What Was Lichtenstein Doing on May 13, 1977?
Extracted from the comprehensive exhibition catalogue, explore our new—and incredibly detailed—online timeline of Lichtenstein's life and work. Some fun facts I learned from a quick perusal of Lichtenstein's early life:
- In the Summer of 1937, he was hard at work on "romantic watercolors" of the forest and lake of his Maine summer camp.
- In 1940 he took Reginald Marsh's painting class at the Art Students League.
- While stationed in Europe during World War II, he saw exhibitions about Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Paul Cézanne. He also had a rather dashing photo taken in front of the Eiffel Tower.
- Lichtenstein taught at Ohio State University after finishing his BFA and MFA there. But in 1950, he was denied tenure due to lack of "substantial growth."
- In 1951 he started bringing his paintings to gallerists in New York...strapped on top of his car.
Oh, and in case you're still wondering, on May 13, 1977 he was awarded doctorate of fine arts from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia.

Omit Vomit play hyper-active '70s-style punk with really prominent synths... it reminds me a bit of Ausmuteants or Lost Sounds, but a little heavier, more driving and more punk than the former and a little more controlled and pop-oriented than the latter. Three short, distorted blasts of catchiness.

"This is a wonderful grilled pizza that does not have any tomatoes/tomato sauce!! The dough for this recipe is #182309, make 1 big pizza or lots of small ones. When we made this in class, we blew-up our eggplant so we had to use roasted red peppers in its place.(If you are roasting in a brick oven, PIERCE the eggplant before roasting to prevent the explosion and HUGE mess.) It was VERY good, so if you don't have any eggplant but do have some peppers USE THEM....just roast them first. Drizzle the finished pizza with some Basil Oil for a REAL treat."

Horizon Shipbuilding delivers two ships in three days
Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc., Bayou La Batre, Alabama, recently met a major corporate milestone by delivering two ships in three days -- the M/V John Grimsley No. 59 on Saturday, October 10, 2009 and the M/V Isla San Luis on Tuesday, October 13, 2009.
Built for Florida Marine Transporters (FMT), Mandeville, La., M/V John Grimsley No. 59 designed by John Gilbert, is a 140 ft long by 42 ft wide, 9 ft 2 in draft, towboat. It was launched using Horizon Shipbuilding's 600 metric ton TraveLift.
The towboat is four-decked and outfitted for service in areas with overhead clearance restrictions and draft limitations. It is powered by two 12-cylinder EMD 710 engines driving 99 inch propellers through Nico MGN 5023Z gearboxes. There are two Cummins generators to support ship's power. The steering system is provided by EMI. The accommodations on the vessel are for a pilot, master, engineer, and six crew members.
According to Horizon's Project Manager, John Carnley, the vessel's 6000 available horsepower will easily push 25 fully loaded barges throughout the inland waterways of the southeast United States.
Jeff Brumfield, Sr. Manager of Boat Construction for FMT commented, "We are very pleased with the vessel's capabilities and the workmanship that Horizon's production staff exhibited throughout the build process. Horizon's management and production folks teamed with our staff to develop a vessel specific to our needs that will give us great service for many years to come."
The M/V Isla San Luis is the second of two high speed Fast Intervention Supply Vessels (FSIV) for Grupo TMM of Mexico. The M/V Isla San Luis is 182 ft long, with a 34 ft beam and a depth of 13 ft.
It is powered by four Cummins KTA50M2 engines driving 4 propellers through Twindisc gear boxes and has bow thrusters. Design services were by Horizon Shipbuilding and Castleman Maritime of Kemah, Texas.
According to Ron Gunter, the vessel's Project Manager, "Some unique characteristics of the vessel include clear deck cargo of 3,010 sq. ft., liquid mud of 42,337 gallons, and drill water of 32,976 gallons."
Ing. Luis Ocejo, Director, Marine Division for Grupo TMM said that the vessel is set to will start a 5 year time charter contract for Pemex Exploration and Production.

