When type is taken away from its printed form and presented as a three- dimensional object, many historic conventions no longer apply. Byrom’s work plays with this middle ground. It is not, for example, “Helvetica” rendered in three-dimensional neon or steel etc., but instead, a reaction to the limitations and constraints of unexpected materials and processes that help shape (or often force) the outcome.

    Downtown Hotel Is Now Umass Lowell Inn & Conference Center

    UMass FALL 2009 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 MAGAZINE Downtown Hotel Is Now UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center A Message from the Chancellor In recent decades, campus “dorms” have evolved from cramped, humdrum quarters with little in the way of amenities or privacy into campus “residence halls” with a greater emphasis on comfort, choice and on-site social and academic support activities. This summer, UMass Lowell took a giant leap forward in the possibilities that campus housing can offer by purchasing the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Lowell and transforming it into the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, which this fall became home to 400 upper-class students. The purchase and renovation, as you will read in the cover story in this edition of the UMass Lowell Magazine, brings not only much needed housing space, but also provides the opportunity to develop exciting new programs such as living-learning communities. We have been careful to work with the community and ensure that rooms and conference space are available for the public use, which is important to the economic vitality of the City of Lowell. Bringing students downtown will not only help the local economy, it also will lead to valuable and innovative new academic and engagement partnerships with the region. Why would the campus take on such a significant project in the midst of challenging economic times? UMass Lowell continues to be a campus with enormous momentum. Our incoming class last year grew by 23 percent and overall enrollment increased 10 percent. The purchase of the 252-room downtown facility is a strategic investment that will allow us to reach our goal of having 50 percent of our students live on campus.

Business leaders in this increasingly connected world are being challenged like never before to find innovative ways to cut operational costs while simultaneously delivering higher ROI on investments that protect their employees, customers, infrastructure, networks, data and other critical assets. The purpose of this one-day event is to enable and facilitate the sharing of proven “best practices” for integrated security solution strategies and implementations. In a beautiful world-class conference center, this seminar will bring together approximately 50 C-level executives from global public and private sector organizations that depend on Unisys and/or EMC as their security technology partners. The ten speakers will be customers providing real-world case studies and industry thought leaders providing insights into the future of security technology. All in all, a highly-interactive educational forum that you will not want to miss. Integrated Security Solutions for Today and Tomorrow You are only as secure as your weakest link and getting security right has become increasingly complex. In this complex world of accelerating change getting it right and cutting costs has to be about taking a holistic approach that pulls together all the elements of physical, employee, customer and IT security into a tightly integrated and managed process.

First, the Friars faced off against the #13 USF Bulls, and then they traveled north on Route 1-95 to face the Boston University Terriers. The Friars battled the Bulls step for step, earning a 1 -1 tie after double overtime. In the matchup on Tuesday, the two teams traded opportunities, but unlike the Terriers, the Friars were unable to capitalize, resulting in a 1-0 Terriers win over the 27th-ranked PC squad. Full Story 1 Friars Ranked Second in the Nation Both cross country teams had strong showings at the Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa., this past weekend. The women's team came in first out of 44 teams. With a team score of 101, PC edged out the defending national champions, Villanova. The last time the PC team won this event, it went on to win the national title. Full Story PC Goes 1-1 The Friars tried to slam their way past New Hampshire last week as they opened their America East season with a 3-1 loss in four sets (18-25,25-12, 20-25, 20-25). They were led by middle blocker Shelagh Dolan '12, who racked up 12 kills and a .579 killing percentage. Lauren Fletcher '12 added 15 kills of her own, while Cassie Muzzonigro '13 recorded 17 digs.

    Conflicts of Interest in the Syria Debate

    Conflicts of interest in the Syria debate An analysis of the defense industry ties of experts and think tanks who commented on military intervention October 2013 About the Public Accountability Initiative The Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) is a non-profit, non-partisan research and educational organization focused on corporate and government accountability. In addition to publishing research on critical public accountability issues, PAI maintains LittleSis.org, an involuntary facebook of powerful people and tool for power research that was used to compile data for this report. PAI’s work is funded by a variety of non-profit sources (all funding sources are listed at http://public- accountability.org/about/funding). This report was authored by PAI research analysts Gin Armstrong and Whitney Yax, and PAI director Kevin Connor. Introduction During the public debate around the question of whether to attack Syria, Stephen Hadley, former national security adviser to George W. Bush, made a series of high-profile media appearances. Hadley argued strenuously for military intervention in appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg TV, and authored a Washington Post op-ed headlined "To stop Iran, Obama must enforce red lines with Assad." In each case, Hadley's audience was not informed that he serves as a director of Raytheon, the weapons manufacturer that makes the Tomahawk cruise missiles that were widely cited as a weapon of choice in a potential strike against Syria. Hadley earns $128,500 in annual cash compensation from the company and chairs its public affairs committee. He also owns 11,477 shares of Raytheon stock, which traded at all-time highs during the Syria debate ($77.65 on August 23, making Hadley’s share’s worth $891,189).
