Israeli, Hamas activist killed in settlement attack; Hamas vows additional attacks inside Israel
One Israeli settler was killed and two others were moderately wounded in a shooting attack just before 8 P.M. (GMT1800) Friday evening near the West Bank city of Hebron.
An Israeli military source said two armed Palestinians had approached a solitary home near the Givat Harsina settlement. "Apparently they knocked on the door and when the father of the house opened it they shot at him and he was killed," the source said.
Someone inside the house shot back and killed one of the Palestinians, it said. The other escaped.
Hamas claimed the attack, saying it was carried out to avenge the demolition of homes, the closure on the territories and Israel's policy of assasinations. It also said that Hamas would continue attacks against the Israeli occupation.
Early in the day, Hamas rejected calls to stop attacks against Israeli targets. "Hamas officially informed Egypt of its final answer: our position is against ending the resistance and abiding by a one-year truce," Abdelaziz Rantissi told AFP, stressing that "operations inside Israel would continue."
"It has been decided that the inter-Palestinian dialogue would resume in Cairo on January 22 and we will attend," he added. "We believe the talks will lead to positive results because this time all Palestinian factions have been invited by Egypt to attend and will reaffirm the right of our people to resist," said the Hamas official.

This show was stale from the moment this season started.

This show was stale from the moment this season started.
As incredibly boring as these house guests are, you'd think BB would provide something for them to do, simply to see if they could or would do it. Didn't they provide modeling clay or Silly Putty last year? I seem to remember Jeff or somebody making little clay figures. This season, no one's even playing chess. They play pool and work out and that's about it. Remember when Jeff was gardening or several seasons ago, when they had to do laundry outside with that weird cranked machine? They don't even have interesting luxury competitions, where what they win is something we get to watch, as opposed to Enzo winning a flat screen to enjoy later.
I had the oddest dream last night that BB locked down the regular kitchen appliances and replaced them with things like Easy Bake ovens, so they had to use the toys to make their meals. Enzo was very confused by the Easy Bake oven, and Lane was just annoyed that he was going to have to make so many teeny-tiny cakes to get one Lane-sized snack (I don't know that we've seen Lane eating huge portions, but given his size, I'm making the assumption that he doesn't just nibble during meals). Actually, compared to what little the hamsters have done to amuse us this season, that's not the worst idea in the world.
Here's another thought: how about a mechanical bull? If it were part of an upcoming competition--or the hamsters thought it was--they'd try to practice on it. Then at least we'd get to watch various people fly through the air as opposed to sitting on their butts.

Lifestyle, status and occupational differentiation in Victorian accountancy
New insights are offered to the professionalization of accountants in Britain circa 1881 by examining the private foundations of occupational status and identity as manifested by domestic arrangements and residence patterns. Drawing on literature pertaining to the relationship between consumption and socio-cultural differentiation the study deploys empirical evidence from the British census to analyse status identifiers such as servant keeping, household location and neighbourhood composition. These aspects of lifestyle are taken as signifying practices of middle-class affiliation and narratives of the social identification of professional accountants. The extent to which accountants achieved status through consumption practices is illustrated by comparisons with a range of other occupational groups and social classes in Victorian Britain.

