Mary Tyler Moore in New York City in a grandma style floral and an old school denim jacket with some hair matchin' stomping boots. We don't mess with Mary Tyler Moore, but any more of this just won't do. (Photo: WENN)
Lily Allen performed in a short floral getup in England. Matching her dress with sparkly silver heels funks up her look and makes it pop star ready. Lily actually studied horticulture with the intention of becoming a florist, before she hit it big as a musician. Flower it up baby! (Photo: WENN)
Scarlett Johansson at the premiere of "He's Just Not That Into You" in a strapless, floor length Oscar de la Renta gown and gold chandelier earrings. The traditional watercolor-esque floral complements her pale skin tone and stunning figure. Not to mention that she transforms from a buxom blonde to a bangin' brunette with such ease! Scarlett, every man is into you, dear! (Photo: WENN)
Amy Winehouse arrived late to court earlier this month entering a not guilty plea to the charge of common assault for punching a fan. Possibly to look a little more proper and slightly less rehab-worthy, Winehouse wore this floral mini-dress and her trademark beehive wig. We still say No, No, No to the belt at the waist, but floral is a lot softer than 7-day-worn unwashed jeans! (Photo: WENN)
Princess P, always pretty in pink, took her new boyfriend Doug Reinhardt out to the paparazzi swarmed, celeb hotspot the Ivy for dinner with her parents. Getting serious? In a more modern floral, Paris looks like a real life Barbie. The Heiress Paris Barbie, that is! (Photo: WENN)
She's no slumdog! A notable red carpet style winner, Freida Pinto pranced the press line for the Elle Style Awards in a black and white floral embellished dress and super strappy stilettos. The floral look is less peachy and more elegant when pulled off in black and white. Adding the embellishments to the dress brings flare to an otherwise typical silhouette.(Photo: WENN)
Jen Aniston momentarily went through "The Breakup" with her little black dress and flowered it up in this Balenciaga floral number for the Marley & Me premiere in Paris. Pairing it with black tights and sky high brown suede Christian Louboutin heels, she is reminiscent of the "pre-Brad" Jen we remember. While Aniston has a friend in us for finally mixing up her look, the only thing we really dig is her loose fitting gold watch!(Photo: WENN)

Retrospective Exhibit
Were you there? The Evolution of a College Campus
It was cool to see the history of my school. I learned many things I would have never known.
Justin Weaver
I miss the good old days at WACC.
Patty Burns, '71
This college has transformed over the years. It's amazing. So far my time at PCT has been the best time of my life.

Gallery Exhibit
Visitors to the retrospective exhibit were invited to share their thoughts using yellow, posted notes. Many of these have been included in this publication. You can post your thoughts on the exhibit and this publication as well as your memories of the institution here.
A collection of photographs and artifacts from the archives of Pennsylvania College of Technology was exhibited October 6 November 8, 2009, in The Gallery at Penn College.
The exhibit took viewers on a journey through the institution's rich history, from the inception of adult classes at the Williamsport High School in 1914, through its evolution into Williamsport Technical Institute, Williamsport Area Community College and present-day Penn College. Images depicted the many aspects of campus life that have remained constant through time, while providing a glimpse of people, places, and events long relegated to the annals of history.
This commemorative booklet features the images exhibited in the retrospective. It also shares comments from visitors and the individuals who helped to gather the images and information used to create the historical display.
Did you miss the exhibit?
You can still participate online! Identify people and places, or just leave a comment on archived photos on facebook. Occasionally, Alumni Relations will post an old image with tags and questions for our alums.
The first high school in Williamsport was organized in 1869; 13 pupils from existing grammar schools were selected to attend. Grammar school teachers objected to losing their best pupils and the public objected to the added expense. The three-year course of study for high school included algebra, chemistry, physiology, and natural philosophy.
The course of study was extended to four years in 1873.
The first Williamsport High School building was constructed on the southeast corner of Third and Walnut Streets in 1887.
