Ok so these lights seem a little gimmicky! indicator lights? I received my lights today and installed them. The front lights on each bar end provide ample light to draw attention to cars that a cyclist is approaching. It is perfect for city riding at night where there is street lighting but definitely don't recommend these where there is no street lighting. Rear lights are good too. Pretty good value and once they are installed you hardly know they are there. Get rechargeable batteries and these are a good investment.

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, 1836 - 1908. Statesman about 1908
- Scottish Art
This portrait of Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was painted shortly before his death. Born in Glasgow, Campbell-Bannerman entered politics in 1868 when he was the successful Liberal candidate for Stirling Burghs. From 1871 he held a number of important offices, including Financial Secretary to the War Office (1871-4), Chief Secretary for Ireland (1884-6) and Secretary for War under two Liberal governments (1886 and 1892-5). His prominent position within the party and his calm and reasonable manner led to his election as Liberal leader in the Commons in 1899. During the Boer War his denunciation of British conduct caused a national outrage, but throughout his final years in office as Prime Minister (1905-08) he proved an authoritative and progressive leader.

1. For the 2011 NYCHVS, a completely new sample was initially selected from the 2010 decennial census and updated by including newly created housing units, while the 2002 NYCHVS sample was selected from the 2000 census and updated for the 2005 and 2008 NYCHVSs.
2. The 2011 NYCHVS was weighted based on the results from the 2010 decennial census, while the 2002, 2005, and 2008 NYCHVSs were all weighted based on results from the 2000 decennial census. Since surveys based on different censuses produce different results (2010 versus 2000), it will be difficult to compare various data from the 2011 NYCHVS to the 2008 NYCHVS and earlier years.

Suspender Clip Industrial Garter Belt
There's a new garter belt in town, and it plans on keeping your socks up! A no-nonsense black elastic garter belt with four sturdy suspender clips that will clamp down on the thickest stockings. Made for Sock Dreams in the USA, this is the newest version of our exclusive style!
Fiber Content: Heavy woven elastic, reinforced stitching on 1 inch leg strips, non-rust, nickel-plated garter clips and velcro closure.
Sizing Tips: There are 5 inches of overlapping velcro closure on each side. This is completely adjustable.
The measurements of the garter waistband below are from end to end, including the velcro closure:
Large: 42 inches unstretched. with 10 inch long suspenders.
Medium: 35 inches unstretched with 9 inch long suspenders.
Small: 29 inches unstretched with 9 inch long suspenders.
There are four clips total, two for the front of your socks and two for the back!
Additional Info: It looks like the straps, at their longest setting but unstretched, are about 8 inches long, 9 inches including the clip. We were able to stretch them out to about 14 inches (15 counting clip) but we're not sure if they'd stay stretched that far when you actually have them on. You can always shorten them to about 5.5 inches, including the clip.
Socks and tights worn in the Small image are the Vertically Inclined in Black/Charcoal over the Color Tights in Purple
Socks and tights worn in the Large image are the O Marled in Denim over the Erika Microfiber Tights in Navy
Label: Sock Dreams
When will this be restocked in size large?
I need to order this in a size large. Is it just out of stock right now or does it only come in small and medium?
I lost one of my clips? Do you know where I can get it replaced?
I am very small (23 in. waist, 33 in. hips), so I'm doubtful that this will fit me properly. Should I give this a try, or try the Industrial Garter Belt? What are the major differences between the two belts? Thanks!
I see that they have velcro on them but are also being worn over tights. Is there a snagging issue with any part of these?
How long are the straps? I have really long legs so most of my 'thigh highs' only go about 4 or 5 inches above my knee. Will the straps be long enough to grab my socks?
I have a 44" waist...would the large fit comfortably on me?
Looking to surprise a special someone with some cute thigh high leggings and a garter. They happen to be a six foot tall, skinny, drag queen. Do you think your "one size fits all" still applies in this scenario? Thanks
I just got my first order of thigh high socks. Amazing quality, very quick shipping, and great prices. I am ordering more!

