2012 Gold Key Award in Recognition for Outstanding Design
Excellence in Remodeling for a Whole House, Arlington Heights
The size constraints of the original three bedroom ranch were more than the family of 6 could manage. A second floor addition and the remodeling of more than 75% of the main floor living area created a much more functional and enjoyable home. In order to create the much needed space without over sizing the house for its surroundings, the addition creates a story and a half look with much of the second floor built into a steep pitched roof with integrated shed dormers. The second floor has a master bedroom with a walk in closet and a master bath with a large custom tiled shower, two additional bedrooms and a hall bath for the kids. One of the bedrooms was for three boys so it was important the room was built large enough for each one to have their own space. The colors used for the kids bedrooms and bath are all tied together and give a fun kid friendly feel to the spaces, especially the custom tile shower with blue penny round tiles that seem to resemble bubbles. The first floor was remodeled to accommodate the new stair to the second floor and to open up the floor plan by making use of the existing bedroom space. By tearing out one of the bedrooms, we were able to make a much larger eat in kitchen, which was a huge addition, as a designated eating area was lacking in the original house. The kitchen maximizes space with tall upper cabinets and a working island while still maintaining all the original windows for ample natural light. The wall between the living room and previous master bedroom was opened up to create a den for the kids to play in and watch TV off the formal living room area. A small addition for a mudroom with cubbies creates a place for the family to stay organized as they head in or out of the house

Excellence in Remodeling for a Kitchen, Arlington Heights
For this homeowner, the small eat-in kitchen just did not offer enough space. By building a ten foot addition off the kitchen and dining area, the kitchen now flows with the rest of the house and offers multiple functions for the once small kitchen. The new space, not only functions as a kitchen, but has a built in bar area, a large island with breakfast bar and ample space for informal dining. Black and white was the driving force in the selections for this kitchen. Custom white shaker cabinets contrasted against Absolute Black honed granite around the perimeter are flip flopped on the island which has a dark espresso stain and a Calcutta Quartzite counter. The contrast on the island creates a focal point for the room. With several industrial inspired stainless stools around one end, it is the ideal gathering place. The black and white theme is carried through to the backsplash, which is predominantly white subway tiles set flush to the counters with 1" accents of glass, metal or granite set throughout. A combination of drawers and doors and a few extras, such as the hidden utility storage behind the fridge, maximize the storage for this kitchen. A custom built in banquette creates both seating and storage for the informal dining area and creates a cozy and efficient area for the family to gather for meals. Finally, the hardwood floors that were refinished a dark walnut stain to contrast the white cabinets, continue through the main floor of the house making the kitchen addition seem like it had always been there

Excellence in Remodeling for a Kitchen, Arlington Heights
This kitchen had great potential but lacked efficiency of space and an outdated look. By taking out the soffits, rearranging several of the appliances and maximizing the cabinet space, we were able to update this kitchen and make it everything the owner desired. Custom cabinetry was utilized to maximize every inch of the small kitchen. An efficient pantry cabinet, taller upper cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling and ease of access to all of the blind corner cabinets created added storage without adding square footage. An integrated hutch was also designed with seeded glass cabinet fronts to display decorative china and glassware and elevate the formality of the kitchen and dining area. A custom tile backsplash with a granite accent over the cook top tied the whole look together.
2012 Silver Key Award in Recognition for Outstanding Design
Excellence in New Construction for a Custom Home, Arlington Heights
This custom home was designed to be the owner's dream house. Being located in the historic neighborhood of downtown Arlington Heights and having a mixture of historic styles as neighbors, it was important to make this new home fit with the historic character of the neighborhood. A full front porch, detached garage and exterior details helped to integrate the house into its surroundings. The level of detail is not limited to the exterior, but flows inside where care was taken to create each room with custom details. The main floor has a formal entry with a two story stairway, an office and a dining room that create a more historic feel to the layout of the front of the home. However, floor plan opens up as you move towards the back of the house where the kitchen and informal dining area flow into the great room with a sunroom and deck off the back of the house. Custom cabinetry, built-ins and crown molding continue the level of detail displayed throughout the entire home. It was very important to the owner that a bit of the original house that was torn down be preserved, so the leaded glass transoms were reused as a framed decorative element separating the kitchen from the informal dining area. A mudroom with built in cubbies, storage and a half bath create an informal entry for the family from the detached garage. With dark wide plank hardwood floors throughout the house, the first floor flows right into the second floor as you ascend the custom staircase. The second floor houses three bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry room and a master suite with walk in closets, large master bath with custom tiled shower and claw foot tub, and a small private balcony. The basement was finished to create a playroom for the kids, a second entertaining area with built in bar and a guest bedroom and bath. The level of finish and detail was continuous throughout the house with two carpenter built mantles, five built-ins, custom cabinetry, and decorative trim details.

