Marlon Brando's Son Says His Father Never Hooked Up With Richard Pryor
Someone might be lying in that whole Marlon Brando hookup with Richard Pryor story that broke last week, courtesy of Quincy Jones' explosive interview with Vulture, which saw the music titan reveal the lustful connection with the two figures.
Mike Brando, Marlon's oldest living son denied the headlines in a new article by TMZ, which was published on Monday (February 12). "The Marlon Brando family has heard the recent comments by Quincy Jones and we are disappointed that anyone would make such a wrongful comment about either Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor," he said in a statement. Meanwhile, Pryor's daughter, Rain, also denied the claims in a since-deleted social media post, which read "daddy did NOT have relations with Brando."
Still, it doesn't align with Pryor's widow, Jennifer, who confirmed the wild revelation. TMZ also caught up with Jennifer, who confirmed the wild news, saying, "It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning." Jennifer also revealed that Richard would have had no shame in Quincy's comments as the comedic staple was actually quite open about his bisexuality with friends. In fact, he even documented it in diaries, which the widow plans on publishing later this year.
In his Vulture interview, Quincy held nothing back by talking about Brando's wild sex life."[Marlon] Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his ass off," he revealed. "He was the most charming motherfucker you ever met. He'd f**k anything. Anything! He'd f**k a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye."

With statewide economic growth, prosperity and quality of life all tied to transportation, Minnesota needs a transportation system that is efficient, accessible, cost-effective and reliable. The state, its cities and its counties face challenges on those fronts. Already playing catch-up after many years of insufficient investment, Minnesota has yet to adequately address many emerging transportation concerns posed by current and projected transportation needs. Both fiscal constraints and environmental concerns are forcing careful and creative thinking about smart approaches to transportation in Minnesota. We can't just do more of the same. Read More
Four major transportation goals for the state:
Funding is required for quality public-sector infrastructure and systems. Even highly cost-effective approaches to transportation generally come with costs – for technology, for the planning and implementation of land use changes, or for construction of redesigned thoroughfares, for example. Money also is needed for maintenance and upkeep of Minnesota's existing and extensive transportation infrastructure. New construction – including high-impact, low-cost projects – certainly carries a price tag. Read More

Severn Marks #29
Alice's 'Severn Marks' series of small hand-woven pieces with natural staining formed part of her 2016-17 exhibition Findings.
Metal objects gathered from the Severn Estuary, South West UK, were used to make graphic marks on hand-woven linen 'blanks'.
"Mixed in with the silky estuarine mud is debris and rubbish carried and abandoned by water: downstream by river, upstream by in-coming tide. Mattress springs, hinges, reinforcing this-that-and-the-other, fixings, bolts, wires, an old saw. The surface of these metal objects is a crumbling mixture of iron oxide and mud. They are fragile, but their chemistry can make a mark onto cloth. Surrounded by fibre, warm and wet, embedded for a while, aided by tannins, they leave an image ass if they have been lifted from firm mud where they have rested."
(extract from 'Findings', 2016)
Severn Marks #29 measures 4.5 cm x 14.5 cm.
Each piece is mounted on foam board for stability and comes with a pair of entomology pins for mounting (as they were presented in Findings exhibition).
Please contact Alice to enquire about having this piece framed.

well im on another forum called gopitbull.com. its the first site i ever joined and i absolutely LOVE it there.
a lot of good people there that really care and want to help out the breed. its a pretty good size community and the mods do a really good job on cleaning out people that dont deserve to be there. (BYB's, trouble makers, jerks, )
well long story short i ordered 2 collars from stillwater kennels (idk if you guys know of them but i think some may) they were both the wrong collars so he just said keep them both and he'd send me another one for free.
so since he did a good deed for me, i thought it would be good to pass on the deed by giving one of the collars away.
heres the link to the thread i made, one of the mods is making a poll tomorrow for a photo contest and whoever wins the contest i will ship them the collar, free.
http://www.gopitbull.com/general-discus ... nnels.html
the contest will have a theme and if your interested in what it is you'll have to wait til tomorrow.
it'll be fun