He was already gone when I got there. There was just the row of chairs, maybe 15 rows or so, stretching from the table where the author should have been seated to the back row. All of the chairs were empty. Two sales clerks stood behind the vacant table, putting books onto shelves.
"It`s over already? He`s gone?" I asked.
One of the girls nodded and gave me a sad smile.
"It was a terrible turnout. Maybe six people. We could have used you," she said.
I checked my watch. Was just 7:32. Here and gone in 32 minutes. A terrible turnout, the girl had said.
Figures. The man who had been seated at the table signing books, all six of them, was a writer. Still is. We don`t do writers, or books, any more. Do TiVos and MP3 players and text messaging and Game Boys. Do things that make America what it is: fat and lazy and spoiled rotten by electronic toys.
If the man had been up there giving away the toys that make us tick - the TiVos and MP3s and cell phones that text message - you can bet all the chairs would have been filled. Heck, they would have been standing in the aisles with a line out the door at JoBeth`s Book Store.
Which is where the author Mike Lupica spent, oh -- about 32 lonely minutes the other night when he was in town to speak and sign his books.
A lonely business, writing. Especially when your target audience is kids caught up in the frenetic world of gizmos and gadgets that promote symbols and shorthand in place of actual words found in the English language. Gadgets for music and gossip and nonsense. Gadgets that help reduce the size of a kid`s brainpan instead of nurturing it and allowing it to grow.
Maybe you know who Mike Lupica is and maybe you don`t. Here`s your primer:
He`s a sports columnist for the New York Daily News. You`ve probably seen him on ESPN on Sunday mornings. Somewhat of a prodigy, this Lupica. Imagine getting your start in New York writing sports at the age of 22. Covered the Knicks for the NY Post. Two short years later he became the sports columnist for the Daily News. This was in the late `70s.
In the 1980s, when I first bumped into him at the U.S. Open, he was also writing pieces for Esquire under the heading, "The Sporting Life."
One of his pieces in Esquire was on Elmore Leonard, the great crime-fiction writer who comes out of the Dashiell Hammett-Raymond Chandler School of tough-guy writing. Leonard`s easily the best of that genre, lapping Robert Parker or John D. MacDonald or anyone else you care to mention. His books include "Out of Sight," "3:10 to Yuma," "Hombre," "The Switch" and "Killshot" - all of which have become movies.
If you`ve ever read a Lupica book, you know that Elmore Leonard is his idol, if you will, when it comes to fiction writing: The style, the prose, the dialogue, the phrasing. All Leonard.
"You begin at the beginning," Leonard told Lupica in the Esquire piece. "And it doesn`t begin until you actually sit down and start to write." The "it" in question was the business of writing fiction.
So Lupica - the well-known sports columnist, TV commentator and the author of biographical sports books such as Reggie (Jackson) and Parcells (Bill) - began to write crime-fiction novels. His "Dead Air" was nominated for an Edgar Allen Poe Best First Mystery Award.
But in doing crime-fiction he was walking in Leonard`s shoes, along the path laid out by Hammett and Chandler, the path that Parker and so many others were also on. He was good at it. Darn good. But there can be only one Elmore Leonard.
So Lupica switched to writing books for young adults. A wealth of material to draw from there what with three sons and a daughter. He wrote "Travel Team," about a small kid cut from the basketball team who overcomes the odds and eventually makes the travel team.
"Honey, I think you`re onto something here," Lupica`s wife told him.
Lupica has since written "Miracle on 49th Street," in which the hero is Molly Parker, a feisty girl who tracks down her estranged father, a superstar jock.
There`s "Two-Minute Drill," about the school nerd who becomes friends with Chris Conlan, the cool guy who is the school`s star quarterback and the guy everyone wants to be. I got so engrossed in this one that I read about seven chapters standing in a bookstore aisle while my granddaughter crawled around the floor and made friends with other 3-year-olds.
"Hot Hand" features Billy, whose parents have separated. Billy has a difficult relationship with his father, who is also his coach on the school basketball team, and a younger brother who is a genius at the piano.
Lupica`s young adult books all come under the heading of "A Comeback Kids Novel." They`re called this because they`re about everyday kids - kids who are short or fat or shy and slightly less talented than their peers - who fight their way back and overcome their problems.
Here`s where I`m going with this: Get yourself out of that insanely long line to buy the latest TiVo or MP3 player or Game Boy or text messaging device that allows your pre-teen to type wonderful things like: "RU going to the sch danz w/YBF or w/me?" and over to a book store.
I know, I know. It`ll be like going into Pakistan without a road map. You`ll get over it. After awhile, it will be like an enchanted forest. Whole vistas will open up.
Go to either the Young Adult section or the section with the sports books. Lupica`s books will be found in one of those aisles.
As a kid who grew up reading the great John R. Tunis ("The Kid from Tomkinsville," "World Series," "Keystone Kids" and "The Kid Comes Back"), I am not at all hesitant about putting Lupica`s Comeback Kids novels in Tunis` class.
His books appeal to both genders and to black and white and Latino. They are hip in a way that is neither cloying nor condescending.
Lupica has style and grace, which is to say he`s being himself while at the same time evoking shades of the master, Elmore Leonard, while doing it.
Although his Comeback Kids novels are directed to the 10-14 age group, you can easily be older than that and enjoy the heck out of these books. Why? Because Lupica can flat-out write, that`s why. And he doesn`t write down.
Where some sportswriters have carved a niche for themselves by setting a tape recorder down in front of a subject -- letting the subject talk for two hours -- then later typing out every word that`s been recorded and putting those typed words between two hard covers and calling the thing a book (selling it to Joe Fabeets, who`s at home listening to SportsTalk), Lupica actually starts from scratch and creates something of value - a novel about relationships and growing up in the real world.
This is not Harry Potter`s world of magic and genies and gremlins. It`s grittier stuff. The kind of stuff kids need to be reading when they are 10-14. Harder and truer stuff. Harder and more relevant than RU`s and MBF`s.
And now I want you to do something hard yourself. I want you to put one foot in front of the other, walk into a bookstore (do not be frightened by all the strange objects around you -- they are just books ) and buy one for your kid. Let it be one of Lupica`s young adult books.
You can do worse this holiday season than buying a Lupica Comeback Kid novel for your child.
And you probably will.

Canadians elected a historic government to office on Monday, handing the Conservatives their long-coveted majority and promoting the NDP to Official Opposition status for the first time ever.
National Post – The Liberals were reduced to less than half the seats they won in the last election, and the Bloc Quebecois dwindled to just a handful of seats in a province that, for the first time in 20 years, handed the majority of its seats to a federalist party.
The damage to the Liberals and Bloc was so severe that even leaders Michael Ignatieff and Gilles Duceppe were on track to lose their seats in Ontario and Quebec. Mr. Duceppe, in fact, immediately announced his resignation as leader of the sovereigntist party, declaring in his concession speech: "I am leaving, but others will follow, until Quebec becomes a party."
With all 308 ridings reporting as of 11:50 p.m. EST, the Tories were leading or had won 165 seats — well past the 155 needed for a majority — and the NDP were leading or had won 104 ridings — nearly tripling the 36 seats it gleaned in 2008. A decimated Liberal Party was on track to win just 35 seats, and the Bloc Quebecois were poised to glean just three.
Late into Monday night, both the Conservatives and NDP were picking up seats everywhere from a wounded, Ignatieff-led Liberal party that lost five of its east coast MPs and dozens of others throughout Ontario and Quebec.
In television ads and at campaign rallies, Mr. Harper pitched his party as the most reliable economic steward to govern through country through a fragile recovery.

The CFL trade deadline never matches the hype, but these are five veterans who could be dealt.
5. DB Reggie Durden (Edm): His stock has dropped, but he's still a six-year veteran who has been to three Grey Cups.
4. KR Keith Stokes (Tor): With Stokes and Bashir Levingston, the Argos don't need two legitimate returners.
3. KR Corey Holmes (Ham): About to hit the free-agent market, Holmes denies he's asking for $200,000 a season.
2. SB Terry Vaughn (Ham): The Tabbies need to rebuild and a 35-year-old receiver doesn't fit that mould.
1. LB John Grace (Cal): An injury put Grace on the roster last Friday, but it's clear Grace isn't in the Stamps' future plans.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' front seven on defence. Entering last weekend as the top ranked unit against the run by giving up an average of just 76 yards per game, Calgary ran right over top of the Bombers - piling up 258 yards. That's ugly!
" I know you're just trying to do your job, but if I was a fighting man all you guys would be knocked out right now."
-- Milt Stegall, to reporters who continue to ask about his quest to break the CFL touchdown record
" I think if we don't go to the Grey Cup, i'll take it as being my fault."
-- Toronto's Ricky Williams
" That's like a smack in the face and a wakeup call all in one."
-- Winnipeg cornerback Omar Evans after losing 43-9 to Calgary

African roots and Irish hearts win Celtic contest
IT may be a Celtic song contest, but an Irish school's winning entry has a very distinct African flavour.
A group from Scoil Chriost Rí, Cloughleigh, Ennis, Co Clare, has been selected to represent Ireland in the 2014 Pan Celtic International Song Contest next month.
At the final in Derry, they will be up against national entries from the other participating Celtic nations of Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man.
But the Irish group, made up of sixth-class pupils and teachers in the Co Clare school, is bringing an even wider international dimension to the contest.
Eleven of the children have international ancestry, with family origins in Nigeria, Rwanda, Cameroon or the Ivory Coast.
Music and lyrics for the Pan Celtic Festival song contest must be newly composed with all entries 'as Gaeilge'. However, the genres can range from traditional to pop and country to rock.
The Scoil Chriost Rí group beat off competition from 18 other groups from Cork, Kerry, Galway, Donegal, Tipperary, Dublin, Clare, LWexford and Carlow to secure a place in the final.
The winning song was written by sixth-class teacher Joe Garry with the music by fellow teachers Karen Vaughan and Paul Crehan.
Acting principal Gearoid Roughan said that the whole school community was very proud of the children's win.

