on March 25, 2013 - 10:02 PM
LOCKPORT – The mother of Antoine M. Bradberry, who died in his Niagara Falls apartment during a 2011 robbery, took Monday's postponement of the convicted killer's sentencing in stride.
"It's all in God's hands right now, but he will do time for what he did," Janice Bradberry said of Matthew A. Davis, whose sentencing was put off after his attorneys filed a motion seeking a new trial.
Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III said he will produce a written ruling on the motion brought by defense counsel Michael S. Deal and Philip Dabney Jr. He said Davis will be sentenced April 18 – unless he grants the motion to overturn the jury's Dec. 7 verdict.
Davis, 37, never was charged with intentionally killing Bradberry, 41, in the latter's apartment on Rainbow Boulevard in Niagara Falls.
Instead, Davis was charged with felony murder by causing Bradberry's death Aug. 22, 2011, in the course of committing a robbery.
Davis allegedly used two women to scope out Bradberry's apartment before entering and trying to steal a cache of marijuana. The jury deliberated less than two hours before convicting Davis on Dec. 7.
An autopsy by Dr. Jonrika Malone of the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Bradberry's death was caused by "hypertensive cardiovascular disease," but the manner of death was left undetermined. The victim also was found to have a broken nose and jaw.
Police officers who went to the scene after Bradberry's father discovered the body said there was a large amount of blood spattered around the apartment.
Deal argued that the evidence was insufficient to prove that Bradberry's death was caused by anything Davis might have done.
"There has to be a direct link between the defendant's actions and the death," Deal argued.
"There was no blunt-force trauma that caused his death, that's true," Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann replied. "It was the stress on his heart caused by this violent struggle that caused his death."
Deal said he and Dabney didn't find out until the first day of the trial that Malone would not be testifying, having been, as Deal put it, "excused" by the Medical Examiner's Office.
Medical Examiner Dr. Diane Vertes took the stand, but Hoffmann said the defense passed up an opportunity Murphy offered to subpoena Malone. "They want her conclusions, but they don't want to bring her back [to testify]," Hoffmann said.
Prosecutors showed the jury video clips from the Jefferson Apartments' surveillance cameras. They showed a man with a white T-shirt over his face heading toward Bradberry's apartment. One of the women involved in the case, Teara D. Fatico, testified that the man was Davis. She and Chastity L. Wilson, 23, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree burglary and were each sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Deal also said Davis told him that after Murphy dismissed the two alternate jurors at the start of deliberations, they sat on the Bradberry family's side of the courtroom during the jury's return to ask Murphy some questions.

It took an extra day for J.T. Waters to decide but when he was sure, he was sure.
The Palmetto Christian Academy quarterback signed his National Letter of Intent Friday morning to join The Citadel Bulldogs next season.
"It's such a relief to have this decision over with,? Waters said. ?The process is fun but it's also stressful. I've had a bunch of great coaches talk to me, which made it that much harder. I wanted to take an extra day or two to make sure I was completely comfortable with the decision.
"I feel great about The Citadel. I love the coaches out there, the campus, the dorms, the weight room. And education-wise it seemed like the best fit, so I'm really happy with my decision."
Waters earned SCISA Statewide Player of the Year while leading the Eagles into the second round of the Class AA playoffs. His 2,579 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns both rank No. 2, and 4,328 total yards rank No. 5, for quarterbacks nationwide, according to Maxpreps.com. He is Palmetto Christian Academy's first Division I signee in school history.
"PCA gave me the opportunity to play for them and made this all possible," he said. "I don't know where I would be without my coaches and teammates. This school has built the foundation for what I was able to do today in signing with the Citadel."
Waters expects to play quarterback or slot back and says he's open to doing whatever is best for the team. As of Friday, he's the third quarterback or fourth slot back signee in first-year head coach Mike Houston's inaugural signing class.
"They can put me anywhere on the field. It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm out there," Waters said. "That's one of the things I'm most excited about, getting out there in there and competing with some great players right away."

W.Va. Rail Authority looks for insight at local workshop
January 19, 2013
MARTINSBURG — The key to the West Virginia Rail Authority's state rail plan is getting the public involved, Rail Authority Director Cindy Butler said....
As one of the non-government (see I know how it is spelled) riders on the train, I can tell you more than 1% of us on the train are non-government workers. And the state of WV and the county gain from the taxes we pay (income, property, sales). It is not easy for those of us who are on the train for 4 hours a day round-trip--but we like WV and that is why we live here rather than in Maryland or DC. A native of WV (my family having arrived in this area before the American Revolution), my family has benefited from the railroad, whether it meant being able to ship our goods to Baltimore in the 19th century, or having a job working on the railroad, or having a job now because I can ride the train.

I say get rid of the trains all together. They are an eyesore, annoying as*****and I can hear them 24/7 blowing their effin horns.

