One complaint becoming more prevalent amongst musicians today - or maybe it's just an awed observation - is that there is literally no combination of genres or styles that hasn't been explored. Bagpipes and glam-metal? Check. Sousa and Delta blues? Check. Sun Ra and bubblegum? That, too.
In that spirit, consider multi-saxophonist Steve Marien - a veteran of free jazz, R&B, swing, show bands, oldies, fusion musical theater, Top 40 and gospel acts. If Slayer used saxes, he'd probably have played with them, too.
For Friday's engagement at the Norwich Arts Center, the latest in the facility's First Friday series, the Steve Marien Ensemble, featuring his vocalist/wife, Lisa Marien, will focus on jazz standards and classics. Expect a lively, affectionate performance.
The Steve Marien Ensemble, 8 p.m. Friday, Norwich Arts Center, 60-64 Broadway, Norwich; $20; (860) 887-2789, norwicharts.org.

Fellow of the Royal Society
Sir Richard Timothy "Tim" Hunt, FRS (born 19 February 1943 in Neston, Cheshire) is an English biochemist.
Tim Hunt was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Paul Nurse and Leland H. Hartwell for their discoveries of protein molecules that control the division (duplication) of cells.[2]
When cells with nuclei divide, they divide in phases called G1 (growth), S (synthesis), G2 (growth), and M (mitosis). Nurse, Hartwell and Hunt together discovered two proteins, cyclin and CDK (cyclin dependent kinase), that control the transition from one stage to another.
Working in sea urchin eggs, Hunt discovered cyclins, proteins that bind to cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) proteins and regulate their activity. Cyclins and CDKs turn other cell cycle proteins on and off by adding or removing phosphate groups.[2]
Early life[edit]
Hunt was born on 19 February 1943 in Neston, Cheshire to Richard William Hunt, a lecturer in palaeography in Liverpool, and Kit Rowland, daughter of a timber merchant.[3] After the death of both his parents Hunt found his father had worked at Bush House, most likely in intelligence, although it is not known what he actually did.[citation needed] In 1945 Richard became Keeper of the Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, and the family relocated to Oxford. At the age of eight Tim was accepted into the Dragon School, where he first developed an interest in biology thanks to his German teacher, Gerd Sommerhoff. When he was fourteen he moved to Magdalen College School, Oxford, where the science prizes now bear his name, becoming even more interested in science and studying subjects such as chemistry and zoology.
Higher education and career[edit]
In 1961 he was accepted into Clare College, Cambridge to study Natural Sciences, graduating in 1964 and immediately beginning work in the university Department of Biochemistry under Asher Korner, working with scientists such as Louis Reichardt and Tony Hunter. A 1965 talk by Vernon Ingram interested him in haemoglobin synthesis, and at a conference in 1966 in Greece on the subject he persuaded Irving London to allow him to work in his laboratory in New York, staying from July to October 1966.[3] He finished his PhD in 1968[4] and again returned to New York to work with London, where he collaborated with Nechama and Edward Kosower and Ellie Ehrenfeld. While there they discovered that tiny amounts of glutathione inhibited protein synthesis in reticulocytes and that tiny amounts of RNA killed the synthesis altogether. After returning to Cambridge he again began work with Hunter and Richard Jackson, who had discovered the RNA strand used to start haemoglobin synthesis. After 3–4 years the team discovered at least two other chemicals acting as inhibitors.
While doing summer work in 1982 at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, using the sea urchin (Arbacia punctulata) egg as his model organism, he discovered the cyclin molecule. Hunt found that cyclins begin to be synthesised after the eggs are fertilized and increase in levels during interphase, until they drop very quickly in the middle of mitosis in each cell division. He also found that cyclins are present in vertebrate cells where they also regulate the cell cycle. He and others subsequently showed that the cyclins bind and activate a family of protein kinases, now called the cyclin-dependent kinases, one of which had been identified as a crucial cell cycle regulator by Paul Nurse.
In 1990, he began work at Imperial Cancer Research Fund, now known as the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute in the United Kingdom.[5] He became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1991 and a foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1999. In 2001 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Leland Hartwell and Sir Paul Nurse for their discoveries regarding cell cycle regulation by cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinases.[6] In 2006 he was awarded the Royal Medal for 'discovering a key aspect of cell cycle control, the protein cyclin which is a component of cyclin dependent kinases, demonstrating his ability to grasp the significance of the result outside his immediate sphere of interest'.[7] He was knighted by the Queen in the same year.
He is a member of the Advisory Council for the Campaign for Science and Engineering.[8] He also sits on the Selection Committee for Life Science and Medicine which chooses winners of the Shaw Prize.