Andy Carroll is happy with the balance of West Ham's team following Saturday's 3-0 friendly win over Karlsruher SC.
The Hammers had failed to win any of their previous four pre-season matches before last weekend's triumph, losing to Seattle Sounders and Rubin Kazan whilst drawing with Carolina RailHawks and FC Slovacko.
However, Slaven Bilic's men managed to pick up their first victory in Kapfenberg with Carroll, summer arrival Sofiane Feghouli and Ashley Fletcher all getting on the scoresheet.
It was a good display from the English outfit and it gives them a confidence boost ahead of Thursday's Europa League qualifying clash against NK Domzale.
Carroll, whose has been battling injuries ever since joining West Ham in 2013 from Liverpool, was impressed with the level of performance and insists the players are starting to click.
"All the work the lads have been putting in over the last couple of weeks has been great," he told the club's website. "We created plenty on Saturday. We got enough crosses in and enough chances and I think the team going forward, and in defence too, is very good."

I have been away from this forum for a while due to extended injured reserve. Was thinking of youall yesterday & really wanted to check in & see that everyone is ok. Very glad that you are & will jump on the bandwagon thanking Hilary for helping out the injured. It reminds me of that Fred "Mr" Rodgers quote about when facing tragedy look towards all the helpers to keep our faith in people/life.

I had visitors from Portland last week, friends who were so ecstatic to swap the Pacific Northwest's cold and wet for Tucson's warm and dry, it was impossible to keep them indoors.
Their one demand was that we hike to their favorite Tucson destination, Seven Falls, in the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.
Whenever I take out-of-towners into the Sonoran Desert, I begin seeing it through their eyes. I relived the first few times I walked the Bear Canyon Trail, peering upward at the steep walls of the Catalina Mountains, listening to the stream rippling at my feet and the bird calls coming from every direction, then reaching the turn in the trail where I first caught a glimpse of the falls, the water dropping in stages until it pools at the bottom and forms the stream I crossed again and again to reach that spot.
The Sabino Canyon area is a free gift that keeps on giving, bringing new pleasure every time I visit.
As we headed back toward the car, I began thinking about the roads, trails and bridges that allow an old duffer like me to venture deep into the Catalinas. Who built them? I thought I knew the answer, but I wanted to make sure.
I asked a few questions at the visitor center and was handed a pamphlet, "The Civilian Conservation Corps, Coronado National Forest, 1933-1942."
As I suspected, the Sabino Canyon area and much of the Coronado National Forest was preserved and made accessible to the public through projects created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the Depression.
Fifteen CCC camps were set up across southern Arizona. According to the pamphlet, "Projects included constructing roads and trails, building stock tanks and cattle guards, erecting fences and telephone lines, building campgrounds and picnic areas, conducting revegetation and erosion control projects, planting trees, and building Forest Service administrative sites."
To use today's term, the Depression era's "stimulus package" turned Sabino Canyon into an inviting natural playground. Some people call the CCC and WPA "make work programs" where the government paid people to dig holes, then paid others to fill them in. I'm sure that was true in some cases, just like I'm sure some of Obama's stimulus package will result in wasteful spending. But the unmarried 18- to 25-year-old men who lived in CCC camps throughout Southern Arizona weren't digging holes and filling them in. They were building trails, roads, picnic areas and campsites – and bridges strong enough to withstand the monsoon floods of 2006. They earned $30 a month and sent $25 of that home to their families. They worked hard. They learned trades. Some of them learned to read and write.
FDR referred to these programs as "sound investments for the future." He was right. They were sound investments in the environment and in the lives of people who were given the opportunity to work when the private sector was in disarray.
The parking lot was full the day I took my friends to Sabino Canyon. Young people strode together down trails without an iPod or a text message in sight. Parents pushed infants in strollers while proud grandparents walked by their sides. An extended family of 20 lugged picnic supplies to a few tables a quarter mile from the Sabino Dam. The adults waved and smiled as I passed by. There's not enough money in the world to buy the kind of enjoyment this family was having for free, courtesy of a 70-year-old gift we're still enjoying.
I wonder, will people 70 years from now look back gratefully on gifts we left for them? They certainly won't care about tax breaks we gave ourselves. I'd like to think, among other things, they'll have reason to thank us for preserving and enriching our environment so it affords them the same kind of pleasure we enjoy today.

