State approves legislation allowing mixed martial arts, creates new athletic commission
Legislation passed in Nashville last week that could clear the way for mixed martial arts leagues such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship to hold events in Memphis as early as 2009.
The legislation will create an independent athletic commission to oversee boxing and mixed martial arts. Currently, the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance legislates boxing.
"A study committee looked at it and what we heard from promoters and competitors is they don't come to Tennessee because there isn't a degree of professionalism in the way boxing is regulated," says state Sen. Doug Jackson, D-Dickson, a member of the subcommittee exploring the legalization of MMA.
"We didn't have professionals in the sport serving and the bureaucracy was a deterrent. We hope to have a commission with rules that are friendly to the sports."
Jackson says the state has been missing out on potential revenue under the old system. He says the new commission will be knowledgeable and serve as ambassadors for the state in the boxing and MMA communities.
Steve Zito, vice president of operations and entertainment for the Memphis Grizzlies, says the Grizzlies have already spoken to UFC officials and other promoters wanting to bring events to the FedExForum in Memphis.
Zito says the Grizzlies took the lead in working toward getting the legislation passed because of the popularity of MMA events. Both FedExForum and Memphis stand to benefit.
"Our business is to run and operate this building, and it is our job to find what makes good business sense and bring it here," Zito says. "We legally couldn't bring this here and it is the hottest sport there is. There were other initiatives, but those bills weren't going to pass, so we got our team together, talked and decided to go for it. We felt that if we didn't do it, there was no way anyone else would do it."
Melissa Bast, a government relations expert who lobbied the Legislature, says the sport of boxing wasn't profitable for the state because of the way it was regulated. Now that the legislation has been passed, she says, the state will have the ability to feel the economic benefits that were going to surrounding states like Mississippi and Arkansas.
Jackson says the legislation legitimizes mixed martial arts for people who considered the sport too violent or dangerous. It will also stop unregulated events from being held.
"There's a desire to see the sport flourish in Tennessee, and many people in Tennessee want to have the opportunity to attend events," Jackson says. "The competitors in Tennessee love to compete, so this is an opportunity for them to compete on a professional level.
House Bill 2633/Senate Bill 3836
Authorization to legalize and regulate mixed martial arts events in Tennessee by creating a state athletic commission
House vote: 95-2 in favor
Senate vote: 30-0 in favor

4 Tips To Make The Most Of An 'Aha' Moment
4 Tips To Make The Most Of An 'Aha' Moment
4 Tips To Make The Most Of An 'Aha' Moment
We've all had aha moments ... that sudden thrill of something you hadn't understood before, the glimpse of a possibility, that moment when you finally "get it." Merriam-Webster recently added the term to its famous dictionary, and defines it as: a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension. 5 Ways To Be Happier In A Relationship
Such a moment is often exciting or uplifting, as your brain is highly stimulated by finding useful meaning in a new discovery, and some aha moments can be very valuable if you know what to do with them.
The thrill factor probably had something to do with survival in our evolutionary past. A caveman suddenly realizes that wolves are afraid of fire. Wow, this could be big! But the lasting value of this realization depends on what he does with it. If he keeps the fire going, he stays alive. If he forgets about it, he's wolf chow.
The thrill factor also helps him remember better and remembering and following through are the really big parts of aha moments. Today's aha moments may not have much to do with survival, but they can still be valuable. Here are four things you should do with an aha moment:
1.Write it down. The thrill factor may not be enough to keep it alive in your memory long enough to figure out what to do with it. We have a lot of distractions in our lives and new ideas have not been reinforced by years of repetition like old habits. So the new connection you've made can be quickly forgotten and hard to retrieve. Those Who Knew: Why The Silence About Sexual Abuse?

All relationships run into rough waters at times. Fights happen. Each of us goes away feeling hurt and angry, and those feelings can be difficult to shake off.

This came from the Huffington Post. Its real news and some may say not humor. Personally I find it funny as can be.
Police busted members of a church authorities say was actually a front for prostitution.
Police claim the alleged brothel generated tens of thousands of dollars a month, according to CNN.
The church's website, which appears to have been taken down, was one of the factors that led to the indictments of 33 people, CNN reports.
"Sex is a holy, sacred and divine healing force at the core [of] our beings" the site claimed, according to CNN. "Once we embrace this force instead of deny it, we become successful, happy and powerful manifestors."