Hastings almost ushers three-day win
Sussex 205 and 173 for 9 (Tredwell 41*, Hastings 4-47, Stokes 3-54) need a further 319 to beat Durham 337 and 359 for 6 dec (Jennings 103, Borthwick 95)
Durham claimed the extra half hour in a bid to force a three-day win at home to Sussex, but after taking the ninth wicket in the first of the eight overs they were denied by James Tredwell and Lewis Hatchett.
More impressive bowling by Ben Stokes helped Durham to close in on their second successive championship win before John Hastings hastened Sussex's capitulation by grabbing four wickets.
Bad light brought an early tea, at which point Durham declared to set Sussex a target of 491. But what became a 46-over evening session was played in bright conditions and Sussex moved easily enough to 30 before Stokes knocked over the top three to complete his first 10-wicket match haul.
After Durham resumed on 105 for 1, Keaton Jennings made 103 and Scott Borthwick 95 as they extended their stand to 200. They added 116 before a brief shower arrived eight minutes before lunch with Borthwick the dominant partner after spending an hour over his first four runs the previous evening.
Having resumed on 46, Jennings coped comfortably with Jon Lewis's inswing and drove a wide half volley through extra cover to reach 50 off 117 balls. But when the bowlers started to concentrate on moving the ball away from him he failed to connect with several drives and was lucky not to get an edge.
Borthwick drove Lewis Hatchett wide of mid-on to complete his 50 off 121 balls and later hit Steffan Piolet for three fours in an over. He finally edged a good ball from the deserving Magoffin to second slip.
Jennings also edged to Tredwell when he attempted to cut Hatchett four balls after completing his hundred off 215 balls by clipping the same bowler behind square for his 13th four.
After catching the top three, Tredwell took the next two wickets. Stokes smashed 31 off 25 balls before he tried to pull a ball which kept low and bottom-edged into his stumps. Then Paul Collingwood edged to slip before Michael Richardson and Gordon Muchall put on 58 in 12 overs prior to the declaration.
Chris Nash and Luke Wells began Sussex's second innings comfortably, but in Stokes' second over Wells edged low to Phil Mustard, who deflected the ball to Borthwick at second slip. For the unfortunate Wells it was identical to his first innings dismissal.
Nash edged a brutal lifter to Mustard, who clung on at head height, then in his next over Stokes had Rory Hamilton-Brown lbw and after five overs he had figures of three for 10. He kept going for a further seven overs and returned for two more at the end but there was no more reward.
Hastings had Ben Brown caught by Borthwick before Piolet fell lbw, Luke Wright pulled a catch straight to deep square leg and Magoffin edged an airy drive to Mustard. In the first of the additional eight overs Jon Lewis edged Chris Rushworth behind, but Tredwell reached 41 at the close with Hatchett on four.

Domino's staff notice a regular didn't order pizza, then police hear screaming coming from man's house

Domino's Pizza employees save the life of one of their regulars
July 18, 2018
Employees at a Domino's pizza near Salem, Ore., are credited with saving the life of one of their customers. The customer, Kirk Alexander, had consistently ordered a meal from the Domino's between 11 p.m. and midnight nearly every night, ABC News reported. When Alexander abruptly stopped ordering, the manager and assistant manager at Domino's, Sarah Fuller and Jenny Seiber thought something might be wrong.
The managers sent one of their long-time drivers, Tracey Hamblen, to check on Alexander, according to KATU 2. Hamblen discovered that Alexander's television and lights were on, but when he tried to get someone to come to the door, no one answered. Based on Hamblen's intel, Fuller and Seiber decided to call the police.
"Well, I need some help on what to do. It could be an emergency ... OK, this is Domino's Pizza and we have a customer that usually orders like every night from us. And he hasn't ordered in 11 days," Hamblen said during the call to emergency services according to ABC News.
Police went to check on Alexander, who according to the Huffington Post has severe health issues and rarely leaves the house. When they arrived on the scene, the police heard Alexander yelling for help and in need of medical attention. Alexander is now in the hospital recovering.
Seiber said to KATU 2 that employees have been visiting Alexander in the hospital.
"We want to give him flowers, cards," she said. "Hopefully help him recover faster knowing that people do care about him."
Good Morning America rewarded the managers for their thoughtfulness and quick-thinking. Since they are real-life superheroes, they received a trip to Las Vegas and tickets to see "Captain America: Civil War."

