Lee's Cream Liqueur, the Old Town Scottsdale ice cream parlor that specialized in adults-only, alcohol-infused ice cream, is closing at the end of their business day Thursday, Jan. 24.
The novelty shop was launched by Lee Turner in July 2010. Her angle: instead of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, the homemade, premium ice creams were flavored with the likes of scotch, Jack Daniel's and tequila. Indeed, the alcohol content was high enough to require purchasers to show ID.
The angle evidently is still effective: she's closing up shop in order to set up a wholesale business. Turner has licensed a California company to produce alcohol-infused ice cream bars to be sold in supermarkets. And yes, she says you'll need to be 21 or older to buy them.
In the meantime, Turner's landlord, SouthBridge developer Fred Unger, says he's "talking to multiple people" about quickly taking over the space, 7137 E. Stetson Drive, while the tourist season is still in full swing. When does he hope to announce a tenant? "Yesterday," he said dryly.

Alex Rodriguez Wants To Be A Role Model
Alex Rodriguez claims in an interview with Sports Illustrated that he still wants "to be a role model" despite the "noise" surrounding the embattled New York Yankees slugger from the Biogenesis scandal.
"Look, it's concerning," Rodriguez told the magazine. "I have two daughters at home, and I'm sensitive to that, and above all, I want to be a role model, continue to be a role model -- especially to my girls.
"So all the noise sometimes gets on my nerves, but that's it. I can't let it get any further than that. I have a job to do."
Rodriguez's comments may raise a few eyebrows due to his entanglement and purported role in the Biogenesis saga.

I am not a number
My husband's first comment on this dress was "It reminds me of something." He can't remember what, but I have a feeling that it's the costume Patrick McGoohan wore in The Prisoner – a dark blazer with distinctive cream trim around the edges. If you've no idea what I'm talking about, there's a page of pictures at this site http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sixofone.society/prisoner-costume.htm. And while The Prisoner is an iconic piece of TV, Patrick McGoohan's very prim and proper 60s secret agent is not quite the look I was going for.
The construction of this dress is pretty neat. I guess it's probably standard for a cheongsam style, but I've never even worn one before, much less made one. The long white stripe on the side is mostly sewn into the side seam. Where it curves off onto the bodice it's sewn down to the front in the ditch for a few inches, and the free end is held in place with snaps so you can open it to get your head through. There's an invisible zip in the other side seam to give enough space for getting in and out. I'm amazed how unobtrusive the snaps have turned out to be. I'll post more details about the construction next time as I haven't taken any pictures of the inside yet.
The pattern is model 111 from the February 2012 issue of Burda. The long and wriggly pattern pieces for the white bands were a real pain in the neck to trace and cut out. Burda recommends block fusing interfacing to the fabric before cutting, and that turned out to be a big help.
Here's a back view. Not much to see. The contrast collar and sleeve bands save it from the coffin back effect though.
I'm actually very pleased with this dress, despite the accidental Number Six effect. It's smart but unexpectedly comfortable!
Be seeing you.

