Matthew Trainor, MD, Nephrologist
Chronic kidney disease is a silent epidemic
affecting more than 26 million adults in the United States. Factors that
increase the risk of kidney injury include high blood pressure, diabetes,
heart disease, and a family history of kidney disease. Kidney disease often
develops without noticeable signs or symptoms; however, with early detection
it is possible to prevent progression to renal failure. Join nephrologist
Dr.Trainor as he explains how to detect and manage kidney disease and avoid
serious complications. Marlborough Hospital, Leahy Conference Center, 157

discussion on the causes of incontinence and innovative incontinence
treatment options. Marlborough Hospital, Leahy Conference Center, 157 Union
Street, Marlborough. Reservations are required, and seating is limited. Call

COMET TAIL: Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3) is
approaching Earth and putting on a good show for amateur astronomers.
Yesterday, Feb. 4th, observers witnessed a "disconnection event." A gust of
solar wind tore off part of the comet's tail in plain view of backyard
telescopes. Photos of the event are featured on today's edition of
http://spaceweather.com. Activity in
the comet's tail and atmosphere will become even easier to see in the weeks
ahead as Lulin nears closest approach on Feb. 24th. At that time the comet
will lie only 38 million miles from Earth and it should be visible to the
naked eye. In the meantime, please note that Feb. 5th-7th, is an especially
good time to find Comet Lulin in the pre-dawn sky. The comet is gliding
beautifully close to the naked-eye double star Zubenelgenubi. Just point
your binoculars at the double star and the comet will materialize right
beside it. Visit http://spaceweather.com
for photos, sky maps and more information.

communities, and their continuing ties to their homeland.
The broadcast can be heard at 1 pm on 68.5 AM radio.

"Keepers of Tradition: Art and Folk Heritage in
Massachusetts"
Extended Through June 7, 2009!
|
|
The
Museum, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Cultural
Council (MCC), is pleased to announce it is extending
"Keepers of Tradition: Art and Folk Heritage in
Massachusetts" through June 7, 2009. "The exhibition has
been hugely popular with visitors," said Hilary Anderson
Stelling, Director of Collections and Exhibitions, "and when
the opportunity to extend the show presented itself, we
didn't hesitate. We are very grateful to the artists for
allowing us to display these treasures a bit longer."
"Keepers of Tradition" features
more than 100 works by 70 Massachusetts artists who preserve
and revitalize deeply rooted traditions. Reflecting the
populace of Massachusetts, their art takes many expressive
forms-from Native American basketry to Yankee wooden boats,
Armenian lace, Chinese seals, Puerto Rican santos, and Irish
music and dance. These keepers of tradition are recognized
in their communities as outstanding practitioners of craft,
music, dance, and sacred arts. Yet much of this work is
hidden to the public at large, remaining essentially unknown
beyond the local community in which it flourishes.
More information about the
exhibition, including an audio tour, can be found at the
Museum's
web site. The official MCC web site for the show can be
found at
www.massfolkarts.org.

Southborough Business News
Marcone Capital arranges $6.4 million financing
for entity controlled by Shahbazi
Southborough, MA Mike Marcone of Marcone Capital, Inc. has arranged the
permanent financing of 333 and 337 Turnpike St., consisting of two office
buildings totaling 76,502 s/f.
Both buildings are located next to each other
and benefit from a location near Rte. 9 and Rte. 495.
Both office buildings are two stories and
consist of 39,774 s/f and 36,728 s/f of net leasable area respectively.
Major tenants include Visiting Nursing Association (VNA), New England Home
Therapies, Becker College, and the Massachusetts Restaurant Association.
The property was acquired by the owner in
February 2007. At the time of acquisition the property was only 41% leased
with most of the vacancy contained in the 337 Turnpike St. building, which
was in need of renovation. Since acquisition, the borrower has spent
$900,000 on renovating the property. Today, the total property occupancy is
close to 80%.
The property is owned by Southborough Equity
Partners, LLC, an entity controlled by Kambiz Shahbazi, who is also the
owner of KS Partners, LLC, a real estate holding company.
The financing was provided by a regional bank.
According to Marcone "Despite the more
challenging credit market, given the quality and location of the property
combined with the strong sponsorship, the lender was able to provide a very
flexible loan structure at a truly superior interest rate."
Marcone Capital is a mortgage banking and real
estate consulting firm.