Nothing Fails Like Prayer - Anne Nicol Gaylor, Co-Founder of FFRF
@Pat, it wasn't good at all. I wanted to watch something else, but I was too high to choose something different. It came back to haunt me a few years ago. I was in Dublin in a really old pub, wearing a pearl snap shirt and cowboy boots and really talking it up (accent intact, and possibly somewhat exaggerated) with all the Irish patrons. One of the bartenders told me they were going to play music that night especially for me. Kenny Rogers. All night long. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I don't like Kenny Rogers...

The heat is back with us. If working out, do be careful you don't get overheated. Be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks. We had an appointment in Elizabethtown Monday afternoon, and the heat was practically unbearable going to and from the car, to where we needed to go. At one of the grocery stores, there were some men on a platform working on the sunny side of this brick building. I hardly can understand how they stood it. I know we sort of get adjusted to things, but that seems beyond adjusting to.

PACIFIC RIM will arrive in theaters on July 12, 2013. The thriller is directed by Guillermo Del Toro and stars Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and DIEGO KLATTENHOFF. Below, get a first look at the city of San Francisco under seige in a clip from the upcoming film.
PACIFIC RIM Official Synopsis:
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Former UMaine Field Hockey Player to Compete in Olympic Qualifying Tournament
University of Maine graduate and former field hockey standout Holly Stewart will compete at the 2015 Pan American Games, a qualifying tournament for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Stewart of North Vancouver, British Columbia was one of 16 women selected to the Canadian field hockey team that will compete in the Toronto tournament from July 10–26.
The winner of the Pan American Games will earn a spot at next year's summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Stewart wrapped up her UMaine career this past fall. Earlier in June, she was named the 2015 America East Woman of the Year.
Team Canada's schedule is online.
Advanced Structures and Composites Center, Lopez-Anido Cited in Mainebiz Article
Mainebiz mentioned the University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center in an article about Brunswick-based Harbor Technologies Inc. which creates hybrid composite beams for bridge construction. The company works with research facilities including the UMaine Composites Center for testing, according to the article. Roberto Lopez-Anido, a civil engineering professor at UMaine, said he has seen the lab grow from nothing when he first arrived on campus 17 years ago to a world-class accredited testing facility whose industry clients range from Fortune 500 companies to startup firms developing innovative products and processes, the article states. Lopez-Anido said the center provides a valuable service to Harbor Technologies and other Maine composites companies. "Our mission is to support industry in this region, to help them get products into the market," he said. "We're also training students to get proficient in working with these products so that they have the skills to work at these Maine companies after they graduate."
Yarborough Quoted in AP Article on June Rain
David Yarborough, a blueberry specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension and professor in the School of Food and Agriculture, was quoted in an Associated Press article about the abundance of rain in June and how it has affected Maine farmers. The rain has saturated some low-lying crops, made fields too muddy for farm machinery and delayed the first cutting of hay in some parts of northern New England, according to the article. Yarborough said wild blueberry growers needed rain after a dry spring, but the timing of the rain and cooler weather prevented maximum pollination, potentially reducing the crop's size. The Portland Press Herald, Times Union and The Caledonian-Record carried the AP report.
BDN Speaks with Miller About Crowdfunding for Health Care
Jessica Miller, a clinical bioethicist at Eastern Maine Medical Center and chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Maine, was quoted in the Bangor Daily News article "Should the Internet pay for your health care? Maine kidney surgery raises ethical quandary." A 24-year-old South Portland mother who used an online crowdfunding campaign to cover her kidney transplant raised nearly $50,000, eight times the amount sought, according to the article. Royles' transplant surgery was delayed because the hospital was leery of federal regulations that prohibit individuals from profiting off the donation of an organ, the article states. Miller said online campaigns for medical care raise a unique set of issues. "The spaghetti supper draws on community relationships and community identity," Miller said. "The GoFundMe, the Indigogo, the YouCaring [sites] draw on strangers. It's almost like you have to fill in your own gaps. In your mind, what is a deserving patient? There's no context," Miller said, adding the gaps leave room for morally loaded judgements. "It rewards the perfect patient," she said. "The cute child with cancer might be more likely to have their campaign funded than, say, a woman who has a campaign to obtain an abortion."