SANDIA PARK, N.M. {AP} Investigators are pursuing leads that may help them find out who was responsible for killing three Albuquerque teen-agers late Saturday night with an automatic weapon.
"We did get some promising leads," Bernalillo County Sheriff Joe Bowdich said Monday. "Whether they pan out or not, I don't know."
Killed were Matthew Hunt and Kevin Shirley, both 17, and Luis Garcia, 16, all of Albuquerque. They were found late Saturday night in an orange Datsun. The boys were shot multiple times with an automatic weapon, Bowdich said.
Bowdich said police are still asking for anyone who has information on the killings to contact them. "We need information," he said.
No arrests have been made, Bowdich said. He said police are looking for a young Caucasian male who is believed to have been a passenger in a dark-colored sports utility vehicle observed near the scene of the crime.
Bowdich said it didn't appear that the teen-agers were trying to escape their killers. He said the killing appears random and that there probably were at least two people responsible for the murders.
"These were not the typical kind of kids who are in trouble all the time," Bowdich said. "These kids seem to be good kids."
Hunt graduated from Eldorado High School May 20. The other two teens had just finished their junior year at Manzano High School, where they were members of the junior varsity soccer team.
Manzano soccer coach Tom Hirschman said Shirley and Garcia were "good kids, really good kids" who seemed sure to make the school's varsity team next fall.
The boys were killed shortly after leaving a party at a house in a gated neighborhood about three-quarters of a mile northeast of where their bodies were found. Investigators on Sunday searched the house but found nothing, Bowdich said.
"There is no indication of problems with those individuals (the victims) at that party," he said.
The bodies were sent to the state Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque for autopsies.
Investigators were interviewing people who attended the party and area residents. But, late Monday, no one who witnessed the shooting had come forward, said sheriff's office spokeswoman Ronni Sparks.
A woman who lives across the street from the crime scene said she phoned police after hearing rapid gunfire. The woman, who refused to be identified out of fear of retaliation, said she approached the car to check on those inside.
"The windshield was all shattered," the woman said. "The driver's window and passenger window were pretty much blown out. I checked the pulses of two of them and they were dead. I could tell they were shot in the head."
The woman said she heard multiple gunshots before seeing a black sports utility vehicle leaving the scene. She said the three teen-agers were shot multiple times and that one was a paraplegic. Authorities confirmed one of the teen-agers was paralyzed but declined to name him.
"There was a wheelchair in the back seat. I have never seen three kids blown away like that," said the woman, who added that she was a nurse.
There was no immediate indication that the killings were gang- or drug-related, Sparks said. However, Bowdich said investigators aren't ruling out those possibilities.

Janie Feldman Gross
Graphic Design
Janie Feldman was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1952. Her mother grew up on a farm and her father was a jazz musician. Both of those influences charted her career direction – gardening being a huge part of what she does, and she credits her discipline to being raised by a dedicated musician. A love of aesthetics was shown to her by her mother's gardening skills, and she was exposed to fine arts through an excellent art museum in town. Her life changed drastically in her junior year in high school when her art teacher (Mr. Trippie) recognized her abilities as an artist. He told her to consider graphic design. In her senior year, there was a talent show at the high school and a contest for designing its poster. She won the contest and that made her consider that art was something she could do as a career.
Janie's parents did not attend college but they were very supportive of her going to college. Her mother had a friend whose daughter was attending Moore College; they had never heard of the college prior to then. Looking back on her undergraduate years, she realizes that it was a great advantage to attend an all women's college, although it did not attract her to Moore at the time. She met her future husband the first week of college.
One of the most important skills she learned in college was the art of presenting her work. She studied advertising (which is now graphic design) and graduated in 1974. Louise Stahl, the color theorist, inspired Janie, mostly by her sheer enthusiasm for her subject. Libby Lovett Stewart was also a great source of inspiration. Libby was working in the field while teaching, so she was able to introduce the students to professionals in the design field. Janie had a summer internship at TV Guide in their promotions department. Her coworkers encouraged her to enter a contest to design an invitation for a TV Guide event and she won. Winning contests reassured her that she was on the right track. Libby introduced Janie to her mentor, a professional in the pharmaceutical field, where Janie worked for twelve years.
Janie says that Moore is unique in that the professors are both teachers and mentors. They do not just teach in the classroom; they teach outside the classroom. They show students that design is everywhere. Today, Janie still looks everywhere for inspiration in her design work and credits Moore for having fostered that awareness in her.
Upon graduating, she got a job in a publishing company. She knew pretty quickly that she wanted to do freelance. She wanted to be her on boss. She thinks that she learned at Moore the ability to speak up for herself.
Janie went to college prior to the time when computers were used in graphic design. She says she has a love-hate relationship with computers. They make things much easier in some ways, and one can do work much more quickly (she learned to do lettering by hand), but at the same time, doing work more quickly does not mean that you are doing better work. She thinks that young designers who do not have the foundation that she received at Moore are designing things that "look good on the computer" rather than designing things that communicate, which is ultimately what the designer's job is.
She also felt that in her own career, clients wanted work faster and faster and did not appreciate the work that went into her graphic designs. That is when she knew she was having a career crisis. She read books on career paths and everything said, "Follow your passion." The one thing that she kept coming back to was gardening. She focused on the flowers that she was growing in her own garden, and then started pressing them. She started to write her thoughts down about the flowers as she was taking them out of the flower press, keeping a journal, and making enlarged images of the flowers. She showed the work to a friend of hers who said, "You ought to write a book!" The project was a blend of everything that she enjoyed – writing, photography, love of flowers. She set out to write the book and present it to a publisher. Because of her skills in graphic design, she was able to make a very comprehensive mock up of the book. The publisher accepted the book within 24 hours and The Afterlife of Flowers was published in 1999.
At the same time as the book project, Janie was studying to become certified as a floral designer. After the book was published, she was asked to teach flower pressing at Longwood Gardens. She has done extensive research on how to press flowers and what types of flowers you can press. Her research was worldwide, and led her to Japan where she saw the most impressive flower pressing, a Japanese technique that keeps the flowers from fading after they are pressed. When the International Pressed Flower Art Society – an organization based in Japan – held a contest to design a new logo, Janie drew upon her background in graphic design to enter the contest and won. After she won the contest, she contacted the society and asked if she could study under Nobuo Sugino, the Japanese Master of Flower Pressing.
Many opportunities that she could not have not foreseen came to Janie after the book was published. Family Circle did a piece on her that led to a call from Martha Stewart's studio. A year later, she appeared on the Martha Stewart Show. She was also a finalist for the Today Show's Domestic Diva contest. Another interesting outgrowth of the Afterlife of Flowers was that Janie was approached by a pillow manufacturer who wanted to use her flowers as images on pillows. Kohl's Department store was the first customer. Janie developed her own company – JG Productions – and a line of ceramicware to follow the success of the pillows. The ceramics line was launched at Bed Bath and Beyond. She has also done a line of stationary products. Images from Janie's book were used on the set of The Stepford Wives. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society asked her to lecture on her work at the Flower Show, and subsequently asked her to be a judge at the Philadelphia Flower Show.
Now, Janie is going in a new direction in her work, more towards fine arts. She is doing more photography, combined with mixed-media work. She doesn't know where this will lead, but she wants to trust that doing what she loves will lead her in the right direction. She thinks that some of the most important things she learned at Moore were how to problem-solve and how to sell herself.
Twenty-five years after graduating, Janie became re-involved with Moore. She sent a note to the director of alumnae affairs after her book had been published and Moore welcomed her with open arms. She launched her book tour at Moore. She became involved with the alumnae association and served as president from 2000-2003. One of her goals as president was to locate all of the alumnae. Another goal was for the alumnae to have a voice at the college because that they had so much to offer back to the college. Moore is now including the alumnae more in what is happening. For example, Janie was very supportive of creating The Art Shop at Moore, which benefits the students, the alumnae, and the faculty. She says Moore is all about nurturing women who are artists and helping them to actually develop careers. She learned after coming back to Moore as an alumna that there are opportunities that are still there for her. She wants current students to know that Moore will always be there for them.
In 2006, Janie received the Distinguished Alumnae Award from Moore. "I just think that it says that I've come full circle. It's the kind of thing you wait your whole life for…I'm so honored to have received it."
"I think leadership traits are a real outgrowth of the foundation we get at Moore. It originated with the concept of having to present your work. The whole concept of defending your work is developing the ability to be a leader. The skills that you have to sell yourself will make you stronger and more self-confident." She also thinks that Moore graduates who have a very strong work ethic. Moore attracts people who are very serious about their work.
One of the most rewarding experiences for Janie as the owner of her own company is that she was able to hire a Moore graduate last year. She was excited that she was "able to give back" to Moore. Her advice to current undergraduates is "follow your heart." If you can learn from her story, you'll see that she her career really began when she did what she loved.
"My involvement with the local art scene in Philadelphia really is devoted and dedicated to Moore, mainly because they gave me my start…I think it's real important as an alumna to now give back to the place that gave me my beginning… I think it's also important for Moore to continue to reach out to the alumnae. What Moore does best is help women get careers out in the real world."

