Confab to highlight Israeli biotech cos.

More than 250 leaders in the life sciences industry, researchers, health care providers and investors will gather in Waltham beginning today for the third New England-Israel Business Council Life Sciences Summit.

The two-day forum at the Westin Hotel will feature more than 50 speakers who will discuss key issues affecting today's delivery of health care and present promising Israeli life sciences companies addressing tomorrow's challenges.

"The hope is to create new interactions between the Massachusetts and Israel life sciences ecosystems and invite a dozen Israeli companies to present their technologies," said David Barone, chairman of the council's life sciences committee and principal at Boston MedTech Advisors. "There are very significant collaborations already going on."

As a result of Gov. Deval Patrick's 2011 trade mission to Israel, EarlySense, an Israeli company that has developed a system to alert nurses to changes in hospitalized patients' conditions, later opened its U.S. headquarters in Waltham, Barone said.

This year, Covidien, a $12 billion global health care products company whose U.S. headquarters is in Mansfield, acquired three Israeli companies.

"The hunger for innovation and the recognition that ideas are the new commodity create a tremendous demand for forums like this," said Dr. Ido Schoenberg, a native Israeli and CEO of Boston-based teleheath company American Well Corp. "Innovation needs to be part of an ecosystem. It cannot stand alone."

Election is elephant in the room

After last week's Hurricane Sandy-shortened trading, Wall Street hopes for a full week as New York area residents get back on their feet and start rebuilding. More earnings are out this week, but the elephant — or donkey — in the room is tomorrow's election. Markets crave certainty and nothing has been more uncertain for the past few weeks than the presidential race outcome.

Many believe Wall Street has priced in a victory by President Obama while the "Greed is Good" guys are ready to rally if Mitt Romney's tax and fiscal policies prevail. Either way, traders will sleep easier once the election is settled — at least for a night.

Watch for a lightning-fast pivot to worries about the "fiscal cliff," the pesky combination of tax increases and federal budget cuts set to kick in Jan. 1.

Today, Toyota and Time Warner Cable report earnings. Tomorrow, CVS Caremark, Nissan and Dish Networks will report as we all watch the swing states and wonder whether the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center — Romney's Election Night base — will be hosting a victory party or not.

On Wednesday, Macy's, Prudential Financial and Whole Foods will announce earnings — and hopefully the presidential election will be decided.

On Thursday, Disney, Nordstrom, Kayak, Kohl's and Zipcar report earnings. We'll also get the weekly jobless claims report.

Covidien and JC Penney announce earnings to round out the week Friday and we'll get a read on consumer sentiment heading into the holidays.

Board game shows ploys of politics

You can wait until Tuesday to see who wins the White House, or you can take matters into your own hands by playing a new board game that allows you to "buy" constituents as a candidate yourself.

Cynical? Maybe. But the creators of "Politocracy" promise a good time.

"We want it to be educational, provocative and fun," said Mark Strangio, the 62-year-old former high tech worker from Newton who developed the game with Frederick Zimonja, a Scituate attorney. "It's a great way for people to challenge themselves and talk about issues that seem to have polarized the electorate."

Each player takes on the political profile of a current or past presidential candidate but starts out as a moderate with a certain amount of campaign money that he or she uses to buy the support of constituents.

When candidates accrue enough popularity, they roll the dice to advance to the Money Trail, where they raise as much money as possible, all the while trying to stay on course, despite polls, debates, the media and the occasional scandal.

Ultimately, two candidates advance to the election and roll the dice to compete for electoral votes in 10 parts of the country. The candidate with 270 electoral votes wins.

A few weeks ago, Strangio and a group of friends got together for a game, and Mike Palin, a self-described "bleeding-heart liberal," played Sarah Palin.

"I'm always getting asked if I'm related to her," said Palin, a 61-year-old software company CEO from Sudbury. "I thought it would be great to play someone who was so antithetical to my views. And it was. I liked the mixture of competition and conversation the game triggered."

"Politocracy," which began selling for $39.95 last month on www.politocracythegame.com, is still in its infancy, with only about two dozen sold to date. But Strangio, who plans to vote for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, hopes it will remain relevant long after the election.

"If you don't like the election's outcome," he said, "you can relive it vicariously through the game and play for a different result."

Shoe store doesn't fit with hotel

Plans for a boutique hotel in Boston's Downtown Crossing have garnered widespread support — but not from the owner of a longtime shoe store who must permanently check out from the building that will be gutted for guest rooms and new ground-floor retail.

"It's hard for me to look at it positively," said Foot Paths owner Steve Rollins. "I'm not saying I don't agree with the (hotel) concept, but it impacts me so severely it's hard to get up and be so rah-rah about it."

