text: I never heard that the judges who were doing PCS only were bored. It was the ones who were doing GOE only who were bored. How would this work below the world-class level? The number of officials is a compromise between accuracy (more is better) and practicality (how many people can we afford to house and feed and pay travel expenses for). The most important events that have money coming in from sale of TV rights can afford a lot more than those that rely only on entry fees. Initially, at the beginning of the IJS and even before that with the Interim System, the ISU thought it was a good idea to dilute the politics on the international panels by bringing in more judges and then randomly choosing some judges' scores not to count. That soon became cost prohibitive and they dropped that practice. Worlds and Olympics always used to have 9-judge panels under 6.0 (plus an alternate), but Grand Prix events and other smaller or less-important internationals often only had 7. Regional or club competitions would sometimes use 5. Same under IJS except that it can also work with even numbers of judges. The addition of the technical panels has already added considerably to the costs of running a competition, at any level. Already most local competitions use only 5-6 judges on each panel, and when they're desperate for officials they might have to go down to 3-4 for some events. (And may make do without an assistant tech specialist on the tech panel, and without video and data operators if they're not using video replay) With 6 judges, if you split the judging panel into three sets of task you could have only 2 judges in each section. But if you require four sections, or if there just aren't enough officials available to the local club, then you'd end up with only one judge making all the decisions on his/her own for the whole subset of skills assigned, OR you'd have some or all of the judges covering more than one subset anyway. Judges at club competitions or even national competitions are likely to be less experienced than international judges, but they would have more authority than the more experienced judges at the big competitions that can afford larger panels. So by the time the judges got to the national and international level, even if we exclude all of the currently trained judges who are used to doing all GOEs and all PCS, they would likely have years of experience judging all or most of those skills at once. Then when they get to the higher judging levels, you give them less to do. I'm not sure how to justify that logically, aside from the assumption that international judges want to judge politically so we need to devalue their expertise in order to dilute their power. Well, some observers approach the question determined to find an answer that proves there's a problem. So if judges disagree, that's always a problem, and if they always disagree, that's a problem. In that case, no solution will satisfy them and as soon as you make a change they will find problems with the new status quo. If we want to be honest about it, we should first analyze exactly what about the current status quo is the system being designed wrong (good reasons to redesign), what's a case of most judges consistently implementing it wrong (need better training across the board), and what are isolated cases of individuals making occasional mistakes (need better training for those who make such mistakes frequently, and maybe failsafe devices to catch the mistakes before certifying them into the official scores). They max out at +3. And the guidelines for positive GOE say So if they found 4 positive bullet points, they would generally be starting from +2, not +3. If they found 3, they'd start from either +1 or +2 -- most likely +1. The rules don't say so, except in allowing discretion as mentioned in the bit I quoted above, but I would imagine that some judges might consider that if the description of a bullet point says "good" then if they think that aspect of the element was good they'll award one bullet point, but if they think that aspect of the element was OMG! phenomenal, they might count it twice. They still can't start any higher than +3 for the most perfect element. And of course if it has any flaws that require reduction, it wasn't the most perfect so it would be extremely unlikely they would start from +3. Maybe, e.g., a huge, high, fast jump with excellent takeoff and landing edges, right on the music, with varied or especially beautiful air and landing positions would deserve +3 and then deserve a reduction for a telegraphed entry. Or forget the "excellent takeoff edge" and have the technical panel call "e" for unclear edge, not blatantly incorrect, that looked fine to the judge in real time. Or if a Lucinda Ruh or Alissa Czisny does a flying spin that's excellent as a spin but didn't quite achieve the necessary flying position in the air. I think it would be great to bring these outside experts and train them to judge these qualities in skating performances. The practical problem would be the expense. Skating judges have spent years judging locally and traveling at their own or their federations' expense to get to the international level, at which point they continue to judge within their own countries on a regular basis and/or travel internationally at the ISU's expense, but they earn no take-home income from judging -- either they're independently wealthy, or they have jobs that they have to leave for up to a week whenever they get a judging assignment for a lengthy competition and/or in a distant location. How many arts experts would be willing to give up several weeks of their income-generating work, even if it's mostly a long weekend here and there, to volunteer to judge figure skating?