Health.com takes a look at which careers have the highest rates of depression to rank the 10 most depressing jobs in the U.S.
10. Salespeople
Many salespeople work on commission and may have to spend time away from home, family and friends because of travel. If they work independently, benefits may be limited.
9. Financial Advisers/Accountants
Most people don't like dealing with their own retirement savings. So can you imagine handling thousands or millions of dollars for others?
8. Maintenance Workers
Maintenance workers are called only when something goes wrong and must work odd hours, seasonal or varied schedules and frequent night shifts.
7. Administrative Support Staff
People in this field are taking orders from all directions, but are also at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of control. Their days can be very unpredictable.
6. Teachers
The demands on teachers seem to be constantly growing. Many work after school and then take work home and, in many areas, they must do a lot with a little.
5. Artists/Entertainers/Writers
These jobs can bring irregular paychecks, uncertain hours and isolation. Creative people may also have higher rates of mood disorders.
4. Health-Care Workers
Health-care workers can have long, irregular hours and days in which other people's lives are literally in their hands.
3. Social Workers
Dealing with abused children or families on the brink of every imaginable crisis -- combined with bureaucratic red tape -- can make for a demanding, stressful job that's often 24-7.
2. Food Service Staff
Wait staff often get low pay and can have exhausting jobs with numerous people telling them what to do each day.
1. Nursing Home/Child Care Workers
A typical day can include feeding, bathing,and caring for others who are often incapable of expressing gratitude or appreciation because they are too ill or too young.

A two-year investigation into an illegal DVD operation in Kronenwetter has come to an end.
The Kronenwetter Police Chief says they first learned of the operation in 2010. He says they gathered enough evidence and raided a house.
They say they found about 14-thousand pirated copies of DVDs.
Kim Maciaz pleaded no contest to the charge as part of a plea deal.
"We close it out and we can dispose of all this equipment or all of this property, as you might assume it took up a lot of space in our property room so we're kind of glad to get it done, and anything like that the MPPA or this firm locally here in Wisconsin is more than happy to pick it up and destroy it for us," said Dan Joling, Kronenwetter Police Chief.
An attorney for Maciaz says she received a suspended sentenced of six months in jail and three years probation.

ONEONTA — In its final pair of tune-up meets before the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Volleyball Championship Tournament begins, the Plattsburgh State volleyball team took down Ithaca College 3-1 before falling to host institution Oneonta State 3-1 on the final day of the Dig Pink Invitational.
Rosi Cummings was named to her fourth All-Tournament Team of the season after helping her squad to a 3-1 record at the invitational.
Although the Cardinals emerged victorious, Ithaca was the team that came out ready to play at the opening serve. The Bombers began the first set with a 4-1 run and upped their lead to 7-3 before Plattsburgh State settled into its offense.
A 5-0 scoring streak headlined by a pair of kills from sophomore Jeanette Braun and culminating with the first of four service aces by Kristen Marchisotto gave the designated home squad their first lead of the match.
After the teams exchanged leads, Maggie Schrantz and Laura Diehl teamed up and lead the Cardinals on another 5-0 spurt. Trailing 11-10, each member of the aforementioned duo hammered down a pair of kills before joining forces for a block to give their squad the lead for the remainder of the set.
Ithaca managed to close to within two points, 17-15, but a trio of kills from Braun highlighted an 8-1 run by Plattsburgh State to finish the set and give the Cardinals a 1-0 advantage in the match. During the set, the Cardinals amassed an attack percentage of .378 while allowing the Bombers to hit just .079 as a team.
During the second frame, both teams had little trouble building up a lead but neither was very skilled at keeping it. Down 22-21, the Cardinals used terminations from Schrantz and Cummings coupled with an Ithaca attack error to put them one point away from a 2-0 lead.
The Bombers, though, had other ideas and fought off two set points by the Cardinals to push the frame to extra points. An attack error by Cummings and a solo block by Ithaca's Shaelynn Schmidt put the finishing touches on an Ithaca victory in the second frame and knotted the bout at one set each.