Donate Because All Black People's Lives Are Important
Donor dollars are very important to Black CAP and they allow us to support program areas that our funders do not typically support. Without your support we would be unable to provide a range of important programs and services to Black, African and Caribbean people living in Toronto. With more than 3,000 Black people living with AIDS in Ontario and the majority of them living in Toronto we depend on your support. To make a onetime or monthly donation to Black CAP click here to donate online. If you would like to provide a donation to Black CAP through an automatic withdrawal from your bank account every month please call or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for helping us support Black people living with HIV and AIDS and helping us to prevent new HIV infections. Every dollar of every donation is targeted to programs and services for our clients.
Donors help Black CAP in a number of ways, including:
Emergency Financial Assistance
- Our Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) Program supports people living with HIV and AIDS (PHAs) at moments of financial hardship. This program supports costs such as utility bills, treatment costs, transportation, immigration expenses and other costs that are hard to cover.
- For instance our EFA has helped a young mother who is living on the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) when she runs out of money for groceries at the end of the month. She comes to the agency and tells our support staff that she has no food left in the house and is out of baby formula. Black CAP's EFA program provides the young mom with a cheque for $100 to cover end of month costs and a food voucher for $50 to buy some much needed food.
- Every year Black CAP provides about $10K in EFA support to our clients, however the demand for these dollars continues to increase as the number of our clients grow. As one client tells us, "I've had to use the EFA program when all of my other options have run out, without it I could have ended up on the street or hungry".
- This program is important because PHAs are a group that often faces exceptional financial hardships due to barriers to employment, migration status, dependence on income assistance programs, and expensive treatments.
- Programming for people living with HIV and AIDS
- Black CAP delivers a range of direct programming for people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs)
- A young 19 year old refugee from Zimbabwe receives his diagnosis for HIV over the phone from his immigration doctor. Confused, scared and alone he comes to Black CAP to talk to someone he hopes will help him decide what to do next. Black CAP's Settlement and Support programs help him pick up the pieces, supporting him to access treatment, housing, and a monthly support group for people newly diagnosed with HIV.
- Programming for PHAs is important because it addresses the broad range of issues that PHAs face in our community such as social isolation, access to treatment information, peer support and navigating a complex immigration system.
- Donor dollars support a range of programming for PHAs in our community. Programming includes:
- An Annual Healing Retreat where our client get time away with their peers, attend workshops related to treatment and participate in wellness programming.
- Monthly groups for those newly diagnosed with HIV, and long-term survivors.
- An annual holiday party where individual clients and families are given gift baskets and gift certificates to make the holidays more enjoyable.
- This program is a priority because there are significant gaps in programming for PHAs in Toronto. Existing programming does not address the full range of needs and challenges that PHAs face in their day-to-day lives.
Prevention Programming
- At a time when one in four new HIV diagnoses in Toronto are in our community and two out of every three women newly diagnosed with HIV are Black women, prevention programming is more important than ever.
- Our prevention programming is focused on priority communities, including young women and young gay and bisexual men.
- A young 13 year old girl is in a relationship with a 17 year old boy who she trusts with her life. They have sex often, but he insists on never using a condom, telling her that he is "clean", she believes him. Then she sees a Black CAP poster at her school that asks the question, "what else isn't he telling you?"and a link to the onenightyourchoice.com website where she finds information about better choices in her relationships and reducing her risk for HIV, STIs and unplanned pregnancy.
- A donation supports the development of resources, printing costs, events and other innovative outreach activities to spread the word about reducing HIV risk.
- Black CAP has identified anti-homophobia programming as an important component of its HIV prevention and human rights programming. Homophobia is persistent and pervasive in our communities and innovative responses are required.
- Gene is a young Jamaican man who has lived a life of violence at the hands of his father, mother and siblings because he was always thought to be a little too soft. At 19 he leaves Jamaica and comes to Canada as a refugee. A friend had told him about Black CAP and that there were staff there who could help with his immigration claim. He goes to the agency, meets with staff and is soon free from the violence in his life.
- A donation in this area supports the promotion of Black CAP's new Anti-Homophobia campaign, the delivery of workshops, and the sponsorship of emerging organizations.
Outreach at Pride and Caribana
- It is important for Black CAP to be visible at large community events; this allows us to get our message out to a large number of people within a short amount of time.
- At such events Black CAP distributes important information which helps people to recognize their risk for HIV and STIs, reduce HIV related stigma, and raise an issue that is not commonly discussed.
- A young man who has never seen the issue of HIV/AIDS talked about in public, until he sees Black CAP staff and volunteers handing out condoms along the parade route. He has never seen the issue raised so he always assumed that he could never get HIV/AIDS. Since Caribana and other big community events in Toronto never seem to include space to talk about HIV/AIDS in our Black communities. Now that he recognizes that he is at risk he gets his first HIV test.
- A donation supports costs such as outreach resources like t-shirts, flyers, condom wallets, special event costs and outreach programs.
Undesignated Gifts
- Undesignated gifts are very important to Black CAP. They allow Black CAP to cover unexpected costs, innovative program expansion and the pilot testing of different program areas.
Gifts of Securities
- By donating gifts of securities you can help Black CAP and potentially receive a significant tax break. To donate gifts of securities please click on the Canada helps link and follow the instructions.
Donate to help the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention

Forgotten Book - Send for Paul Temple
There's a mystery, incidentally, about the authorship of this book. What happened was that Durbridge, a young man of 25, created Paul Temple for the radio,and the success of this story prompted thousands of listeners to demand more of the same - suffice to say that Durbridge certainly obliged them, as Temple became an immensely popular long-running character. Durbridge also turned the story into a novel, but for that he had a co-writer, John Thewes, who seems rather to have been airbrushed from history.
I've consulted Melvyn Barnes, the greatest authority on Durbridge, and he is fairly sure that Thewes was a pen-name for Charles Hatton, who co-wrote several Temple books as Hatton. But why he adopted a pen-name for one collaboration and not others is unclear. Or maybe Charles Hatton was another pseudonym? Possibly he worked for the BBC, but information about him is scant.I, and indeed Melvyn, would be glad to learn more
One of the reasons I mention this little mystery, by the way, is that I've recently been sent some fascinating info about Gerald Findler, the ultra-obscure author of a story I included in Resorting to Murder. Not even that legendary mine of information Bob Adey had been able to trace any details about Findler, but a correspondent has now told me quite a bit about him. So often, interesting know-how is out there; the challenge is to get hold of it. But the internet, for all its quirks and unreliability, does make the task easier.
Anyway, back to Paul Temple. Scotland Yard is baffled by a series of jewel robberies in the Midlands. The only clue is the dying words of two members of the gang who helped with "inside jobs" before being murdered for their pains. But what is the significance of the words "The Green Finger"? The Press campaign noisily for Temple, a wealthy writer and criminologist, to be consulted by the Yard.
Soon the great man finds himself in the thick of it. Luckily, he meets a pretty and dynamic blonde reporter who uses the alias Steve Trent, and has her own reasons to help him. In the course of their attempts to solve the mystery, they fall in love. As we now know, they lived happily - and very adventurously - ever after.

Excellent to know they are out again - I have only ever listened to the audio and thanks for all the extra detail (just heading off to consult the Barnes book myself).

Oh, this sounds great! Going straight on my TBR list - and I must remember to tell my older sister about them. I only vaguely remember the originals on the radio and was too young to appreciate them, whereas they were unmissable for my mother and sister.
- 28 August 2015 at 14:36
I've just listened to a couple of non-Temple Durbridges read by Greg Wise - despite his usual formulae they are very enjoyable, and Wise reads well. Hope he does some more mysteries!

Martin, Charles Hatton was born in Stourbridge in 1905. He was a playwright including many radio plays. He was also an author and journalist. He wrote some of the scripts for The World of Tim Frazer. I have read several Francis Durbridge and the vary from the very good (The World of Tim Frazer) to the terrible (Paul Temple and the Harkdale Robbery) - I think that Durbridge may have employed different authors to novelize his various TV series, hence the variation in quality. A few years ago I found on the internet an obscure writer claiming he had done some ghost writing including a paperback original for Francis Durbridge - unfortunately I can't remember his name

Fiona, they are great fun. I've heard some of the originals on CD, and they are very well done.

