How cool is this. Is that a handpainted design on the skirt? And I love the fit of the jacket. This look is comfortable, and classic. I love dressing this way because you can take your best oldish pieces like a scarf or a jacket and pair them with something new. Hoisery and shoes are on point!
stunning mixture of patterns
This woman is just beautiful. I'm a fan of her outfit and the way she is wearing things together that shouldn't really work, but on her they do! That Persian carpet looking scarf is amazing. Yet, I've already seen in this blog a skirt like the one she is wearing. The sartorialist's top 100 design influences, really shows; I feel I must congratulate you for that.
Besides from the woman, the picture is amazing. I love that sensation of freshness in the morning light and the perspective of the road lined by all those winter trees.
love it!!
Oh my gosh. I love her brocade skirt.
I love that she can make such an out of control mixture of textures and prints looks really elegant, classic almost.
Ahhh…..Balenciaga….i´m in love with those tiny jackets with the printed scarfs .
This lady looks beautiful in her own mix , I almost don't miss the balenciaga pants (my favourite item from that collection).
The shoes are to die for! Anyone know something about them ?
Hm, that skirt kind of reminds me of all those structured floral prints of Balenciaga spring '08. In which case the mix is in the seasons. No high-low here.
The Jacket is actually J. Crew
That's not Balenciaga, I do believe that's the J Crew Lexington jacket that I recently got on sale for $70! But it's a good knock off no? Love how she's styled it with the scarf and brocade skirt.
LOVE THE SHOES! i would not ordinarily think to put all of this together but it really looks great here.
eclectic & fun.
those shoes…. and that wonderful blazer.
oooooh she's smirking cause she knows she's fresh.
what a pleasurable photo, mr. sartorialist. always giving me something to look forward to in my day.
Love the texture on the skirt; brings a nice touch to an otherwise "blending in" ensemble.
lovely mixes!
jacket looks stunningly similar to a j.crew jacket I purchased last fall! love her, she looks great!
Hmm… I wonder. Do you know why all these (ok, not all but the majority) fashionable women and girls are holding their (hand)bags dangling from the elbows' bends? It's so damn uncomfortable an unhealthy. Blood stops to circulate in your arm, etc :). I tried to carry my bags like this. No way. I can carry them only in hand or on my shoulder. The only exceptions are small, evening bags.
I like the lady. I love this gathered-up-full-of-volume silhouette, which lets us, women, have pretty much longer and slimmer legs than in fact they are :). And it gives sort of girlish look.
Wonderful skirt.
Wonderful jacket.
Wonderful scarf.
And this astonishing mix of patterns… Yes. Oh yes, let's mix!
absolutely lovely :) i love the texture and colour of the skirt… i believe it's what makes the whole entire look so interesting and pleasant… magnifique!
What a great mix of pattern broken up with the black jacket, tights and shoes!
I'm not sure why I'm more inclined to compliment her on her hair than on her clothing choices. It is really quite beautiful!
the shoes are chanel…
the jacket looks j crew
the 'lady' is a market editor for teen vogue…
Wow, she's very beautiful and looks confident and comfortable in her own skin.
Not only doe she have on THE jacket but her shoes are to die for!
Now that's more like it.
This looks a bit like the lovely skirt that you showed on a woman a while back- it inspired a piece you made for your daughter, no?
Actually, the blazer is J.crew. I own it.
The shoes are Chanel. I was about to buy them but chose a pair of Louboutins over them because, at the time, Neiman Marcus didn't have the grey patent pair that I wanted.
So weird. But this is such an interesting pairing, the jacket with the skirt. I feel inspired to try something like this, perhaps tomorrow.
I f that jacket isn't from J.Crew, then their Lexington model knockoff is tremendous.
probably the outfit/overall look I love the most for a long time – there's something so uplifting about it – the sunshine probably helps. I totally agree with anon at 6.41 – to mix it up that much and look fresh and classic is genius. and the voluminous skirt with the slightly boxy jacket – somehow doesn't make her look chunky. also the length of the skirt is spot on, and the bare- as in very little make up – face adds freshness and delicacy to the whole 'thing'. In fact, I think any obvious make up would have made the whole look to baroque and ruined it. To use the controversial word du jour, for me this whole thing goes 'pop'!
The Balenciaga jacket is, for lack of a better word, utterly and completely beautiful. Chic and very classic at the same time, the brocade beneath it and the patterned scarf above it finish a look that is so timelessly elegant. I perhaps would have worn a different colored bag and another pair of shoes, but her bright smile seems to bring this full-circle even with its small faults.
To the first commenter:
It's a Miu Miu skirt from last year or the year before, if I'm not mistaken.
I like her jacket and her scarf. She carries a busy outfit like that well.
hey ive got the lexington jacket too. interesting how we wear it in 2 completely different ways
Gorgeous ! I love the mix and her smile
her shoes are chanel…i love the mui mui skirt with the balenciaga scarf..its hard to pair to bold prints together but she did a really good job!
the shoes are CHANEL
She's lovely. The jacket is fabulous.
Her smile is beautiful too!
I love her jacket!
Isn't her skirt like the one your daughter was wearing in a picture with the denim jacket and the pink scarf? This is just an adult version of that.
It seems that you have a trend setter in the making at home!
I wonder what brand the skirt actually is. For it's a great piece. I love the way she has put this look together. And it doesn't look "put together". So remarkably effortless. I am a sucker for good brocade. Is she really with teen Vogue? She is lovely!
This is wonderfully pulled together, and that skirt is so cool. I like it because it's not like she so carefully planned this that it screams matchy matchy. Her confidence is the thing that pulls the look together.
They had this same Balenciaga/J.Crew debate a while back on parkavenuepeerage over Nina Garcia, who also looked fabulous.
Definitely the JCrew Lexington from last fall (mine is draped over my desk chair even as we speak).
Love that skirt!
this makes me so nostalgic for the fw06-07 Miu Miu show! bravo to this woman for rocking this skirt seasons later
that skirt is KILLER.
I just love this from neck down, but I'm not going to lie the sunglasses ruin it for me- they remind me of my suburbian cousins…
but the scarf is so fresh, and amazing, amazing shoes
this outfit truly inspires me. she looks amazing. i don't have ANY of these exact pieces but i think i could create a similar look – between my closet and my roommate's.
love the mix of styles and patterns.
the shoes rock!
Impressive. Questa signorina sa come vestire. Complimenti.
Classy…I love everything about this ensemble, especially her skirt + scarf! The patterns work very well together. Also, that's a really great jacket, it brings the whole outfit together. It looks like she just popped out of a runway show or magazine and onto the streets.
She looks great. Happy, chic, but — in the hair, face, and glasses — familiar and relate-able. I think one important thing that defines good style is the impression that we all could, and might, look that good if we wanted to. She nails this.
One thing to consider, Sarty, in that spirit. I know that it's been said at this point over and over, but how about featuring some slightly rounder women in your images once and a while. There are women out there who are size 4-12 (stiller smaller than average in America) who would like to be encouraged and inspired by the women you photograph. I'm a size 10 — not outside of the realm of fashion, size-wise — and I would love to see a few photos that look more like me. How can I wear some of these kinds of fantastic looks?
How about finding a little fashion inspiration for those of us who love great design but might need a little more encouragement? Some real-size mentors! I have always appreciated your age-inclusiveness. Mature women are incredibly stylish — now think about how the supple forms and rosy cheeks of a bigger woman could really enhance a great look! Nobody dresses like an Icelandic girl, for example, and they're never petite
You could be part of a major paradigm shift in the world's ideas of style.
sorry kinda reminds me of lohan
On a whole, the look is a little contrived. I'd like to see better hair, pulled back, maybe? Just not so "done." Those sunglasses are so over. And I am so over that Prada/ Miu Miu brocade look. This girl is too young for that skirt. I would have liked to see her in something softer. The blouse looks kind of interesting.
I love everything about this look. She looks so good!
Black tights are supposedly on their way out but they really do give legs a a strong silhouette that is very flattering.
mix of prints seamlessly comes together, love this one!
very fashionable, yes, but don't girls know how to walk with their legs closer together any more?
I love this. The scarf is beautiful.
We still can see some Balenciaga's Palestinas!
I love it all. I want it all.
it's really refreshing to me to see a woman with long, silky hair. so many girls are too busy whacking it off to notice how beautiful it already is! brava to you and your beautiful tapestry skirt!
Her sunglasses are some Tom Ford one, aren't they ? They re great !
I think that if this gorgeous woman was in L.A or something, she would probably be mistaken for a star! :)
Is it Teen Vogue or is it Sylvia Soto-Ward (that is her name, right?) I have seen her photographed in that jacket a lot, and it kind of looks like her.
Pata – they are Chanel
Absolutely love the scarf! Boho chic!!!
good idea, however, it just does not work on her.
The myriad of patterns work unexpectedly well. I likie.