When is college debt too much?

Student loan debt is also not forgivable in bankruptcy. That makes for another perverse incentive for Wall St. to pour money into loans that possibly should never be given in the first place. And to make it worse, they get helped by some universities. Higher education is the next bubble. It's sad that young people are being played and end up starting out their careers already in a lot of debt.

"Education Finance Partners, the private student loan company that originated the largest portion of Freddy's student debts, reached a $2.5 million settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General's Office in 2007 to settle charges that it had paid colleges across the country to steer students toward its high-interest loans. And Berklee College of Music, Freddy's alma mater, was one of the schools singled out in that investigation for accepting the improper payments."

If we started today, California would have to spend 35 million dollars a day (!) until September of 2017 in order to meet commitments for the federal funding of 3.3 billion dollars for high speed rail.
How much college education could you get for 35 million dollars a day?
What would you rather have, a financially sound generation of college graduates or a fast train to no where?

Safety with teeth whitening products and proceduresTuesday, May 22nd, 2012
A good number of people have always questioned whether the teeth whitening products are as good as they are made out to be. As a matter of fact there are so many people who are still in doubt, while some are in denial about using these products. According to www.megateethwhitening.co.uk one thing that you should know however is this procedure is one of the safest in the world so far. As a matter of fact it is so safe that even young children are able to use them. In as much as the procedure is regarded a medical one, there are instances where you do not even have to go to the dentist to have it done. Case in point, there are so many mouthwash and toothpaste brands that have an element that whitens the teeth after a while. Of course you will have to use these products over and over, but with time and patience they eventually end up giving you white teeth than you had before. The good thing about these kinds of products is that you can buy them at the mall, the retail stores around you and even the convenience stores close to wherever you are going. These can be used daily, in the morning when you wake up and in the evening before you go to sleep.

text: The Braves finally forced a pitching change in the series by the opposition, as Omar Infante's two out single drove manage Bruce Bochy to the mound. Coming in was left side-armer Javier Lopez, who continued Jason Heyward's pain, getting him looking for the strike out after seven pitches. The Braves are running out of time in the game and season, and Heyward's struggles are really depressing to watch. He's much better than this, folks.

2.63/5 rDev +18.5%
Presentation: Shady-looking 12oz can
Appearance: Medium gold beer with a surprisingly dense ivory head from a vigorous pour, fades pretty quickly
Smell: Sweet, ultra sugary graininess, with a touch of metal
Taste: Sweet, with just a hint of grain; ultra-simple
Mouthfeel: Light-medium bodied
Drinkability: So-so
Conclusion: It's a drinkable malt-liquor when it's $.75 at happy hour and you've never tried it before....that's about it.

2.75/5 rDev +23.9%
Presentation: 24 oz can, they call it a "TWO FOUR" on the label, no freshness date to be found anywhere.
Appearance: Pale golden yellow colour, two fingered head forms from a spritzy big bubbled carbonation. Very thin sprinkled white lace is left, something is better than nothing right?
Smell: Both a sweetness from the malt and cereal grain as well as the alcohol. Smells faint of trifle, lady fingers in alcohol.
Taste: Stiff medium body with an increasing smoothness as the carbonation unleashes. Slightly creamy mouth feel shows that there is a decent amount of malt in this brew. As soon as the flavours rush in sweet warming alcohol fumes from the mouth and nose. Grain and sweetness are the forefront, touch of corn grit flavour and a cracker like maltiness come from that. Hops are barley in the flavour though there is a sharpness from them that essentially is the bitterness which is coupled with the warming alcohol and graininess. A biting grain and warming alcohol warp things up in the end.
Notes: Not a bad brew when wanting to quickly consume for a buzz. One of the most known malt liquors on the market, this is typically consumed out of the can or more popularly out of the 40 oz bottle.
A friend of mine always brings over a couple "FOUR Os" of this stuff as a gag ... funny thing is that we end up polishing the stuff off everytime.

How to drink Colt 45.
Think of Billy Dee Williams. Get that 40 oz ice cold. Tell yourself its kitsch value or something.
Anyways, looks like yellow swill. Smells like 54 day old beer. Surprisingly, the taste isn't "horrible". I mean, you can drink this if you had to, there is worse stuff. Its pretty much all corn and rubbing alcohol. Don't let it get warm, or it gets even worse.