Glock triggers are easy to use for the majority of people. Some gun enthusiasts get accustomed to 3 pound custom triggers and are handicapped when shooting service pistols like the Glock. Funny thing is, most new shooters do fine with Glocks, while gun guys whine and complain about the trigger.
Just work on proper trigger reset and you should do fine with the Glock. You may shoot low/left when you begin with the Glock. Make sure you are using proper finger placement and watch the reset - you should be fine.
It's pretty easy to replace trigger components in a Glock. I've never felt the need for anything but the standard trigger, but hobby shooters may prefer the 3.5 pound connector. I use mine for defense and just left the trigger alone. It shoots fine - I managed to finish at the top of my last class at Front Sight even though I was "handicapped" by using a stock Glock 17 against custom 1911s and such. (Amusingly, just about every 1911 malfunctioned at least once, while the little Glock just soldiered on with perfect reliability.)

st: RE: RE: Nested loops by observation
Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:58:55 -0600
Thank you very much for your reply. You are correct in that I am figuring out how Stata works relative to some other software I used eons ago. I also have a gut instinct this is not the way to go. A sample of my dataset is as follows:
Obs dgc1_1b_cde dgc2_1b_cde dgc3_1b_cde dgc4_1b_cde dgc5_1b_cde dgc6_1b_cde dhc1_age dhc2_age dhc3_age ..... dhc6_age chronic
1 0 1 1 1 0 1 20 22 24 30 .
2 0 1 0 1 0 1 66 68 70 76 .
3 0 0 0 0 1 1 34 36 38 44 .
4 1 1 0 1 0 1 42 44 46 52 .
Each observation represents one individual's responses to a medication survey administered 6 consecutive times or cycles. The "dgc" variables represent a binary response to whether this individual is taking a certain medication (1=yes). The fourth character in the "dgc" variables e.g. dgc"1" represents the cycle number. e.g. the first individual did not take the medication in cycle 5 (dgc5_1b_cde==0) but did in cycle 6 (dgc6_1b_cde==0). I am defining incident chronic usage of this medication as the patient not taking the medication in any cycle i followed by taking the medication for two consecutive cycles i+1 and i+2. That is you need a sequence of three cycles starting with a "0" and followed by two "1s". Above, observations 1 and 3 qualify as being chronic incident usage of the medication, 2 and 4 do not. The "dhc" variables in my code are just the individuals age. I thought of setting the "chronic" variable if the incidient chronic usage condition was met but it ce!
rtainly looks like a new approach is needed.

Subject: st: RE: Nested loops by observation
My visceral instinct, fortified by some Stata experience, is that this
is not the way to go at all. That is, I guess that your second sentence
is quite wrong: you don't need to do it this way at all.
This looks like the code of someone experienced in some alternative
software, but less so in Stata. In Stata, loops over observations are
rarely needed given the scope for using -by:- and _n.
Give an example of your data and a precise definition of chronic
condition and I will try to advise further. (I'm not going to try to
infer your definition from your code.)
David Sabapathy
I have a question related to the FAQ "if command versus if qualifier".
For each observation in a dataset I need to perform a series of nested
loops ("forvalues" / "if") on a longitudinal variable set to evaluate
whether a "chronic" medication condition exists. That is, each
observation contains multiple years of survey information (the dgc*
variables below) which is being analyzed and if a chronic condition
exists a new variable "chronic" is set to 1. I can't use the nested
commands as shown below in a simplified version of the code as they only
work on the first observation. However I also can't use this nested
code as a qualifier (i.e. replace chronic = 1 if ...) as syntax does not
appear to allow this type of nesting. Is there anyway I can step
through observations one by one with this nested code? Any other
possible solutions?
Thank you for any help you can provide,
gen chronic = .
forvalues cycle = 1(1)4 {
if dgc`cycle'_1b_cde == 0 { // if no med use
cycle i
local chron_cyc1 = `cycle' + 1
if dgc`chron_cyc1'_1b_cde == 1 { // if med use cycle_i+1
local chron_cyc2 = `cycle' + 2
if dgc`chron_cyc2'_1b_cde == 1 { // if med use cycle_i+2
if dhc`chron_cyc1'_age >=65 & dhc`chron_cyc2'_age
>=65 {
// "replace chronic = 2"
else {
// "replace chronic = 1"

Howdy From Texas
Hello everyone,
I'm Promise, I'm 19, and I'm from Texas. I've been watching Jamie Oliver for years now and I simply enjoy cooking/baking. Today I was feeling a bit down and decided to bake some stuff and suddenly I was feeling great! I guess cooking is a little like therapy for me. There's definitely something about it that makes me feel good.
Someday I'd like to own a cafe/bakery or something of the sort where I serve the food that I both love to put together and eat myself. I'm hoping I can turn my own little cafe into a venue and have bands out to play. I love music, I'm in a band myself.
So, that's a little about myself. I am happy to be here. I love food. Yum.

