Master of Science In Criminal Justice Administration
Chair of the Graduate program in
Criminal Justice Administration
Hilbert College has built a tremendous record as a leader in criminal justice study in western New York. Our current undergraduate programs in criminal justice, forensic science, and computer security and information assurance enroll over 500 students on an annual basis.
We are now proud to extend our expertise in the criminal justice field with the Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration degree. This program reflects a commitment to quality education and supports the mission, values and vision of Hilbert College.
Students develop skills in management, finance, budgeting, research and challenge their abilities in courses like ethics and organizational development. Graduates of this program will have developed their respective talents to become leaders in the many fields and agencies that comprise the criminal justice system.
Unique to Hilbert, the curriculum has been devised with an ongoing, integrated research project thoughout the program. Unlike most graduate programs that ask for a final semester thesis, the Hilbert program allows a more thorough application of theory and research as it is developed and worked on throughout the program. Challenged by the various coursework along the way, student research will act as a foundation upon which to ground and challenge theory to a practical application, culminating in a final capstone project.
The accelerated cohort model is designed for individuals who are employed full time.
Students take one course at a time and move with a cohort, developing colleagues and friends. Cohorts remain together throughout the eighteen month program, changing a course of study every 5 weeks to complete twelve sessions.
Classes meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00p.m.- 9:00p.m. and Saturdays 9:00a.m - 2:30p.m.
Now enrolling for the cohort beginning August 19, 2015 cohort.
ATTENTION APPLICANTS: If you have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or greater and complete the application process BEFORE July 1, 2015 you will receive a 20% tuition discount off your entire graduate program.

