Main Stage Productions
Nov. 12-20 --- "Big Love," by Charles Mee, directed by Chris Clavelli. Longstreet Theatre. Modern-day arranged marriages of 50 women to 50 men could only lead to one outcome - the great escape! Fleeing to Italy from their native Greece, our young heroines receive temporary asylum at an oceanside villa. Free and basking in the sun when their husbands-to-be drop in by helicopter to retrieve them, however, a fiery battle of the sexes erupts, making casualties of love and life. Charles Mee's modern retelling of Aeschylus' "The Suppliant Women" is a raucous take on a 2500-year-old Greek tragedy. "Big Love" is "a fanciful theatre piece you will never forget" (The New York Times).
Feb. 18-26 --- "The Suicide," by Nikolai Erdman, directed by Steven Pearson. Longstreet Theatre. What could possibly be subversive about an unemployed tuba player? Find out as Theatre South Carolina presents the hilarious Russian farce, "The Suicide," which, in 1928, so provoked the ire of Joseph Stalin that it was banned from public performance for most of the 20th century. Playwright Nikolai Erdman's tale takes us into the downtrodden existence of Semyon, an unemployed tubist at the end of his proverbial rope. When his wife confides to a neighbor that he may be considering suicide (he isn't), interested locals begin trying to make him a martyr for their own pet causes. He might be worth more dead than alive, but to whom? "The Suicide" explodes with lightness and humor in the darkness of this hard-hitting but zany social satire.

The arrival of the 'Destiny,' however, seems to have clinched Gondomar's arguments.
Gondomar placed all the forces at his disposal under his command.
He was permitted to sail, but the king informed Gondomar of the matter.
Gondomar, the Spanish Ambassador, complained of it as insulting to his master.
The Spanish ambassador, Gondomar, had then taken the management of the affair in hand.
Why was Gondomar the Spanish ambassador held in such esteem?
Men did not like the deference that was paid to Gondomar, the Spanish ambassador; they did not like the rise and supremacy of Car.
Gondomar, finding the cause of her distemper, sent her a present, an antidote which soon cured her of her strange complaint.
At home he was known as the intimate friend of Gondomar, the Spanish ambassador.
When he reached England he was arrested, at Gondomar's request, for having engaged in fighting with a friendly power.

Far be it for us to complain that there's too much choice when it comes to picking up a belting smartphone. But should the array of skills on display in your local phone shop baffle you (or should you need a guiding nudge) this tour of the particular strengths of the world's 20 best smartphones – in no particular order – should steer you in the right direction…
HTC One X
£480, htc.com
If Pirelli is right and power is nothing without control, it's probably a good idea to grip the HTC One X firmly with both hands. In fact, it's also a good job that its 4.7in 720p HD screen is made of tough Gorilla Glass, because underneath it there's a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor that makes the ICS-toting One X as powerful as Asus' Transformer Prime tablet. To help maximise all that oomph it has a Battery Saver Core, which controls how much power is being used at any given time. Just as well or you'll have splurged it all by lunchtime.
Quick specs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), 4.7in, 8MP
Samsung Galaxy Beam
£385, samsung.com/uk
While we're grateful to physics for keeping our feet on the ground and our internal organs tucked safely inside our bodies, it's easy to curse it for not allowing us to carry a home cinema in our pockets. Samsung's Galaxy Beam, however, bends physics' draconian rules. Its 4in, 800x480 LCD slips into your trousers easily, but thanks to a built-in 15 lumen projector it also contains the equivalent of a 50in TV. A 5MP cam even allows you to shoot your own 720p footage to blast on to a nearby wall, stationary lorry or large farm animal. Take that, physics.
Quick specs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 4in, 5MP
Orange Santa Clara
£tba (due summer), orange.com
You know something's new when it's still going under a codename – and the first Intel-powered smartphone still hasn't been officially christened. But it doesn't matter what the Santa Clara answers to, because the real story lies beneath its 4in screen. It runs on a single-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor – as made famous by almost every netbook ever – giving it enough power for parlour tricks such as 10fps stills shooting, no quad-core required. Orange says it won't break the bank and it should get Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) before long. The future's bright… for Intel.