Matt Vescovo displays a tremendous penchant for animal flirtation by
delivering 10 non-nut sexual innuendos to a squirrel in one minute, a
new world record. He began an 11th ("Can I enter your treehole?"), but
was unable to complete it within the alloted time.
Vescovo wooed the squirrel with such lines as "I've got a wonderful
place for you to hibernate" and "I'd like to become one with nature." He
performed the feat at a World Record Appreciation Society event held
in New York City on February 11, 2009. Corey Henderson and Dan Rollman

How about the tooling cost after just machining one days worth??? I been a machinist for 20 yrs and i know down time for any reason and tooling is killer when it comes to machines!...Good Luck!!
How about the tooling cost after just machining one days worth??? I been a machinist for 20 yrs and i know down time for any reason and tooling is killer when it comes to machines!...Good Luck!!
Hello Tom,
The rate the machine was running at the time the video was taken was about one panel every 12 sec(cycle time). That equals 560 BOXES in 8hrs. (see description at bottom of video)
The owner has the machine tuned back so one man can run it. He stacks about 15 panels on the infeed, then restacks at the out feed. If it was running at 7 secs you would need two people, and they would have an easy day. We had this machine running at 6.5 seconds, for a short time, then the operator tuned it down. That equals about 960 boxes per day. I guaranteed my first machine to run at one panel every 15 seconds. Future machines will surpass 1200 boxes per day. Two person crew.
I spent about 9 months on the computer designing this one. I have been designing everything in Solidworks 3D cad for over 12 years.
Thanks for the interest, Hank
Ya. I'm a machinist too. Since 1974.
You are right. You cannot ignore tooling cost!
The dado blades are Freud. Nice blades.
The first set is still on the machine. I inspected them about 2 weeks ago. The owner has run about 30,000 Boxes and they are still in good shape. I did see one chipped tooth there may be a couple more.
The machine required 13 sets of dados to get 10 sets at 1"(Spacers and such). I bored all of them to 1.250 inches for the larger arbor.
I did try to talk the owner into using one piece cutters as it would make setup so much easier, and future machines will be equiped as such. Tooling cost is seperate. Better figure on about $1800 to equip this machine. I built the hand hold cutter and 2, 3/8 offset dados. The rabbet cutter is a 4" Amada. None of the cutters have been to the sharpener yet. The cutters will have a good long life.
Thanks, Hank
Hi Ron,
Resetting the machine for different panels takes about 15 minutes. Move a pin for the hieght size. Move the dado cutters in or out for the width. Readjust the infeed guides.
This machine can be used to make other boxes as well. Gift boxes, Product cases. Lots of possibilities. No reason the rabbet cutter can't changed and be used to make a groove for a bottom panel. But at the risk of getting off topic, the BEE BOX was what this machine was designed to make.
How is your honey straw machine? Is that the right name?
Hello everyone,
Wow! It has been over a year since I shared the Bee Box Machine. The responce has been incredible.
This is not a machine that everyone needs, or one that you make at the rate of one a week. But 5 have been sold.
I hope to display the machine at an as yet undetermined bee conference.
Thanks so much to all for your interest.

How much do these cost???
Depending on the options and if it is a 3 station or a 5 station, with tooling...
50- $80,000.
Would you like one or two?
Thanks, though.
This is the one I saw pictures of a year or more ago.
Allow me to make a standing offer to buy this from you when you are ready to part with it.
I would love to restore it. How about a little paint and pin striping. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing. Hank
I will trade you even up for one of your new ones!
Hello again everyone,
I would like to share the latest Automatic bee box machine with all.
Since our first machine we have made major improvements.
Our latest machine has full cnc control of the router head enabling the machine to make 4 different styles of box
construction. 5/8 top finger, 1 5/8 top finger, full size finger with through rabbet, and best of all
the inset frame rest. The way to go as you can see.....here on youtube http://youtu.be/NHqUg7hQG-U
That is really cool! I deal with the design and installation of automation like that at work. It's really neat to see it applied to something like this. Nicely done!
Hobby Beekeeper - Second Year - Two Hives
Those machines are fantastic. The reality is that shipping the finished product is the killer.... I would say other than satisfaction of building it yourself, shipping cost is the driver for folks to build em in their garage....
I dont want to sound negative at all, they look great and I bet they can pound em out fast with the greatest precision. I am envious of the handhold cutter for sure !
Well I have to say Hank, you have a nice product and I only wish I would have bought in back when you first email me about it. The bee box boom has been going on for a lot longer then I would have thought. Been in the bee business for over 30 years, and I've never seen bee box sell for the price they do. I'm sure with the improvement and increase cost, the price is up too. My wife said I've bought all the new toys for this year already.
Its going to take me 2 years, to get one of these, but I will have one.
I had a discussion with my registrar. It's up again.