A liquid crystal, electrochromic or other electro-optical material is sandwiched between two glass substrates. An electric field is applied to the electro-optical material to display time and other information on a watch. The lower glass substrate is thinner than the upper substrate so as to create clear displays and to enable the manufacture of a thin watch which is also light weight and shock resistant.
1. An electro-optical watch display cell having an electro-optic material selected from the group consisting of the liquid crystal, electrochromic, and other electro-optical types, said cell having an upper glass substrate and a lower glass substrate, said upper and lower glass substrates sandwiching said electro-optical material thereinbetween, said glass substrates arranged and configured such that said upper substrate supports said electro-optical display cell in said watch, and wherein said lower glass substrate is sufficiently thin so as to substantially reduce the formation of undesired shadow images.
2. The electro-optical watch display cell according to claim 1 wherein said display cell is arranged in the shape of a numeral.
3. The electro-optical watch display cell according to claim 1 wherein said display cell is arranged in the shape of a letter.
4. The electro-optical display cel according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of said lower glass substrate is less than 0.4 mm.
5. The electro-optical display cell according to claim 1, wherein, in addition thereto, first and second polarization plates are disposed in said display cell, said first polarization plate disposed above said upper glass substrate and said second polarization plate disposed beneath said lower glass substrate.
6. In a watch, an electro-optical display cell arranged to visually indicate predetermined information, said display cell having a reflector, a bottom polarization plate disposed on said reflector, a lower glass substrate disposed on said polarization plate, a liquid crystal layer disposed on said lower glass substrate, an upper glass substrate disposed on said liquid crystal layer, and a top polarization plate disposed on said upper glass substrate; wherein the improvement comprises said upper glass substrate coupled to said watch and having a thickness sufficient to support the entire display cell and said lower glass substrate being sufficiently thin so as to substantially reduce the formation of undesired shadow images.
7. The electro-optical display cell according to claim 6 wherein said lower glass substrate has a thickness less than 0.4 mm.
8. The electro-optical display cell according to claim 6 wherein said lower glass substrate has a thickness of about 0.3 mm -0.2 mm.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to timepieces, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display cell for a wristwatch.
2. Prior Art
Liquid crystals used in display devices are divided into two varieties, the first being the kind which performs display functions by means of a light scattering effect upon the application of an electric field, and the other being the kind used in recent years which performs display functions by means of a polarization plate having a specific dielectric anisotropy disposed on both surfaces of a liquid crystal cell to polarize the ray of light.
In a timepiece employing a liquid crystal display device, an oscillator, particularly a liquid crystal oscillator, is generally preferred as it is a highly accurate component. Since the liquid crystal oscillator has a generally high oscillation frequency, it normally comprises, besides an oscillator circuit, an integrated circuit for dividing the frequency, a display decoder circuit, an external power switching device, etc. Because of the various components of the oscillator, prior art watches cannot be manufactured sufficiently thin and compact when compared with a mechanical watch. Moreover, when additional devices are to be accommodated in a watch to perform other functions, such as an alarm device, timing devices required for use in sports, and the like, each component part must of necessity be miniaturized because of the large amount of space taken up by the oscillator.
Except for exterior parts of a watch, the liquid crystal display device is the largest component in a watch. Therefore, achieving certain thinness for a liquid crystal display device would enable the manufacture of a compact, thin watch. A sturdy, lightweight, thin device is also desirable since the liquid crystal cell must be periodically changed.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a compact, thin liquid crystal display device suitable for timepieces, particularly wristwatches.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device which produces distinct displays for easy reading.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objectives and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which a presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only, and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional field effect polarizing liquid crystal cell.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the isotropic effect polarizing liquid crystal cell of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal cell shown in FIG. 1, illustrating the entry of a ray of light into the cell and its reflections.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal display cell shown in FIG. 2, illustrating a narrow gap between the reflected rays.
FIG. 5 shows a shadow accompanying a display.
Referring first to FIG. 1, a conventional prior art field effect polarizing liquid crystal cell comprises a top polarization plate 1, an upper glass substrate 2, a liquid crystal layer 3, a lower glass substrate 4, a bottom polarization or deflecting plate 5, and a reflector 6. In such a cell, the glass substrates 2 and 4 are identical in thickness, and the entire cell is held together by the upper glass substrate 2 in combination with the supporting parts 7, 7', 8 and 9.
Inasmuch as the lower glass substrate 4 merely sandwiches the liquid crystal layer 3, the actual strength is needed only for the upper glass substrate 2. For this reason and in accordance with the aforementioned object of making the display device as compact and as thin as possible, the present invention uses a much thinner lower glass substrate than the upper substrate, as shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention showing an isotropic effect polarizing liquid crystal cell, in which a lower glass substrate 10 is fabricated substantially thinner than an upper glass substrate 2, the cell being supported entirely by the comparatively thicker upper glass substrate 2. Such composition not only results in a thinner liquid crystal wristwatch but also results in a lightweight liquid crystal display cell which lessens chances of damage to the supporting parts from shock. Another advantage achieved by the present invention is that the liquid crystal cell produces a clearer, more legible display as described hereinafter. In this particular invention, one can see that identification of the problems, namely, those of size and clarity of display do not point to the simple, yet effective solution. By substantially reducing the thickness of the lower glass substrate 10 without any reduction in the thickness of the upper substrate 2, strength is maintained and the shortcomings of the prior art are overcome.
Referring to FIG. 3, which is a cross sectional view of the conventional liquid crystal cell shown in FIG. 1, an incident ray of light 15 entering the liquid crystal cell is reflected by a typical irregular reflector plate 6. As reflecting ray 12 passes through polarizing liquid crystal layer 3 and polarization plate 5, an electric field is applied to the polarizing liquid crystal layer 3. That portion which received the electric field is displayed as the light is reflected back from reflector plate 6. In this case, the incident ray 15 also creates a ray of light 11 when reflected by the surface of glass substrate 4. Since this ray 11 must also pass through the liquid crystal layer 3, an image created by ray 11 will also appear on display.
This condition is illustrated in FIG. 5, in which an image 16 is a display from the proper ray of light 12, and an image 17 is a shadow created by the unnecessary ray of light 11 reflecting from the surface of glass substrate 4. FIG. 5 shows the numeral "8" as it would appear on the display cell. The shadowed area 17 surrounds part of the numeral tending to obscure it. This obscured area 17 is due to the undesired light ray 11. The presence of this undesired shadow 17 also renders the legitimate display 16 difficult to be read, and the farther away the shadow 17 appears, the harder to read the regular display 16, giving the viewer an unpleasant feeling. Since the unnecessary shadow 17 is caused by a difference in the passage of rays 12 and 11, the present invention minimizes the aforementioned difference by fabricating the lower glass substrate 4 as thin as possible, as shown in FIG. 4. When the thickness of the substrate 4 is less than about 0.4 mm, preferably 0.3 mm -0.2 mm, the unnecessary shadow 17 is practically indistinguishable.
As described above, the liquid crystal display cell of the present invention facilitates the manufacture of a lightweight, thin wristwatch with an improved legibility of displays.
Although this invention has been disclosed and described with reference to a particular embodiment for use in a wristwatch, the principles involved are susceptible of other applications which will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. This invention, therefore, is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiment herein disclosed.