Red Auerbach, Communications Guru
If you're a basketball fan or live in the Boston area, you know that Red Auerbach died a few days ago. Among other achievements, Auerbach coached the Celtics to eight consecutive N.B.A. championships. There's a bronze statue of him sitting on a bench in Boston's Faneuil Hall marketplace—balding, stocky, holding his famous "victory cigar"—an ordinary-looking guy, but a basketball genius.
Part of that genius was an extraordinary ability to communicate with his players. How? Yes, he had a loud voice, he was passionate, he knew a lot about basketball. But the key to his effectiveness as a communicator was his ability to listen.
In a 2004 USA Today interview (quoted in the New York Times obituary for Auerbach), Bill Russell said, "Red had the greatest of ears. After he talked to a player four times, he knew how to communicate with him."
In other words, communication has as much to do with listening as talking.
Auerbach himself once said, "It's not what you say; it's what they hear," putting his finger on what I think is the essential truth about communication. It only works when you understand the person you're talking with and shape your words and manner to how he hears—that is, to how he thinks; what he cares about; what he needs. And the only way to understand those things is to listen and observe.
You can't communicate well if all you do is talk.Posted by Don Cohen at 10:30 AM | Permalink | TrackBacks (0)

Webcast: Competing on Analytics
The AMA is hosting a complimentary webcast on Tuesday, October 31, 2006:
Competing On Analytics: Move Faster, Accomplish More, and Avoid Mistakes by Learning From The Best
Like never before, marketers today are being held accountable for their impact on the corporate bottom line. Quantifiable results matter more than ever as marketing initiatives are conceived, executed, and eventually evaluated.
Professor Tom Davenport, Babson College (that would be me!)
Anna Carbonara, Moderator, American Marketing Association
Capital One, Procter & Gamble, Amazon and other leaders pioneered this data-driven approach to marketing. If your marketing organization is like most, you've already begun a similar move towards leveraging data and analytics. Like most, you're probably also facing the same challenges faced by the early adopters - finding and retaining qualified staff, aligning with shifting business priorities, and satisfying the (seemingly) endless demand for analysis, for example.
What you will learn:
- What data-driven marketing is (and isn't)
- How marketing visionaries are using analytics for competitive advantage
- What specific tactics these early adopters believe are essential to their success (and what they'd do differently next time)
- How you can personally succeed as a marketer during these tumultuous times
Who Should Attend:
- Business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketers at all levels, up to and including CMO's and Vice Presidents of Marketing
- Information technology professionals, particularly those in fields involving collaboration with marketing colleagues
As some of you may have noticed, I've been rather busy. This webcast is a good way to catch up.
I hope to see you there. Register >>Posted by Tom Davenport at 12:14 AM | Permalink | TrackBacks (0)

One Way to Stifle Creativity
Some years back I wrote what I thought was a pretty good little article about the origin of a knowledge group at a well-known consulting company. It told the story of two young guys who thought it might be useful to collect proposals and reports from successful engagements and make them available for research and reuse. When their boss rejected the idea, they went ahead anyway, working on weekends, pulling a couple of discarded computers out of a storeroom, soliciting contributions from people they knew, informally spreading word about the resource they had created. A few months later, a consultant used some of the material they had gathered to win a big contract. Demand increased. The bootleg system was eventually legitimized and grew into a sizeable knowledge center.
The article was never published. The company executive whose approval I needed admitted that the article was accurate but said he didn't want the public to get the impression that things happen in such an informal, ad hoc way at the company. Although he didn't say so, I think he was also uncomfortable about casting disobedience in a positive light.
I think the fiction he wanted to maintain—that all decisions are carefully deliberated at the top and carried out by those below, that nothing happens by accident—is a damaging one. To the extent that leaders tend to believe it, it stops them from seeking and learning from the innovative ideas and practices that bubble up in odd corners of their organizations. To the extent that they present themselves as the sole source of company wisdom, they stifle the creativity of the people who work for them. (Why bother if leaders won't listen and then take credit for ideas that survive in spite of their opposition?)
By way of contrast, I think of a story from the early days of Hewlett-Packard. David Packard responded to an engineer who had disregarded an order to stop working on technology that turned into a successful product by calling a meeting of engineers and presenting him with a medal for "extraordinary contempt and defiance beyond the normal call of engineering duty."Posted by Don Cohen at 03:26 PM | Permalink | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

The Rising Tide of Knowledge Populism
I've recently thought about writing a book, or at least a few well placed articles, on the subject of knowledge populism, of which evidence is all around us.
Like political populism, which flourished in the US mid-west at the turn of the 20th century, the knowledge populism we see is surely a tricky subject-containing elements both malignant and glorious. It is a natural outgrowth of the world-wide democratization of knowledge and information that is roiling our world in so many ways.
In doing some reading for this subject for a dual talk Tom Davenport and I are doing later in the month, I found some books for you all worth commenting on.
The first is Infotopia, by Cass Sunstein who is a law school professor in Chicago, and is also what I'd call a "public intellectual" i.e. someone willing to talk on subjects outside the technical details of their field, someone actually worth listening to. This book is quite good – it's short, interesting, and with a real knowledge perspective. Its main theme is the need for deliberation - space and time to deliberate. Sunstein is particularly interested in how many users using the web have the potential to create valuable new knowledge.
Another interesting tome, is by Yochai Benkler, yet another law school guy (this one at Yale – what's with these guys?). This book is called The Wealth of Networks and is sub-titled How Social Production transforms markets and freedom.
I'm not at all sure about the power of his argument concerning freedom but his arguments about social production are cogent and interesting - if a bit dry and based on neo-classic economics - which is tidy but not real. The book, like Sunstein's, is well written and is also really about knowledge.
We are winning the race, fellow knowledge practitioners!
To butress this last point take a look at a World Bank report, released just a few months back called Where is the wealth of Nations? Measuring Capital for the 21st Century.
While the bank researchers still conflate knowledge with human capital, at least they now acknowledge it as a powerful source of intangible wealth.
We have come quite a ways in this regard. Take a look at any economic reckoning of wealth just a few decades ago and there was no mention of any intangibles whatsoever. Now if we can only get accountants and finance people to see the light!! They will if they have Baruch Lev as a professor but he can't teach everybody!Posted by Larry Prusak at 10:28 PM | Permalink | TrackBacks (0)