For over a century, the world famous Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo has been making years and launching careers of contestants who show up to compete. This year was no different, as storylines were built and history was made at the iconic Wyoming venue.
It started early on Sunday, July 27, as one of the biggest buzzes for the large crowd attending the final round was an exciting matchup between a powerhouse bronc named Dirty Jacket and bareback contestant Richie Champion, the red hot cowboy spurring his way through a year of winning buckles and outsized paychecks. After pocketing more than one million dollars during the first half of the year, Champion hoped to live up to his name in the cowboy state with a duo of Cheyenne titles. He won the first buckle in Cheyenne's inaugural Cinch Shoot Out at the beginning of the rodeo's schedule. All that remained to complete his lofty goal was a coveted CFD buckle. The only problem — all the top bareback riders shared the same objective.
The third year pro from Texas cleared his first hurdle when he qualified for the short round after two successful rides. Winning the buckle would be difficult, however, since Champion was sitting sixth in the average. He would need either a huge score in the final round or some help from the five riders ahead of him to grasp a win.
As fate would have it, he got both.
Champion and Dirty Jacket pulled off one of the most memorable rides in CFD history when the Pete Carr Pro Rodeo bronc exploded from the chute with a leaping, twisting belly roll. When the duo finally landed, the powerful horse ripped off one big buck after another while Champion spurred him on. It was a crowd-pleasing ride that saw Champion overtake the field with a 91-point score. Then came the waiting to see if it would stand.
After four of the five cowboys ahead of Champion left the door open, multiple world champion winner Will Lowe settled into the chute. All Lowe needed was 83 points aboard a nice bucker and Champion's hopes would be dashed. Lowe came out spurring, but shifted off center midway through the ride and hit the horse with his free hand. The rare no score from Lowe secured the improbable title for Champion and continued his dream season in full force.
"Indescribable," said Richmond about winning the massive Cheyenne rodeo. "It's awesome. It was a goal of mine to win the (Cinch) Shoot Out and the rodeo. After Denver it kind of hooked me," he added with a laugh about winning both the Cinch Shoot Out and the buckle at the National Western Stock Show in January. "That was an awesome experience, but this is the 'Daddy of 'em All' and this is unreal. Literally, I am still trying to wrap my head around it."
When asked about the explosion from the chute aboard Dirty Jacket, Champion searched for words.
"Indescribable," he repeated with another laugh before coming up with an answer. "It was everything as a bareback rider you want. There was no time to think. When he rared out of there, I dang near saw my dad's face at the back of the bucking chutes," he recalled with a wide grin. "It was pretty cool. He is one of those horses you dream about getting on. It took three years to finally make the short round," summed up Champion about being in Cheyenne. "In that fashion, to come out on top, it's a day I won't forget, that's for sure."
Another young competitor who will never forget that day is Colorado barrel racer Randi Timmons. In just her second year as a pro, Timmons earned a trip to the final round to compete against the top riders in the sport. Not only that, but Timmons' mother is Christy Loflin, who won the CFD buckle in 2013 and was cheering her on from the stands after failing to make the cut.
Talking to her before the rodeo, Timmons was understandably nervous.
"I'm going to go out there and be positive and make another good run and ride hard," she said of her plans for the short go. "I'm trying to keep myself from getting nervous, but it's not working very well," Timmons admitted with a laugh. "If you look at the list I'm next to — Sherry Cervi and Jean Winters and Mary Walker and Lisa Lockhart — it's a big deal and I am honored to be running with those girls today."
"She's really making a name for herself, I'm really proud of that," said Loflin before the final round started. "How much more awesome can it be? I'm a rodeo mom today and not a contestant, so I just can't wait to see what happens."
After posting an 18.07-second time in the short go and finishing in the top ten, Timmons was pleased with the overall experience.
"I'm pretty honored that I made it in only my second year in pro rodeo," the unassuming cowgirl stated afterward. "I know (my stepdad) would be proud," she continued with emotion as she revealed she dedicated her CFD runs this year to his memory. "I wanted to make it to the final round for him and that's what I did, so I couldn't be happier."
It wasn't just young guns creating moments and memories in Cheyenne. Veteran saddle bronc rider and current world champ Chad Ferley rocked the big crowd with a story line of his own. Despite no saddle bronc cowboy winning back to back titles there since the 1930's, Ferley made a run at the record books. When his initial horse for the final round had to withdraw, Ferley rode the replacement bucker (J Bar J's Sweating Bullets) to a solid 83-point score that was enough to keep him in first place and make history at the world famous venue.
"I knew Sweating Bullets was a really good horse," said Ferley after his win. "I have to say maybe I just got lucky and drew good. Cheyenne is a great rodeo. I've been coming here for about 15 years now. I started here in the rookie bronc riding. So to come that far and end up winning it back to back — it means the world."
After more than $800,000 in prize money was earned 2014's CFD, it's safe to say the historic venue carried on its own tradition of creating successful careers and turning contestants' dreams into memories that last a lifetime. ❖