1.33/5 rDev -40.1%
Appearance: Light clear pale golden hue with a bright white eggshell colored head leaves nice even lacing...somehow it's doesn't look too unappetizing. Aroma: Cereal grains light toasted pale malts with heavy corn and rice providing some evident sweetness influences touch of alcohol. Taste: Well...this is where it gets harsh...this one's definitely for my homies. Corn husk offness slightly metallic adjunct ridden in the worst way no hop flavor brings out just a bit of my gag reflex is it worth the 24 oz 99 cent offering to drink this beer. Mouthfeel: Is light bodied... a bit thicker than the typical mass produced lager a bit of residual sugars. Drinkability: Well no don't drink alot of this or a little in multiple sittings not good beer even for a malt liquor.

let me start out this review by saying what needs to be said about colt 45 first - this is not a world class beer and we all know it, BUTTT it is a decent beer and for the price is better than miller/bud/coors light in my opinion - i think this beer gets so much negative reviews just because of the stigma behind "malt liquor" and the joke that only bums drink it - hell i know a lot of college students who drink it too - people are tired of the same old keystone/bud every weekend.
appearance - very average, looks the same every time that same yellow every time, never poured into a glass so no need to worry about reviewing the head or lacing lol
smell - average as well, very faint smell of alcohol
taste - good - not a complex taste by any means, nothing to savor or look for, no notes or hints to really pick out - this beer was made for you and your broke friends to enjoy on a TIGHT (im talkin TIGHT) budget.
mouthfeel/drinkability - pretty average but not bad at all has the right amount of carbonation so it goes down smooth - one of the easier beers to drink at 6% alcohol, much easier to drink than its HIGH GRAVITY counterpart which tastes nothing like beer
overall i give this beer a C based on every beer i have tried so far, based on me being a cheap bastard though i'd give it a B - not much you can find better for the price.

A Lost Day
I had planned to put the first coat of red on "ole Maggie". I had purchased a gallon of paint, naptha, and hardener, now where did I put my new HVLP paint gun? After looking for over an hour I finally found it right where I put it so I wouldn't lose it. I had purchased it last July in Edison, NJ at a woodworking store. When I started to assemble it I found it was missing 2 parts. I called the customer service number and got a recording, stating " the Company was no longer in business and no parts were available". After a winter of cleaning, sandblasting, sanding and primeing I am ready to start re-assembling the old gal. The worst thing is the weather was 75 degrees with little or no wind and a whole day to work on her. We are due some rain this weekend. It isn't often I get all these factors together. Maybe one day next week.
I will work on paint prep today. The more parts I have ready the better off I will be. The cub is in pieces and I want to put the first coat on before I start to put her back together.
Carl I do a lot of Craft Shows in the Baltimore area. Maybe we can meet sometime. Mike

Gathering a St. Paul's Church on King Street in Rye Brook this morning, local clergy met with an American Red Cross representative to hand over a $1,000 donation from funds raised at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration in Port Chester.
The celebration took place at All Souls Chuch in Port Chester and the fundraiser was designed to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. The donation was presented to Grace Young of the Red Cross by Pastor Jim O'Hanlon of St. Paul's, the Rev. Hilario Albert of St. Peter's, Bishop Robert Girtman of the Church of the Living God and the Rev. Gerald Washington of Bethesda Baptist Church.
Rev. Washington said he and the other clergy members wanted to make sure that "every penny" of the donations went toward helping those hit hardest by the hurricane.

