CHICAGO, IL, February 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Last Thursday, February 16, 2012, The House of Blues in Chicago, IL featured hometown hip hop artist Nick Carter Green. The nearly sold out crowd rocked to the rhythms of jazz, funk, and rap as Green was backed by legendary percussionist Kahil El'Zabar. El'Zabar, also a Chicago native who has worked with Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie and Paul Simon, called the show "a conversion of generations to celebrate the power of soul through hip hop."

Opening with his remix to Drake's "Headlines", which went viral on World Star Hip Hop back in the Fall, Green set a party tone for his 40-minute set. It was the performance of "Remember Me" from Green's explosive mixtape XIX that featured the accompaniment from El'Zabar and his band. Fans came from across the country and Canada to see Nick Carter Green perform. Patrons of the show had nothing but praise for the budding young artist and record executives watched and applauded in admiration and interest.

The Going Green College Tour is presently in the works and set to kick off in September 2012. Green's debut single from his yet untitled album will be available this summer. Subscribe at www.NickCarterGreen.com to stay updated on the latest music and tour information.

Genetic variants affect arsenic metabolism and toxicity in Bangladesh

2012-02-24

A large-scale genomic study conducted in Bangladesh has discovered genetic variants that control arsenic metabolism and elevate the risk of skin lesions in people chronically exposed to arsenic. In PLoS Genetics, researchers from the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research in Bangladesh, and the University of North Carolina report that genetic variants found near the enzyme for metabolizing the chemical into a less toxic form are associated with an individual's risk of developing arsenic-related disease. Since ...

For fish, fear smells like sugar

2012-02-24

When one fish gets injured, the rest of the school takes off in fear, tipped off by a mysterious substance known as "Schreckstoff" (meaning "scary stuff" in German). Now, researchers reporting online on February 23 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology have figured out what that scary stuff is really made of. Within that chemical brew is a special type of sugar found in abundance in fish skin. When a fish is wounded, fragments of the sugar known as chondroitin sulfate alarm other fish nearby. "Our results provide a solution to a 70-year-old puzzle: the nature of ...

Disarming the botulinum neurotoxin

2012-02-24

LA JOLLA, Calif., February 23, 2012 – Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) and the Medical School of Hannover in Germany recently discovered how the botulinum neurotoxin, a potential bioterrorism agent, survives the hostile environment in the stomach on its journey through the human body. Their study, published February 24 in Science, reveals the first 3D structure of a neurotoxin together with its bodyguard, a protein made simultaneously in the same bacterium. The bodyguard keeps the toxin safe through the gut, then lets go as the ...

Plastic Surgeon Comments on Tummy Tuck Advancements

2012-02-24

It's 2012, which for the plastic surgery industry means more advancements than ever before. While groundbreaking technology and the emergence of new surgical techniques are exciting, potential patients should be sure that these innovations are time-tested before seriously considering them. A tummy tuck surgeon in Birmingham, Dr. Michael Beckenstein, stresses that patients should choose a surgeon based on the doctor's qualifications and experience with a particular procedure, and not just because he or she offers the "latest and greatest" treatments. "As ...

Study: Evolution of earliest horses driven by climate change

2012-02-24

When Sifrhippus, the earliest known horse, first appeared in the forests of North America more than 50 million years ago, it would not have been mistaken for a Clydesdale. It weighed in at around 12 pounds -- and it was destined to get much smaller over the ensuing millennia. Sifrhippus lived during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a 175,000-year interval of time some 56 million years ago in which average global temperatures rose by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, caused by the release of vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and oceans. About a third of mammal ...

Genetic risk for elevated arsenic toxicity discovered

2012-02-24

One of the first large-scale genomic studies conducted in a developing country has discovered genetic variants that elevate the risk for skin lesions in people chronically exposed to arsenic. Genetic changes found near the enzyme for metabolizing the chemical into a less toxic form can significantly increase an individual's risk for developing arsenic-related disease. The discovery could point the way to new screening and intervention options for people who are exposed to groundwater with high levels of arsenic, said scientists at the University of Chicago Medicine, Columbia ...

Italian vineyards invaded from North America by new species of leafminer

2012-02-24

Since in 2006 an unknown leafmining moth was found in North Italian vineyards by Mario Baldessari and colleagues, often in great numbers, scientists have tried to put a name to this apparently new invader. Italian scientists from the Fondazione Edmund Mach di San Michele all'Adige and the Università di Padova turned for help to taxonomists in the Netherlands and United States. The new species was described in the open access journal ZooKeys. The family to which the moth belongs, the shield bearing leafminers (Heliozelidae) appeared to be poorly studied in North America, ...

Breaking down cancer's defense for future vaccines

2012-02-24

Researchers at the EPFL have identified an important mechanism that could lead to the design of more effective cancer vaccines. Their discovery of a new-found role of the lymphatic system in tumour growth shows how tumours evade detection by using a patient's own immune system. Tumour cells present antigens or protein markers on their surfaces which make them identifiable to the host immune system. In the last decade, cancer vaccines have been designed that work by exposing the patient's immune cells to tumour-associated antigens and so priming them to kill cells that ...