Attention Bloggers!
I haven't written a blog entry in a while, but apparently a lot of people have. I heard in a presentation today that there are (as of May 30th, 2006) 28,592,813 blogs, and 43,109 new blogs in the last 24 hours. Hmmmm. One could argue that this is too many. As I pointed out in my first entry for the Babson Knowledge blog, the key issue is the imbalance of information in the blogosphere and the amount of human attention available to attend to it. It's far easier to write a blog than to get anyone to read it. This imbalance leads me to believe that a couple of major changes need to take place in individual and organizational information environments.
One is the automated mining of textual and unstructured information. We're finally getting a handle on how to get value from structured information. But most organizations don't have a clue about how to mine blogs, emails, instant messages, presentations, and so forth. We don't have time to look at all of this stuff to see if it's interesting and relevant to us, so we will have to have systems that find the good content and serve it up or summarize it for us. It is individuals that read and take action on unstructured information, so we need to address this issue at the individual level.
Some of this mining will be automatically intuited by an intelligent system based on stuff we've looked at in the past, and perhaps on how we've rated it. But, of course, we've been hearing for a number of years that such "machine learning" will improve our lives. Thus far and for the foreseeable future, we're going to have to help our computers with some personal interventions. In particular, we're going to have to get better at specifying what information we care about.
Most of us are pretty haphazard about what information we need and want to see. We click mindlessly through the blogosphere. We read whatever free magazines publishers are willing to send us. We read whatever emails appear in our inboxes or on our Blackberry screens. One prominent GE executive admitted to me—without much sheepishness—that the only articles he reads are those that other people attach to his email messages. This is not a well-designed personal information environment!
Someday it will all be better. I'll be able to say to a computer something like the following:
- I like and want to read/hear/view content about the Boston Red Sox, analytical competition, attempts to improve the performance of knowledge work, case studies about knowledge management, process management initiatives that employ IT, Julie Bowen (a somewhat obscure but lovely actress) and so forth.
- I don't want to receive stuff about dining hall schedules at Babson College, regular meetings that I have never attended in the past, marketing messages from IT vendors, movies that are badly reviewed, hockey, Britney Spears, and so forth.
Of course, it's the "and so forth" that kills us. We know some things we definitely like and don't like, but we're always afraid that we're missing something important, and we're afraid to rule out sources and topics because there just might be something valuable there. I'm hoping that technology will help us out in this regard—noting that you haven't looked at the last 42 RSS feeds from a particular blog, so maybe you should stop pretending to be interested in it—or that you seem to be clicking on a lot of sites about real estate in Palo Alto, so should I feed you more of that? Between all of us working a little harder at figuring out what we want, and a bit of help from intelligent software, we'll eventually get to an attention-preserving environment that still keeps us well-informed.Posted by Tom Davenport at 12:21 AM | Permalink | TrackBacks (0)

Rifle acumen yields a collegiate hotshot
MARKSMANSHIP Champion rifleman's Marin County roots make him a rarity
Growing up in Kentfield, James Macmillan failed to take to any of the gentlemanly pursuits presented by his father, Hugh. Fencing, sailing, fly fishing all came and went.
What captured James Macmillan was the Lee-Enfield locked in the wine cellar.
Once he saw that World War II rifle, Macmillan wouldn't let up until he was old enough for the range. Finally, at age 12, he lifted that heavy wooden stock, bolted a round into the chamber and fired. The recoil nearly knocked him over, and by the time he got home, his shoulder was black and blue.
He had his hobby, and eight years later, Macmillan is the Collegiate Service Rifle Champion, as decreed by the National Rifle Association at a national tournament last summer. The Lee-Enfield has been exchanged for a modern AR-15, and at ranges from 200 to 600 yards, standing, sitting and prone, Macmillan is more accurate than any shooter in any college in the country.
But nobody knows this at his college, Cuesta in San Luis Obispo County, just as nobody at Redwood High School in Larkspur knew he was a sharpshooter until his picture appeared in the yearbook under the "random sports" category.
"I don't publicize it a lot," he says. "People say, 'Are you a sniper in the military?' and I say, 'No. It's just for fun.' "
For six years, Macmillan has been the only Marin County member of the California Grizzlies Junior Rifle Team, based in Sonora (Tuolumne County).
Unusual at his age
He knows of only two other people from his county who do what he does. One is in his 50s, the other in his 60s.
"I wish there were other shooters my age," says Macmillan, "but I'm the only one."
It doesn't help the sport that his rifle, the AR-15, is the type that was so deadly at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"It's more along the lines of who owns the rifle," says Macmillan, who is the same age as the Newtown, Conn., killer and has been deeply troubled by the reports. "All these shootings, the people are psychologically unstable. The people I have met target shooting are very responsible, generous individuals. It's the few who are irresponsible that always show up in the news. "
Macmillan has never hunted game or birds, or shot at anything besides a paper target, which is what he is doing on a recent morning at the Richmond Rod & Gun Club. Members are clustered together blasting clay pigeons at the skeet and trap ranges that face the bayfront.
Lone pursuit
But over at the 200-yard range, Macmillan is all alone with a box of ammunition he loads himself. He has just finished exams and needs to clear his mind. He picks up his lead-weighted AR-15, the civilian version of an M16 military rifle, and reaches into the holster on his jacket for a copper bullet.
He stands with it at his waist, eyes closed, breathing slowly. Then in a slow ritual of a movement, he lifts the rifle to his shoulder so the bottom of the stock digs into his clavicle. He presses the stock weld into his cheek and looks down the sight, taking three deep breaths to work oxygen into his eyes. Slowly, without moving any muscles except in his right index finger, he takes up the slack on the trigger. Finally, after a slow exhale and a pause, he squeezes off a round.
Two hundred yards away, a paper target takes the hit on the outer ring of the aiming area. That is not up to his expectation, which is to hit an inner ring the size of the bottom of a Coke can.
"This is the first time I've shot since August," he says, apologetically. "That's really bad shooting."
Target shooting with a high-powered rifle is not one of those hobbies with instant appeal. It is solitary, expensive and loud enough to mandate earplugs. There is no glamour. It does not take you to exotic places. The national championship is in between Cleveland and Detroit. The state championship is in Coalinga(Fresno County), deep in the San Joaquin Valley.
Tough on reputation
"That's the only thing you'd want to do there, shoot," he says. It is also not the kind of hobby where having gear in your college dorm room will bring you cachet. What it will more likely bring is a visit from campus police.
"We're in student housing," he says. "I prefer not to have a rifle."
If you are not a hunter or a survivalist, what will make you stick to high-powered target shooting is success. Twenty-twenty vision helps. So does having a dad who was in the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Volunteer Rifles in the service of Her Majesty, the Queen of England.
That is what got the Enfield to Kentfield. After introducing his son to the big rifle, with its big kick, Hugh decided to start James with something smaller, like a .22-caliber target rifle. He was small for his age, but he wasn't about to shoot small bore.
Alternative to wrestling
"He wanted to shoot high-powered rifles," says Hugh, a real estate agent with a touch of British bluster. "The moment he did that, there was no turning back."
The younger Macmillan's other high school sport was wrestling in the 145-pound class. As a junior, he dislocated his shoulder in the county championship. Still determined to shoot, he switched sides and hit 199 out of 200 from the seated position at the state meet.
Back to shooting from his good side, the following year he was on a six-man team that set a national record. Last year, the team broke its own record, and Macmillan won the Distinguished Rifleman Badge issued by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Only 2,055 people have earned this badge since the program began in 1884.
The badge is brass and as heavy as a war medal, with his name engraved on it. General Petraeus would wear it, but Macmillan wouldn't. The only ornamentation he wears is a sweatshirt with a grizzly head in the center of a target.
On this day of practice, his first round of 10 shots yields two bull's-eyes. His second round yields five. His third round yields six, all bunched together on the X at the middle. That is all the glory he needs.
"I like the progression of watching my scores go up, and watching myself get better," he says. "There is always room for improvement."

