Sometimes she makes some fantastic choices, like the time she wore her husband’s Gap shirt with a Vera Wang skirt to the Oscars, or the time she wore a beautiful gold sheath to an AmFar benefit. This makes the crazy pants or the black dress she wore that had 3-D butterflies sewn onto it all the more shocking. Because she is just so extreme! Sometimes you think she has a deep almost transcendent understanding of fashion and then she dresses like...
...their 20s and 40s. Since 1990, thanks to work done in Hafler's lab, however, they've known that MS sufferers have hyperactive T cells - cells that cruise the body looking for bacteria, viruses and other pathogens - a condition that triggers an inflammatory response and destroys the protective myelin sheath around nerve cells in the central nervous system, which connects the brain and body. This can lead to gradual nerve damage and weakening of the muscles in the arms as legs, as well as problems with vision...

Brettman ’07 was one of many Harvard students to have suffered embarrassment and injury as a result of the sidewalks. Brettman said that she slipped...
...boards is a ubiquitous form of expression. So how can you stand out from the crowd? Try getting illuminated. Philips Research's Lumalive combines red, green and blue LED pixels to form an array of colors beneath any fabric's surface. The LEDs are housed in a flat plastic sheath, which is connected to a control driver containing the battery and a playlist of preprogrammed images. SMS texts can be sent to a GSM receiver enabling a variety of new messages. (The Lumalive parts are easily removed for laundering.) London-based industrial designer Ron Arad describes Lumalive as "great...