By 1900, the high school had 370 students and 11 teachers.
In 1910, the high school began offering basic industrial classes in wood shop and metal shop.
Construction of a new high school building began in 1913.
The old school burned down April 4, 1914.
The new Williamsport High School opened on West Third Street. The school included a small industrial arts shop the first of its kind in the state offering woodworking and machining.
Because local lumber and woodworking industries were in a boom period, woodworking was the most popular course offered from 1914-20.
The first adult full-time day school and an evening industrial school were established. Pattern making, automotive and electrical courses were added to the curriculum, providing expanded opportunities for retraining WWI veterans, many of them disabled. A cooperative work-study industrial course for students over 16 years of age began. By 1920, 48 local companies were using co-op students.
Evening conferences in foremanship training, co-sponsored by the school district and local Chamber of Commerce, were started to meet the rising demand for supervisors in area industries. In the first four years, 150 foremen from 20 plants took the evening training course.
A Williamsport Chamber of Commerce survey of local industries revealed that while unemployment continued to rise, there was a concurrent increase in the shortage of skilled workers. The high school was chosen to design a retraining program for the unemployed. Working in cooperation with several agencies, the school developed a plan to screen, train and place unemployed workers. The first experimental class was enrolled in 1931. The successful result, "The Williamsport Plan," gained national acclaim.
To remedy the shortage of truck drivers revealed by the 1930 survey, the high school borrowed trucks to begin the first truck-driving course in the United States. Out of this course grew the driver-training curriculum, which was later offered in high schools nationwide.
Civilian Conservation Corps and National Youth Administration workers were trained by the Williamsport Area School District and then Williamsport Technical Institute.
Industrial training shops were moved from the high school building to new industrial units on Susquehanna Street. A new wing was added to the high school building, containing 20 classrooms and a small theater.
The Works Project Administration began construction of a gymnasium across the street from the high school building. The new gymnasium was dedicated in 1937.
On May 21 11 days after the Nazis invaded Holland and Belgium the Board of Directors of Williamsport School District established a special Emergency Training Commission to adapt the vocational program to meet defense needs. On June 14, the program for defense industry training began to operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Williamsport was among the first schools to adapt an existing vocational program to meet war needs.
The high school vocational and adult education programs merged to form Williamsport Technical Institute.
Dr. George Parkes was first director of W.T.I., which enrolled 6,500 and operated 24/7 in support of World War II efforts.
Anticipating the rising importance of the airplane and the need for skilled aviation technicians, the Aviation Shop was instituted at the airport in Montoursville. It was the first instructional shop in the United States to be set up at an airport.
The famous "Line 48" experiment (one step in the manufacture of the Lycoming R-680 engine) began. Lycoming Division of the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation (Avco) wanted to train disabled workers for assembly line war production. W.T.I. worked with several agencies to set up the entire assembly line at the school. The disabilities of the men had to be carefully studied so that each could be matched with the right machine. When Line 48 became an efficient unit, machinery, workers and school staff moved to the Lycoming plant. This experience prepared W.T.I. staff for retraining disabled veterans after World War II.
How to Operate a Lathe, a book by W.T.I. faculty member John Shuman, was published; it was used nationwide to teach lathe operators.
Clyde M. Ludwig became the first student to attend W.T.I. on the GI bill.
W.T.I. adopted the "Watsontown Plan," allowing students from area schools with no vocational education facilities to spend two weeks at W.T.I. learning a vocation and two weeks in their respective schools taking regular classes.
The institute's agricultural education program was developed under the leadership of James Bressler.
Dr. Parkes left his position at W.T.I. to serve as the superintendent of the Williamsport School District until his retirement in 1958.
The institute's Vocational Diagnostic Program was established. Students were enrolled for four weeks, during which they received guidance, counseling and opportunities to test their abilities in real, hands-on work in various shops. The United Mine Workers was one of the first organizations to enroll their workers in this program.
