil treatment or a seed treatment, and is considered particularly systemic in these applications. For home use, this active ingredient can be used to control insects in lawns, as well as for fleas, termite control and ant control. Sucking insects such as thrips, aphids and whiteflies are also commonly treated with Imidacloprid, as they feed on plants in large numbers and systemic insecticides are widely considered the most effective means of treatment.
As part of an integrated pest management program, Imidacloprid can be used to control multiple pests on your property. Several forms of pest control products, such as granules, concentrates and gel baits are available, dependent on the application needed. Read and adhere to specific application and label guidelines, as recommendations will changed dependent upon the type of pest that is being treated, as well as surrounding environments. Ensure proper exclusion best practices are followed as well, to avoid any indoor infestations by outdoor pests, driven out of their normal environments.

HAVANA – Early in January, a group of two dozen Western New Yorkers took a trip back in time – to about 1960.
And they did so without benefit of a time machine. Instead, the 24 members of a Jewish Federation mission hopped on board the way-way-back machine by flying into Cuba.
Cuba – an island nation that seems to be stuck in the early 1960s, about the time when almost everyone there with any money or assets fled following Fidel Castro's rise to power on Jan. 1, 1959.
That's when the clock struck midnight in Cuba. And that's why the signature visual image of Havana remains its American cars from the 1940s and 1950s. The Havana airport parking lots, dominated by Ford Fairlanes and Chevy Impalas, by Buicks and Studebakers, look more like the back-lot set for a movie being filmed from that era.
That half-century time lag was the key impression taken away by the two dozen visitors who spent five days in Cuba, arriving in Havana from Miami. They were on a mission beyond tourism and carried some basic supplies lacking in Cuba, including medicine, soap, reading glasses, crayons, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
All of us, especially those who had never visited a third-world or Communist country, were awestruck by the poverty that greeted our eyes as we toured virtually every section of Havana and its outskirts, viewing it all from our comfortable bus.
"It's worse than Soweto," one veteran traveler remarked.
Our Cuban-government tour guide proudly pointed out all the mansions and gorgeous homes that dot the lush Havana skyline along the Atlantic Ocean. Many of those, he repeatedly told us, are being "restored." But in five days, we saw only one or two buildings where any restoration was going on; in fact, the absence of construction cranes was even more evident than it used to be in Buffalo, before all the waterfront and Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus construction.
In the last day or two of our trip, many of us resorted to dark humor whenever we saw yet another building with a crumbling facade: It's being "restored," we would quip.
We also were awed by the strength and resiliency of Cuba's small Jewish community, aided by the U.S.-based Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Cuba has only about 1,500 Jews out of a population of 11 million, but the Patronato community center and synagogue in Havana provides the old-fashioned definition of community, played out in a land of limited opportunities.
The signs of poverty and the half-century time lag are almost everywhere in Havana:
• Many houses sport clotheslines of laundry hanging out to dry. The reason: Many Havana residents took apart their clothes dryers and are using the motors for cooling fans to bat away the tropical heat.
• There were almost no fast-food restaurants, convenience stores or shops, a far cry from what you would see in any American or European city. There are gas stations and some small markets, with bottled water for sale, but not much else.
Billboards are fairly abundant in Havana, but they don't "advertise" anything, other than the glories of the 54-year-old Cuban Revolution. That is said to be changing, though, as capitalism slowly creeps back into Cuba.
• Traffic is very light for such a huge city. The average citizen can't afford to buy a car, and those who can still need government authorization to purchase a vehicle. Recent statistics cite 36 cars for every 1,000 Cubans, meaning that fewer than 4 percent of the residents have cars.
That doesn't mean there isn't a huge underground market for used cars. On Avenido Prado, a street modeled after Barcelona's Las Ramblas, one second-floor resident hung a small sheet with the message "Vendo Mi Auto" (I'm selling my car).
• Despite the lack of cars, public transportation is poor. We were told that people can wait two to four hours for a bus; that means that transportation becomes a huge issue for any institution. For example, Patronato, the large synagogue and Jewish community center, uses its own vans to bring its members to synagogue.
• A large percentage, maybe 70 percent of Cubans, "own" their own homes. But they don't have the money to maintain them. So Havana today is the scene of many once-stately houses now plagued by crumbling concrete, chipped facades, exposed and rusting iron and missing or cracked windows.
That's a sad sight, one tempered by the vision of what Havana could be if government restrictions and the long-standing U.S. trade embargo ever were lifted.
• Cuba has a dual-currency economy, using both Cuban pesos and convertible pesos, known as CUCs. Workers, we learned, are paid in Cuban pesos, making the equivalent of about 20 to 25 CUCs per month; that's slightly more than $25. But almost everyone makes that amount. Taxi drivers make the same as doctors – but a cabbie can make more money because of tips. That's why one of us, taking a cab one day, had a driver who had switched careers – from being an engineer.