Excellence in Remodeling for a Kitchen, Barrington Hills
Though the overall dimensions of the space did not change, the design maximizes the available space and adds a sense of elegance to this traditional kitchen. Custom white recessed cabinets are given a traditional touch with decorative moldings, full overlay and a large crown molding. Wood valances over the built in refrigerator and sink along with a paneled wood range hood, create a continuous crown around the ceiling of the room. The center island is both decorative and functional. The slightly curved counter softens the ends which house open storage on one side and a single seat on the other. A large awning window replaced the two casements over the sink to create an uninterrupted view of the backyard and let lots of natural light in to brighten up the kitchen. A mixture of natural stone and glass tile were used to create a custom backsplash and the diagonal inset over the cook top picks up on the diagonal set of the new wide plank hardwood floors.
2011 Gold Key Awards:
2011 Gold Key Award for Excellence in Remodeling
Starting with an original Tudor-style home from the 1920s, it was of great importance to the owner that the character and charm of the original home be maintained throughout the remodel and new addition. Consistency in the details between the old and new parts of the home was crucial and carried out through the trim profiles, doors, custom arches and floor finishes.
2012 Gold Key Winner in Category of New Home Construction under 3500 square feet
We were first approached by the client eight years ago to build a new home. The timing was not right for them, so the project was postponed. They contacted us again two-and-a-half years ago to look into remodeling their existing home or building a new home on the same lot. It was quickly decided that their design needs could not be realized by remodeling their existing home. So began the design process for creating a new home to sit on that site that met all their needs.
2011 Silver Key Awards:
2011 Silver Key Award for Excellence in Remodeling: Kitchens under $75,000 per Unit
The original kitchen was confined to a small space, which resulted in a poor design, lack of storage and under-utilized space. To overcome this problem, the kitchen was opened up to both the dining room and living room, creating a much larger combined space. By removing the soffits, the custom cabinets could extend to the ceiling, creating additional storage space without adding square footage to the kitchen.
2011 Silver Key Award for Excellence in New Construction: Custom Home Under 3500 Sq Feet
The clients approached us to help them find the right property on which to build a new home. After looking at several properties, the lot was chosen in downtown Arlington Heights. Because we do most of our work in Arlington Heights, we were able to assist the client in acquiring the lot at a reduced cost, which they were then able to put back into the home they were going to build.
Despite its smaller size, it fulfills the needs of the client perfectly. The majority of the house functions on the first floor, with only two guest rooms and a guest bathroom on the second floor. Collecting all the necessary functions on the first floor, allows the clients desire to age in place to be met without incorporating an elevator in the design.
A lot of the inspiration for this home came from Sarah Susanka's book, "The Not So Big House." The design intent was to create a smaller home that has the look and feel on the inside that is much larger. This, the owner believes, was achieved and they are very happy with the end result and absolutely love their new home.

SKERRIES' promotion back to rugby's All-Ireland League has been one of the big Fingal sporting stories of the year, and they achieved their goal with a lot of help from young winger Kevin McGrath. The 19year-old, in his first full season with the senior team, was simply a revelation, his great pace and strength ensuring that he finished the season as the club's top try scorer. It was in the crucial round robin series against the other provincial winners that Kevin really came of age, scoring in each of the three matches.

Indeed, there are people in the industry who fret that all of the time that EDC is believed to save at the end of a trial is actually spent at the start. That's when what seems like a simple paper protocol is rendered into computer code. Consultants can do that rendering, as can contract research organizations, as can technology suppliers. It hardly matters. It eats time no matter who does it.
Is there a better way? Fast Track Systems says it has one. The company estimates that errors related to clinical trial protocols alone cost the industry $710 million annually. The company has a robust clinical trial consulting practice upon which a software application, TrialSpace Designer (TSD), was based. There are modules for contract research organizations and grants management.
Fast Track's CEO, Ed Seguine, came to Fast Track from Lilly, where he guided the drug maker's venture capital arm. Seguine notes that the TSD software has moved from just being an adaptation of clinical trial protocols written in Microsoft Word. "We've extended the model of being able to author protocols to be able to capture information that is used in other workflow streams," Seguine says, citing not only EDC but also statistical plans and operational setup activities.
In much the way that personal tax-planning software can ask a series of questions and generate a battle plan, TrialSpace Designer helps users avoid common mistakes and adhere to industry- or company-specific guidelines that have been validated by Fast Track's database.
The idea is to know whether a particular component of a trial is within the norm or an outlier. Often, Seguine says, teams add elements to trials without being able to assess their impact. "These productivity investments that you're making are generally predicated on efficiency. That's all dependent on doing the same activities and knowing where to focus. If you just do EDC in isolation, it will help you do things," he says. "But it doesn't help you do the right things."
As an example, he proposes that a particular protocol called for five electrocardiograms for each patient. Is that high? Low? The Fast Track application and database can help. As such, it can be a yardstick that measures not whether your trial is the right approach, but whether it's within industry benchmarks.
That basic rationale behind any element of a trial, Seguine says, can be obscured in all the debate and effort to deploy EDC and other clinical technologies. "Actual adoption rates languished for years and years," Seguine says of EDC. "Now they are starting to pick up. Some companies are making big moves. Our tool is a caboose to that. It makes no sense to say you can use metadata if you don't have a platform to make use of that metadata. You have this giant chasm between translating information imprisoned in a paper document to all of these new technology platforms."
Lilly is a happy customer. Stephen Ruberg, director of medical information sciences at the Indiana company, is on record as saying: "At Lilly, the concept of leveraging promising new technologies and business models is embedded into the way we conduct business on a daily basis. We have had an excellent partnership with Fast Track in moving from beta testing of TrialSpace Designer to our current work on authoring protocols. We see great potential for TrialSpace Designer to address process challenges and costly inefficiencies in many downstream activities such as setting up data management systems and populating our clinical trial registry."
Lately, Fast Track has used TSD to define a clinical trial protocol, statistical plan and operational details — and export all that according to the CDISC operational data model (ODM) standard. From there, Fast Track reports, the exported data can be used to set up an EDC-based trial.
Fast Track has successfully tested that approach with several major technology companies. The company has validated that the optimized study from its TSD plan was faithfully represented in the EDC system. One last point: Fast Track believes such a strategy anticipates likely future CDISC-oriented policy changes at the FDA and delivers on much of the original promise of EDC.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Silversmith Hotel Chicago
Wonderful, comfortable stay!
This hotel is one of the best I've ever stayed at, and I travel a lot. The location is very central to everything, the staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful without being fake, and my room was beautiful, large, and comfortable. The bed was literally the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. As a woman travelling alone, I felt completely safe here. The lobby is removed from the street, and the nightly cheesecake is a nice perk. I'll definitely stay here any time I'm in Chicago. Worth the price. Oh, and the room was really quiet, even though the hotel faces the El train!
Loved it
My family and I stayed at the Silversmith for the first time over Memorial Day Weekend. There were 6 of us so we required 2 rooms - The staff was able to put us in rooms right across the hall from eachother. They were so helpful and pleasant. The location is great! The rooms were beautiful. There was a nice little breakfast in the morning and delightful treats at night!!! (Mon.-Thurs.) We would definitely highly recommend The Silversmith!!!
We loved it!
A large, comfortable room; a wonderful bathroom with a whirlpool tub, the most gracious and generous staff I have ever seen in a hotel. Yes, there are some things the Silversmith doesn't have, such as a top-notch restaurant and a breathtaking view. But the room, the staff, and the affordability more than make up for it. We eagerly want to return.
Friendly Staff, Beautiful Room
My 9-year-old daughter & I stayed at the Silversmith for 2 nights. Everyone was friendly & helpful. They asked how our visit was going & offered both suggestions & directions. The room was spacious & we especially liked the complimentary desserts in the evening. (After a full day, it was nice to "hang out" at the hotel in the evening.) We will definitely stay here again.
Absolutely wonderful hotel
This was our first time staying at the Silversmith. What an absolutely wonderful experience! The staff could NOT have been any nicer. And 'real' nice, not 'business' nice. The rooms were so clean I was absolutely comfortable walking barefoot (how many hotels can you say that about?). The high ceilings gave the comfortable rooms an even more spacious feel. The decor was classy and sophisticated, yet still comfortable. My husband and I stayed there for a week along with our two small children (2 & 4) and it was such a great experience that we were all sad to leave. The only thing that wasn't absolutely perfect was the view from the room. We looked out on a very nearby building's fire escapes. But that really is a minor detail. We will definitely be staying at the Silversmith again. I would highly recommend this hotel to absolutely anyone and feel completely confident that they would enjoy it as much as we did.
Our second stay at the Silversmith
Our second stay in two years at this hotel proved that the first time wasn't a fluke. Our room was as beautiful and spotless as ever and the service just as unobtrusive and courteous. A short walk to the Art Institute, Marshall Field's, the Ford Theatre, and the museum campus on the lakefront means you can let the valet take your car and not have to bother with it again till you have to leave (sadly!) We love it and wouldn't stay anywhere else in Chicago.
Absolutely Fabulous!!!
This hotel is absolutely fabulous! Spacious rooms, incredible service and a great location was everything I was looking for during my trip to Chicago. My stay at The Silversmith exceeded all of my expectations, I highly recommend it!
Great hotel
I've stayed at the Silversmith twice on business. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and very nice furnishings. Service has always been excellent. It's little touches like the free coffee, cheesecake and cookies in the evening that make for a nice stay at the Silversmith. The restaurant on the street level is nothing to rave about, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I've stayed in other hotels in the loop and my preference is to stay at the Silversmith.
Enjoyed my stay at the Silversmith
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Silversmith in February 2003. The room was quite nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, only a few steps from the El and easy access to all the attractions. My window was only a short distance from the El, but was well soundproofed, so I didn't notice the noise
Hidden Jewel
This hotel is located in the Loop, with easy access to many attractions. It is possible to walk within a block of this hotel and not even notice it.
The staff is extremely courteous. Rooms are decorated in the Frank Lloyd Wright style, with high ceilings. We stayed in suite for a rate that was the same or less than other downtown hotel rooms.
I would recommend a room on a high floor due to the fact the El tracks run in front of the hotel.