Wow! This dress is a complete knock out. I love it!!! It looks fantastic on you as well!
It is perfect. as usual you know what suits you. it looks so well made.
lovely dress! Your shoes are fabulous too🙂
What a great dress. You look terrific in this. What fabric did you use?
What a fantastic dress!
That is absolutely STUNNING!!! I love it. I bought that issue of Burda and am planning to make that dress. I look forward to the seeing the inside. You always do such fabulous work and those shoes are awesome.
Even if it is slightly reminiscent of Number Six, you can't say they weren't stylish on that island! The black and white really looks great.
Wow what a stunning dress and it looks so beautifully made. I think you look much better in it than Patrick McGoohan would have!
I love this dress on you! It is very clean, smart… I am impressed (but not surprised) by how you were able to apply the white borders with such uniformity. With such contrast as white on black, even a little bit of wiggliness would be obvious at first glance. Brava!
OH I just LOVE this dress on you! Fantastic! I can't wait to see the construction deets!
Outstanding! I love everything about this dress. Not the least the awesome precision of that white edging strip… very impressive indeed!
The dress is striking and the fit is spot on. There is something a little reminiscent of the 60s about it (maybe the colours?) but I think it looks great in a "stylish without even trying" kind of way..
That is an AMAZING dress. You are an AMAZING maker of dresses. You were born to wear this. I love the contrast band.
As usual the dress is wonderful and you look great in it.
For some reason it reminds me of a James Bond film but I can't remember why. Very Evil Bond Girl, I think.
This is a real winner and not at all No. 6. (I named a character in my Chinese prison play after No. 2, Lao Erh but nobody gets it) but it is really a dream dress. I must say, however, the photo setting is a little Prisoner, but I guess that's an accident!
You've made the most out of that Burda issue and I'm so envious. All the dresses I would if I had time…
I am speechless! Great dress!
Oh gosh, it looks great. I really want to make this dress but I was really confused by the instructions so decided to bench it for now. I'll be looking out for your construction details post!
Oh wow, lovely just lovely!!! You look awesome great job!!!…I'm a beginner sewer, but I would love to make something like this!!!….
I really really really really (well you get the idea) love this dress.
The dress looks wonderful on you. I studied the pattern when my magazine arrived and wondered if it would be a pain to cut and sew the contrast trim piece. It really makes the dress unique.
This is stunning…bold and graphic but completely feminine. Nice work, Catherine Daze…in fact, uou look like a 10!
Gosh! This is amazing! It is absolutely stunning
Amazing! The tortuous details and precision work on that dress would kill me! NICE WORK!!

Hospitals Feel Forced to End Free Formula SamplesLauren Jimeson
My first daughter was born in Florida and our hospital experience was completely different than it was here in New York City. The hospital in Tampa was family centered and did not have a nursery (except for NICU patients,) while the one that I gave birth to Avery in had us sharing rooms (which was completely awful) and the nurses kept the baby in the nursery most of the time.
With my oldest, I knew I wanted to breastfeed from the beginning, although I wasn't sure how easy it was going to come for me. While at the hospital, I had the lactation consultant come in to help me make sure that Harlan was getting the correct latch so that she was getting her nutrients. Although the nurses in the hospital knew that she was being exclusively breastfed, I still went home with a diaper bag full of formula. Rather than refusing it, I took the formula home just in case I ever needed to use it for emergency purposes. I never did end up using the formula and gave it to a friend that did not breastfeed.
When I gave birth to Avery last month, I told the nurses from the beginning that I was going to exclusively breastfeed and they were not to give my daughter any formula. It made me more nervous this time around because Avery was in the nursery most of the time. I made sure to tell them to put a big sign in her bassinet that she was only to be breastfed. After I made it very clear to them, I was never offered formula for her and went home empty handed without any formula samples.
I am not sure if the hospital did not give me samples because they knew I was only breastfeeding, or if they are part of the 44 percent of hospitals that do not give away formula samples to new moms. More and more hospitals are feeling the pressure to forego the free formula samples and encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies.
As reported on Fox News, consumer advocates drafted a letter to more than 2,600 hospitals to ask for them to stop giving out free samples of formula to new mothers saying that it could be seen as an endorsement. They say that giving away the free samples discourages moms from breastfeeding, which has a variety of health benefits to both mom and baby.
This was done in a move to boost the U.S. breastfeeding rates. Although the World Health Organization says the breastfeeding rates are increasing in the U.S., just 14 percent of six month old babies are exclusively breastfed. Health officials would like to increase that to 26 percent by 2020.
Although I am exclusively breastfeeding Avery now and plan on doing it for at least the first year, I still would have taken the formula samples this time around had I been offered some. Not because I plan on using it, but just in case something happens and I am not around to feed Avery. I pump and leave breast milk in the freezer just in case, but I'd hate for there to be an emergency and then have them run out of it and have nothing on hand. I realize these are extreme cases, but I know I am prepared if they do come about.
While I am a huge advocate of breastfeeding, I do not think that forcing hospitals to stop giving away free samples will encourage more mothers to breastfeed. Some of the mothers that receive the free samples really could use it because of financial issues. Hospitals aren't the only place that mothers are getting free formula. Just two weeks after giving birth to Avery I received several formula samples in the mail. I've also been offered some at her pediatricians office.
Instead of spending time and money on writing these hospitals letters, why don't they make more of an effort to get breastfeeding education into hospitals so that mothers can really make an educated decision when it comes to the nutritional needs of their baby.