The average Cuban worker, though, has access only to these Cubans pesos, which cannot be used in many locations. One member of our group bought some bottled water in a food store he described as a mini-Tops, but only people with CUCs can shop there.
And while capitalism slowly rears its head in Cuba, in the form of "paladars," or private restaurants located in people's homes, the average Cuban worker has no access to such luxuries. Paladars are frequented by tourists, mission members, expatriates or the few Cubans who have access to CUCs; a dinner there may cost 35 to 40 CUCs.
• Cubans get a regular ration of beans and rice, a little chicken and other staples. One of the saddest stories we heard came out of a Friday night Shabbat (sabbath) dinner we enjoyed at Patronato.
Local members of the Jewish community, sitting at long tables with 40 or 50 people per table, enjoyed a decent no-frills meal of a piece of grilled chicken breast, a small raw-vegetable salad, some saffron rice and canned pears. The sad part? We were told that for many Cubans, that was their best and most nutritious meal of the week.
Even foreign workers, including those at the U.S. Interests Section (the substitute for an embassy) who earn CUCs, encounter regular shortages of such items as cheese, detergent, apples, cereal and eggs.
The average Cuban, we were told, hasn't come close to moving into the 21st century. Those with TVs normally get only three stations; any Internet access comes through dial-up; you don't see people using cellphones; and young people don't have access to video games.
On the other hand, Cubans are quick to point out, they have universal health care, low illiteracy, little racial or ethnic discrimination, and access to good secondary and higher education. On the recent five-day visit, there was no evidence to rebut Cubans' claims of having a low crime rate.
And, it must be noted, we were only tourists, most with few or no Spanish skills and with little access to the opinions of the average Cuban resident, no matter how much we learned from our tour guide, our eyes and our shared observations.
One such observation came from a physician in our group, trying to explain why our group members were almost all over 50. For us baby-boomers, Cuba was a crucial hot spot, with the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the threat of a Communist nation sitting just 93 miles south of Florida during the tense Cold War.
To younger generations, Cuba remains almost irrelevant, nothing but a page from recent U.S. history.
There were many breathtaking, poignant and memorable moments from our trip:
• The visit to a Jewish cemetery, with its memorial to the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. The inscription, in Spanish, is haunting, claiming that the site contains bars of soap made from the fat of some Jews who perished in the Holocaust.
"Let us say Kaddish [the Jewish mourners' prayer] for those who have no one to say it for them," said Michael Wise, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Buffalo.
• A professional baseball game, between the Havana Industriales and Pinar del Rio. Roughly 25,000 people inside Estadio Latinos Americanos cheered wildly, against a backdrop that sounded similar to the annoying vuvuzela-horn din echoing through a South American soccer game.
Each time Havana scored, during a slickly played 3-0 win, its dugout emptied, for an impromptu reception line. Also noteworthy was the lower-minor-league feel of the game. There were no scorecards, no players' names on the uniforms, and the antique scoreboard showed no photos or names of any players.
Like so much else in Cuba, the game had the feel of a 1950s game in the States.
• A bus ride to El Morro, the historical fortress that sits across the bay from downtown Havana. This offers a gorgeous view of the Havana skyline, without all the nicks, cuts and crumbling facades.
• A night at the Tropicana nightclub, a spectacular two-hour, outdoor, three-level show featuring singing, dancing, elaborate costumes and plenty of rum. In truth, the entertainment didn't match that of a Las Vegas show, except for the tall female contortionist whose pretzel-like twists left us all in awe, especially after a few rum-and-Cokes.
• A lack of daily newspapers. Not once in five days did we see anyone reading a newspaper, one group member noted. A request for a newspaper at our hotel front desk brought a copy of Granma, the official organ of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party.
You don't have to be fluent in Spanish to sense the anti-American tone of this newspaper. Two of the five front-page stories dealt with former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords visiting the Sandy Hook families and criticism of President Obama for not closing Guantanamo.
• The visual image, which may outlive all others on this trip, of the parents of some preteenage Jewish kids dancing the Rikudim, a Jewish folk dance, in Patronato on the Sabbath.
These Cuban Jews, sitting in chairs proudly watching their daughters and sons dance, looked like a cross-section of any population, with white, black and mixed-race faces beaming with pride. It looked more like a group of adults standing outside the Tops store on Niagara Street.
Jews, we learned, come in many different complexions.
The trip, led by mission leaders Janet and David Desmon, left us with mixed impressions. We were startled by the gorgeous structures on this idyllic island, saddened by what has become of them. We marveled at the spirit of the small Jewish community, but were saddened by the nation's poverty and lack of modern conveniences.
And while most, if not all, of us seemed to favor the lifting of the crippling U.S. embargo against Cuba, we were reminded firsthand of the political reality that may prevent that: the strong voting bloc of avidly anti-Castro Cuban-Americans in Florida.
As we went through customs in the Miami airport, one worker, learning we had come from Cuba, said he had a brother living there and starving, and he had the photos to prove it.
"It's like living in a concentration camp," he said of Cuba.
There are no easy answers.