Dr. Kenneth Carl became the second director of W.T.I.
Due to its growing international reputation, W.T.I. was officially approved to train foreign students.
The Williamsport Chamber of Commerce formed the Industrial Development Committee to attract new industry to the area. Some companies' decisions to relocate to Williamsport were a direct result of W.T.I.'s training programs.
Total W.T.I. enrollment was 2,000 students; 68 teachers were employed at the high school and 85 teachers at the technical institute.
The Community College Act was enacted, authorizing local communities to petition the Pennsylvania State Board of Education to sponsor and establish community colleges.
Williamsport Technical Institute became Williamsport Area Community College, the second community college established in Pennsylvania. Classes began Sept. 7.
1,000 books were moved out of the Williamsport High School Library and into leased space at 1223 West Fourth St., a former Laundromat. After two years, the W.A.C.C. library moved again, into leased space in the Rishel Building at 1201 West Third Street.
When a new Williamsport High School was constructed at 2990 West Fourth Street, W.A.C.C. acquired the former Williamsport High School building on West Third Street.
The Herman T. Schneebeli Earth Science Center is dedicated in Allenwood.
Dr. Carl retired as president of W.A.C.C.
Dr. William Feddersen became the second president of W.A.C.C.
The Career Development Center was established at W.A.C.C.
The W.A.C.C. Foundation, Inc. was established to raise funds to support college programs.
Dr. Robert Breuder became the third president of W.A.C.C.
The new Learning Resources Center opened providing a permanent on-campus home for the library as well as classrooms and laboratories.
Veronica M. Muzic earned the College's first Master Teacher Award.
Local school districts ended sponsorship of W.A.C.C. Because the community college system required local sponsorship, the future of the institution was in jeopardy.
The City of Williamsport agreed to become the sole sponsor of W.A.C.C. on a temporary basis, while College officials pursued a permanent solution to the sponsorship crisis.
Governor Robert P. Casey signed legislation on July 1, transforming W.A.C.C. into Pennsylvania College of Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Pennsylvania State University.
A one-year planning grant from the National Science Foundation served as the basis for the development of the College's Technology Transfer Center, which became operational this year; in later years, it became known as Workforce Development & Continuing Education.
The College purchased the Capitol Theatre in downtown Williamsport and began a campaign for community support to develop a Community Arts Center.
Interface, a sculpture by alumnus Frederick T. Gilmour, was dedicated to honor all College alumni.
Penn College held the first public demonstration of its complete Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) process in its "factory of the future" in the Advanced Technology and Health Sciences Center; the event was believed to be the first time an American college achieved such a demonstration of industrial-scale equipment linking multiple CIM components. The College also was selected as one of 11 colleges and universities in the nation to participate in IBM's Manufacturing Industrial Fellowship Program.
Penn College one of 95 colleges selected from among 540 competing in the highly competitive "Title III" program earned a $2.5 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Strengthening Institution's Program; the grant set in motion an "educational revolution" for technology-based instructional projects.
Penn College became a four-year institution with the offering of its first Bachelor of Science degrees in construction management, dental hygiene, manufacturing engineering technology, plastics and polymer engineering technology, and welding and fabrication engineering technology.
CBS Evening News aired a national broadcast from the Penn College campus on the subject of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The piece focused on inconsistencies in the government's handling of work retraining resources and featured Penn College as an example of how retraining programs can work for adults who lose their jobs after factory closings.
The first Penn College Bachelor of Science award was presented to John Upcraft, of State College, who earned a degree in manufacturing engineering technology after transferring from Penn State.
Kathryn Wentzel Lumley Aviation Center opened at the regional airport in Montoursville.
Alvin C. Bush Campus Center was opened as a facility to provide student services, recreation, and meeting space.

