From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LeeVees is a rock band from New York City featuring Adam Gardner of Guster and Dave Schneider of the Zambonis. The band was formed when the two bands went on tour together. The latter band writes songs about only one subject -- hockey -- and Gardner and Schneider thought it would be fun to form another rock band -- this time a Jewish one -- that wrote songs about only one subject -- Hanukkah -- because there was a dearth of contemporary songs about that holiday. It first came to prominence near the end of 2005 with its debut album, Hanukkah Rocks. After realizing that this approach was kind of narrow, it continues as a band with a strong Jewish identity.

6THWAL_080923_079.JPG: Paul Nurse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Paul Maxime Nurse, FRS (b. January 25, 1949) is a British biochemist. He was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Leland H. Hartwell and R. Timothy Hunt for their discoveries regarding cell cycle regulation by cyclin and cyclin dependent kinases.
Nurse's parents came from Norfolk. He was born and raised in Wembley, in north-west London, and was educated at Harrow County School for Boys. He received his undergraduate degree in 1970 from the University of Birmingham and his PhD degree in 1973 from the University of East Anglia. Beginning in 1976, Nurse identified the gene cdc2 in yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). This gene controls the progression of the cell cycle from G1 phase to S phase and the transition from G2 phase to mitosis. In 1987, Nurse identified the homologous gene in human, CDK1, which codes for a cyclin dependent kinase.
In 1984, Nurse joined the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF, now named the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute). He left in 1988 to chair the department of microbiology at the University of Oxford. He then returned to the ICRF as Director of Research in 1993, and in 1996 was named Director General of the ICRF, which became the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute in 2002. In 2003, he became president of Rockefeller University in New York City where he continues to work on the cell cycle of fission yeast.
In addition to the Nobel Prize, Nurse has received numerous awards and honours. In 1989, he became a fellow of the Royal Society and in 1995 he received a Royal Medal and became a foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He received the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 1998. Nurse was knighted in 1999. He was awarded the French Legion d'Honneur in 2002. He was also awarded the Copley Medal in 2005. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences one of the top honours in April 2006.

6THWAL_080923_120.JPG: The Klezmatics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Klezmatics are a Grammy Award winning American neo-klezmer music group based in New York City, who have achieved fame singing in several languages, most notably mixing older Yiddish tunes with other types of more contemporary music of differing origins. They became known to a wide audience after discovering that Woody Guthrie's sister had been the caretaker of hundreds of lyrics he had written that had not been put to music.
Current members include composers Matt Darriau, wind instruments, and Frank London, on trumpet, Paul Morrissett playing bass and tsimbl cimbalom, vocalist Lorin Sklamberg on accordion, and Lisa Gutkin on violin. Past members include drummer David Licht, Alicia Svigals on violin, David Krakauer, Margot Leverett, and Kurt Bjorling on the clarinet.
Frequent guests with the band have included Boo Reiners, Susan McKeown, and drummers Richie Barshay and Aaron Alexander. The group formed in New York's East Village in 1986. They have appeared numerous times on television, including on the PBS Great Performances series, with Itzhak Perlman. Their lyrics are sung in English and Yiddish. They also recorded pieces in Aramaic and Bavarian on Schneider-Zwiefacher and on Shvaign = toyt.
The Klezmatics appeared live, in June 2003, in collaboration with the Jenaer Philharmonie of Jena, Germany. They have also participated in cross-cultural collaborations, most notably with the Palestinian musician Simon Shaheen.
Their most recent album, Wonder Wheel, melds The Klezmatics' unique take on klezmer with the English lyrics of American folk icon Woody Guthrie. The album won a Grammy in the category of Best Contemporary World Music Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. Another album of Guthrie material, entitled Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkahaudio, was released via JMG in August 2006. Guthrie's granddaughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie has guested with them.
The Klezmatics' 20th anniversary concert took place at New York City's Town Hall on March 5, 2006. They have released CDs on the Rounder, Piranha, Xenophile, Flying Fish, Klezmatics, and Jewish music group labels. Additionally, a few members of the group appeared on the klezmer-inspired track "Stephen's Last Night in Town" from the Ben Folds Five album Whatever and Ever Amen.

It was upon his return that he began to tutor children in Roxbury, MA, and soon became a teacher in the Boston Public Schools. He was fired for teaching a Langston Hughes poem, as described in Death at an Early Age, and then became deeply involved in the civil rights movement. After being fired from BPS he was offered a job to teach for Newton Public Schools, the school district that he had attended as a child, and taught there for several years before becoming more deeply involved in social justice work and dedicating more time to writing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Chabon (pron. SHAY-bon) (born May 24, 1963) is an American author and "one of the most celebrated writers of his generation," according to the The Virginia Quarterly Review. His first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (1988), was published when Chabon was 25 and catapulted him to literary celebrity. He followed it with a second novel, Wonder Boys (1995), and two short-story collections. In 2000, Chabon published The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, a critically acclaimed novel that The New York Review of Books called his magnum opus; it received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001. His most recent novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, an alternate history mystery novel, was published in 2007 to enthusiastic reviews and won the Hugo, Sidewise, and Nebula awards; his serialized novel Gentlemen of the Road appeared in book form in the fall of that same year.
His work is characterized by complex language, frequent use of metaphor, and an extensive vocabulary, along with numerous recurring themes, including nostalgia, divorce, abandonment, fatherhood, and issues of Jewish identity. He often includes gay, bisexual, and Jewish characters in his work. Since the late 1990s, Chabon has written in an increasingly diverse series of styles for varied outlets; he is a notable defender of the merits of genre fiction and plot-driven fiction, and, along with novels, he has published screenplays, children's books, comics, and newspaper serials.

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year.
Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina.
Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater.
Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