Quick specs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 4in, 8MP
LG Optimus 3D Max
£tba (due spring), lg.com
Like curry toothpaste or Marmite ice cream, 3D might not be to everybody's taste – but there's undeniable gadget joy to be had from adding an extra dimension to your own pics and vids. Sadly, LG's first 3D phone also added some extra timber in order to make room for the requisite second camera, but with a waistline of 9.6mm and a weight of 148g, the Max avoids that chunky fate. Underneath its 4.3in, glasses-free screen you'll find a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus there's a microHDMI socket to hook it up to your 3D TV. Now stop hogging all the ice cream.
Quick specs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 4.3in, 5MP x 2
Nokia Lumia 800
£365, nokia.co.uk
Given that all phone designers have got to play with is an oblong with another, glowing oblong inside it, it's no surprise things can get a bit samey. Despite that, Nokia's crayon pushers have managed to make the Windows-running Lumia 800 stand out, especially in its glossy white, space-age guise. The 8MP camera round the back is one of the best on any smartphone, so it's perfect for confirming how good you look. At 3.7in it's not the biggest, but that's all the better for fitting into your badger-skin bumbag – or whatever it is the hipsters are wearing these days.
Quick specs Windows Phone 7, 3.7in, 8MP

Are You Ready for Rihanna x MAC?
The controversial singer has teamed with MAC for a cosmetics collection called RiRi Hearts MAC.
-Diana Denza
Rihanna celebrated her 25th birthday the way most girls dream they could: with a supersized MAC deal that has potential to rake in $15 million in worldwide sales. The controversy surrounding her personal life aside, this ultra-stylish songstress seems to be a good fit for the trusted cosmetics brand.
"When you think of makeup, the brand that pops into your mind — for something legit — is MAC," Rihanna explained to WWD. "Whatever color you want, it's like 'Let's go to MAC.' I've been using MAC on tour for such a long time it was a natural fit for me. I have always loved makeup, and I always said that if I do it, I want to do it with a credible brand."
Read How to Wear Neon: Three Electrifying Ensembles
According to Glamour, MAC's partnership with Rihanna marks the first time the brand has embarked on a long-term run with a celebrity. First up in the RiRi Hearts MAC line will be a sultry shade of red lipstick known as RiRi Woo, which will drop in early May to coincide with her concert tour.
More pieces are slated to follow throughout 2013, including shadow palettes, blushes, faux lashes, and nail polishes. WWD reports that the collaboration will be released in four ranges, one per season. You'll be able to scoop up the spring and summer collections online and the fall and holiday collections in-store. RiRi Woo will also be sold along with Rihanna-themed merch at the singer's concerts.
Tell us: Will RiRi Hearts MAC shine bright like a diamond or is this partnership destined to fail?

Sometimes we miss a fish or we shoot a large fish and the recoil or fight of the animal can pull the gun out of your grip, which ever the case make sure you always use a gun equipped with a shock line. JBL's Shock Line for Magnum, Explorer, and Woody 4W Series Spear Guns (except JBL4D50) will absorb that pull or recoil that is felt when shooting and spearing a large fish. Shock Line also secures the spear shaft to the gun preventing spear lose.
Shock Line is made of strong and durable braided Spectra Cord assuring you that your spear shaft won't break loose or shock line will not snap when a fish is on your spear shaft. Some of the Shock Line is coiled inside a length of surgical tubing crimped to the line providing a shock absorption bungee effect relieving strain from a fighting fish. Shock Line is 14' 9" (4.5 meters) long and makes a great Save-A-Dive Kit Item.

Look Out Below!
Down Imaging Sonar - Provides picture-like images of structure below your boat by combining a traditional down-looking sonar view with side imaging technology. Observe Down Imaging side-by-side on your screen with SwitchFireTM (explained below), or on a 3-way view.
Light a Fire Under Your Boat
SwitchFire gives you a real time, customized look below the water's surface with 2 different modes: "Max Mode" and "Clear Mode". Clear Mode filters out noise (suspended particles, etc.) in agitated or shallow (8' or less) water for a clearer image of fish and structure. Max Mode for incredible detail and easy lure monitoring. See cover, structure, fish, even thermoclines and water currents. Keep an eye on your bait or jigging action for the best lure presentation.

Authorities search lake for missing boaters
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 4:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 4:53 p.m.