COD: MW3 Review
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 doesn't do anything new, but it also doesn't do anything wrong.
Do you remember where you were at the start of World War III? I do; getting pounded by some guy with a Striker over and over again in a German shopping mall.
Campaign, co-op, or multiplayer? That's the gulf between Modern Warfare 3's trisected whole. To say there are three separate games on the disc would be an exaggeration, but to simultaneously apprise Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games' trio of component parts as one singular whole would be unfair.
So, where do you begin? Multiplayer will be the sole focus for many, and this is another solid incremental update of an annual franchise that has embraced the idea of gaming as a service rather than an individualistic product - an ideology that has enraged many of the series' outspoken detractors. Modern Warfare 3 is this principle at its apex, and it comes as no surprise that Activision makes frequent comparisons with sport as this year's game launches simultaneously (on 360 and PS3, at least) with social tool Call of Duty: Elite.
In many respects it is easier to approach Modern Warfare 3's yearly updates as you would an annualised sports game: this is very much refinement rather than revolution, and increment over innovation. The most noticeable change this year is that the iconic Killstreak system has been revamped and rebranded as the Strike Package, and this ultimately subtle change arrives with all the pomp and self-jubilation of one of FIFA or Madden's bold back-of-the-box boasts.
But subtlety does not automatically mean insignificance. There are three various flavours of Strike Package: Assault, Support and Specialist. The former awards you things like attack helicopters for unbroken streaks of kills, as in former Call of Duty games, but Support presents an alternative approach with a range of defence-oriented rewards that also allow you to keep your streak after death. The final option, Specialist, is a more complex option that unlocks up to three additional perks with every second kill you score, resetting when you die.
Strike Packages don't radically change the rhythm of the game, which still thrashes along with Call of Duty's usual blink-and-you'll-miss-it pace, but they do offer less experienced players the chance to reap rewards without having to adopt a camper mentality. A cache of ballistic vests can provide the team an extra edge, for instance, and the advanced UAV always comes in useful.

The Mission and History
In 1988, Bruce Cleland assembled a NYC Marathon team to raise money in honor of his daughter, a leukemia survivor.
38 runners raised $322,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) work to discover new treatments for blood cancers.
During the next 25 years, LLS's Team In Training (TNT) has become the leader in endurance sports training for charity, funding significant therapies like chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants, which have a significant impact on blood cancer patients.
Today, LLS funds only the most promising advances; targeted therapies like Gleevec�, Velcade� and Dacogen� take aim at cancer cells, and destroy them. Immunotherapies use a patient's own immune system to kill cancer. And the repurposing of existing drugs for arthritis and antifungals to fight specific leukemias are breakthroughs that allow patients to live their best life, today.
TNT and LLS fundraising efforts through marathons, triathlons, cycling and hiking really are making cures happen. Coaches will expand your fitness level with workouts, nutrition and hydration clinics. And you'll have staff members to help with fundraising support.

Family rivalry begins
Vazquez signs with his father's rival, Glenville
March 24, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — It had been virtually days since Tony Vazquez signed his letter-of-intent to play football at Glenville State, yet the trash-talking began almost immediately in the family....
I have appreciated Rick's articles since my own playing day. Frankly, I think he is one of the best local sports writers in the business. However, I do hope this particular write up doesn't draw the wrong impression as to how Tony and I approached his recruiting experience. Tony's decision was always based on what is best for him and where he is most comfortable. The due diligence he applied to his decision making is an example for any potential college-bound student athlete. Glenville was the right choice for Tony and I fully support it. While taking nothing away from my dedication to SU, it pales in comparison to the loyalty we have in our household towards each other as a family. No trash talking, no reluctance, no rivalry, and certainly no regrets. Tony has worked extremely hard for this opportunity and deserves to know his dad supports him 100% - and I do. GO RAMS and PIONEERS!
Nelson Vazquez (proud Dad)