About TEDMED
TEDMED is a multi-disciplinary community of innovators and leaders who share a common determination to create a better future in health and medicine. So many of our great challenges in health and medicine are rooted in social and commercial causes as much as medical. We need everybody at the table for an inclusive conversation about how to get the future in health and medicine we all want.
Once a year at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, TEDMED curates an unusual and provocative program on the Opera House stage. The 3 ½ day program features brilliant short talks and stunning artistic performances that celebrate the power of unexpected connections to create important new possibilities.
The stage program allows us to recharge our brains, jumpstart new thinking, energize our work and worldview and alter how we imagine new possibilities forever.
1,800 leading thinkers and doers from across society form the delegation at our annual gathering. TEDMED is a place where the person sitting next to you is as important as the speaker on stage.
TEDMED believes that the future of health and medicine will be shaped by vital input from leading medical colleges, teaching hospitals, government agencies, and non-profit institutions around the world. And so, in a spirit of collaboration and information sharing, the entire TEDMED event is broadcast free to these institutions thanks to the generous support from our Partners. We call this TEDMED Live.
Delegates are as eager to connect with each other during informal social events, as they are to connect with themselves during the stage program. They come to meet people they would never otherwise meet, discover ideas they would never otherwise be exposed to and build relationships that often last a lifetime.
2014 Dates:
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C.

TEDMED comes together each spring at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, with all talks presented on the magnificent Opera House stage.
Along with talks and social gatherings both at the Kennedy Center and elsewhere around Washington DC. At TEDMED 2013, our opening reception on Tuesday evening was held in the "Hive", a free span, 30,000-square-foot superstructure overlooking the Potomac on the grounds of the Kennedy Center. The following night, TEDMED hosted a celebration dinner at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
In previous years, TEDMED has hosted Galas at other amaizing DC locations, including: The National Building Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, and the Library of Congress.
These venues are inspiring backdrops for remarkable conversations and new connections.

CLOSE: And, But & Therefore
Individual teams re-connect back at the Marvin Center. Each team will briefly present output from afternoon activity and discuss contribution to year-round discussion via Great Challenges online platform.
Great Challenges Day: An Afternoon of Great Provocations and New Mental Models
Today's Great Challenges in Health and Medicine are rooted in a complex web of poorly understood interdependencies among social, commercial, economic, regulatory, cultural and medical factors.
Progress against our challenges demands our best thinkers and doers from every discipline, whether in health and medicine or not, to figure out how to connect the seemingly unconnected and create new possibilities.
But, it's not enough just to convene this community and expect innovation to emerge. Time is too precious to just let it happen. Instead, we must provide a carefully curated program designed to stimulate, inspire and better prepare us to innovate.
We also must learn to share our work with others in ways that scale. Effective storytelling is the key and is carefully integrated into the TEDMED experience. Research and data are vital but so is how we present them to others. Stories create receptivity, engagement and connection that is much tougher with only cold hard facts. To make change in the world around us we need to capture other people's attention; we need to get them to care; and, ultimately, we need to get them to take action. That's where storytelling can make all the difference.
Delegates come to TEDMED to refresh their relationship with the world around them and have their "normal" views challenged. They intuitively understand that journeys filled with surprises and amazing new people will stimulate their imagination in ways that create all sorts of new possibilities in their own world and work.
That's what Great Challenges Day is all about. After spending 3 ½ days experiencing the formal stage program, the power of storytelling, meeting informally with fellow Delegates and learning about the entire innovation landscape in The Hive, Great Challenges Day extends the core TEDMED experience with a more intimate, more hands-on working session. Participants will convene in small groups to dig into the Challenge of their choice, along with 20-30 fellow Delegates. They'll leverage storytelling as a way to synthesize and simplify the complexities inherent to each of the Great Challenges. It is our hope that participants will perceive the challenge in a new, more visceral and more urgent way, and spur then to action.
The Great Challenges Program seeks to create a comprehensive, updated baseline of understanding of what we face in each Challenge. Without a fuller understanding, the singular efforts of our various specialties to manage these Challenges will have a marginal effect. To get real impact, multifaceted challenges needed multidisciplinary approaches. And, that's exactly what we hope to catalyze with the program.