Exhibit: Collage: Process and Product
March 13th - April 10th
Opening Reception March 13th 7-9pm
This exhibit explores the rich and unique art
medium of collage. Collage includes pasted
papers, altered books, mixed media, assemblage
and so much more.
The title of this exhibit refers to two diverse
ways of making art. One way to approach
creating a new piece of art is to immerse
oneself in the artistic process, whatever that
may be: painting, pasting, assembling, cutting,
drawing, etc. Works created this way emerge
from the use of materials and the artist does
not start with a preconceived notion of what the
end product will be. The other approach when
creating a new work is to start with a
preconceived idea of what the piece will be or
mean and work the processes to that end. Each
of these are viable ways of working and the
artists in this exhibit employ both techniques
in creating their art. The result is a
wonderful array of diverse and beautiful art
that shows the unique talents of each artist.
Participating in the show are the following
artists:
Kathleen Hendrick,
Joan Loewenberg, Amy Rubin, Nyia Yanatos,Ted
Todd, Amelia Todd, Donna Kaplan, Caroline
Bowden, Betsy Beninger, Michele Kweder,

Photoshop Basics II Workshop
Sunday March 8th, 1-4pm, $40
w/ Michelle Sheppard
This one-day workshop will expand on the basics of
Photoshop and dig deeper into the photo editing
process. Learn the foundations of image correction,

time to address questions that arise as one learns
to navigate digital imaging through Photoshop.
Laptop with Photoshop is required.

Rescheduled
Watercolor Collage Workshop
w/ artist Crist Filer
Sunday March 22nd
10am-3pm at Arts Center, $45
Our last attempt at this workshop was doomed by a
snow storm. So, once again, we are pleased to
present artist Crist Filer. His sharp edged graphic
artwork, using both wet-in-wet and dry brush
techniques, provides and exhilarating experience of
design and color.
This workshop will be engaging and useful to both
those who have created collage before along with
those who may have wanted to explore collage but
lacked a creative "entry portal."
Expect to dive into the discovery and development of
Filer's unique collage approach. Participants will
take one of their own "failed" or disappointing
watercolors (or any painting on paper) and dissect
it in order to rebuild it into a new work of art.
Attendees, using the guidelines and suggestions
will plan and critically think about their collage.
Filer will lead an informal critique through out the
workshop. Most of the day will entail accomplishing
the collage and broadening the creative scope of the
collage process.

Slip Sliding Away Again
February 3, 2009 - A van struck a telephone
pole outside of St. Mark's Golf Course shortly after the snow started to
fall this afternoon. |
|
Winter weather advisory in
effect from 9 am this morning to 3 am est. Wednesday
The NWS in taunton has issued a winter weather advisory for snow, which is
in effect from 9 am this morning to 3 am est. Wednesday.
This advisory is for northern Connecticut, all of Rhode Island, and much of
Massachusetts, except for the far northwestern and southeastern portions.
Light snow will continue to develop this morning, and possibly become
moderate later this morning and this afternoon. Occasional light to moderate
snow will continue through this evening before tapering off and ending after
midnight. The exact amount of snowfall will be determined by how far west
the heavier precipitation associated with the offshore low progresses. Our
best estimation for storm total snowfall, spanning the 24 hour period ending
late tonight, is 2 to 5 inches, with locally higher amounts of 7 or 8 inches
possible. Highest amounts are expected across Rhode Island and eastern
Massachusetts. Some blowing and drifting is expected, especially during the
afternoon hours today.
There is still some uncertainty with the exact track of the storm, and this
results in some uncertainty with final snowfall accumulations. If the low
tracks closer to the coast today, then slightly more snowfall would be
expected. If the low tracks further to the east, slightly less snowfall will
likely occur. Regardless of low track and exact snowfall amounts, the late
afternoon and evening rush hour will in all likelihood be a slippery one,
with a relatively high probability of snow covered roadways and low
visibilities.
A winter weather advisory is issued when snow and/or ice is forecast to
develop in the affected areas, but accumulations are expected to be light.
Any snow or ice would make driving and walking difficult, but not
impossible, on untreated roadways and sidewalks. When temperatures are below
freezing, motorists need to be especially careful on bridges and overpasses
where slippery spots can easily develop.