NJ.COM: Rich Chere reports Devils captain Zach Parise said first and foremost he wants to re-sign, and wouldn't rule out returning to the Devils if he become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Chere suggests it's possible Parise could command offers between $9-$10 million per season on the open market.
Parise on
@NHLHomeIce "Met with my agent and we're going to continue today. Still talking to Lou & were going to try & get that worked out." @JoshRimerHockey Parise on Oates hiring, "He will do a great job there. It is a big loss for us...
In an interview on NHL Home Ice, Parise refers to Adam Oates' relocation as hurting ¨us¨ meaning ¨him¨ on the Devils next year and the future.
I wouldn't want to sign him at the 9-10 million $ salary he seeks anyways, but I look at it as a slight problem for the Wings. Before reading the quotes above (see above) I figured that with Parise testing the market fully, other teams like the Rangers, Penguins, etc. would jump at this opportunity while we focus on better options suitable for our current situation and go after players like Semin who will be at discount because of his worst season as a Capital last year.
I always assumed Parise would re-sign with the Devils so I wasn't worried, but happy that he would take attention away from players the Wings could steal. Now that he is expressing that he wants to play in New Jersey and calling the Devils ¨us¨, it creates a less hostile environment for teams trying to pursue him. Teams are realizing the fact that Parise is probably not the best option to throw all their chips in.
I am looking at players like Semin, Schultz, Suter. Let´s say Kenny signs Suter and Schultz in a package kind of deal. Where Kenny entices Suter with playing with a young gun in Schultz and entices Schultz with playing along a proven defender in Suter. We can sign Semin for 4-5 million (given he can receive more elsewhere, but likes the idea of playing with Datsyuk), sign Suter for his 7 million, and get Schultz for his entry 925,000$ contract.
Being realistic I do not believe it´s even 60% possible that Kenny will be able to pull this off, but this is in my perfect world. Hell, let´s pull a Miami Heat and sign Parise Suter Semin and Schultz. Use the pitch that look what Miami has done, imagine what we all could do kind of thing. (I wish)
What do you all think?

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The drive to increase the speed and efficiency of the development of novel chemical entities for drug candidates has resulted in huge investments in analytical instrumentation by major pharmaceutical companies.
Analytical instrumentation is used at all stages of the synthesis of chemical compounds—to characterize and ensure the integrity of chemical intermediates during a series of reaction steps, to analyze chemical composition after final purification, and for quality control of the compound during storage and before biological assay. From the chemist's perspective, the ability to quickly perform high-quality analysis during all stages of the chemical reaction is vital in the development of new chemical compounds.
The introduction of new high-spec instrumentation into a research establishment often brings with it increased financial and infrastructure burdens due to their size and high maintenance costs. As a result it is not feasible to be able to have equipment in every laboratory.
Rationalization of research equipment is often necessary and in many research establishments analytical equipment is housed in a central laboratory. This poses problems to the research chemist as often, throughout the day, there will be a need to analyze chemical intermediates while performing a series of reactions.
Although analysis of these intermediates using high-quality LC/MS instruments is often more informative, the time taken to walk to the central analytical lab and run the sample may make it impractical to monitor chemical synthesis in this way. For speed, cruder lab-based techniques such as HPLC and thin-layer chromatography are often carried out, which cost less to perform but provide less information.
Even at the final synthesis stage, submission of chemical compounds to equipment such as HPLC and GC/MS requires substantial manual effort. Typically samples are formulated, collated into racks, and transported to a central analytical laboratory. The scientist then has to manually enter these samples into analytical instrumentation, which can be a time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient process.
More likely than not, transportation of samples for analysis requires the scientist to travel long distances, between floors or even buildings. The possibility of queues when the scientist arrives at the analytical lab can be a frustrating experience, taking the scientist away from his research objectives and work.
TTP LabTech has developed an automated laboratory transport and management system for connecting remote laboratories to a central instrument facility. Run by software compatible with the scientist's electronic notebook (ELN), LAB2LAB transfers samples from remote laboratories and connects to existing analytical instrumentation such as HPLC, LC/MS, GC/MS, UPLC, and NMR.
According to the scientist's instructions, the sample for analysis is either automatically sent to their chosen analytical instrument, or if the sample is low priority it is placed in a holding buffer allowing automated analysis at a time when the equipment is in less demand. LAB2LAB allows unattended operation of equipment, thereby reducing sample queues, optimizing instrument use, and increasing the speed of data generation.
The system connects labs from anywhere in the building to analytical instrumentation via a low-pressure compressed-air system. Each sample tube has a distinguishing 2-D barcode. To submit a sample, the chemist scans the tube and selects one or more methods. An ELN reference is assigned, and the tube is placed in a LAB2LAB benchtop sender.
LAB2LAB transports and directs samples via a router to the most appropriate analytical instrumentation available. Samples are either placed in a holding buffer or sent directly for analysis and the results are automatically returned to the originator's ELN. Following analysis, and according to the scientist's instructions, the sample may be returned, sent to another instrument for further analysis, or placed in a waste bin for later removal.