In addition to our partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Great Challenges Day is made possible by the contributions of four leadership companies, each of which will facilitate multiple working group sessions:
- Booz Allen Hamilton
- Edelman
- Innosight
- Jump Associates
- George Washington University Faculty
We also thank our host for the Great Challenges Day, George Washington University as well as its faculty and students for their participation.
The Role of the Patient
Patient empowerment can be a double-edged sword. From hospitals and insurance companies to doctors and patients themselves, much of the medical system increasingly treats patients as "customers" or "consumers," terms that some people love and others hate. If patients are customers, does that mean "the customer is king" or does it mean "buyer beware" — or both?
If patients retain their traditional role, does that mean doctors are in charge? Are both in charge somehow? How is "power" shared among all stakeholders and how should it be shared?
Managing Chronic Diseases Better
Chronic disease is America's leading cause of premature death and disability. Heart disease, cancer, respiratory illness and certain others are among the most costly and common health problems, yet they are often among the most easily prevented and controlled.
How can we innovate better approaches to help patients prevent, manage and treat their chronic diseases and achieve better outcomes?
Coming to Terms with the Obesity Crisis (Adults)
In 40 years, the U.S. population has gone from 40% overweight to 68% overweight. Half of American adults are dangerously obese, leading to many chronic conditions and deadly (and expensive) diseases.
Scientists and doctors generally agree the obesity epidemic is behavioral in nature (not the result of a pathogen).The key drivers are our choices of food and activity, but multiple additional factors also play a role — from family dynamics to cultural roots, stress, economics, lifestyle and many more. Unlike smoking or drinking, eating is not optional. How can Americans move to healthier lifestyles — or, if we can't change these trends, how can the healthcare system cope with the results?
The Caregiver Crisis
An estimated 44 million people provide full-time or part-time care for the elderly, disabled veterans, new mothers, the injured, the sick, etc. — a problem that eventually impacts everyone in the nation.
Caregivers have few tools, few support systems and receive minimal, if any, training for these responsibilities. What innovations can we develop specifically to support the caregiver community?DISCUSSION FACILITATOR
Eliminating Medical Errors
All humans make mistakes. Doctors and nurses are human; they make mistakes. All systems are imperfect. Medical professionals use systems.
Errors by medical professionals and systems are inevitable (unfortunately, they send 2.4 million patients to hospitals yearly and are directly linked to 200,000 annual fatalities). Regardless of methods used to detect, prove and compensate for medical errors, how much better can we do in reducing or eliminating medical errors and what areas should we focus on to get the best improvements?
Achieving More Medical Innovation, More Affordably
New medical tests, treatments and devices are often very expensive when first introduced. Eventually, market forces bring the prices down. However, since most patients don't pay for healthcare out of their own pockets, they don't want to wait.
Patients disproportionately demand the latest, best medical products and services immediately — often, even if the demanded good is of marginal relevance to their condition. Leaving out questions of universal access and rationing, how can we make more medical innovations more affordable, more quickly, for more people?
Which proven strategies from Silicon Valley, the Moon landings, the Manhattan Project or other successful models could be applied effectively to achieving faster, yet less costly innovation in health and medicine?
Reducing Childhood Obesity
The challenge of childhood obesity is significantly different, some argue, from the challenge of adult obesity. Children don't have the power over their lives, decisions, and lifestyles that adults have (parents and adults make many decisions for them and have the power to enforce certain behaviors).
Social institutions have more impact on kids than on adults (like church, YMCA, and especially school — including school lunch programs, mandatory gym classes, possible nutritional education, etc.).
Finally, there is the fact that kids are less set in their ways than adults, so it's easier to change their behaviors and teach them new concepts. The number of obese children has just passed 20% and continues to grow. What is the full range of underlying causes for this trend and which combined causes are chiefly responsible?