Could you introduce yourself and talk about your role on the project?
I'm Nels Anderson and I am the lead designer for Mark of the Ninja. I built about half the levels, did a lot of the systems design, some writing, a lot of gameplay implementation, and more things that I could probably never enumerate.
What is the backstory of Mark of the Ninja? Could you talk about the character we'll be playing in the game and what he is trying to do?
The game's backstory is focused on the player character's clan, the Hisomu. They're the only ninja clan to survive into the modern era. They did so because they developed a system of ritual tattoos that grant whoever receives the tattoos enhanced agility, reflexes, that sort of thing. Nothing supernatural, just the height of human capability. However, anyone who receives the tattoos will eventually be driven mad by toxins in the ink, so they're only used in times of crisis. And of course, the game begins at one of these times of crisis with the player's character being the one selected to receive the tattoos.
The Shank games were all action and while Mark of the Ninja seems more about stealth and planning. Why the change in direction? Is Mark or the Ninja all about stealth or will there be more action oriented sections?
Mark of the Ninja is unabashedly a stealth game. We did very intentionally design a lot of flexibility in the game, but they're all different expressions of stealth. So one could try to be a total ghost, being completely undetected and never killing anyone. Or they could move quickly and deliberately, setting up stealth kills and utilizing deadly ninja tools. So there's a lot of freedom with how the game is approached, but the unifying thing is being quiet and quick when doing so.
What are the inspirations behind Mark of the Ninja? How long has the idea for the game been rumbling around in your head?
I believe the idea came about between Shank and Shank 2. I think the observation was simply that there hadn't been many ninja games made in a long time, certainly none in 2D. Certainly there's a lot of richness for animation and gameplay opportunities, plus it's an easily recognizable archetype. You say "ninja" and people get it. You don't need all kinds of exposition explaining the character's history, his role, or anything like that. Personally, as someone that loves stealth games and has always wanted to design one, it's a perfect idea.
We've seen lots of ninja games before so what makes Mark of the Ninja special?
A big part of the game's genesis was that while there are some ninja games, they're all really, really intentionally action games. Since Tenchu, which came out something like 14 years ago, there haven't been any ninja games actually about being stealthy. And that's such a missed opportunity! It's the ideal fictional construct for making a stealth game. Plus, there hasn't been a substantive 2D ninja like since, what, SNES Strider?
Could you compare the difficulty in crafting a game like Shank to crafting something like Mark of the Ninja?
Oh yes, there were a lot of challenges. Foremost, 2D stealth games don't really exist. There are about four of any quality that I'm aware of and three of them weren't announced when we started Ninja. So we had to really do a lot of experimentation and iteration just figuring out how stealth gameplay can work in 2D. Beyond that, Shank is really a game about its moment-to-moment combat. The levels are really just arenas for the combat. Ninja, on the other hand, lives or dies by the level design. Move a light a couple tiles to a left and an encounter goes from impossible to interesting. And there's really only one way to evaluate how well that's working and that's by doing a ton of playtesting.
What's been the hardest part of the game to design? Have there been things that you thought would be hard that weren't?
Again, I'd probably go back to the level design. Even just the composition of the spaces, so that they didn't seem totally game-y, but actually felt like a tangible space without compromising good gameplay was challenging. Everything else kind of flows from the levels, that was really the largest challenge. Heh, I'm not sure if anyone ever overestimates the difficulty in building anything in games, but we did have an advantage of building upon pretty solid tech. We just modified and improved the Shank engine, which made things a ton easier.
How does the stealth mechanic work? Is it strictly a line of sight thing or do you have to worry about noise or other factors? What visual/audio cues are you giving the player to help them navigate the world?
This is an area of the game I'm especially proud of. So the enemy's sensor perception is both vision and noise. For vision, we change the character's entire appearance if they're in light vs. dark. In light, you can see all their colors, while in darkness they're mostly black with white lines and a few highlights. Basically your character becomes the "light gem" in the game. As for noise, every noise made in the game that enemies can hear is visualized with a sound radius effect on screen. It's a ring that spreads outward and if that ring overlaps an enemy, they hear it. If it doesn't, they don't. We wanted to keep this aspect of the game very clear and readable, so stealth and perception becomes another tool in the player's arsenal, not an opaque system they have to muddle with to decipher.
One of the frustrating things in some stealth games is that once you are detected you instantly fail/die, is that something you're implementing or not? What can players do to recover from detection?
Absolutely not. If detected, of course enemies will try to attack, pursue or relocate you, but you won't instantly fail. And if players are detected, they have a number of advantages over the enemies. The ninja is much more maneuverable, so he can climb on walls, ceilings, use a grappling hook, etc. to get to places enemies can't reach easily (or at all) and recover stealth. Beyond that there are various items, such a smoke bombs, that allow you to recover concealment.
From the footage I've seen it looks like traps will play a major part of getting through the game. How many different types of traps are there? Is the game structured so that you have to solve certain situations in a certain way or are you allowing for more emergent gameplay?
Heh, a lot? I'm not really sure how many different types there are exactly. But that's a big part of the reason we set the game in the modern era, as compared to some historical Japan. Unless you have supernatural elements, which we very deliberately wanted to avoid, you're a bit constrained by simply what's available in the era. In a modern setting, you can have things like laser tripwires, power grids and the like and it doesn't seem that discordant. But no, it's not that there's a certainly specific solution for any particular encounter and the player just has to find it. There are a lot of different solutions based on an individual's particular playstyle. There have been some playtests where someone solved an encounter in a way I never, ever imagined. And that's tremendously satisfying as a designer!
Shank and Mark of the Ninja have that same awesome hand drawn style. Was there ever any thought of doing a different art style? Would you consider that style to be a Klei signature?
It's mostly a virtue of our art team. Nearly all of our artists come from traditional cartoon and feature animation, so it's just something we're good at. Plus, most 2D games these days go for a retro esthetics. And while that's totally fine and certainly something I dig, it's not the only esthetic available for 2D games. Ubisoft Montpellier's Rayman: Origins is 2D and absolutely stunning. Really, that game is gorgeous. So while retro 2D is great, I'm excited we're leveraging modern tech and practices to do something that's 2D but still stylized and unique.
Any idea of when we'll be able to play the game?
We're still sorting out a final date, heh, and fixing the last handful of bugs in the game, so we can't say exactly when yet. But it will be later this summer.

