MassBio Personalized Medicine Summit

MassBio Personalized Medicine Summit When: September 2nd, 2010. 7:30AM - 3:15PM Where: Astra Zeneca 35 Gatehouse Lane Waltham, MA 02451-1215 Website: www.massbio.org Personalized medicine today has made incredible strides towards realizing how a test coupled to a therapy can work, clinically. This summit will focus on the implementation of personalized medicine from multiple dimensions. Going forward, drug discovery, development, commercialization, clinical research, regulatory pathways, health informatics, and reimbursement will evolve, in part, based on personalized medicine breakthroughs. But there is little clarity around how personalized medicine will be implemented throughout the healthcare ecosystem. Although much of the attention around personalized medicine has been devoted to oncology, this summit will generate discussion to infer how lessons learned in oncology can be applied to other chronic illnesses. Confirmed speakers include: Mara Aspinall, President and CEO, On-Q-ity, Inc., Chris Hansen, Senior National Staff Counsel, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) John Hennessy, Executive Director and General Manager, AstraZeneca Laura Housman, Executive Director, Market Access and Pricing, Novartis John McDonough, Chief Executive Officer, T2 Biosystems Imran Nasrullah, Chief Business Officer, MassBio Bruce R.

Lebanese Perfection at Cafe Barada

I convinced two of my friends to try an assortment of Cafe Barada's appetizers with me on the basis of a long-ago review at this very Meetup web page. We were not disappointed: the hoummos, falafil, and baba ghanouj were scrumptious. Cafe Barada rotates their dinners based on a list of 25 specials. They prepare four or five from the list each day. Read their menu at www.cafebarada.net. Vegetarians can also find delicious variety (and eggplant - yum!) at Cafe Barada. Parking is relatively easy along this stretch of Massachusetts Avenue in North Cambridge. But please read the meters and the street signs. Some parts of Cambridge require their meters to be fed until 8 p.m. Buses for Arlington and North Cambridge originate in Harvard Square on the Red Line. These buses pass by Cafe Barada, which is just past Rindge Avenue and is across the street from Saint John's Church. Please be considerate of me and other members: do not hold a "Yes" RSVP unless you are reasonably certain that you will be able to attend. Members on the Waiting List will receive an e-mail when a space opens up. Cafe Barada is small, so no drop-ins. Punctuality will be greatly appreciated: we won't be seated until all have arrived. Note: Cafe Barada accepts cash only. Bring tens, fives, and ones for easy division of the check. Each person pays for what he or she orders. Expect to pay 25 percent for tax and tip in addition to the menu prices, which range from $10 to $15. See you at Cafe Barada! Marianne

Shear Madness

Shear Madness, Boston's hilarious whodunit and the longest running play in American theatre history, is a mixture of improvisation and up to the minute spontaneous humor, Shear Madness lets the audience solve the crime. Successful sleuthing leads to a delightfully different show everytime it's performed. Opening January 1980, the seven-time recipient of Best Comedy of The Year by The Boston Globe, Shear Madness is set in a Boston hairstyling salon and the landlady Isabel Czerny who lives above the shop is murdered. Every one of the characters has a reason to do her in. Performance schedule is Tuesday through Friday at 8PM, Saturday at 6:00PM and 9:00PM and Sunday at 3PM and 7:00PM at The Charles Playhouse, 74 Warrenton Street, in the heart of Boston's theatre district. Single tickets are $42. For tickets and information call the Shear Madness box office at 617-426-5225. Great discounts for groups of 15 or more. Visit www.shearmadness.com for more information.

Hegel: Philosophy of Right

We will continue with Hegel's Philosophy of Right. Many thanks to John Butler for the selection. The selected text for this first meeting is the Preface, the Introduction and Part One: Abstract Right. Please note that the text has numbered paragraphs. Under most of them are "Notes" which are lecture notes, and also in many cases there are sections called Additions, which may be incorporated within the text or at the end, depending upon what printing you have. All of this material is interesting and worth reading, but if you don't have time to read the Additions, then skip over them. The text: There is a public domain earlier translation: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://socserv2.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/hegel/right.pdf Oxford publishes: Outlines of the Philosophy of Rights (translator T.M.

Cabaret

Oberon, 2 Arrow St., 02138
Thu., Sep. 2, 2010, 7:30 p.m.

Take your seat at the Kit Kat Klub, the perfectly marvelous cabaret where singer Sally Bowles meets writer Cliff Bradshaw. As the two pursue a life of pleasure in Weimar Berlin, the world outside the Klub begins to splinter. Sally and Cliff are faced with a choice: abandon themselves to pleasures promised by the cabaret, or open their eyes and face the coming storm. Singer and songwriter Amanda Palmer of Dresden Doll fame stars as the Kit Kat Klub's magnetic Emcee, presiding over the debauched party where nothing is as it seems, with A.R.T. regulars Remo Airaldi, Thomas Derrah, and Jeremy Geidt.