Coming to Grips with End-of-Life Care
Modern medicine has extended the life expectancies of many terminally ill Americans. In turn, prolonging lives can mean incurring more intensive care and the associated costs.
In 2010, Medicare paid $55 billion for doctor and hospital bills during the last two months of patients' lives. Quality end-of-life care requires balancing the input of doctors, families and patients themselves. And making crucial end-of-life decisions can take physical and emotional tolls on patients and their loved ones.
How should we help people manage end-of-life care choices to maximize individual well-being and minimize social cost?
Preparing for the Dementia Tsunami
It's no secret that mental health tends to decline as we age (Alzheimer's, dementia, etc). Some is natural cognitive decline; some is disease with severe cognitive impairment due to diseases associated almost entirely with aging.
By 2020 there will be 43 million Americans over 65 and 15 million over 85 (double the figures of 1980). Almost certainly, we are facing an unprecedented number of mentally impaired citizens.
Hope for cures is not a strategy. What should we be doing to prepare to meet the needs of tens of millions of mentally impaired older citizens?
Addressing Whole-Patient Care
Regardless of patients' roles in their own healthcare, there will always be questions about how doctors should approach medical problems — by focusing more on the symptoms and disease, or on the patient who has them?
Most doctors specialize due to a variety of pressures and incentives from economic and technological to social, professional and educational. The number of medical specialists (and specialties) continues to grow while the number of primary care physicians continues to shrink.
In the process, the goal of fitting all these specialties together for effective whole-patient care becomes ever more elusive. How can we treat the whole patient rather than the disease?
Making Prevention Popular and Profitable
America spends $2 trillion a year on healthcare — mostly treating people after they become sick. How can we unlock prevention as a trillion-dollar business in America so we spend less on "sick care" and get Americans to "buy" healthy lifestyles?
Improving Medical Communication
Physicians are not typically trained in interpersonal communications and are not rewarded based on their communication skills.
Equally important, patients are often intimidated when talking to doctors and often feel they don't have a receptive audience, especially when doctors are rushed. What can be done about this on both sides of the challenge (patients and doctors) — including possible initiatives in areas ranging from education to technology, to possible changes in the physical workspace? How do we make this issue a priority?
Faster Adoption of Best Practices
Best Practices Medical progress only occasionally depends on double blind, placebo-controlled studies. Most healthcare improvements come through small, incremental steps across tens of thousands of surgeries, procedures and protocols — from a better way to take a temperature to a better stitch or a better way to ask a question in the ER. But most of these improvements are not captured, shared and replicated across the healthcare system.
Even when best practices are identified and publicized, many providers seem slow to adopt them. What can we do to capture millions of improvements per year and make best practices available to benefit many more providers and patients?
Addressing Healthcare Costs and Payment Systems
The U.S. remains locked in a decades-long controversy over how citizens should pay for healthcare, what healthcare should cost, who should pay, how much, and what incentives, if any, should be "paid" to patients who stay well (or try to).
How do we foster a thoughtful, civil dialog that focuses on science and the public interest, in a way that has a reasonable chance of eventually creating an approach we can all support?
Addressing the Impact of Poverty on Health
The 46 million Americans who live in poverty are measurably less healthy and have far worse health outcomes than the rest of the population. Less certain is how much of these negative health outcomes are directly caused by poverty and how much is caused by other factors.
America would be better off if everyone were healthy, regardless of income — especially since government programs cover some of these costs directly. How should we think about the role and impact of poverty within the larger question of health?
Promoting Active Lifestyles
There is no disagreement that people who are more active have dramatically better overall health. Yet today's average American adult burns 500 fewer calories per day than farmers and factory workers did 100 years ago — while consuming many more calories.
How do we invent broadly popular and achievable ways for people to become more active, so as to replace those "lost" energy expenditures?