Resume: Managers' mindset about the sustainability construct and its triggers is the topic dealt with in the paper. The interviewed managers are all working in companies expressing a commitment on sustainability in their external communication. However, our findings reveal that their commitment is pursued from different business models, visions and ideas about the sustainability construct. We found that sustainability is not triggered, approached and practiced in accordance with one overall mindset. Four interrelated mindsets emerged - due to that sustainability is a learning process and thus formed and developed over time. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8321

Islamist preacher Abu Hamza to appear in US court
Islamist cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri will appear before a federal judge in New York today after Britain extradited the one-eyed radical preacher to the United States to face trial and a potential life sentence on terrorism charges.world Updated: Oct 06, 2012 19:38 IST
Islamist cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri will appear before a federal judge in New York on Saturday after Britain extradited the one-eyed radical preacher to the United States to face trial and a potential life sentence on terrorism charges.
The Egyptian-born Abu Hamza, 54, is accused by Washington of supporting al Qaeda, aiding a kidnapping in Yemen and plotting to open a training camp for militants in the United States.
He was flown late on Friday to the United States along with four other men also wanted on US terrorism charges.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said on Saturday that Hamza and two of the others would make an initial appearance in Manhattan federal court later in the day.
A fiery anti-Western speaker, Abu Hamza is said to have inspired some of the world's most high-profile militants including Zacarias Moussaoui, one of the accused Sept 11, 2001 conspirators.
The cleric was once a preacher at the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, but was later jailed in Britain for inciting murder and racial hatred.
Hamza was indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan in April 2004. He is accused of involvement in a 1998 hostage-taking in Yemen that resulted in the deaths of four hostages - three Britons and one Australian.
He was also accused of providing material support to al Qaeda by trying to set up a training camp for fighters in Oregon in the United States and of trying to organize support for the Taliban in Afghanistan.
If convicted, Hamza could face up to life in prison.
US officials said they were pleased that Hamza and the other men would finally answer to the long-standing
The extradition "is a watershed moment in our nation's efforts to eradicate terrorism, and it makes good on a promise to the American people to use every available diplomatic, legal, and administrative tool to pursue and prosecute charged terrorists no matter how long it takes," Manhattan US attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.
Saudi native Khalid al-Fawwaz, 50, and Egyptian Adel Abdul Bary, 52, will also appear in Manhattan federal court later on Saturday.
They will be asked to enter a plea on charges that they and others were involved in the 1998 al Qaeda bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.
British citizens Babar Ahmad, 38 and Syed Talha Ahsan, 33, are charged with supporting al Qaeda and other militant groups by operating various websites promoting Islamic holy war.
Ahmad and Ahsan pleaded not guilty before a federal judge in New Haven, Connecticut on Saturday morning, court records showed. They will remain jailed pending trial. Attorneys for the men could not immediately be reached.
It was not immediately clear if Hamza and the two other suspects had retained or been assigned defense attorneys.
Eight year battle
Born Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, Hamza moved to Britain as an engineering student in the 1970s, married a British woman and once worked as a doorman at discos in London.
Abu Hamza, who wears a hook in place of his missing right hand, says he lost both hands and an eye while living in Afghanistan in the 1980s while carrying out humanitarian work. Authorities say he was fighting for the Mujahideen against the Soviet Union.
After being held on the US extradition warrant, he was jailed for seven years by a British court in 2006 for inciting Muslims to kill Jews and non-believers, based on extracts of speeches he had given years earlier.
He lost his eight-year battle to avoid deportation on Friday after two London High Court judges refused a last bid to delay his departure. The European Court of Human Rights refused to stop London from extraditing Hamza and the four others.
No trial soon
While all five defendants will make brief court appearances on Saturday before judges in Manhattan and Connecticut, there is little likelihood that a full trial will begin soon.
Some US officials are concerned that their trials could ignite politically motivated debate about security threats and coddling of militants.
Yet many experts caution that US civilian courts can and have handled many high profile cases that involved Islamist militants.
Following a closely watched trial in Manhattan federal court, Tanzanian national Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was sentenced to life in prison in January, 2011 for his role in the 1998 bombings. Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw that trial, will also handle the cases of al-Fawwaz and Abdul Bary.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Thursday, July 01, 2010
Robert Weaver: "I saw illustration as a real calling"
In an interview published years later, Weaver said, "I liked working for Cosmo, before Helen Gurley Brown took it over and ruined it. I did... a lot of detective stories, which I enjoyed doing, but even that kind of fictional illustration grew out of the real. I used real data."
"First, I had some kind of image in my mind. I sort of knew what I wanted to get. But you see, I based my Cosmo work on a lot of sketches of real situations. I was telling a fictional story, but using real life people in the interest of credibility."
"I always had two pages, sometimes three. That was the nice thing about working for them. The magazine was filled with illustrations. Sequences allowed me to share more information with the viewer, rather than reducing a complex notion to a simplistic symbol."
"In the early days... I saw illustration as a real calling. I felt that everything I needed to say could be said in illustrations. In other words, I would find within a manuscript some way of putting myself into an illustration - there was plenty of room to roam around. Now illustration has become very constricting."