Alan Pardew deserves every word of criticism that has been sent his way.
The players haven't performed as they were expected to, but when an entire team simultaneously loses form, the attention inevitably shifts to the manager.
Although he guided the club to a fifth place finish in the Premier League and was named Manager of the Year for the 2011/12 season, Pardew has made some glaring errors that stretch back to the end of the last campaign—errors he continues to make 14 games into the new season.
Read on for five of the most important things Pardew is getting wrong on Tyneside.

Beaconsby Joanne Harris Janice Galloway Maria Mccann James Miller A. L. Kennedy Liz Jensen Clare Dudman Jem Poster Adam Thorpe Jay Griffiths Mike Robinson David Constantine Alasdair Gray Rodge Glass Adam Marek Toby Litt Tom Bullough Holly Howitt Nick Hayes Gregory Norminton Siân Dafydd Melangell Lawrence Norfolk
Beacons throws down the gauntlet, challenging well-known authors to imagine our worst and best possible futures and, in imagining them, to help us change things for the better. From Joanne Harris' powerful vision of a near future where 'outside' has become a thing of history to Nick Hayes' beautifully illustrated tale of the bond between man and nature, this is where dystopian satire meets speculative and historical fiction, metaphorical flights of fancy, quiet tragedy, and farcical comedy, crafting stories that are as various as our possible futures. Provocative, encouraging, and deeply moving, Beacons represents the best of British writing - and collectively illuminates the immediacy of the ecological problems at hand. All author royalties will go to the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition, the UK's largest group of people dedicated to action on climate change and limiting its impact on the world's poorest people.
Madame Bovaryby Gustave Flaubert Adam Thorpe
A new translation by Adam Thorpe Gustave Flaubert once said of his heroine, "Emma Bovary, c'est moi." In this acclaimed new translation, Adam Thorpe brings readers closer than ever before to Flaubert's peerless text and, by extension, the author himself. Emma, a passionate dreamer raised in the French countryside, is ready for her life to take off when she marries the decent, dull Dr. Charles Bovary. Marriage, however, fails to live up to her expectations, which are fueled by sentimental novels, and she turns disastrously to love affairs. The story of Emma's adultery scandalized France when Madame Bovary was first published. Today, the heartbreaking story of Emma's financial ruin remains just as compelling. Translator Adam Thorpe, an accomplished author in his own right, pays careful attention to the "complex music" of Flaubert's language, with its elegant, finely wrought sentences and closely observed detail. This exquisite Modern Library edition is sure to set a new standard for an enduring classic. Praise for Adam Thorpe's translation of Madame Bovary "What leaves me reeling with each rereading (and Adam Thorpe's new translation is, pardon the pun, to die for) is the use of language. There can be no doubt as to the reason for Flaubert's brain popping at the top of the stairs when he was fifty-eight. He broke it scouring for perfect sentences, words, le mot juste."--Russell Kane, The Independent "Flaubert described his great work as a poem, so it is fitting that a poet and novelist of Thorpe's stature should turn his hand to it."--Robin Robertson, The Herald (Scotland)

Comparisons of pay between metropolitan areas, 2007
July 28, 2008
In 2007, average pay in the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area was 19 percent above the national average, the highest among metropolitan areas studied by the National Compensation Survey (NCS). The next highest average pay was in the New York-Newark-Bridgeport metropolitan area, which was 15 percent above the national average.
In contrast, pay was lowest in the Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas, metropolitan area with a pay relative of 76, meaning Brownsville workers earned an average of 76 cents for every dollar earned by workers nationwide. The next lowest average pay was in the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area, where workers earned an average of 85 cents for every dollar earned by workers nationwide.

Barcelona is home to truly excellent museums, many of which are free with the Barcelona Card including the Chocolate Museum, the kid-friendly CosmoCaixa Science Museum, the Fundació Joan Miró, the contemporary MACBA and the Barcelona City History Museum, which houses incredible excavations of Barcelona's ancient Roman Forum.

There they lay: Four little aliens half-buried in the sand where the children tossed them as they raced, screaming happily, toward their beach house and impatient parents.
No, these miniature plastic beings were not from Mars or a galaxy far, far away but from a country called China. Now they waited in suspended violence for the children to come back and resume the war to save the universe.