Chip Lamca was sick. He was in a foreign country. He was kidnapped. All he had were his wits and a Swiss army-like tool.
Thirteen years later, he's going back and taking a group of Grand Canyon University students.
Glendale residents Chip and Julie moved to Peru in 2000 with their four children, fulfilling a lifelong dream to serve as missionaries. They lived in a good-sized northwestern city, Trujillo, and spent their days helping natives.
The family left South America after eight years and moved to Glendale, but "our hearts have always been in Peru," Julie said.
They return often and, in recent years, have included local college students in their goodwill efforts.
The 'kidnapping'
It had been a long day. Chip was sick and had spent the whole day in the hospital. The real scare, though, was looming.
Outside the hospital and alone, Chip waved down a taxi, got in and gave directions to the guest house where he was staying. The taxi went the wrong way. Chip knew the city and told the driver he was going the opposite direction.
"Why don't you just shut up?" the taxi driver said, dodging the question.
Something was off. Peruvians were kind people. They never addressed others this way, especially a customer. Chip persisted.
"Turn around. We're going the wrong way," Chip told the driver, but the driver evaded the question again.
Express kidnappings, as they were called, were on the rise in Peru. Taxi drivers would take passengers to remote locations where their partners would surround the cab and take any valuables.
Chip wracked his brain. What could he do? He was sick after all, and didn't know if he could fight off a large group of people.
He pulled out a small, contractible tool from his pocket, opened it and pushed it in the driver's side, stopping short of stabbing him.
He'd been taught the self-defense technique during missionary training.
The driver slowed down, cursing at Chip. The vehicle didn't stop, though. Chip took the opportunity. He opened the door and rolled out of the slowly moving vehicle.
Now Chip is a good-sized guy. At more than 6 feet, he towers above most Peruvians who average 5 feet, 4 inches, and he weighs 250 pounds.
Chip got to his feet and started running. He didn't stop until he reached a pharmacy, where he ran inside to safety.
The worst part, he said, was he still had to take a cab to get to the guest house. He got in the car and gave strict instructions — no back roads or shortcuts, all major roads.
Missionary life
The dangerous cab trip certainly wasn't a normal day for Chip and Julie in Peru. In fact, Chip looks back on that evening with a sense of nonchalance. He insists he was only "sort of" kidnapped, and that the events weren't that grave.
Rather, Peruvians were supportive, including during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the war on terror that followed.
Chip stood in a cafe, staring at the TV as he learned U.S. troops had entered Afghanistan. An old man came up to Chip, and placed his arm on Chip's shoulder.
"Gringo, I remember Pearl Harbor and I remember Hiroshima. They are going to get (those terrorists)," the man said.
It was these words of encouragement and sympathy that made living in Peru so wonderful, the Lamcas explained.
"There were hard days. There were days where I was homesick, but now I'm homesick for Peru, which is even stronger," Chip said.
The Lamcas spent their days helping natives, building wells, providing medical care, and helping local churches.
Their goal was to spread Christianity, but they also wanted to provide for human needs.
While living in Trujillo, Chip and Julie learned that women often had to lock their children in the house all day while they were at work.
The Lamcas, with help from a local church, provided child care for the mothers. They supplied snacks for the children — more than what the children were receiving at home — and other amenities, such as toothbrushes.
"You saw the simple things you were able to do make a huge impact in peoples' lives," Chip said.
The couple made sure to involve their children in their missionary work and Peruvian life.
"They felt part of it, that they were doing something substantial from an early age," Chip said.
Bryan was 12, Matthew was 9, Katie was 5, and Thomas was just 4.
One day, Chip took Katie and Thomas to the market. A group of Americans was visiting from Texas, and Chip wanted the kids to have the opportunity to speak Spanish and translate.
The Americans wanted to purchase a sweater, so Thomas, who was about 5 years old by then, began negotiating. The saleswoman said the sweater was 16 soles.
Thomas held up 10 fingers.
"Diez," the 5-year-old said.
"This lil' tiny gringo was bargaining with her," Chip said.
The woman told him how good the quality was. It was made from alpaca.
Thomas insisted. He showed his 10 fingers again.
The woman brought the price down. Fourteen? Twelve? Thomas still said no.
Finally, the two settled on 10 soles. The young boy gave her a thumbs up.
Thomas later told Chip he wasn't bargaining. He just didn't know any numbers past 10 in Spanish.
It was this type of upbringing that made the children feel like they belonged, Chip said.
The family would later do missionary work in Ecuador, and Bryan, who was then a senior in high school, would serve food to those who lived in a city garbage dump.
The family remains close even though all the children have grown up. Thomas, the young negotiator, is a senior in high school and the only sibling that lives at home.
Chip has been teaching Christian studies at Grand Canyon University since 2009.
However, the family has never forgotten about their time in South America. They began working with the pastor of a Peoria church that helps fund missionary trips to Peru and other places abroad.
James Hayes, a pastor at the Southern Peoria Baptist Church, is the founder of the Vine and Branches, a non-profit that supports such missions.
"Their hearts were in Peru and I think that their kids' hearts were in Peru," Hayes said.
And thus, another chapter began.
In 2011, the Lamcas found a way to travel "home," serve the people of Peru and involve GCU students in the process. They took seven college students on a mission trip to Peru.
The family has built on that success each year since. This spring, 14 Grand Canyon students will join the Lamcas for a 10-day mission trip to Trujillo.
"I think a lot of people think 'Oh, I could never go on a mission trip or I could never leave the country,'" Julie said
The opposite is true. Anyone can use their unique talents to serve, she said.
One student knew how to massage, and she taught Peruvian women how to give themselves facials with an avocado.
"These ladies just ate it up. It was the first time they were treated like they were special. They left with their heads held high," Julie said.
Hayes is excited to see the impact GCU students will make on Peruvians and vice versa.
"When people have the opportunity like Chip and Julie did, and travel abroad and spend time with indigenous people, it will change their life. It will change their perspective," Hayes said.
That's what GCU junior Justin Halls hopes for. He completed a missionary trip to Mexico in high school. "It changes me from the inside out," Halls said.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Next month in San Diego, CHI will present "Now Generation Sequencing" in which discussions about targeted resequencing will be front and center. This mixture of molecular biology and sophisticated computer analysis hones in on genomic regions of interest, interrogating multiple genetic sites. Enabling the detection of rare mutations and hard-to-reach corners of the genome, it takes advantage of low sample-input requirements. Moreover, these strategies allow areas of interest to be identified through genome-wide association studies while sequencing genes and candidate regions.
Using next-generation sequencing for clinical diagnostic purposes offers unique challenges due to the complexity of the technology and data analysis issues. Presentations at "Now Generation Sequencing" will discuss how to streamline technical processes and bioinformatics analyses to rapidly move this technology into the clinic.
The identification of the genes for extremely rare disorders was extremely difficult until the development of targeted approaches for sequencing partial components of the entire genome. Classic human gene mapping studies required large pedigrees of many affected families in which the association between the disease and the candidate gene could be narrowed down through its linkage with such markers as single nucleotide polymorphisms and microsatellites.
Today the availability of powerful computer analysis combined with automated sequencing technology has allowed a brute-force approach to identification of the genetic region of interest. The large size of the entire human genome, however, requires a method of selective sequencing. Since the exome or coding regions comprise only 30 megabases, or 1% of the total human genetic makeup, a second-generation approach targeting this select class would make the task manageable and more cost-friendly.
Sarah Ng, a graduate student in genome sciences at the University of Washington, has been involved in a project to demonstrate proof of principle for targeted capture and massive parallel sequencing, using the Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome as a model. Success in the endeavor spurred the team on to nail down the location of the Miller Syndrome, a previously unmapped disorder.
"For the first time, we have pursued candidate gene identification through exome sequencing of a small number of unrelated affected individuals," says Ng.
The team's approach requires the enrichment of exomes by hybridization of DNA from shotgun libraries to microarrays with synthesized DNA probes complementary to the human exome sequence. In this project, four libraries, each consisting of broken-up genomic DNA fragments from a subject with the condition, were hybridized to two custom 244 K Agilent microarrays, and the captured exomic DNA from the affected individuals was entirely sequenced on the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform.
This data revealed a large number of variants in each individual, which could be subjected to additional filtering techniques to identify the sequences responsible for the disease. The candidate gene, which codes for an enzyme in pyrimidine biosynthesis, is referred to as DHODH. Mutations in this gene were then identified in a number of unrelated Miller Syndrome families.
Prior to the work of the University of Washington team, it was unclear whether Miller Syndrome was dominant or recessive since large pedigrees had never been observed. This unknown, combined with the decreased reproductive ability of individuals with this condition, greatly restricted the options available for its analysis.
"We have demonstrated the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of this strategy," says Ng. "This approach is likely to become a standard tool for the discovery of genes underlying rare monogenic disorders."
Therapy for genetically based diseases invariably requires a solid understanding of the molecular basis of the condition—phenylketonuria being a classic example. This knowledge can now be put to use, although the rareness of the condition may stand in the way of efforts to develop a workable treatment.
febit biomed is using its HybSelect™ automated technology to investigate new cancer markers as well as other issues pertaining to the isolation of disease-related genes.
febit's targeted resequencing technology is a microarray-based sequence capture strategy in which the entire genome is scaled down to manageable portions that can be used in focused investigations. It consists of three steps—hybridization of a genomic library to a Geniom biochip, washing and elution, and finally sequencing and analysis. Working with 10% of the genome (300 million bases) the company scales down further to focus on clinically relevant regions. "Currently our main interest is in the area of oncogenes and oncology," says Peer Stähler, CSO.
febit uses barcoding for the indexing of samples. This is accomplished by adding identifying base sequences onto the PCR primers, which allows samples to be identified and followed, making automation of sequencing possible.
"We are currently conducting a large-scale analysis of cancer-related genes," explains Stähler. "This includes the breast cancer genes BRCA-1 and -2. We can analyze more than 60 samples in one run."