Well, you have me convinced!yegyal wrote:I know a very prominent Rinpoche, whose name I shall not mention, that is very interested in ayahuasca, and I assure it's somebody you have lots of respect for. But you won't find any youtube clip about it because these things are done secretly and he seems to have a bit of a thing for secrecy. In fact, it's a pretty open secret, so I'm surprised that you wouldn't have heard about it. I'm sure others on here know who I'm alluding to, but are likewise not interested in naming names.
And what, in Buddhas name, is an "open secret"? Either something is secret, or it is open.
There are lots of deluded morons out there (including me) that are students of Namkhai Norbu (or any other Buddhist teachers), so this does not say all that much to me. Anyway, it is one thing to discuss psychedelics and another thing to endorse them.And Alex Grey is a long time student of Namkhai Norbu, who put together a book called Zig Zag Zen, so if you really are interested, which I kind of doubt, you can find lots of Buddhist teachers discussing psychadelics in that book.
The fact that the book has a foreword written by Stephen Batchelor, is published by Tricycle and is basically a vehicle to advertise Alex Greys artwork says a lot about what one is to expect. As for the other "expert" that wrote the preface (Huston Smith) well, his spiritual biography speaks for itself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huston_SmithDuring his career, Smith not only studied, but practiced Vedanta (studying under Swami Satprakashananda, founder of the St. Louis Vedanta Center), Zen Buddhism (studying under Goto Zuigan), and Sufi Islam for more than ten years each.
As a young man, he suddenly turned from traditional Methodist Christianity to mysticism, influenced by the writings of Gerald Heard and Aldous Huxley. In 1947, before moving from Denver to St. Louis, Smith set out to meet with then-famous author Gerald Heard. Heard responded to Smith's letter, inviting him to his Trabuco College (later donated as the Ramakrishna Monastery) in Southern California. Heard made arrangements to have Smith meet the legendary author Aldous Huxley. Smith was told to look up Swami Satprakashananda of the Vedanta Society once he settled in St. Louis. So began Smith's experimentation with meditation and association with the Vedanta Society of the Ramakrishna order.
Smith developed an interest in the Traditionalist School formulated by René Guénon and Ananda Coomaraswamy. This interest has become a continuing thread in all his writings.
Thanks to his connection with Heard and Huxley, Smith went on to meet Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), and others at the Center for Personality Research, where Leary was Research Professor. The group began experimenting with psychedelics and what Smith later called "empirical metaphysics."[6] The experience and history of the group are described in Smith's book Cleansing the Doors of Perception. During this period, Smith was also part of the Harvard Project, an attempt to raise spiritual awareness through entheogenic plants.
During his tenure at Syracuse University, he was informed by leaders of the Onondaga Tribe about the Native American religious traditions and practices, which resulted in an additional chapter in his book on the world's religions.
In 1990 the Supreme Court ruled that the use of Peyote as a religious sacrament by Native Americans was not protected under the US Constitution. Smith took up the cause, as a noted religion scholar and, with his help in 1994, Congress passed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendment, basically overturning the Supreme Court's decision.
Not really much there to tie him into Buddhism really, is there?

Amp in a Can redefines the portable tube amp
By Paul Ridden
February 27, 2013
OK, I admit to cheating a little bit with the title. The Amp in a Can is not really a tube (valve) amp at all, but rather a cheap and cheerful portable guitar amp housed in cardboard tubing that weighs less than 200 g (7 oz).
Electromechanical engineer Wayne Tubby made his first Amp in a Can prototypes a few years back while attending college. Though they're no longer fashioned from old rice pudding tins that spawned the name, the moniker stuck. A few design revisions later and the portable guitar amp is now made from 80-mm (3.14-inch) diameter reinforced recycled cardboard tubing with plastic end caps and a handy strap.
The shape of the amp is said to lend a little more bass and volume to the output from the single 2 W speaker hidden within the tube. Tubby told us that one of his prototypes did have stereo speakers, but the sound was better with just one so the idea was abandoned.
Sound from the proprietary amplification circuitry is controlled via off-the-shelf volume and tone knobs to the front. There's no gain or onboard distortion that you might find on mass-produced pocket amps, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's powered by a 9-volt battery and you plug in the guitar via a 0.25-inch audio jack round the back.
In order to raise enough funds to finalize the product and make it ready for shipping out to buyers, Tubby has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding bid. Unusually, there's just the one pledge level available at £23 (US$34), which will secure one of the first Amp in a Can units off the production line (assuming a successful conclusion to the campaign).
The pitch video below shows the portable amp in action.

The Best Your Team Can Be
SI looked at each team's schedule to devise a best-case scenario -- how the season could play out if all the key elements break right. The chart rates each game from -5 (certain loss) to +5 (sure win) and notes a handful of important matchups and calendar quirks that will make or break the season. The +1s are the games to watch -- win those, and the hope becomes reality.