Three people were fatally shot outside a nightclub in New Jersey early Christmas morning, including the son of the owner of the bar and another man who worked there, authorities say.
The men were shot at Slick's Tavern on Nye Avenue and 21st Street in Irvington around 1 a.m., prosecutors say. Pierre Clervoyant, the owner's 34-year-old son, Woodley Daniel, 32, and Mushir Cureton, 27, were killed; another 34-year-old man and a 27-year-old man were wounded, prosecutors said.
Authorities say it appears the gunman was stopped by the bouncer as he tried to enter the bar and opened fire.
No arrests have been made.
The Essex County Sheriff's Crimestoppers Program is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the shooter.

Hi Max, I live and guide in the Vancouver area, grown up here so can help.
There is so much fishing opportunity in BC it's hard to know where to start. If I was to pick my favorite fisheries within 5 hours drive of Vancouver I would choose to fish some stillwater lakes between Williams Lake and Kamloops for rainbow trout, there are lots of tropy lakes in this region, if you have a pontoon boat or belly boat you would be fine, might have to rent a skiff or pram on larger lakes. I would fish the Adams River large trout, I would fly fish the Upper Pitt river 1 hour east of Vancouver, you would have to hire a guide for that fishery. If your in the Vancouver area in the Fall you can also fly fish for salmon on the Fraser, Harrison, Stave, Squamish rivers.
If your looking to travel distances, I would travel to Skeena Region and fish some of the smaller rivers systems in that region, there salmon runs are earlier than the fraser so you could fish salmon in July, August.
My site is STS Fishing Guides - Fishing in British Columbia for Salmon and Sturgeon most of the information you will find is about Vancouver & Fraser Valley, I have lots or articles, where to fish and 140 fly patterns. For information on BC fishing I would suggest you visit these popular BC fishing websites.
Fishing in B.C. Canada is what AnglingBC is all about with fishing vacations, fishing lodges, fishing Guides, flyfishing and Salmon, Sturgeon, Steelhead fishing

Working to create an environment for private-sector employers to create jobs and to increase transparency, Senator Chuck Grassley and Representative Doug Collins are introducing legislation that would end the practice of enacting federal regulations through sue-and-settle litigation. Grassley is Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Collins is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and leads the Freshman Regulatory Reform Working Group.
The Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act responds to the use of consent decrees and settlement agreements in lawsuits against federal agencies to bind executive discretion. The end result is rulemaking that implements the priorities of pro-regulatory special interest groups and limits the discretion of succeeding administrations.
"Sue-and-settle litigation damages the transparency, public participation and judicial review protections Congress has guaranteed for all of our citizens in the rulemaking process. And, it's a tremendous burden on job-creating businesses, especially small businesses," Grassley said. "This kind of regulatory litigation also adversely affects the ability of the executive branch to engage in sound and principled decision-making. The goal of this bill is to make sure all citizens, especially those directly impacted by a proposed regulation, have a meaningful opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process and help ensure the procedure and process used to create these regulations are made in the open. America's system of lawmaking and judicial review shouldn't be distorted or manipulated."
"The Obama Administration has empowered agencies to subvert the legislative process and manipulate the rulemaking system to achieve their pro-regulation agenda. Strong reforms are needed to protect communities and businesses against burdensome regulations that circumvent the rulemaking process. This legislation sheds light on the regulation through litigation that is crippling small businesses in my district and across the nation. Improving the public participation and transparency protections of the Administrative Procedure Act is vital to preserving the integrity of the rulemaking process," Collins said.
Sue-and-settle driven rulemaking takes place under schedules that render notice-and-comment requirements a mere formality, depriving regulated entities, the public and the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of sufficient time to have any meaningful input on the content of final rules.
The sue-and-settle problem has occurred primarily in litigation against regulatory agencies over allegations that agency action has been unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed. Typically, the defendant agency has failed to meet a mandatory statutory deadline for a new regulation or is alleged to have unreasonably delayed discretionary action. In addition, agency actions are often politically sensitive, especially when the proposed regulation imposes high costs on the regulated businesses.
With sue-and-settle cases, the resulting consent decree or settlement agreement comes as a surprise to the regulated community and the general public and often provides a short timeline for agency action. The lack of advance notice and minimal time allowed for the proposal and promulgation of regulations allows agencies to undercut the public participation and analytical requirements of regulatory process statutes. Accelerated timeframes for proposal and promulgation allow agencies to short-circuit review of new regulations by the OIRA. The incentive to do this is particularly strong when the plaintiff and the agency agree on what the content of the regulation should be, and seek to effectuate that agreement without input from interested parties and the OIRA.
Senators Tom Coburn, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Deb Fischer and Ted Cruz are original cosponsors of the reform proposal in the Senate. Spencer Bachus, Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law, and Howard Coble, Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet are co-sponsoring in the House.
The Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act would require:
· Greater transparency. Agencies must publish sue-and-settle notices of intent to sue, complaints, decrees, settlements, and attorneys' fee awards and report on them to Congress.
· Greater rights for regulated entities and the public. Agencies cannot propose sue-and-settle decrees and settlements to the courts until parties affected by the proposed regulations can intervene and participate in settlement negotiations and the proposed decrees and settlements are published for public notice and comment.
· Greater judicial scrutiny. Courts weighing proposed decrees and settlements must assure compliance with normal rulemaking procedures and account for agencies' competing mandatory duties not within the litigation.
· Greater accountability. The Attorney General must certify to the court his or her approval of proposed decrees that convert discretionary authorities into mandatory duties.
· Greater flexibility for new administrations. Courts are allowed to review de novo any new administration's motion to modify a consent decree in light of changed facts and circumstances or competing duties.

