"Biosamples are an important research tool that can dramatically accelerate basic science, clinical research and translational studies. However, scientists' ability to consistently obtain high quality biosamples in the quantity and disease type they need is very challenging," said Rama Modali, President, BioServe.
"We created the BioServe Network to provide a singular source of biosamples. Tapping into the inventories of BioServe's own Global BioRepository and the Network members, scientists are assured of getting the highest quality biosamples they need for their research," added Modali.
Mitch Martin, Ph.D., Global Head, DNA Sciences & Genetics at Roche, commented, "The promise of comprehensive availability for biosamples is compelling. The BioServe Network will open new opportunities for researchers to take advantage of tissue samples in their research, while making the process of sample procurement more efficient. For this reason alone The Network should quickly become the de facto source of biosamples for researchers investigating a wide variety of diseases."
Dr. John Anson, VP Biomarker Discovery at Oxford Gene Technology, added, "As a long-standing customer of BioServe, we have been pleased with the company's service and responsiveness. The BioServe Network should open new opportunities for researchers to take advantage of tissue samples in their research, while making the process of sample procurement more efficient."

WASHINGTON - Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin had a message to deliver that the nation was at a dire crossroads, and thousands showed up Saturday at the National Mall to receive it. But Sunday, Beck reiterated that the pair would not join forces in 2012, leading a national ticket for president and vice president.
"Not a chance," Beck said in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," on the same network that broadcasts the radio and TV host's daily show. "I have no desire to be president of the United States. Zero desire. I don't think that I would be electable."
He added: "And there are far too many people that are far smarter than me to be president."

Beck also said he regretted but would not retract his controversial statement from 2009 saying President Barack Obama had "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
"It was poorly said. I have a big fat mouth sometimes and I say things," he said, "and that's just not the way people should behave. And it was not accurate."
Palin, whose appearance on the National Mall came nearly two years to the day after she was introduced as John McCain's running mate, told Politico in a brief interview that she and Beck "like what we're doing now." However, Palin, who resigned after two years as Alaska's governor, is widely presumed to have national political ambitions.
Estimates of the crowd size at Saturday's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial vary. A CBS News count based on aerial photography pegged attendance at 87,000. Organizers said it was closer to 500,000, and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., chairwoman of the congressional Tea Party Caucus, argued it approached 1 million.
Beck stirred controversy with his choice of date and location for the rally, which coincided with the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Beck called it a coincidence and "divine providence."
He continued to downplay the notion that Saturday's demonstration had political intent. Still, he said a mass gathering like that spoke to the fact that Americans were concerned over the direction of the nation.
"You don't get that many people to come to Washington and stand there and have that kind of a moment without signs, without any political messages, for no reason," he said in the Fox interview. That's "the first message" that politicians should get, he said. "People aren't really happy with things."

What a breath of fresh air from John Whiteford (Letters, August 28). Up here in beautiful Aberdeenshire the spectacular wildlife is being threatened by do-gooders with little or no understanding of the management of the countryside.
Already we have noticed dwindling numbers of small birds and indigenous species followed with a marked explosion of grey squirrels, herring gulls, magpies, crows, buzzards and foxes. Proper management of the landscape has been wrested from local farmers and land managers with their innate ability to control harmful predation. They have been marginalised by a vociferous cabal with a misguided softness for many species.

Stupid protection laws have been enacted by pressure groups, trusting that Mother Nature herself will correct the imbalance. What tosh. Even academics in the community become incensed at the thought of reducing the number of predators with facile reasoning for their preservation. The loss of farm animals and their offspring, the destruction by foxes, feral cats, et al do not come into the equation.
Only this year the numbers of local birdlife has noticeably declined in my own garden. But there has been no such diminution of buzzards, cats, gulls, magpies, foxes, crows or grey squirrels. Ignorance is, indeed, bliss for those who know little of the real country life.