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
The Center for Cancer Computational Biology (CCCB) at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute selected the CLC Genomics Server, CLC bio's enterprise platform for next-generation sequence analysis. The decision follows a significant increase in the number of researchers who are getting into high-throughput sequencing, says CCCB, which provides analytical support services for labs and researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
"How are we going to support an increasing number of molecular biologists and clinicians who don't have their own bioinformatics resources? That's really what started our evaluation and why we eventually selected CLC bio," says Mick Correll, CCCB associate director. "By giving individual groups access to our central installation of the CLC Genomics Server, they can leverage a powerful enterprise platform while only needing to invest in their own desktop clients."
CLC Genomics Server includes desktop applications, server software for doing calculations on existing or new central computers, and centralized data sharing and data management. The enterprise platform includes an Application Programming Interface (API) for integration and custom plug-in development.
Clients using the enterprise platform have the choice of using CLC Genomics Workbench, which gives the user full control of all bioinformatics analyses on the Genomics Server; a toolbox of CLC Server Command Line Tools allowing advanced users to incorporate server-access in scripts and integrations; or Web interface for functions such as browsing data, uploading/downloading data, accessing/editing meta-data on data, and doing data-queries.
Customers include the J. Craig Venter Institute, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Veridex, and University of California, Berkeley.