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Authorities and volunteers are searching a central Florida lake for two boaters who disappeared over the weekend.
State wildlife officials say Charlie Jackson and Jason Cobb may have been ejected early Saturday from their 15-foot fishing boat, which was found later that afternoon. Volunteers in airboats and all-terrain vehicles were searching along the shore of Lake Jesup in Seminole County on Monday.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://thesent.nl/U0OPY0 ) reports that authorities already used sonar and a sheriff's office helicopter equipped with heat-sensing technology to try to find the men in one of central Florida's largest lakes known for its alligator population.

West Valley City • The night plays out like a script from a bad movie.
A man comes home and discovers his wife is spending an evening with her co-worker, so he grabs a hatchet and attempts to hack the co-worker to death.
In response, the co-worker wrestles away the hatchet and beats the living daylights out of the husband.
By the time West Valley City police swoop to the rescue, the husband is covered in his own blood. He's eventually taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation.
It's a typical night for West Valley City Police Department patrol officers serving residents in the state's second-largest city, where assaults were among the most common type of crime in 2012.
But recent controversy in the department has put officers under intense scrutiny. Despite the unexpected adversity, they are determined to protect the public and continue to do their police work.
Navigating the perfect storm • Officers in the 190-member department suddenly find themselves under a critical eye from federal investigators to city mayoral candidates.
It's not unexpected attention after the department's Neighborhood Narcotics Unit was disbanded and nine of its officers were placed on leave. The news came amid state and federal probes into allegations of malfeasance, racial profiling and corruption after the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old woman during an alleged drug bust.
State and federal prosecutors have dismissed more than 125 cases involving narcotics unit members.
The department was additionally crippled by unexpected staffing shortages, which resulted in reductions in the popular Community Services Section, which generates many of the positive interactions between police and community members.
Then there are the plethora of candidates running for city office on the vague promise to "fix" the department, which has no chief after the sudden retirement of its longtime leader.
The latest incident to garner public attention surfaced last week, when an officer, not linked to the narcotics unit, was accused of stealing 22 morphine pills from a deceased cancer patient during a police call.
But despite everything, members of the force said at the department's core are a number of exceptional officers who are dedicated to the community they serve and determined to restore trust in even the most suspicious of minds.
"We always feel horrible when someone wearing the same uniform as us makes some bad choices," said Officer Jeff McNees, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, West Valley City Lodge, speaking in general of departmental issues. "We know it's going to take 100 good things to make up for that officer doing that one bad thing."
But he said officers are up for the challenge.
"We're the front line out there dealing with the public," McNees said. "If you can't go out there with a smile and treat people well, then you need to probably find something else to do."
Praise from within • Despite the current troubles, many longtime residents stand behind their department, choosing to focus on the good that has happened through the years rather than the negatives of the past few months.
"We are still getting some pretty positive feedback from the public," McNees said. "Especially from the long-term citizens. I've been pretty surprised about how positive they've been."
Those good interactions, said resident Renee Layton, who operates a Neighborhood Watch group, are often understated and don't gain the same attention as allegations of corruption.
"I get fired up," she said of the criticism against the department. "I just get so upset. People … they have no idea how much our officers really do care. It's the actions of a few that get more attention, than do the quiet acts of service that go beyond their jobs."
Many of her pleasant interactions have come with officers connected to the Community Services Section, which helps groups run Neighborhood Watch programs and promotes crime prevention.
She said officers have come on their own time to help her neighborhood, whether with graffiti removal or to enforce speed limits.
"It's sad because there are so many officers that are amazing that take time to care about the individual neighborhoods and people," she said. "And that care about the relationships between the police department and the residents. So much negativity takes away from all the good that happens."
Layton is disappointed that the section's staffing has been severely cut, though she understands the limitations the department faces.
"I have hope and faith that they will resolve the way community services was done before," Layton said. "It fostered relationships between the community and the police department, which I think is essential because [it fostered trust]."
West Valley City Deputy Chief Mike Powell said the department will bring that unit back up to full staffing levels as soon as possible.
"The Community Services Section is a very important unit," he said. "It's very important in having that relationship with the community."
But sudden staff drops necessitated the reduction to the unit so those officers could be shifted to street patrol.