"Illustration assignments provided an outlet. I saw illustration as an end in itself. I began to see it as a real calling and not just a way to make money. I was certainly lucky. There were some very good art directors around who would let me do it my way."
"But... I have grown up, and illustration is a young man's art form. I think one eventually gets tired of that kind of illustration where you have to make up solutions that are essentially simplistic. If you really do have an interest in art or in ideas, you need some way of letting that come out, and you can't do it in illustration alone, unless you're given a lot of paper and a lot of time and freedom."
* My Robert Weaver Flickr set.
* Many thanks to Daniel Zalkus, who passed along the interview from which I quoted today's passages. Unfortunately the date and publication were unavailable to Daniel - who had only photocopies, not the original magazine in which the interview appeared. We can only determine that this interview took place after 1976 since Weaver mentions it in one of his comments.
9 comments:
He's right about the pre-Helen Gurley Brown Cosmo. In the 1950's every issue was a feast for the eyes, especially the illustrations for the fiction. After she took over in '65, it slowly started disappearing.ReplyDelete
Looking at Weaver's work in today's post, It finally occurred to me what was lacking in his illustrations, and it is ironic since he repeats the word "real" over and over in his interviews. His people are not real to me. I mean they look like human beings, but they have no real identity. I can't feel warmth, compassion, sympathy, admiration or even hate towards them. His illustrations are all about experimental compositions, texture and avant-garde design, but little real humanity. That was something that Whitmore, Bowler, Fuchs, Parker and other popular mid century illustrators did not ignore, and I could relate to their people.. real people, average people, glamorous people or interesting characters. To be frank, the couple kissing (the only clinch scene I have ever seen by Weaver), looks like a preliminary rough sketch submitted by any number of other illustrators of the day.. and I am a big admirer of a sensitive, loose, spontaneous drawing styles. But, if it was important for Weaver to make his illustrations about the "real world" and not fantasy or idealism, I need to relate to his figures, and so does the reader.. real figures that connect with their readers. I think that is where he missed the boat, trying too hard to throw out the traditional approach, and pioneer a revolution without following some of his own advice. Leif, did he mention in those interviews, what specific illustrators he admired?ReplyDelete
Tom Watson
I like the repeated motif of the bars. I think the people look real enough. They do not look photographic, which is the only thing I don't like about a lot of the illustrators you mention. Also, I think Degas was a big influence on Weaver. If you look at some of his paintings of women ironing and his figures' candor, you might see it.
Here are some links:
http://www.meltonpriorinstitut.org/pages/kuk_diashow.php?pictorial=50 (image number 7)
I think it really comes down to what people like. I find a lot of the pretty illustrations cold. Like Peak, his work feels very staged, very unfeeling and calculated. It just feels cold to me. Mark English on the other hand has a tremendous amount of humanity in his work, even at its most photographic.
It is really the posed nature of a lot of the other illustrators work that turns me off. I agree with you on the lack of reality in those people as compared to say, the boy in the car, but I think he was going for something else.
In my opinion Weaver and many of that era ignored craft and had a real disdain for the industry, but were incapable of leaving it or transcending it. I remember talking to an illustrator from that time who hated the industry, wanted to be a fine artist but couldn't make enough money. I think that kind of attitude shows in the work no matter what field your in.ReplyDelete
The mistake of that time was in catering to the youth movement that sought to distance itself from the earlier generations of their parents and grandparents. If I can use a music analogy, like Madonna or Brittney Spears you shock or titillate when you lack the ability to perform on a higher level. It doesn't matter they sell more records to twenty year olds than Brahms, they won't be remembered in a hundred years and neither will Weaver. When the fad for innovation faded, illustrators like Weaver quickly become a footnote in history and end up representing the time, a thing they fought against.The ones that survive do so because of their respect for craft which is the basis for all great art in any genre.
Thanks for your informative and welcome response, and attaching those samples. I fundamentally understand your point of view, and relate to most of it. When you refer to photographic realism in illustration, we may have an interpretation difference. Although most of the early 50s' illustrators were more literal and rendered in an academic realistic manner, I never considered them photographic. They injected their taste, personality and stylistic flair, which could not effectively be done with a photo. Robert Weaver, Phil Hays, Tom Allen, Bob Gill and others had an unpolished even primitive look to their work, which became part of the avant-garde movement in the late 50s' and 60s'. Most of the leading illustrators of the early and mid 50s' became more stylized and graphic in their later illustrations, including Whitmore and Bowler. I think much of Bernie Fuchs' tremendous success was due to his strong academic background in drawing and painting, which he blended beautifully with a flat painterly expressionistic style, and forceful dynamic compositions. Weaver had the dynamic compositions and expressionistic paint application, but didn't show a lot of strong academic skills for my taste. Incidentally, unusual compositions were used by Henri Cartier Bresson, and other creative black and white photographers, well before Weaver's time. Degas' paintings were also a popular influence on many other 50's illustrators and photographers, usually for his unusual compositions and glowing colors in his later pastels.
The Fortune examples you attached are more effective in my opinion, because they are done in a sketch-book manner, as though he were touring the plant and doing fast color drawings of the various activities. The portrait on the Fortune cover is a good example of when Weaver blended more accurate drawing with his primitive expressionistic painting style. The quality of drawing in his figures seem to vary. As you wrote, it's about personal preference, but I will add that in reading quotes from Weaver's interviews, it's hard to separate the man from his illustrations.