Famous United Airlines Gripe Sparks Startup Idea
By Sarah E. Needleman
Musician Dave Carroll made headlines in 2009 when he posted a video to YouTube complaining about how his guitar was broken during a United Airlines flight and the airline company's poor response.
Now the man behind Time Magazine's "2010 Top Ten Most Viewed YouTube Videos," United Breaks Guitars, is working on a startup that aims to help connect disgruntled consumers with businesses so they can work out their differences.
Gripevine.com is a free website where consumers are invited to post complaints, or "gripes," about shopping and customer-service experiences. For example, a consumer recently posted a gripe claiming that a national bus company failed to dispatch a bus to a scheduled stop or provide assistance in finding an alternative route. Users can also post compliments and reviews.
Once a gripe is posted, Gripevine notifies the business that the complaint targets. It uses proprietary search technology to identify an appropriate contact at the business, such as a senior manager with the ability to take action, as opposed to a front-line customer-service agent. "This is our secret sauce," says Mr. Carroll, who co-founded the Web startup with entrepreneur Richard Hue of Toronto.
When notified, the senior manger is encouraged to claim a free company page on Gripevine. By doing so, he or she can access contact information for the person who planted the gripe in order to try and resolve the matter. Mr. Carroll says about 100 companies have so far claimed pages on Gripevine. Susan Stribling, a spokeswoman for Coca-Cola, confirmed that the Atlanta-based beverage giant took this step recently in response to two gripes posted on Gripevine. But she added that the company tends to see and react to customer issues mainly on its own website, coca-colacompany.com, and major social-media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.
Gripevine, which launched last year, has raised $2 million in seed money from angel investors.
The 15-employee startup is now gearing up to introduce its first paid features later this month: social-media-monitoring and complaint-management services. Starting at $9.99 a month, the services will help businesses avoid public-relations nightmares by identifying disgruntled customers before any serious flame-throwing takes place, says Mr. Carroll, 44 years old.
He knows firsthand what that means. Three and a half years ago, Mr. Carroll posted the first of three videos to YouTube alleging that United Airlines baggage workers mishandled his $3,500 guitar at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. When he arrived at his destination, the instrument was broken, and in the video Mr. Carroll claims that the airline refused to compensate him for the damage.
The clip, which shows Mr. Carroll singing about the incident while playing a new guitar, has been viewed more than 12.6 million times. That led to him being featured in a 2010 Time magazine article, and this year he wrote a book about the altercation that was published by Hay House Inc. (It's called "United Break Guitars: The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media.")
The musician turned entrepreneur says the airline offered him $1,200 in flight vouchers and $1,200 in cash about five days after the video appeared on YouTube. But he says he asked the airline to instead give the money to another unsatisfied customer.
Charles Hobart, a spokesman for United Airlines, said via email "we regret that we did not provide the experience customers expect from us to Dave Carroll. His video made us more keenly aware that we needed to be more accessible to customers to resolve their issues quickly, and we have instituted a host of changes to enable us to do so. We have also taken steps, including being engaged on Twitter and Facebook, to ensure we are a part of the social networking conversation with our customers."
Mr. Carroll isn't alone in his pursuit to help consumers and businesses settle their differences. For example, TalkBin.com is a two-year-old service that lets customers send anonymous text messages to a store's manager with complaints or compliments. Merchants can respond back immediately. The Mountain View, Calif., startup was acquired by Google last year.
In case you're wondering, Gripevine has already gotten a taste of its own medicine. A user of the site recently posted a gripe about it. The complaint reads: "I was in the process of planting my 1st gripe and got all the way to the 2nd Step, only to see that the only choices for countries are Canada and the U.S. I put in all that work for nothing!"
Mr. Carroll, who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, says the site is working on expanding overseas.

