MIT-CHIEF展示日 停車軟體受矚目

麻省理工學院中國創新與創業論壇(MIT-CHIEF)四月五日以“展示日（Demo Day）“，推出本年度第一場活動。解決停車問題的SmarKing和做電視觀眾調查的TVison Insight這兩隊，獲得最多評審讚賞。

創辦於2011年的MIT-CHIEF，今年由麻省理工學院學生潘軼超，已踏入業界工作的柴菁菁擔任共同主席。

四月五日這天的MIT-CHIEF 展示日，包括遠從費城飛來的展示日主任范陽，在哈佛大學念經濟博士的司儀杜洋，約共十人負責籌辦，有十隊參展，十一名投資者，企業家應邀出任評審。

參展的十個創業團隊，包括”聰明王（SmarKing）“，”洞察電視(TVsion Insight)“，”地緣社會（geosocial.io)”，Belleds科技，”彈跳影像（Bounce Imaging）“，“改變環境”，“凱薩能量（CZAR Power）“，Sneeky，”口說護理（Verbal Care）“，以及因Berry Logistics當日未能從新澤西州趕到，遞補時間，上場展示的“ProClass”。其中有至少六隊出自麻省理工學院。

MIT-CHIEF的前任主席陳航，今年從籌辦者變成參展者。他和同伴研發多彩音樂LED節能燈，讓LED燈泡在節能之外，還發揮裝飾環境，改變氣氛功用。

參展的十個隊伍中，軟硬件約各ㄧ半，好幾隊已發展到第二輪融資階段，或曾打進麻州挑戰（MassChallenge）淘汰賽，已和企業合作試用中，都很受人關注。

獲最多評審票的“聰明王（SmarKing)”，協助消費者順利找到停車位。該團隊的主要研發者桑文，目前也是MIT創業俱樂部會長。他透露，羅根機場正在使用“聰明王”的試用版。他們今年夏天將和波士頓市政府做區域性的試驗合作，估計潛在市場價值不下三十億美元。

獲得次多評審票的是”洞察電視(TVsion Insight)“。該產品旨在以新方式收集哪些觀眾，看什麼電視節目，有什麼反應等資訊，包括臉部表情，心跳頻率，眼球轉動次數與方向等等。

“凱薩能量“獲得的評審票第三多。出席說明的劉洋表示，這是麻省理工學院和清華大學合作的項目，要為電動交通工具提供高效能，低成本，多功能的充電器。

波士頓大學畢業生蕭仲蔚和夥伴合作的“口語護理（Verbal Care）“，借著在平板電腦裏安裝軟體，協助行動不便病患，更清楚的和醫護人員溝通，也協助醫療方做工作流程管理。該一軟體已獲麻省總醫院試用，目前在做進一步改善中。

擔任評審的有遠見創投（FarSight Venture）常務董事（Managing Director）馮立富，聯想之星合夥人劉勇，南河三（Procyon）資本合夥人劉睿頤，MITI資本常務董事祈培，Globespan的林江，美天堂（Fairhaven）資本的Wanli Zhu，夢科技創投常務董事Brian Sheng，科技之星（TechStars）波士頓主任Tuan Pham，MIT住校企業家Christina Chase，Boit.io項目經理Chirs Quintero，虎蛾（TigherMoth）執行長Mari Anne Snow等。

City offers trauma coping and counseling resources as anniversary of marathon attack approaches

City offers trauma coping and counseling resources as anniversary of marathon attack approaches

Free and confidential support available in-person, over the phone, and online

BOSTON – To help support the emotional wellness of residents and community members around the upcoming anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) has organized a set of free and confidential resources for the public.  Starting tonight, there will be a series of neighborhood workshops focused on general emergency preparedness and resilience, a community forum near Copley Square to address mental health concerns around the anniversary, and drop-in and over-the-phone counseling offered by trained clinicians.  Tips and additional resources to help adults and children cope with trauma are available online at www.BPHC.org.

BPHC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness will sponsor three community preparedness and resilience workshops through its “Get Ready, Be Safe, Stay Healthy” initiative.  The workshops offer a mix of resources that are both specific to the marathon anniversary and useful for dealing with other traumatic experiences.  The sessions will include information on coping, self-care, and recognizing when additional assistance might be needed.  The schedule of workshops is as follows:

Tuesday, April 8 at 7:00 p.m.

BCYF Mildred Avenue Community Center

5 Mildred Avenue, Mattapan

*In partnership with the Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition

Thursday, April 10 at 6:00 p.m.