Press Herald Interviews Marrs About Parents Paying Higher Education Costs
The Portland Press Herald spoke with Gianna Marrs, director of student financial aid at the University of Maine, for the article "In many Maine households, parents shoulder high costs of college." According to Sallie Mae, the nation's largest private education lender, two-thirds of parents help pay for college, while the average amount saved in advance by parents is only $10,400, the article states. Marrs told the Press Herald her office receives the most calls in March, April and May, as parents seek help calculating costs and explore borrowing options. "We're not being a good nation of savers, whether it's for retirement or our children's college education," she said. "That really puts pressure on students to pay their own way through college."
Wiscasset Newspaper Advances Darling Marine Center Anniversary Events
Wiscasset Newspaper reported the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center in Walpole will celebrate its 50th anniversary with summer events including Wednesday Walking Tours, Science on Tap Seminars and an open house. From July 1 through Aug. 19, visitors are invited on Wednesday mornings for a walking tour of the center's waterfront laboratories, according to the article. The 90-minute tours will highlight current research projects focusing on lobster ecology and fisheries management, shellfish aquaculture, remote sensing, coastal food webs, and ocean acidification, the article states. The first Science on Tap Seminar will be presented by UMaine marine scientist Bob Steneck on July 8. The open house on Aug. 8 will feature activities for all ages to introduce visitors to the plants and animals that share the shore and learn about marine research tools and technology, the article states.
Marcinkowski Quoted in Press Herald Article on Portland Business
David Marcinkowski, a dairy expert with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension and animal and veterinary science professor in the School of Food and Agriculture, was quoted in a Portland Press Herald article about Portland business ImmuCell Corp. The company, which develops products to prevent and treat diseases among dairy and beef cattle, recently completed its most profitable quarter in 12 years in part because of harsh environmental conditions faced by cattle ranchers in the West, according to the article. Dairy farmers generally bring feed to their cows, which becomes expensive when farmers need to truck in hay from other locations, Marcinkowski said. As a result, the price of milk hit a record high in mid-2014 before dropping down because of overproduction, he said. In the beef and dairy industries, the price of a calf increased 40 percent from 2012 to 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Now that herds are expanding again in some states, prices should begin to normalize, the article states. However, Marcinkowski said it is a long process that could take four or five years.

SMART Institute Featured on WABI
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the University of Maine's Stormwater Management Research Team (SMART) Institute, a three-day program that focuses on creating innovative solutions to environmental problems related to stormwater management. About 100 students and teacher from high schools around the state participated in the program that aims to engage a diverse group of students and teachers in training for the implementation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in their schools while addressing an important environmental issue. Throughout the conference, students took part in hands-on projects led by STEM professionals in areas such as engineering design, science, computer modeling and information technology to monitor and map water quality. "It's really cool because we are actually doing something that will affect our community. To be part of something that is groundbreaking and going to make a difference," said Sarah Montenbeau, a junior at Traip Academy in Kittery. Cary James, chairman of the science department at Bangor High School, said students are learning about a variety of topics, including science and engineering, technology, and mathematics. "Someone made the comment yesterday that they're used to being lectured, and this is as far as you can get from that," James said. On Wednesday, students took water samples from the Stillwater River, WABI reported. "And we're analyzing whether it's healthy to drink; whether it's healthy for fish to live in," said Takquan Parks, a senior at Bangor High School.
Garder Quoted in AP Article on Maine Commuting Times
Per Garder, a civil engineering professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in an Associated Press article about commuting times in Maine's largest metropolitan area. Workers in the Portland-South Portland area enjoy shorter commuting times than the national average despite the area's status as an employment hub for the state, according to the article. Commuters in the area spent an average of 24.1 minutes getting to work in 2013, slightly less than the national average of 25.8 minutes, the article states. About three-fourths of Maine's workforce commutes alone by car, and because Maine has few major employers and they aren't concentrated in one city, many workers commute long distances every day. "We have seen the same trend as the rest of the U.S. — that people are moving out of the service centers and living not only in nearby suburban municipalities but even ex-urban places 30 minutes away or so," Garder said. "Workplaces on the other hand seem to be concentrating to the traditional urban centers." Fosters.com, Sun Journal and the Portland Press Herald carried the AP report.