Wayne Law Student Receives First-Ever Wanda Nash Award
DETROIT (Oct. 26, 2007) – Wayne State University Law School 3L student Elizabeth Livorine recently received the first-ever Wanda Nash Award, an award created by the Animal Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan in 2006 to honor a Michigan law student dedicated to animal law.
According to Wayne Law Professor Noah Hall, Livorine has "dedicated herself to animal law since deciding that the law and legislation was her best avenue by which to fulfill her deep commitment to animals."
Livorine has taken tremendous initiative in starting a Student Animal Legal Defense Fund (SALDF) Chapter at Wayne Law, and has attended a number of animal law conferences in an effort to gain knowledge to bring back to Wayne Law and the Southeastern Michigan community. In addition to her animal law efforts, Livorine has made personal efforts in the protection of animals and their rights by raising funds for the SALDF's Mega March for Animals team, volunteering and fostering at the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan, and taking the opportunity to enter elementary schools to educate students about the value of animals and the humane treatment they deserve.
Livorine was presented with the award at the Animal Law Section's annual meeting last month in Grand Rapids. On Oct. 30, 2007, the award will be presented to Wayne State University Law School in recognition of Livorine at the school's SALDF meeting at noon in Room 2261.
The meeting, which is open to all Section members, alumni, students faculty and staff, will also feature attorney Deborah D. Lynett, Estate/Family Law Attorney, and Guardian of a Certified Therapy Dog. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wanda Nash is the spark behind the Animal Law Section, having gathered together Michigan attorneys interested in animal law in the early 1990s. The Section was formed in 1995, and is considered to be the first statewide Animal Law Section in the US. Wanda served as the first Chair, and has been an active Section Council member since then. Wanda has devoted most of her adult life to work on behalf of animals. She was one of the few law students in the 1980s who went to law school specifically to use the legal system to better the lives of animals.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

HAMDEN -- The game wasn't even 3 1/2 minutes old but the reinforcements made the familiar trot to the scorer's table.
For as dynamic the inside-outside duo of Felicia Barron and Brittany McQuain have been for the red-hot Quinnipiac women's basketball team, it is the Bobcats' depth with has been a constant in what is shaping up as a potentially magical season.
For the second time in five days Quinnipiac outlasted a feisty Central Connecticut State in large part because of the contributions off the bench.
In Wednesday's 58-49 victory at the TD Bank Sports Center it was freshman Jasmine Martin who did most of the damage with a team-high 15 points to lead the Bobcats to a sweep of the regular-season series. Quinnipiac also clinched a spot in the Northeast Conference tournament with the win.
Martin was one of four players summoned off the bench just 3:20 into the game after the starting five got off to a bit of a sluggish start. Just two seconds later Martin drained Quinnipiac's only 3-pointer of the game.
"I just went in and did exactly what Coach (Tricia Fabbri) asked me to do," said Martin after her 14th double-digit scoring game of the season. "I played hard on defense and turned it into offense. We take a lot out of that. In practice we are always fighting for spots but when we go into the game we know we are replacing (key players). If I am going in for Felicia, I know I have to pick up Felicia's slack or whatever she was doing."
When Quinnipiac (19-6, 11-3 in the Northeast Conference) closed out the first half on a 10-2 run, eight of the points came from reserves.
It is nothing new for the Bobcats. In the two games against Central Connecticut, Quinnipiac's starters have been outscored 95-75 but the bench scoring has been 47-13 in the Bobcats' favor.
"It was really great to see the girls who closed out the game weren't necessarily our starters and that is where we have had a lot of success all season long," Fabbri said. "I think that is so important when you are playing the last two weeks of the season and going into tournament time that we really have used our depth, our depth has been extremely productive in terms of points, rebounds and winning games."
Don't get the idea it was simply a case of Quinnipiac's starters letting the reserves have all the fun.
McQuain had 12 points, nine rebounds and two steals, Barron also had 12 points while Camryn Warner added four rebounds and three steals as Quinnipiac remained within a game of first-place Sacred Heart in the NEC. With NEC tournament hosting honors being decided by regular-season seeding, the Bobcats are hoping to win out and see the Pioneers stumble.
"Our (motto) the last couple of weeks is to never be satisfied," McQuain said. "I think before we go out and play that is our mindset. Even at halftime before coaches come in, we always have our talks and having our say and everybody is always saying the same thing. We are working towards winning a championship, working towards the postseason and getting a home-court game. So we are working for all this stuff, keep ourselves grounded, keep everyone together and keep working for a common goal as we have for this entire season."
Jaclyn Babe led Central Connecticut (11-14, 5-9) with 15 points.

Jamiroquai - Blue Skies (Fred Falke Radio Edit)
Jamiroquai's lackluster new album, Rock Dust Star Light, gets completely overshadowed by the Fred Falke edit of single, Blue Skies, which appears on the deluxe edition. Mixes of White Knuckle Ride also top the original, and can be heard here.
Lesson to be learned: remix every new Jamiroquai song ever, and therein you find success.