BCYF Grove Hall Community Center

51 Geneva Avenue, Roxbury

*In partnership with Project RIGHT

Monday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center

650 Dudley Street, Dorchester

“We understand that the anniversary may trigger a lot of emotions for anyone impacted by last year’s attack, and we want to make sure people have access to the support that they may need,” said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, executive director of BPHC.  “We also recognize that certain communities are exposed to trauma and violence on an ongoing basis, and we hope that our workshops give people some tools to build resilience and care for loved ones.”

There will be a community forum this Friday, April 11 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. at the YWCA, located at 140 Clarendon Street.  The forum, which will be led by a licensed mental health clinician, is an opportunity for Copley area residents and community members to learn coping strategies for addressing trauma.  The first anniversary of a disaster is often the hardest for survivors because it can be difficult to know how to mark the event.  People may experience a range of emotions in such situations, and clinicians will be able to help attendees process those feelings.

For the next several weeks, BPHC will also provide drop-in counseling services each Tuesday evening in the McKim Courtyard Room of the main branch of the Boston Public Library in Copley Square.  No appointment is necessary for the free sessions, which will take place from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Tuesday April 8, 15, 22, and 29.

Starting next week, clinicians with the Mayor’s Health Line will offer phone-based counseling.  The Mayor’s Health Line is open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and clinicians will return any messages left afterhours on the following day.  People are encouraged to call 617-534-5050 to speak with a clinician.

On Marathon Monday (April 21), the hotline will be staffed with clinicians from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.  In-person drop-in counseling will be offered during the same time that day at Our Lady of Victories Church, located at 27 Isabella Street near Copley Square.

Last year, BPHC and partners from the American Red Cross, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Riverside Community Care, the Salvation Army, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Mental Health Team delivered over 600 hours of counseling to thousands of people in the days after the bombings.

天安門運動的歷史與記憶

天安門運動的歷史與記憶哈佛本科生組織會議紀念天安門運動二十五週年2014年4月26日，上午9點到下午6點Boylston Hall, 哈佛園今年是天安門運動25週年。在1989年春天，成千上萬的中國人走上街頭，呼籲政改, 但在6月4日那天，這場運動卻以人民解放軍向手無寸鐵的民眾開槍而告終。直到今天，天安門運動在中國大陸一直是被禁止的話題。我們是一群哈佛大學的本科生，來自世界各地，代表著不同的民族與文化。在1989年，我們都還沒有出生，是何曉清博士開的關於六四的課：“有目標的反叛: 天安門運動的歷史與記憶”，將我們聚集到一起。在這門課上，我們讀了有關天安門民主運動的原始材料，聽了當年學生參與者的自述，查閱了哈佛燕京圖書館的天安門檔案。我們試圖體味當局與民眾的不同心態，我們目睹了示威者的血衣，我們還通過表演，重現1989年6月3日夜晚的歷史場面，想像當年和我們一樣年青的那些示威者的真切感受。我們提出許多問題，在辯論與思考中學習。我們自身的經驗顯示：只要有信息自由和探索自由，我們年輕人確實可以對歷史的真相做出我們自己的判斷。在過去的24年中，在世界各地召開有關天安門的會議已有數百次，但能作為大學本科生獨立舉辦天安門運動25週年的會議，我們仍舊很激動。我們的會議將在4月26日舉行，因為那是歷史上很重要的一天：就是在1989年的4月26日，《人民日報》首次刊登社論，將學生的示威活動定為反黨反社會主義的、有組織、有預謀的動亂。在這次會議上將有由教授們主持的學生論文宣讀，還有我們這些1989年以後出生的年輕人同當年的學生參與者、倖存者、記者及學者的對話。對我們來說，天安門是歷史；對我們所請的講者來說，天安門是記憶。我們邀請的講演人包括當年華爾街日報、華盛頓郵報、以及新聞周刊駐北京的首席記者，被坦克壓斷雙腿的倖存者方政，被北京市民救護的香港學生李蘭菊，曾任趙紫陽總理講話稿撰寫人的吳國光教授，以及裴敏欣教授和Arthur Waldon教授等。會議還會有學生自編自演的節目，曾為劉曉波獲諾貝爾和平獎在2010年的頒獎儀式上演奏的哈佛校友、小提琴家Lynn Chang 也將參加我們的演出。我們希望我們的會議能夠讓大家聽到那些被沉默的聲音，讓六四記憶永存。會議學生組織者詳情請瀏覽我們的網頁： http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~tiananmen/

Who We Are

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Movement. In spring 1989, millions of Chinese took to the streets calling for political reform. The nationwide movement ended on June 4 with the People’s Liberation Army firing on unarmed civilians in the capital city of Beijing. Tiananmen remains a politically taboo topic in China today.