Crittenden Writes Op-Ed on Aging Research for BDN
The Bangor Daily News published the opinion piece, "A tech-friendly future for seniors: From 'smart homes' to an app that lets you read to your grandchildren remotely" by Jennifer Crittenden, assistant director of the University of Maine Center on Aging. UMaine has recently designated aging as an emerging area of excellence, Crittenden wrote, adding the designation will stimulate the development of cutting-edge aging-in-place technologies in Maine. Crittenden is a member of the Maine chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network, which brings together scholars across the country to address public challenges and their policy implications. Members' columns appear in the BDN every other week.
MPBN Reports on Launch of Lifelong Learning Initiative
The Maine Public Broadcasting Network covered the launch of Maine State of Learning, a statewide effort supporting learning and skill-building to ensure growth, empowerment and success for all Maine residents. The project is fueled by public and private partnerships across the state to provide more learning opportunities to Maine residents of all ages; recognize that learning through digital badges; and connect it to statewide proficiency standards, career pathways and personal goals. The University of Maine is a founding partner of the initiative along with Breakwater Learning, Maine Afterschool Network, Badge Labs, Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Educate Maine. Jay Collier, Educate Maine program director, said the effort will allow learners to collect digital badges at a number of locations around the state, including after school programs and camps, according to the report. The badges are designed to serve as verifiable records of learning. Participants can earn three digital badges in the UMaine 4-H STEM Ambassador program.
Riordan Speaks to BDN About Importance of Downtown Theaters
Liam Riordan, a University of Maine history professor and director of the University of Maine Humanities Center, was quoted in a Bangor Daily News article about the Colonial Theatre in Belfast being put on the market. Riordan told the BDN downtown theaters such as the Colonial matter a lot to the cultural lives of Maine communities. "I do think theaters have played an extraordinary role as a hub of local culture," Riordan said, mentioning the Criterion in Bar Harbor, the Grand in Ellsworth, the Alamo in Bucksport and the Strand in Rockland as some other examples of early 20th century downtown theaters that remain relevant along the coast. "Now all are multifunctional spaces and performance hubs," he said. "We do need these kinds of gathering spaces. They can include music and dance and lectures."
Angela Hanscom: Summer Camp Founder
In the woods of New Hampshire, there's a place children can escape the real world. It's a place where they can let go of their fears, develop skills and feel free; a place where they can learn to interact with peers while connecting to nature and getting their hands dirty.
The place is TimberNook, a summer camp with a name meant to convey a hidden spot in the woods.
TimberNook campers take part in a variety of new experiences — from acting out a classic story in the woods, such as "Three Little Pigs," complete with building houses out of hay, sticks and bricks, to designing an art gallery walk through the forest.
"There is no typical day at TimberNook," says founder Angela Hanscom. "Every camp experience is different, but all focus on fostering healthy sensory and motor development while challenging the mind at the same time to think in new ways."
The campers come for many reasons. Some children come to overcome fears of going barefoot or walking into the woods, others to learn how to take risks and play with friends appropriately, Hanscom says. Some come to simply learn how to use their imagination for the first time.
Since 2010, about 1,180 children have attended TimberNook camps at three New Hampshire locations in Barrington, Brentwood and Madbury, as well as in Florida and Ohio, and around the world in New Zealand and soon to be in Australia.
Hanscom, a University of Maine alumna, founded the camp after determining many children aren't spending enough time playing outdoors, which affects their sensory systems and quality of life.
"I'm on a mission to get children back outdoors to once again foster healthy sensory and motor development," she says. "My focus is on prevention and a new approach to play."
Hanscom, who graduated from UMaine in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and physical education, earned a master's degree in occupational therapy from the University of Southern Maine in 2003.
After graduate school, Hanscom worked as an occupational therapist in hospitals, schools and clinics. When her second daughter was born, Hanscom chose to stay home to raise her children.
Among her children's classmates, Hanscom noticed many seemed to have poor balance and coordination, were weaker than they should be at their age, and had trouble thinking creatively. Many of the children needed occupational therapy and only a few of them played outdoors on a regular basis.
Through research and observation at local schools, Hanscom found children were noticeably weaker and their balance systems were significantly underdeveloped as compared to children of previous generations. She also found teachers reported children becoming more aggressive on the playground and having trouble staying in their seats.
In 2010, Hanscom created a summer camp in New Hampshire to get children outdoors while enhancing and fostering development. After one week, those who attended the camp showed signs of improvement, she says. Some became more social while others showed less anxiety when trying new activities or playing outdoors.