The decline, which bests even the city's ambitious goal, is attributed to an unprecedented, all-hands-on-deck approach that began in 2008.
An international push to get drug companies to share patient-level data from their clinical trials got a shot in the arm Monday.
Crude oil prices were down nearly $2 a barrel at one point in trading Wednesday, the continuation of a trend that should result in gasoline prices hovering around $3 a gallon for the rest of the year, an oil industry analyst says.
1. North Carolina won five of its final six games to become bowl eligible after starting 1-5 and was rewarded with its fourth trip to the Belk Bowl on Dec. 28 in Charlotte, N.C., where it will meet Cincinnati. The Tar Heels became only the sixth team since the regular season expanded to 12 games in 2006 to start the season so poorly and make a bowl game. North Carolina, which did not participate in the postseason last year due to bowl sanctions, is searching for just its second bowl win since 2001.
2. Cincinnati will end its season in Charlotte for the second straight season against an opponent from the state of North Carolina after defeating Duke 48-34 in last year's contest. With newly hired Tommy Tuberville acting as a "watching head coach" (as he called it in a recent press conference), the Bearcats won despite the departure of coach Butch Jones and both of his coordinators after they accepted similar positions at Tennessee.
3. Despite a decided home-field advantage (Charlotte is located about 2 1/2 hours southwest of Chapel Hill), the Tar Heels are still in search of their first Belk Bowl victory. North Carolina – which is 2-0 all-time against Cincinnati – fell to Boston College in 2004, West Virginia in 2008 and Pittsburgh in 2009 – the last two losses coming by a combined three points.
TV: 3:20 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: North Carolina -3
ABOUT CINCINNATI (9-3, 6-2 AAC): The Bearcats – winners of six of seven – are striving for their sixth 10-win season in the last seven years after coming up short in an overtime loss to conference champion Louisville. Brendon Kay directs the country's 15th-ranked passing attack while Cincinnati is one of five teams in the FBS holding opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing per game. While Cincinnati has typically been proficient offensively, it hasn't always been efficient, committing at least two turnovers in four straight contests and eight times overall this season.
ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (6-6, 4-4 ACC): Marquise Williams filled in admirably once starting quarterback Bryn Renner was lost for the season in early November, accounting for 1,279 total yards and 13 total touchdowns while leading the Tar Heels to a 3-1 finish. Eric Ebron (55 catches, 895 yards), who has already announced he will enter May's NFL Draft, is widely considered to be the best tight end in the country. Freshman Ryan Switzer tied the ACC single-season record with four punt return touchdowns in only three games.
PREDICTION: North Carolina 27, Cincinnati 24

* Say something and lend a listening ear. Make sure that you are in a private location where you won't be distracted or interrupted. Explain what led to your concerns. Don't force the issue but allow your friend to confide in you at her own pace. Avoid placing blame on your friend and let her know you want to help.
* Understand that things are complicated. You might wonder why your friend still cares for her abuser and finds it hard to leave. Often, abusers show remorse for violence after it happens and promise to change. Your friend may hope that things will improve. Abusive relationships can involve some good times along with the bad, which makes it more difficult to leave.
* Offer specific ways to help. Little things can make a big difference. Perhaps you can provide transportation when needed or help with childcare. Volunteer to store copies of important paperwork or even an extra set of clothes at your place in case your friend needs to leave quickly.
* Create a safety plan. Together, discuss a place to go in case of emergency and prepare an escape kit which can be easily hidden. This may include a train or bus pass, prepaid cellphone with minutes, gift cards for grocery stores, etc.
* Support your friend in the healing process. Your friend has probably been told by her abuser that she's a bad person in one way or another. Help boost her self-confidence by discussing skills and strengths. To help with physical healing, encourage her to look into free resources like Give Back A Smile (GBAS), a unique program which enables volunteer dentists and laboratory technicians throughout the United States to restore broken and damaged teeth of survivors of intimate partner violence.
Established by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in 1999, the Give Back a Smile program celebrates its 15th anniversary of restoring smiles for domestic abuse survivors throughout the nation. In recognition of abuse victims and to spread the word about this program to prospective patients, the AACD Charitable Foundation has commissioned a love story about new beginnings written by popular Harlequin romance author Isabel Sharpe. The e-novella entitled 'For One of Your Smiles' tells the story of a young woman who escapes her abuser and learns to overcome insecurities and fear to love again. Details about the Give Back a Smile program are featured at the end of the book, providing an easy way to share program information with a friend in need. This e-book is available for 99 cents downloadable via Amazon Kindle and at www.AACD.com. Book proceeds go to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation's Give Back a Smile program.
* Guide your friend to community resources. Gather information on local women's and family shelters and domestic violence hotlines. If your friend asks for advice on what she should do, let her know that she's not alone and that there are people available to help. Encourage her to seek the confidential assistance of dating/domestic violence victim advocates.
There are no simple or quick solutions for helping a loved one who is involved in an abusive relationship. But offering meaningful support whether by listening, sharing resources, or opening your home as a safe haven, may provide the encouragement she needs to escape a violent situation and start a new chapter in her life.