Inventing Wellness Programs that Work
From corporate America to the U.S. government and its armed forces, small businesses and even religious and educational institutions, many large-scale organizations have a strong economic motive to encourage their workforces to adopt healthier lifestyles (worker wellness means lower insurance rates for employers).
Many organizations have discovered elements that support worker wellness to some degree, but no group has put it all together for large scale, long-term success. Compounding this problem is a disagreement over the relative responsibility of the individual versus the responsibility of the organization for employee health (with issues ranging from workplace environment and stress, to on-the-job support for healthy lifestyles—or the lack of such support).
What kinds of innovation should we be thinking about and how can we encourage them to come to market as soon as possible?
Waking Up to the Causes and Effects of Sleep Deprivation
While sleeping too few hours each night can have serious health consequences, we now know that better sleep is a tool that can be applied to many other Great Challenges of health and medicine. More and better quality sleep can fight obesity, help reduce medical errors, improve outcomes for the chronically ill, help special needs children cope better in society, fight stress, etc.
Sleep fights an uphill battle as American society seems to conspire against it. Children set off for school at dawn. Tough financial times push cash-strapped workers to take multiple jobs. Shift work conflicts with the body's natural clock. Type A personalities push themselves to work long hours and take redeye flights. Undiagnosed sleep apnea is rampant. Med students work 30-hour shifts with no sleep. Teenagers text into the night.
What is the full range of causes (social, medical, technological, economic, etc.) that engender and promote this widespread problem? What are the first-order and second-order effects, and beyond, of sleep deprivation? What would it take, and what would it mean, for America to view sleep as the third pillar of total health, alongside diet and exercise?
Coping with the Impact of Stress
Tranquilizers, antidepressants, sleeping pills and antianxiety medications exceed 33% of annual U.S. prescriptions. Unhealthy levels of stress are far more prevalent than most people recognize, and stress contributes to many other mental and physical health problems.
Given that stress is difficult to quantify and varies from person to person, how do we better understand the role of stress in the larger picture of health?
Shaping the Future of Personalized Medicine
Science is harvesting more and more information about the human population, and individual patients specifically. Medicine is understanding the roles of genomics and the environment in a patient's medical history. Yet translating this data to practice has proved difficult. The fundamental question for a physician is still: will this treatment work for my patient?
How can the wealth of medical information be factored into patient medical records and into everyday care — more quickly, more usefully and more completely?
How can insights into individual patients — gleaned from in vitro and in vivo diagnostic tests — allow us to zero in on targeted therapies?

It's also important to clear your calendar. TEDMED is unlike any other event - our goal is not only to recruit brilliant, interesting speakers, but also to secure an equally talented audience. From breakfast through after-dinner socials, there will be amazing people to meet and great ideas to discuss. You won't want to miss a minute.
Come prepared to think; come prepared to interact -- but most of all, come prepared to have fun! You're sure to find TEDMED an unforgettable experience.

When to Arrive
It's best to arrive early so that you have enough time to settle in before the event begins. Delegate credentials pickup begins at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, April 16th. We'll send more information about how and where to pick up your credentials – the TEDMED badge -- as the event gets closer.
Following credentials pickup, TEDMED will host a reception at the Kennedy Center on Tuesday evening. There, Delegates are invited to unwind and meet the other talented folks with whom they will be spending the next three days. The first session kicks off following the reception. You won't want to miss a moment, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to travel, unpack and settle in before we jump into full swing.
Do plan to stay until the very end of the last session. Each and every one of our talks is integral to the experience.
Also, this year we will cap off TEDMED 2013 with a brand new, full afternoon session (1:00-5:30pm) called "Great Challenges Day." Organized around the 20 Great Challenges of Health and Medicine and leveraging the science of storytelling, we will get together in small work groups in search of new insights and a more complete understanding of the key issues that impede a healthier future. Opt in to attend during registration - find out more.