The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) would like to congratulate Parks Canada for its world-leading work in establishing and managing protected areas, and particularly for its successes in restoring the ecological integrity of Canada's national parks. The recent Parks Canada publication, Action on the Ground III is an inspiring testament to what can be achieved through ecological restoration that is based on sound evidence and focused on the achievement of tangible results. Not only does Parks Canada's approach ensure the conservation of natural and cultural resources while enhancing visitor experience, it is also deepening connections between people and nature, and building public awareness and support for protected areas and the benefits they deliver. SER members in North America and around the world are sure to learn much from, and be inspired by Parks Canada's work as they engage with their partners and stakeholders to confront conservation and restoration challenges.
SER is proud to have partnered with Parks Canada, the IUCN, and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity to develop international best practice guidelines for ecological restoration of protected areas. The Action on the Ground III publication provides many excellent examples of the implementation of this guidance framework in Canada. SER looks forward to continuing to work with Parks Canada and other partners globally as this leading approach to ecological restoration is implemented inside and outside protected areas around the world. Parks Canada should be justifiably proud of its conservation and restoration leadership internationally and, even more, for its success in achieving tangible results for Canadians through action on the ground.

Wednesday, April 3, 2013
It was just yesterday that I got to meet Olive, a soft, excessively wrinkled, sweet puppy-breathed English Bulldog. At only eight weeks old, Olive caused the kind of embarrassingly human response in which you stick out your bottom lip, extend your chin and coo for a good 15 seconds before being able to regain any form of composure. Joining Olive were her new parents with whom, after examining the puppy and finding her to be in good health, I had a lengthy discussion on puppy care. We chatted about vaccines, diet, crate training, heartworms and breed related issues that could arise.
Without question, meeting new puppies and kittens is one of my favorite parts of this job. It is exciting to see these new parents simply melt over their newly minted family member; however, the real journey is just getting started.
Many of us have experienced the joy of a new puppy, but the greatest thrill comes over the fulfilling years of companionship. This rings true whatever role your dog plays in your life; your steadfast walking buddy, your snuggly bedmate, your "I missed you all day" personal welcoming committee upon returning home from work or your instant calming tool as soon as your fingers touch that soft, always within reach, head. The fascinating stories of companionship that decorate the rooms of our
practice make every day different and intriguing. Most of our pets know our moves before we make them and vice versa.
Unfortunately, there comes a time when our steadfast companion reaches the age where we start to question his or her quality of life. We tend to deny it at first, but as others begin to point it out to us we slowly come to the realization that begs the question, "When is it time?" This is a sensitive question that I am frequently asked and that only the owner can truly answer. I have, however, found that there are three things for which I advise the owner to look.
One, is your pet eating and drinking. If an animal is not doing one of these then there is a reason for it, whether it is due to illness, it is pain related or it has simply gotten too difficult.
Two, is your pet urinating and defecating in the house or abnormal places. This is often due to an inability to physically control these functions, which is embarrassing to the pet. Or the pet finds it too painful to get outdoors or to the litter box.
And three, is your pet still doing the things he or she has always enjoyed doing. For example, does your dog no longer greet you at the door like he has done every day for the last 10 years?
Over my 10 years in practice I have been a part of the "saying goodbye" process many times. People often comment to me, "I don't know how you do it." Yes. It is a very difficult and emotionally-taxing moment but being a part of wishing a best friend on to a more comfortable place has also been a great blessing to me. How, you may ask? When that time comes I am privy to the incredible bond that has developed over the years between man and animal. I get to hear the stories that explain why "she was the best dog ever," and I quietly empathize as grown men unabashedly let down their guard
because of their love for a companion.
As a 25 year old veterinary school graduate I never envisioned myself looking back in 10 years and counting these sad times of saying goodbye as treasured times, but I do treasure them. Immensely. I treasure being a part of a bond with man's best friend which is something that the true value of needs no further explanation.

Dairies were awash in red ink in 2009
Dairies were awash in red ink in 2009
How deep a financial hole did milk producers dig in 2009? It was "Lassie, go get help!" deep.
It was a horribly serious situation whose magnitude was simply absurd. High feed costs and a collapse in milk prices created the worst financial squeeze for dairies since the Great Depression. Now the question is, will its effects linger for years or decades?
According to average income and cost of production data provided by Genske, Mulder & Co., CPAs, the nation's largest dairy accounting firm, the average loss for all of its clients was a staggering $655 per cow.
Not surprisingly, the main cause was feed. According to the firm, average feed cost for the entire year was $8.27 per hundredweight. By comparison, feed cost in 2006 was $6.21 – and that was an across-the-board loss year, too.
No dairy went through the equity bonfire (declining land, cattle, and facility values) that raged out of control most of the year without getting scorched. Some net worth sheets went up in smoke completely. Most were so badly singed it will take years to recover. Others may take decades.
Even if milk prices eventually return to $20+ levels, Bruce Miles, a partner at Genske, Mulder & Co. says it will take more than one good year to repair the damage. In the meantime, dairies have little if any financial "safety net" to protect them from another downturn, even a mild one.
"Dairies have a lot of debt to repay," he emphasizes. "If we do see $20 milk again, most people won't get back to where they were even if it lasts for two years. It would probably take more like three or four years, and we've never seen prices that high for anywhere near that long before."