We are a group of students at Harvard College hailing from different regions of the world and embodying a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds and perspectives. We were not yet born in 1989 but were brought together by a seminar “Rebels with a Cause: Tiananmen in History and Memory” taught by Dr. Rowena He. During our time together, we studied the primary source materials of the Tiananmen Movement, heard personal accounts of student participants themselves, and explored the Tiananmen archives of the Harvard–Yenching Library. We imagined ourselves into the minds of the authorities and civilians, touched the protesters’ blood-stained clothes, and re-enacted the night of June 3rd, trying to put ourselves in the shoes of the protesters who then were around the same age as we are now. We debated and questioned everything along the way. Our learning experience shows that with free access to information and free inquiry, we as young people can indeed come to our own understanding of historical truth.

There have been hundreds of Tiananmen events in the past 24 years all over the world, but we are excited that we as undergraduate students are putting together a conference for the 25^th anniversary of the Tiananmen Movement. Our conference will be held on April 26, a historically important date in 1989 when the first official judgment of the movement was printed in the lead editorial of the Party’s newspaper, the People’s Daily, designating the student demonstrations as premeditated and organized turmoil with anti-Party and anti-socialist motives.

The conference will include student presentation panels with faculty members serving as chairs, and cross-generational conversations among students and journalists who covered 1989, student participants and survivors of 1989, and scholars who study the topic. For us college students who were not born in 1989, Tiananmen is history; for the invited speakers, Tiananmen is memory.

It is our hope that through this conference we may give a voice to those who were silenced and that this voice will help keep the memory of June 4 alive. Join us!

天安门运动的历史与记忆

哈佛本科生组织会议纪念天安门运动二十五周年

2014年4月26日，上午9点到下午6点

Boylston Hall, 哈佛园

今年是天安门运动25周年。在1989年春天，成千上万的中国人走上街头，呼吁政改, 但在6月4日那天，这场运动却以人民解放军向手无寸铁的民众开枪而告终。直到今天，天安门运动在中国大陆一直是被禁止的话题。

我们是一群哈佛大学的本科生，来自世界各地，代表着不同的民族与文化。在1989年，我们都还没有出生，是何晓清博士开的关于六四的课：“有目标的反叛: 天安门运动的历史与记忆”，将我们聚集到一起。在这门课上，我们读了有关天安门民主运动的原始材料，听了当年学生参与者的自述，查阅了哈佛燕京图书馆的天安门档案。我们试图体味当局与民众的不同心态，我们目睹了示威者的血衣，我们还通过表演，重现1989年6月3日夜晚的历史场面，想象当年和我们一样年青的那些示威者的真切感受。我们提出许多问题，在辩论与思考中学习。我们自身的经验显示：只要有信息自由和探索自由，我们年轻人确实可以对历史的真相做出我们自己的判断。

在过去的24年中，在世界各地召开有关天安门的会议已有数百次，但能作为大学本科生独立举办天安门运动25周年的会议，我们仍旧很激动。我们的会议将在4月26日举行，因为那是历史上很重要的一天：就是在1989年的4月26日，《人民日报》首次刊登社论，将学生的示威活动定为反党反社会主义的、有组织、有预谋的动乱。

在这次会议上将有由教授们主持的学生论文宣读，还有我们这些1989年以后出生的年轻人同当年的学生参与者、幸存者、记者及学者的对话。对我们来说，天安门是历史；对我们所请的讲者来说，天安门是记忆。

我们邀请的讲演人包括当年华尔街日报、华盛顿邮报、以及新闻周刊驻北京的首席记者，被坦克压断双腿的幸存者方政，被北京市民救护的香港学生李兰菊，曾任赵紫阳总理讲话稿撰写人的吴国光教授，以及裴敏欣教授和Arthur Waldon教授等。

会议还会有学生自编自演的节目，曾为刘晓波获诺贝尔和平奖在2010年的颁奖仪式上演奏的哈佛校友、小提琴家Lynn Chang 也将参加我们的演出。

我们希望我们的会议能够让大家听到那些被沉默的声音，让六四记忆永存。

STATE SENATOR JOAN LOVELY AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE JOHN KEENAN ENDORSE GROSSMAN FOR GOVERNOR

STATE SENATOR JOAN LOVELY AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE JOHN KEENAN ENDORSE GROSSMAN FOR GOVERNOR

Both Cite Grossman’s Record of Leadership Creating Jobs and His Progressive Vision for the State

SALEM, MA – State Senator Joan Lovely and State Representative John Keenan officially endorsed Treasurer Steve Grossman’s campaign for governor today, citing his record of leadership creating jobs and his progressive vision for the state.