After his stellar debut with the Tennessee Titans, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has reason to believe he will keep his starting job this season.
But backup Jake Locker received a key vote of confidence from one of the team's pass catchers.
"I think Matt has a little bit of upside, but I think Jake's got heart," Titans tight end Jared Cook said, according to The Tennesseean. "Jake knows what he wants. When you know what you want, sometimes you're going to get it. So I think it's going to be a good competition."
Hasselbeck signed with the Titans in July, three months after the team selected Locker with the No. 8 overall pick in the draft. Hasselbeck started all 16 games for Tennessee last season, throwing for 3,571 yards and 18 touchdowns while leading the Titans to a 9-7 record. Locker threw for 542 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions in five games.
Cook complimented both Hasselbeck and Locker, saying either quarterback would excel as the team's starter.
"People have been asking me this whole offseason (who the starter will be)," Cook said. "I've been telling them it's going to be a good competition. Both guys are good quarterbacks."

With more than 2.6 million residents, Brooklyn is the most populous New York City borough, and famous for its music, art, culture, literature, cinema, and style. Though historically a residential borough offering blue-collar work, the past two decades have transformed Brooklyn into a thriving hub for entrepreneurs, technology startups, advertising and design agencies, inpatient care, manufacturers, and local artists.
Based on leasing data from Jones, Lang, LaSalle, in 2015, only 1.6 million square feet of office space was leased in Brooklyn and Long Island City. By 2017, that number had nearly doubled, and by 2021 there will be another 6.4 million square feet of new Brooklyn office space available.

Office Space | Brooklyn Lease Data & Trends
Since 2002, cumulative job growth in Brooklyn has outpaced Manhattan by nearly 400 percent, and with that has come an increased demand for office space. Brooklyn rents are still significantly cheaper than averages in Manhattan, and a fast-growing inventory of re-purposed buildings and new constructions can accommodate businesses of all industries and sizes.
There is nearly 30 million square feet of Brooklyn office space for rent, with another 3 million under construction or renovation. Across its major submarkets, the average direct asking rent for Brooklyn office space is $48 per square foot, compared to around $40 for an office sublease. Despite rising rates in popular submarkets, this is still well below the average NYC office space rent of $75 per square foot.
Brooklyn has a steadily growing population and features the highest density of young adults in the city, making the borough especially appealing to firms looking to hire young, talented employees. Brooklyn also offers plenty of work/life balance amenities, including a more bike-friendly and car-friendly landscape, and lower housing costs compared to Manhattan.
Among the largest recent lease signings are Brooklyn Lab Charter School's five-year, 75,228 square foot lease at 77 Sands Street, The Brooklyn Hospital Center's 70,000 square foot lease at 620 Fulton Street, and Gimlet Media's 10-year, 27,000 square foot lease at 41 Flatbush Avenue.
Popular Neighborhoods to Rent Brooklyn Office Space
Short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, DUMBO is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city for both businesses and residents. Local warehouses and factories have been converted into luxury condos, art galleries, restaurants, and spacious, well-lit offices. DUMBO is home to numerous technology startups, ad agencies, financial services firms, and creative agencies. Notable tenants include Huge, Etsy, Big Spaceship, Amplify, Red Antler — premier location for companies interested in brick & beam units — re-purposed industrial loft-style offices. Office space in DUMBO costs $66 per square foot on average to lease.
Downtown Brooklyn
Downtown Brooklyn's office landscape is driven by three main factors: The Brooklyn courts and Borough Hall, proximity to DUMBO, and numerous public transit options. Between Borough Hall Station, Jay Street Metrotech, and Atlantic Avenue – Barclays Center, commuters have more than a dozen MTA trains to choose from, as well as options on the Long Island Rail Road. There is more than 13 million square feet of office space in Downtown Brooklyn, primarily traditional office space. One of the largest ongoing projects is at 422 Fulton Street, where 620,000 square feet of Class A units are being built on top of the existing structure. Downtown Brooklyn office space costs on average $61 per square foot to lease.
The past two decades have transformed Williamsburg from a diverse neighborhood of blue-collar workers and artists to one of the most in-demand, luxury-driven markets in Brooklyn. Though primarily residential, Williamsburg is home to startups and creative agencies which prefer the loft-style brick and beam structures. Williamsburg is also a local hub for agriculture technology and biofabrication startups. There is more than a million square feet of office space for rent, with an additional 800,000 square feet space under construction or renovation. On a per square foot basis, Williamsburg is the most expensive submarket to lease Brooklyn office space. The neighborhood is easily accessible from Manhattan (the L train is set to close in 2019), Long Island City, Greenpoint, and many more of Brooklyn's most popular residential areas. Despite a high vacancy rate (nearly 60 percent), Williamsburg office space costs around $60 per square foot to lease.
Sunset Park, South Brooklyn, and Industry City
Despite its distance from Manhattan and any major transit hub, Sunset Park's waterfront views and classic industrial architecture is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing submarkets in Brooklyn. Industry City, a 35-acre space along the waterfront, has converted largely vacant factories into mixed-use work, innovation, and retail space ranging from 5,000 to 500,000 square feet with more than a dozen ISP options for high-speed internet. The average Sunset Park office space rent is among the lowest of New York City's top submarkets, and a good bet for future growth.
Bordering Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and Park Slope, three of the most popular residential neighborhoods, Gowanus has quickly transitioned from an industrial corridor. Many warehouses and former factories under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and along the Gowanus Canal are being transformed into mixed-use retail and office spaces. Gowanus has numerous private office and coworking options and is home to Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, Gimlet Media, and many other notable, fast-growing technology firms, high-end retailers, and creative agencies.
Gowanus has seen significant real estate movement in the past year, headlined by 175-225 3rd Street's recent sale to RFR Realty for a rumored price of $120 million,
Red Hook
Primarily a shipping hub, the Red Hook corporate real estate market is only beginning to match the upward trend of the neighborhood's residential market. Red Hook is ideal for businesses that need lots of space for machinery, or simply want to stretch out and take advantage of cheaper average rents. Core to the areas continued growth is a currently proposed subway extension under the East River into Lower Manhattan, and moving the Container Terminal to Sunset Park, freeing up more than 130 acres for redevelopment.
Brooklyn Navy Yard/Flushing Avenue Corridor/Vinegar Hill
The Navy Yard and Flushing Avenue corridor borders DUMBO and Williamsburg, and offers office space at lower prices. The neighborhood has a tremendous number of new construction and redevelopment projects underway. Shipbuilding and repairs stopped in the 70's and 80's, but the Navy Yard has since become a private area for manufacturing and retail, with more than 200 businesses calling the area home.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard recently received a $2.5 billion investment for the next phase of expansion. On top of the ongoing development, which include Dock 72 and Admirals Row, the new investment will add 5 million square feet of manufacturing space and boosts the long-term employment projection for the Navy Yard to 30,000 jobs.
Getting to, From, and Around Brooklyn, NY
New York City routinely ranks at the top of Walk Score's list of transit-friendly cities, and for good reason. The extensive (though frustrating) subway system, bus network, and hubs for out-of-state and suburban commuter rails allow for tens of millions of workers to navigate the city. For businesses concerned with long commute times, Downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO are the best options for local and suburban employees.
The past 15 years have brought significant improvements to the city's bicycling infrastructure. Previously, bike lanes were rare, and those that did exist were often used as double parking spots for vehicles. Today, more than half a million New Yorkers commute by bike. The city has more than 1,000 miles of routes, and the Department of Transportation plans to add 50 miles each year, 10 miles of which will be protected lanes.
In addition to the public transit infrastructure, the Citibike bike share system allows people to conveniently ride a bike without the hassle of locking (and potentially losing) their own bike. There are more than 12,000 Citibikes and 750 docking stations in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.
Brooklyn is more driver-friendly than Manhattan, but we wouldn't recommend getting into a car unless you need to. According to the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard, New York is the third most congested city in the world, with drivers spending on average 91 hours per year in traffic! Four of the 10 worst highway corridors are in NYC, including Brooklyn's Belt Parkway East, from Exit 3 to Exit 17.