I loved Thanksgiving and all of the multigenerational family time that we had. Not only did we have the blessing of having all 3 of our sons and our daughter in law for Thanksgiving, we had their 90 year old grandmother with us as well. What a treat.
My office is typically busy right before holidays, especially with the onslaught of coughs and colds (thankfully no flu yet) and I have found myself talking to all of my patients and their families about their Thanksgiving. It is fun to hear what everyone had done and a good way to get kids to talk. (Did they travel, what did they eat, what is their favorite Thanksgiving food). It is also really interesting to talk about family traditions. I was seeing a family this week, with their 3 children ages 9, 7, and 4. If you can believe it, their mother was a patient of mine when I first started into practice and she was a teenager. She is a super mother, very hands on, common sense and grounded. Her kids are all adorable. They make being their pediatrician pretty darn easy. So, when I started asking about their Thanksgiving she brought up blessings. She said that this subject had just come up at their house because one of her elementary aged children had asked her if they "were rich?". She said she answered by saying, "yes, we are rich in blessings". When they asked her what this meant she told them that they were "rich with family, friends, food and health" and because of that they were "blessed". When I asked the children about blessings they could all recite why they were blessed. They also added a few more blessings like their pets and teachers. The conversation kept everyone engaged and talking.
What a great way to start off December and the busy holiday season. Let's all remember our blessings.

Jewish Wisdom: Kill Kids
New in the Website
More than once I have commented on the assassination of children by Israel. On December 8, 1983, Yosef Harnoi, a settler from Eilon Moreh, assassinated an eight-year-old girl called Aisha Adnan Al-Bahsh (The Cross of Bethlehem is dedicated to her). He wounded her sister as well. Aisha was in her hometown. Mr. Harnoi was a settler ignoring and violating international law. On October 2, 1985, he was convicted by the Tel Aviv district court of manslaughter and was also found guilty of causing the girl's sister grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to a mere ten years imprisonment and a five-month suspended sentence. The murder claim was rejected on grounds of his alleged epilepsy. He – as all male settlers – had been trained by the army, held a position in the settlements' military protection system, and most important of all, was given gun and ammunitions by the IDF. The government and the army were content with the light punishment. Aisha couldn't react to the sentence and her family was never indemnified for the crime. The indemnification issue is very important. Only if the political and military leaders face the reality of indemnifying their victims and see their ever-growing war-profits diminish, only then will these crimes in Israel end. Israel consistently refuses to pay damages to Arab victims for its actions. However, in 1952, the young State of Israel signed the Reparations Agreement with Germany, in which Germany agreed to indemnify the WWII victims. On July 3, 2009, a 17-year-old girl named Hyam Ayash from the Deir al-Balah Refugee Camp in Gaza was assassinated by the Israeli army.
Lt. Col. Udi ben Moha is a well known Israeli criminal, to the extent he refrains from landing in London for fear of being tried for war crimes or crimes against humanity. Among his actions are the assassinations of Sami Badawi, a child of 13 years and of Tariq Al-Susi, age 12, both on 28 January 2004 in Al-Zaytun, Gaza. All this and more with the blessing of his IDF commanders (the proof of this blessing is in his still being an officer and free).
Rachel Corrie was assassinated by the IDF; her assassin is still protected by the State of Israel.
Other examples exist. I want to invite victims of the Israeli terror to send me all the details they have. I promise to make a memorial page for each victim. It is time to create the Palestinian Yad Vashem, in remembrance of the Jewish Inflicted Palestinian Holocaust.
However, this distressing and unnecessary killings do not stop in the Jewish violence toward others. Recently I commented on the The Saving Shalit Business, where the strange actions of the Israeli government leave no doubt: Shalit freedom is of no consequences; in fact its captivity is much more profitable for the Zionist Deep Pockets' Oligarchy.
There is a very disturbing thing in common to all this events. Jews - from Hollywood to Wall Street – work very hard to portray themselves as people concerned with personal suffering. We are remembered of this during the Holocaust Day and the Remembrance Day - Palmolive-Izkor I recently nicknamed the last. Yet, despite these massive PR events, we can see an ongoing disregard toward the lives of young people, regardless their background. This is a systemic and sick behavior of Jews and Israelis.
Where does this come from? The Talmud is the Pharisaic-Rabbinical interpretation of the Pentateuch. Pharisaic Jews – in other words, all those following rabbis of any denomination – follow the Talmud and not the Bible. The Talmud is full of abominations; claiming violations of children are allowed to Jews and other nonsense. It is full of intentional misinterpretations aimed to allow what is convenient and not what is requested. This is why Jesus said (John 9:40-41): And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
The Talmud is full of such misinterpretations. A key event in the Jewish history – one that defined much of it – is the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22:1-24) in which Abraham is requested by God to sacrifice his son Isaac. After Abraham's Faith is successfully tested, an angel of God stops the event before Isaac is sacrificed. Somehow, even this simple event is twisted by the Jews. Based on it, the sacrificing of the young is widely defined by Jews and Israelis as a righteous event (after all they can rightfully violate the neighbor's daughter and make a new child…) and it became a role-model for Jews along history.
Is this a true teaching? In my talks I often make a simple point: even if you don't know what's going on in the Middle East, you can correctly judge a violent event there. Who is right: a nicely dressed general explaining his crimes on television or his victims? Jesus said: (John 10:11) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. The general didn't die for his sheep: he sent others to die in order for him to survive. Jews and Israelis, from generals to bulldozer drivers, are bad shepherds, misinterpreting the Bible and abusing innocents for their own convenience and profit. This is the real abomination of Netanyahu's Mule.