For the Lamas family, the Night of Lights holiday festival at The University of Texas-Pan American Friday afforded a rare opportunity to get out for a pleasant and entertaining evening.
Oneida Lamas, an Edinburg native, attended because her daughter, Maria Villanueva, 11, performed with the LBJ Elementary School Choir. She and her family stayed because of the atmosphere.
"This is great, and it's nice seeing all of the schools together," said Lamas. "I really loved the posada because of what it represents. It's getting closer to Christmas, and it's good to come out and enjoy the weather."
In addition to the Posada, a folk play depicting the search for shelter by Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem, there was also a visit by Santa and Mrs. Claus, a computer lab staffed by elves who helped young children e-mail Santa their Christmas lists, school choirs and musical groups, refreshments and a spectacular fireworks show.
In fact, the second annual event offered something for everyone, said organizers.
"This is a great event bringing together families and the community," said Edinburg Mayor Joe Ochoa. "We're looking forward for this event to grow as the years go by."
Campus police estimated nearly 5,000 people attended the event. Nearly 1,000 were at the posada, an annual tradition in many Latin American countries and among U.S. Hispanics.
Among the other performers were the First United Methodist Church Belles of Edinburg and Ballet Folklorico Internacional. The Edinburg elementary school choirs included Robert E. Lee, Freddy Gonzalez, Lyndon B. Johnson, Canterbury, San Carlos, De Escandon, Linda Treviño, De La Viña, De Zavala and Eisenhower.
A gingerbread house contest drew 10 entries. Beth Ruiz and Dana Villarreal won first in the adult division, and the Austin Middle School eighth-grade "Discovery Team" (Lori Aleman, Elaine Cadena, Jonathan Reyes, Hugo Salazar and Nallely Salinas) of Edinburg was tops in the children's category.
And, what holiday spectacular would be complete without a visit from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus?
"He's real nice," said six-year-old Angelo Salinas. "I told him I wanted a pool set, and I've been good, so I think I'm going to get it."
With the help of UTPA engineering students, children also used the Internet to send letters to Santa, who immediately provided responses through his "Top Elf."
"From the responses I saw, I know that Santa wants lots of milk and cookies on the table when he arrives," said Lou Servantes of Career Placement Services, who helped coordinate the effort.
Engineering students estimated 100 children had written Santa in the first two hours of the event.
Then there were the fireworks. For nearly 20 minutes, the mild evening sky was illuminated with a variety of colors, drawing plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" from onlookers. La Joya High School Mariachis led the way to the fireworks area near the track and field.
Night of Lights was jointly sponsored by The City of Edinburg, the Edinburg Economic Development Corporation, the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce and The University of Texas-Pan American.
UTPA Vice President for External Affairs Roland S. Arriola said the university would like to see the event grow each year.
"This is our way of reacquainting everyone to the university," Arriola said. "In 2002, we'll celebrate our 75th anniversary Valley-wide, so we're taking steps now to build up to that crescendo."

Here's what is obvious – the Republicans have had their hand forced by outside circumstances and Steele is one result of that. The vote was an acknowledgment of what everyone knows; the GOP isn't going win elections or be a national party doing the things that they have been doing.
The Republican party – like America – isn't static. They were the party of Lincoln then Teddy Roosevelt then Eisenhower and Nixon and Reagan and now Bush. That's a wide swath of popularity and some major divergences in ideology, too.
Acting as though they are now and forever the party of Bush alone is a form of denial. It won't help win elections in the future. This is why the how and what of Republican change are worth watching and evaluating honestly and with as little bias as one can muster.
There's a difference between a cynical move and a practical move. There may be some Republicans who want to keep the party the same one Rove / Bush / Cheney led. They are fools and they lost yesterday. They were defeated by a group who realize that the GOP needs to reinvent itself. Nobody knows what form it will take yet but we'd be fools to allow ourselves to just pretend it's not happening.

someone would call camping "tactical waiting" but it sucks so much if they camp with lmg's or gl's *grrrrr-hate-them* for example -.-
if you're sniping it's another point - ok, there're many great no scoper out there - but in my opinion if you want to snipe you're looking for a good spot and stay there, if you think somebody knows where you're hiding, just change your spot. but can you say to someone who does it like this, he is a camper?

U.S. Missile Defense: Strategy for the Future
Paul G. Kaminski
Undersecretary of Defense
Wall Street Journal Letters to the Editor
30 Jan 1997
In an editorial-page article on the Chinese missile threat, Richard Fisher of the Heritage Foundation purports that the "Clinton Administration is generally averse to robust missile defenses" (Dec. 30). On the contrary, this administration has a highly robust, multi-faceted national security strategy for countering missile threats. To support this strategy, we are executing seven major R&D ballistic missile defense programs and a broad technology effort that will cost more than $15 billion over the next five years.
Our first priority has been to produce new systems and upgrade existing systems to defend against the "here and now" short-to-medium-range missile threat to our deployed forces around the world. Since Desert Storm we have fielded improved versions of the HAWK and Patriot air defense systems and are developing still more effective defenses, such as the Army's third-generation Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) system and the Navy area defense system. We are also executing, in partnership with our German and Italian NATO allies, a program that will provide 360-degree protection for our maneuver ground forces.
We are also pushing hard to develop systems to defend against the emerging threat posed by longer-range missiles. All three services have allocated a sizable portion of their modernization budgets to develop what we call upper-tier and boost-phase intercept defenses, including the Army's theater high-altitude area defense system for our ground forces, the Navy's theater-wide system for our forces afloat and ashore, and the Air Force's airborne laser system to engage and destroy boosting theater ballistic missiles.
To counter future potential threats against the U.S. from rogue and accidental or unauthorized launches of strategic missiles, we have shifted from a technology readiness to a deployment readiness posture. This means that by the year 2000, sufficient elements of an initial national missile defense system will have been developed to permit the U.S. to deploy the system at any time with three years' notice. This approach will give us the capability to deploy technologies, add more capable elements to the existing system and better match our defenses to the threat in the long term.
And finally, we are improving technological support to our missile defense development programs--making wholesale upgrades to our base systems, providing increased funding for demonstrations of new technology, and advancing some of our basic underlying technologies to provide a hedge against future threats. The department has allocated more than $1 billion over the next five years to support this effort.