The University of Massachusetts Medical School enters a new era of biomedical research, medical education and campus collaboration with the opening of the $400 million, state-of-the-art Albert Sherman Center. Home to Nobel Prize-winning research and the cornerstone of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Act, the Sherman Center was unveiled to the public on January 30, 2013 a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Gov. Deval Patrick.
"The completion of the Albert Sherman Center is a transformative event in the history of the Commonwealth's medical school," said Chancellor Michael F. Collins. "It would be hard to overstate the importance of this new center to our campus, or the positive impact of the work that will go on within it."
"Bringing a project as large and complex as the Sherman Center to reality, on-time and within budget, is a remarkable achievement that took thousands of people to accomplish," Collins said. "From the leaders of state government who had the foresight to invest in the life sciences, to those who helped envision a new design for medical education and research, to the hands that turned the first shovel of dirt and applied the last finishing touch of paint within, every person involved in creating this outstanding facility should be proud of their contribution."
"Our investments in education, innovation and infrastructure have come together to support the completion of the Albert Sherman Center here at UMass Medical School," Gov. Patrick said. "This landmark project is a testament to what is possible when we work together to invest in this generation and the next."
Named for UMass Medical School's former vice chancellor for university relations, the Albert Sherman Center was built in partnership with the University of Massachusetts Building Authority and funded in part by $90 million from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, which administers Gov. Patrick's Life Sciences Initiative, enacted by the Massachusetts legislature in 2008.
"As we continue to invest in innovation in all regions of the Commonwealth, the Sherman Center at UMass Medical School stands out as a leading research and educational institution not just for Worcester County but for the entire state," said Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray. "We look forward to the tremendous knowledge and growth this institute will lend in finding cures to complex diseases, supporting the medical and life sciences industries, and creating jobs and investment in Massachusetts."
Completion of the Sherman Center nearly doubles the research capacity of the Worcester campus with 512,000 square feet of interdisciplinary research and education space designed to maximize collaboration among scientists, educators and students across multiple fields. It is the new home of the Advanced Therapeutics Cluster, comprising the RNA Therapeutics Institute, the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and the Gene Therapy Center, and contains wet research space for more than 90 investigators. These translational scientists pursue novel bench-to-bedside research in emerging scientific fields with the goal of developing new innovative therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and cystic fibrosis.
"This is a major accomplishment for the University of Massachusetts and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," said UMass President Robert L. Caret, PhD. "The work taking place in this impressive new building will extend the boundaries of medical and scientific knowledge and strengthen UMass Medical School's standing as a world class center of research and education."
Standing nine stories high and topped by an additional two-story mechanical systems penthouse, the Sherman Center was designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge and the construction was managed by Suffolk Construction Company. It will serve as the hub of the Worcester campus, physically connecting to existing buildings with broad landscaped exterior plazas and two elevated pedestrian bridges.
"The state-of-the-art Sherman Center is not only an important economic development engine for Massachusetts, but it will also set a new standard for medical research and education aimed at curing diseases," said UMass Building Authority Executive Director Katherine Craven. "The UMass Building Authority is proud of the efficiency, teamwork, cost controls and quality management exemplified by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge, Suffolk Construction and PMA Consultants, in the success of the largest public facility construction in Massachusetts."
"The Albert Sherman Center was one of the MLSC's earliest investments, and at $90 million remains our largest investment to date," said Massachusetts Life Sciences Center President & CEO Susan Windham-Bannister, PhD. "The advanced therapeutic research that will be housed in this facility will generate promising new treatments as well as spin out new companies. UMMS, the state's first and only public medical school, is a science pioneer and the Center is very pleased to advance their work through this investment."
"ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge is honored to have taken part in a truly collaborative design and construction process," said ARC Associate Principal Mark Dolny, AIA. "From the beginning, the Chancellor inspired our team by reminding us that the faster we could design and build this new facility, the more quickly UMass Medical School's researchers could discover cures and save lives. That became our major focus, and we never lost sight of our mission. Our team was able to program, plan, design and construct the Sherman Center in less than four years, achieve LEED Gold certification, and do it on time and under budget. We're all immensely proud of this project."
Designed to foster collaboration between disciplines and bring students, faculty and researchers together in a single space, the building's main entrance opens from the quad into a dramatic two-story lobby. The first three floors contain areas for advanced medical and nursing education and aesthetically pleasing public spaces spread around a central atrium. Suites for the School of Medicine's five Learning Communities, which are at the core of the new Learner-centered Integrated Curriculum, and similar learning space for the Graduate School of Nursing are located on these floors. Also on the second and third floors are new areas for students to receive hands-on learning at the interprofessional Center for Experiential Learning and Simulation, working with advanced clinical mannequins and actors trained to present like patients with specific conditions.
"We are honored and privileged to be part of this ground breaking, collaborative construction effort," said Peter Campot, Suffolk's president of Healthcare and Science-Technology and chief innovation officer. "This unique project gave us an opportunity to implement the most innovative planning and construction methods in the industry, including virtual design and construction and six-dimensional facility modeling. These state-of-the-art processes and tools, along with our 'build smart' approach to construction management, allowed us to deliver a facility that will set a new standard for biomedical research for generations to come."
Setting the stage for diverse academic, social and community events, the Sherman Center's public spaces include a full-service café and dining area, a 350-seat lecture hall and a flexible function suite that overlooks the rest of the campus. The building has numerous conference rooms and seminar spaces of varying sizes. There is also a fitness center for students, faculty and staff.
"The opportunity to create this building came at precisely the same time we were redesigning our medical education curriculum and expanding our translational research work," said Terence R. Flotte, MD, the Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor of Medicine, executive deputy chancellor, provost and dean of the School of Medicine. "More than 400 members of the campus community had input into the evolution of those programs, and now the Albert Sherman Center is the physical manifestation of our collective vision for the future."
The majority of space in the Albert Sherman Center is devoted to biomedical research. Floors four through nine are filled with laboratories, core facilities, offices and conference spaces. When fully occupied, the Sherman Center will have some 90 principal investigators, leading laboratory programs with more than 700 scientists, graduate students and support staff.
The space is designed to have basic scientists exploring the fundamentals of biology at the cellular and molecular level located next to clinical researchers working on the processes of human disease and therapeutic development. Among these are many physician-scientists who, in addition to research, treat patients in more than 10 medical divisions—from pediatrics to surgery—at UMass Memorial Medical Center. These basic and clinical teams will work side-by-side with researchers who use large data sets and high-performance computing to ask and answer biological or population health questions. Working together, they will take new biological discoveries from the lab and translate them into treatments and cures for human diseases.
Much of the research in the new building will be done through the Advanced Therapeutics Cluster, which includes the RNA Therapeutics Institute, the Gene Therapy Center and the Program in Systems Biology. The Neurotherapeutics Institute, made up of a diverse group of faculty investigating central questions of neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and treatment, will also move to the new building, closely aligned with the programs in the advanced cluster. Advanced therapeutics are new classes of drugs that use genes and biologic molecules to modulate cellular processes and treat disease.
The Sherman Center will also be home to research in the Diabetes and Heart & Vascular Centers of Excellence; the Program in Bioinformatics & Integrative Biology; and the departments of Pathology, Quantitative Health Sciences, and Microbiology & Physiological Systems. Collectively, the researchers in the Sherman Center will focus on translating basic biological discoveries into new therapies for a range of human maladies; and in discovering the best approaches to improving the health of patients and populations.
For example, several scientists in the new building cluster around neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's, Alzheimer's and various forms of dementia. Across long, open laboratory bays will be teams characterizing the genetic foundation of these diseases; others will use DNA and RNA constructs to control the processes of these diseases; still others will study protein interactions at the molecular level of the disease. These teams will work alongside biochemists designing delivery vehicles for advanced therapies and physician-scientists who treat patients with the diseases while exploring potential cures.
Construction of the Sherman Center took 32 months to complete and the skill of more than 1,729 workers and 125 architects and engineers. According to a 2008 analysis done by the Donahue Institute, construction of the Sherman Center created $750 million worth of economic activity for the state. When fully occupied, the Sherman Center is expected to generate more than $250 million of direct and indirect spending annually in support of 1,600 jobs.
The Sherman Center was designed to meet the rigorous standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council for efficiency and sustainability. Among these elements are: a core of recycled steel, wood finishes harvested from sustainable forests, carpets and other textiles woven with recycled fibers. Rainwater from the roof and condensate water from the heating and cooling systems are captured and reused by the campus power plant, conserving 750,000 gallons of water each year.
The building also maximizes the use of natural light while deflecting solar heat to ease the cooling burden. A well-insulated building envelope, advanced heating and cooling systems and occupancy and daylight-harvesting sensors that adjust lighting and temperature in offices, labs, conference rooms and halls help make the Sherman Center 25 percent more energy efficient than a similar building of standard design. "The planners, architects, engineers and builders have done impressive work," Chancellor Collins said. "Now it's time for this school's community to do what it does best—advance biomedical research, education and clinical care for the benefit of all."

