Ryan Anthony is a trumpet player, most notable for his performances as a member of Canadian Brass, has had his performances used in many broadcasts of major U.S. television networks.

History

He studied violin as a child until he finally began trumpet at age seven. His first instrument was his grandfather's old cornet and he performed "Amazing Grace" that Sunday at church.

Over the next ten years, Ryan would grow in his ability to a prodigious level. He won the General Motors/Seventeen magazine concerto competition at the age of 16. At age seventeen, he caught the attention of Canadian Brass players in a local workshop. He played right alongside Fred Mills on "Handful of Keys" by Fats Waller. Chuck Dallenbach, founder of the Canadian Brass, never forgot this moment as he recounts on the CB website.

Ryan's solo in "Farewell" was also heard on the theme song to NBC's "Must See TV" in 1998.

After his education at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM), he was awarded the trumpet professorship at Oberlin Conservatory, where he stayed until 2000.

More recent activities

In 2000, Ryan was offered an opportunity to play in the Canadian Brass. He set off on tour with them later that year. He played in the Brass for three years. During this time, he was awarded the alumni achievement award from the CIM. He then left the group to pursue a solo career and to spend more time with his family. He still performs with them occasionally, however, along with performances in other venues across the country. In 2005, he released his first official solo CD. Ryan presently serves as Principal Trumpet for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Elizabeth Warren (born Elizabeth Herring; June 22, 1949) is an American attorney and law professor. She served as Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She is also the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where she has taught contract law, bankruptcy, and commercial law. In the wake of the 2008-2011 financial crisis, she became the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the U.S. banking bailout (formally known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program). She long advocated for the creation of a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010. As the special advisor she worked on implementation of the CFPB.

On May 24, 2010, ''Time'' magazine called Warren, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Sheila Bair, and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro the "New Sheriffs of Wall Street" in a cover story. On September 17, 2010, she was named a special adviser by President Obama to oversee the development of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The position included the responsibility of recommending a director for this new entity. She was not chosen for the post, with Obama instead nominating Richard Cordray, prior to congressional approval. On August 18, 2011, she launched an exploratory committee for the Massachusetts United States Senate seat currently held by Scott Brown.

Personal life

Elizabeth Warren was born Elizabeth Herring in Oklahoma City, the daughter of Pauline and Donald Herring. At 16, she became a state champion debater. At 19, she married Jim Warren, and transferred from George Washington University to the University of Houston. She earned a B.S. in 1970. Warren went on to study law at the Rutgers School of Law–Newark, where she served as an editor of the Rutgers Law Review, and was one of two female summer associates at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft's Wall Street office. She received her Juris Doctor in 1976. After law school, Warren worked from home, writing wills and doing real estate closings for walk-in clients. She divorced Warren in 1978, and later married Bruce Mann.

She joined Harvard Law School in 1992 as the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. Prior to Harvard, she was the William A. Schnader Professor of Commercial Law at University of Pennsylvania School of Law and also taught at the University of Texas School of Law, University of Houston Law Center, University of Michigan and Rutgers School of Law—Newark.

From 2005-2008, Warren and her law students wrote a blog called Warren Reports, part of Josh Marshall's TPMCafe.

Warren appeared in the documentary film ''Maxed Out'' in 2006, has appeared several times on ''Dr. Phil'' to talk about money and families, has been a guest on ''The Daily Show'', is interviewed frequently on cable news networks, appears in Michael Moore's ''Capitalism: A Love Story'', has appeared on the ''Charlie Rose'' talk show, and has appeared on the ''Real Time With Bill Maher'' talk show. She has also appeared on the PBS show ''NOW''.

Warren is a member of the FDIC's Committee on Economic Inclusion and the Executive Council of the National Bankruptcy Conference. She is the former Vice-President of the American Law Institute and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She served as the Chief Adviser to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission.