Rollins, who opened his store in a building at the corner of Washington Street and Temple Place more than 15 years ago, was excited by recent signs of a resurgence in the shopping district, including a skyscraper project to fill the gaping hole on the Filene's block.

But in August, shortly after he signed a five-year lease extension, Chicago developer Oxford Capital Group stepped in and bought the building and unveiled its 240-room hotel.

A clause in the lease allows for evictions in the case of a building demolition — even an interior renovation — so Foot Paths now has until next August to vacate the premises. The hotel project also will force out a package store and jewelry business, and office tenants from the upper floors.

At first Rollins figured he'd go kicking and screaming, but he found an adequate alternative up the street, renting the former Aldo shoe store space at 415 Washington for a second store that opened this weekend. The original will eventually close.

The downside there is the lack of display windows wrapping around a corner.

"The (shopper) traffic is a little bit better, but we're going to give up a lot of visual impact," he said.

To make matters worse, Oxford Capital recently wrapped 59 Temple Place in scaffolding to start repairs to the 11-story facade, obscuring Foot Paths' signs and shelves as it enters the crucial holiday shopping stretch.

"We're certainly sympathetic and providing whatever assistance we can," said Brad Mulvihill, a senior director at Oxford Capital, who will be in Boston for Wednesday's public meeting on the hotel project.

Peter Meade, director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, said he dispatched community planner Randi Lathrop to help the affected businesses.

"Hopefully this ends up being a win for them as well as for the people building the hotel," he said.

North Andover man's fight against breast cancer continues

PEABODY — Peter Devereaux didn't even know men could get breast cancer.

So when his doctor called to give him the news, Devereaux thought he had called him by mistake.

"I said, 'Doc, it's Peter Devereaux,'" he said, thinking his doctor would apologize and hang up.

He didn't, and within days Devereaux was back at the hospital, getting a bone scan and chest X-ray to see how far the cancer had spread within his body.

A Peabody native and North Andover resident, Devereaux, 50, was diagnosed with stage 3B invasive ductal carcinoma in January 2008. For the past 41/2 years, he has been battling the disease, which doctors discovered had spread to his hips, ribs and spine in 2009.

He is one of 82 men who have been diagnosed with male breast cancer believed to have been caused by water contamination at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina.

"It's the largest cluster ever recorded," Devereaux said.

Devereaux signed up for the Marines after graduating from Peabody High School in 1980. He served until December 1984, and in that time spent 16 months at Camp Lejeune.

"On average, you're 19 years old in the service, you work out like crazy, you work hard, you're drinking water by the quarts," he said. "None of us knew about the contaminated water."

In 2008, Devereaux said he received a letter telling him he may have come in contact with contaminated water. By then, however, he had already found a lump in his chest.

After his diagnosis, Devereaux underwent a mastectomy followed by numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. Doctors removed 22 cancerous lymph nodes.

"It makes you appreciate a lot of things in a hurry," he said.

In 2009, after he began experiencing shooting pain up his spine, doctors discovered that his cancer has metastasized. He's still fighting, currently undergoing chemotherapy to beat the cancer.

In the meantime, Devereaux is doing all he can to be an advocate, to raise awareness of male breast cancer. There's still a perception that breast cancer is a women's disease, and many men don't think it can happen to them.

"It's difficult for a lot of guys to come to grips with having, at the bottom line, a women's disease," he said. "We've still got a long ways to go, we've still got work to be done."

Fortunately for Devereaux, family and friends have rallied around. One of seven children, Devereaux said his family, his wife and his 15-year-old daughter have been incredibly supportive.

Manual transmission died on low-mileage Toyota MR2

Do you have any idea why the manual transmission would have failed in less than 60,000 miles on my 2001 Toyota MR2? When the transmission was removed, I was told the clutch was fine, which hopefully indicates that this 60-year-old driver still knows how to shift and hadn't abused the transmission. The car was serviced by the book.

Is your car fitted with the standard manual transmission or the sequential manual transmission? Toyota had problems with its sequential unit, but the standard 5-speed does not appear to be problematic. You also did not say what type of failure the transmission experienced. Bearing failure is usually preceded by increasingly loud "whining" noises, while synchronizer or gear failure usually manifests itself as grinding, failure to go into a gear or popping out of gear.

My first thought was to focus on the lighter-weight lubricants used in modern manual transmissions. Typically, ATF (automatic transmission fluid) is the lubricant of choice in today's stick-shift cars.