Massachusetts's miniature-golf scene (who knew there was one!) is the guiding spirit behind "WHALE ISLAND: MINIATURE-GOLF-INSPIRED WORKS BY BRIAN BUTLER," which opens at Mass College of Art's Godine Gallery on November 26. The exhibition is an outgrowth of Butler's recent US ProMinigolf Association–sanctioned project "Mini-Golf Across Massachusetts," which involved exploring every miniature-golf course in Massachusetts last June in order to analyze the state of the small green across the commonwealth. The show includes photographs, mixed-media drawings, and a large-scale, interactive mini-golf installation by this Mass Art senior.
Since opening in Lowell in July 2005, Gallery 119 has maintained a tradition of annual juried shows on open-ended themes that draw in diverse artists. Its Third Annual Juried Show, "SEEK ALTERNATE ROUTES," juried by Jed Speare (current director of Boston's Studio Soto and former director of Mobius Artists Group) and opening November 27, explores any and all aspects of the topic of finding different paths. Although the show's logo is the familiar, yellow diamond-shaped highway sign indicating a detour, the work is bound to head out in unexpected directions.On the Web

To the Editors:
Vaclav Smil's article, "Water News: Bad, Good and Virtual" (August–September), left unmentioned the mishandling of sewage and organic wastes that pollute waters and increase ocean dead zones. The biggest global problem unaddressed by environmentalists and scientists working on global sustainability is the ever-expanding, never-ending organic waste mess. It is appalling that Group of Eight officials (representing the eight largest industrial market economies) in July talked up world health problems without mentioning any connection to water contamination by germs, toxics and drugs from organic wastes. The EPA has announced conference plans concerning risks of drugs in drinking water indicating the need to eliminate unwanted hazards released from organic wastes.
Major elimination of those hazards in wastes and separated sewage solids could be obtainable by a pyrolysis system. Pyrolysis would destroy hazards while stopping waste bulk from re-emitting greenhouse gases via biodegradation as now occurs in dumps, sewage processing and composting. The process would produce charcoal for burial (or maybe soft coal could be substituted), gaseous hot distillates to produce refined organic chemicals to sell and big cost reductions for new dumps not needing to handle the organic wastes. Hot charcoal used in such a process could be passed through heat exchangers to produce steam to generate electricity. Yes, some energy whose production resulted in greenhouse gas emissions may be required. But gained would be the benefit of minimizing major water pollution sources potentially causing many health problems, reduced dump costs and the reduction of some greenhouse gas emissions.
James Singmaster, IIIFremont, CA
To the Editors:
Regarding Vaclav Smil's article, the author eloquently points out the amount of water used in U.S. agriculture. He mentions that rainfall needed to grow grains may be transpired, formed into clouds and then rain again some hundreds of miles away. That may be, but much agricultural water will carry off excess fertilizer and agricultural waste, especially the water used in meat and dairy production. We need to take account of the "wear and tear" on the water and to differentiate water "use" from water "consumption." I propose that the tallies of water used include the typical number of kilowatt-hours needed to clean the water and pump it back to the source reservoir.
Harriet GriesingerCambridge, MA
Dr. Smil responds:
Compared to virtual water or desalination, the two topics I developed in some detail, wastewater treatment has been receiving an enormous amount of attention in specialized professional publications. There were other important water matters that were not even briefly noted in my American Scientist article. That we need to do a much better job in dealing with the organics, toxics and metabolites has been obvious for decades. I readily agree with the call to view this challenge more urgently. New approaches should always be explored, but we could do a much better job even with the already well-established techniques. In either case, we must first be willing to pay for it: The real cost of water is inevitably higher than what we are paying now.

When I reach John Hollenbeck by phone, he's on a sojourn typical of the modern itinerant composer — a week-long teaching residency. In this case, he's at Towson State University, Maryland, and his classes run the gamut: composition, improvisation, coaching student ensembles, giving drum lessons, playing with his band the Claudia Quintet. And he says he's surprised to have been invited to bring the band to Boston's First Night festivities. "Guys like us, we're not used to New Year's Eve gigs."
Although Hollenbeck seems unaware that First Night usually encompasses classical and jazz, his point is well taken. Those "guys like us" tend to be players and composers with a jazz background and an uncategorizable experimental streak. Like their classical brethren, they fall under the rough rubric of "concert music."
Hollenbeck, who's 41, studied percussion and composition at the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester and since then has worked all manner of journeyman gigs. (He's the younger brother of Boston percussionist and composer Pat Hollenbeck.) But it's as a composer that he's come into his own, leading and playing drums in the Claudia Quintet and his Large Ensemble. He likes cyclical rhythmic patterns in the minimalist mode of Philip Glass and Steve Reich, jazz harmonies, unconventional instrumentation, all manner of world-music colors, "classical" orchestrations and structures. The Claudia Quintet boasts vibes, accordion, and clarinet in the front line. Hollenbeck is typical of a generation fluent in several traditions and willing to work in them all — simultaneously.
In the past, I've been put off by the driven, obsessive nature of some of his work — his single-minded pursuit of a compositional idea. There'd be no conventional "swing" to offer relief, no bravura improvised solos, just a perfectly synchronized musical engine grinding away. It had a take-it-or-leave-it quality that I found easy to leave.
But this year's Large Ensemble album, Eternal Interlude (Sunnyside), reawakened me to Hollenbeck. The rhythmic cycles again drive the pieces, but they're layered in multi-hued arrangements, from low brass to high reeds and flutes, and informed with a new expansiveness and lyricism. There's more command of harmony and color, tension and resolution. "Foreign One," a dense reworking of Thelonious Monk's skittery theme "Four in One," breaks open for a bruising tenor solo. "Perseverance" is a sprawling (17:45) concerto for three saxophones. And "Eternal Interlude" is that "still center of the turning world" that's rich with unfolding detail. The expansive lyricism is pervasive, even amid the spoken-word recitation of "Cloud" (by band singer Theo Bleckman), with its backing of brass chorale. The album is, by any measure, a major achievement.
Hollenbeck tells me that the creation of the Claudia Quintet began with his search for something different — a departure from his jazz roots. Over the years and through gigs, he met accordionist Ted Reichman, clarinettist (and tenor player) Chris Speed, and vibist Matt Moran. "I'd never heard a front line of clarinet, accordion, and vibes. I'd heard clarinet and vibes, and clarinet and accordion, but not that. I liked it from the very beginning."