For 13 years, my dog has been groomed by many people. However, I have never in all these years been so pleased by your groomer. What a great job! Keep up the good work. Thanks so much.Pat
Thanks he is there now and couldn't be more delighted to see his pals. You are awesome Jane. Don't know what we would do without the cottage.Phoebe
Jane, Molly's face looks beautiful. If the blueberry facial has such good results, perhaps I should have one also.Eileen H.
Hello Jane, I wanted to thank you for taking our dog, Tootsie at such short notice last month. You were terrific with her and we truly appreciate it. She came back to us a very happy and calm dog and we really felt like she was in great hands with you while we were away. I was really worried about the open boarding concept with her temperament, but you handled things beautifully! Thanks again!The Peno's - Pete, Eileen, Alex & Olivia & Tootsie-of course 🙂
Anyone who owns a small dog should know about the Cottage Small Dog Daycare! Here is a place where I leave my dog and she is not put in a cage and ignored all day. She roams around the very sweet cottage with other little dogs and has access to a nice outdoor area. The price is extremely reasonable and everything is included. You don't have to pay extra for every little thing like a 5 minute walk, group play, doggie treat, nice bed….the whole thing is nice and the dogs must feel like they are staying with a friend. If your dog has little quirks, you tell Jane and she works with that…Janet R., Newtown Square, PA
"A big warm thank you from both of us (and Daphne and Mr. Big). We were so happy to place them at The Cottage during our vacation and know that they would be able to socialize, exercise and well supervised during their stay. We could not think of leaving the things most precious to us locked in a traditional kennel facility. We also loved getting to see our dogs on video and pictures daily via Facebook while we were away. It comforted us to know they were having fun while Mom and Dad were away having fun in the sun. Happy Holidays.Kelly
Thanks again too for taking such good care of Snickers. I felt so good being away and knowing she was in such good hands (and not at some big "pet hotel" or boarding place sitting in a cage for two straight days). I just love how they can be out playing the whole time. I keep telling people about you and your place almost every day!! Take care.Beth
The Halloween party sounds like fun! The kids and I hope to stop by with Schatzie. He has been so much more "social" with other dogs since his stay with you. I have put the word out about how much we loved your place! ThanksLinda
We want you to know how thrilled we are with Winston's Hair Cut Mary gave him last week. It is without a doubt the THE BEST he has ever had in his 10 years. We promise to keep up her good work and bring Winston in for a trim in 6-8 weeks. GREAT JOB!!Carol P.
I just love what you do with the dogs !! It's great to see how content and happy they are at The Cottage ….you're the best !Rose Dileva, Veterinarian

text: Debian-ARM for the NetWinder ============================ chroot image - August 10, 1998 Jim Pick <email@example.com> I've prepared an image of the Debian base system that can be easily installed into a directory on a NetWinder, and used as a chroot environment - without affecting the software that Corel supplies. It is minimally configured - containing just enough installed packages to make it easy to download the official ARM packages from Debian and some additional non-official/local packages from my FTP server. It is simple enough to install that anybody with a NetWinder should be able to get it up and running. The Debian port is still a work-in-progress, so you have been warned! Most importantly, it is not yet complete enough to act as a replacement for Corel's root disk iamge. Here's what you do (as root): 1) Download the image from: ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/chroot-image/ The filename should be something like: debian-chroot_980810.tar.gz It's about an 11MB download. 2) Pick a directory where you want to install it. Something like /mnt/chroot or /opt/chroot is a good choice. You might want to install it on another partition. 3) Untar the file, ie: # tar xzvf debian-chroot_980810.tar.gz This will untar the files into a directory called "chroot" below your current directory. Feel free to rename it. Unpacked, it takes up around 27MB - but you'll want to leave more room than that, so you can install additional packages. 4) Change directory into the base of the chroot, ie: # cd chroot 5) The NetWinder as supplied by Corel doesn't include a "chroot" command, but you can use the one from the Debian chroot: # cp usr/sbin/chroot /usr/local/bin 6) The image I made didn't have the proper /dev files. So just copy the Corel ones into the chroot area: # cp -af /dev/* dev 7) Actually go into the chroot: # chroot . Now you should be inside the chroot environment! You can verify this by doing an "ls /" - you should see a file called "I_am_inside_Debian_chroot". 8) You might want to edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to your nameservers. Or you can just leave it pointing at mine. 9) Install additional packages. You do this using the "dselect" program. Dselect has been configured to use the "dpkg-http" access method. It will look for package files via http from an official Debian mirror, and also via ftp from the collection of un-official packages on ftp.jimpick.com . 10) You should have a functional Debian environment set up now! You might want to go on and add some users (using "adduser"), and do some additional configuration. You can mount the /proc filesystem by doing: # mount /proc /proc -t proc You might want to join the debian-arm mailing list, by sending a message contain the word "subscribe" in the body to firstname.lastname@example.com . Also, feel free to check our website, which is at: http://master.debian.org/~jim/netwinder.html If you have any questions, please direct them to the mailing list. If you have a correction/clarification for this set of instructions, please send me a note - <firstname.lastname@example.com> . Cheers, - Jim

Microsoft refers to Japan as a 'tier 2' country; will delay Xbox One launch
The somewhat bewildering saga of the Xbox One continues. In a press-attended Microsoft Japan corporate strategy meeting, Microsoft Japan President and CEO Yasuyuki Higuchi established that the organization will be delaying the launch of the console. The reason, he explained, is that Japan is a '"Tier 2 Country" where the Xbox One launch is concerned. In other words, the territory is not high on Microsoft's priorities list.
Still, Higuchi was careful to establish that it won't be delayed 'too much.' Japan might still see the Xbox One before the rest of Asia, which won't be receiving the console until "late 2014."
Curiously enough, this comes right on the heels of a statement by former Xbox One boss Don Mattrick that Microsoft is committed to Japan, and sees it as an 'important market.' Chalk it up to Mattrick blowing more hot air, but this choice, at least, makes sense. Sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan were downright abysmal; Microsoft has no reason to believe the Xbox One will fare any better.

