The programme
This MSc provides rigorous training in demography and population studies. The curriculum comprises demographic methods and theory, epidemiology, statistics and data analysis.
Many of our societies continue to face a diverse set of demographic challenges and opportunities, including rapid population ageing, extremely low as well as very high fertility, and sizable population migration. These and other demographic trends have important repercussions in all possible domains of life; from voting behavior to living arrangements, labour markets and economic growth, tax revenues and pension systems, carbon emissions, and the demand for education, health and social services. Demography, in other words, may well be the single most defining factor of the world that we live in.
The MSc Demography & Health equips students with the theories and skills to understand and quantify macro-level population dynamics and their downstream implications for health and health policies. Students are further trained in the analysis of micro-level processes that govern population change, including fertility and reproductive behaviour, the exposure to health risks, and population mobility. Analysis tools and techniques are applied to high-income settings where high-quality data are usually abundant to resource constrained settings that are covered by partial or deficient information systems.
The teaching programme gives students ample opportunity to select from a wide range of modules in statistics, epidemiology public health, and the social sciences, and thus tailor their curriculum to either focus on the technical aspects of data analytics and demographic estimation, or, take a more interdisciplinary approach to the study of population and health.
The MSc Demography & Health is recognised by the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Population Investigation Committee (PIC) and a number of scholarships from these bodies are available each year.
Duration: one year full-time; half-time or split-study over two years. Ways to study explained.

Margaret, who was the 1996 Longford Association in Dublin Person of the Year, explained, "All the funds raised go towards the elderly homeless in London, that are living out their lives in poverty, isolation and loneliness."
The 28th annual Dun Laoghaire Christmas Day Lunch for people living alone, an event that was founded by Margaret in the 1980s, takes place from 10am to 2.30pm at Blackrock Rugby Club.
Margaret says she is looking forward to the lunch and remarked, "Despite all the festivities going on around them, Christmas Day can be a time of isolation and sadness for many people who may be alone, unwell, bereaved or unable to afford a traditional meal."

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remained vague on her 2016 ambitions today, but said her biggest regret while leading the department was the 2012 attacks in Benghazi.
"You make these choices based on imperfect information and you make them to – as we say – the best of your ability. But that doesn't mean that there's not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns," Clinton said Monday during the National Automobile Dealers Association conference in New Orleans, according to video from CNN.
Clinton, asked if she would have any "do-overs," replied, "Oh, sure."
"My biggest, you know, regret is what happened in Benghazi. It was a terrible tragedy, losing four Americans two diplomats and now it's public, so I can say two CIA operatives," Clinton said.

5 Decks to Inspire Your Outdoor Oasis
Nothing says summer living like a beautiful deck. Decks are what lazy weekend BBQs are made of (or, more accurately, made on). No matter the size or design, a deck can create an enjoyable outdoor living space with only a few key pieces - comfortable furniture, soft lighting, and potted plants.
Although summer doesn't officially arrive for another two months, there's no time like the present to get inspired by some beautiful outdoor decks.
Image: Bender Arguitetura
This deck and its furniture are straightforward, but the space is made breathtaking by the lush plant life enveloping it. The architecture of the beamed "ceiling" is stunning, giving the illusion of a greenhouse.
Image: Kim Bartley Design
This deck features a cool, wood tone on the flooring, wall planks, and wicker seating. Using neutrals on the cushions makes the vibrant colors of the throw pillows and lush greenery pop.
Image: Decks by Kiefer
The beautiful craftsmanship of this deck is a show stopper. The gorgeous wood, built-in bench and planters, and curved lines of this tiered deck create the perfect stage for simple lounge seating and potted plants.
Image: Trex
A rooftop deck is a match made in heaven, especially when your backdrop is a stunning cityscape. A simple dining set works perfectly in this small, open space.
Image: Tim Clarke Design
A neutral color palette and a spacious layout make this seaside deck the perfect place to relax under the shade of the vaulted ceiling. The combination of lounge-style seating and a comfortable sofa create a shared space for relaxing and gathering with friends.
Are your deck dreams in full swing yet? Which styles do you like best?