Very well put.. your astute analysis makes a lot of sense to me.
Tom Watson
I wonder what Weaver meant by adding "real life" to these illustrations for Cosmopolitan. Does it mean he used models? Or went out and sketched people on the street?ReplyDelete
I don't think he used models like many illustrators before or after him. I got the sense that whenever possible he went out and drew directly on the street (until he started losing his eyesight). But I can't imagine that working for every assignment, especially the ones in this post.
Anyone know?
Weaver always claimed to draw on the streets; he never hired actual models as far as I know. He was not above amending scenes, though, if he had too to tell the story better.ReplyDelete
PS - the unattributed interview you mention was by Steven Heller, in his book on innovative American illustrators, from about 1984 - going by memory here.ReplyDelete

Sporting over 90 vehicles across multiple classes in the real Baja 1000 - including trophy trucks, class I, motorcycles, ATVs and more - the game challenges players to not only be first across the finish line, but also keep their machine intact! Hyper-realistic dirt and damage modeling in the game means players need to be crazy enough to take chances, but not so reckless that their vehicle is destroyed before the race is over.

Village of Rockville Centre police officer Anthony Federico left the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola on March 8 silently as a crush of press surrounded him. His attorney, William Petrillo, ushered him outside. "No questions, please," Petrillo insisted.
Federico stared blankly as he walked to his car and drove away, leaving Petrillo to respond to reporters' questions. Minutes earlier, the officer, 36, had pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting a village resident and falsifying police records to cover it up.
Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas alleges that Federico struck a man with a Taser during an investigation last May — causing a severe laceration — and then lied about it afterward. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
"Accusations of police misconduct are treated very seriously by this office," Singas said. "It's our obligation as prosecutors to follow the evidence."
According to the district attorney, on May 8, at around 2:45 a.m. two groups of young adults were involved in a fight outside a bar on South Park Avenue, near Merrick Road, in Rockville Centre. One 25-year-old man, identified in police records as village resident Kevin Kavanagh, wound up on the ground. It's unclear how. His brother, Brendan, 20, was helping him up when Federico approached to hear their account of the fight.
Singas did not say how it started, but there was a confrontation between the brothers and Federico. The officer reportedly had no backup, and according to Petrillo, he was surrounded by a crowd of people.
According to Singas, Federico discharged his Taser several times during the altercation. At one point, he allegedly hit Kevin on the head with it, causing a six-centimeter, front-scalp laceration, requiring sutures and staples to close.
According to police reports, Kevin was charged with attempted assault on Federico and resisting arrest. Brendan was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing law enforcement and possession of fake identification. According to Petrillo, their cases have not been resolved.
Federico was charged with second-degree assault, third-degree assault, two counts of second-degree filing a false instrument and two counts of second-degree filing a false business instrument.
Hundreds of police officers from across Long Island and beyond rallied in front of the Nassau County Courthouse last Wednesday in support of Frederico when he was arraigned.
Petrillo argued that physical contact with the two brothers and harsh language shouted by bystanders put Federico in fear for his life. The attorney also said the indictment against his client was causing "an anti-police sentiment."
"This isn't just an indictment against a police officer," Petrillo said at a news conference outside the court. "This is an indictment against police. This is a sad day for the citizens of this county and the citizens of Rockville Centre."
According to the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association, Federico acted prudently. "Surrounded by a crowd and while being struck by two individuals, Officer Federico found himself in an extremely dangerous situation and had to use reasonable force to properly defend himself and to effect a lawful arrest," a Nassau PBA release read.
Among the officials attending the rally were Rockville Centre Village PBA President Jim Carty and Nassau PBA President James McDermott. Protesters brandished signs urging police unity and referencing "the Ferguson effect," alluding to what many police considered undue scrutiny after the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
Talk of the case emerged on social media on the week of March 6. In a letter posted on the Rockville Centre Police Benevolent Association's Facebook page, Carty said the officer was responding to a bar fight when he was "forced to defend" himself against two individuals who had attacked him. In the same post, Carty also said there was video evidence of the incident, which he said appeared to exonerate the officer.
"This is the first step in the ciminal justice system," said Rockville Centre Police Commissioner Charles Gennario while responding to an inquiry on the matter. "I'm confident that once all the facts are out he'll be found not guilty in court."
Federico joined the Rockville Centre Police Department in 2013, after retiring from the New York City Police Department, where he had served since 2005.
Deputy Bureau Chief Robert Cavallo of the Public Corruption Bureau is prosecuting this case.