Warren is married to Bruce Mann, a legal historian and law professor also at Harvard Law School. She has a daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, with whom she has coauthored two books and several articles, and a son, Alexander Warren. She has taught Sunday School and cites Methodist founder John Wesley as an inspiration.

Popular works

In addition to writing more than 100 scholarly articles and six academic books, Warren has written several best-selling books, including ''All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan'' (ISBN 978-0-7432-6988-9), coauthored with her daughter, Amelia Tyagi.

Warren is also the co-author (with Tyagi) of ''The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke'' (Basic, 2003) (ISBN 978-0-465-09090-7). Warren and Tyagi point out that a fully employed worker today earns less inflation-adjusted income than a fully employed worker did 30 years ago. To increase their income, families have sent a second parent into the workforce. Although families spend less today on clothing, appliances, and other consumption, the costs of core expenses like mortgages, health care, transportation, child care, and taxes have increased dramatically. The result is that, even with two income earners, families no longer save and have incurred greater and greater debt.

In an article in the ''New York Times'', Jeff Madrick said of Warren's book:

}}

In an article in ''Time'' magazine by Maryanna Murray Buechner, "Parent Trap" (subtitled "Want to go bust? Have a kid. Educate same. Why the middle class never had it so bad"), Buechner said of Warren's book:

}}

In 2005, Dr. David Himmelstein and Warren published a study on bankruptcy and medical bills, which claimed that half of all families filing for bankruptcy did so in the aftermath of a serious medical problem. The finding was particularly noteworthy because 75% of those who fit that description had medical insurance. This study was widely cited in academic studies and policy debates, though some have questioned the study's methods and offered alternative interpretations of the data.

TARP oversight

On November 14, 2008, Warren was appointed by United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to chair the five-member Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the implementation of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The Panel releases monthly oversight reports that evaluate the government bailout and related programs.

The Panel's monthly reports under Warren's leadership covered foreclosure mitigation, consumer and small business lending, commercial real estate, AIG, bank stress tests, the impact of TARP on the financial markets, government guarantees, the automotive industry, and many other topics. The Panel has also released special reports on financial regulatory reform and farm loans. For each report, Warren released a video on the Congressional Oversight Panel's website explaining key findings. All reports and videos are available at cop.senate.gov.

In her role as Chair of the Panel, Warren testified many times before House and Senate committees on financial issues.

In an interview at Newsweek, December 7, 2009, titled "Reining in, and Reigning Over, Wall Street" Elizabeth Warren was asked: "''Congress is trying to reform financial regulation, and it can get a little abstract. Where should people focus?''"

She responded:

On July 29, 2011, she left her role with the agency to return to academic life at Harvard Law School. Her departing address indicated how she first became involved: }}

United States Senate election in Massachusetts, 2012

Warren set up an exploratory committee to challenge Scott Brown in his reelection bid for United States Senate.

Recognition

Warren was named one of ''Time Magazine'''s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009 and 2010.

In December 2009, the ''Boston Globe'' named Warren the Bostonian of the Year.

The ''National Law Journal'' has repeatedly named her as one of the fifty most influential female lawyers, and she has been recognized for her work by ''SmartMoney'' magazine, ''Money magazine'', and Law Dragon.

In 2009, the Women's Bar Association of Massachusetts honored her with the Lelia J. Robinson Award.

Warren has been recognized for her dynamic teaching style. In 2009, Warren became the first professor in Harvard's history to win the law school's teaching award twice. The Sacks-Freund Teaching Award was voted on by the graduating class in honor of "her teaching ability, openness to student concerns, and contributions to student life at Harvard." Warren also has won awards from her students at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Michigan, and the University of Houston Law Center.

On August 13, 2010, a rap video by the Main Street Brigade was put on YouTube in an effort to encourage President Obama to nominate Elizabeth Warren as the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

On May 27, 2011, Warren delivered the commencement address for the graduating class of 2011 at the Rutgers School of Law - Newark. She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree and was conferred membership into the Order of the Coif.