If the Giants lose at Cincinnati on Sunday and quarterback Eli Manning has another bad day at the office, maybe I will buy into all this talk about Manning being in a slump. But let's no panic because the Giants lost to a good Steelers team. We in the media tend to over react especially when it comes to the Super Bowl Champions. But don't lump me into those who think Manning is in a slump, because in my opinion, that's not the case.

 Press Release-Pushmataha Hospital is starting off the new year by saving lives through blood donation with Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI). All healthy adults, 16 and older,* are encouraged to donate blood from Noon to 6 p.m., on Tuesday, January 17, in the Hospital's new multipurpose room. Blood donors at the Pushmataha Hospital blood drive will receive an OBI ice scraper and free health screenings.
As the second article in my Anti-Bulling series i would like to focus on the main points of bullying and the signs to look for if your child is being bullied or is a bully.
Bullying has been focused into three main points. These points are: Imbalance of Power, Intent to Cause Harm and Repetition.
On Thursday, December 29, 2011 many residents of Pushmataha, Choctaw and McCurtain Counties were saddened to hear of the death of District Judge Willard Driesel. Driesel, 58, passed away after a lengthy battle with several health issues, including cancer, in Tyler, TX on December 11, 2011. Judge Driesel will be remembered by many as a fair and professional administrator to the courts and to many as a true and loyal friend.
At his request, he was cremated. A memorial service took place on Monday, January 2, 2012 in Broken Bow.
Pushmataha Hospital is starting off the new year by saving lives through blood donation with Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI). All healthy adults, 16 and older,* are encouraged to donate blood from Noon to 6 p.m., on Tuesday, January 17, at Antlers Library on 104 S.E. 2nd Street. Blood donors at the Pushmataha Hospital blood drive will receive an OBI ice scraper and free health screenings.
Over the holiday weekend only one individual was taken to jail in Pushmataha County by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for driving while impaired or driving under the influence, and it wasn't a resident of the county.
On December 30, 2011 at approximately 6:35 p.m., Trooper Tommy Allen was traveling north on HWY 271 south of Finley and a black Honda car was traveling the same direction in front of the Trooper. The vehicle was driving very slowly and was swerving from one lane line to the other.
Unemployment in Pushmataha County improved in October from September figures, though more slowly than in previous months, while all but six of the state's 77 counties saw increases in the unemployment rate.
With the New Year just around the corner and resolutions being made, I wanted to urge you to make one that is worthwhile this year. Instead of the typical resolutions (like to loose weight or to stop smoking or drinking, not that those are not important but they usually don't last past January), I would like you to think about making the resolution to help stop bullying.

Fey's Fantastic, But Never The Twain She'll Meet
Michael Sigman: Given the commodification of dissent in corporate America, it's doubtful Fey or anyone else will achieve Twain's trifecta of talent, courage and mass popularity. But worrying about what we can't control will only invite the kind of unhappiness that caused the great man himself to reflect that, "My life has been a series of disasters, most of which never happened."
Google Isn't (Necessarily) Making Us Stupid
Michael Sigman: Contemplative practices like meditation and yoga — the yin to Internet promiscuity's yang — are also on the rise. But my own meditation practice — which facilitates clarity and focus — has benefited incalculably from Buddhist and other spiritual websites, blogs, lectures, readings, videos and guided meditations. And my meditation group's email tree has become an interactive source for ideas, links and information about local events members might otherwise never discover.

PLATTSBURGH - It's a process that's taken almost a decade, but Jason Andrew Torrance has created his first independent feature film. And, it's one he feels viewers will enjoy.
Torrance, a former student at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, is nearing completion on the production of "Melodrama," a dramatic piece he's been working on since the spring of 2002. The film centers around the main character of Tom, a writer who works in a theater. One night, Tom, played by Torrance, storms out of the theater mumbling about not being listened to, and drives home in a rage. Once home, he frantically searches for something among his papers which are strewn about the place. A knock at the door interrupts his hunt and, at first, no one is at the door. There's a second knock, and it's his best friend, Jack, a struggling actor played by Adam Soule, a former SUNY Plattsburgh student from Keeseville.
"What proceeds is a discussion, pleasant at first and then ominous," explained Torrance.
Tom surmises Jack's visit has to do with the incident at the theater, he said, but the subject of the conversation turns to the subject of a woman both seem involved with - Rachel, a character played by both Teresa Riddle and Zoey D'Arienzo.
"The mysterious young woman drives the drama of the evening to a climax where reality breaks down and both friends savagely attack each other, physically and emotionally," said Torrance.
The emotions of anger and guilt, mixed with blame and confusion, "whirl together as the truth threatens everyone," he added.
"I think the film is concerned with the idea of desire, images of desire and their crippling effects," said Torrance. "Both characters are bound by their desire for Rachel and also by desire for their careers, their ambition. And the strange portrait of co-dependency that the film paints lies at the center of the film's power."

