MADRAS — A not guilty plea was entered Thursday in Jefferson County Circuit Court on behalf of Montana Marlatt, the man accused of murder and manslaughter in Sunday's shooting death of a 19-yearold Madras resident. Thursday afternoon, an audience of more Marlatt than 50 converged on the Jefferson County Courthouse to watch Marlatt's arraignment, which had to be moved from a smaller courtroom to the building's largest to accommodate the crowd.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry is practically home alone, toiling without permanent assistant secretaries of state for the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa. At the Pentagon, a temporary personnel chief is managing furloughs for 800,000 civilian employees. There has not been a director of the Internal Revenue Service since last November, and it was only on Thursday that President Barack Obama nominated a new commerce secretary after the job was open for
nearly a year. As the White House races this week to plug key holes in the Cabinet, the lights remain off in essential offices across the administration. The vacancies are slowing down policymaking in a capital already known for inaction, and embarrassing a president who has had more than five months since his re-election to fill many of the jobs. "I don't think it's ever been this bad," said Rep. Frank Wolf, R-va., who recently wrote a letter urging Obama to act swiftly to fill top vacancies. One of the worst backlogs is at the State Department, where nearly a quarter of the most senior posts are not filled, including positions in charge of embassy security and counterterrorism. And the new secretary of state is

Finding acancer'sgenetic fingerprint maybekey By Gina Kolata New York Times News Service
Scientists have discovered that the most dangerous cancer of the uterine lining closely resembles the worst ovarian and breast cancers, providing the most telling evidence yet that cancer will increasingly be seen as a disease defined primarily by
its genetic fingerprint rather than just by the organ where it originated. The study of endometrial cancer — the cancer of the uterine lining — and another of acute myeloid leukemia, published simultaneously in this week's issues of Nature and The New England Journal of Medicine, are part of a
sprawling, ambitious project by the National Institutes of Health to scrutinize DNA aberrations in common cancers. O ver the past year, aspart of this project, researchers have reported striking genetic changes in breast, colon and lung cancers that link them to other cancers.
One kind of breast cancer was closely related to ovarian cancer. Colon cancers often had a genetic change found in breast cancer. And about half of squamous cell lung cancers might be attacked by drugs being developed for other cancers. SeeCancer /A5
jumpsuit and appearing by video from the Jefferson County jail, Marlatt did not speak. Marlatt, 24, allegedly used a shotgun to shoot 19-year-old Devon Moschetti twice Sunday, in front of two onlookers at an informal shooting area southeast of Madras. Moschetti and two witnesses, including Marlatt's brother, had invited Marlatt to join them on their outing to the shooting area. Marlatt allegedly turned the shotgun on his brother after killing Moschetti, then dropped the weapon and ran off. Jefferson County Sheriff's Office deputies captured him nearby about 40 minutes later. SeeShooting/A4

The brothers finished building the bombs in Tamerlan's apartment in Cambridge, Mass., faster than they had anticipated and