As the camp's popularity grew, Hanscom decided to license the program to allow parents and therapists to replicate the curriculum. TimberNook was officially trademarked in 2014 and began expanding to other locations.
The camp is geared toward children who are 4–11 years old.
"This is the age of imagination and the start of independence; both we like to foster in young children," Hanscom says.
Hanscom credits her kinesiology and therapy background with allowing her to fully understand the importance of movement in the development of young children.
Wanting to become a physical therapist, Hanscom majored in kinesiology and physical education at UMaine, which she attended because her father, an alumnus, spoke highly of his time at the university. While in college, Hanscom decided to make the switch to occupational therapy, earning her master's in the discipline.
"I became interested in treating the whole child — not just the physical aspects of development. I wanted to help foster healthy development of both the mind and the body," she says.
As a hands-on learner, Hanscom thrived in the interactive kinesiology and physical education program at UMaine that provided her first glimpse into the professional world. She enjoyed the practical courses, especially those taught by Stephen Butterfield, professor and chair of UMaine's Department of Exercise Science and STEM Education.
"He really made quite the impact on me," Hanscom says of Butterfield. "He had such an innovative way of engaging his class. He challenged us and expected great things from our work. I'll never forget the quality of his teaching."
Always a fan of nature, Hanscom spent a lot of her free time at UMaine mountain biking on university trails.
When she's not in meetings or strategically planning for TimberNook, Hanscom promotes her program and philosophies through writing and speaking engagements.
She is a regular contributor to The Washington Post. Her first article, "Why kids fidget and what we can do about it" went viral around the world. She has given a TED Talk for more than 100,000 Johnson & Johnson employees on the importance of movement and play outdoors on the overall well-being of children.
Hanscom recently wrote "Balanced & Barefoot," a nonfiction book that examines the importance of free play outdoors on the sensory and motor development of children.
"It is designed for parents and educators as a guide on how to foster healthy development and creativity through play experiences outside," Hanscom says of the book that is expected to be published by New Harbinger in spring 2016.
In the future, Hanscom hopes to see more TimberNook camps around the world to reach as many children as possible.
"My goal is to create change for the youngest of our society — to educate adults on the therapeutic importance of having enough time to play outdoors on a regular basis," she says.
Scott Walker: Combating Life-threatening Diseases
Scott Walker, a principal scientist of infectious diseases at Merck Research Laboratories in New Jersey, graduated with a bachelor's degree in microbiology from the University of Maine in 1986.
For 18 years Walker, who earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology and biochemistry in 1992 from the University of Connecticut Health Center, School of Medicine, has been employed by Merck where he works to discover new antibiotics to treat life-threatening infections by resistant bacteria.
Born in Bangor to a pair of 1962 UMaine graduates, Walker grew up in Orono and graduated from Greely High School in Cumberland after his family moved while he was entering 10th grade.
Like himself and his parents, Walker's wife, Celesta Sbardella Walker, also is a Black Bear and graduated in 1986 with a degree in elementary education.
"We met the second weekend of sophomore year, both 19 years old; a true bear pair," Walker says.
The Walkers have two children. Their oldest, Adam, attends UMaine and expects to graduate in 2017.
Describe some of your latest research and what you aim to discover:
My current research is aimed at discovering new drugs to fight deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. These are the "superbugs" we see in the news. Many bacterial infections, especially those acquired in the hospital, are resistant to common or "first-line" antibiotics and some are resistant to all antibiotics. New drugs to combat these infections are desperately needed.
What are some of the life-threatening infections you are hoping to treat with new antibiotics?
The so-called Gram-negatives are the focus of the work we do. Examples of Gram-negative bacteria are Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The really nasty infections usually occur in the hospital and can be very tough, if not impossible, to treat. The Centers for Disease Control has categorized these organisms as significant threats to human health worldwide.
Why did you want to work at Merck?
Merck and, prior to that, Schering-Plough are world-class companies. We do groundbreaking drug discovery and development to combat or treat life-threatening diseases, viral and bacterial infection, cancer and heart disease. It's amazing to be a part of that.
Growing up in Maine, did you ever think you would be working for a big pharmaceutical company in New Jersey?