"Steve has a proven track record of success creating jobs in every region of the state," said Lovely. "As governor he will use his experience to boost the economy in our region and across the Commonwealth. I am proud to support him."

"When it comes to economic opportunity and job creation, the residents of Salem will find no one more qualified than Steve Grossman," said Keenan. "He has the vision and experience we need to grow this economy in every part of the state."

“I’m proud to have Joan and John’s support in my race for governor,” said Grossman. “We share a vision for the North Shore and the entire Commonwealth that promises proven leadership to leave no one behind.”

Senator Lovely was sworn into her first term in the Massachusetts Senate in 2013 and serves as Chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse. She represents the Second Essex District, comprised of Beverly, Danvers, Peabody, Salem, and Topsfield.

Representative Keenan has been Salem’s state representative since 2005. He is Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy.

Steve Grossman took office as state treasurer in 2011 after a long career as a small businessman, philanthropist, and progressive political activist. He is running for governor because he believes the people of Massachusetts want proven leadership that leaves no one and no region behind.

Immutep and Eddingpharm start production of ImmuFact(R) IMP321 at WuXi AppTec in China

Immutep and Eddingpharm start production of ImmuFact(R) IMP321 at WuXi AppTec in China
WuXi AppTec will manufacture ImmuFact(R) IMP321 to US, European and Chinese GMP standards for Immutep and Eddingpharm

Orsay, France and Shanghai, China, 8 April 2014 – Immutep S.A., the biopharmaceutical company specializing in immuno-oncology, and Eddingpharm have started production of Immutep’s ImmuFact(R) IMP321 (a LAG-3Ig fusion protein) at WuXi AppTec facilities in China. The product is being produced to European, U.S. and Chinese GMP standards.

WuXi AppTec has initiated process development for Immutep’s lead product using Immutep's newly developed proprietary cell line. Immutep is additionally providing full technical support for the development of the production. Immutep and Eddingpharm will develop the product in combination with first-line chemotherapy in metastatic cancer.

Like the checkpoint inhibitors that remove the brake on the CD8 T cells and greatly extend survival in metastatic cancer, antigen presenting cell (APC) activators also increase the T cell response against tumors. ImmuFact(R) IMP321 (a first-in-class APC activator) can be used in combination with first-line chemotherapy or in combination with checkpoint inhibitors.

The mechanism of action of Immutep’s synergistic combination of chemotherapy and active immunotherapy is unique. Chemotherapy provides a burst of tumor cell debris, and the surrounding APCs take up the tumor antigens. ImmuFact(R) IMP321 activates these APC’s, resulting in a long-lasting CD8 T cell response against the tumor.

"We have been very impressed by WuXi's know how and motivation,” said Dr. Frederic Triebel, Scientific and Medical Director of Immutep. “This deal is important for Immutep to continue the development of APC activators in the expanding field of immuno-oncology, in Europe, the USA and Japan. We are in partnering discussions at present.”

“Eddingpharm is excited to be entering the new field of immuno-oncology with Immutep. We believe that immuno-oncology will revolutionize cancer treatment," said Xin Ni, Chairman and CEO of Eddingpharm. "We are working closely with Immutep to develop IMP321.”

“Manufacturing IMP321, a first-in-class biologics in China, showcases WuXi’s solid capability as the gateway for developing novel biologics in China with global standards,” said Dr. Ge Li, Chairman and CEO of WuXi AppTec. “Once manufacturing is complete, we will achieve the first industry milestone of using the same CMC package, developed at WuXi, for global registration in US, Europe and China.”

華夏文協表揚陳毓璇，陳毓禮，葛帝生（Gary Christenson），劉小梅

華夏文化協會五日晚在喜臨門酒店舉行第九屆籌款晚宴，表揚陳毓璇，陳毓禮，葛帝生（Gary Christenson），劉小梅等四名在社區服務，文化藝術，多元包容上卓有貢獻者。

這場籌款晚會和往年相比，人氣格外熱絡，表演更為精彩，得獎者個個有來頭，連司儀都別開生面，請中英文流利的摩頓市市長助理于豔，來和WBZ電台節目主持人Jordan Rich，曾任運動慈善項目顧問的律師Van Paul Le搭配。