Mike Barwis is a complicated fella. As one of the world's top strength-training coaches, Barwis – who is the focus of Discovery's new sports docuseries, American Muscle – can often be seen reducing 300-lb. NFL linemen to quivering, sobbing and vomiting wrecks with his insanely grueling workouts.
"How many people have I made vomit? I don't know if I can count that high," the raspy-voiced Barwis, the former strength and conditioning coach of the University of Michigan's football team, tells PEOPLE. "I push people to the wall and sometimes that involves ... well, a little upset stomach."
But there's another side to Barwis, who can squat 700 lbs. and bench-press over 450 lbs. When he's not training Olympians or some of the nation's top pro athletes at his gym in Plymouth, Michigan, he's putting in countless hours (often for free) each week helping people with debilitating medical conditions regain the use of their legs.
"It's a hell of a lot more important to me than somebody winning the Super Bowl," says Barwis, 41, who holds numerous degrees in sports physiology. "The science that we integrate with these people is no different than what I use on the athletes I train. I took my scientific background and prescribed a program that stimulates the neural fibers to try and establish some conductivity to re-assimilate neuromuscular function."
One of those he's helped is 29-year-old Brock Mealer, who was left paralyzed after a tragic car accident claimed the lives of his father and his brother's girlfriend. Mealer had been told by his surgeon that he'd never regain the use of his legs, but Barwis – who coached Mealer's younger brother at the University of Michigan – showed up at his hospital room and insisted that his doctors were wrong.
To learn more about Barwis's work helping people regain lost motor control, check out his First Step Foundation.

Some notes from around and about the Mirror newsroom to help keep you abreast of what we're doing and what we're trying to do:
The newspaper's role in the community goes well beyond just gathering the news.
We're often called upon to provide sponsorship and support for various causes.
Enter sales representative Valerie Walls, captain of our Relay For Life team and master organizer of the Mirror tent, T-shirts, fundraisers and assorted props for Friday night's opening ceremonies.
As one of 55 teams on hand, we sat in the Mansion Park stands and listened as both Relay ambassadors spoke beautifully and drew standing ovations.
Allison Schmitt, the Altoona Area High School student who has overcome ovarian cancer, talked about how cancer "opened my eyes" and made her appreciate all that she has.
Allison's speech set the stage for one of the most moving performances I have ever seen in Blair County.
After her own inspirational verbal message, with her family standing behind her, adult ambassador Karen Walkney Mrdjenovich, who is deaf and has overcome breast cancer and more recently the loss of her right eye due to cancer, performed a musical sign-language version of "The Rose" by Bette Midler.
The crowd was mesmerized and deeply touched, a moment I'm guessing no one in attendance will ever forget.
We then lined up and marched the track and supported the survivors on their lap, including our own Gretchen Sell, the Mirror's front-desk receptionist who brightens our day every day.
Slow-news day
On a lighter note, Thursday brought some commotion to the Mirror when a rather large-sized bat suddenly was spotted flying through the newsroom.
This thing wasn't quite eagle proportions but boasted an impressive wingspan as it sailed back and forth, cutting a wide swath over the Copy Desk, toward the Life Department, back to Outdoor Times and around the room.
Most of us are only trained in reporting, editing and pagination but, led by graphic artist Tom Worthington II, who seemed to get the biggest kick out of the break in routine, we cornered the varmint in the conference room.
Now the dirty work.
We called pressroom foreman Dave Mentzer Jr. and chief deputy Jeff Brown.
They tag-teamed the bat and, within a few minutes, emerged from the conference room with it in a box and set it free - outside.
PCN guest
Veteran reporter Phil Ray will represent the Mirror on the Pennsylvania Cable Network's "Journalists' Roundtable" for a program to air later this week.
Mirror Managing Editor Neil Rudel can be reached at 946-7527 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pfizer is now a member of the Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) in personalized cancer medicine consortium. Initiated in 2010 by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA) and the Institut Gustave Roussy (France), the WIN Consortium is a global network of academic, industry, and patient advocacy organizations whose goal is to make personalized cancer care a reality for patients worldwide. WIN is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization headquartered in Paris.
According to the consortium, Pfizer's focus on the development of drugs using a precision medicine approach, coupled with the company's experience in the development of oncology therapeutics, align the company's goals and capabilities with the mission of the WIN Consortium. As the newest member of the consortium, Pfizer should play a role in shaping the future achievements of this collective group.
"Bringing the latest advances in personalized cancer medicine to the patient requires collaboration and partnerships between multiple sectors of the health sciences community," said Professor Alexander Eggermont, general director, Institut Gustave Roussy and vice-chairman of the WIN Consortium. "Pfizer's strong commitment to the development of targeted cancer therapeutics and its breadth of expertise in oncology drug development will play a key role in accelerating the pace at which patients can benefit from advances in personalized cancer medicine. We are proud to have Pfizer as WIN's first pharmaceutical partner and believe that this collaboration will benefit cancer patients worldwide."
Other members of the WIN Consortium include Agilent Technologies, GE Healthcare, and Life Technologies; Oracle Health Sciences joined in October.
In June of this year, the consortium launched WINTHER, a clinical trial that, according to the consortium, offers a choice of therapy guided by the biology to the majority of patients included in the study. Complete biological analyses will be carried out (DNA, RNA, and microRNA) from a double biopsy of the tumor (or metastasis) and normal tissue of each patient. The therapeutic decision will be discussed based on an estimated drug efficacy scoring bioinformatics tool based on these investigations. WINTHER includes about 200 patients with different types of metastatic solid tumors resistant to the last line of treatment. It will be conducted within two years and will start early 2013.