I had no idea. My parents grew up in Auburn and are both UMaine grads. I was born in Bangor and we lived in Orono for many years, but they always told me there is a big world out there. My dad is a Vietnam veteran and we lived in the South for a few years and a couple of years in New Jersey after that before returning to Orono. I will always consider Maine my home, but the winds of a career blew us to New Jersey.
Why did you decide to study microbiology?
With the inspiration of an outstanding high school biology teacher I developed a love for biology and in particular microbiology. It sounds really nerdy, but I'm fascinated by the unseen world around us and in us. My bio teacher had a life-changing influence on me at a time when I wasn't sure which direction to go. We had just moved to a new town (Cumberland) and I was feeling lost until I took biology.
Why UMaine?
I was born in Bangor, grew up in Orono, and my parents are UMaine grads; was there any other choice? I filled out one college application.
How did UMaine and the microbiology program in particular prepare you for your career?
Microbiology at UMaine was, and still is, a rigorous program that provided a solid foundation for my graduate work at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The training I received at UMaine gave me the background and confidence to handle the coursework for a Ph.D. program. My Hitchner Hall laboratory experience also exposed me to many of the modern molecular biology techniques I would later use in my graduate research project.
Did you work closely with a professor or mentor who made your UMaine experience better?
Two professors at UMaine had a huge influence on me; professors Richard Blake and Keith Hutchison. They both challenged me to think as a scientist and to push the limits of my abilities. I wouldn't be the scientist I am today without their mentoring and inspiration.
What was your favorite place on campus?
Alfond Arena. We were there for Coach Walsh's first season. What a special place to enjoy a hockey game with your friends. I watched a game with my son in January of this year and it felt exactly the same. Also, the Bear's Den — the original one downstairs.
Most memorable UMaine moment?
It's hard to point to a single moment; there were so many. Having fun at an intense hockey game against UNH, doing well on an exam you really worked hard for, meeting a Nobel laureate, walking across campus on the first warm day of spring.
How does UMaine continue to influence your life?
I am very proud to call myself a UMaine graduate and a Black Bear. My education there prepared me, without a doubt, for the success I enjoyed in graduate school and in my current profession.
How often do you visit Maine?
Our ties to Maine are wide and deep. My family has had its roots in Maine for hundreds of years. My brothers live in Maine and the Boston area and Celesta's family all live in and around Portland. The pull is pretty strong.
We travel back to Maine as often as we can for holidays and summer vacations to visit family in the Portland area and to be "tourists" in our home state.
I love to ski, hike, bike, fish and camp in Maine. I did the Dempsey Challenge 100-mile bike ride last fall and skied Sugarloaf several times this season. There's really no place we'd rather be for some rest and relaxation.
Any advice for students today?
Don't be afraid of hard work; it will pay off. Sometimes it takes a few years (like a Ph.D. program), but even when you're in the midst of working harder than you ever thought you would or could, think about the small day-to-day successes in your life. It's like putting coins in a jar, it takes a while, but you'd be surprised what you can build up.
Anything else you'd like to add?
In January I had the honor of giving a seminar in Hitchner Hall on the work I do at Merck and talk with students about life in "Big Pharma." It truly was the highlight of my professional career, so far, to come back to Orono and talk with faculty and especially students.
It's easy to see that the faculty has a passion for their research and training the next generation of scientists. If we as a nation are going to remain at the forefront of the biomedical sciences we need places like UMaine and people so dedicated to research and education. Plant the seeds and watch them grow.

Visit the World Music Blog to watch a video of Claudia performing live!
Although Claudia Acuña is a full fledged jazz singer, her repertoire still reflects her Chilean origins, and she presented several jazz settings of songs from its folk heritage.
"El Cigaritto" is by the iconic songwriter Victor Hara, whose work is almost synonymous with the protest songs of the Nuevo Cancion movement that arose in Chile in the 1970's. Read more »

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Over the weekend, Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe made major waves when they spoke with MTV News and revealed an unusual plan of attack for their upcoming Robin Hood film "Nottingham." After a lengthy search for a Robin to play opposite the Oscar winner's Sheriff of Nottingham, Scott had a new answer for the question of who will play the green-clad good guy.
"It's Russell Crowe," Scott insisted. "He's playing both."
When we brought the statement to Crowe, the Australian smiled and said of his constant collaborator, "He talks too much."