We suggest making post-event travel plans, as Washington, DC is full of superb museums and landmark attractions. Many folks stay the weekend to relax and continue the conversation. Should you decide to do so, please make the appropriate hotel accommodations.
See Full scheduleWeather
During the event, you should expect the weather to be around 65 degrees F during the day and 40 degrees F at night. The climate in this region is quite wet at this time of year so be sure to pack your rain gear. To find out more click here.
What to Wear
Casual dress is encouraged for TEDMED – we want our Delegates to be comfortable. Jackets, suits or ties are not required nor expected. Please plan on wearing comfortable shoes, as you may be walking a bit to and from sessions, breaks, meals and evening events. It gets chilly at night, so you may want to carry a sweater, jacket or scarf.
TEDMED will provide complimentary transportation between the hotels listed here and the Kennedy Center and evening events. The Kennedy Center also has a shuttle bus from Foggy Bottom Metro Station that runs every 15 minutes. A transportation schedule will be available before the start of the event.

Killradio Weekly News and Election Guide
The news show of science and reason!
What we have here is this week's Weekly News in Review from harpers.org (and the killradio news team)
but this time out we are adding a Guide to the Midterm Elections here in California. Do the Propositions leave you perplexed? Who the hell are these Judges? Do I really want to vote for Jerry Brown? (Yes.)
Former Killer and member of the first-rate comedy team The People Who Do That, Derek Iverson, posted his recommendations on his Facebook page and with his permission I (bennett) am sharing them with you -- and adding some of my own reasoning as well.
So a big Killradio thanks to Derek!
These recommendations are from Derek and bennett, not every member of Killradio. While we tend to the Progressive, kill dj's do not think as a block, and each Killer will have his own reasoning.
PS -- Ari Up, Rest in Peace.
Almost 30 minutes of news and opinion. Contains some "bad" language so listen before rebroadcasting.
Don't forget to listen to Kill's election coverage on Tuesday Nov. 2 starting at 7pm.

PNC Bank Blocks Some Online Customers while Combating Cyber Attacks
The bank sent an e-mail alerting customers that some may have lost online banking access in an attempt to block cyber attacks.
While working to combat recent cyber attacks, PNC Bank sent an e-mail to customers apologizing for blocking a "small percentage" of customers from using its website for online banking, according to various news outlets.
Online users of the Pittsburgh-based bank have had issues with the website since the fall, when a "hacktivist" group was targeting several banking institutions, including PNC.
The cyber attacks consist of abnormally high amounts of traffic flooding banking websites, which prevent legitimate online banking users to access the sites, according to USA Today.
While PNC has worked over several weeks to block the attacks, it has caused a different issue for some customers.
"PNC has taken steps to block this traffic and maintain online and mobile banking access for the vast majority of its customers," the e-mail said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "In some cases, those measures also may have blocked access to a small percentage of legitimate PNC customers for an extended period."

Nuke's In Europe
photos by Tom Robertson
Our man Zach McDonald is over in Belgium. The action there should soon heat up, even as the temperatures continue to plummet (even by Belgian standards) in what is traditionally known as the Christmas Cross week. Zach will continue the racing with the EuroCross Camp run by the head USA Cycling's Cyclocross Development Director Geoff Proctor. Our pal Tom Robertson stopped by the office a few weeks ago and slyly dropped the hint that he would be there shooting photos. Check out his website as well as click through for a few photos that he sent through of our man Zach racing in Belgium.
Classic Cycle, Zach's hometown shop, is having their annual Send a Kid to Europe Fundraiser to help with travel expenses over in Europe. This "kid" is the kid we call Nuke. Head over to the Rapha-FOCUS site for more details, or find your way up to Bainbridge Island for the festivities. While we are on the subject of Nuke here, pick up the latest copy of Velonews for the feature Sitting In which is all about Zach this month and uses that classic photo of him pointing to the camera as he crosses the finish line in Colorado. Fantastic stuff and Good Luck to Zach in Europe.