In the classic sitcom "Green Acres," Lisa Douglas has problems with her kitchen appliances. Rather than getting electrical repairs, her husband created a clever numbering system for how much energy each gadget uses. Everything's fine until she hits her usage limit, which inevitably happens before the end of the episode. If you've ever lived in an older house in Champaign, IL that had an overloaded electrical system, you've experienced what happens when you don't have dedicated circuits.
What are Dedicated Circuits?
Nearly every major appliance that plugs into an outlet or is hard-wired to your home's electrical system has its own circuit. This design prevents over-wattage conditions that lead to tripped breakers, flickering lights, overheating, and safety issues. It also ensures that motorized appliances receive enough power to perform efficiently, especially at startup.
Regular 120-volt outlets sometimes have their own circuit, and larger 240-volt outlets for electric dryers and ranges always do. With a dedicated circuit, the outlet is connected to its own 20-, 30- or 50-amp breaker inside your electrical panel. The circuit isn't shared with any other outlets, lights, or appliances.
Which Major Appliances Need a Dedicated Circuit?
The National Electrical Code requires dedicated circuits for most major appliances. Here are a few items that should have their own circuit.
- Electric water heaters
- HVAC equipment
- Clothes dryers
- Electric ranges
- Microwave ovens
- Garbage disposals
- Refrigerators
- Dishwashers
- Jacuzzi tubs
- Sump pumps
- Central vacuums
- Garage door openers
Additionally, you may find designated circuits in your garage, laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen to support high-draw appliances that are used in these areas. This list of items includes power tools, washing machines, hair dryers, and stand mixers.
If you're having trouble with your outlets, call 217-355-9700 to schedule electrical repairs with Mattex Heating Cooling Plumbing and Electrical in Champaign, IL or visit our website to find the office nearest you.

Needed three towels to wipe down my living room after the vice presidential wrestling match, er, debate the other day. The sweat flung off both the bottom names of the campaign bumper stickers was so thick on the Centre College stage, it shot right through television screens onto viewers at home.
In this highly anticipated undercard bout, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan took off the gloves, put on their red, white and blue Lucha Libre masks and went at each other hammer and tongs for 90 minutes with straight policy jabs and sweeping rhetorical hooks. Most of which whiffed, but it's the thought that counts.
No knockdowns were recorded in this no-holds-barred event, but the majority of ringside judges gave the decision to Biden on points, mainly for stopping his base's bleeding and blocking his opponent's momentum. And doing it all without suffering a stroke on national TV. Although, it was close.
Kudos were also tossed Martha Raddatz's way, who refereed the event with a command and aplomb that had veteran observers refer to her as the anti-Jim Lehrer. She actually seemed to listen to the responses at this debate and called candidates out when they tried to weasel away. A recurring theme.
Paul Ryan's intensive training regimen paid off, and he punched and counter punched all evening while smiling so hard you could almost hear the enamel cracking inside his mouth. The duplicitous platform he was forced to defend seemed to suck all the moisture out of his body as he kept downing glass after glass of water, which fortunately was replenished regularly, or the GOP budget guru might have spontaneously combusted. And who wants to die in Kentucky?
Meanwhile Joe Biden showed great restraint in checking his normal penchant for dismantling the shared debate desk and chewing it into pieces. Like an aging Chihuahua let outside after a long weekend locked in the basement, he yapped and barked and laughed maniacally, frequently exposing expensive dental work to all and frightening many children in the audience.
Seemed like the former senator from Delaware had downed a couple quart containers of caffeinated Ensure. Then again after viewing the results, the White House might want to insure a case of Ensure is ready for President Obama next Tuesday at the debate at Hofstra University in New York.
Both Catholic combatants, the 69-year-old vice president and the 42 year old Wisconsin Congressman, waltzed delicately around the ring of malarkey when the question of abortion was raised, and a no-smirking zone was briefly established on both sides.
And finally, not a single word about Big Bird. Obviously these two pugilists don't have their finger on the pulse of the American people.
On the style-versus-substance front, the GOP accused the vice president of being loud, overbearing and rude. The very same qualities they called bold and commanding when Romney wore them at last week's debate. Hey, you guys: make up your mind. Pot-kettle-black much?
The Democratic ticket needs a visa to get out of Goldilocks Land: one half too cold — the other, too hot. But this reeking heap of steaming veep meet between pseudo-friends was entertaining, if not informative, and we could easily sell a rematch on pay-per-view, but only if the two fighters promise not to wear spandex. Maybe in 2016?
Five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst has just released a new e-book on the 2012 campaign: "Elect to Laugh!" published by Hyperink. Available at Redroom.com or Amazon. Also, his hit one-man show, "Elect to Laugh!" is every Tuesday at the Marsh. San Francisco. 8pm. Only 4, Four, 4 shows left. Themarsh.org.