When more than 75 NFL scouts, coaches and personnel men arrived at Florida's pro day Tuesday, all wanted to see if safety Ahmad Black could step up and improve on his poor workout at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Unfortunately, Black was unable to improve much on his Combine performance, again failing to test as well as he played in college. He again ran two poor 40-yard dashes-- 4.75 and 4.78 seconds--but was able to improve his vertical jump to 36½ inches and his three-cone drill to 6.75 seconds.
In position drills Tuesday, Black did not look good or bad, just like a solid athlete who can't run. He did show more quickness than speed, which might help his draft stock a bit. At one point, Black was considered a third-round prospect. He now could fall into the sixth or seventh round.
Safety Will Hill had an up-and-down day. He did not run particularly well (4.66 and 4.72 seconds in his 40s) but looked quick and explosive in most of the Combine-style drills and showed good long speed in position drills. However, he looked stiff in drills and struggled to flip his hips to change directions and run with receivers. Like Black, Hill could fall to the end of the draft. Hill should've stayed in school.
None of the Florida offensive linemen jumped out Tuesday, but offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert did show why he is such an intriguing prospect and likely will move into the third round. Gilbert has elite size and showed good footwork to slide and shuffle nicely.
Center Mike Pouncey did well in his workout, but his arms measured at only 31 3/8 inches. That's short for an NFL offensive lineman.
No one would have predicted that defensive end/outside linebacker Justin Trattou would have had the best workout of the day. Trattou definitely looked the part as an outside linebacker for a 3-4 scheme, weighing in at 250 pounds. He ran well--40 times of 4.74 and 4.71 seconds--and was even more impressive in that his 10-yard splits (1.66 and 1.64 seconds), excellent for an outside linebacker. Trattou then shined in defensive end and looked surprisingly smooth and fluid in linebacker drills. For a player considered an afterthought by many, he should stick in the NFL as a backup linebacker and core special teams player.

THEY HAD IT COMING: "Chicago" is singing anything but the blues: The big-screen adaptation of Bob Fosse's murderess musical swept the 75th annual Academy Awards, scoring six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones. The movie -- which was a frontrunner coming into Hollywood's Kodak Theatre with 13 nominations -- also was cited for Art Direction, Costume Design, Sound and Film Editing. The night's other big winner was the Holocaust drama "The Pianist," which picked up three major awards: Best Actor for Adrien Brody, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for Roman Polanski. Nicole Kidman was named Best Actress for her role as author Virginia Woolf in "The Hours"; Chris Cooper scooped the Best Supporting Actor award for "Adaptation." And rapper Eminem -- who skipped the ceremony -- won the prize for Best Original Song, "Lose Yourself," from "8 Mile." Meanwhile, despite 10 nominations, Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" was shut out of the winners' circle.
MUGGLE DELIVERY: J.K. Rowling, the author behind the "Harry Potter" franchise and one of Britain's wealthiest women, gave birth to a baby boy, David Gordon Rowling Murray, Sunday in Edinburgh, Scotland. Young David beat the newest "Harry Potter" volume by three months, Reuters noted. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the highly anticipated fifth book in Rowling's boy-wizard series, is due out June 21. Rowling's previous first marriage produced a daughter, Jessica, now 9; the author famously finished the first of her "Potter" books in cafes while baby Jessica was napping. Rowling married her second hubby -- anesthetist Neil Murray -- in a secret ceremony in December 2001.
SORRY MS. JACKSON: Lisa Marie Presley, 35, on the publicity trail to promote her musical debut "To Whom It May Concern," swears that her marriage to pop oddity Michael Jackson was genuine. "I absolutely fell in love with him," Presley says in a Rolling Stone cover story. "I was really in this lioness thing with him -- I wanted to protect him. Naive as hell. I never thought for a moment someone like him could actually use me." In the interview, Presley, the sole heir of rock legend Elvis Presley, admits that leaving her first husband, Danny Keough (with whom she has two children, Danielle, 13, and Ben, 10) for Jackson "was probably one of the bigger mistakes of my whole life."
REAL JOE MILLIONAIRE: ABC's newest "Bachelor" arrived Wednesday night and introduced the world to its latest catch: Andrew Firestone, the grandson of tire mogul Harvey Firestone. A University of San Diego grad, 27-year-old Andrew lives in San Francisco and works at a currency trading firm. An admitted "big wine freak," he spends time at his family's Santa Ynez Valley vineyard, where he expects someday to work full time. Although the two previous incarnations of the show failed to lead to the altar, Andrew claims he's ready to settle down. "I've done the things I've had to do -- moved, taken career chances -- all the things a single life requires," he says. "Now I'm looking forward to enjoying those successes with someone else."
A BIG 'DAY': Some 13 million fans tuned in to CBS's opening-night broadcast of Celine Dion's "A New Day," her live show slated for a three-year run at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in the brand new $95 million Colosseum theater, built especially for the French-Canadian chanteuse. The high-tech, high-gloss Caesars extravaganza -- staged by Cirque du Soleil veteran designer Franco Dragone -- features more than 50 dancers, singers and musicians plus a massive, stage-spanning $6 million LED screen adorned with doors and catwalks that allow an array of special effects. Dion is expected to earn a reported $100 million for the three-year gig. Her latest CD, "One Heart," also debuted this week.