Damage from Hurricane Isaac forced the closure of Fort Macomb, which is about 50 miles southeast of New Orleans, last August, but after Oakland County teens cleared debris last week the historic site could reopen this spring.
Royal Oak High School students continued their tradition of spending spring break helping out a storm-battered part of the country. This time they did everything from delicately scraping mud off the 1822 landmark to swinging sledgehammers at houses that needed to be demolished.
The ROHS Interact Club had help this year from students at Farmington and Southfield Lathrup high schools, who are learning how to set up alternative spring break programs at their schools.
"It was a warm up for them and the biggest trip we've done," said Steve Chisnell, an ROHS English teacher and the Interact adviser.
Ninety-seven students and their chaperones spent $575 each to travel in two buses and work during their week off school. They slept nights at a Louisiana state campground and labored days at the fortress and six residential sites.
"There's much to be done," Chisnell said. "There are still buildings that haven't been touched since Hurricane Katrina eight years ago. Less known is what Hurricane Isaac did. It was only a category 1, but it stayed two to three days and hovered over the area. The people we met in Plaquemines Parish said it was the worst in 35 years for flooding and loss of property."
Hurricane Isaac hit the coastal parish Aug. 29, 2012 - seven years to the day Hurricane Katrina and levee failures devastated the area. Isaac dumped more than a foot of rain in some spots and brought sustained winds of 75 mph and violent 12-foot storm surges. About 115 people had to be rescued from the attics of flooded homes.
Nearly 59,000 home were damaged across southeast Louisiana. Many stand in moldy, rotting condition because the owners have no insurance to rebuild or money to raze them.
The students, who got their assignments from the National Relief Network, either stripped dwellings down to the wood frames for rebuilding or became human bulldozers. Teens age 14-18 slung ropes over rickety frames and lined up 30 deep to pull down skeletons of the structures.
"It was overwhelming to see how many houses we had to do in such a short time," ROHS freshman Georgie Abbey, 14, said. "It tested my limits, not only using pry bars and sledgehammers but carrying everything to piles for reuse and garbage."
Georgie asked her family for money instead of gifts at Christmas so she could go on the alternative spring break. She was assigned to the same crew as freshman Ella Thibault, 14.
"One man we met wants to rebuild," Ella said. "He told us it was his wife's grandparents' house. He drove around while we worked to take the layers off. You could see it bothered him and he was sad to see it go."
A few of the homeowners were staying with relatives or in trailers, but other dwellings seemed to be abandoned, Chisnell said, adding many people feel forgotten, too.
"When Hurricane Isaac missed New Orleans the media stopped talking about it even though a lot of other towns were hit," he said. "There was a lot of human suffering and they still need help."
The students worked for senior citizens who never could have done the heavy lifting themselves and a couple who lost their business and their house and a trailer.
"Their business literally floated away," Chisnell said. "No income and loss of property results in little means to regroup."
The students returned Saturday to ROHS with a sense of accomplishment after their work at Fort Macomb, which was built along with the nearby Fort Pike to defend New Orleans. Originally called Fort Wood, it was renamed after Major General Alexander Macomb in 1851.
Macomb won acclaim during the War of 1812 as a brigadier general who outfoxed a British force of 10,500 with only 1,500 troops. In the weeks leading up to the Battle of Plattsburgh on September 11, 1814, Macomb and his men moved trees and created fake roads that lead the British into dead-end traps. They became sitting targets for the waiting Americans.
Fort Macomb was never the site of a battle. Union troops took it over after the capture of New Orleans, but not before Confederate soldiers destroyed the guns and burned the wooden structures.
Although the brick structures have been decaying over the decades, a portion of its former moat is used as a marina and people like to picnic at the site.
After Hurricane Isaac, some parts of Fort Macomb were covered in eight inches of mud. Oakland County students shoveled it up and hauled it away in wheel barrows. They also pulled weeds that had overtaken the grounds.
"The public wanted it use it again and now they are within reach to open in the spring," Chisnell said. "We removed all the overgrowth. We also excavated a brick staircase that was looking more like an earthen ramp. This helped the historians learn more about the brick restoration needed."
A teacher for more than 25 years, Chisnell said no classroom experiences matches what students learn on an alternative spring break.
"There's a huge difference between teaching literature and inspirational messages and what these students can say they did to be effective in the world," he said. "Students don't see their school world and real world as being the same but it was here. This is the essence of volunteerism: donating what we have - our time and muscle - to those who don't have it."

success, failure' - be spontaneous. (Josh Goldberg)

I am petitioning Wembley Stadium and The Millennium Stadium to consider giving up a date in their calendar to put on a concert for missing Madeline McCann. There are obvious reasons why a concert for Madeline should go ahead, and as well as raising money and awareness for the Madeline McCann appeal, funds could also be raised for the NSPCC, Childline, Save The Children and maybe even other charities like Cancer Research, Help The Aged, Shelter or donations could be asked for to help people hit by the recent floods. If a concert was given the 'ok', I am sure that it would be well attended and be very successful. Obviously I hope that Madeline is found tomorrow, but this is an idea and I believe a very good one.