Short stay in Slovakia
A few centimeters after passing the slovakian border, we're basically standing in the center of Bratislava. And what can you say – after the lasting impression of Vienna, Bratislava just isn't as …impressive.
The (pretty small) old town is nice, but you could find it like that in almost any european city; the rest of it is neither especially beautiful nor especially ugly, and just not that special at all. The only thing that sticks out to us is a bridge with a modern design that offers really nice resting spaces directly above the Danube next to wide bike and walking lanes.
Now, we have to admit that we don't stay in Bratislava for long, but when we talk to a local at firstcafe80s, she doesn't seem too convinced by her own city either. Apparently, even the locals deem their city uninteresting. In the evening we visit the local bike kitchen (a meeting point for bike enthusiasts, often combined with a DYI-workshop) in search of a place for the night, but during a wonderful sunset we decide against bothering a host and for camping in the city park.
Bikers everywhere!
After a WiFi-related coffee break, we get out of Bratislava at 4 PM the next day. We don't expect to bike another 70 kilometers that day, but tailwind makes it possible. The (partly, but more on that later) great Danube Bike Road is a further boost, and even though we take it easy and inspect interesting stuff on our way every once in a while (for example bugs, dolphins (disputed) and a huge sluice), we go to bed (tent) satisfied with our progress.
The next morning we are just about to prepare our delicious porridge breakfast when another bike traveler joins and tells us about his own crazy travel plans. His name's Jack, he's from London and on his way to Hong Kong. We decide to bike together for now; our ways will part at the Hungarian border, but it's likely we'll meet Jack again since our routes match up for a good part.
Even though we have less tailwind and the smooth asphalt of the Danube bike road turns to gravel, we make good progress again that day. We meet other bikers as well, a french couple and two french women, both doing round trips through Europe, and then cross the Danube into Hungary.

Patrick Ribera-McKay from Lezyne shows us the new digital pumps with a digital custom gauge and new riding lights that include the Deca Drive, improved Mega Drive and the Zecto Drive Pro.
The new digital pumps have been introduced across Lezyne's pump line and feature the digital custom gauge, a 1.5 inch screen, and 2 button operation. The digital pumps are retrofittable to existing Lezyne pumps and are weatherproof, accurate and will be available early October. The main reason of development was for the Shock Digital Drive which is Lezyne's dedicated floor pump and shock pump with a max psi of 300 for Enduro, DH, and Cross Country bikes.
For this year, Lezyne has refined their lights internally, upped the Lumens, and added better recharging, better power output, and better batteries.
New this year is the high powered Deca Drive, 800 Lumen light. It runs on 3 LEDs and has Lezyne's Infinite Light design that allows the user to have on-demand battery replacement. The Deca Drive will retail for $160 and will be available in October.
The updated, top level Mega Drive now features 1200 Lumens (up from 1000 Lumens), an increased constant Lumen run time of 1.5 hours, the new Infinite Light design and an improved mount for more durability and stability.

Colonial Theatre
95 Main Street,
3 people favorited this theater
The Colonial Theatre is the last of the area's historic theaters. Opened in 1924, the Colonial was a stop on the vaudeville circuit for over twenty years. In 1945, the theater switched to a film-only schedule and continued showing films for the next forty years under the control of the Latchis Theatres chain.
In 1984, the building was purchased for $100,000 from the Latchis family. The new owners intended to just show films, but later decided to include concerts and stage shows. They installed a new orchestra section, which reduced seating capacity to 886 seats. In 1994, long-needed renovation efforts were begun.
Today, the Colonial is still open and raising money to continue these renovations, and the future looks bright.