But that's not the case with your MR2. Toyota calls for GL4 or GL5 75W-90 gear oil, depending on whether the transmission is equipped with a limited slip differential or not. The heavier gear oil is used because the unit is a transaxle assembly that incorporates the transmission and differential in a single case.

The only thing I noted when checking the Alldata automotive database is the difference between maintenance requirements between "normal" service and "severe" service. No transaxle fluid changes for the life of the car are suggested under normal conditions. However, Toyota does recommend fluid changes every 30,000 miles under severe service conditions. I've always maintained that the vast majority of motorists operate their vehicles under severe conditions the majority of time.

In May, I awoke at 5 a.m. to a loud boom followed by my neighbor pounding on my door. My son's car, a 2001 Chrysler Concorde that was parked in the driveway, was engulfed in flames under the hood. It was a total loss. The local fire chief believed the fire started on the left side, as the battery was melted and the front left tire was gone. Any thoughts as to what may have started the fire? The car had a remote start that would easily kick on if the button on the key fob was accidentally pushed while in a pocket.

I've done a number of vehicle autopsies over the years, including several vehicles destroyed by fire. While I'm no expert on fires, the melted battery would appear to indicate your vehicle suffered some type of dead short between the battery and chassis. Did the vehicle have any aftermarket audio equipment installed? I've seen several fires that originated with a wiring issue involving aftermarket equipment.

I have a 1995 Nissan pickup with 224,000 miles, mostly on the highway. Since about 150,000 miles, I've noticed a moaning sound from the gas tank area when the weather is warm. I purchased a new gas cap but it still moans in warm weather. If I release the gas cap slightly, the moaning slows down or stops. No one seems to be able to tell me the cause and how to fix it. Can you?

The primary suspect is the charcoal canister purge valve. This valve is electrically controlled by the engine management computer to open and vent fuel vapors stored in the canister into the induction system after the engine is started. It may be that this valve is no longer working, thus the fuel tank builds excessive pressure because the vapors are not being vented. The Alldata database pulled up a Nissan service bulletin addressing this type of noise that suggested installing the updated purge control valve, hoses and mounting bracket from the 1997 model year truck.

At least check the valve, located next to the air cleaner, to see if it is operating properly.

Summer arts festival backed by Ted Cutler

Boston philanthropist Ted Cutler and his team are planning to turbocharge the city's sleepy summer arts scene with a world-class, 10-day outdoor festival in July that has already won the support of the mayor, the governor and a host of local arts organizations.

"I want to leave this as a gift to the city and the state," said Cutler, 82, a longtime benefactor of his alma mater, Emerson College, and several Hub charities. "Economically, the state and the city will be in a much better position with a big arts festival during a slow part of the summer."

"This is an opportunity to change the culture of the city. It's generational. If you take your child to the ballet or theater, they will take their child," added Cutler, who spent his college days working as a band leader and later booking big music acts in Boston.

Cutler, along with managing director Kevin Carlon, artistic director Sherrie Johnson and senior curator Randy Weiner, wants to highlight Boston's vibrant performing arts community and to make many shows free and accessible by bringing them to outdoor venues such as Boston Common, Copley Plaza or the Esplanade.

"I think it is absolutely extraordinary that Mr. Cutler is funding this," said Harron Ellenson, executive director of the Boston Landmarks Orchestra. "He puts his money where his mouth is and it's wonderful."

This summer's inaugural Outside the Box Festival, which will run from July 12-21, is dedicated to the late Boston Landmarks Orchestra founder Charles Ansbacher, who died in 2010.

"(Ansbacher's) vision was that arts should be part of everyone's lives, that we should try to make art as free as possible — even though artists need to be paid. That's why (Cutler) is dedicating this festival to him," Ellenson said.

The Landmarks Orchestra plans to perform a specially commissioned piece titled "Fiesta Sinfonica" — which features the orchestra playing with a salsa band — at the Hatch Shell during Outside the Box as well as other pieces designed to get the audience up and dancing.

"I think the festival's going to be absolutely wonderful for the city," said Ellenson. "The spinoff effect for all the arts groups in the city will be great."

Julie Hennrikus, executive director of StageSource, said a Boston "fringe" festival has been considered for a long time and the Outside the Box

idea, with its inclusion and local focus, is a "thrilling solution."

Modeled on the huge Edinburgh Festival Fringe and other international gatherings, Outside the Box could become a big Boston draw.

"We expect tens of thousands of people each day over the 10 days," Cutler said. "If we get to our third year — and we will — the entertainers will start to say that they have to play Boston in the summer."

"This festival will bring new audiences to the artists and new artists to the audiences," he added. "I believe this will be something like the city has never seen before."