Sandy Alderson is back from teaching in California and at Citi Field working on hiring the next manager of the Mets. There should be some interviews scheduled by the end of the day, with some to happen this week.
While Alderson said he's not adverse to hiring a "fiery," manager – relief to Wally Backman supporters – his preference is of an analytical and knowledgeable type. Middle management, if you will. Speculation has Bob Melvin and Clint Hurdle emerging as early favorites.
Yes, the manager could be important to sell tickets – in that regard Backman might have it over Melvin – but winning is the most important criteria and if Alderson believes a low-key, almost vanilla personality is better equipped to implement his vision he'll get the job. If the Mets play a fundamentally sound, aggressive brand of baseball and prove to always be in the game, that will sell the tickets and steady the ship until they start spending after the 2011 season.
In addition to Melvin, Hurdle and Backman, also on Alderson's list is third-base coach Chip Hale, Triple-A Buffalo manager Ken Oberkfell, Minor League field coordinator Terry Collins, Double-A Binghamton manager Tim Teufel, and former Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu.
Not an established genius on the list, then again, neither was Bruce Bochy, whom Alderson had in San Diego.
The new Mets manager must have these traits:
SMARTS/ANALYSIS: It's a complicated game and a manager must always be thinking two, three innings ahead. Bochy was flawless this October in how he juggled his lineup and bullpen. It's an oversimplification to blame injuries for an unstable batting order and bullpen, but Jerry Manuel showed he didn't think things through with his insistence in batting Jose Reyes third and for overworking his bullpen. Those were the most glaring as it showed he didn't have an understanding of the talent of his players.
Sometimes a manager must act on instincts and guts, but hoping and flying by the seat of 0ne's pants isn't the best strategy. Alderson is big on probabilities and that comes in being prepared which puts the odds in your favor.
HAVE A PLAN: The bullpen and batting order were all over the place with Manuel. Perhaps the most difficult thing for a manager to do is assess bullpen roles and keep them in place. The bullpen was solvent and stable in 2006 under Willie Randolph but hasn't been since even though the Mets spent lavishly on closers Billy Wagner and Francisco Rodriguez.
ABILITY TO CONVINCE THE PLAYERS OF THE BIG PICTURE: The Giants proved it is possible to win without marquee players in the starting lineup. (As long as you have four quality starters, a strong bullpen and dominant closer, then the batting order doesn't have to mash). Neither Manuel nor Omar Minaya could convince Oliver Perez to do what was right, and they didn't have the backbone to broach moving Carlos Beltran to right field.
Convincing Beltran to move to another position in his walk year will require a delicate, yet firm touch, as it is likely we won't see him after 2011. The new manager will have to convince Beltran to do what is best for a team he won't be a part of after this season. Tough task.
The Giants won with serviceable, productive role players who performed in a relatively stable lineup. Their lineup might not be as talented as the Mets' order, but they all knew their roles and had a disciplined approach at the plate. One thing watching the Giants during the year and in the playoffs is they gave away far less at-bats than the Mets.
The new manager and his hitting coach must overhaul the Mets' far too often careless and sloppy approach at the plate, and this begins with convincing the stars Reyes to improve his on-base percentage and David Wright and Jason Bay to cut down on their strikeouts.
It was almost a novelty when the Mets worked counts, manufactured runs and hit with runners in scoring position. It should be common place.
One of the most memorable at-bats during the World Series was Aubrey Huff sacrificing late in the game last night to set up Edgar Renteria. Arguably their best power hitter was bunting. Clearly, the Giants bought into what Bochy was selling. We rarely saw that here.
THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE: It's hard to believe major league players with the money they make need motivation, but it's true. This is personified by Reyes, whom Manuel lost by juggling in the order and pushing his return from injuries. Reyes is still the Mets' offensive key and requires delicate handling at times because he does lose focus.
HAVE PATIENCE WITH THE YOUNG PLAYERS: This team has a young core with Ike Davis, Josh Thole and Ruben Tejada. Angel Pagan, Reyes and Wright are also in the prime of their careers. Part of this is surrounding himself with the proper staff. Hale and Dan Warthen, reportedly, could stay in some capacity and this should ease the transition.
It was Manuel who insisted on Jenrry Mejia opening the season in the bullpen when it was clear he was not suited for that role. A manager must put his players in position where they have a chance to succeed. Not only was Manuel wrong here, so was Minaya for letting him.
KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE MEDIA: There were many instances Manuel criticized and threw a player under the bus in the press, which showed he didn't trust them. Conversely, those players returned that lack of trust. Two of the more enduring images of the season was Mike Pelfrey turning his back on Manuel when he took him out and the John Maine incident. Both illustrated the players' lack of respect and trust in their manager and it filtered down.
Manuel also failed several times when it came to informing players of change. When it came to informing Wright of an off day or Jeff Francoeur of his role with the return of Beltran, Manuel handled it sloppily. If you're a manager and you're selling a new system, you must have diplomacy, tact and consideration, knowing you're going to rely on those players in the future. The new guy needs this trait.
Manuel did a lot of double-speaking when it came to the press and wasn't believable, and with that neither the Mets were as a contender.