Take Five With Wendy Alane Wright
Wendy had several pop and club hits, including the 1990 single Feel The Rhythm, which enjoyed rotation on VH1, BET and MTV and reached #20 in the Netherlands top 40 and Unforgiven (1992), which reached #30 in the Dutch Disco Dance Charts. Wright also co-wrote, co-produced and performed featured vocals on the Tatjana Simic pop hit Feel Good," which reached #25 in Netherlands Top 40, went platinum in Scandinavia and appeared on numerous compilation CDs worldwide.
After extensive live performances in the US during the years 2000-2006 with bands including the jazz group Asha, swing band Art Deco and His Society Orchestra and her own R&B blues band Billy's Night Out, Wendy's first solo album, As I Am, was released January, 2007. The tracks are pop, jazz and ballads. As I Am is available at her website http://www.wendywright.biz, http://www.musicforte.com and http://www.myspace.com/wendyalanewright.
Instrument: vocals.
Teachers and/or influences? My greatest influences were my parents. My father taught me to love music and shared with me music from the greatspeople like Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, and Gladys Knight. My mother also loved music and played it most of the day, specifically people like Neil Diamond and Fleetwood Mac. In fact, one of my greatest memories from childhood was laying around on the living room floor in the dark with my family listening to Neil Diamond. Being brought up by a white mother and a black father, I was exposed to white and black/soul music; therefore my own music often has elements of both. My personal musical influences, as I started to perfect my craft of singing, were Anita Baker, Michael McDonald, John Waite, Barry White, Mariah Carey, Jean Carne, Whitney Houston, Teena Marie, and more.
I knew I wanted to be a musician when... I knew I wanted to be a musician when I was a child and sat in my room all alone with my record player in a boxthat's how they used to make them. I would put on Barry White's You're The First, Youre The Last, Youre My Everything and sing and cry my eyes out. I fell in love with music from that song. And all I ever wanted to do was sing since then.
Your sound and approach to music: My approach to music is simple. I like great harmonies, pretty music, live instrumentation, especially piano and saxophone. I either write lyrics and then work them into music, or listen to a track and a melody and lyrics just come to me. I love being in the studio, improvising on a track, listening back and deciding what I want to keep and finding those magical moments. Those magical moments I am talking about are the ones you hear on other peoples records that are so incredible to you that you rewind them and play those moments over and over again. It may be a catch in the throat or the way the line lands on you and touches you emotionally. For me I love those moments in music and the process of uncovering them when I work.
Your teaching approach: I teach vocals at times and I find the greatest impediment to people is their fear of others and the opinions of others. I believe strongly that you should work to be all you can be. Don't worry about other peoples journey, or sound, or style. Just be yourself. And a lot of making music is just trusting what comes from your heart and soul and going with it. I help my new students get over the fear of others, and try to focus them on just expressing whatever they feel. So I focus on performance instruction, rather than vocal. I think a singer either has a voice or doesn't, and if they have the burning desire within them to train it and grow it they will. The desire is something you can't teach.
Your dream band: My dream band would be music that is R&B-based, with great mid-tempo grooves, live piano, sax, bass and drums. Heavily instrumental along with really moving lyrics, pretty chords and changes and a group of people who just like to have fun. I would love to work with Eric Marienthal, Michael McDonald and Brian Culbertson.

Well, there is a ton of stuff going on. I hardly know where to begin!
As 2012 comes to a close, so does Weirdo Wednesday Supper Club. I have decided to end the show in it's weekly format after three consecutive years. (December 26th will be the final show) It is a bittersweet parting, but I'm just clearing room for new adventures! The show will continue on quarterly, and it will be bigger and even more over the top. Onward and upward! To stay involved with the final shows and to find out about the new ones click here.
December 18th will be my first of many radio spots as a part of the new show on 89.3 KCUR called "90 Mile View". The show will feature a handful of people whose lives are dramatically different from the average NPR listener. It's a part of their existing show, Up To Date. I have already done a video shoot for their website, and the preliminary interviews are underway. The show plans to keep up with me for the next two years! Pretty fun stuff! Stream it live or listen to the archives here.
Music! I have a new project that will debut in the new year. It's called Rum Doxy, and I'm playing drums again! Yay! Super fun. I've also decided to be a more frequent member of The Silver Maggies. There will be a new recording released in January, and you can expect to see me wielding a guitar and singing some songs with those boys. I also plan on touring quite a bit in 2013, solo and with some friends and collaborators. If you would like me to come to your town, feel free to drop me a line and let's work it out. I love to make new friends. Check out some of my solo work, and let's book some shows!
I have been crafting like a mad woman! Lots of goodies for the holidays and beyond. My cassette wallets are selling like hotcakes. I can't seem to make them fast enough. My holiday ornaments (made from LP vinyl) are a big hit too. I also make special orders, so be sure to ask me about it.
I recently had my first show at a comedy club, and I loved it! Watch out! I plan on doing quite a bit more of it in the next year. I'll be sure to post any and all details as they come!
I will also start teaching instrument building workshops in early 2013. I'm looking forward to working with a new group of students and all of the adventures that will bring. More to come…