There is a Scenic Theatre, 106 Main Street, Keene, NH listed in Film Daily Yearbooks 1941 and 1943 (800 seats) and in the 1950 edition seating is given as 657.
From the Historical Society of Cheshire Contry website:
"Charles C. Baldwin opened his Colonial Theatre on January 29, 1924, and celebrated the event by entertaining 6,000 people free in the new facility. The new theater caught on as a popular meeting place, as the Woman's Club held their Washington's Birthday celebration there in February."
The Colonial Theatre is not Art Deco, it's colonial revival.
The Colonial will be screening a 35mm print of THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES on October 30, 2008 as "The Colonial Theatre Spooktacular":
Here are links to several new photos of the Colonial taken on October 13, 2008 on a recent trip to Keene. Here's the front Marquee View link Here's the nameplate at the top of the building View link Here's a pic of a truck loading/unloading stuff at the backstage loading dock View link And here's a pic of the back showing the upgraded heating/AC system View link
Nice photos of the Colonial.
Thanks Chuck,more great pictures.
The Colonial will once again be presenting a Spooktacular on Sunday, October 30th at 3pm, with a 35mm screening of FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN.
I went to this theater around fall 1980 with my girlfriend Margaret while visiting the college in Keene.
I seem to remember the seats were wooden – no padding. And it was chilly. Glad to see it is still open and apparently thriving.
The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Colonial, it's Card # 490. Address is Main St. There is an exterior photo taken Feb. 1941. Condition is Good. The report says it opened about 1925, and is showing MGM films. There were 750 orchestra seats and 250 balcony seats.

The problem that I have is I am located in central Virginia and the closest MF rep is 8 - 10 hours away.
Has CMOS sensors reached image the quality of the CCD sensor?
Does 50mp cropped vs 60mp full frame make that much difference in image quality?
For environmental photography with ambient light mixed possible with CCD without resorting to long exposures?
Is the newer bodies that much better for focusing and recomposing?
I know that CCD uses a lot of power, had they improved the power consumption over the years?
Is the waist finder that much better on one system?
Is the view finder better on one system?
Thank you Doug!! Thank you for taking the time to answer. Let me digest the answers. Through your answers it has given me more to consider. As you suggested could you provide link to page to the sample images? Also at one time there was a link to the different sensor sizes which I cannot find. Thank you for letting me know about cost of rental applied to purchase.Thank you for your help
Hey Tazdog,So you're asking what may seem to be a very simple question, but it's extremely complex, and there are a lot of nuances. The difference isn't CCD v CMOS - there's whole system decisions around it since you can do both Hass & Phase with either type of sensor. Which one is for you depends on what you see & how you edit. RAW files can be had for both, and there are lots of other pros who can chime in based on their experiences. Everything from focal length to editing software plays into this discussion.But there is nothing that beats having the camera in hand, shooting what you normally shoot and seeing the results for yourself. There are a few ways to do this, and while you may not live near a dealer, there are experiences that you should consider. Consider taking the POCP class - it's worth it even if only for the CaptureOne License it comes with - https://www.phaseone.com/en/Events?l=pocp&r=showallMy own bias is I love shooting both, but the current advantages to CMOS are hard to ignore.:TrueFocus is slick, but has limitations depending on which H series camera you're looking at (H6 is better than H5 which is better than H4). The XF body is so advanced that the Focus & Recompose was actually added after the fact. Huge advantage is live view at 100% with the CMOS backs, so you can dial in focus.Short answer - NopeYes, the XF light meter is in the Honeycomb module that does AF as well. The Hasselblad H series has the light meter in the viewfinder prism, which you remove to use the waist level finder.This is key reason you need to use both/any system you are considering. Without experiencing the larger viewfinders you can't comprehend the differences and nuances, and coming from FF land, you're about to look at your Canon viewfinder VERY differently.
I apologize if this has been posted before. I am a environmental portraits and portraits photographer. I currently use Canon 5dsr as my main camera. I photography clients in my studio or their environments and outdoors. I use natural light and also strobes. I want to move to MF for image quality.
The CMOS chip does hold up better at high ISO, but... I do have to say that I really liked the look of the H5-40 at 1600 ISO (max ISO for that camera). It had the grainy, atmospheric look of the old Agfachrome 1000. Really a unique look. The X1D at that ISO shows some grain though more like what you'd see in a current DSLR.