Lee Ryan (born 17 June 1983, Chatham, Kent, England) is an English singer-songwriter, actor and member of the British boy band Blue.

Early life

Ryan was born in Chatham, Kent. His parents split up when he was six years old. Ryan mostly lived with his mother, sister Gemma and his grandmother. At the age of 5 it was discovered that he suffered from dyslexia. Ryan attended performing arts schools, including the independent fee-paying theatre schools Sylvia Young Theatre School and Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.

Music career

Blue

Ryan is a member of boy band Blue along with Simon Webbe, Duncan James and Antony Costa. They have sold over 14 million records worldwide. In August 2005, Blue split up to pursue solo careers under the advice of Sir Elton John. Blue reformed on 28 April 2009. Ryan has had three number one hits while with Blue. He had previously co-directed the video for Blue's single "Breathe Easy" which he also wrote.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York city, the group was being interviewed on BBC and, in the midst of it, Ryan commented that "This New York thing is being blown out of proportion" and asked "What about whales? They are ignoring animals that are more important. Animals need saving and that's more important". The other members of the band tried to silence him but Ryan went on.

In April 2009, the group reunited and a Best of Blue Tour was announced. Ryan announced in January 2011 that he was working on an album with Blue to be released later in the year. Blue represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany with the song "I Can", placing 11th overall.

Solo career

Ryan released his first single "Army of Lovers" on 18 July 2005. It debuted at #3 in the UK Singles Chart and hit #1 in Italy. On 1 August 2005, Ryan released his debut album, ''Lee Ryan'', to mixed reviews. The album reached #6 in the UK Album Chart and #3 in Italy. In January 2006, Ryan released his third and final single in the UK "When I Think of You". The song reached #15 in the UK. "Real Love" was used for the end credits of the film ''Ice Age 2: The Meltdown'' which later led to Ryan voicing the part of an elk in the UK version of the film. In late 2005, Dolce & Gabbana signed Ryan up to be the UK face of their new line of clothing.

After the relative success of his first solo album, Ryan started planning his second solo album. The single "Reinforce Love" was released on 10 December 2007. The single was being released for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Clic Sargent, which were the two charities that Ryan was touring for in November and December 2007, with young voices. The album was then postponed, and finally cancelled.

In March 2010, Ryan confirmed that he had signed a new record deal with Geffen Records, due to last until 2013. Later that month, it was announced that Ryan's first album on his new record label, ''Confessions'', was due to be released in October 2010. The first single from the album, "Secret Love", was released as a double A-Side with "I Am Who I Am" on 4 July 2010. The single only managed to peak at #33 on the UK Singles Chart. Following this, it was announced that Geffen were set to drop Ryan from the label, before work on his album had been completed. Ryan announced in January 2011 that there was no deal to release his album.

He appeared in the video for the latest single by a British girlband named Fe-Nix.

Television and theatre

In September 2007, he appeared as one of the contestants in ''Hell's Kitchen''. However he had a row with Marco Pierre White about White's use of the term "pikey", and was fired from the show. In August and September 2008, Ryan also acted alongside Natalie Casey in The Pretender Agenda at The New Players Theatre in London.

Personal life

On 31 December 2007, he was arrested for an assault on a taxi driver in Oxted, Surrey. He was released on bail until February 2008. At Guildford Magistrates' Court on 24 June 2008 he was fined £300. He claimed in court "he felt targeted because he is ' famous' ".

In June 2008, Ryan announced he was engaged to Samantha Miller, a twenty five year old hairdresser, having met on Myspace. Miller later gave birth to their son Rayn on 30 November 2008.

In an interview with the New! magazine on 27 April 2010, Ryan confessed he had threesomes with his bandmate Duncan James, while answering the question about James bisexuality. In that same interview, he tells about his daughter Bluebell, from another women. She's two months older than his son.