The 2012 season may be over for the Philadelphia Phillies but a number of former Phils will continue to play baseball this October in both leagues. If you are the type of Phillies fan who will pick up a rooting interest in a team based on a former Phillie being on the roster, you certainly have some options this fall.
Atlanta Braves, NL Wild Card
Michael Bourne, Chad Durbin
Centerfielder Michael Bourne struggled down the stretch of the regular season but he still managed to be a key player for Atlanta this season with career highs for home runs (9), RBIs (57) and walks (70). The free-agent to be has been discussed by some as a potential target of the Phillies, who drafted him and brought him up through their farm system. Bourne played his first two years in the majors with Philadelphia in 2006 and 2007. Of course, he was part of the package deal orchestrated mainly by assistant general manager (at the time) Ruben Amaro to bring Brad Lidge to the team in time for the 2008 season. That move worked out pretty well for the Phillies, although Bourne developed in to a multi-Gold Glove outfielder and has made two All Star appearances since leaving town.
Speaking of which, one of the more dependable relievers from that 2008 bullpen staff also happens to be one of the trusty relievers for Atlanta. Chad Durbin has put together a 4-1 record with a 3.10 ERA, his best average since his first season in Philadelphia (2.87 ERA in 2008). Durbin has finished 19 games for the Braves this season and carried a 1.311 WHIP in 76 games, matching his WHIP from 2010 season in Philadelphia for his best since 2007. The Braves took a little bit of a chance on Durbin after having a 5.53 ERA in Cleveland last season, but he has certainly paid off for them this season.
Baltimore Orioles, AL Wild Card
Jim Thome, Endy Chavez
Things certainly did not go as the storybook season had scripted for Jim Thome in Philadelphia, but it is good to see one of the classiest guys in baseball get one final crack at postseason play. Thome played in 30 games in his second stint in Philadelphia this season after signing as a free-agent, but things just never really came together despite some great home run moments, including a walk-off win to save Jonathan Papelbon and his return trip to Minnesota. As the Phillies started to fade this season the team traded Thome to Baltimore in exchange for a pair of minor league pitchers, Gabriel Lino and Kyle Simon.
In 28 games with the Orioles Thome has hit three home runs in his 26 at bats. Baltimore took an AL East race down to the final day with the New York Yankees, ending up in the one-game wild card match-up with the Texas Rangers.
Endy Chavez spent one season in Philadelphia, playing in 91 games. He was acquired in a trade with the Washington Nationals in the middle of May 2005 in exchange for Marlon Byrd.
Cincinnati Reds, NL Central Champions
Scott Rolen, Wilson Valdez, Miguel Cairo
The Reds have three former Phillies on their roster. Scott Rolen is the most notable of course, as he continues to play solid all-around baseball. His offensive power has certainly gone down over the years (just eight home runs this season and 19 other extra base hits) but his glove and base running are still admirable. Rolen played in 92 games this season and hit .245. The eight-time Gold Glove third baseman still has some good flashes with the glove and it is his steady defense that keeps him in a starting position during the postseason.
Two utility infielders on the Reds are also former Phillies. Wilson Valdez, somewhat of a Phillies folk hero for the way he pitched in an extra inning game and for his decent job plugging the infield without Jimmy Rollins or Chase Utley at times, serves as Cincinnati's back-up to Brandon Phillips. Miguel Cairo, who spent one season in Philadelphia (27 games in 2009) does not have nearly that same kind of love from the Phillies fans.
Also of note, former Los Angeles Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton is now the closer for the Reds. The good news for him is Matt Stairs and Jimmy Rollins are nowhere to be seen this postseason.
Detroit Tigers, AL Central Champions
Nobody on the roster has a tie to the Phillies worth noting, but they do have the first Triple Crown winner in a couple of generations with Miguel Cabrera. That can be something to root for, right? They also have the manager than many fans wanted instead of Charlie Manuel, with Jim Leyland. It should be noted that Manuel has one World Series ring and two World Series appearances, while Leyland has taken Detroit to one Fall Classic and no ring to show for it.
New York Yankees, AL East Champions
Raul Ibanez
Raul Ibanez came on strong for the New York Yankees down the stretch, including being the hero in a pivotal game against the Boston Red Sox to help keep the Yankees in the driver's seat for the AL East crown. Ibanez saw his bating average fall from .245 in his final season with the Phillies last year to .240 but his on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS all went up and he nearly matched his 2011 home run total (20) in 14 fewer games. Sure, it can be difficult to root for the Yankees, but Raul Ibanez is a class act and few would suggest he left Philadelphia on a sour note.
Oakland Athletics, AL West Champions
How can you not love this team and their story that seems to pop up every few seasons? Oakland dug out of a five-game hole to the Texas Rangers in the final ten days of the season and needed a three-game sweep at home against the Rangers to clinch the AL West, and got it!
While there are no notable Phillies ties with the franchise who originated in Philadelphia playing in the American League, you might take note that Oakland's closer, Grant Balfour, started the second half of game five in the 2008 World Series as a reliever for the Tampa Bay Rays. He was charged with a run in that game (Geoff Jenkins) but was let off the hook after Ryan Madson gave up a solo home run to Rocco Baldelli in the top of the seventh.
San Francisco Giants, NL West Champions
Hunter Pence
One of the defining moments of the 2012 Phillies season was when the team made the decision to part ways with Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence as the trade deadline approached. With the team sitting in a deep hole the message was clear that the Phillies were ready to start thinking about their future rather than see if they could dig out with the current roster. Shipping two starting outfielders out to the NL West was all you needed to see to figure out where Ruben Amaro stood with this year's team. As things turned out, the Phillies started playing better in the second half of the season, although whether this was the change they needed immediately remains an open question.
Hunter Pence was having a rough year as he tried to carry the Phillies offense without Utley and Howard through the first half of the year. Whether his lack of fundamental skills were just exposed in their absence or not, the Phillies decided enough was enough and moved him to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Nate Schierholtz and minor league pitchers Seth Rosin and Tommy Joseph. Since arriving by the Bay Pence has hit just .219 and his on-base percentage of .383 has been over 60 points lower than what he had in Philadelphia, but he recorded 45 RBIs in 59 games to help the Giants edge out the Dodgers for the NL West division. Now Pence will get a chance to help the Giants win their second World Series in three seasons.
St. Louis Cardinals, NL Wild Card
Kyle Lohse
The defending World Series champions will open on the road in the National League Wild Card match-up with the Atlanta Braves. Their hopes of advancing to the full postseason bracket will fall on former Phillies pitcher Kyle Lohse, who spent a short amount of time in Philadelphia in 2007. Lohse was acquired by the Phillies in 2007 in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds for Matt Maloney. Lohse was 3-0 with a 4.72 ERA in the second half of the 2007 season as the Phillies battled back to win the NL East but he struggled in his one relief appearance in the NLDS that year against the Colorado Rockies, serving up a grand slam to Kaz Matsui that turned a 3-2 Phillies lead in to a 6-3 deficit.
Lohse signed with the Cardinals in the off-season after the Phillies were swept out by the red-hot Rockies in 2007. The Cardinals will hope to survive with Lohse on the mound in the wild card game, as the starter enters with a 3-1 career record against Atlanta in 10 games with a 4.97 ERA, but good career numbers in Atlanta's Turner Field (2-0, 3.52 ERA). Lohse also had a career year with a 16-3 record and a 2.86 ERA and 1.090 WHIP (all career bests)
.Texas Rangers, AL Wild Card
Roy Oswalt
Roy Oswalt tried to return to baseball this season after parting ways with Philadelphia at the end of the 2011 season, but his comeback has been anything but glorious with the Texas Rangers. Signed to a $5 million deal, Oswalt has appeared in 17 games and has a 4-3 record and 5.80 ERA. He still appears on the team's active roster on the team's website but he is not a part of the starting rotation or used as a reliever. His chances to be listed on the playoff roster seem slim to say the least.
Washington Nationals, NL East Champions
Jayson Werth, Gio Gonzalez
Last but not least, the Washington Nationals, your 2012 National League East Division champions. We all know the story of Jayson Werth far too well. The player Pat Gillick wanted to take a chance on who developed in to a quality every day player with good defense and a potent bat who was a key player in the supporting cast backing up the likes of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins during a string of division championships and multiple trips to the World Series. Following the 2010 season Werth cashed in on a mega deal to sign with the NL East rival Washington Nationals, and he was quick to suggest Washington could develop a winner. To this day there are plenty of bitter feelings about the way Werth left town, but not from me. I can never blame a man for signing a contract worth as much as he was offered by Washington, and now he gets a well-deserved last laugh for the time being.
Werth hit .300 this season despite playing in just 81 games thanks in large part to a broken wrist, suffered against the Phillies early in the year. Despite missing half the season Werth still had 90 hits and scored 42 runs in 300 at-bats. Good, not great, numbers. Still, it is the first time Werth ended a season hitting .300.
A large reason for the success of the Nationals this season though is the quality pitching they had on the mound. With Stephen Strasburg shut down in September, it looks as though Gio Gonzalez could be the key starting pitcher in the postseason. Gonzalez never pitched a single game wearing a Phillies uniform but he was a key name in a couple of pivotal trades made by the franchise in building to become a power in the NL East.
Gonzalez was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the first round of the 2004 draft, but the following year he was the player-to-be-named-later in a deal between Chicago and the Phillies that saw Thome traded to the White Sox in exchange for Aaron Rowand. The Phillies acquired Rowand along with minor league pitcher Daniel Haigwood and a player-to-be-named, which a month later in the off-season became Gonzalez. But Gonzalez was eventually traded back to the White Soc by the Phillies in another off-season trade the following year, in which the Phillies acquired Freddy Garcia in exchange for Gonzalez and Gavin Floyd.
That is a trade Phillies fans might wish they could have back now.