As of Wednesday, the department had 10 staff vacancies, not including the nine narcotics unit officers who remain on paid leave. The department already has hired 14 more during the past four months, who are now starting to hit the pavement, Powell said.
The department, he added, had the best applicant pool in years when it closed in May.
"This last application period we were very, very pleased with the number, and I'd definitely say the quality of applicants."
McNees said one of the department's strengths is that no matter how short staffed, it ensures officers are fully trained before sending them out.
Making it work • West Valley City is arguably one of the toughest Utah cities to patrol.
McNees said officers answer about three times as many calls for service as the next-busiest department.
Then there's the large socioeconomic divide. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2011, more than 20 percent of residents were living below the poverty line (the statewide average was about 10 percent).
Drug crimes were among the most prevalent offenses in 2012, a Salt Lake Tribune analysis found. Perhaps fed by the poverty rates and drugs, reports of thefts both vehicle and other types were common, as were vandalism offenses.
A deep-seated pride in West Valley City and the department has prompted many officers to hang in there, McNees said. "We-can-do-more-with-less mentality it makes a pretty strong bond."
That connection, he emphasized, doesn't extend deep enough to cover up wrongdoing in the department.
Most recently, a West Valley City officer turned in a colleague for allegedly stealing pills from a deceased man.
"It's not the blue veil of secrecy," McNees said. "I have to feed my family. If you're going to put me in the position where that is put in jeopardy, don't expect me to lie for you. That is the 99 percent rule. The rule is that if somebody has put you in that position, you're the one that is going to be accepted by your peers for telling the truth."
Quelling the critics • Accolades aren't only coming from within the city's boundaries.
Despite what could be seen as an antagonistic relationship after the dismissal of 120-odd cases linked to the narcotics unit, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said overall the city's police department is "doing very well" when removing the now-disbanded drug squad from the equation.
"They go out there and put their life in harm's way and go out there and do their job ethically and responsibly and by the rules," he said, "and they need to be commended for it."
Gill said those dismissed cases aside, the department files cases just as solid as the rest in his purview, remains professional toward his staff and responds to subpoenas with the same frequency as other departments.
"They're responding very professionally and competently," he said, "and there has not been a slippage in quality or a noticeable difference."
Another outspoken critic of the department has been Tony Yapias, director of Proyecto Latino de Utah, who represented minority groups in a meeting between a division of the Justice Department and WVCPD.
"We're satisfied," Yapias said, "that the everyday traffic cop or police officer who's out there on the streets is doing a good job."
But with a large minority population and potential language barriers of the city's 2011 population of 117,274, about 40 percent of West Valley City residents said they spoke a language other than English (many of those said they spoke English less than "very well") Yapias said the department needs to continue to be inclusive. That includes following through on a pledge to translate more police documents such as officer-complaint forms into Spanish, Yapias said. (That's currently underway, Powell said.)
"Not every police officer there is a bad apple," Yapias said. "If there is a bad apple there, they're going to take care of that. They've made a commitment to do that. As residents, we need to make sure we identify those bad apples."

Probably could I suppose. Dont think any fighters would like to be the face of an AIDS test though!
Atleast the skanks at the after party would know the fighters were clean. More chance catching something nasty after fighting than in the ring.
i'm aware of the pro's for this.......
Seperate note i was once told if u have an aids test it can severly increase ur life insurance or reduce chance of cover as u are seen to be of risk taking nature?
stupid but someone in the insurance industry could clear this urban legend up for me. got tested along time back, would have one again if an org. asked for it happily, just hope its via a needle and not....... THE SWAB!!!!!!
Smile Or Go Home.
i am guessing it would be down to the fighter to produce the relevant paperwork before the fight. It wouldnt be down to the promotion, obviously other rules would be in place about unable to make the fight , being fines for not having the completed paperwork, this could go down as a loss, etc etc. maybe the governing body would fine the promoter if all these are not in place, who knows. I will check the BBBC rules to see what they have in it ref scans and stuff.