This might just be the most wonderful time of year for garbage in Buffalo.
Leaves get mulched. Christmas trees will get chipped.
The rest of the year? There's a chance if you put a bag or two out on the curb, they're going to the landfill.
It's more than a bit irksome to spend an afternoon dutifully bagging up yard waste into clear plastic bags, only to see them dumped into a garbage truck.
Annoying as that is, there are bigger issues. The city pays for everything it sends to the landfill – whether it's real garbage or twigs and leaves that don't need to be buried for eternity in a pile of muck. All that costs money and fills up increasingly precious landfill space with greens that could be turned into gardening supplies.
Here's the good news: It's an issue city officials are thinking about.
Buffalo Public Works Commissioner Steven Stepniak said the city is looking at options for expanding its yard waste program, but he's mum on what alternatives the city is exploring.
"It does become a little bit more complicated in the city, because of the geographics and on-street parking, so we're trying to make a cost-effective program the best we can and be as green as possible," Stepniak said.
Done right, it could be a money saver.
The city, Stepniak said, has already seen savings with leaves and yard waste it mulches during the fall and intermittently the rest of the year when residents can drop off yard waste at a city public works facility on Seneca Street.
It costs roughly $50 for every ton of waste that goes into the landfill. Stepniak estimates that the city saves $30 a ton on leaves that it composts, and it gets mulch it can distribute to block clubs and other organizations.
It's done successfully in other mid-sized cities.
Salt Lake City, for example, was told 20 years ago that the lifespan on its landfill was 20 years, said its director of sustainability, Vicki Bennett. Today, because of ramped up recycling efforts that include yard waste composting, Bennett estimates it has another 40 to 50 years.
Two years ago, the city distributed a third tote to every resident for yard waste. Like Buffalo, it previously had a fall program in which the city collected bagged leaves. It now collects yard waste and compostable materials once a week and turns it into compost and mulch.
There's an incentive for residents to recycle and compost more. Those who choose a smaller garbage tote pay less.
"It is much more beneficial to us, and we come out ahead to be able to process it that way and sell it, compared to just landfilling it," Bennett said. "It's cheaper than the cost to landfill, and then there's the recovery of actual revenue created by selling the compost."
It can be done locally. The Town of Amherst offers curbside pickup of leaves and yard waste from March through November. The town has a unique arrangement, because it previously owned the composting facility where yard clippings are taken, so it just pays to pick up materials.
"It's just wasteful anyway," said Amherst Superintendent of Highways Robert Anderson. "It's ridiculous to throw something that can be composted into the landfill. It just doesn't make good business sense."
Those in the sanitation business call it the "diversion rate" – waste rerouted from the landfill that saves money. The rest of us can call it common sense.