Parting Ways EPMarch 28th by John-Michael Tags: German producer, ioqe, Mr.Ebs, Parting Ways EP, Retrotation
One of secret producers that I absolutely love has been working hard and is finally putting something out that I want to share with you all. German producer ioqe has put together a 3 track EP with two other producers, Mr.Ebs & Retrotation.
ioqe's style is so fresh and what I hope to hear more from other producers when searching for new music. Mr.Ebs is another German producer who contributed a track and it's such a solid contrasting tune compared to ioqe's. It has a lot more of the bassy tones spread all over the tune with the same beautiful melody behind it. Retrotation is a producer from the States and resides in Penn. His version is very laid back and has some fantastic samples that he used wisely to create extremely well rises. The violin parts add such depth and beauty to the tune.
This is a FREE release due out April 1st and man I can't push this one enough. It's absolutely a masterpiece. It's such a blessing to be connected with such artist from across the globe.
Much love and respect to these three talented artist.

What a shame to see Powell leaping into the "basket of deplorables" that Hillary Clinton so memorably detailed in some of her recent talks
Before Monica Lewinsky, there was Nan Britton, who scandalized a nation with stories of carnal adventures in a White House coat closet
Had the affair come out in 2015, there would almost certainly be a backlash against the jokes, the memes, and the cruel attacks on Ms. Lewinsky, and the bullies themselves would likely be shamed and ostracized online.
Robert Fulford: At the core of Whiplash, an Oscar finalist for best picture, stands a teacher who happens also to be a monster
When onetime White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky broke her silence with a major speech this week, one subject brought her nearly to tears.
Lewinsky may have been destroyed for her affair with Bill Clinton, but it wasn't by the Internet. Twitter didn't even exist at the time; Google was a start-up living in a garage in Menlo Park
In a tearful public address, Lewinsky, now 41, described herself as 'the first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet'
Vanity Fair will publish an article by Monica Lewinsky about her life and affair with Bill Clinton on Thursday, the magazine says in a preview that includes a few excerpts from the piece.
Hillary Clinton believed that her husband's affair with the White House intern was merely a 'lapse,' according to newly released private papers from a close friend
Is it a breach of piety to wonder who will play the role of Monica (or if indeed Monica will be played at all)?