ST. CHARLES – The retired former director of the Kane County Division of Transportation, Nabi Fakroddin, resigned his position on the Regional Transportation Authority board Tuesday, following concerns that he could not legally serve there and on the Illinois Human Rights Commission.
Board Chairman Chris Lauzen appointed Fakroddin, 74, of St. Charles, in April as Kane County's representative. Members of the 16-member board represent their respective regions in four-year terms.
The issue was raised by RTA Board Chairman John Gates Jr., who advised in a letter Aug. 6 to Gov. Quinn that "It is my belief that according to the law, it may not be permissible for him to continue to serve on the RTA board, and Mr. Fakroddin agreed … He will be submitting his resignation to Kane County Chairman Lauzen."
Quinn spokesman Grant Klinzman said in an email response that Gates "is mistaken on the law, and our office will follow up with him on this matter."
RTA board members are paid $25,000 a year, spokeswoman Susan Massel said. Human Rights Commissioners are paid $46,960, according to the appointments page of the State of Illinois website.
Lauzen did not return a message seeking comment.
The RTA is the financial and oversight body for the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace.
Fakroddin said he was considering an unpaid position Gates had offered him on the RTA Citizens Advisory Board, which advises the board of problems and suggestions for solutions.
Fakroddin said he started his career working for the Illinois Department of Transportation when he was 18, working there for 20 years and receiving six promotions.
After that, he worked as the director of highways for Warren County for five years, then came to Kane County as transportation director from 1984 until his retirement in 1997.
Fakroddin said he was doing private consulting until he was asked to serve on the RTA board as Kane's representative.
He said he chose to remain on the Human Rights Commission, which involves listening to cases and reviewing briefs.
"Discrimination is not just the color of skin, and religion, but also in housing, gender and sexual orientation," Fakroddin said. "They all come to us."
In his resignation letter, released by Lauzen's office, Fakroddin noted a personal connection to protecting human rights.
"While growing up in the 1950s, I have personally witnessed human and civil rights violations," Fakroddin wrote in part. "And as a commissioner for the Human Rights Commission, I have been part of the process of redressing proven civil rights violations committed against Illinois citizens."
Fakroddin said while he is in good health, he wanted to continue serving the public as long as he can.
"The Lord has been good to me," Fakroddin said.
Another RTA board member, the Rev. Tyrone Crider, left July 31 after his failure to repay a $91,000 state grant became public. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan sued Crider in 2011, records show.
In Gates' letter to Quinn, he states his concern regarding the appointment of Frank Zuccarelli to the CTA Board because Zuccarelli also is the Thornton Township supervisor, a dual role that "violates the intent of section 19 of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Act."
But Quinn spokesman Klinzman said the two situations are completely different.
"The statute prohibits anyone who is paid by a municipality, county, or state government from serving. The Illinois municipal code explicitly states that a township official does not fall under these categories," Klinzman said.
"Zuccarelli is a military veteran and represents a region that has historically been underserved by public transportation," Klinzman said in an email. "He [Zuccarelli] is filling a position that is specifically designated to represent the suburbs of Cook County, and he is a strong advocate for that region."
Fakroddin said because of the current scrutiny of Metra, everyone who serves on dual boards also is being scrutinized.
"Before, nobody paid any attention," Fakroddin said. "Now they're looking into every board member – who is working where."