CHESTER-The city of Chester has found a buyer for the long-vacant, downtown building that for decades was home to Fineman's Department Store.
Mayor Ken Morris announced the pending sale at Monday night's meeting of Chester City Council. "Everybody that was holding their breath can breathe now," he said.
The city, which bought the building in May 2012 for $50,000, plans to sell the building for the same amount to attorney Eric Frankovitch and Weirton Investments, Morris said.
The blighted building, 505 Carolina Ave., will likely be razed to make space for a parking lot. Morris said Frankovitch also is buying the Cooter Brown's building next door, at the corner of Carolina Avenue and Fifth Street.
"He's going to make some kind of cafe, possibly with an outside eatery," Morris said. "It's going to be an improvement over what's there now."
Morris said the deal is vindication for the city, which "took the step to do something with" the building last year. Some residents took Morris to task for using city money for the purchase, but Morris has always defended the city's action, calling it an investment in Chester's main street.
"We bought it off the deadbeat owner in the hope that someone else would buy it" and develop it into something beneficial for the downtown area, he said. The building has had "for sale" signs on it for months.
Known mainly as the former site of Fineman's Department Store, which closed in 1972, the building also has housed a florist, an insurance agency and, most recently, Taco Huey's Restaurant & Lounge.
The city will use $16,000 in grant money from the state to have the building razed. Juszczak Construction was awarded the contract for the demolition, Morris said.
Closing on the sale is scheduled for Feb. 11. "This is going to be a big plus for the city," Morris said.
Frankovitch could not be reached for comment.