The lives of Augusta Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Jordan and Aiken Marine Cpl. Matthew Dillon came to an end in 2006 when each died in an automobile accident while fighting in support of America's war on terrorism.
Their sacrifice, however, has not been forgotten.
After running nonstop for 10 days and 1,500 miles, Marines at Fort Gordon were joined by 700 service members Thursday to complete the final lap of its ninth annual Tribute to the Fallen to honor the more than 1,500 Marines and Navy sailors who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Fifteen hundred miles – one mile for each of the 1,500 Marines and Navy corpsman heroes – each with their own unique story and each remembered by name," Capt. Dallas Butler, commanding officer of the Fort Gordon Marine Corp said in closing the remembrance.
While the 1,500 lost were not individually recognized, Butler said the fallen heroes, their sacrifices, and their friends and families were equally in the Fort Gordon Marines' and Navy sailors' thoughts and prayers throughout the run.
"We owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid," Butler said in honor of the families who lost a loved one. "These heroes are forever part of this nation's history. They're gone. They're terribly missed, but they are not – and will never be – forgotten."
Capt. Jim Brokaw, commanding officer of the Navy Information Operations Command at Fort Gordon, thanked the Marines for allowing his staff to participate in the tribute.
He said the event brought his sailors great pride, reaffirming their commitment to never forget their fallen comrades who "gave their all in the service of our country."
"As we honor our fallen each of us must renew our vow to ensure that none of these fallen brothers in arms, America's sons and daughters, have lost their lives in vain," he said.
Brokaw said the fallen heroes' sacrifice is woven into America's service heritage, which each member of the military carries into battle.
"We must commit ourselves to being ready to answer the call of our nation – we are America's fighting forces; we are always ready; and we are always proud to serve," he said. "None of us know when the call to serve will come, but when it does we will be willing and we will go."
Brokaw's words brought a round of applause and reverence from the crowd, including Marine Sgt. Joshua Carter, who on Thursday completed his fifth Tribute to the Fallen run.
Carter said he ran at least 25 laps around the 3-mile track circling Fort Gordon's Barton Field in honor of more than 70 Marines who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Among the fallen he ran for include Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Cesar O. Baez, 37, of California, who died in Iraq on June 15, 2005, as a result of enemy small arms fire. Baez, a hospital corpsman, was conducting combat operations for the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force.
"It is the least we can to honor the men and women who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms and privileges we get to experience every day," said Carter, who the week before ran in the Marine Corps Marathon.
Carter, a father of two, said he uses the run to pay his respects to the mothers and fathers of the fallen.
"They came before us, but they'll never be forgotten," Carter said.

Diseases of skeletal muscle of the pharynx
- Polymyositis. Polymyositis is a disease of unknown cause in which skeletal muscle becomes inflamed and degenerates. It can affect skeletal muscle of the body as well as the pharynx.
- Myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is a disease in which there is abnormal transmission of signals between motor nerves and the skeletal muscles they control. The skeletal muscle of the pharynx may be affected.
- Muscular dystrophies. The muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited (genetic) diseases that are caused by the production of abnormal proteins in skeletal muscle cells. The abnormal proteins result in degeneration of the muscle cells and their replacement with scar tissue or fat. The primary symptoms of the muscular dystrophies are muscleweakness and spasm. Examples of muscular dystrophies include myotonic dystrophy, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and Becker's muscular dystrophy.
- Metabolic myopathies. Metabolic myopathies are a group of rare, inherited (genetic) diseases that are caused by a deficiency in activity of the enzymes in skeletal muscle cells that are important for generating the energy that is necessary for contraction of the muscle. The most common symptom of the metabolic myopathies is easy tiring of muscles andmuscle cramps.
Miscellaneous diseases
- Reduced saliva. Saliva facilitates swallowing by acting as lubrication for the bolus. Some medications, diseases (for example, Sjogren's syndrome), and radiation therapy to the head and neck that affects the salivary glands, all reduce the production of saliva, and can cause dysphagia, though usually it is mild.
- Alzheimer's disease

My printer (HP7210) is wired connected to my WRT54GL router. 2 computers have also a wired connection, my laptop is connected wireless. All these computers use the connected printer. 2 computers can only use a static IP-address for the printer. How can I set a static IP address in my router?
Solved! Go to Solution.
11-10-2011 02:47 PM - edited 11-10-2011 02:48 PM
I don't think the WRT54GL supports static IP's with the stock Linksys firmware.
The workaround is to assign the static IP to the printer. Most network printers support setting of a manual static IP address. The key is to set the static IP on the printer outside of the range the WRT54GL is using for its DHCP server. Log into your router's administration page and see what IP range it is using to hand out client IP addresses. Usually Linksys likes to start at xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and have 50 to 100 leases set aside so to avoid conflict you can use any IP in the range of xxx.xxx.xxx.002 through xxx.xxx.xxx.099, or xxx.xxx.xxx.201 through xxx.xxx.xxx.254. After configuring the static IP on the printer you may need to reconfigure any of the print drivers already installed on client computers so they can connect to the new static IP on the printer.
See the HP user guide page 140 for how to manually change the 7210 printer's IP settings.
For example try using the following IP/Subnet Mask if your router is configured to use 192.168.1.100 for its DHCP server setting:
Use the IP Address of: 192.168.1.202
Use Subnet Mask of: 255.255.255.0
Use Gateway: 192.168.1.1
To change the IP settings from the control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Press 8, and then press 3.
This selects the Network Setup menu and then selects IP Settings.
3. Press until Manual appears, and then press OK.
4. Edit the IP Address, and then press OK.
5. Edit the Subnet Mask, and then press OK.
6. Edit the Default Gateway, and then press OK.
Hi Bennor,
Many thanks for your answer it helped me very well.
I set the address of the DHCP to start at xxx.xxx.xxx.110 and gave the printer a static IP of xxx.xxx.xxx.101 (same setting in my company-laptop). It works no problems anymore with wrong IP-addresses for the printer.