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
The need for new tools and technologies to decrease the cost of drug discovery and reduce animal testing has been long discussed. Recently, the director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA called for "new evaluative tools for predicting, understanding, and assessing the effects of [drugs] in the relevant species (people)." Such tools have potential for reducing costly late-stage failures by providing an in vivo-like early-stage evaluation of efficacy and toxicity.
Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures, in formats such as spheroids, gels, scaffolds, and bioreactors, have great potential as predictive tools in drug discovery. 3D cell cultures possess many features that mimic the in vivo microenvironment, which are lacking in traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures such as physiological cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and mass-transfer gradients.
With the implementation of 3D cell cultures into the drug screening process, more physiological data can be obtained long before animal testing. Companies can then make better-informed decisions about which compounds are most promising, lowering the cost and time to get a drug to market.
Cellular spheroids, self-assembled microscale 3D aggregates of cells, have significant potential as models for drug screening. They are reproducible, versatile, and well-characterized. Spheroids possess physiological cell-cell contacts, secrete their own ECM, have nutrient, drug, and oxygen mass transfer gradients, and are often used as 3D models of many types of avascular tissues, tumors, and embryoid bodies.
3D Biomatrix Perfecta3D® Hanging Drop Plates facilitate easy and consistent spheroid formation in a 96- or 384-well format. Users pipet a cell suspension into each well, and, due to the well geometry, the suspension hangs below it (Figure 1). Since there is no surface to attach to, the cells aggregate and form a spheroid in the well.
The hanging drop confines spheroid formation to one per well, allowing the user to control the spheroid diameter with the type and number of cells in each well. Spheroids composed of 50–15,000 cells have been formed in Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates. Access holes allow for media exchange and the addition of compounds, reagents, or additional cells.
This article presents data on utilizing spheroid cultures to evaluate anticancer drugs and to build tissue and tumor co-culture models. This data demonstrates the potential of spheroid cultures as a predictive drug discovery tool.
In a published study, the efficacy of two anticancer drugs with distinctly different mechanisms was compared in 3D spheroid cultures and traditional 2D cultures. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a compound that inhibits cellular proliferation, and tirapazamine (TPZ) is a hypoxia-trigger cytotoxin that causes DNA damage.
Both 3D spheroid and 2D cultures of A431.H9 human epithelial carcinoma cells were treated with 10 µM of either 5-FU or TPZ. The data in Figure 2 show that A431.H9 cells are more resistant to 5-FU under 3D spheroid than 2D culture. However, the opposite is true for treatment with TPZ. A431.H9 cells were more resistant to TPZ when cultured in 2D than 3D spheroid culture conditions. A combination drug treatment of 5-FU and TPZ on the 3D spheroids demonstrated an additive effect (partial data shown in Figure 2 inset).
The discrepancy between the 2D and 3D data stems from the mechanism of each drug and its efficacy in each cell culture configuration. 5-FU targets proliferating cells. Therefore, it is more effective against the proliferating cells that comprise the 2D monolayer culture and suggests that cells have varying proliferation rates, including some quiescence, in the spheroids.
In contrast, TPZ is a hypoxia-activated cytotoxin. It is more effective in the spheroids, where both oxygen consumption and diffusion gradients create a hypoxic core similar to that of solid tumors. The additive effect of the two drugs suggests that the 5-FU killed the proliferating cells on the outside of the spheroid, and TPZ targeted the cells at the hypoxic core.
These data exemplify how 3D spheroid cultures can reveal efficacy data that is not always evident in 2D cultures. For thorough evaluation of compounds, 3D spheroid cultures offer an environment that mimics avascular tissues and tumors.
3D cultures can be made more relevant by including two or more cell types representative of the tissue or disease being studied. One cell type cultured in isolation may respond dramatically different to a compound than it would in vivo where multicellular interactions are influential. Co-cultures also can be used to study the effects of cell-cell interactions on cellular migration, metastasis, and differentiation.
The ability to access spheroid cultures from the top of the Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates gives the user access to several configurations of co-cultures (Figure 3). Homogeneously mixed co-cultures were obtained by mixing several cell types prior to seeding in the plates. Concentric spheroids were obtained by seeding one cell type, allowing time for spheroid formation, and then adding a second cell type.
Janus spheroids were achieved by separately culturing spheroids of different cell types before pipetting one spheroid directly onto another through the top of the well, where the two spheroids then merge together.
In each co-culture type, the ratio of cell types can be altered to best represent the tissue or disease being modeled; for example, a representative ratio of cancerous to noncancerous cells can be used to study metastasis and the effect of microenvironment on cancer growth.
The flexibility of cellular configuration and number make spheroid co-cultures particularly useful for studying the effects of a drug on the interactions between several cell types in cancer or stem cell research.
Spheroid models have great potential as drug-evaluation tools as they exhibit in vivo-like cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions, possess metabolic, proliferative, and diffusion gradients, and are simple to use on a large scale. The introduction of multiple cell types into 3D spheroid models further increases the relevance of the models. 3D cell cultures can be beneficial early on in drug screening, especially when evaluating compounds with mechanisms dependent on proliferative rates or oxygen concentration.