United's U23s Premier League Cup campaign began with a disappointing defeat at Bramall Lane on Friday afternoon.
Ben Folami scored the only goal of the game in the second-half after Jordan Hallam had seen a first-half penalty saved, as Ipswich won the opening Group E encounter.
The first chance of the game went the Blades way in the ninth minute as Parkhouse picked up a loose ball on the edge of the area but his shot flew over.
Less than 60 seconds later, United missed a golden opportunity to go in front. Crowe was adjudged to have fouled Hallam when through on goal, but the goalkeeper saved with his legs at full-stretch from the resulting spot-kick to redeem himself.
The game's decisive goal came just two minutes after the restart, FOLAMI got the better of Graham from Rowe's pass and slotted home to give the visitors the lead. In response, Hallam dragged an effort wide following good work by Smith.
United had the ball in the net on just the hour, but Smith's follow up from Parkhouse's initial effort was ruled offside.
Town almost doubled their advantage as McKendry sent in Folami but Eastwood made a good save with his feet and that was the last action of note as the visitors saw the game out without any further alarms.
Blades: Eastwood, Bennett, Norrington-Davies, Graham (Cantrill 87), Heneghan, Ferguson, Gilmour, Doherty (Graeves 73), Parkhouse, Smith, Hallam (Lawrence 84).
Unused: Hawkes, Warhurst.

The occurrence of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) doubles a person's risk for a subsequent myocardial infarction, a population-based study found.
The relative risk for myocardial infarction (MI) among a cohort of patients who had experienced a prior TIA was 2.09 (95% CI 1.52 to 2.81), according to Robert D. Brown Jr., MD, and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The risk was highest for patients whose TIA occurred before age 60 (RR 15.1, 95% CI 4.11 to 38.6), the researchers reported online in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death in patients who have had a TIA, even more than stroke, but few studies have examined or quantified the precise risks involved with these two "epidemiologically and pathophysiologically closely related diseases," Brown and colleagues observed.
Action Points
- Explain that the occurrence of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) doubles a person's risk for a subsequent myocardial infarction.
- Note that the relative risk was highest for patients whose TIA occurred before age 60.
To address this gap, they analyzed data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, cross-referencing patients who had experienced a TIA and a subsequent heart attack.
They identified 388 patients with a history of TIA and who therefore were at risk, following them for as long as 20 years (median 10.2 years).
Patients' mean age when the TIA occurred was 71 years, and almost 60% were women.
Among risk factors in this group of patients were hypertension in 62%, diabetes in 11%, and current or former smoking in 55%.
A total of 44 patients subsequently had an MI, for an average annual incidence of 0.95%, with a median time from TIA to MI of 4.6 years.
This annual incidence is lower than in some previous studies, which may be explained, at least in part, by improvements in MI prevention in recent years, the researchers noted.
Univariate analysis found that an increased risk of MI was associated with increasing age and hypertension, and also identified a trend for an association with the use of lipid-lowering drugs at the time of TIA.
On multivariable analysis, these associations were found for MI after TIA:
- Increasing age, HR 1.51 per 10 years (95% CI 1.14 to 2.01, P=0.004)
- Male sex, HR 2.19 (95% CI 1.18 to 4.06, P=0.01)
- Use of lipid-lowering drugs, HR 3.10 (95% CI 1.20 to 8, P=0.02)
The association of cholesterol-lowering medications at the time of TIA with subsequent MI suggested that these patients had more advanced atherosclerosis, according to the researchers.
The association with hypertension was no longer significant in the multivariable analysis (HR 1.76, 95% CI 0.90 to 3.45, P=0.10).
This lack of association, despite the link between hypertension and coronary artery disease, may have reflected the use of efficacious antihypertensive therapy in the cohort.
The researchers also estimated the effects of MI on mortality during the follow-up period in patients with a previous TIA, and found on univariate analysis that those who had MI were at three times the risk of death (HR 3.19, 95% CI 2.19 to 4.66).
The association remained "a significant and substantial independent predictor of death" after adjustment for variables such as age, sex, and diabetes, with a hazard ratio of 3.11 (95% CI 2.11 to 4.57, P<0.001), Brown and colleagues reported.
They concluded that even in patients not known to have CAD, the risk of MI after TIA is doubled compared with the general population.
"Given that CAD plays an important role in the mortality of patient after TIA, these data support the existing concept that careful attention to the primary prevention of CAD is warranted in all patients who have had TIA and that screening for asymptomatic CAD may be useful in select TIA patients," they advised.
Limitations of the study included the relative homogeneity of the population in Rochester, which may limit generalizability, and the possibility that other unmeasured factors may have contributed to MI risk.
The study was supported by the Mayo Clinic.
Two of the co-investigators have received research funds from CardioNet for investigator-initiated projects.