What is ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (Trivora-28)?
Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Hef's Movie Notes: Red Headed Woman
Hef introduces the pre-Code classic starring Jean Harlow and Chester Morris.
Tomorrow night: Barbara Stanwyck, with George Brent, Donald Cook and John Wayne in the pre-Code "BABY FACE."
On Sunday: Hugh Jackman in "REAL STEEL."Next Friday: James Dean and Natalie Wood, with Sal Mineo in "REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE."
And on Saturday–a week from tomorrow—Joan Crawford, with Jack Carson and Zachary Scott, in her Academy Award winning performance in "MILDRED PIERCE."
Tonight: Jean Harlow and Chester Morris in the pre-Code classic "RED HEADED WOMAN."
Harlow's first feature role was as a blonde bombshell in the Howard Hughes' classic "HELL'S ANGELS" in 1930.
But subsequent parts in films such as "PLATINUM BLONDE" for Colombia and "PUBLIC ENEMY" for Warner Bros. did little to advance her career.
It was not until she downed a red wig and played the trollop in "RED HEADED WOMAN" for MGM in 1932 that she became a star.
MGM bought her contract from Howard Hughes for what has been variously reported as $30 to $60,000, and then didn't know what to do with her, because Louis B. Mayer prided himself on "family films."
"RED HEADED WOMAN" was a sensational novel written by Katharine Brush in 1931 and serialized by the Saturday Evening Post.
Irving Thalberg originally purchased the property for Garbo, but she turned it down.
Joan Crawford was considered for the part and so was Barbara Stanwyck.
Warner Bros. refused to loan Stanwyck to MGM, but starred her in a similar amoral role in the pre-Code "BABY FACE" the following year.
And we'll see that one tomorrow!
Clara Bow was considered for tonight's film, because she really was a red head.
Paramount refused to loan Nancy Carroll for the film.
Tests of Ann Southern, Dixie Lee (Mrs. Bing Crosby) and Ethel Merman (yes, Ethel Merman) proved unsatisfactory.
It was the ill-fated MGM producer Paul Bern who finally convinced Production Chief Irving Thalberg to use Jean Harlow in the role.
Harlow is sensational in the picture. An unrepentant sinner! Sexy! Scandalous! And hilarious, too—because this is a satire on sex.
At least that's what Thalberg said when the Hays Office objected to the film.
"She's a harlot," said the Hays Office. "A common little tart using her body to gain her ends."
Harlow played a shameless stenographer who, in the words of Time magazine, "Cooed and screwed her way to the top—and got away with it."
Film critic Leonard Maltin calls this "the sexiest performance in screen history."
There's even a flash of bare breast in one dressing scene with Una Merkel, but you'll probably miss it, because it's only there for a moment.
When news that Harlow had been chosen to star in the picture reached Louis B. Mayer, he warned Thalberg that any consequences that might come from this unsavory project would be on his head.
Thalberg gave the role of supervising producer on the picture to close friend Paul Bern, Harlow's mentor.
When Bern asked Irene Mayer Selznick what she'd think if he married Harlow, "I didn't have to think," Louis B. Mayer's daughter remembered. "I just answered, 'You'd blow your brains out!'"
And he did.
Harold Rosson was the cinematographer on the picture.
After Paul Bern's death, Harlow fell into an affair—and married—Rosson, but it didn't last.
The final, great love of Harlow's life—before her untimely demise in 1937—was William Powell, who reminded her of her mentor, Paul Bern.
Marcel de Sano was originally chosen to direct tonight's picture. And MGM story editor Sam Marx nominated no less than F. Scott Fitzgerald to write the screenplay.
Thalberg approved Fitzgerald's $1,200 a week salary—most of which went toward medical expenses for his mentally ill wife, Zelda.
Working at MGM, the studio brass soon learned that Fitzgerald had a drinking problem.
"He gets drunk (just) sniffing the cork on a bottle of wine," director de Sano observed at the time.
Fitzgerald finished a screenplay, but Thalberg and Bern concluded that the author of "The Great Gatsby" had no real empathy for the character.
It was de Sano who told Fitzgerald that his script had been rejected and that Anita Loos, the author of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," would be writing a new, more satirical version.
According to Sam Marx, Scott Fitzgerald was devastated by the news, and "didn't draw a non-alcoholic breath for a month."
Thalberg then fired director de Sano for telling Fitzgerald that his work has been rejected.
This incident, together with a memorable party at Thalberg's home, inspired a short story Fitzgerald wrote called "CRAZY SUNDAY," which led, in turn, to his famous unfinished novel, "THE LAST TYCOON," eventually made into a 1976 film in which Robert DeNiro played the Thalberg character.
Director de Sano soon committed suicide.
A new director, Jack Conway, was assigned to the project.
He was an efficient craftsman at MGM, making "VIVA VILLA" with Wallace Beery in 1934, "A TALE OF TWO CITIES" with Ronald Colman in 1935, and four films with Harlow, including her last, "SARATOGA," with Clark Gable in 1937.
Costarring in "RED HEADED WOMAN" is Chester Morris, a child actor who played tough guy roles in the '30s, and Boston Blackie in films in the 1940s.
Lewis Stone, best remembered as Judge Hardy in the Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney, has a supporting role.
And Charles Boyer has a cameo role at the end of the film. Unknown in America, Boyer would become the definitive French lover later in the decade, starring opposite Garbo, Dietrich and Hedy Lamarr.
As Thalberg explained to Anita Loos: "We've got a French actor here on a six month option, but I'm letting him go because nobody can understand the guy's English. His option is up in two weeks, which would be just long enough for him to do the part of that chauffeur.
"So take a look at his test and tell me if you think it's worth a rewrite to make the chauffeur a Frenchman."
Production on "RED HEADED WOMAN" began on April 28 and wrapped on May 27, 1932.
When the picture was previewed in Glendale, the audience didn't know what to make of the Harlow character.
So Thalberg added the montage of humorous moments at the start of the film to establish that this was intended as farce.
It didn't matter to the would-be censors. This film, and others like it, led to the repressive Production Code in 1934.
And the Catholic church began discussions that led to the establishment of their own Legion of Decency.
Parts of tonight's film were cut by local censors throughout the country and the picture was banned in England.
But the public loved the film—and Harlow in it!
With the success of "RED HEADED WOMAN," Harlow was rushed into "RED DUST" with MGM's other new, rising star, Clark Gable.
On July 2, 1932, one month after "RED HEADED WOMAN" was released, Jean Harlow married her middle-aged mentor, Paul Bern.
On September 5, Harlow's husband died, an apparent suicide, while "RED DUST" was still in production—just as Irene Meyer Selznick had predicted.
Within five years, Harlow, herself, would be gone.
And now–from 1932— Jean Harlow in the pre-Code classic–