Rookie punter Shawn Powell was one of the unsung heroes of the Buffalo Bills' win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.
With 4:51 left in the game and the Bills nursing a five-point lead, Powell booted a 52-yard punt from the Buffalo 47 out at the Miami 1.
It was directed at the right sideline to keep the ball away from Miami return man Marcus Thigpen. The ball took one good bounce at about the 8 and caromed out of bounds in front of the goal line. Miami's drive from the shadow of its own end zone ended with an interception by Bills safety Jairus Byrd.
"It was a little too far to do an Aussie kick but it was close enough that it could easily go in the end zone," said Powell, referring to the end-over-end pooch kick he uses when he gets across midfield. "I just tried to have that perfect placement. It's better to be lucky than good sometimes. When I hit it I knew it was up there. I thought he was probably going to fair catch it. I saw him run away from it and said to myself, 'Let's see if we can get a good bounce on it.' It was a real good feeling."
Powell had five punts inside the 20, tying a Bills team record. His net average on seven punts was 40.9 yards.
The Bills kept C.J. Spiller on the bench for six red-zone plays at the end of the first half against the Dolphins. Tashard Choice was on the field instead. Spiller's 20-yard run got the Bills to Miami's 20 with 1:09 left. A third-down pass to Stevie Johnson put the Bills at Miami's 4 with 15 seconds left and no timeouts remaining. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three incomplete passes and the Bills settled for a 19-yard field goal by Rian Lindell.
Why no Spiller?
Here's what coach Chan Gailey said: "We have certain play situations where if we know we're gonna throw the football anyway, if it's not something he might be vital in, then we'll put Tashard in there. Or if it's Fred [Jackson], we'll put Fred in there, to give [Spiller] a blow and to pass protect and to slip out if we need him to slip out, things like that. We don't do it a lot, but we'll do it some. We'll do it anywhere on the field if that's what we need."
Gailey said Spiller is part of the Bills' red-zone packages.
Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick on the red-zone struggles against Miami:
"We've been pretty good this year. We had our struggles in Houston. We corrected a lot of that and did a good job in New England. I sort of made this excuse yesterday – and I don't want to make excuses – but those guys do a lot of different things on defense, and I thought they did a good job. I think being a Thursday night game and not having the normal preparation might have had a little bit to do with what went on down there. We've just got to continue to work at it. I don't think that's a weakness for us. I see it as a strength."
The Bills came out of Thursday's game in good health. Receiver Brad Smith was limited a bit by a sore hamstring. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams had a hyperextended elbow but played through it.
Gailey said running back Fred Jackson and defensive end Chris Kelsay have a good chance to play against Indianapolis. Jackson sat out with a concussion. Kelsay sat out with a sore neck.
"We hope to have them both next Wednesday for practice," Gailey said.
Gailey on Jackson: "The report I get is that he feels a lot better and the steps you have to go through now – everything's going according to plan."
While the players have the weekend off, the Bills' coaches will be on the job.
"We'll work Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening," Gailey said.
New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes was fined $25,000 by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Fitzpatrick in last week's game. The blow knocked Fitzpatrick's helmet off. Pats linebacker Jerod Mayo was fined $10,000 for his late hit on Spiller.
Leodis McKelvin became the first Bill with two punt returns for touchdowns in one season. Jairus Byrd was the first Bill with an interception and a fumble recovery in a game since 2010 (Drayton Florence).

The big, jolly white man in the blood-red suit with a flowing white beard—you know, the guy who magically appears on Christmas Day, Santa Claus—has not always been so fun-loving, peaceful and giving. And he has not always looked that way, either.
Indeed, in America before 1931, Santa was depicted as everything from a tall, pointy-nosed, gaunt, hungry-looking man to an elfish, spooky-looking boogie man. He has been a Catholic bishop and even a Norseman (Viking) huntsman wrapped in still bloody animal skins.
Thomas Nast was a Civil War cartoonist who drew Santa Claus for Harper's Weekly in 1862. He pictured Santa as a small elflike figure who supported the Union cause, of course. Nast drew Santa for 30 years, and gradually changed the color of Santa's coat from a drab tan to bright red. Here are a few other things you may not have realized about the cheerful guy in the red suit:
The Coca-Cola Company is the largest soft-drink manufacturer in the world. One of the main reasons for its unparalleled success is because in the 1920s it began to publish Christmas-oriented ads in top magazines like The Saturday Evening Post. Its very first Santa ads simply followed the pattern of Thomas Nast by employing a severe and strict-looking Claus.
In 1930, artist Fred Mizen painted a department-store Santa surrounded by shoppers. That Santa was drinking—are you ready?—a bottle of Coke. That painting was then featured in The Saturday Evening Post in December 1930.
Smelling potential success, in 1931 the company began placing Coca-Cola ads in other popular magazines. It was a guy named Archie Lee, of the D'Arcy Advertising Agency who convinced the Coca-Cola Company to begin depicting a more wholesome Santa. Coca-Cola agreed and commissioned Michigan-born illustrator Haddon Sundblom to develop advertising images showing Santa as a real person and not simply as somebody dressed as or pretending to be Santa Claus.
Sundblom fortuitously used Clement Clark Moore's 1822 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (commonly called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas") to develop the image of a warm, friendly, pleasantly plump and very human Santa. Sundblom's Santa debuted in 1931 in Coke ads in The Saturday Evening Post and appeared regularly in that magazine, as well as in Ladies Home Journal, National Geographic, The New Yorker and others. The red coat was now enshrined as part of the uniform, part of the mystique of St. Nick.
Sundblom drew his final iteration of Santa Claus in 1964, but for many years after, Coca-Cola continued to use Sundblom's original works. These paintings are now some of the most valuable artworks in the world. They may be found in the Louvre in Paris, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the Isetan Department Store in Tokyo, and the NK Department Store in Stockholm. And a number of the original paintings can be seen at World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta.
And finally, in 1942, Coca-Cola introduced "Sprite Boy," a character who sat on Santa's lap in ads throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Sprite Boy was also created by Sundblom. He was called Sprite Boy because he was both sprite and an elf. In the 1960s Coca-Cola introduced the still-popular beverage Sprite.
Well, actually not an opinion, but more of a tease. Why is cocaine illegal in the United States? Hint: How and why did Coca-Cola become so popular so fast? Or, what put the "pep" in Pepsi?