The cotton bobbin: symbolic of a lost heritage?
The cotton bobbin is symbolic in Britain's Industrial Revolution; from the early factories of Richard Arkwright in the late 1700s, to the 'dark satanic mills' described vividly by Friedrich Engels. It also symbolises something more local, representing the Leicester labour market, which has been synonymous with three manufacturing groups; engineering, textiles and footwear. At their peak in the 1960s, these groups employed over 140'000 people.
The concept of a 'golden age' is used as a shorthand term to describe the post-war period (between the 1950s and the late 1960s) which has been characterised by many authors as a time of mass employment and straightforward school to work transitions. Certainly in Leicester, the 1960s was a period of excellent employment prospects for young unqualified workers with a wealth of low-skilled jobs available and a low rate of unemployment.
Companies such as Corah, one of the largest factories in Leicester in its day, employed thousands of people and supplied a large proportion, if not all, of the textiles and hosiery for retailers such as Marks and Spencer. However, in a drive to obtain cheaper goods, retailers shipped their production and purchasing overseas from the late 1970s onwards. The impact of such globalisation meant a total collapse of the local labour market and the three main industries. Manufacturing, especially hosiery and boot and shoe manufacture, have been simply (and almost totally) eradicated from the British economy in a similar way to coal and steel. The building which housed the Corah factory still exists and parts of the building are now being used by small companies who rent work units in the space.
The Corah plant, like the vast majority of Leicester's traditional factories, closed down fully in the 1990s. Now, boxes of cotton bobbins lie in derelict factories, forgotten and unwanted; reflective of the loss of a significant manufacturing industry in the region and the UK, the loss of skilled workers and the waste of skills, and the total collapse of a once prosperous labour market.
What often gets missed in discussions such as these is the impact that such a decline has in the lived realities of those who once worked for these companies. They entered a labour market fresh from school with expectations of a job for life and would never have predicted that some forty-five years later very little of these industries would remain. Their now chequered job histories are a direct impact of the end of the manufacturing industry. Some of these workers still cling to their identities as highly skilled workers, although they have been in other jobs for years, by keeping hold of the machinery that once lay in the factories in which they worked.
Thus, the cotton bobbin has now come to represent the radically changed lives of those who once worked in these huge companies and who have found it difficult to find secure work since, and the denial of meaningful and productive labour/employment for future generations of Leicester citizens. Ultimately, the cotton bobbin is now a symbol of deindustrialisation and globalisation.

text: While others may disagree, we believe that the two greatest times of the year to ride a bicycle is after summer's oppressive heat has dissipated into a colorful backdrop of orange and red leaves, and when the frost of winter begins to melt away, and budding flowers peek up through the ground. The only trouble with these times of the year is the somewhat unpredictable temperature range, and frosty chill that still casts its self in the shadows. This is why the Pearl Izumi Elite Pursuit Thermal Graphic Jersey is one of our favorite shoulder-season pieces, with its soft fleece lining that traps heat within, and no compromise made on the cut, with a sleek, aerodynamic fit that cuts through the wind and reduces drag. Pearl Izumi's Elite Thermal Fleece Fabric has a knack for trapping heat in its fuzzy matrix of fibers, so your body heat circulates back to you to keep you warm, while moving moisture outward to keep you dry when you spin along. The full-length front zipper also allows vetting when you're working your way up a steep climb, if the breathable fleece isn't allowing for enough cooling on its own. Cut to maintain aerodynamics, the Elite Pursuit Thermal Graphic Jersey utilizes Pearl Izumi's Speed Sleeve construction that contours to your arms and shoulders for minimal drag and bulk that begs to be held in a cycling position. The hem and cuffs are elasticized to hold snug against your waist and gloves, and the hem is cut long in the back, to add coverage when you're in the saddle. Three back pockets have bonded construction to reduce bulk, while still offering the room you need to stash your spare tubes, emergency rain shell, and nutrition for the ride.