I bet winning the lottery can be very stressful. I have no clue how I would be able to sleep until I claimed the ticket. I worked for the Texas Lottery for a while in college and heard some crazy stories.
Once a lady came in with the winning lottery ticket duct taped to her body in a ziplock bag. Another one of my favorite stories was on Monday with people arrived to the lotto office for work, there were a couple of guys in the parking lot with chairs and a cooler drinking beer. They had been there all night just waiting to turn in their ticket.
I have seen televisions shows where winning the lottery has destroyed families. I could see how that could happen. I can just imagine people coming out of the woodwork wanting a few dollars here and there. I can also imagine people would feel more inclined to ask you for money since you did not earn the money but simply won it.
On the television show about lottery winners one man said he wished he had never won the lottery. He showered his family with gifts, especially his granddaughter. His granddaughter ended up dying from a drug overdose.
Many people think that money is the solution to all of their problems. I don't think having millions of dollars necessarily guarantees happiness.
I am sure my lottery dreams are the same as everyone elses. New house, nice cars, and vacations are on my list. Then I started thinking about what would I do with my life after a few purchases. There is a television show that highlights million dollar rooms. Not million dollar houses, but one room that cost over a million dollars. I don't think I would ever want to live that lavishly.
I don't know what I would do with millions and millions of dollars. I saw a millionaire who bought their spouse a five million dollar watch for their birthday. I can't imagine walking around with a five million dollar watch. I can barely imagine walking around with five million dollars in the bank.
What would you do with millions and millions of dollars? Do you think you would be happy? Oprah has that kind of money and instead of retiring she continues to work and invest in owning a television network. I wonder why. Beyonce has millions of dollars and her and her husband continue to work. They have enough money never to work a day in their lives again.
I don't think they are greedy, I think working and doing something with your life may be the key to happiness. I think it is just easier for them because they have plenty of money to live above their means.
I could be wrong and probably will not have the opportunity to find out how the other side lives. I am still going to keep buying lotto tickets though because I would love to find out.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's top court endorsed the postponement of Hugo Chavez's inauguration this week and ruled on Wednesday that the cancer-stricken president and his deputy would continue in their roles, despite a cacophony of opposition complaints.
Critics had argued the 58-year-old's absence from his own swearing-in ceremony on January 10 meant a caretaker president must be appointed. Chavez has not been seen in public nor heard from in almost a month following surgery in Cuba.
"Right now we cannot say when, how or where the president will be sworn in," Supreme Court Chief Judge Luisa Morales told a news conference.
"As president re-elect there is no interruption of performance of duties ... The inauguration can be carried out at a later date before the Supreme Court."
The decision opens the door in theory for Chavez to remain in office for weeks or months more from a Cuban hospital bed - though there is no evidence he is even conscious.
It leaves the South American country in the hands of Vice President Nicolas Maduro, as de facto leader of the government.
The opposition say that is a brazen violation of the constitution, and that Maduro should leave office on Thursday when the current presidential term had been due to expire.
They say National Assembly boss Diosdado Cabello, another powerful Chavez ally, should take over the running of the country while new elections would be organized within 30 days.
Maduro would be the ruling Socialist Party's candidate.
Government leaders insist Chavez, 58, is fulfilling his duties as head of state, even though official medical bulletins say he suffered complications after the surgery, including a severe lung infection, and has had trouble breathing.
His resignation or death would transform politics in the OPEC nation, where he is revered by poor supporters thankful for his social largesse, but denounced by opponents as a dictator.
Moody's Investors Service warned on Wednesday that Venezuela's sovereign credit rating, already at junk status, faces short-term risks over any political transition.
Prices of Venezuela's widely traded bonds have soared lately on Chavez's health woes, but dipped this week as investors' expectations of a quick government change apparently dimmed.
The president has undergone four operations, as well as weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, since being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in his pelvic area in June 2011.
He looked to have staged a remarkable recovery from the illness last year, winning a new six-year term at a hard-fought election in October. But within weeks of his victory he had to return to Havana for more treatment.
The government has called for a huge rally outside the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on Thursday, and allied leaders including Uruguay's Jose Mujica and Bolivia's Evo Morales have said they will visit - despite Chavez's absence.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, a close friend, has announced plans to visit Chavez in Cuba on Friday.
The unprecedented silence by Chavez, who is well known for his hours-long rambling speeches, has convinced many Venezuelans that his 14 years in power may be coming to an end.
Unlike after his previous operations in Cuba, no photographs have been published of him recuperating, and social media in Venezuela is buzzing with rumors he is on life support.
Cabello, the pugnacious head of the National Assembly, has repeatedly ruled out taking over as caretaker president to order a new presidential election, saying Chavez remains in charge.
"Tomorrow we will all go to the Miraflores palace," he told a televised Socialist Party meeting on Wednesday. "The people will be invested as president. We are all Chavez!"

Washington, D.C. (April 12, 2012) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) President and CEO John J. Castellani issued the following statement today:
"Today, two important reports were released that together paint a vivid picture of the role of collaboration in the research ecosystem – one by highlighting partnerships with academic medical centers (AMCs) and one by highlighting the contributions patients make to medical research by participating in clinical trials.
"The first, by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, confirms that, in response to our growing understanding of the mechanism of diseases that our researchers have enjoyed in recent years, collaborations between biopharmaceutical companies and AMCs are an increasingly common, 'naturally complementary' approach to harness the full potential of new scientific discoveries. There are many significant mutual benefits associated with these collaborative efforts, which can range from broad arrangements exploring promising pathways for potential new therapies to translating that research into clinical development, and even collaborations on use of new technologies such as novel diagnostics or nanotechnology.
"These collaborations are focused on a shared goal: medical innovation that benefits patients. And, these medical advances can also help curb long-term healthcare costs.
"By working side by side on cutting-edge science, tools and resources, partnerships allow us to rise to the challenges and opportunities of, for example, personalized medicines and a growing understanding of rare diseases.
"Of course, partnerships with academia represent only one type of collaboration in the research ecosystem. But ultimately, our work would be impossible without one of our most important partners: the patients we serve. This is evidenced by today's second report, the Massachusetts-focused 'Research in Your Backyard.' It details the role that residents of the Bay State have played by participating in clinical trials – and the effect that those trials have had on healthcare and the state's economy.
"This important report found that in Massachusetts, biopharmaceutical research companies are conducting or have conducted nearly 4,000 clinical trials of new medicines in collaboration with the state's clinical research centers, university medical schools and hospitals. More than 2,000 of these have targeted the nation's six most debilitating chronic diseases.
"Of course, patient participation in trials is a necessary part of the process. Nearly 500 of the state's current clinical trials are still recruiting patients. Although trial participants might benefit from getting access to new research therapies before they are widely available, healthy patient volunteers play an equally important role.
"It takes many different partners to make medical progress a reality. As the two reports released today show, we can make a difference in America's future, and the future of America's health, by working together in a collaborative, flexible, constructive way."
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $49.5 billion in 2011 in discovering and developing new medicines.

The Hague, 13 September, 2012 – The close collaboration between the Netherlands and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) was reaffirmed today during meetings between WFP's Executive Director Ertharin Cousin and Dutch partners across all areas: government, civil society and the private sector.
"We deeply value WFP's exceptional partnership with the Netherlands. The commitment the government has shown each year to supporting our operations around the globe, coupled with the vital support from the private sector and civil society, demonstrates both Dutch generosity and technical expertise," said Cousin on her first official visit as Executive Director to the Netherlands.
During meetings with Minister for European Affairs and International Cooperation Ben Knapen and other Foreign Ministry officials, Cousin discussed the Netherlands' new Policy Framework for Humanitarian Aid, including their greater focus on disaster risk reduction, improved humanitarian coordination and greater accountability to both the communities affected by emergencies as well as the Dutch taxpayers.
"I want to thank the Netherlands for its leadership in 'Good Humanitarian Donorship' and for recently making a two-year multilateral contribution of €72 million. With this predictable funding, WFP can plan activities that will maximize efficiency and move quickly to provide emergency assistance,'' said Cousin, citing as examples their investments in WFP's operations in the Sahel and in the Horn of Africa.
WFP's Executive Director also convened a strategy discussion with private sector partners. The Netherlands is regarded as the birthplace of WFP's engagement with the private sector. Ten years ago WFP initiated its first-ever private partnership with TNT, the Dutch international transport company. Among its contributions, TNT has supplied logistical expertise and helped to transport food during major emergencies.
WFP's partnerships with the Dutch private sector has grown steadily over the past decade with the addition of corporations such as Unilever N.V., PostNL, the National Lottery (NPL) and the global sciences company DSM, which helped to develop highly-nutritious fortified foods for young children. Recently, the Dutch branch of Quaker Oats, a Pepsico subsidiary, raised awareness and funds through a consumer campaign.