Darlene Sutton, South Carolina's 2014 Teacher of the Year, brought her story-telling magic to Charleston Southern's Teaching Fellows and the Future Teachers Society on Sept. 18 in her role as a statewide ambassador for teaching.
"As teachers you are going to get to do some incredible things," said Sutton. "You will get to be a ray of sunshine in the life of a child who may live in the shadows. Teaching is one of the most life-impacting professions you could choose. Education makes a difference."
Sutton challenged the CSU education students to find the strengths in each child.
"Children deserve to have someone teach them who finds positive things to say," she said.
Teachers should create a loving environment in their classroom and stand in the gap for their students, Sutton said.

In our ongoing effort to improve the searching and browsing of the Virtual Motor City collection, we've just reloaded the collection's metadata, updated with the latest additional information: descriptions of photographs, Library of Congress subject headings, and our brand new field, titles.
With the new title field, you'll notice that some records contain two titles: Historical Title and Title. You may ask, well, what's the difference? Here's our explanation.
There are two title fields, Historical Title and Title. Historical Title is the name given to the photograph by the Detroit News Photographer who took the photo(s). This field, while historically significant and interesting, is riddled with problems when it comes to searching because a lack of consistency. The photographers did not use an authority list, so photographs that are similar, such as three pictures of cars, might be labeled totally different. One might be simply "Autos" while another might be the model and brand, while another might be "Street Scenes." The NEW title field is original metadata added by a metadata librarian, that looks to give some consistency back to the titles and also add titles to records that never had one. Once we've reached a significant number or records with this new field, users will have the ability to browse by title.

The Ends of the Earth: An Anthology of the Finest Writing on the Arctic and Antarctic
OK, here's my technique to get through these incredibly hot days. Wet your hair--I mean really soak your mane without drying it, fill a huge glass with ice cubes and read a book about the arctic or antarctic. In five New Orleans' summers, I covered a lot of very northern and very southern territory including many of the authors represented in The Ends of the Earth.
Many were not primarily writers but explorers: Roald Amundsen, Frederick A. Cook, Robert Falcon Scott, Richard Byrd, and Robert Peary. They describe the heroic age, where men (and they were usually only men then) struggled by boat, dogsled and foot to reach the furthest and coldest ends of the earth. Quite a few of them died in the process including Scott. It's fascinating to read how many letters Scott wrote in his last couple of days and left inside his tent. He even wrote consolation letters to the widows and parents of the dead members of his party as they lay in death beside him.
For those primarily interested in nature, essays by Barry Lopez and Gretel Ehrlich provide a close look at the inspiring landscapes of the polar regions, while Elizabeth Kolbert gives an introduction to life in the Inupiat village of Shismaref, Alaska.
There are detailed accounts of miseries endured: little food, epic treks over glaciers, surviving (and not) intense blizzards. Always interesting are the strong rivalries between men representing various nations hoping to get to the poles first.
The collection is cleverly designed as two books in one: hold it one way and you read about the Arctic; turn it upside down and discover works about the southern polar areas.
By the time your hair is dry and the icecubes are all melted or chewed, you will feel as though you have visited the coolest of places. Other good reads are Margaret Murie's Two in the Far North and Four to the Pole!: The American Women's Expedition to Antarctica by Nancy Loewen and Ann Bancroft.

How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
I delayed my end-of-homestand post for a day so I could see how Sean Gallagher followed up on his brilliant outing from last week.
The results? Mixed.
Gallagher retired the first ten Fresno hitters he faced. He entered the sixth having surrendered only one run and retired the first two routinely before an infield single dripped from the faucet. A stolen base followed, then an intentional walk, then an accidental walk and Gallagher called it a night, leaving the bases loaded and the water running for Carmen Pignatiello.
Channeling his lone big league appearance of the season before being dispatched to Iowa, 'Piggy' walked both of the batters who stood in against him. With the water now rising quickly, Randy Wells waded right in and served up a grand slam to the first guy he faced and the ballgame floated away.
All five of Gallagher's whiffs on the night were swinging, giving him seventeen straight of that variety over his last two starts. He seems to be foolin' people.
Five starts and 30 innings into the season and Gallagher is sporting a .196 BAA. Good stuff.
Jose Ascanio also continues to impress. He's saved six of the team's eleven wins, and the I-Cubs are 9-1 when he appears in a game.
Neal Cotts is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA so far. Versus lefties he's allowed only two hits in five frames while walking one and fanning seven.
Those three hurlers are the only silver linings this prospector has found on the club.
Jake Fox has somehow managed to produce 18 runs with his 15 hits, but his BA has plummeted to .169 for the year. In the last ten games he's 2/38 [.053]. Want more? He's tagging southpaws at an .063 clip [1/16].
Patterson's on the DL with the hammy he strained last week, Fuld still isn't playing due to his bad thumb and Hoffpauir remains a fond memory from last year.
Old war-horse Les Walrond got his walking papers yesterday in favor of Justin Berg who was promoted from Tennessee where he'd been 0-3 with a 3.49 ERA in five starts.
The pesky redhead should be back with the team when they return from the road on May 6. I can only hope...MW