Zimbabwe begin Twenty20 campaign
Zimbabwe start their campaign in the inaugural International Cricket Council Twenty20 World Cup against Australia, who are champions in the other traditional forms of the game, in a floodlit match at the Sahara Park, Newlands.
The match starts at 6pm. Playing under floodlights might weigh heavily in favour of the Aussies but talented Zimbabwe wicketkeeper and middle-order batsman Tatenda Taibu is relishing an upset against the giants. "Generally, I like the competition against the best and I am looking forward to the game against Australia because personally I want to upset them.
"In Twenty20 cricket things happen so fast but if we take care of the controllable, results will take care of themselves. "As for me, I would want to get in there and bat all the way. Generally, I adapt quickly and I hope to be one of the key players for the team," said Taibu.
The late start means that both teams will only finalise their teams today but the Australians will start as overwhelming favourites given their vast experience in all forms of cricket while Zimbabwe are virtual novices.
Warm-up matches against Pakistan and Scotland at the weekend showed that the Zimbabwe players have been adapting to the shortest version of cricket with Taibu, Hamilton Masakadza, Chamunorwa Chibhabha, Stuart Matsikenyeri and Vusi Sibanda showing their ability with the bat.
The bowling department faces the biggest challenge and tonight they will come up against batsmen who can be ruthless like Andrew Symonds although injury worries in the Aussie camp might be a psychological boost for Zimbabwe.
According to reports from their camp, Australia are facing the prospect of playing Zimbabwe without a few key players, all of whom are nursing injuries -- all-rounder Shane Watson (strained hamstring), Michael Clarke (lower abdominal strain) and opener Matthew Hayden (back spasms). Hayden was on Monday night crowned the one-day international player of the year at the ICC annual awards.
Meanwhile, newly-appointed national cricket coach Robin Brown wants to change Zimbabwe's approach to games and make the players believe that they can win matches instead of just being competitive.
Brown, who replaced former Zimbabwe all-rounder Kevin Curran last month, believes aiming to be competitive is negative and that explains the need to approach matches with a view to win.
"We've got to change the culture of being competitive to winning culture and that is my first target. We've got to start winning games and I don't believe that we can't win games," said Brown.