四名獲獎者中，獲藝術及文化服務獎的劉小梅和華夏文化協會關係最密切，最長。2001年她和家人遷居摩頓市。華夏文化協會也在這些年間從麻州郊區搬進摩頓市。劇校畢業，曾是專業演員的劉小梅抱著發揮所長，服務社區心情，開始到華夏文協當義工。2009年起，她更進一步的為華夏文協組織出華夏文協藝術團，邀李虹做舞蹈老師，關瑞芳做副團長，匯聚廿多人練舞，健身，交誼，還常應邀赴外演出，既服務社區，又宣揚了中華文化藝術，也把華夏文協名聲，帶到更多地方。

當晚獲終身社區服務獎的是大波士頓地區華人幾乎無人不知的陳氏兄弟，陳毓璇，陳毓禮兩人。

上個月陳毓禮獲塔芙茨醫療中心頒給終身成就獎時，波士頓市前任市長笑稱進了波士頓華埠，陳毓禮才是市長。

在大波士頓居住時間夠長的華人卻大都知道，在1960，1970年代的波士頓華埠，陳毓禮的哥哥陳毓璇不但被稱為華埠市長，更具一言九鼎威力。由於他備受社區人士敬重，當年的許多社區紛爭，只要他出面說句話，就迎刃而解。

陳氏兄弟的姊姊，已高齡九十的大姊阮陳金鳳，住在新罕布夏州的四姊阮陳鳳娥，這晚都與有榮焉出席弟弟得獎的盛會。

華夏文化協會在節目冊中指陳毓璇不但是成功的企業家，曾應大波士頓商會之邀出任該會董事，做過兩任紐英崙中華公所主席，為華埠社區爭取到SCM大樓，以及塔芙茨大學獎學金，還和弟弟陳毓禮等人一起，組織過許多改善華埠社區生活條件的活動，遊說州政府，聯邦政府撥給經費，建造可負擔住宅，辦理耆英服務，英語班等社會服務。

 華夏文協指陳毓禮一生致力於打造一個公平，充滿機會，安全，對彼此負起責任的社區，1960年代起，就推動包括選民登記等的許多項目，以改善華裔美人社區經濟。從1990年代後期起，他和華埠社區僑團之間的互動更多，還組成了紐英崙中華總會。

熟悉陳毓禮的人也知道，近年他最關心的其中一件大事，是辦好廣教學校。

前述三名獲獎人，除獲華夏文協頒給獎項外，還都獲得麻州州長派區克（Deval Patrick)，聯邦眾議員克拉克（Katherine Clark），摩頓市市長葛帝生的表揚狀。

摩頓市第33位市長葛帝生（Gary Christenson）當晚實至名歸的獲頒“多元及包容獎（Diversity & Inclusion）”。他在2012年就任為摩頓市市長以前，曾任摩頓市市議員十餘年，和亞裔社區一直互動良好，今年還參加了不下十餘場華埠春宴，每場都用廣東話發言，搏得無數掌聲。這晚他的中文開場白，也獲得台下的”真棒（awesome）“評語。他表示，只有全民參與，社區才會變得更好，市政府的責任就是幫助市民獲得所需服務。摩頓市最特別處之一是方圓五哩有如國際城市。

葛帝生也獲得麻州州長派區克（Deval Patrick)，聯邦眾議員克拉克（Katherine Clark）的表揚狀。

            華夏文協這晚的籌款晚會，安排的表演節目包括華夏文協藝術團的舞蹈，都出身於中央音樂學院的張婉哲，袁泉，張畢樂等人唱奏“玫瑰三願”，“土耳其進行曲”。得過音樂比賽冠軍的周明吹奏笛子。華林派余翠梅師傅還和丈夫陳錦榮，兒子陳成熹聯手示範功夫。

            當晚的無聲拍賣品有畫軸，木雕，音樂會門票等54項，現場拍賣的有義大利渡假屋一週，紅襪隊球賽門票兩張等六項。

        華夏文化協會是個以促進中美文化交流為主要宗旨的非牟利慈善機構，從王啟華創辦，洪梅接手迄今已有數十年歷史，目前有董事九人，包括香港樓東主李伯豪，亞美商務聯繫李豐等，顧問五人，經辦的活動，既有青少年的課餘班，週六班，夏令營，成人的英語班，書法班，國語班，武當太極班，還辦有東西相遇的文化對話，青年領導力輔導，以及認識鄰居等成人活動。最近經該會董事李豐穿針引線，與亞美商務聯繫（AsisaUS Business Connection）公司合作，辦理包括青少年慈善領袖培訓，高階企業主管商管培訓班等中美交流項目。