22nd Annual Ambulance Chase to Raise Funds for Cass Community Social Services
Above photo is from the 2006 Ambulance Chase
Each October, the American Bar Association chooses a worthy cause and encourages each ABA approved law school's students to support the cause in their local area. Profits from this year's Ambulance Chase will benefit Cass Community Social Services, a Detroit-based non-profit organization dedicated to making a profound difference in the lives of those in need by providing for basic necessities, including affordable housing, promoting self-reliance, and encouraging community involvement and improvement.
"The Student Bar Association Board of Governors is proud to once again host an event dedicated to enriching the lives of area residents," said Matthew Bates, President of the Wayne State University Law School Student Bar Association Board of Governors. "Last year's race, which benefited the Wayne County chapter of the Michigan Court Appointed Special Advocate Association (CASA), was a great success and raised more than $5,000. We hope to raise even more this year."
Consisting of a 2.2 mile race in which participants run/walk behind an ambulance, the event pokes fun at the stereotype of the "ambulance-chasing lawyer." All proceeds, including a $20 entrance fee, will benefit Cass Community Social Services. In addition, David Moran, Associate Dean of Wayne State University Law School, will donate $20 to the charity for each student who finishes ahead of him and for each female student who finishes within two minutes of him in the "Dean Moran Challenge."
This year's Chase will begin in front of Wayne State University Law School, located at 471 W. Palmer Street. A barbeque for all participants and spectators will take place at the conclusion of the race. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and there is still time to register. Please contact Bryan Kontry, Chair of the Ambulance Chase Committee, at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