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. Each year, on average, WFP feeds more than 90 million people in more than 70 countries.

NEWARK — A Northern California man was injured Wednesday night when he accidentally shot himself at a downtown car dealership, police said.
Officers were called at 8:35 p.m. to Washington Hospital at 2000 Mowry Ave. for a report of someone suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg, said Cmdr. Mike Carroll.
When police arrived they learned that earlier in the evening, Patrick Rudolph, 39, was with his brother at Fremont Ford at 39700 Balentine Drive, helping him shop for a vehicle.
Rudolph, who is from Lakeport, was sitting in a car in the parking lot waiting for his brother to finish purchasing a car when he accidentally shot himself, Carroll said.
"He'd been dismantling a 9 mm handgun just before it discharged in to his leg," Carroll said.
The bullet entered Rudolph's left thigh and ended up in his left knee.
Rudolph's brother drove him to the hospital to be treated for the injury.
He remained hospitalized late last night and as of Thursday had not been arrested.
Carroll said officers recovered the handgun and have sent the case to the Alameda County District Attorney's Office for review. Under state law, it's illegal to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle while in a public place.

MEDFORD, Mass. – On the first day of the 2012 Beacons Invitational, volleyball faced two extremely tough tests in the Gulls of Endicott College and the fourth ranked Captains of Christopher Newport University Saturday afternoon at Cousens Gymnasium on the campus of Tufts University. The Beacons would walk away with a 3-2 win over the Gulls, but fell to the Captains who just one year ago advanced the NCAA Championship match.
In the opener the Beacons had to work extremely hard to hold off a very hungry Endicott team. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead following 25-21 and 25-16 victories, the Gulls clawed their way back into the match by take the next two sets by the finals of 28-26 and 25-22. In the fifth and deciding set, UMB managed to hang on with the help of an early rally to take the 15-8 victory and extend their recent win-streak to four straight matches.
Combined for players finished with 10 or more kills for UMB in the opening match. Senior Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, Calif.) led the team and the match with her 23 kills. Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) and Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) were tied with 12 kills each, while Amber Clemons (Simi Valley, Calif.) finished with a total of 20 kills and a match-high .409 attack percentage.
Setters Emma Rocha (Boynton Beach, Fla.) and Megan Pollock (Wilson, Calif.) combined for 74 assists respectively and played a major part in the Beacons early run in the fifth set. Defensively Kayla Wilson (San Jose, Calif.) was solid all match as she combined for 27 digs. Porter was right behind her with 22 digs to finish with a double-double. At the net UMB combined for 10.5 blocks, with Molly Witzmann (Encinitas, Calif.), Briana Sousa (Swansea, Mass.) and Morrison each finishing with four block assists. Morrison also had the only two solo blocks for the Beacons as well.
In the nightcap the Beacons were hoping feed off the energy that the rowdy UMass Boston crowd brought to Cousens Gymnasium. The first set was perhaps some of the best volleyball the Beacons have played since their 3-2 regional win over Wellesley College on September 28. UMB came out firing and matched everything that the reigning national runner-ups threw at them. The Captains did manage to pullout the narrow victory as they earned a 25-22 decision. That momentum would be all the fuel that the Captains would need for the next two sets as they handed the host Beacons a 25-19 loss in the second and a 25-14 loss in the third.
Thompson was once again the Beacons go-to hitter as she finished with a match-high 15 kills. Rocha and Pollock totaled 27 assists respectively. Porter totaled 15 digs, while Wilson combined for 10. Witzmann was the lone Beacon to record more than one block assist as the freshman finished with two.
Volleyball will close out the Beacons Invitational tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. when they take on No. 23 Southwestern University (TX).

Figures released by the Department for Transport show that the average fuel consumption for a new car was 43.6 miles per gallon in 2009. Ten years earlier the figure was barely 35 mpg and while cars are becoming less 'thirsty' they still have a long way to go to match the frugal 100 mpg delivered by Peugeot's Kisbee scooter.
Designed for urban transport, the Kisbee weighs only 95kg, which helps with fuel economy. Its clean and efficient 50cc 4-stroke engine features a lighter piston design and con-rod for enhanced performance and reduced emissions.
Sales of scooters in the UK rose by 12% between January to October this year and it's not only savings on petrol that are attracting motorists onto two wheels. Parking costs are increasingly featuring in buying decisions (motorcycle parking is almost universally free) as well as the associated reduction in journey times, helped by access to bus lanes in many cities.
Literally streets ahead of the average car around town, covering more than twice the distance for every gallon of fuel, the Kisbee is currently available at £1249, thanks to a promotional discount for UK customers (Please remember this is a limited time offer which may have ended). Covered by a 24-month unlimited mileage factory warranty, details can be found on this models and other using the menu at the top of this page.

Iron Mountains
The Iron Mountains or Ered Engrin were an immense mountain range in the north, stretching across Middle-earth from east to west. In the west it bend north a hundred leagues from reaching Helcaraxë.[1]
Of old the Iron Mountains connected the Blue Mountains (Ered Luin) of the West to the Red Mountains (Orocarni) of the East, but in the wars between the Valar and Melkor the mountain range was distorted.
Melkor's great fortresses of Angband and Utumno were built in the mountains. North of the range lay the regions of ever-lasting cold.
After the War of Wrath the Iron Mountains were broken and disappeared for a great part of their length.
Remnants of the range in the East could perhaps be all the northern mountain ranges of Eriador and Rhovanion: the Mountains of Angmar, Gundabad, the Ered Mithrin, and the Iron Hills, still occupied by Orcs and Dragons until the Third Age.[2]
These mountains, if imagined to belong to a greater range, indeed occupy the same location as the Iron Mountains in Tolkien's map in the Ambarkanta.[3]

This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
This is a branch of medicine that is primarily focused on the musculoskeletal structures of the human body. The branch involves treating tumors that are present in these structures. This branch of medicine deals with tumors in both children and adults. The branch also deals with orthopedic problems that require a multidisciplinary corporation to treat. For instance fractures, arthritis and infections.
The process of diagnosing bone cancer will entail imaging. Imaging may be done through the use of various means. The faster the cancer is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin. Any of these methods may be used to image the cancer growth:
Imaging cancer in the musculoskeletal structure helps to establish the structures it has affected. It also helps the doctor determine the best type of treatment. Needle biopsy is also performed in some instances. The needle biopsy eliminates the need for an invasive incision. This used to be the standard procedure bore advances in medicine.
A number of treatment options are available for patients with tumors in the musculoskeletal structures. The most common type of procedure is chemotherapy. This is only used if the diagnosis determines the tumor to be cancerous. More than a hundred drugs are used for treating cancer. Sometimes chemotherapy can be quite effective; however, at times, it does not work.
In some instances, a patient may be asked to participate in a clinical trial. This is because researchers are constantly working on new drugs to deal with cancer. These clinical trials are important in making advances in the treatment of cancer. Patients who participate in them are making an important contribution to medicine.
Other types of treatment are surgery. The common type of surgery will usually involve removing the cancerous section and replacing it with an artificial substitute. This is known as bone sparing. The procedure has gained prominence in recent years. It is quite effective and prevents the cancerous cells from spreading to other parts.
If the tumors are not in the bones, the surgery may be performed to remove infected parts. In most cases, surgery usually means that there are some scars left. At times, these scars can be quite prominent. However, the surgery can be quite effective in stopping the spread of cancer.