Excited about Campbell coming to CHI. Just like in college he has had to deal with so many coordinators. I believe if he would have gotten consistency at the OC he would have been so much better.
I agree with the changes. The only position on D that showed improvement all year was the the defensive line. Coach Pelton did a great job with those youngsters. War Eagle!
I love how the bammers bring up Loeffler record in the NFL, but conveniently forgot lord Saban's NFL record..
In Rushing, Temple went from 77th in 2010 to 7th in 2011. I like the looks of that..
yep same guy who coached Tebow when the Gators went 13-1 too...How did Saban do in the NFL? Just curious...
don't forget about Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss. He made it and is doing fairly well. Omac reminds me of McCluster. McCluster is 5'8 170 and omac is 5'10 170.
We wish Coach Malzahn the best. I think this is a great move for him. Head Coaching is what he wants to do. Go to a smaller school, not as high profile, get his feet wet at the head coach job, build connections, not as much pressure, etc. He's a young man and still has a lot of coaching to do. For some people its obviously not all about the money, some people still think that way. War Eagle!!
How wonderful it is to read great points and discussion on the AU board (clear of haters).
how many college coaches have ever coached on teams that were 14-0, 3 different times?
Actually it's worse when you lose by such a dominate comeback, id rather lose by a field goal than know I gave up such a commanding lead in my own back yard. Some of these Bama fans on our Au blogs seriously need help.
I totally respect Dareus and Constanzo. Character is being built, these guys will have long careers. Stay humble. This might be the best thing for the NFL rookies. War Eagle!
i've never seen Troop without a hat, hardly recognized him.
just a question. Before the BCS, wasn't the NC awarded to the team that finished #1 in the polls? Then if USC is removed, wouldn't that leave AU as #1? Then according to the process of naming NC's well before the BCS (where most of Bama's were) AU is the NC from 2004.
This is the Auburn portion of al.com right? I mean I don't think I ever read any stories on the alabama side (unless it had to do with the tornado).
I'm an Auburn fan. Brian's family is in our prayers. Such a tragedy.
AU 38- UO 21 War Eagle!
you bammers are so funny, you can't stand to see AU dominate and have a good time. I think you guys are starting to take on the personality of Saban. Cam is having a good time making memories! Enjoy life why don't you? Smile a little bit, it'll do some good.
Auburn 38 Oregon 21 War Eagle!
I am so sick of hearing people talking about how AU wouldn't have made it as far as they have if they wouldn't have had Newton or Fairley. Would Alabama have won if they wouldn't have had Ingram? What about USC without Leinhart or Bush? Every team that wins always has key players that make their team good.
"And one can't lose sight of Alabama's wicked road schedule. What would Auburn's record be now if it had gone on the road against Arkansas, South Carolina and LSU as opposed to Mississippi State, Kentucky and Ole Miss?"
Hey Paul, what if Alabama would have played Auburn's schedule last year with all their tough away games? Would they have gone undefeated? Auburn has done well and is in position make a run to Glendale. Has the schedule played in there favor? Sure, but so did Alabama's last year when they made the run.
every journalist is dying to break the next big story. If their was more severe consequences for journalists who break stories falsely then this Cam Newton story would have not been launched. Let the NCAA do their investigation and we will all know the truth. Auburn keep on winning and roll over bama all the way to Atlanta and Glendale!