Trouble is you cant just have one rule, you need to have many to police such a thing
If you need a friend, get a dog !
if this could be done through NHS for all fighters, it would be a great idea
I dont fight yet, but would be happy to take a test any time, no question
for my own safety as much as other fighters
think of it this way... my gym have a cage that is hired out to promoters, all it would take is for one speck of blood from an infected fighter to be on the canvas, corner post, fence, or whatever, this could potentially infect everyone who comes in contact with the blood
if everyone had tests, this would never happen

I have all Pro fighters tested on Fight Ikon events. I am proud to say that I believe my show was the first to do this in the UK other than the UFC; although many others also do now. The risk of transfer of infections in blood increases massively when you have ground n pound, especially with elbows. Standing fighting blood is exiting a wound and difficult to enter but when above someone dripping on their eyes/face or other open cuts etc. the risk increases a lot.
You can have a free test at clinics or some charge between £30-50. I use a private clinic and have testing kits that we can organise ourselves for very little cost. Results are back within 2 days and are completely confidential so do not go on your medical record or effect your insurance in any way.
I believe all pro fights should have these, the UK is massively behind on this compared to other parts of Europe. In the USA I believe fighter tests including CAT & CT scans can cost around £800 just to be eligable to fight and the fighter (or their sponsors) usually bear the costs. Tests for HIV and Hep B & C cost very little if anything. Once you have a clear test certificate it is valid for 12 months in most organisations.
I have had fighters tell me they think it is a waste of time but when I ask them this 1 question the usually see my point: Would you take a fight with somebody if you knew they had HIV?
100% needed imo. lol at jose969's mortgage comment, explain!

On PBS, Brooks described Bush's whitewashing of Iraq war history as "accurate"
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
During the Public Broadcasting Service's coverage of President Bush's January 10 prime-time address, New York Times columnist David Brooks asserted that Bush's "description of how we got here -- the Samarra bombing [of a very prominent Shiite mosque by Al Qaeda in Iraq in February 2006] and all of that ... was the accurate, right description," and it was "[r]ealistic." But Bush's short historical summary -- which suggested that U.S. efforts in Iraq were succeeding up until shortly after the December 15, 2005, Iraqi elections -- was neither "accurate" nor "realistic." In fact, while the Iraqi situation has significantly worsened since the Samarra bombing, the violence there was already substantial and rising at the time of the December 15, 2005, Iraqi elections. Indeed, 2,152 U.S. troops had been killed in Iraq as of that date.
At the beginning of his speech, Bush presented the following account of recent events in Iraq:
BUSH: When I addressed you just over a year ago, nearly 12 million Iraqis had cast their ballots for a unified and democratic nation. The elections of 2005 were a stunning achievement. We thought that these elections would bring the Iraqis together, and that as we trained Iraqi security forces we could accomplish our mission with fewer American troops.
But in 2006, the opposite happened. The violence in Iraq -- particularly in Baghdad -- overwhelmed the political gains the Iraqis had made. Al Qaeda terrorists and Sunni insurgents recognized the mortal danger that Iraq's elections posed for their cause, and they responded with outrageous acts of murder aimed at innocent Iraqis. They blew up one of the holiest shrines in Shia Islam -- the Golden Mosque of Samarra -- in a calculated effort to provoke Iraq's Shia population to retaliate. Their strategy worked. Radical Shia elements, some supported by Iran, formed death squads. And the result was a vicious cycle of sectarian violence that continues today.
As Media Matters for America noted, in late November to mid-December of 2005, in response to falling public approval of Bush's handling of Iraq, the Bush administration released a "National Strategy for Victory," and Bush gave a series of four speeches in which he touted progress there. Even then, several news reports noted that Bush's characterizations of the situation in Iraq were misleading. For example, in a December 7, 2005, article, The Washington Post reported that "others involved in assessing Iraq argue the president's portrayal is, at best, too rosy":
"Progress is running far behind Iraqi expectations in virtually every area," said Wayne White, head of the State Department's Iraq intelligence team from 2003 to 2005 and now an adjunct scholar at the Middle East Institute. "In their view, most Iraqis are not seeing 'amazing progress.' All too many of them live in constant danger, with less electricity in many areas than under Saddam Hussein."
In a December 8, 2005, article, The New York Times reported that "[a] major problem with assessing the progress in Iraq is that it is too dangerous to allow visitors to visit the projects freely, said Rick Barton of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. 'I bet if we could get around and see these places that they would not be the story that he's telling,' he said. 'And I think he'd be shocked to see the story he's being fed.' " On the same day, the Los Angeles Times further reported (purchase required) that, in November 2005, one Iraqi city whose progress Bush had touted, Mosul, "was judged too dangerous for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to fly over in a helicopter -- much less to drive on its streets -- during her brief visit to a U.S. military base near the city."