360 question. Where are the Options?
December 15th, 2009, 08:38
Hi. Can someone tell me where on the 360 version I can find the video options, particularly brightness, and the controller options so I can reduce the ridiculous speed the camera rotates.
Is it some kind of game or joke that those options are hidden, or have I just gone blind? It's almost as if there are no video or controller options, but of course that would be totally stupid.
Thank you.

Every once in a while a Broadway musical comes along that surprises, moves and excites audiences in ways only a truly landmark musical can.
The "groundbreaking" "uplifting" and "exquisite" new musical Fun Home was the event of the Broadway season, receiving raves from critics and audiences alike, winning five 2015 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and making history along the way.
Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, Fun Home introduces us to Alison at three different ages, as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her childhood.
A refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes, "Fun Home is extraordinary, a rare beauty that pumps fresh air into Broadway." (New York Times)
*Please note: While Fun Home is accessible to many ages, it's not recommended for young children under 13 due to adult themes.

Employees of Long Island College Hospital are scrambling after hundreds received layoff notices. A spokesman for the contested Cobble Hill medical facility put the total number of staff to receive notices at between 400 and 500. A statement issued by a spokesman for the hospital's operator, SUNY Downstate, says, "We are aligning our staffing levels to reflect the greatly reduced patient volume and limited services that are available at the facility." NY1 has reached out to the New York State Nurses Association and the union representing many of the hospital's employees for comment.

Often, the biggest time-consuming part of dent removal is the removal and installation of interior panels and upholstery. This tool eliminates those steps. Simply drill a hole at the base of the dent and thread in the tool's self-tapping screw. A few sharp blows of the slide hammer will pull the dent out.

The House will vote Thursday on an appropriations measure that would cut funding for construction of the Department of Homeland Security headquarters at the former St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Southeast D.C.
The bill, which is expected to pass but still must be considered by the Senate, covers Homeland Security spending for fiscal 2012. It does not include the $160 million requested by DHS to continue the St. Elizabeths project, which will consolidate dozens of agencies with thousands of workers currently scattered at different locations onto one sprawling campus. The project will also create thousands of construction jobs.
The cut is part of a broader effort by House Republicans to save money across the government. And the Appropriations Committee, which authored the bill, has complained about the way the venture has been managed, saying "both costs and schedule of the current project are matters of concern" to panel members.
The cut has drawn the ire of local officials as well as of the Obama administration.
DHS has enough money already to complete a headquarters building for the Coast Guard, but beyond that, the White House said in a Statement of Administration Policy issued this week, the "bill would delay the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security headquarters by at least two years, resulting in higher lease costs and will mean the loss of construction efficiencies and increased future construction costs."
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) made similar complaints. On Wednesday, during debate on the measure, Norton offered an amendment to restore funding for the DHS project, but she withdrew it before it could come to a vote because it likely would have been rejected.
"If Republicans are serious about reducing government spending, they will support my amendment, which will save taxpayers from the increased costs, both now and in the long-term, of consolidating DHS into one facility and eliminating the leasing of space at several dozen facilities," Norton said in a statement before she offered the amendent Wednesday.
A Norton spokeswoman said she is focused on making sure the money is included when the Senate considers the bill. That chamber, which is controlled by Democrats, is unlikely to support the same cut advocated by House Republicans.

that is commonly used to detect signs of prostate cancer in the blood. This test is used to screen an estimated 7 million men each year for prostate cancer in the U.S., and gives results that are worrisome enough to prompt 200,000 surgeries to remove the prostate annually, Okrongly says.
Quanterix doesn't want to pursue that initial screening market—partly because the PSA is notoriously unreliable and controversial. But because the Quanterix system should be more sensitive, it may be more useful for detecting prostate cancer recurrence after a man has had surgery to remove the prostate and trace PSA markers are harder to find in the blood, Okrongly says.
The company is also taking a hard look at the neurology field, Okrongly says. Stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, traumatic brain injury, and bipolar disorder were just a few of the opportunities he ticked off. Many of these conditions are currently diagnosed based on clinical questionnaires, and involve physician judgment, with no way of quantifying the disorder through a biological sample. The blood-brain barrier, which makes a lot of pharmaceuticals inaccessible to the brain, is a big reason why no one has been able to develop blood-based diagnostic tests that are sensitive enough to spot early signs of brain illness.
But more evidence is emerging that signature proteins related to neurological disease do actually get into the blood, despite the blood-brain barrier. And if they are there, that means "we can measure them," Okrongly says.
One of the big questions I had, and that Quanterix will certainly hear from physicians, is whether all this trace detection could lead to setting off false alarms, or "false positive" results that encourage unnecessarily aggressive treatment. And the early strategy, like with almost all diagnostics, is to run tests on diseased samples and look back for the presence of the protein biomarkers. That can be valuable information, but it's not the same as a study that hypothesizes a certain biomarker is trouble, detects the biomarker in trace quantities, and follows up patients for a long time to see if those early warning signs in the blood really justified an aggressive treatment strategy or not. This is time-consuming and costly work, and Okrongly acknowledges "there's no getting around some prospective" analyses further in the future.
In the early days, Quanterix plans to build up its own in-house capability to run these ultra-sensitive tests, and it will ask researchers and physicians to ship their samples to the company for analysis, Okrongly says. That capability should be up and running for clinical trials in late 2010, he says. After establishing the technology's credibility in-house, Quanterix over the next five to seven years will start selling instruments to central labs, that perform lots of sophisticated analyses for researchers at hospitals around the country.
"We want these tests eventually to be everywhere, but it's necessary for us to stage it in order to create the market," Okrongly says. "We're not delusional that we can create five new markets, but we think if we pick one or two areas and do a good job, we'll be rewarded. I think this company can stand with the best of them in value creation."