Part of the Nike Skateboarding Eric Koston 2 Media Launch Experience included an extended sit-down with the man of the hour, Eric Koston, and the designer behind the sequel, Shawn Carboy. Both were ready and waiting to fill us in on the journey from Koston One to Koston 2, but this time around, we prepared a broad range of questions that didn't focus entirely on the shoe – mainly because we already talked about the design of the shoe back in October of 2012. So what could there be to talk about? There's some interesting info spilled by Koston and Carboy, so read on below.
So what could we talk about, if not completely about the Koston 2? Well, plenty, if you calculate in the whole "The Legend Grows" ad with Tiger Woods and other Nike A-Listers, being the "Michael Jordan" of skate, the history of Nike SB as a whole, the future of Nike SB inside and outside the walls in Beaverton. Wish we had more time to chat more, but we're confident that we'll cross paths again. Read our interviews below, starting with our chat with Eric Koston, and check out the Nike Koston 2 right now on Nikestore.com.
Indeed! Nice interview, nice guy and nice commercial. Big up EK, SN and Nike..
great piece! thanks SN !!! people need to appreciate you guys more for articles like this
Carboy using Copics! Almost everyone uses prismas, but I think Copics makes a much better product.

iPay Technologies Calls Growing Pains A Good Feeling
ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. -- To hear Kelli Schultz tell it, growing pains are nothing new at iPay Technologies.
So the company president--a veteran of the swift corporate sea changes of the dot-boom and bust years--said she's confident the Internet payment specialist can take this newest one in stride, even though it involves doubling her client base in one fell swoop.
In November, iPay signed a deal with Jack Henry & Associates to provide the gateway for Jack Henry's electronic bill payment solution, NetTeller PowerPay.
That brings 1,500 financial institutions into the fold as potential providers to end users of iPay's services, essentially doubling the existing client list of credit unions and community banks.
iPay Technologies was created in 2001 with about 150 client contracts purchased from a predecessor company that disbanded after the dot-com implosion of 2000, Schultz said.
Since then, another 1,300 or so clients have joined, and iPay Technologies now processes about 3 million payments a month for about a half-million end users, Schultz said. That volume, too, is expected to double as the Jack Henry client base comes on line.
iPay Technologies currently employs about 265 people at its home base in Elizabethtown, about 40 miles from Louisville. The company draws its workforce from the big city nearby and from even-more nearby Fort Knox, where military spouses provide an educated, particularly adaptable talent pool, Schultz said.
About 50 of those FTEs support product development life cycle, Schultz said, "everything from software design to programming to quality assurance. We have growing pains here, I guess, but we're so accustomed to it, it just seems normal. We hire crazies and find they either love it or hate it. If they love it, they're keepers."
Those "keepers" will help iPay Technologies take on a new challenge. The company provides end-to-end services, including call center, Schultz said, and essentially has been a turnkey provider.
"But Jack Henry is different," Schultz said. "For them, we've taken all the parts that make up a turnkey and break them into parts and parcels, so Jack Henry will have its own PowerPay platform as part of NetTeller up front, but the electronic remittance can use iPay from point to point in the back.
"We're building an interface between their front and back end systems to do that, and we already have the data warehouse, which is the difficult part, really. They can just brand it all and embed it in their core systems, which is their capability," the iPay Technologies
president said.
Looking at the broader picture, Schultz said she sees person-to-person payments and business services as the "two frontiers for credit unions," and sees particular potential in bill-pay and cash management for small businesses.
"That's one area where there's tremendous potential and not a lot of traction yet," she said, "and I'm not sure why."
Knowledge of their own membership might be one reason, Schultz said. She said when she raised the question at a recent user conference, she was told by many participants that they did not have commercial clients as members, or can't afford to invest in servicing their cash management and bill-pay needs.
"Well, I respectfully countered that they probably didn't realize how many small businesses and proprietorships they have in their own membership. I know it's a scary concept, since it requires investment and you're not really sure the business is there.
"But I'm one of them. I'm a member of my credit union and I'd much rather do business with my credit union than a bank, but I can't do that if my credit union doesn't acknowledge I'm there.
"I say, 'They're there,' and they'll bring you their commercial business if you open the door."

What I do when I don't write, and what I do when I do.
I never thought it could happen to me. A car full of cheerleaders was stranded by the side of the road. Not a one of them had the first idea of how to change a tire. I don't think they even knew what a spare tire was! It seems like such a basic thing to know, but no, none of them knew. Well, that's not entirely fair, one of them, a short blond, knew that there was such a thing as a spare tire, and had an idea it was in the trunk. But when she opened the trunk and didn't see it, she became very confused. They were all surprised when I pulled up the rug in the trunk, extracted the spare tire and the jack, untightened the lug nuts a tiny bit, jacked up the car, removed the lug nuts, pulled off the flat tire, put on the spare, replaced and tightened the lug nuts, lowered the car, tightened the lug nuts a little more, put the flat and the jack in the trunk, and closed it. The blond gave me ten bucks. I didn't see that coming, that's for sure!

What was your source for this garden project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo video instructions
What materials did you use? 1 large bunch, fresh kale from the garden (or farmer's market), a food dehydrator, sunflower butter, soy sauce, lemon juice, cider vinegar, hot sauce, and seasoned salt
What are you most proud of? I love how delicious, crispy, and tasty these are. They are also very easy to make and high in nutrients and fiber.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Using a food dehydrator makes these foolproof, but if you don't have one, or are in a hurry, you can also do them in a 300 F degree oven on cookie sheets, for about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully, as they brown quickly towards the end, and if that happens, they could develop a bitter taste.
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this! I just discovered kale and am a total convert now! :)
Just an update, I tried these tonight & they're really good!
I have been eating Kale all my life but never heard of dehydrating them. Thanks for the article, I will have to give it a try.
I made this during the holidays. Everyone loved it.
Looks like fun