Luke Stewart on the Red Door Loft and the jazz underground
- Tonight, The Red Door hosts an appearance by David Ornette Cherry. (Photo: Kyoko Takenaka/CapitalBop.com)
Among D.C.'s aging scenesters, the warehouse space at 443 Eye St. NW may always be thought of as the Hosiery. A decade ago, the art studio in pre-condo Mt. Vernon Square hosted dozens of openings, parties, and shows, including a 2003 performance by a weird up-and-comer named Devendra Banhart. Among the Brightest Young Things crowd, 443 Eye St. may still be associated with Gold Leaf Studios, the name it inherited when the space changed hands in 2007 and became infamous for late-night parties that attracted more rich GW kids than a Potbelly Sandwich Works.
But these days the studio space has another name – and a new tempo. Tonight, The Red Door Loft at 443 Eye St. hosts an independent jazz show with David Ornette Cherry, son of Don Cherry.
I spoke to organizer Luke Stewart about tonight's show, the barriers in D.C.'s jazz underground, and what happens when you put a free rock band on a jazz bill. (Here's a hint: The room does not become more full.)
What is the D.C. Jazz Loft?
My friend Giovanni Russonello and I came up with the D.C. Jazz Loft as a way to present jazz in D.C. like the [1970s] loft scene of New York, where artists opened up their spaces for musicians to come play after a gig, rehearse a group, or present new music in an intimate setting. We wanted to take that concept and apply it to the D.C. jazz scene.
Update: Stewart has clarified that tonight's concert is not affiliated with the D.C. Jazz Loft. It is an independent production hosted by The Red Door Loft.
What can people expect to hear tonight?
Tonight we have David Ornette Cherry, who is the son of legendary trumpeter Don Cherry. His music is groove-oriented and extremely funky, but in a Live-Evil sort of way. The opener will be my group OOO (Tri-O Trio) plus Leo Svirsky, a gifted pianist now studying composition in the Haag. We play fire music.
Underground music, from go-go to hardcore punk, thrived in D.C. during periods of urban decline. But what about during a boom like we're seeing now? As the local economy grows, could that have an impact on "the underground," and jazz in particular?
It is no secret that jazz has been marginalized to the point where if you aren't Wynton Marsalis or a living jazz legend like Sonny Rollins, you are in the "underground" by default. There is a dichotomy between the jazz played at Blues Alley or the Kennedy Center and what is played at alternative spaces like the now-defunct D.C. Space and Cafe Nema.
The economy definitely has something to do with the number of places there are to play, though. Rising rents force historic venues to close. Now, even though there are more skilled musicians than ever (people with masters and doctorate degrees in music), there are fewer places to play.
But D.C. has an advantage over New York due to its lack of cutthroat competition. It is more of a community here. People support each other in finding gigs, wherever they might be.
So you think the underground — be it jazz, punk, go-go, or whatever — is still thriving in the D.C. area?
The "underground" in art will never die. As long as there exists people who create outside of even the pursuit of the status quo, there will always be alternative venues and performances in the city. Not everyone can play at the 9:30 Club — not everyone wants to. Some people would rather play in an intimate setting where people will enjoy the music more.
Why would an artist choose to perform at the D.C. Jazz Loft?
In my experience, people are pretty much willing to play anywhere. But the loft is especially enticing because the jazz scene has been without it for a long time. Also, the jazz loft brings together audiences and musicians who would otherwise not cross paths. For instance, in December we brought together the U Street All Stars, who are mostly straight-ahead performers, with free jazz groups. In the larger jazz world, the straight-ahead and free jazz audiences have been at odds for a long time, and in my opinion there is no need for it at all. That polarization is beginning to subside, but the feelings are still there, especially when talking to some older people in the music.
Tell me more about the first D.C. Jazz Loft show last month.
The show was great. We had five different groups of completely different approaches. It attracted a more varied audience than I've seen in D.C. Everyone was genuinely impressed with the music and I think everyone left a little more enlightened. My group OOO opened, playing a mix of prepared and unprepared improvisations. Then Bobby Muncy and his quintet played a great set of original bebop tunes. Then Matta Gawa played their free rock set, which comically cleared the room. People thought they were too loud, but those who stayed were impressed.
Elliot Levin came down from Philly and played a set joined by myself and a great drummer named Louis Rozier who has played with Cecil Taylor and other avant legends. The headliner was the U Street All Stars, made up of some of D.C.'s best young bebop musicians playing a set of standard jazz tunes. It turned into a jam session during their set as musicians in the audience came and sat in. Definitely a memorable night, and a personal highlight of the year. (Watch video from the show.)
I met you through your rock band, Laughing Man. Is there any crossover between people who come to Laughing Man shows, and the people who have or will come to the jazz loft shows?
This is one of the greatest accomplishments for me in this loft venture. I think that too often the local indie scene is centered around mediocre rock, without any regard for other types of music. I love seeing people from that scene see a different kind of music in a place where they would expect to see a grungy garage band. It kinda ups the artistic ante, but also presents a new audience for D.C. jazz musicians. It is people like Laughing Man fans who I especially want to reach, to further open their minds.
For more information about jazz events in D.C, visit CapitalBop.com. To hear funky, progressive, hard, straight, and free jazz sounds, listen to Stewart's radio show on WPFW,
Wednesdays every other Wednesday from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Stewart says: "Make sure you become a member supporter... if people do not step up, WPFW will end up as C-SPAN2 radio, or worse."