The International Society for Science and Religion recently adopted a statement on the concept of "intelligent design," describing it as "neither sound science nor good theology." The statement continues, "Although the boundaries of science are open to change, allowing supernatural explanations to count as science undercuts the very purpose of science, which is to explain the workings of nature without recourse to religious language.
The Florida state board of education voted 4-3 at its February 19, 2008, meeting to adopt a new set of state science standards in which evolution is presented as a "fundamental concept underlying all of biology." The adopted standards differ from those developed by the writing committee in adding the phrase "the scientific theory of" before mentions of plate tectonics, cell theory, atomic theory, electromagnetism, and evolution. According to the standards, "a scientific theory represents the most powerful explanation scientists have to offer."
In a letter (PDF) to the Texas Commissioner of Education and the members of the Texas state board of education dated February 13, 2008, the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study expressed its opposition to actions in the state of Texas that "compromise the integrity of science and the quality of science education," citing in particular the forced resignation of Chris Comer from the Texas Education Agency and the Institute for
Anticipating the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of the Origin of Species, the Outreach and Education Committee of the British Society for the History of Science is conducting a prize competition for original designs illustrating the significance of these anniversaries. Entries may take the form of posters, illustrated essays, or screensavers.
As the Florida state board of education prepared to consider a final draft of a new set of state science standards, Floridians offered their opinions at a last-minute meeting held in Orlando on February 11, 2008. Over eighty speakers addressed the state commissioner of education, Eric Smith, and, via webcast, the board. A video of the entire meeting is available on the department's website.

MONROE, Conn. -- A new illustrated paperback capturing the rich history of Monroe will be launched at a luncheon at the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library on Jan. 7.
The luncheon will introduce "Monroe Thought Time II," which chronicles such little-known chapters in the town's history as:
- A Ku Klux Klan rally in 1924 that drew 1,100 America-Firsters to a site where a Goodwill Store stands today
- A neighborhood popularly called Punkups that disappeared when Lake Zoar was created in 1919
- The unsolved mystery of Captain Nathan Seeley, who was found dead in his barn in 1890 with a noose around his neck
Tickets for the launch at the library are $35 and cover a copy of the book and lunch. Tickets are available at the library and at the office of the town clerk at Town hall. They are also available through Marven Moss at email@example.com and (203) 268-2961.
Proceeds go to the Monroe Historical Society to preserve Monroe's heritage.
The luncheon will be held from noon to 2 p.m., and also features the premiere of a documentary, "The Lost Cave of Monroe," produced by Mike Sandone, described in the book as "Monroe's Indiana Jones."
"Monroe Through Time II" is the second collaboration by Kevin Daly, John Babina and Marven Moss, availing themselves of the resources of the Monroe Historical Society and the World Wide Web. Daly provided the essential research, Babina the contemporary photography, and Moss the authorship.
Daly is a senior engineering manager in computer aided design and the incoming historian of the Monroe Historical Society. Babina is the founder of Monroe-based radio station WMNR and a retired engineer who worked on helicopter avionics, missile controls and surveillance satellites. Moss is a former New York Timesman and past president of the Monroe Historical Society.
Their book is the fourth pictorial account of Monroe's transformation from a Colonial farming village into a charming New England community offering a bucolic lifestyle with proximity to the upbeat rhythms of today's bigger cities and their spheres of commerce and global culture.
The publication follows "Monroe Through Time," "Images of America: Monroe," and "A Glimpse of Old Monroe." It presents a number of previously-unpublished photographs, the legacy of the marvelous vitality of Frederick P. Sherman, and traces the hardscrabble life of the homesteaders, the tradesmen in their shops, the entrepreneurs of bygone days, the talented figures in arts and sports, and even the fumes of scandal.
Also incorporated is the first comprehensive listing of virtually all of Monroe's civic leadership since incorporation in 1823 and the presidents of the Monroe Historical Society since it was established in 1959.
Like its predecessor, the cover reproduces a segment of a David Merrill acrylic, this one depicting the Town Green and the old Town Hall erected in 1897 and the old library, both demolished in 1972. The artwork was made available courtesy of Merrill who used to play touch football on the Town Green in the 1950s and impishly inserted a football into the foreground of his rendering. The original hangs in the Town Hall.
In addition to the Jan 7 luncheon, the book has been designated for preferred placement in Barnes & Noble stores.