A total of 2,152 U.S. troops had died by the December 15, 2005, Iraqi elections. As of January 9, 2007, 858 more U.S. deaths have been confirmed by the Department of Defense.
According to data compiled by the Brookings Institution, there was an average of 90 to 100 daily attacks by insurgents and militias from October through December 2005, and an average of 75 in January and February 2006. From August 29, 2005, through February 10, 2006, attacks by insurgents and militias averaged around 550 per week, up from about 475 between February 12 and August 28, 2005. A one-page classified U.S. Central Command slide reportedly shown at an October 18, 2006, briefing placed Iraq's "Index of Civil Conflict" prior to the Samarra mosque bombing at just over halfway from "peace" to "chaos." The slide was published in the November 1, 2006, edition of The New York Times.
Also, regarding the training of Iraqi troops, Media Matters pointed out that the number of Iraqi battalions capable of operating independently had dropped from three in June 2005 to none in February 2006, according to the Pentagon. In June 2005, senior U.S. commanders disclosed that, of the 107 Iraqi battalions formed at the time, three had achieved "Level 1" status, indicating their capability to plan and conduct independent operations. On September 29, 2005, however, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the top U.S. commander in Iraq, informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that this number had dropped to one battalion. Pentagon officials stated on February 24, 2006, that the number of Level 1 battalions had fallen to zero.
In addition, as Media Matters noted, the Iraq Study Group wrote that there is "significant underreporting of the violence in Iraq." According to the commission, the Defense Department "standard" for recording acts of violence functions "as a filter to keep events out of reports and databases," and commented that "[g]ood policy is difficult to make when information is systematically collected in a way that minimizes its discrepancy with policy goals."
From the 9 p.m. ET hour of PBS' January 10 coverage of Bush's speech:
LEHRER: What do you think of the strategy that the president outlined?
BROOKS: Well, first, I thought the speech was appropriately sober and I thought the description of how we got here -- the Samarra bombing and all of that -- was pretty much -- was the accurate, right description.
LEHRER: Realistic?
BROOKS: Realistic description of what's happened.

As music writers, we search for connections between musicians, no matter how threadbare.
For example, up-and-coming folk-rock band Delta Rae has appeared on "The Tonight Show" two times since its debut album was released last summer, and Branford Marsalis was once the bandleader of "The Tonight Show."
Another slim connection: Delta Rae band members and Marsalis live in Durham, N.C.
But the best connection is that both will headline in Utah within the next week: Delta Rae will make its Utah debut on Park City's Eccles Center stage on Saturday, while Marsalis will return to Utah with his famed collection of saxophones and three other top-flight musicians on Tuesday.
Delta Rae's Eric Hölljes and Marsalis talked to The Tribune about Durham, their bands and not a lick about Jay Leno.
Delta Rae • This live-wire band with four lead singers was signed to a major-label deal by the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Seymour Stein, vice president of Warner Bros. Records and a co-founder of Sire Records.
The sextet began as a band of literal brothers, Eric and Ian Hölljes, who performed as a duo while attending Duke University. They enlisted their younger sister, Brittany Hölljes, and then asked another singer, Elizabeth Hopkins, to join the band.
"Our vision was that you can do something powerful with four voices that you can't do with three voices," Eric Hölljes said. "Each of the voices has a unique quality. Elizabeth has a raspy, old-soul voice that we loved and wanted to write for."
Mike McKee, on percussion, and Grant Emerson, on bass, joined the fold in 2010. McKee doesn't just drum on a regular old kit he also has a penchant for banging on trash cans, which adds an earthy, dynamic aspect to the often lusty and always robust harmonizing. "I didn't see trash-can drumming coming," Hölljes admitted, but it works.
Hölljes, who began studying electrical engineering until surrendering to the big questions of philosophy at Duke, wasn't interested in Duke's acclaimed School of Music. "Any time music becomes too structured, I lose interest," he said.