There's a running joke at Cambridge, MA-based Eleven Biotherapeutics. It shouldn't be a surprise, since the company draws inspiration for its name from the 1984 rock mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap" in which one of the dim-witted members of the band cranks up the amplifier to 11, because that's louder than 10.
At Eleven Biotherapeutics they aren't trying to be dumb like the actors in the movie, but in true life-imitates-art fashion, they half started cracking wise about how every hire needs to be an "11" and every new drug candidate needs to be an "11." So now that Eleven has hired a new CEO and started talking publicly for the first time about its lead drug candidate, you can guess how they are rated internally.
I had one burning question for Eleven's new CEO, Abbie Celniker, as she was getting started. Was she a fan of "This is Spinal Tap" before she interviewed for the job?
"I definitely was, it's one of the criteria for getting hired," she joked. "If you haven't seen all of the Christopher Guest movies, I'm not sure you can get into this company."
Kidding aside, a lot has happened at Eleven since I wrote about its big $35 million Series A financing in February 2010. The company, founded by Third Rock Ventures and Flagship Ventures, was led in its early days by Third Rock's Mark Levin as CEO and fellow partner Cary Pfeffer, as chief business officer. Now that some of the early work is done, Levin and Pfeffer are handing over day-to-day leadership to Celniker and Chen Schor, a former vice president of business development at Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical, who will be Eleven's new chief business officer. Levin and Pfeffer will stay on the board.
Celniker is a well-known biotech veteran, with a track record in various leadership roles in R&D and business operations at Novartis, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Wyeth, and Genentech. Most recently, she was the CEO of Cambridge, MA-based Taligen Therapeutics, which was acquired in January for $111 million by Cheshire, CT-based Alexion Pharmaceuticals.
The new challenge at Eleven will be to incorporate a number of technologies for designing various types of protein drugs that can have the precisely intended effect on a given biological target, Celniker says. There's no single technology platform, but rather a variety of tools that Eleven uses to modify proteins to make them more soluble in the bloodstream, last longer, or get absorbed in an ideal way, Celniker says. The technology should make it possible to swap out certain regions of a protein drug's structure that might be a liability. And by gathering more information about the biological target and how a given protein drug interacts with it, Eleven is hoping to boost its odds of success in clinical trials.
"We look at the entire molecule, understand what's responsible for its function, and optimize it," Celniker says. "Getting the structure/target relationship right, seeing how the molecule interacts with the target is important. That's the key to knowing which part of the toolkit to use."
Eleven has apparently been moving fast in the early going, because Celniker says she expects the company to enter its first clinical trial by the second half of 2012. The protein drug candidate is being developed as a treatment for dry eye and other topical inflammatory conditions like allergies or pink eye (conjunctivitis.) Celniker isn't saying what target Eleven is aiming this drug at, but another compound has proven it's a valid target, which mitigates the risk to Eleven, she says. The protein can be easily formulated into an eye drop; going after eye conditions means Eleven can follow a reasonably fast clinical development plan; and it's an area of expertise of one of the scientific founders, Reza Dana of the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary. Since another compound has already been in the clinic, Eleven has a good idea of the dosing and dosing schedule that its drug will need to succeed, Celniker says.
"We don't have to do so much trial and error," she says. "We think we can rapidly move into pivotal trials."
Eleven will consider signing up a partner to help with its lead drug, and it is working to build up a pipeline of other drug candidates, Celniker says. So the goal here is to not be a one-hit wonder, and to have some staying power in the pharma business.
"We know how important proteins are to the portfolios of Big Pharma and Big Biotech," Celniker says. "People put a stake in the ground to increase their portfolios in biologics several years ago. Eleven is really a company that is bringing an innovative approach."