After seeing all the nice old knives on here lately, thought I'd share one I bought off craigslist today. Nice old Pilot Survival Knife. Only bad thing is, he didn't have the sheath.

That is a pretty nice Vietnam era knife.
If you haunt eBay, you can probably pick up a correct sheath sooner or later.
Those from 1967 like yours did not have the metal point covers riveted on like the later ones do now.
BTW: That goofy color paint on the butt was once luminescence and glowed in the dark.
Probably doesn't now though.
November 21, 2012, 12:13 AM
Good to know, thank you. When I picked it up, the guy told me he had tried to open the pommel, but couldn't get it to unscrew. I'm just glad he didn't decide to try a wrench on it!
November 21, 2012, 12:16 AM
That would not have gone well at all! :what:
As you might have noticed, the tang is firmly and permanently riveted into the butt cap.
To get them off you have to grind away enough of the peening to get down to the threaded tang.
And then weld on a new tang bolt to put it back on again and re-peen it again.

Ithaca College School of Music provides an introductory operatic experience to all undergraduate voice majors either remotely interested in or fully interested in pursuing a career in this immensely complicated and rewarding field.
The Main-stage Opera is an annual collaboration between the School of Music and the Department of Theatre Arts. Open by audition to all students, it provides an opportunity for voice majors to be part of a complete operatic production. Here students gain performance experience through collaborating with fellow cast members, directors, conductors, designers, technicians, and stage management. Students develop a deeper understanding of the how a production is conceived, from the first vocal coaching to closing night. Performances are fully staged with costumes, lights, sets, and full orchestra. Recent productions have included Ravel's L'enfant et les sortileges, and the regional premiere of Rachel Portman's beautiful opera, The Little Prince in collaboration with the Ithaca Children's Choir, Monteverdi's Orfeo, and Mozart's Magic Flute, and Puccini's Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi and Chabrier's L'Etoile.
Beyond the main stage, there are plenty of other venues through which students have ample opportunities to develop and hone their skills. Acting and Movement for Singers, is a course that is unique to Ithaca College. Here students learn basic concepts of acting and stage deportment, including tumbling, falling, stage combat, as well as period gesture and dance. Much time is spent on improvisation, character study, monologues and arias.
Juniors, seniors and graduate students are eligible to audition for Opera Workshop, an in-depth overview of the art, the craft, and the field of opera in today's world. The initial goal of the class is to introduce students to all aspects of this art form that requires acute skills not only in singing, but also in acting, languages, movement, and much more. And ultimately, Opera Workshop will offer a variety of training in such areas as audition technique, interpretation, and scene study through performance opportunities, collaborative group projects, and invaluable feedback - the overall objective being to facilitate self-assessment and self-awareness and to prepare the student to enter a field that is at once both challenging and rewarding.

Ryan Phillippe may have been on hand to host the WWE Monday Night Raw event at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., but that didn't stop the actor from geeking out backstage after meeting one of his childhood idols: Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat. Phillippe, who co-hosted the event with his MacGruber costars Kristen Wiig and Will Forte, took a picture with the wrestler and also loaded up on WWE merchandise for his kids. The actor was also texting with his daughter Ava and checking up on her because she had a sore throat.
She may have broken up with her boyfriend, but that didn't stop Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi from partying with castmates like Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino at Tantra, a restaurant/club, in South Beach. "Most of the cast members were wearing aviator glasses and gaudy T-shirts while partying up a storm," a source who was dining at Tantra tells us. "They were dancing and drinking and carrying on. They looked like they were having a great time."