The clock is ticking, my fantasy friends. The playoffs, at least for most one-year leagues, are just a week away. And with that in the back of everyone's mind, the chance to make one or two last-ditch efforts to improve your team for the playoffs is there for the taking. I mean, this is why you rationed your allotment of trades and waiver moves, right? But are there any risks worth taking right now in the world of NHL goaltending?
I say yes, there most certainly are. Just like we see every year around this time, a goalie appears out of the mist and finds a way to write a special story we never expected to read. This year, the potential for Ray Emery in Anaheim and Braden Holtby in Washington to convert opportunity into fantasy points clearly exists. But it's up to you to roll them bones and take a chance.
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be dissecting Emery's short and long-term fantasy value in March. When he was placed on the IR last season, I figured that was it. Avascular Necrosis?! He's done! But with a few weeks left in the season, and with him finally getting into a game last night against the Coyotes, he will be a possible tipping point in the Ducks' playoff push.
The same can be said for Holtby in Washington. As long as Semyon Varlamov is out with his knee injury, clearly the Capitals have no other choice than to roll with the 21-year-old rookie that was just named the NHL's First Star of the Week.
So let's take a look at what the future might hold for both of these goalies in the final month of the season. One goalie is simply looking to keep his hot streak going, while the other is right in the middle of a playoff push and heading for a crucial off-season that could easily determine the fate of his NHL career.
Will Ray Emery play enough games to bring me legitimate fantasy value?
Just like any veteran player, a goaltender like Emery comes attached with a fantasy reputation. Like a tag on a t-shirt, it gives you basic pros and cons of what you can expect from said player. In Emery's situation, experts will consider him a major fantasy risk due to his fight with Avascular Necrosis. He's also considered a risk due to the many off-ice shenanigans that have distracted him from playing at his best in years past.
Now don't get me wrong, those are both legitimate risks. But due to his horrific hip issues and his burning desire to return to the NHL, and then accomplishing that goal, I feel like the off-ice attitude problems are a thing of the past. He has matured through this process, his focus is now where it needs to be, and he now relishes any opportunity thrown his way. And where there's opportunity, there's always a chance for success.
Emery's revival story started in Syracuse, where his numbers were very good. It was a perfect test after the Ducks signed him in early-February. He faced a ton of shots and performed well enough to prove to his new organization that he was ready to help them make the playoffs during the absence of Jonas Hiller. But even with those numbers on his side, one must realize it doesn't always translate to success in the NHL.
I'm clearly no doctor, but while watching him make nine saves on nine shots in the third period against the Coyotes last night, I learned that they rebuilt his right-hip joint and excised about a five-inch section of his leg. They didn't replace it with a post or anything - it's just gone. But since the area they removed was not a weight-bearing bone, it hasn't affected his balance.
But since I have no real idea how this procedure affects him in the long run, I can only go off what I see. And in last night's relief effort, I saw a goalie that still has tremendous size, good active hands, a fierce presence and the ability to stretch and make timely saves. He definitely looked rusty and uncomfortable, but he made a few impressive stops that gave the Ducks a chance to fight their way back into the game. He also had a few situations in which he read the play extremely well and eliminated a scoring chance due to his active stick and quality decision-making.
With Anaheim sitting two points out of a playoff spot, don't be surprised if Emery starts on Wednesday. It's tough to reward Dan Ellis for such a bad performance through two periods, and he's a very streaky goalie that rises and falls with ease. The Ducks signed Emery for a reason, so now is the time to reward him for his relief effort with a start.
I feel Emery's value over the next three weeks is legit because he's a goalie you can acquire for very little cost, with the potential to sell very high. As of Monday morning, he was owned in just three percent of Yahoo leagues.
Anaheim's schedule is also very conducive for Emery's late-season value. They have four back-to-back sets and 13 games remaining. With that being said, I can almost guarantee that he'll play at least four more games. And if he happens to post a big win or have a dominant performance in one of those games, he'll get the next start and have the opportunity he needs to shake off the rust, re-adjust to the late-season NHL pace and gain some confidence.
In conclusion, I feel the odds are very good that Emery increases his fantasy value between now and the end of the season. And that means he's worth buying low right now and selling high, either at any point over the summer or sometime next season. If he plays well, he'll definitely warrant a look from other teams, since he will sign for cheap.
Could Braden Holtby play his way into a playoff role for Washington?
As of right now, yes, there's a chance Holtby could be Washington's go-to goalie in the playoffs. It all depends on who has the hot hand in the final 13 games. Bruce Boudreau has publicly stated he's rolling along with Holtby, so it's up to him to keep winning hockey games. The ball is clearly in his court.
Holtby, who went 4-0 with a 1.05 goals-against average, a .965 save percentage, notched his first NHL shutout and stopped 110 of 114 shots last week. That not only garnered him the NHL's First Star of the Week award, but pushed his season record to 7-2-2 with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage for the Capitals.
Eleven games might not be a large enough sample size for Boudreau to consider him an option for the playoffs, but the team clearly has the confidence to play well in front of him. And since the Caps are surging and getting much better performances from their star players, the pressure on the goalies is not nearly as high as it was a month ago.
Because of this situation, one could logically deduce that Holtby is just as capable, and therefore holds more fantasy value than Neuvirth down the stretch. Not only that, but Holtby is really hot right now. Neuvirth is fortunately healthy and ready to play, but won't get into another game until Holtby falters. And it's easy to keep things going in a positive direction when the team is scoring goals and winning on a nightly basis.
That leaves Varlamov as the odd man out. He's the most rusty of the three goalies and hasn't played since February 20. The suspected knee injury has not only taken him out of the lineup, but caused him to see a lot less practice time. He did skate over the weekend and saw some shots in practice, but it didn't last long.
Simply put, there are only 12 games left to determine who will be Washington's starter in the playoffs. And since it takes at least 2-3 games for someone like Varlamov to get back into a groove, I don't think there's enough time to get him where he needs to be. Those 12 games are much better off going to Holtby and Neuvirth – let them battle it out and determine who has the hot hand riding into the playoffs.
When you take into account all of those things, it becomes quite clear that Holtby has terrific fantasy value heading into this week. If Varlamov does find a way to play a few games before the season ends, the odds are lower that he's in a good enough rhythm to instill confidence in his teammates and coaching staff. The games he plays only takes away from Holtby's and Neuvirth's ability to gain confidence and momentum heading into the payoffs.
If a team has three capable goalies, all with their own valuable traits, why not ride the hot hand and see how far it will go? And with Holtby playing this well, does it really make sense to send him back to Hershey in exchange for a injury-ridden goalie that hasn't played in almost a month? All three goalies are also rested, so energy drain isn't a concern.
In that regard, the decision, in my opinion, is quite clear – roll with Holtby and Neuvirth. Instill more confidence in Holtby by riding out his hot streak. And if things falter over the next two weeks, instill your confidence in Neuvirth, who most people expected to be this team's playoff starter to begin with.

