Brett Baker

After a highly successful seven year period as President of the British Trombone Society, Brett Baker handed over the high profile leadership reins to Carol Jarvis at the organisation?s recent Annual General Meeting.

Increased focus

During his tenure, Brett has spearheaded a rejuvenation in the Society?s work, including an increased focus on input from the brass band genre.

The first National event since 2006 took place in Cardiff this year, whilst the Black Dyke trombonist initiated several innovative schemes to increase grass roots participation and performance, including an instrument loan project in collaboration with Warwick Music.

Positives

Brett told 4BR: "Over the past seven years I?ve seen many positive changes to the Society.

Bob Hughes was instrumental in bringing many different genres, players and educationalists together and putting on an array of exciting events, and I?ve strived to carry on his good work.

I also wanted to support and encourage participation from young players and also to have specific events for younger players, such as those held in Leeds, Beverley and South Wales."

New direction

He added: "I think it is now time for a new direction and so I?m happy that Carol is taking over. I feel proud to have started the BTS Instrument Loan Scheme and organising the society?s first ever CD ?Fanfare?, which will continue to raise money to buy new trombones for beginners in schools.

The growing success of the BTS magazine, I know is an area dear to Carol?s heart. I wish the BTS every success in its new era and will continue to support it by being involved with events whenever I can."

Moline aldermen have decided to hold off on plans to sell the Moline Train Depot. At the urging of the mayor, council voted to give the Moline Preservation Society 70-days to save the depot. The preservation society has to raise $155,000 to move the depot from its current location on River Drive to the new WIU Quad Cities Riverfront Campus. So far, the society has raised almost $30,000 and the fundraising effort is on fast track.

"We're talking to corporations, foundations, anybody we can think of." says Moline Preservation Society President Diann Moore, "We are even talking with railroad organizations, museums, and owners of railroad lines. We need to get this out to as many people as possible."

If the society does not raise enough money the city will sell the 112-year old depot to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The depot will then be demolished to make way for a new I-74 bridge. The society has until December 18th to raise the money.

Cell receptor research wins Americans chemistry Nobel

By Patrick Lannin and Alistair Scrutton

STOCKHOLM | Wed Oct 10, 2012 7:10am EDT

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Two American scientists won the 2012 Nobel Prize for chemistry on Wednesday for research into how cells respond to external stimuli that is helping to develop better drugs to fight diseases such as diabetes, cancer and depression.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the 8 million crown ($1.2 million) prize went to Robert Lefkowitz, 69, and Brian Kobilka, 57, for discovering the inner workings of G-protein-coupled receptors, which allow cells to respond to chemical messages such as adrenaline rushes.

"Around half of all medications act through these receptors, among them beta blockers, antihistamines and various kinds of psychiatric medications," the committee said.

Working out better ways to target the receptors, known as GPCRs, is an area of keen focus for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Lefkowitz told a news conference by telephone he was asleep when the phone call came from Sweden.

"I did not hear it - I must share with you that I wear earplugs to sleep. So my wife gave me an elbow. So there it was, a total shock and surprise," he said.

Sven Lidin, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Lund University and chairman of the committee, told a news conference the discovery had been key in medical research.

"Knowing what they (the receptors) look like and how they function will provide us with the tools to make better drugs with fewer side effects," he added.

GPCRs are linked to a wide range of diseases, since they play a central role in many biological functions in the body, but developing new drugs to target them accurately has been difficult because of a lack of fundamental understanding as to how they function. Experts say the work of the Nobel Prize winners has opened the door to making better medicines.

Drugs targeting GPCRs have potential in treating illnesses involving the central nervous system, heart conditions, inflammation and metabolic disorders.

Mark Downs, chief executive of Britain's Society of Biology, said the researchers had covered important ground in more than one discipline.

"This ground-breaking work spanning genetics and biochemistry has laid the basis for much of our understanding of modern pharmacology as well as how cells in different parts of living organisms can react differently to external stimulation," he said in a statement.

Johan Aqvist, Professor of Chemistry at Sweden's Uppsala University, said Lefkowitz was "the father of this entire field".

"Out of the roughly 1,400 drugs that exist in the world, about 1,000 of them are little pills that you consume, and the majority of these are based in these receptors," he told Reuters.

Chemistry was the third of this year's Nobel prizes. Prizes for achievements in science, literature and peace were first awarded in 1901 in accordance with the will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel. ($1 = 6.6125 Swedish crowns)
