Blame game erupts over probe of Fort Hood suspect- Finger-pointing erupted between federal agencies Tuesday over Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan. Government officials said a Defense Department terrorism investigator looked into Hasan's contacts with a radical imam months ago, but a military official denied prior knowledge of the Army psychiatrist's contacts with any Muslim extremists.
Police: Man opens fire at Ore. lab, killing woman- A man opened fire with a rifle Tuesday at a drug-testing laboratory in suburban Portland, killing a female employee and wounding two other workers before fatally shooting himself, police said.

Bill Clinton urges Senate passage of health bill- Former President Bill Clinton urged Senate Democrats on Tuesday to pass health care legislation by year's end, pointedly telling skittish lawmakers that an imperfect bill is preferable to another failure like the one he and the party endured in 1994.
US imam wanted in Yemen over al-Qaida suspicions- A radical American imam who communicated with the Fort Hood shooting suspect and called him a hero was once arrested in Yemen on suspicion of giving religious approval to militants to conduct kidnappings.

Harris Corporation Demonstrates Remote Digital Imagery Display and Manipulation for Pathology Applications
ORLANDO, Fla.

The Harris imaging technology, originally designed for the U.S. Intelligence Community and civilian agencies, enables a pathologist workflow in a digital and collaborative context. By simply accessing local or wide- area networks, multiple pathologists can view, pan across and zoom into digital images as if they were looking through a microscope at the actual slides.
As opposed to radiology, where most diagnostic data today is collected digitally, pathology still uses glass slides with tissue samples that are examined under a microscope. If a second opinion is needed, the tissue samples must be physically shipped to other locations. The unique capability of the Harris technology to move very large images -- some tens of gigabytes in size -- transmit those images, and manipulate them without delay or latency, speeds the diagnostic process for patients and eliminates the possibility that the one-of-a-kind pathology samples will be lost or damaged.
During HIMSS, visitors to the Harris booth will be able to experience a 'pathology cockpit' to view and manipulate remote digital pathology images, annotate the images with digital notes, and delineate special areas of interest on the sample, such as a cluster of tumor cells. This experience and the associated notes and annotations can be automatically shared for collaboration with other pathologists and specialists any where in the world.
"This Harris technology is potentially disruptive and will create
enterprise intelligence through digital pathology. We are breaking through
previous limits in computing and image processing to enable collaborative
viewing, archival, and retrieval of large data volumes in a virtual
environment with no latency in the viewing experience," said
The digitizing of pathology samples is made possible by the development of
new, highly advanced scanners that allow whole-slide imaging. BioImagene,
Inc., a leading provider of total digital pathology imaging solutions
including the new iScan system for pathologists, researchers and drug
developers, is supplying the pathology slides used in the Harris demo. Harris
also is collaborating with researchers and pathologists at the University of
South Florida in