It'll take a lot of dominating AAA, and his peripherals will have to be great, to convince me that he doesn't still suck.
Re: So Far
Lou looks like a genius for the team he selected from Spring Training. With few exceptions, the guys he returned to the minors have performed like crap down there.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Great writeup, as always!
promoted from the other thread...
pitcher James Russell already up to AA. I know AZ Phil did a write-up on him, but 14th round pick last year is already in AA. 6-4", 205, 22 years old lefty was 1-1 with a 2.05 ERA at Hi-A Daytona, 27.1 IP, 25 H, 14 K, 7 BB, 2 HR as a starter.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Gallagher's going to be one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in next year's rankings if he doesn't lose his eligibility this season. It seems his new slider is working. I know he's got the same control issues as Rich Hill, where the numbers generally look good in AAA, but he doesn't quite have that good control as the numbers suggest. Nonetheless, this kid is developing into something special.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
That's some serious minor-league Cubbery there. Two-out, nobody on turns into six runs, with only two hits. Wow.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Cubbery, indeed.
Re comparing to RHILL, (not John Hill), is Gallagher's fastball a "real" one?

Mike Cameron has a career .295 BA and .411 OBP at Wrigley.

Cubs are so fucked this year...
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
okay, i give up. i finally found a strawman arguement that's worse than blaming a manager for everything.
let's buy every issue and bury them in concrete supporting the Banks statue...light a few catholic decorated candles every home game...sacrifice a chicken on the full moon...drag our scrotums through the underbrush banging on drums to moon gods during losing streaks...
baseball players have enough superstitions...heh.
not upset, just ranting for the hell of it. doesnt really bug me, but some people put actual emotion into the stuff.
myself, i know a lot more people that wont step on the 1st/3rd lines on a field more cuz they don't wanna piss off the grounds crew more any superstition. still...some players/managers/coaches got more rituals, quirks, and lucky charms than some people who play too much bingo and slots. =p
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
lol crunch. I'm not a big fan of superstitions, either.
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
Ahhh, Rob G. and the other authors finally being able to say things like the "Cubs are so fucked." Just one nice benefit of no longer being at MVN.
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
i will frame it up to my 1994 si predicred world series of cubs and red sox.
my 2003 si cover of chicago heat with wood and prior.
and of course the2004 preview issue with wood on cover predicting world series .

that reporter should have stuck with the pack rather than roaming around. hehe..

funny stuff.
Site enhancement
The featured post/recent posts is now one "block" and you can tab between the two. Save some sidebar space. I'll probably be adding more of that around the site.
It does seem to screw up on Internet Explorer (of course) as the picture and headlines overlap the tabs. I'm hoping I can fix it by changing the style of the tabs,, but I'll have to play around with that later.
Re: Site enhancement
think I fixed the IE issue, just had to shorten the tab names so it displayed on one line...

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

A phrase that is used when something is beyond cheesy/corny. The phrase orginates from cheese gone bad. The bad mold in cheeses creates a harmful bacteria. The mold can send threads of mold into the cheese to create the bacteria as does an extra dose of cheesy. Hence the phrase.
Sarah: "There's only one of you. You're irreplaceable.."

It's election season again, and as our local races gain steam toward the Nov. 6 general election, we want to make sure readers are aware of the newspaper's policy regarding election-related letters to the editor and guest columns.
In addition to our standard policy for editorial-page submissions, the Bonanza has the following guidelines for election-related letters:
• The opinion pages are a forum for comments on candidates and political issues, and we welcome opinions from residents and their endorsements of candidates. However, the Bonanza will not publish personal attacks, false information or stretched facts, and reserves the right to limit the number of rebuttals.