Subsidies, Aliens, and Ecologists: Connectivity at the Edge - Perspectives on Ocean Science
Date: 10/12/2011; 55 minutes
While often treated as distinct and independent ecosystems, marine and terrestrial habitats are intimately connected through a number of pathways, both natural and unnatural. Join University of San Diego biological oceanographer and Scripps graduate Drew Talley, as he discusses the ways in which these linkages are formed (and broken), and how connectivity across academic, public, and government sectors can help us to better understand coastal habitats.

Technical issue curtails MH370 search
An underwater drone searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has been forced to resurface for the second straight day.
The first mission of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Bluefin-21 on Tuesday was returned to the surface after just six hours because its depth limit of 4.5 kilometres had been exceeded.
It was expected to be a 24-hour mission, comprising four hours travel to and from the ocean floor, 16 hours of sidescan sonar work and four hours of downloading and analysing data.
The AUV was redeployed on Wednesday but was forced to return to surface to rectify a technical issue.
While on the deck of the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield, its data was downloaded.
The vehicle was then redeployed to continue its underwater search for MH370, which was carrying 239 passengers and crew when it went missing more than five weeks ago.
Initial analysis of the data did not indicate any significant detections, the Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre (JACC) said.
Searchers ceased the hunt for acoustic signals from the Boeing 777's black box on Monday after it became clear the batteries had died, eight days after their guaranteed shelf life and six days after the last audio detections.
And it could be the final day of the aircraft search for floating debris, with JACC saying on Monday that part of the operation would continue for two to three more days.
On Wednesday, 14 planes and 11 ships combed a 55,151 square kilometre area of the Indian Ocean, centred about 2087 kilometres north west of Perth.
While the water depth of the search area was previously estimated at being about 4.5km, Tuesday's Bluefin-21 mission encountered a slightly deeper zone, causing the day's work to be automatically aborted.
JACC said the device could scan to depths deeper than 4.5km, but the sonar imaging became less effective the further down it went.
JACC chief Angus Houston told reporters earlier this week that another much larger vessel with wreckage recovery capability that could go a lot deeper than Bluefin-21 was "being looked at as we speak".
"Options to acquire additional recovery assets to assist in the search of missing Malaysian Airline flight MH370 are still being considered," JACC told AAP.

Wool Removal Day
I don't care how cold it is today, that wool is coming off. I'm not sure our ewes were too happy, but how would you know? We always shear a few weeks before lambing, so the ewes come in the barn at night to give birth. The new babies don't have to fight all that dirty wool to find the udder.
David Ekstrom with Successful Farming took this shot of me in the wool bag. David was taking video of the shearing process.

UKIP - Send in the 'clowns'
This is the day when those dubbed "clowns, loonies, fruitcakes and closet racists" may find it hard to resist the temptation to laugh in the face of their detractors in the established political parties.
It is the day UKIP emerged as a real political force in the land.
The leaders of all other political parties will now be considering how to respond, what to say and what to do in the face of the party's rise.
UKIP has evolved over the two decades since it was created from an anti-EU pressure group into a fully fledged party which has now proved that it can succeed beyond European elections.
This is a more profound change than you might think. Before today a party created because of one issue and dominated by one man could, in theory, have simply wound up after a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.
Many of its early backers might have concluded at that point - "job done".
Now, however, there will be UKIP councillors all over the country (there may even be some with a slice of power once all the results are in) who will insist they exist for other purposes. UKIP is not going the way of the Referendum Party.
For now their impact will be on other parties.
Tories on the right will claim that if only David Cameron had listened to them none of this would have happened. They will demand political red meat to woo back their former supporters.
To some extent it's already been offered - David Cameron has talked of a parliamentary vote on an EU referendum, he's announced a crackdown on immigration and a tougher prison regime has been heralded. So, what now?
Blairites will reheat their warnings that Ed Miliband has not extended Labour's support enough.
Some in his party will angst about their appeal in the South, some about their failure to convince their traditional white working class voters. He will respond, I suspect, with an attempt to forge a much clearer economic alternative.
The Lib Dems will be relieved that the spotlight is on someone else's problems whilst having to live with the fact that their party's problems are very far from over.
Nigel Farage has already proved that he is one of those politicians like Ken and Boris and Alex Salmond who can make his country smile. Now the clowns are bringing tears to their opponents' eyes. He's sure to see the joke in that.
PS: Having said all of this this let's not forget that UKIP did not win the elections. They look set to end the night with tens of councillors not many hundreds, unlike their opponents. It is extremely unlikely to run any council alone.
They have no MPs and, under our first-past-the-post system, it would be a major achievement to elect just one. Labour still won last night's by-election and the Conservatives look set to have the most councillors and run the most councils.
UKIP are putting down political roots. They are not about to challenge for power.

Macleans and the Medical Post is publishing a series of posts adapted from the 2012 Hancock Lecture, "Who Lives and Who Dies, Will Social Media Decide?" by Julia Belluz.
Details: The 2012 Annual Hart House Hancock Lecture features innovative thinkers, chosen by students, who create public discourse on current issues. This year's lecture was given by Julia Belluz, Associate Editor at the Medical Post and a National Magazine Award-winning journalist covering health care, policy and medical politics. The lecture explored how social pressure influences our personal health choices, sometimes for the worst. Moving beyond individual choices, the lecture explored how and why certain types of evidence impact how health policies are made and examined how we can bridge the research to action gap so that we better engage with evidence as a society for more sound personal health and policy decisions.
"In the last few years, we've seen cases where something as trivial as a tweet literally extends a person's life, gets them access to medical care they wouldn't have had otherwise, and changes health policy."
–Julia Belluz
Facebook event page: www.facebook.com
Julia Belluz recently spoke on CBC's The Current about the potential—and potential hazards—that come with the intersection of social media and health care. You can listen here:
Julia Belluz is a journalist focused on health care, policy and medical politics and works to improve discourse about health and science in the media. A journalism fellow with McMaster University, she has advised the World Health Organization on training health and science journalists from across the developing world about using research evidence to inform journalism and policy making. Ms. Belluz earned her bachelor's degree in journalism from Ryerson University, where she won the Gordon Sinclair fellowship, and an M.Sc. in anthropology at the London School of Economics. She has worked at The Times, The Economist's Intelligent Life and is currently the Associate Editor at the Medical Post. Her popular blog 'Science-ish' is a joint project with Maclean's, the Medical Post and the McMaster Health Forum. Read more about Julia on her website: www.juliabelluz.com
