It has been remarkable year for Historic Germantown. In June of 2015, we learned that we were one of several organizations selected to receive a prestigious grant from The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. This grant supports our new community art, history and engagement program, Elephants on the Avenue – Race, Class and Community in Historic Germantown. Pairing acclaimed artists and noted historians, Elephants will take us and our community on a two year exploration of race and class – providing artistic entry into these complex issues or "elephants", the things we don't talk about but they are there, ever present and needing attention and audience.
We are grateful to The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage for this amazing opportunity. As one community member aptly pointed out after the first workshop at Historic Germantown's member site, Historic Rittenhouse Town, "this workshop is a gift to the community" and indeed it is. There is no doubt that Historic Germantown is a great repository of amazing history thanks to the vast collection and records of the Germantown Historical Society. This organization works tirelessly to preserve the stories of the many families that built and contributed to the German Township. There isn't a week that goes by that someone doesn't email, call or ring our bell to query about his or her ancestors. Researchers and family historians alike dig into historical records to add to, confirm or piece together a narrative, a framework for understanding what came before.
As much as we are aware of the stories that are easily accessed, we are also concerned about the ones with gaping holes. Projects like Elephants on the Avenue help us hear, learn and amplify the untold, forgotten, ignored and developing stories. As a Germantown resident, I am in awe of the many layered experiences that lives and breathes in this community. Where else can we learn about the lives of those who labored behind the scenes at Deshler-Morris or the sacrifice and courage it took for the Johnson family matriarch to risk her home and business to participate in the Underground Railroad? We get this and more in this vibrant, beautiful and complex community and Historic Germantown is proud to be a part of it. We see ourselves as a community hub and are committed to a balanced telling of both our history and present day stories.
This spring, we are adding another project to our roster of programs intended to artfully support and highlight new narratives. Historic Germantown is partnering with Philadelphia's Poet Laureate and Germantown resident Yolanda Wisher and Parkway Northwest High School for Peace and Social Justice to pilot a youth led program called Historic Germantown's Culture Keepers. Over the course of several workshops, high school students at Parkway will explore Germantown's past and present through tours, geocaching, photography, storytelling, and creative writing. Culture Keepers will build their leadership, teamwork, technical, and creative skills as they facilitate and digitally record community dialogues and write poems and performance pieces based on the stories they have heard. Ultimately, we hope to form Historic Germantown's first Youth Advisory Board and create a Youth Assistant Docent Assistant program.
We invite you to stay tuned to learn about our efforts and to continue to support us and our 16 member sites as we tell the remarkable stories from the past and embrace the untold, forgotten and present day narratives.
On Holidays in Germantown, Then and Now by George Stern
When I was a boy growing up in a row home on Pleasant St. in East Mt. Airy, some neighbors suggested that, for Christmas, we all install alternating green and red lights outside our doors. My parents hesitated, since celebrating Christmas was not exactly on our Jewish agenda. However, not wanting to destroy the pattern, they decided to conform –and to simply leave that light up all year. Fortunately, our assigned color was green. And for the many years we remained in that house, it was easily identified at night: "Just look for the green light," we used to tell guests.
Recently I spent several hours in the Pat Henning Library and Archives of Historic Germantown, poking around in the Germantown Crier and its predecessor, The Beehive, looking for anecdotes about past Christmas celebrations in Greater Germantown.
Two themes struck me. First, the commercialization of Christmas was already quite pronounced almost a hundred years ago. An article in the December 1929 Beehive began:
In these modern times no holy day has been more traduced than Christmas. Instead of observing in a joyful, yet dignified way the birthday of a great man, when truths of the greatest significance should be taught, it has become a season of perplexity and worry to many, while others give but a passing thought, or none at all, to the real meaning of the day.
The article went on to talk about "The Real Meaning of Christmas" as taught to Indians in 1701, including the religiously significant Biblical verse, "God so loved the world (or man, sic) that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever receiveth Him should not perish but should have everlasting life."
Perhaps the lament of the author was brought on by an in the December 1927 Beehive that gushed: "All the Germantown kiddies are invited to call and meet the 'King of Gifts' [Santa Claus] in person. Toytown is overflowing with Dolls, Toys and Novelties of all kinds. Don't miss it." Many readers might recall the department stores on Chelten Avenue, one of which placed this ad in the December 1955 issue of the Crier: "Enter into the Spirit of Christmas Thru the Doorway of C.A. Rowell Germantown…"
A second theme also jumped out at me. The notion that "all the kiddies" were invited to Toytown, and the ease with which the first article I cited apparently presumed that everyone reading it would agree with its religious sentiments, reminded me how easy it is for people to simply assume that their ways and their beliefs are universally shared. Even in 2013, when we have learned to be more sensitive to America's diversity, many of us – maybe most or indeed all of us – are not immune from expressing "innocent" notions that in fact marginalize others.
My parents, way back in the early '50s, figured out a creative way to honor both our neighbors' good intentions and our own desire – and right – not to be like them in every aspect of our lives.
Today's Northwest Philadelphia is a pretty comfortable place for almost anyone of good intentions to put down roots. Whether you celebrated Chanukah already or are looking forward to Christmas and Kwanzaa, Solstice, or just the New Year, I hope these weeks will prove to be times of happiness, enlightenment, and communal strength.
While the Battle Raged by George Stern
October 4, 1777, wasn't the best day for the Patriots here in Philadelphia. On that day the Battle of Germantown, fought around the house at the corner of what we know as Germantown Avenue and Johnson St., put a halt to Washington's hope of retaking Philadelphia, the "capital" of the now rebelling colonies. The battle was the prelude to the infamous winter at Valley Forge.
Once again this year – on Saturday, October 5, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. – the building which as kids we called "the Chew House" (members of the Chew family lived there until the early 1970s) and which is now known by its formal name, "Cliveden" – will once again host activities for all ages and two hundred Revolutionary War buffs re-enacting the battle. The Patriots will undoubtedly try hard to take the house from the Brits ensconced there. Whether nor not they will be confused by fog as were their predecessors 236 years ago remains to be seen. But it's a pretty sure bet they will once again be forced to retreat.
Recently I chatted with Carolyn Wallace, the Program Coordinator at Historic Germantown and Museum Coordinator at Cliveden. In preparing for this blog, I told her that I really didn't want to write about the battle itself. Plenty of ink—and artists' paints – have been spilled doing that (there are two paintings in Cliveden depicting the battle, one romantic, the other probably a bit more realistic). But, I wondered, how were Cliveden and the other historic buildings along the Great Road (Germantown Avenue) affected by the battle? What do we know about how the people in the area fared?
The American troops tried to flush the Redcoats out of Cliveden by pummeling it with cannon balls. They even tried to set fire to the house, but to no avail. (Last year I was stationed in the house during the "attack," and I can tell you I am very much alive.) The house did sustain damage, however, as witnessed by the cannon ball marks still visible on the exterior. In addition, once they returned to the house, the Chew family actually preserved some interior damage done on the first floor, holes that you can see when you visit the house today. On the second floor there is also a faint trace of what purports to be blood of a British soldier who was stationed there – a tall tale, perhaps, but a reminder that war is real, and dangerous.
What else was going on as the battle raged? Most of the Chews themselves, wealthy Philadelphians for whom the house on Germantown Avenue was but a summer home, were already back in the city. But Benjamin, scion of the family and suspected loyalist, was under house arrest in Union Forge, NJ, at the home of an uncle-in-law (yes, even then the well connected were treated with more deference than others – even if their patriotism was suspect).
Imagine the fright felt by the Johnson family, hidden in the basement of their home (the Johnson House, 6306 Germantown Avenue, at Washington Lane), as a musket ball penetrated the door and walls upstairs. A fence on display at the Germantown Historical Society (5501 Germantown Avenue, on Market Square at School House Lane) shows the pockmarks of musket balls allegedly from the battle itself.
(The fence from outside the Johnson House)
Wyck (6026 Germantown Avenue, at Walnut Lane) served as a hospital for the wounded of both sides. Continental dead were buried in the cemetery next to the Concord School (6309 Germantown Avenue, between Johnson St. and Washington Lane).
The stain on the parlor floor at Grumblethorpe (home of the Wister family, at 5267 Germantown Avenue, at Queen Lane) is said to be the blood of British General James Agnew, who had bivouacked there, left for the battle, was wounded, stumbled back, and died.
Stenton (4601 N. 18th St., at Windrim Avenue) was used as headquarters by British general Sir William Howe. He also occupied the Deshler-Morris House (5442 Germantown Avenue, between School House Lane and Coulter St.).
Philadelphia was home to many Loyalists as well as Patriots. It is interesting to note that Musgrave St., east of Germantown Avenue, is named after Colonel Thomas Musgrave, bivouacked with his men in the orchard behind Cliveden.
Fifty-seven Continentals and 71 British and their allies lost their lives during the Americans' assault on Cliveden. Civilians seem to have escaped unharmed, though one can only imagine their trauma. Little did they know that the war would rage on for six more years.
Tom McGuire and the Battle of Germantown
This year leading up to the battle we wanted to highlight a few different perspectives from the faithful people who get involved and make this annual event a success. We have great supporters and so we wanted to share some insight into why they keep coming back. This blog features an interview with Tom McGuire who joins us each year to share his expertise about the battle with presentations and narrations of each reenactment.
1. What interests you most about the Battle of Germantown and when did you first learn about the re-enactment?