In the days since, their comments have been interpreted to mean everything from Crowe doing a "Klumps"-esque performance opposite himself, to the theory that both Robin and the Sheriff will be the same person caught up in a "Fight Club"-like battle between two split personalities. Now, a fan site devoted to the actor claims to have an e-mail from him shooting down both theories, while other movie sites are insisting the split-personality angle is indeed the plan.
For the straight story, and for more about "Nottingham," where better to go than the five-time collaborators ("Gladiator," "American Gangster," etc.) themselves?
"I'm doing Robin Hood next with Russell. That's what actors like to do — dress up, change their persona and invent 20 voices," Scott told us about his plans for the movie, adding that the Robin/Sheriff plan is too complex to explain in an interview. "I haven't got long enough to tell you. … It adjusts, it changes. It would take me more than 10 minutes to tell you. … Just a good old clever adjustment of characters. One becomes the other. It changes, changes."
As for the film's plot, Scott explained: "The arena is England in the time of Richard Coeur de Lion [the Lionhearted]. Richard the second — and the father, Richard Coeur de Lion — have both gone off to the Holy Wars and have bankrupted the country for the Holy Wars. On their way back, Richard Coeur de Lion dies and the country is handed over to his brother, Sir John, who increases taxation."
Discussing the other actors in the film, the veteran director shot down rumors of household names like William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan being in the flick. "Everyone I've cast you probably don't know, because I like to look for new faces and give people new opportunities," he said. "If I have an actor like Russell, I can start looking around to see who's fresh."
Scott did reveal, however, that he and Crowe will reunite with the breakout actor of their upcoming film "Body of Lies," a charismatic English star who also appears in next month's "RocknRolla." "Mark Strong, who's in this movie [will be in 'Nottingham']."
Talk to Crowe, however, and he seems far less confident about Scott's plans to put the movie together as intended. "We'll see," the superstar said cautiously. "We'll see if we do it."
According to Crowe, in fact, there's still a chance he might not even be in the flick. "The one thing that's important to me is that in the 100-year tradition of Robin Hood in the cinema, you certainly don't want to make the second-best one," he grinned. "So if we're not in the situation where we're going to make the best one, I'm not really interested."
Reflecting on the background of the English folktale, he added: "There's 1,000 years of storytelling involved with Robin Hood, from the original ballads to the legend, the mythology, the political tool of Robin Hood and how it was used, depending on which judge was in favor at the time. That mythology has somehow got to be encapsulated the next time you tell the story on film.
"So I want to do it, but I don't want to do it at all costs," Crowe cautioned. "I want to do it if it's going to be a great film."
Scott sounds far more convinced that the movie will become a reality with Crowe as both leads, and said he was eager to overcome the Disney stereotypes that most Americans associate with the tale of the rebellious robber who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
"Oh, yes," he said when asked if Friar Tuck was in the movie. "We'll have him being knocked off the block, Little John, all that."

One of my all time favorite hikes. The switch backs are moderate at the start and the reward is the beautiful lake when you arrive at the top.
One of the most rewarding hikes I've ever been on. The views are stunning (especially in early autumn when the changing colors are nearly florescent). The trail has a good mix of steep inclines and a few steady paths, but nothing is as rewarding as the crystal clear lake on top. By far the best hike we did in the...
Love that the trail leads you through all kinds of environments and beautiful lake at the end. Aspen forest, pine forest, rocks and open meadows are all included.
If you see my review of Cathedral Lake you will find this is much of the same review. The hike is rewarding but if you have bad knees, a bad back, or are not in somewhat decent shape then this hike is going to be tough. While this hike is considered 'MODERATE' by some reports it is actually rated Difficult...
Less popular than nearby cathedral lake, this hike is well worth the effort. It's steep and challenging but you are rewarded with a beautiful alpine lake in a majestic setting. As always,bring lots of water,lunch,and rain gear.
My wife and I did it with our 8 year old an 3 year old. Take your time and ascend through different ecosystems to a beautiful alpine lake. Look around and you'll find some remnants of the old mining days too. If you're in reasonably good shape give it a try. It's easier than Cathedral Lake trail...that is for sure....
The uphills ro start with are very challenging but the rest a a great physical workout. It took us flat landers about 2 hours up (taking breaks to take photos) and 1 1/2 hours back down. Gorgeous views and terrain. The lake was totally peaceful.