• If a letter is written by an elected official, his or her affiliation must be clearly stated.
• Limit for a letter is 300 words. Guest columns hold a 750-word limit. Due to their size, letters will be published first, where as guest columns will take a backseat and run the risk of not publishing due to space limitations.

I've decided that the fall sky always has a story to be told.
Tonight, the view on my drive into the country, where I took this while driving (the moon roof comes in handy!)
Life of the Day, Day 11
Gorgeous sky! Perfect halloween colors too.ReplyDelete
Wow. very beautiful! Great pic.ReplyDelete
Wow...that's amazing!ReplyDelete
Colorful dusk skies have a special place in my heart.
You are absolutely right. Just last night I took pictures of the sky. It was incredible.
Great picture, Steph!
The country? And um, should I be wondering WHY your taking pictures out the moon roof instead of watching the road!?!ReplyDelete
ooh, that's gorgeous! it's great having your camera handy at just the right time.ReplyDelete
Great picture!ReplyDelete
I noticed the same thing today, except it was while I was driving down 80/94 around 5pm on my way home from work. It was beautiful and I Was sad I didn't have my camara.
Funny story. A few months ago, I noticed this sunflower on the side of 80/94, growing out of a crack in the median. I started taking my camara with me in the car everytime I drove to work. It took many many tries, and by the time I got a decent pic, the sunflower was dead. ;-(
I was pretty sad.
Dusk has been gorgeous lately!
I'm so impressed you had your camera in the car to get this shot! GORGEOUS!ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful view.....enjoy it.ReplyDelete
Beautiful and so Halloween-y. Perfect for a late October evening.ReplyDelete
Hi Steph...in my quest for good stuff for my kids I've come to realize that horror of children's crib mattresses!!!
they are laced with Bromine!!!!!
and are linked to sids.
hrmph...is nothing good anymore??
While driving Steph! Oh my that is not good. Great picture but please pull over next time or go with Jeff so he can drive silly. I sound like your mom I know.
I love the sunsets lately they have been so pretty.
I promise that I just drove and lifted the camera out of the moon roof and snapped the picture! No different than hunting around in your purse searching for your cell phone or changing the radio station... you can't tell me you don't do that! : )
O.k., but please be careful. Love ya girl.ReplyDelete
I was going to say the same thing as Amy, but she beat me to it...LOL...It reminds me of a spooky night...Last night was a full moon, we noticed when we were out.ReplyDelete
How beautiful!ReplyDelete
I love sunsets in the fall!
Even beter, sunroofs to take pictures out of! Good photo!
Amazing!! I love fall skies!!ReplyDelete
Aside from wide open bright blue skies, sundown sky hues are my favorite! And a great photo of one helps the mind, for sure!ReplyDelete
gorgeous. we've had some amazing sunsets this week.ReplyDelete

Our technologies
Broad Institute scientists generate a wide range of novel technologies in several broad categories, including: therapeutics, diagnostics, research tools, and software. We seek to collaborate with like-minded partners in academia and industry to accelerate the development and commercialization of these technologies. Please contact the office of Strategic Alliances and Partnering at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to learn about opportunities in any of these areas:
The Broad Institute's Chemical Biology and Novel Therapeutics Platform enables researchers to design novel assays, synthesize small-molecule probes, undertake high-throughput screens, identify the targets of small molecules, and engage in follow-up medicinal chemistry and pre-clinical development. Increasingly, we are generating a wide range of novel drug discovery projects across multiple therapeutic areas including cancer, autoimmune disease, neuroscience, cardio-vascular disease, metabolic disease, and infectious disease. We are interested in exploring potential collaborations that can help advance these projects to successful therapeutics that serve patients and accelerate biomedical progress.
The Broad Institute has robust research programs in novel diagnostics, which have yielded several new genetic and proteomic profiles and biomarkers. We are also engaged in the development of entire diagnostic platforms such as technologies to rapidly identify pathogen strains. These technologies not only show great potential for personalized medicine, ensuring that each patient gets the safest and most effective therapy, but also have the potential to improve and accelerate clinical trials.
Research Tools
Broad scientists work on the cutting-edge of many scientific disciplines. When the tools needed to carry out new research do not yet exist, we create them. Technologies such as novel screening methodologies, high-throughput sample preparation, epigenetic tools, and new instrumentation are constantly invented here.
Software engineers at the Broad continuously develop new software to analyze, interpret, and visualize large datasets generated by research groups across the institute. These proprietary software packages enable and improve many aspects of biological research ranging from genetic analysis to sequencing and phenotypic screening.