They rushed from all corners of Auckland in the pouring rain for the promise of a meeting with one of New Zealand's favourite sons, Dan Carter.
The All Blacks star tweeted pictures of locations around Auckland to his 123,000 Twitter followers of where he would be with All Blacks goodies to give out.
"I really like the idea of playing Santa,'' he tweeted. Carter gave away some of his own All Blacks kit from the team's recent tour to the UK and came up with the plan himself.
Luciana Palmer, 12, made it to the tree Carter was standing under at Mission Bay in seven minutes flat and was rewarded with an autographed bag full of All Blacks gear.
She said it was "really cool'' to meet Carter.
Ben Dominikovich and his mates rushed from Glen Innes to be there.
"We're willing to do anything for DC, eh''.
They were a couple of minutes too late to get any freebies but Carter was happy to have a chat and have his photo taken with them.
Carter said he got the idea from Hollywood actor and wrestler the Rock, who he follows on Twitter.
"It's been a bit of fun. I got a lot of my All Blacks kit sent over from the UK and I didn't really know what to do with it. All my friends and family have got most of it so I just thought it would be a good chance to give something back to the Twitter fans.''
Carter said he planned to spend Christmas with his friends and family, and would head down to the South Island for a couple of weeks.

The 2013 Jewelry + Metalsmithing graduate biennial exhibition includes handknit items and quirky accessories.
Making sure to retain a laser-sharp focus, Mallory Weston MFA 13 JM kept her eyes locked on the precise movements of the drill press. One slip-up could have meant minor disaster: an injured finger or the loss of expensive materials. But after 40 hours of concentrated labor, she managed to cut out the hundreds of small gold-plated copper pieces needed to make Like Wildflowers, an intricate necklace with long chains of iconic symbols from pop culture – peace signs, ankhs, moons, smiley faces, marijuana leaves.
"I was inspired by the concept of rapper bling," Weston explains. "I wanted to create a marvelous piece of gold jewelry – which turned out to be an over-the-top necklace." But even though the piece is exquisitely crafted, she won't be wearing it to her next black-tie affair. "The crescent moons really dig into the neck," the artist notes. "It's too intense for me to put on for long."
Instead, the statement piece is part of Jewel Thieves: I Thought You Said You Made Jewelry?, the 2013 Jewelry + Metalsmithing graduate biennial exhibition on view through April 13 at Sol Koffler Graduate Student Gallery. The collection of handknit items, quirky accessories and unconventional furniture made by a small group of J+M graduate students invites visitors to expand their own concept of adornment and what constitutes wearable art.
"We hope to challenge the notions of jewelry as a commodity," notes Weston. "You could say we've hijacked themes of traditional jewelry and reappropriated them for their own artistic expression."
In addition to the necklace, Weston also crafted Cottontails #1 and Cottontails #2, a pair of furry metal brooches that look as much like a rabbit as the titles imply. And elsewhere in the gallery, visitors can find Smiley Gag, an ironic prop fashioned out of gold-plated copper, silver, steel and a leather strap. Cartoonish characters pictured in her favorite DIY artistic comics inspired the incredibly detailed pieces. "There is often a very humorous and sometimes seductive element to my work," Weston explains. "Many of those themes are threads that runs through the zines I read."
Like Weston's work, the beauty of the exhibition is in the details. For instance, Manuela Jimenez MFA 13 JM made Fading, a wearable ring that - from across the gallery - can be mistaken for a loop of glistening cinders. On closer inspection, viewers discover that the base of the oversized necklace is made of fluffy grey felt, with overlays of shimmery plexiglas pieces.
Jillian Matthews MFA 13 JM created Dark Energy #1 and Viewing Device #1, a series of geometric necklaces from materials that make up the most cold-resistant scuba suits: vinyl, black paint and neoprene. The angular pieces were inspired by Matthews' own interest in space, light and emptiness. The former architect is also showing Drawing Form, a series of wood-paneled brooches made of mahogany, bookbinding linen and brass.
And Kendra Pariseault MFA 13 JM is exhibiting Amelia, a floor-length dress that would aptly fit in with Lady GaGa's most showy red carpet attire. The striking orange and red-hued garment is primarily made of malleable latex and wood fiber, with a series of glittery wing-like protrusions bursting out from the torso. To give the garment even more pop, Pariseault encrusted a thick coating of shiny gems along the hemline.
Attending the exhibition opening last week, Painting grad student Kyle Hittmeier MFA 14 PT joined other viewers in being thoroughly impressed with the quality of the J+M graduate students' work. "The level of craftsmanship and creativity is superior," he notes. "Every piece here is just so well executed." –Abigail Crocker