STOCKTON, Calif. - A marathon 35-33 third set proved to be the difference as Cal State Northridge dropped a 25-23, 17-25, 35-33, 25-11 decision to the host Pacific Tigers in Big West action Friday night at the Spanos Center.
The Matadors (8-8, 2-2 Big West), who were looking to take control of the match after a 25-17 win in set two, had six swings at the third set but could not find the winning kill and the Tigers (11-7, 2-3 Big West) took advantage of a pair of late CSUN miscues to wrestle control of the match with the 35-33 win.
Sophomore Natalie Allen led the Matadors with 13 kills (.323) while freshman Casey Hinger added 12 kills but was limited to a .132 hitting clip after hitting .379 in her last two matches. Hinger also added a team-high seven blocks. Sam Kaul (.375) and Mahina Haina (.121) each chipped in nine kills for CSUN which wound up hitting .137 in the match.
Libero Cindy Ortiz had a season-high 31 digs and setter Sydney Gedryn posted 46 assists, five kills, six digs and four blocks in the loss.
In the opening set, CSUN nearly overcame a 17-12 Pacific lead. A four-point Matador run pulled Northridge within 17-16 and the Matadors then drew even at 19-19 following an Allen ace. Another Allen ace followed by a Hinger-Britney Graff co-block gave the Matadors their first lead at 21-19. The lead was short-lived however as Pacific got three straight kills (two from Rebekah Torres) to take back the lead for good at 22-21. Another Hinger kill evened the score but the Matadors would get no closer falling 25-23.
With the score tied 10-10 in the second set, the Matadors rallied for seven straight points to open up a 16-9 cushion. Siljegovic had a pair of kills during the run while Hinger had a kill and had her hand in a pair of blocks. before Siljegovic's kill at 24-17 ended the frame in CSUN's favor.
The Matadors took advantage of their momentum from set two, scoring five of the first six points in the third frame. Leading 6-3, Northridge took advantage of a pair of Tiger hitting errors and a Haina kill to lead by as many as four at 8-4. A Sam Kaul kill kept the Matadors on top 13-8 before Pacific tallied five of the next six points to pull within 14-13. A CSUN timeout did little to stem the tide as the Tigers rolled off another five straight to open up their biggest lead at 18-14.
Down by as many as three (20-17), the Matadors rallied late to tie the score at 20-20 following a Kaul kill. The teams traded sideouts until an Allen-Hinger block gave CSUN set point at 24-23. But a Samantha Misa kill sent the set to extra points. The Matadors had six swings at the set, the last time at 33-32 before Graff's attack was stuffed and Graff hit out on the ensuing point giving Pacific the 35-33 win.
Needing a set four win, the Matadors scored the first four points only to see the Tigers do one better with a 5-0 run. CSUN eventually went down by as many as four (10-6) when Ortiz was whistled for a ball handling error. The Matadors still trailed by four at 14-10 when Pacific put together a 4-0 run to open up a comfortable 17-10 cushion. CSUN would score just one more point the rest of the way as the Tigers cruised to the 25-11 win.
Misa led Pacific with a match-high 20 kills (.236). No other Tiger hitter had more than eight kills.
Cal State Northridge continues its three-match road trip on Saturday as the Matadors travel to UC Davis to take on the Aggies at 7 p.m.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Deborah Johns on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Biblical name (meaning 'bee' in Hebrew), borne by the nurse of Rebecca (Genesis 35:8) and by a woman judge and prophet (Judges 4–5) who led the Israelites to victory over the Canaanites. It has always been popular as a Jewish name. It was in use among Christians by the mid 16th century and was taken up by the Puritans in the 17th century, in part because the bee was a symbol of industriousness. Since then it has enjoyed enormous popularity, peaking in the 1960s. Among other famous bearers is the actress Deborah Kerr (1921–2007).
|55th in the U.S.
English and German: patronymic from John. As a German name it may also be a reduced form of Johannes.

Beginning with the 2016 season, each of Iowa's six football classes will advance 16 teams to the state football playoffs, according to a change announced last week by the Iowa High School Athletic Association Board of Control. The change means a reduction from 32 teams who currently qualify for the postseason in each class.
The schedules for this fall and the 2015 regular season and playoffs remain unchanged.

Joni Laughlin took the loss to Southwest Valley, allowing three hits and no earned runs while striking out four.
Council Bluffs St. Albert plated seven runs in the final two innings to erase a three run deficit and escape Glenwood with a 14-10 Hawkeye 10 Conference baseball victory Friday.
The Rams (8-6 overall, 6-5 in the conference) smacked a season-high 18 hits in the win but just didn't pitch good enough to win, said Glenwood coach Bret Elam.
Glenwood fielding miscues led to a combined 12 unearned runs as the Rams dropped a pair of games at the Treynor Softball Invitational Saturday.
The Rams (11-9 overall, 6-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference)
"Unfortunately, we really struggled on defense today," said Glenwood coach Tom Horton.
Glenwood dropped a decision to Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln 6-0 and then was bested by the host Cardinals 13-4.
Jacy Embray was credited with the game one loss after scattering four hits and one earned run in four innings.

