With the launch of several companion diagnostics over the past year, we have officially entered the personalized medicine era. These diagnostics and follow-on therapeutics utilize molecular analysis technologies to diagnose and manage a patient's disease or predisposition towards a disease. The ultimate goal is to prescribe a therapeutic plan tailored to an individual's genetics and environmental profile. While revenues from companion diagnostics are just starting to trickle in, the push towards personalized medicine is driving several markets along the pipeline of drug discovery. From "bench to bedside," this healthcare trend continues to spur basic research technologies, biomarker discovery, pharmacogenomics services, and of course, companion diagnostics and therapeutics.

Earlier this year nearly 700,000 used cars were traded in and sent to be scrapped under the federal Car Allowance Rebate System, or “Cash for Clunkers.” Although it is illegal to resell any car accepted into the Cash for Clunkers program, there’s widespread concern that many of these vehicles will show up for sale around the country. So how can you know if the used car you’re buying was actually meant for the scrap heap? Carfax, working with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), has added the vehicle identification number of every car in the “Cash for Clunkers” program to its database. To help consumers protect themselves, Carfax now makes this information available for free at www.carfax.com/clunkers.

Candy and cookies often compete with notebooks and pencils, and as these temptations grow it becomes more challenging to encourage children to eat healthy. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 16 percent of children (over 9 million) aged 6-19 are overweight or obese -- a number that has tripled since 1980.

New approaches are needed to help humanity deal with climate change and other global environmental threats that lie ahead in the 21st century.