Neuvirth has 30 AHL playoff wins and a .926 SV% in the last two post-seasons. The Capitals HAVE to give him a shot and need to get him warm soon. If they ride Holtby and he starts stumbling with two or three games left in the regular season... well, it might be too late to get Neuvirth back in the groove.
They should be giving Neuvirth 6 of the last 9 games.
If he isn't winning, play Holtby for the last 3 to get him ready for playoffs.
Justin Goldman said:
I agree with Tarik here. Neuvirth needs to get back into the net as soon as possible. It's great to ride the hot hand in Holtby, but only if he is legitimately being considered as a playoff option.
There's only 12 games left. It doesn't make sense to give Varlamov any games. All three goalies are rested. Ride one into the playoffs and roll with them. The more I look at this situation, the more I feel right when I say Varly is simply the odd man out. Unfortunately, the volume of injuries is crushing his trade value. If the Caps can't get what they want for him, it might be better to just keep him and hope he gets over the injury issues. But I still like the Neuvirth + Holtby tandem way more than anything with Varly.

Excessive exposure to the sun early in life can make a person look older than he/she really is. This premature wrinkling and skin damage from sun exposure is called photoaging. Photoaging, unlike natural aging, results in coarse, dry skin; freckling and skin discoloration; leathery skin; and deep wrinkles.
The best way to minimize the effects of photoaging depends on:
No one can avoid the natural process of aging, as the skin thins and lines and wrinkles appear. Moles, scars, and birthmarks also tend to change as we age. In addition, sun damage over the course of a lifetime worsens the aging skin. Although there are many anti-aging creams on the market, advanced signs of aging and sun damage sometimes require more invasive dermatological procedures, including the following:
*Nonablative dermatological procedures do not remove the epidermal (top) layer of the skin. Ablative procedures remove the top layers of skin.

La Place de la Concorde is the big square that anchors the other end of Les Champs Elysees in central Paris. It was made famous by Charles Dickens in his novel A Tale of Two Cities. During the French Revolution, Place de la Concorde was known as Place du Revolution and was the place where the famous Guillotine stood during the French Revolution and executed thousands of French aristocrats during the bloody Terror.
I had just read A Tale of Two Cities in my senior English class that year, and I was happy to go to the place of such bloodshed. I could hear the sound of the carriages on the cobblestone paths carrying its victims to their deaths, the sound of the guillotine sliding down to behead someone, the sound of the cheers of the crowds, and one could visualize Madame LaFarge sitting in the front row knitting the names of the victims into her work.
Place de la Concorde has two fountains at each end of the square. It also has the 3,300-year-old Luxor obelisk that was given to Charles IX in 1829 by Mehmet Ali of Egypt. The obelisk has hyrogliphics and drawings all over it, and it dominates Place de la Concorde.
It is free to see Place de la Concorde and if you are a Dickens fan or a French Revolution aficionado, a visit to Place de la Concorde is highly recommended.

Here you can see the fascinating Obelisk, one of two that fronted an Egyptian temple in Thebes, later called Luxor, from the 13th centurt B.C. Its arduous, lengthy journey from the original site is fittingly depicted in gold leaf pictographs on sides above its base. The hieroglyphic stele was finally capped with matching gold leaf on its bronze pyramid top in 1998, replacing a cap that had been stolen in the sixth century B.C. Nightly, laser rays illuminate this cap to afford a spectacular sight. The mate of this Parisian obelisk is still at Luxor, whereas this red granite monument, a "gift" of friendship authorized by the Egyptian viceroy in 1831, was removed and transported by a French naval engineer in a process that took five years, culminating in its unveiling in October 1836.
What is so enthralling is to see the detail of the Obelisk's journey on the Obelisk itself. Via the aptly named ship Louxor, that journey from Egypt to Paris extended from December 1831 to December 1833, with a route that went from Alexandria to Toulon to Cherbourg to the Seine near the Place de la Concorde.The photographs in this entry display some of the monument's sides illustrating this complex transfer. The engineer, Jean Baptiste Apollinaire Lebas (great Revolutionary name!), was amply rewarded with cash and a medallion by King Charles X.
Definitely downplayed, a plaque on the side of the Obelisk that faces the Arc marks the over 1300 heads cleaved by the guillotine that its inventor devised as a "kinder", "quicker", "cleaner" way to execute people than other medieval methods of prolonged agony still in use just before his invention.
Today, the Obelisk stands in this lovely, octagonal square, flanked by two fountains by Jacob Ignaz Hittorff, the German architect who designed the square as we see it and created the eight female statues representing the largest French cities of his time that adorn the square's periphery. The Hotel de la Marine and the Hotel Crillon on this prestigious square are architectural feats themselves, both designed by the square's first architect, Louis XIV's architect, Jaques-Ange Gabriel.
This expansive, historic spot is conveniently reached by taking the RER 3 to Champs Elysses or Metro to Concorde.

For a sheer sense of open space in the middle of a bustling megapolis, from the Obelisk of Luxor, a pink granite monolith in the center, you can see a mile up the Champs-Elysees and a mile through the Jardin des Tuileries to the Musee du Louvre. La Madeline is a half-mile away on Rue Royale, and the Assemblée Nationale is another half-mile across the river Seine.