The Glenwood girls and boys soccer teams placed five on the All-Hawkeye 10 Conference soccer team released last week.
In a league-wide vote of coaches, the Glenwood girls' Sarah Homan, Sara Gutschenritter and Danni Finn were tabbed for the first team. Ross Van Slyke and Andy Staiert were named to the first team on the boys side.
The Glenwood baseball team won one and dropped one as a host site for the Battle of the Bluffs Baseball Tournament Saturday.
The Rams (7-3 overall, 5-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) opened with a 14-0 loss to North Scott before bouncing back for a 4-2 win over Clear Lake in their tournament capper.
With six of his 16 varsity players not available, including four of his top five outfielders, Glenwood coach Bret Elam knew his team's opener against Class 4A top 10 ranked North Scott might be a tall task.

Ok people -- Antipasto (singular) Antipasti (plural) pasta is different and anti pasta does not exsist. enjoy.
Posted by sandra on 08/15/2006
I've been here twice and both times have been great. The atmosphere is old-country, which I like; the wait staff is more than helpful, they are accommodating. Although it's not a child-oriented restaurant, they managed to put together a make-shift booster chair for my two-year old grand child and flirted with her all evening. The specials are fabulous, the wine (even those sold by the glass) is lovely, and we were never hurried. Yes, it's pricey. For two appetizers, three entries, three desserts, four glasses of wine, and three cappucinos, I paid $228 + tip. But if it's a special occasion, it's worth it. If you can't afford it, don't go - but don't pan it because you don't have the money or don't care to part with it.

From the decor, the anti pasta on the table and the wonderful selection of wine, it was a great start. Only ordering from the specials, we had the tuna tartar and a salad to start (both were so great). Then we asked for 2 of the fish which were the salmon and an italian whitefish...both with different decadent sauces. For sides, we had spinach, roasted mushrooms and asparagus. Dessert was a huge plate of biscotti, peach sorbet (in the peach) and strawberries that were the biggest I have seen. This was a meal that you leave full, happy, and can not wait to come back for again.

You have to go to Scalinatella at least once in your life. the service is amazing. The food is to die for, and you are treated like a King or Queen (hee hee) the entire time of your dinner, dessert and drinks. Wonderful place to enjoy a night out. Romantic and Cozy.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/04/2006
I don't know how or why anyone would give Scalinatella a bad review. Granted, if you're looking for modern decor or moderate prices, this is not the place for you; however, if you appreciate amazing top-quality classic Italian cuisine and impeccable service (and don't mind paying for it), this is one of New York's best. I'm not sure how any of the other reviewers have had bad experiences with the service here . In my experiences, the staff has been polite and beyond accomodating -- even going so far as to find a waiter who spoke one of my guest's native language and explaining the entire menu to her so that she would not have to struggle with understanding English or Italian.) I have never had a problem getting a reservation at a reasonable hour, have never had to wait for more than 5 minutes for my table, and have never been rushed out of my table (and I am not a regular). For the most part, I'd say to ignore the menu and order from the specials or have them make what you want (they'll do anything so long as they have the ingredients).

The place is incredible and easily one of the best restaurants in the city. I saw Michael Moore and his wife eating with Modonna and Guy Richie not too long ago. Absolutely incredible restaurant.
Posted by Shocked on 03/11/2006
I feel obligated (as a person that has never posted before) to let others know that this should be on your list of places to avoid ... There are too many other fabulous restaurants in NYC to waste time with this one. Tastless salmon (with a meager serving of steamed vegetables) for $38. Dry Chicken Paillard with a pile of wilted lettuce for twice the price it should have been. The decor (particularly the ceiling) was unoriginal and uninspring. You can't stand straight up in the gents unless you are under 5'4 ... How is that for design?

"There is no area in which Sarah Palin does not agree with John McCain," says the Democratic nominee. Shocking — the vice presidential nominee agrees with the top of the ticket! Obama, for the record, is showing considerable charm and humor on the show, as when he batted away an Olbermann effort to get him to address a specific question about Palin's readiness by saying dryly, "I'll let you take that up with her when, I'm sure, she decides to sit down with you for an interview on your show."
Nonetheless, this really is a first — a nominee for president making a point of engaging, again and again, with the running mate of his opponent. I can't decipher the strategy here.


text: Milani Flashy Lip Flash Gloss Pencil ($6.49 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "hot pink with hot pink shimmer." It's a medium-dark raspberry fuchsia with fuchsia micro-glitter. The color coverage is mostly opaque but a hint of my lip freckle peeks through. The formula is supposed to be highly pigmented, extra glossy, and contain "moisture-rich" ingredients. It's not supposed to feather or feel sticky either.