In contrast to quenching, photobleaching (also termed fading) occurs when a fluorophore permanently loses the ability to fluoresce due to photon-induced chemical damage and covalent modification. Upon transition from an excited singlet state to the excited triplet state, fluorophores may interact with another molecule to produce irreversible covalent modifications. The triplet state is relatively long-lived with respect to the singlet state, thus allowing excited molecules a much longer timeframe to undergo chemical reactions with components in the environment. The average number of excitation and emission cycles that occur for a particular fluorophore before photobleaching is dependent upon the molecular structure and the local environment. Some fluorophores bleach quickly after emitting only a few photons, while others that are more robust can undergo thousands or even millions of cycles before bleaching.
The culture of transformed African green monkey kidney (COS-7) cells displayed in the digital image presented above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-tubulin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy3, targeting intracellular microtubules. The culture was also stained for DNA with DAPI, and for F-actin with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Telling the Library Story
So what is the library story?
I was reading a post about the Cruddas Park Library on Library Voices and fell in love with the simplicity of this story. One photographer, a sketch pad and testimonies that make Twitter feel too wordy. How could you not love it?
Libraries are on a constant quest to tell their story. An earlier post by Kathy shared the Infographic by ALA that tells why libraries are important. When I was in NJ they ran the Snapshot Day program that had people gather comments and pictures to share with elected officials and stakeholders. Other libraries have created a Day in the Life series.
All are great ideas, but they are only part of the equation.
Effective storytelling needs to be authentic, resonate with the listener and reach the right people. The best stories need to be told over and over again until it is embedded into the memory as truth.
Still that is only part of the equation.
For libraries to be truly effective with their stories, they need to frame the value of their role for the community. And that also needs to be authentic, resonate with the listener and reach the right people.
But that is tougher story to sell.
We live in a world where almost anyone can tell you Jennifer Aniston is engaged and that about 50% of marriages end in divorce. But wouldn't it make sense that people would be more interested in what makes the other 50% of marriages work? Sure it would but those headlines don't sell newspapers in grocery store checkout lines. The same problem exists for libraries. We are charged with telling stories about our value but what to do when "value" and "interest" aren't always the same thing?
An effective way to accomplish that is to tell a story that captures people's imaginations or pulls at their heartstrings. Sports writers do a great job with this. They highlight an individual and tell the story of triumph over adversities and people cheer for the player, the team, the sport.
So what is the library story?
It's the story of the college freshman who got through the first year because the library set up an outreach post in the dorm and helped with research, writing, proofing and provided the confidence until the student felt it.
It's the story of the woman who's adult son was diagnosed with a rare disease and through sheer determination and the help of her library teaching her how to use a computer was able to help him find the right treatment.
It's the story of the homeless woman who took the first steps to turning her life around because of a story she read while staying warm in a library.
It's the story of the woman who worked her way through law school and gave up the high powered salary and lifestyle to become a librarian because she wanted to help the teens in her community succeed.
It's the story of the parolee who made the transition to a straight life because he hung out in the library instead going back to the streets.
It's the story of estrangement to reunion; failure to success; despair to hope.
The library story is the human story.
The formula for writing such a story is simple. We outlined in our book, Bite-Sized Marketing and I've given countless workshops. I'll post the outline tomorrow.