Tom McGuire: I have been interested in the Battle of Germantown ever since I first read about it as a child nearly fifty years ago. The idea of a house being turned into a fortress captured my imagination, and I can still vividly recall my first glimpse of Cliveden in October, 1974. I was a senior in high school, and now with my drivers' license, I was able to find Cliveden while on my way to watch a football game at Penn Charter one Friday afternoon. The following year I was a participant in one of the first reenactments ever held there, and have participated each year since 1977.
What do you enjoy about the Germantown Reenactment each year?
Tom McGuire: There is a sense of timelessness about the old house. The fact that Cliveden is the original building, and the furniture is the family furniture makes it one of the most unique sites in the nation. The "old house" smell inside–wood, plaster, wax polish–and its cool, dimly lit interiors create a genteel atmosphere. The history there is real, and Battle Day helps to bring public awareness to the site. It is a great honor and delight for me to be part of the event each year, and I always greatly look forward to it.
About: Tom McGuire is a noted historian and teacher. He is the author of several works on the Philadelphia Campaign during the American Revolution, including
The Surprise of Germantown: Or, the Battle of Cliveden, October 4th, 1777
The Philadelphia Campaign: Volume One: Brandywine and the Fall of Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Campaign: Volume Two: Germantown and the Roads to Valley Forge (Philadelphia Campaign)
Battle of Paoli
Stop the Revolution: America in the Summer of Independence and the Conference for Peace
Come out and meet Mr. Tom McGuire and hear his vivid narration of the Surprise of Germantown at 10:45am and 1:45pm, only at the Revolutionary Germantown Festival on Saturday October 5, 2013 at Cliveden, 6401 Germantown Ave. 10am-4pm
Noah Lewis, Battle Reenactor Edward "Ned" Hector
This year leading up to the battle we wanted to highlight a few different perspectives from the faithful people who get involved and make this annual event a success. They join us each year on the front line so we wanted to give you some insight into why they keep coming back. This blog features an interview with Noah Lewis who joins us each year as re-enactor Edward "Ned" hector, a hero from The Battle of Brandywine.
1. What interests you most about the Battle of Germantown?
Noah Lewis: What interested me the most about the Battle of Germantown, was knowing that Edward Hector actually fought there. Reading the account of Proctor's four cannons fiercely bombarding the front of the Chew House, brings images to mind of Ned Hector in the thick of battle.
2. When did you first learn about the re-enactment of the Battle of Germantown?
Noah Lewis: I first learned about the battle of Germantown during my research, I read a report given to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1827 stating that Ned Hector fought in that battle. A national park ranger named Joseph Becton, later to become a living history mentor for me, felt my attendance of this re-enactment would be a great help in my understanding of this event, as well as aid towards my becoming an effective living historian.
3. What drew you to being a re-enactor?
Noah Lewis: Like many people, my assumptions about colonial black people were faulty. I thought all African-Americans during this period were poor, they all were slaves, and if they were in the military all they were was manual laborers. As I researched into Ned Hector and many other African-Americans living during the colonial period I found the facts to be astounding and far richer than I had imagined. I was angry that I had not been taught these facts in school until, a fellow African-American suggested that we should be on the forefront of teaching our own history. Since there are more African-Americans presenting the Civil War and not as many doing the colonial period, I thought there was a greater need for me to stay in the colonial period as a black living historian. Fortunately I had a lot of support from many historians, re-enactors, historical sites, and the public.
4. What do you enjoy about the Germantown re-enactment every year?
Noah Lewis: What I enjoy about the Germantown reenactment is it is actually done on site, in the very structure the battle took place at. I don't know many sites that would allow that. This gives a real sense of the true realism to this event. I feel honored to add in this remembrance of those who made us a free nation.
About Noah Lewis: Mr. Lewis was born in Heidelberg, Germany and presently lives on the outskirts of Philadelphia in Upper Darby. He has a degree in biology and worked in the field, but now presents living history at schools, historical sites, and historical events.
Mr. Lewis authored "Edward 'Ned' Hector – Revolutionary War Hero", and is presently writing Ned Hector's biography. He began presenting the hero Ned Hector in 1996 at Bywood School, where he would attend his daughter's 4th grade class and do presentations on electricity and biology. His daughter's teacher asked if he had any presentations for the subject of colonial America. During genealogy research of his family he had learned about a black continental soldier who fought in the Battle of Brandywine and was held in such high regard by his community that they named a street after him in the mid 1850's. He was amazed and fascinated by Edward Hector and the heritage of other black historical figures who contributed to America's freedom. He presented Edward "Ned" Hector to his daughters class, in period dress, and just continued presenting. Noah presented Ned in 28 schools that year and 43 the following year.
He feels blessed to have the opportunity to continue with this tribute, and to aid in helping others to appreciate the contribution that Black people made to the freedom of all Americans. He hopes that the souls of these amazing contributors to our freedom will rest peacefully by giving them the honor they were denied for so many years.
Come out and meet Mr. Noah Lewis as Edward "Ned" Hector at the Revolutionary Germantown Festival on Saturday October 5, 2013 at Cliveden, 6401 Germantown Ave. 10am-4pm
School Bells Are Ringing by George Stern
It's 8:45 a.m., and the bell in the belfry of Germantown Academy (then at the corner of School House Lane and Greene St.) is calling us to our morning program. Writing a history of Germantown Academy in the second issue of the Germantown Crier, Wilbur Oda said, "The bell has a romantic story. Brought over in the tea ship Polly in 1774, it was turned back with the rest of her cargo and rested in England until 1784 when it again voyaged across the Atlantic and was at last hung in the belfry for which it was cast. Since then it has rung out the assembling hour for many generations of Academy boys."
With all the agony over the School Distract of Philadelphia, I decided that it would be appropriate for my first blog for Freedom's Backyard to take a look at Germantown's earliest schools. Since I graduated in GA's last Germantown (1965) and witnessed the controversy over the removal of that bell to the Fort Washington campus, I started a little research there. The Germantown Union School House opened in 1761 and was incorporated as the Public School of Germantown in 1784. Students chose either English or German classes. The school was unique in that had no religious affiliation. Its first prospectus said that "the said schoolhouse shall be free to all persons of what denomination soever and wheresoever residing, to send their children thereto, without any regard to name or sect of people…." One of its earliest board members was Col. Isaac Franks, a Jewish military man who at the time owned the Deshler-Morris House ("the Germantown White House"), which he rented to George Washington during his early presidency. Washington's stepson George Washington Parke Custis attended GA.
An anecdote that I found especially interesting this era of school defunding is the following: "There must have been some merit in his [David James Dove's] teaching methods, for in December, 1761, the trustees, who regularly sent a committee to visit the classes, gave Dove forty shillings for distribution 'among the schoolboys in such manner as he may think proper as a gratuity for their expertness and aptitude in their learning, the Trustees present having an opportunity of hearing several of them to satisfaction.' At the same time, Dove, also, was given a bonus." Today we might consider such courses as art and music, and the presence of sufficient counselors, as rewards due children.
Not many years later the Concord School was founded, in part because of "the Distance and particular Inconvenience through the Winter Seasons of Sending their Children to the Lower School," i.e., Germantown Academy, only one mile away. Parents have always been concerned about the location of their children's schools, even when, as in 1775, safety was not a factor. (Similarly, Germantown High was built a hundred years ago as a result of pressure from families protesting the lack of a high school in the neighborhood.)
Concord School minutes from 1814 attest to the presence of both black and white students. Similarly the Emlen School (which I also attended) was integrated from the day it opened in 1926, as was Germantown High. I'll share more about often strained race relations at the high school at another time, but the fact remains that racial integration in Germantown schools is at least two centuries old.
Excellent schools, then – often founded at the insistence of parents, — are nothing new to this part of the City. Our challenge today is to keep them that way.
George Stern grew up in Mt. Airy and, after many years away, moved back in 2002. He attended Emlen and Houston Schools, then graduated from Germantown Academy in 1965, the last graduating class in Germantown. An ordained rabbi, George served a New York suburban congregation from 1972 to 1999. From 2002 to 2011 he was Executive Director of the Neighborhood Interfaith Movement (NIM). Currently he is the coordinator of a Friends-based older adult project in Center City and serves as President of JSPAN, the Jewish Social Policy Action Network, which seeks to expand its coverage of social justice issues in the city and state and on the national scene. George and his wife, Deborah, the Library Director at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, are parents of two adult children and two grandchildren, one of whom attends Green Street Friends School.
Joe Becton, Battle of Germantown Re-enactor, Celebrating the Heritage of African American Soldiers
This year leading up to the battle we wanted to highlight a few different perspectives from the faithful people who get involved and make this annual event a success. Whether they join us each year behind the scenes or on the front line we wanted to give you all some insight into the battle. Our first blog features Mr. Joe Becton, a long-time supporter and African American re-enactor.
1. What interests you most about the Battle of Germantown?
Mr. Becton: The battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin are Philadelphia's two military actions. The Quakers stood for peace, consequently there were only two battles fought here. This is a special Philadelphia story: War vs. Peace!
2. When did you first learn about the re-enactment of the Battle of Germantown?
Mr. Becton: In 1985 I worked as a seasonal at Valley Forge and was introduced to the Philadelphia campaign.
3. What drew you to being a re-enactor?
Mr. Becton: Necessity, There are very few people telling the story of the African participation in the birth and development of this nation and the definition of freedom. The Germantown festival gives us a platform to deliver our Story.
Here is a short list of Africans who served at Germantown in the Continental Army.

Rebecca Hanbury & Alex Groves
Expectations: 3/5
Reality Rating: 5/5
Fidget Factor: 0.2
Pop, Scratch, Crackle – Memories Ignite
In just a single hour, two young ladies show us the worlds of fifty women. Uncovering stories of civil war, terminal illness and pyromaniacs. Sounds heavy? Born Mad theatre company compile these events with blissful moments of love and happiness to convey the whole picture of sisterly bonds.
Writer, Rebecca Hanbury, has created the script through real life stories from nearly fifty women and girls across the UK. Exploring what bonds families, or tears them apart. Teasing one another to eat cat food, playing hairdressers in the bath and meeting her first boyfriend in his auto mobile, a pedal bike. Joy filled stories cause laughter and delight. The traumatic tales are told with such intensity and sensitivity they compel the audience to feel fear and heartbreak. Crumbling houses, fires burning and unforgivable secrets. Those in the audience who have sisters will hold their own versions of the memories being shared. One woman's relationship in particular overwhelmed the audience, with nearly the entire auditorium in tears. Karen's story; suffering from terminal cancer she makes it her last mission to attend her sisters wedding. Daisy Brown tells this story with emotional sensitivity and tenderness.
Born Mad's production of SISTER was not at all what I expected. Curiosity sparked when entering the space – a table laid out with several trays, each with obscure props on display; tea pots, books, baked beans and a colander were amongst the mix. A collection of microphones are scattered across the stage. Before the production begins, I suspect an experimental piece of theatre is in store. What unravels is a breathtaking production, full of layered imagination. Pop, scratch, swomp and crackle, all the sounds during the show are created organically; sieving rice to make rain, pouring jugs of water and giggling into microphones for bathroom scenes and lighting matches to make flames. Igniting our senses, these audio additions to the story telling give the memories powerful aesthetics. Kudos to the sound technician who keeps up with all of the effects during the show.
Daisy Brown and Nia Coleman make a beautiful collaboration of actors, performing with enriched emotion, delicate enthusiasm and at times in perfect unison, even their voices in sync.Brown and Coleman capture the essence of a dozen personalities, each with their own mannerisms and idiosyncrasies. They display a multiple array of accents, Irish, Algerian, East End, and more, a skill which goes unrecognised for a while due to the stories consuming our full attention. Above their sublime acting ability, it is their heavenly choir voices which vibrate through our skin and bring a new understanding of sanctity – the perfect tool to show how a bond with a sister really feels.
Extremely moving, Sister is a sensational production in every meaning of the word; taking over our senses, making other peoples lives personal to the audience. Without question, this is one of the best formed productions Scatter has seen this year – every element of the production explored and devised with care and attention. It would be a tragedy if this production doesn't transfer for a longer period to another venue soon.

The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine develops, promotes and disseminates better evidence for healthcare.
September 5, 2016
Prof Richard Stevens
Professor Richard Stevens is Course Director for the MSc in EBHC Medical Statistics.
What was your earliest ambition?
When I was at primary school I wanted to be a scientist, or a teacher. As it turns out, I'm a bit of both.
Who has been your biggest inspiration?
I admire statisticians like Martin Bland, Doug Altman and Stephen Senn, whose motivation and preoccupation is to make sure that medical science is done right. I do also respect the mathematical ability of the statisticians who are determined to create new methods, new formulae and new maths; but actually, usually what medical science needs most is a careful use of the methods and formulae we already have.
A great example is one of Martin and Doug's classic papers, advocating the approach we now know as the "Bland-Altman difference plot" (Lancet, 8th February 1986, page 307-311). They weren't motivated by creating new methods (Martin Bland wrote later that he didn't even know if it was new.) They were driven to stamp out an all-too-common erroneous analysis. That paper has been cited tens of thousands of times and I'm sure it will continue to inspire future medical researchers to use graphical methods in a context where a correlation coefficient misleads. For me, that's inspiring in a way that no theorem, no matter how clever the algebra, could ever be.
Why did you get into EBM?
That's an odd question to ask a statistician. Why would you base medical decisions on anything but evidence?
What do you feel has made the most difference in EBM?
Again, that's an odd question to ask a statistician! You might expect me to answer that great statistics are the key, but you can't work alongside the team from healthtalk.org, as we do at CEBM, without realising that qualitative research has a role to play too.
Describe your approach to research in three words.
Ask right questions.
What do you like most about teaching?
That moment when "the penny drops", as the saying goes – that moment when students faces respond as something makes sense for the first time. Sometimes it's something they thought they understood already but didn't; sometimes it's something they thought they'd never be able to grasp. Some of our students are daunted when we hand them a calculator in a teaching session, but by the end of the session they'll be the ones most delighted to find that actually, they can do this. No-one with the IQ to become a healthcare professional lacks the ability to understand statistics; they just need the right moment, with the right teaching for them.
Do you have any regrets about becoming a doctor/DPhil?
What has been your most innovative piece of teaching?
When we hosted the Burwalls annual meeting for medical statistics teachers (yes, there really is such a national meeting), I organised a number of events to encourage innovation including a teaching competition. The competitors were challenged to make the best five-minute introduction to statistics for medical students. (I entered my own competition and came second – but there's no shame in coming second to CEBM's excellent Prof Daniel Lasserson!) I was especially pleased that we recruited current and new medical students to be the judging panel at a statistics teaching event. Great teaching has to be driven by the needs of the audience.
When are you having the most fun at work?
When I'm teaching one of my favourite sessions, and the class are coming alive with ideas and contributions. The exciting thing about the Graduate School in EBHC and Research Methods is that the students in the room at any one time are so diverse, with backgrounds in anything from midwifery to neurosurgery, and they all have professional expertise – often international expertise – in their own fields. Making the most of that diversity, drawing out the commonalities as well as the differences in their research fields, showing how what we teach is relevant to all of them, adding value to everything they know already, and often learning as I go new perspectives from them and their diverse clinical fields – I have to be on the top of my game, as a teacher, with these postgraduate/CPD classes, but it's a real buzz.
If you weren't a doctor/teacher what would you be doing instead?
During the final year of my undergraduate studies, I got to the last round of interviews for the post of Clerk of the House of Lords – but no further. Meanwhile back at University, my college (Oriel, Oxford) sent me to Dr Raymond Flood, a founding member of Kellogg College for statistics tutorials, which inspired me to do an M.Sc., which led to a PhD… Twenty-five years later I'm a Fellow at Kellogg College, like Dr Flood … and very glad I'm not devoting my life to procedures and paperwork in Westminster.
What do you find hardest when teaching?
Perhaps keeping to time. When students are engaged and enjoying the class, they interact and contribute, which encourages digression and all adds to the learning – but I hate to over-run by more than a couple of minutes: by the end of a ninety minute stats class everyone needs to reach the coffee room before all the chocolate biscuits are gone.
If you were given £1 million for research, what would you do?
I'd set up a one-time funding competition for orphaned research ideas. Existing funders all have their own predefined agendas, for obvious reasons, but sometimes important ideas can fall through the gaps. To get approved by my funding panel, you'd have to show that your question mattered to patients, that your research methods were strong – and that previous funding bodies had already turned you down!
What one resource should every EBM enthusiast read?
If you haven't found Stephen Senn's satirical articles about statistics in pharmaceutical research, written under the pseudonym "Guernsey McPearson", you're missing a treat.

Are You In The Note Business For The Wrong Reasons?
By Fred Rewey
The act of buying privately held mortgage notes is a lot of things to a lot of different people. For some, it is a means of investing money and getting a good return on that investment. These 'Investors' prefer a predetermined return on investment, backed by real estate, without the hassles of owning real estate. Owning real estate, particularly rental properties, comes with tenants – which, even under the best of circumstances can become strained as the property needs upkeep. Nope, … [Read more...]

MICHAEL DESSEN TRIO – Forget The Pixel (CF 222)
Un po' come Steve Lehman, Vijay Iyer, Jason Robinson e il suo mentore George Lewis, Dessen ès os pesotra pratica concertis ti caericerca accademica (alcunisuoi scritti sono in mdessen.com/, sezionewriting), sufficientemente colto e preparato da evitare che la dimensione acustica confini quela elettronica a mero abbeli-mento o vice versa. Questo cd prosegue con coerenza il lavoro cominciato con «Between Shadow And Space». Al posto di Tyshawn Sorey c'è l'altrettanto valido (e richiestissimo) Weiss, ricercatore timbrico nei branipiùlenti. La musica, non dele più accessibili, contempla gorgogli elettronici, suoni dettagliatissimi e tensioni silenziose, dove tutti, specialmente un ispirato e determinante Tordini, danno il meglio di sé.Per visualizzare e ascoltare alcune porzioni del brano eponimo, figlio di una partitura chemischia semiografia contemporanea es egnal etiche ala Braxton, sicerchisu Youtube «Michael Dessen Trio Forget The Pixel Score/Excerpt».

Michael Dessen Trio – Forget the Pixel (CF 222)
Michael Dessen is a California-based trombonist, a former member of/composer for the memorable band Cosmologic and a frequent colleague of bassist Mark Dresser. At one time a student of George Lewis, Dessen appropriately combines brilliant trombone skills with interests in electronics and novel compositional strategies. His trio includes bassist Christopher Tordini and drummer Dan Weiss and he describes Forget the Pixel as an "hour-long cycle of music designed for this trio to perform in a single, continuous set. "The end result is a remarkable achievement. If the timbral possibilities of a trombone-bass-drum band might seem limited, Dessen varies things with electronics and the trio maintains constant interest through a multi-leveled interaction of compositional methodologies, collective improvisation and polyrhythmic exploration. There are multiple senses of movement and development going on at once in this music, as it makes its way from the furious swing, jazzy bluster and electronics of the opening "Fossils and Flows" to the serene conclusion of "The Utopian Sense of Green", in which the players summon up all the calm and grace of a Japanese garden. Along the way, the music repeatedly finds original dimensions, as in the elongated dialogue of "Three Sepals", a piece that is born in Dessen's sweetly traditional legato trombone then gradually opens into a field in which first Tordini, then the others seem to beetching the barest rhythmic and melodic materials on silence. A similarly broad canvas on the title track becomes a series of micro-explosions and dislocations: Dessen's opening vocalic explosion gradually accumulates an electronic self-commentary; there are passages of pointillist scattershot bass and a long trio sequence in which Weiss' snare drum seems to tie together the group's multiple rhythms in a compact bundle. It's fascinating work by an exceptional group of musicians, at times combining the cheery openness of song with a sense of underlying tectonic mystery.
San Diego Reader's Best of 2011 list by Robert Bush
The International Top Ten Jazz Releases 2011
These are the ten best CDs to cross my path in 2011, regardless of geography. Some of them were recorded in New York, LA, and Portugal. Even still, the San Diego connection remains strong. Bert Turetzky, Mark Dresser, Peter Sprague and Geoffrey Keezer all released discs of global importance. Additionally, two musicians on this top-ten list spent years in San Diego: trombonists George Lewis and Michael Dessen. The final SD connection belongs to Jeff Kaiser, whose record label pfMENTUM is also represented.
1. Vinny Golia Octet Music For Baritone Saxophone ( NineWinds) Woodwind virtuoso Golia put together an adventurous and accessible recording with his stellar octet. Terrific arrangements and compositions and excellent solos from everyone, especially Golia's monstrous "Tubax," a refinement of the contrabass saxophone.
2. Bert Turetzky, George Lewis, Vinny Golia Triangulation II (Kadima Collective) No charts, no tunes, no discussions, just three of the world's heaviest players improvising in the moment. Free jazz at its finest.
3. Michael Dessen Trio Forget The Pixel (Clean Feed)
Trombone / electronics master Dessen forges 21st century jazz with very few precedents. NYC compatriots Christopher Tordini's bass and the multidirectional drums of Dan Weiss nail the constantly shifting metric landscapes of Dessen's formidable compositions.
4. Bobby Bradford, Mark Dresser, Glenn Ferris Live In LA (Clean Feed)
Bradford has been a beacon for the free-improvising community in LA since the 1960s. This free-bop date sizzles from start to finish with elliptical, swinging solos and rock solid rhythms.
5. Dennis Gonzalez / Joao Paulo So Soft Yet (Clean Feed)
Dallas, Texas based trumpeter Gonzalez turns in an exquisite duet with pianist / accordion player Paulo. Extremely lyrical, the two men communicate on a deep level. Some of the pieces with electric piano hearken back to Miles Davis' groundbreaking 1970s work. Sublime and surprising. Portuguese label Clean Feed is on this list multiple times for good reason.
6. Dick Wood Not Far From Here (pfMENTUM)
Another excellent example of where jazz might be heading in the 21st century, Woods combines Mark Trayle's live electronics seamlessly into his core group of Hal Onserud on bass, Marty Mansour on percussion and Dan Clucas on trumpet. Wood takes elements of Ornette Coleman and John Zorn into his writing and improvising, and kicks ass throughout.
7. Trio M The Guest House (Enja)
Bay Area pianist Myra Melford, NYC drummer Matt Wilson and San Diego bassist Mark Dresser explore multiple improvising scenarios with compositions from each member. This collection ranges from the pensive to the furious.
8. Geoffrey Keezer / Peter Sprague Band Mill Creek Road (SBE Records) This disc represents yet another idea of where jazz music might be leaning in the future. Synthesizing elements from the bebop, world-music and free aesthetics, the influences of Chick Corea and Pat Metheny shine through in this album of wide variation and virtuosic execution.
9. Daniel Rosenboom Septet Fallen Angeles (Nine Winds)
Rosenboom's tart, precise, clarion-call trumpet is joyously combined with the astringent alto saxophone of Gavin Templeton and the startling bass clarinet maneuvers of Brian Walsh in a frontline ably supported by David Rosenboom's piano, Sam Minaie's bass and Caleb Dolister's drumming.
10. Vinny Golia Quartet Take Your Time (Relative Pitch)
Golia's quartet combines long-time associates Bobby Bradford's trumpet, Alex Cline's drums and Ken Filiano's bass in an ecstatic program of compositions that reference the work of Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman. Every solo tells a story in this wildly swinging collection.

JazzWord review by Ken Waxman
Michael Dessen Trio – Forget the Pixel (CF 222)
Joe Fiedler Trio – Sacred Chrome Orb (Yellow Sound Music)
Perhaps there's more than a kernel of truth in those clichés about energetic New Yorkers and laid-back Californians. How else could one explain the massive variance between performances on these discs, each featuring a bassist, a drummer and a trombonist-leader playing original compositions by the brass man? In a way it's a difference between lively and listless.
It's not that Forget the Pixel is that enervated. It's just that a certain sameness seems to permeate the seven compositions by trombonist Michael Dessen. Dessen, an academic with an interest in new technologies as well as telematic performances in multiple locations, adds computer wave forms to this disc in order to enhance the low-key proceedings. The results curve and undulate nicely, but not enough to alter the air of lethargic moderation that permeates the disc. Besides some rapid capillary movements from Dessen in the JJ Johnson lineage however, the most affecting overall performance is the title track. Here at least brushes-directed ruffs and bounces, spelled with an occasional martial beat, from drummer Dan Weiss, coupled with speedy stops as well as sul ponticello slides from bassist Christopher Tordini provide back-up for the trombonist's slurs, puffs and squeezes.
Weiss, who has worked with saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, and the bassist, who has played with saxophonist Greg Osby, have established their dependability in the past. Meanwhile Dessen, who has been part of the West Coast-based Cosmological band with saxophonist Jason Robinson and others, has similarly demonstrated his musical skills elsewhere. Maybe a concentration on performances over the internet with players in different locations has dulled his live presentation.
Moving eastward, there's certainly no hesitation on Sacred Chrome Orb as the trio handles 15 compositions by trombonist Joe Fiedler. An adaptor of the multiphonics pioneered by German trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, Fiedler has worked in the bands of multi-reedist Anthony Braxton, pianist Satoko Fujii and even pop star Jennifer Lopez. The third CD by this trio, the band is filled out by bassist John Hébert, who has worked with cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum; and drummer Michael Sarin, first call percussionist for bands ranging from those led by bassist Mark Helias' to saxophonist Tim Berne.
Throughout Sarin's percussion smarts allow him to vary his beat so that at points it sounds as if he's whopping a conga drum and elsewhere as if he playing patterns on a dumbek. The later is especially apparent on "Ethiopia", influenced by pop singer from that African country, which is also enlivened with the drummer's tick-tock rim shot and cymbal colors, as the trombonist blasts out tremolo grace notes and blurry cross tones.
Hébert shows out his guitar-like facility on "Next Phase" accompanying a guttural, double-tongued line from Fiedler. Meanwhile "Two Kooks" demonstrates how extended brass techniques including splintered and splayed slide positions and decorated grace notes can swing alongside a heavy backbeat. The thematic line is extended still further by Fiedler on "Chicken", with rubato slurs and triple-tongued fluttering shading the lively performance. As Sarin clip-clops and rebounds, and Hébert holds down the rhythmic bottom, the trombonist elongates and shortens his breaths for melodic invention.
One would figure in different circumstances – was there a jet-lag drawback in this Lisbon-recorded disc for instance? – that Dessen's three would put in a less time-marking performance. As these CDs stack up though, the session from the Easterners is definitely more appealing than the one from the West Coasters.
Downbeat review by Bill Meyer
Michael Dessen trio – Forget the Pixel (CF 222)
Trombonists were jazz's original electronicists. While they've shared the responsibility for creating sound effects with trumpeters—the Duke Ellington Orchestra had Bubber Miley as well as Tricky Sam Nanton—what acoustic instrument better provides volume, brightness, malleability and purely sensual sound? George Lewis has played slide trombone and electronics with equal facility, and his former student Michael Dessen makes the two instruments work as one on Forget The Pixel. Dessen switches between voluptuous lyricism and digitally distorted splatter, and his shifts between those poles never feel forced or arbitrary. This is the trio's second album, and it sounds like the work of a gigging band. How much of this work took place with all three men in the same room is open to conjecture. Dessen lives and teaches in Irvine, Calif., a continent away from his New York-based confederates, but he is a pioneer in telematics, the practice of long-distance, real-time collaboration. But whether their chemistry was forged with the assistance of bandwidth or frequent flyer miles, it's real. You can hear it in the way Christopher Tordini's figures sway and give under the influence of Dan Weiss's martial snare beats on "Licensed Unoperators (For Lisle)." It's also evident on "Herdiphany," where they supply stop-start responses to the pitch-shifted squiggles that Dessen pokes their way like some cartoon rabbit sticking out his impossibly elongated tongue at hunters who are both his dogged nemeses and closest associates. These guys don't just play together—they're playing. This playfulness, as much as their fluid negotiations of Dessen's jagged rhythms and elaborate melodies, is the spoonful of sugar that make these rigorous improvisations go down easy.
All About Jazz Italy review by Vincenzo Roggero
Michael Dessen Trio – Forget the Pixel (CF 222)
Valutazione: 3.5 stelle
I brani sono sette ma l'ora di musica contenuta in Forget the Pixel (bel titolo preso dalla prima riga del poema di Phillis Levin "Open Field") può essere vista come un'unica suite, concepita già all'origine per una esibizione senza interruzioni del trio. Il trio, per l'appunto, ma dovremmo parlare di quartetto perché l'elettronica utilizzata dal leader, il trombonista Michael Dessen, è a tutti gli effetti il quarto strumento utilizzato per la registrazione.
Già da diversi anni studioso degli sviluppi nell'uso di computer, live processing e sampling come pratica improvvisativa e soprattutto di sue possibili formalizzazioni in modelli, Dessen utilizza l'elettronica non in senso coloristico ma come paritario interlocutore delle libere improvvisazioni. Così che, anche la sua assenza o i momenti di minimo utilizzo, incidono profondamente sulla registrazione che è una sorta di manuale non scritto sull'interazione tra scrittura e improvvisazione.
Vi è inoltre un lavoro sulle scomposizioni ritmiche, sullo sviluppo di cellule melodiche e su di una concezione avventurosa della fluidità espressiva che risulta notevole anche grazie all'apporto di due grandi musicisti come il percussionista Dan Weiss (assai noto anche dalle nostre parti) e il contrabbassista Chris Tordini (meno noto ma altrettanto rimarchevole). L'approccio strumentale e improvvisativo di Dessen è molto personale, ricorda alcune cose sperimentali di George Lewis con una maggior propensione ad inglobare elementi di musica colta europea e contemporanea.
Complessivamente Forget the Pixel, nonostante qualche momento un po' dispersivo, è un ottimo esempio di musica avventurosa e pienamente accessibile.

"With Mt. Juliet growing like it is, the Air Force decided to move in," stated Technical Sergeant Brandon Herrington, enlisted accessions recruiter.
Charlie Daniels attended the ribbon cutting of the new center recently.
The new location is set directly across from the Mt. Juliet Post Office at 2592 North Mount Juliet Road and is open from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. TSgt Herrington can be reached at 758-8969 or through email at email@example.com.
Because of the community's growing population TSgt Herrington and the Air Force are eager to see the benefits of the new center.
Those interested in serving the country through the United States Air Force are encouraged to take advantage of this new opportunity within the Mt. Juliet Community.

I have to admit, I don't have children so I'm not exactly juggling a whole lot around here. But, I used to work full time while my husband coached baseball for a living and since he was home most of the time, he took on the role of what we call "House Manager".
Eventually, he retired from coaching and entered the corporate world. California Bay Area commute and all. (Boo for him!)
So, since I worked closest to home, "House Manager" duties defaulted back to me. *Sigh*
As I've shared before, our house is not big. That's why I was always intrigued by all the kitchen command centers I saw on Pinterest. Often times, it's just a small wall converted into useful space.
My garage door into the house opens right into my kitchen – it's the black door (shown below – you can see more in my kitchen board and batten wall post). That means every time we walk in the house, everything ends up piled on the kitchen table – keys, shopping bags, mail, half-empty fast food cups.
A few years back I hung a mail organizer/key holder behind the door in an effort to stop losing my keys, but let's face it – it was an eye sore:
I really wanted to eliminate the kitchen table clutter and improve this sad wall, so I designed a command center to hold keys, mail, sunglasses and magazines. (Side note: the baby gate is what we use to keep our dog from going upstairs when we're not home – like I admitted above, we're a child-free home).
We decided to frame it to match the door:
Then, we added wood inside the frame:
Next, we added some framing to the bottom third to match the board and batten wall on the other side of the door:
The ledge was an important part of the design since it can hold sunglasses and other small accessories:
The bottom section was designed to hold magazines and some file folders to organize coupons. We painted the top black (it's not chalkboard paint) and the bottom white:
Amazing what a coat of paint can do, huh?
Here it is with the framed calendar, mail and key organizer and some magazines/coupon file holders in the rack below:
The best compliment was the other day when my girlfriend came over to bring me lunch after I had sinus surgery. She was enamored with it so much she hired someone to build one at her house!
Here's her version – a simple framed out command center that's magnetic so she can get the clutter off the fridge – she has 3 kids!
Again – here's my before and after. We just love it!

Emergency Room Visits for ADHD Drugs More Than Doubled from 2005 to 2010
Emergency room visits involving attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs more than doubled from 2005 to 2010, according to a new government report. The number of visits involving ADHD medications that were used non-medically almost tripled during this period.
The report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found in 2005, there were 13,379 emergency room visits related to ADHD drugs. Such visits jumped to 31,244 in 2010, Newswise reports.
Non-medical use of ADHD medications rose from 5,212 in 2005, to 15,585 in 2010. Other pharmaceutical drugs were involved in nearly half (45 percent) of emergency room visits involving ADHD stimulant medications and about one fifth involved illicit drugs (21 percent) or alcohol (19 percent).
The report found emergency room visits for nonmedical use have not increased among children and adolescents, but they have increased among adults aged 18 or older.
"ADHD medications, when properly prescribed and used can be of enormous benefit to those suffering from ADHD, but like any other medication they can pose serious risks – particularly when they are misused," SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde said in a news release. "This study indicates that a better job has to be done alerting all segments of society – not just the young – that misuse of these medications is extremely dangerous."

You've heard Weird Al Yankovic's comedic versions of Top-40 songs over the years, but did you know that, as a teenaged accordion god in 1976, he wrote and recorded the best tribute to a car ever put to tape? You do now.
Before hitting mainstream paydirt with songs like "Eat It," "Like A Surgeon," "Smells Like Nirvana" and "White and Nerdy," Yankovic was a disciple of Dr. Demento, the radio host whose syndicated show was a weekly must-watch for a generation of imbeciles (like me). We'd sneak cassette tapes of Dr. D's show into middle school, and listen surreptitiously to "Frosty the Dope Man" and "Fish Heads" and Weird Al doing "Another One Rides The Bus." live on the air, laughing like the bowl-coiffed pinheads we were.
It was on Dr. Demento that the world first heard Yankovic throw down the squeeze-box comedy. It was in 1976. He was 16, and had recorded a song called "Belvedere Cruisin.'" It was about his parents' 1964 Plymouth station wagon, which as he tells us in the song, was green with a red interior. A fan of Dr. Demento, he sent a cassette tape to the show, and Dr. D played it on the air, thus launching the career of the most famous accordion player in popular music.
Why is it the best car tribute song ever? In that one dopey, lo-fi recording young Alfred Yankovic, straight out of Lynwood, California, created the most punk-rock thing imaginable, even if he didn't quite know it at the time. The song and his delivery was pure Jonathan Richman meets Johnny Rotten at a polka hall in Scranton. A sneering, 1970s teenage-rebellion smackdown of "Little Deuce Coupe," but without the feigned psycopathy that would soon turn punk into a parody of itself.
That's why. Also, Belvederes are awesome. Please enjoy.

Look what I found the first thing on my survey of Saturday morning July 23.
I thought that we would be through with the Least Tern project by July 19th, but these birds won't quit. They have found a near perfect nesting area and they are going for with all the gusto they can muster. Last week, there were a little over 80 birds still in the two enclosures.
The Wilson's Plovers appeared to be finished. Boy! was I wrong.

text: Bassett Hound in a red environment by a window with bamboo growing outside. The client brought Norman to me and we went to the park near my house. I snapped some photos and did some sketches as Norman sniffed around. He doesn't move very fast, so I got some good sketches. It took several attempts in the studio for me to capture Norman on canvas, and finally I got him when I just kind of gave up. It often happens that way- that the answer comes when you quit trying so hard. Red is a difficult color for me, but Norman's image really called for a bright red environment. The client said "that is Norman in a reflective mood." But Norman pretty much always looked like he was in a reflective mood.

Remember Easter growing up. It was little different than what we celebrate here, but it is still so much fun. We have a big egg hunt at the park across the street and kids look forward to that. The first time my son went for the egg hunt, he was so happy to pick just one egg, even though there were so many all around. These days he is getting faster and better at picking eggs...:) He just runs and puts so many in his basket...
This time I thought I will put on some Easter decorations. So among the few things that I made for Easter was this "Egg Bouquet". The instructions to make the bouquet can be found here.
We also hung garlands in our backyard and it looked really nice. It was just right for the Spring. The tutorial to make this garland can be found here.
The only thing I baked this Easter was these yummy double chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with Cream cheese frosting. Receipe can be found here.

Recently, several prominent university presidents proposed lowering the drinking age to 18 to decrease binge drinking on campus. I disagree.
What lowering the drinking age to 18 will do is push the rite-of-passage binge drinking celebration to a teenager�s senior year of high school.
It won�t suppress binge drinking; it will increase it in high school where students are even less mature than in college.
Lowering the drinking age to 18 will not even affect binge drinking in college since the standard would be set in high school, and numerous opportunities for alcoholic celebrations in college exist � fraternity/sorority parties, sports events, birthdays, pre and post finals, etc.
What lowering the drinking age to 18 does do is push the responsibility for initial binge drinking to the high schools.
I hope that superintendents and school boards consider the consequences of lowering the drinking age to 18 and speak out against it.

Originally from the Washington, DC area, Eliot showed signs of artistic talent at a very young age. "When I was five-years-old my parents gave me coloring books. But I threw them away and drew angular shapes on blank paper and colored them in instead."
At six-years-old he had already started to incorporate perspective into his drawings. He has been fascinated with abstraction ever since. At age 11, he was accepted to the highly regarded Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC where his formal art training began. He studied at Corcoran through high school and graduated college with a major in painting and art history.
Eliot depicts nature through the use of circular objects, rays of light, sunsets, landscapes, and seascapes. Through his paintings, he shows a broad range of color, light, geometric shapes, and the elements of nature. These elements come together in ways both pleasing and fascinating to the viewer while creating a new way to look at surrealism and abstraction.
In 1994, he moved to New York to pursue an art career and has been here ever since. Three months later he had his first NYC exhibit in SoHo, where his art career took off.
Now, Eliot, who has had diabetes for over 35 years, has his own practice to help those living with diabetes thrive through therapy. One of his recommendations to his young patients is – you guessed it – art therapy.
No Longer Empty and Manhattan Mini Storage are pleased to present Fresh Out of Storage, a unique project that brings to life and to light some of the many artworks that are kept in storage in New York City. No Longer Empty is a non-profit organization that activates public engagement with contemporary art through curated, community-responsive exhibitions and education programs that revive underutilized properties.
The project, which was open to all artists who have stored their work at a Manhattan Mini Storage facility, will be presented in three separate formats: an online presentation (www.freshoutofstorage.com) will showcase the work of all 35 artists who submitted their work for consideration; a video documentary, which will present interviews with 18 artists who were selected for Open Storage Visits; and the physical exhibition, featuring the works of ten of those artists, which will be held at the Manhattan Mini Storage facility at 645 West 44th Street (417), from Oct. 13th and was extended by popular demand t