When the late President John F. Kennedy in 1962 committed to landing an American on the moon during that decade, millions of people simply assumed it would be done.
As Kennedy put it, we chose to take on the challenge and others like it "not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
All humankind, not just Americans, now face what in many ways is a task more difficult than space exploration: treating those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
But instead of vowing to beat the illness quickly, some U.S. policy makers want to take the cautious approach.
President Barack Obama's administration is working on the first comprehensive approach to the disease. It has been labeled the National Alzheimer's Plan.
To the president's credit, he wants it to be a comprehensive approach to find effective treatments for Alzheimer's and to help those already afflicted with the disease.
About 5.4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's or similar dementia. Hundreds of thousands of new cases are diagnosed every year.
A draft of goals for the national program sets 2025 as the target date to develop effective treatments for Alzheimer's. Some researchers say that is too long.
"We want to be bold," Dr. Jennifer Manly of Columbia University told The Associated Press. She and others believe the target date should be 2020.
It should.
When Kennedy spoke of reaching the moon, no one was certain it could be done. But it was, by a nation determined to do it.
Surely the same kind of determination can be harnessed to beat Alzheimer's disease - by 2020.

Mariano is a fantastic host, the best in Barcelona maybe. You can chill on the awesome terrace, best place in the appartment. The rooms are clean and useful. Perfect to have an unforgettable trip in Barcelona !
Mariano is a nice host. His apartment is not far from the center, just a few minutes to get to the subway station. We had a great time during our stay.
propriétaire simpathique , un bon accueil. Tout est propre et bien rangé . Je recommande fortement ce logement .
Mariano hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und war für alle Fragen und Gespräche offen !! Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, nur kurzer Weg zum Bahnhof Sants oder zur Metro, darüber in wenigen Minuten City oder Sehenswürdigkeiten erreichbar. Wer keinen deutschen Komfort erwartet (Küche, Bad) und nur zum schlafen da ist, dafür ist die Unterkunft super !
Mr Mariano is a nice guy and no doubt for that! The thing is the the room is not exactly on the photo beds not covered with white blankets, the room was totally hot during summer with only one electric fan for us four.. Weak wifi signal ...so i rate this as average
The room was perfect for our 3 day trip. The host is very friendly and the shared kitchen and bathroom were always available. The roof terrace is awesome and the location is real close to the city Centre but still less stressful. Would love to come back!
Great manager, always friendly, really relaxed and helps you when he can.
Not the most luxury appartement, but if you use it only to sleep, it's more then okay!
I had a great time here!
Air Conditioning doesn't work, no shower towels, no privacy.
Bad Conversations, too.
We were 3 girls spending a week in Barcelona and we really enjoyed staying by Ariel. Him and his son were very welcoming and helpful with us :) The room was great and we had our own bathroom, which was much appreciated as well. And the rooftop terrace was perfect for an early breakfast or for dinner ! Definitely recommend it. thank you Ariel and see you in Paris :)

RCN's History
Round-The Clock Nursery Inc. (RCN), is a Non-Profit corporation whose mission is to provide an educationally-focused, 24-hour, childcare and drop-off service that will enable parents with non-traditional work and educational schedules to pursue their career/educational goals, since existing childcare services do not meet the needs of a significant segment of New York's work force.
For example, many parents begin working before 9:00 AM and finish their workday after 5:00 PM. Some jobs require mandatory overtime and weekend work on a regular or irregular basis. Yet, most childcare services in New York City serve only parents who work between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Fridays.
Moreover, while evening, overnight or weekend care may be available in some communities, those programs do not operate continuously. Consequently, in many cases, parents are forced to forego work or educational opportunities or adjust to numerous childcare providers in their attempt to meet their employment, educational and other life goals.
What Makes Us Different:
RCN was founded to address this service delivery gap. Our nursery is a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week childcare drop-off service that caters to parents who work in the day or evening. Our drop-off component serves as both an emergency back-up when parents' regular childcare arrangements fail and as a short-term childcare service to enable parents to run errands, take care of personal crisis, or just develop their own personal interests. We also provide service for vacationing parents.

As the temperatures soar, it can be even hotter in your parked car. Take a look at these tips to help keep your car cool this summer.
- Leave blankets on the seats while the car is parked. This allows the blankets to soak up the sun and leave the seats protected from direct sunlight.
- Use a sunshade. These can be spread across the windshield of the parked car. They prevent the sun from getting inside the car and heating it up.
- Park away from direct sunlight. Finding a spot in the shade or in a garage will prevent any sun from getting inside your car.
- Leave the windows open. When parking your car on a hot day, crack open the windows to help ventilate the inside of your car.