The matriarch of the Hölljes family was born and raised in Durham, and that's where the band now lives. For a long time, Durham was considered "the always-neglected child" of the triangle of North Carolina cities Chapel Hill and Raleigh, Eric Hölljes said. But now Durham, known as "Bull City," has an up-and-coming music scene, he said. "Downtown is really starting to come alive," he said. "Durham is now on the map."
Besides Marsalis and Delta Rae, the scene includes popular bands and musicians such as Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Mountain Goats, and Megafaun; members of Superchunk, Chatham County Line and the Avett Brothers also live in Durham.
Branford Marsalis • The saxophonist and bandleader of the Branford Marsalis Quartet grew up in Louisiana and has lived on both coasts.
But nearly a decade ago, Marsalis picked up his family and moved again to the South, where he appreciates the small-town vibe of Durham and neighbors who say hello. "New York and Los Angeles are the same place, with a slightly different smell," he said.
It wasn't until around 1999, when he was nearly 40, that Marsalis said he became serious about studying his craft. "I was just living off my talent," he said. He had just finished a stint touring with Sting, where people would tell him that he was an amazing player. But it wasn't until he started poking his head into jazz and classical circles that he was told the truth. "They told me I was terrible, and 'You suck,' " Marsalis said.
Since then, he plays the saxophone every day (instead of once a month, which was his practice) and has assembled a quartet that features Joey Calderazzo on piano, Eric Revis on bass and young Justin Faulkner on drums.
Faulkner is headstrong and thinks highly of himself, Marsalis said, but added that "it's rare to find a person that young with such an extraordinary talent." When the drummer joined the band three years ago, each of the three other members gave him a list of things he needed to work on. "Over a period of two years, he addressed everything we had on our lists," Marsalis said.
But setting aside minor squabbles, Faulkner's talent has elevated the band. "We always play with an incredible intensity," Marsalis said. "[But] we had to relearn to match his intensity."
The most recent album from the quartet is "Four MF's Playin' Tunes,"and the remarkable aspect is that this record has two originals by each of the three veterans of the band. Marsalis said he always wants to record music from the best of what is out there, regardless of who wrote it. In music, as in football, a quarterback might get the credit and glory, but the on-field generals are only great when they have a great offensive line.
"You can't have a band unless they are equals. Mathematics says you can't write 10 great songs [for one album]," said Marsalis, before adding: "Stevie Wonder did it once."
Calderazzo and Revis have played with Marsalis for years. But then there's his road manager and sound engineer, who have worked with him 27 and 22 years, respectively. "I guess it means I'm not as much a jerk as people say I am," he joked.
Get ready, Utah. Bull City is coming to Salt Lake and Park City, and Delta Rae and Branford Marsalis have another thing in common: They're both known to bring the noise in electrifying live shows.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 7 of the Act entitled "An Act to provide for a per capita distribution of Menominee tribal funds and authorize the withdrawal of the Menominee Tribe from Federal jurisdiction", approved June 17, 1954 (68 Stat. 250), is amended to read as follows:
"SEC. 7. The tribe shall as soon as possible and in no event later than December 31, 1957, formulate and submit to the Secretary a plan for the future control of the tribal property and service functions now conducted by or under the supervision of the United States, including, but not limited to, services in the fields of health, education, welfare, credit, roads, and law and order, and for all other matters involved in the withdrawal of Federal supervision. The Secretary is authorized to provide such reasonable assistance as may be requested by officials of the tribe in the formulation of the plan heretofore referred to, including necessary consultations with representatives of Federal departments and agencies, officials of the State of Wisconsin and political subdivisions thereof, and members of the tribe: Provided, That the responsibility of the United States to furnish all such supervision and services to the tribe and to the members thereof, because of their status as Indians, shall cease on December 31, 1958, or on such earlier date as may be agreed upon by the tribe and the Secretary. The plan shall contain provision for protection of the forest on a sustained yield basis, and for the protection of the water, soil, fish and wildlife. To the extent necessary, the plan shall provide for such terms of transfer pursuant to section 8 of this Act, by trust or otherwise, as shall insure the continued fulfillment of the plan. The Secretary, after approving the plan, shall cause the plan to be published in the Federal Register. The sustained yield management requirement contained in this Act shall not be construed by any court to impose a financial liability on the United States."
Section 8 of such Act of June 17, 1954, is amended to read as follows:
