Born Joshua Feldman in Pittsburgh on June 17, 1922, Fielding was a child prognostication wHO claimed among his earlier influences Bernard Herrmann's pioneering gobs for the tuner dramas of Orson Welles. A pupil of theatrical conductor Max Atkins, he was regularly writing arrangements for theatrical pit bands patch smooth in high schoolhouse, and at 18 was hired by guitar capital Alvino Rey. When Rey relocated his musical enterprise from New York City to Los Angeles, he brought Fielding with him and by the mid-'40s he was an coveted free-lance adapter, commitment to writing charts for swing icons including Tommy Dorsey, Kay Kyser, and Charlie Barnet.

Art classes improve diagnostic skills of medical students
It seems that beholding is a skill that the world of artistic production can lend to the world of medicine.
Doctors-in-training world Health Organization took art classes spell in medical school appear to take better skills of observation than their colleagues wHO have never studied art, according to a research from Harvard Medical School.
'You can buoy look at a face and find certain aspects of it, like lines on a face, the colour of it, the colour of the eyelids, the colour of the lips.'�Dr. Shah Khoshbin
Dr. Joel Katz and Dr. Shah Khoshbin started a program of elective artistry classes for medical students at the Boston-based schooltime in 2005.
They released research last week that shows studying art can help students take up to 38 per cent more accurate observations.
"The assumption in the past tense was that either you know how to look or you don't," Dr. Khoshbin told CBC's Q cultural affairs show on Monday. "This is not true. You can train people to look, educators as good as artists know that."
Dr. Khoshbin, world Health Organization had a background in art analysis himself ahead taking a medical degree, said artistic production classes seem to help train students in what he calls "visual literacy."
"Quite often, when students drop a diagnosing, they say us they didn't appear," Dr. Khoshbin said.
"We trained students to become literate in talking to patients but we didn't have a path to make them be visually literate," until this course was developed, he said.
The course is taught by deuce art educators, who acquaint students to art and use the resources of the nearby Boston Museum of Fine Arts to test their analytical and visual skills.
Abstract art helps, tooThe course, taught early in medical school day, seems to make students better at diagnosing patients in their graduating year, according to Dr. Khoshbin's research.
"You bum look at a face and keep certain aspects of it, like lines on a face, the colour of it, the colour of the eyelids, the colour of the lips � these are all things once you are trained to see for it, you do better at it," Khoshbin said.
Even modern art can buoy help students improve their powers of observation.
"Not only how to look at body and face only to look at patterns. The work of Jackson Pollock has no face and no body, so what is important is pattern credit," he said.
Pattern recognition teaches students to observe more than about, for example, a rash, than just the colour of the skin.
The result is a chemical group of doctors who ar more positive in their own powers of observation and so more surefooted in their own skills of diagnosis.
"They have to be able to reckon at the human existence, they have to be able to pick up cues that are not necessarily communicated verbally. So much is not communicated verbally," Khoshbin said.
Results quieted early criticsHe says the program initially had its critics, but they have come around as students trained in nontextual matter proved to be more observant.
"The common factor here, which is the human, is so subjective, the science that we practice is so subjective that you give to train the medico to be good at both. The human brings the science and the art together," he said.
And the side effect is a radical of doctors who have a heightened appreciation of visual artistic production, some of them decent lifelong fans.
"A lot of them pick it up as an avocation," he said.

Before the band came on stage the gathered throng, who were spilling out of the small Gibson tent, repeatedly chanted the group�??s name.
Taking to stage a little later than scheduled at 8.10 (BST) the five-piece sauntered on to a sea of �??Saxon�?� cheers and rock claws
Silver haired front man, Biff Byford, whose mane reached down almost to his elbows stalked the stage mike in hand while the rest of the band pummelled through a back catalogue of hits.

He then joked after looking out at the huge crowd: �??I thought this was meant to be a small gig!�?�
Then Byford asked the crowd if they wanted to hear new songs or old songs to which the unanimous reply was new.
He laughed and responded: �??You bastards.�?�
Crowd interaction was on a high for the gig�??s entirety but when the band played �??Wheels Of Steel�??.
Byford got the whole tent to chant back the chorus �?? placing the mike in their direction so he could hear them better.
Just before the end of the set a clearly excited Byford, while looking out at the huge mass of people spilling out of the tiny tent, said: �??Is this the main stage or what? We played with Metallica in Germany last week and this is must better than that.�?�
After their last song the band left the stage to a mass of cheers.