- Martin Edwards said...
Thanks, Richmonde. Among the non-Temples, I can recommend Bat out of Hell especially highly. Brilliant twisty plot.
- 29 August 2015 at 12:38
- Martin Edwards said...
Jamie, that's fascinating -thanks very much. Good point regarding the novelisations. Just as I loved the TV version of Bat out of Hell, so I thought the novel was especially well done, and on the whole superior to the typical Durbridge. Maybe a clue to the input of someone else?
- 29 August 2015 at 12:39
- Jamie Sturgeon said...
Martin, I have found the website for the ghost-writer, his name is John Garforth, see: https://johngarforth.wordpress.com/writer-hack-writer-and-jobbing-playwright/

Send for Paul Temple will definitely be added to my shopping list. Coincidentally I bought the TV series on DVD a couple of days ago.

- Paul Taylor-Greaves said...
Well, thanks to this blog post I bought Send for Paul Temple and Paul Temple and the Front Page Men. I rocketed through them and I think they'll be a guilty pleasure for me too. I've heard the radio serials, seen the films and have the Francis Matthews DVD set but for some reason had never read the novels. Thanks for flagging up the reissues as I will be getting the set. I have to say though that I preferred Front Page Men...

Thanks,both. Paul, delighted you are enjoying these books.

Encounter With the Three trade routes connecting Asia to Europe (cc) photo by medhead on Flickr Northern Route Central
Route Southern
Route In 1453, the Turks captured the city of Constantinople through which two routes passed. They closed the Northern and Central Routes. However, they allow Venetians to use the Southern Route on condition paying fees. Therefore, they monopolize and compelled Portugal and Spain to look for another route in going to Asia. EARLY VOYAGES TO ASIA Of all European countries, Portugal was the first to send expeditions to the East. Prince Henry "The Navigator", he sent an sent an expedition to the Azores in his desire to make Portugal a sea power. The expedition discovered the islands of Madeira and the Azores. He developed instruments for navigation like astrolabe, windrose compass and caravel. Bartholemew Diaz discovered the Cape of Good Hope
Christopher Colombus discovered Northern America
Vicente Pizon discovered Brazil
Nunez de Balboa discovered Pacific Ocean The Division of the World The Division of the World There was a sea rivalry resulted from the discoveries made by the Spain and Portugal. Pope Alexander VI, a Spaniard, issued a papal bull in 1493 dividing the world into two. 1. All lands south and west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands were to belong to Spain while Portugal was to take the possession of Africa.
2. An imaginary line was drawn from north to south at 100 degrees west of the Azores. Lands of the east would belong to Portugal and the west would belong to Spain. 3. The pope being a Spaniard nullified the provision of the second bull by allowing Spain to own lands to be discovered in the East which properly belong to Portugal. The king of Portugal protested the decision of the Pope because it violated the rights of Portugal. As a result, they concluded the TREATY OF TORDESILLAS. 1. An imaginary line was drawn from north to south at a distance of 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands. Lands to be discovered at east would belong to Portugal and those on the west to Spain.
2. If Spanish ships discovered lands east of the demarcation line, the said lands should be turned over to Portugal and vice versa.
3. No Portuguese ships shall be sent to lands belonging to Spain and vice versa, for the purpose of trading with them. The TREATY OF TORDESILLAS was issued on June 07, 1494 The Magellan Expedition The Magellan Expedition Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese who went to Spain to offer his services to the Spanish King. Magellan was ignored rather than rewarded for his services to the Crown. This hurt Magellan and left Portugal for Spain. With the help of visual aids like maps and illustrations, he can reach the Moluccas known as Spice Islands by sailing west. The expedition consisted of five ships: the flagship Trinidad, the Concepcion, the Victoria, the Santiago and the San Atonio. Magellan heard Mass in the Church of Santa Lucia de la Victoria, after which the captains and crew of the ship took an oath of loyalty to Magellan as their commander-in-chief. On September 20, 1519, the expedition started and cross the Atlantic. Magellan's Voyage Magellan's Voyage On March 17, 1521, Magellan reached Philippines (Samar). The next day, Magellan ordered his men to land at Homonhon islet so the sick men can rest. Magellan proceeded to the islet of Limasawa, which was ruled by Rajah Kulambu. They became friends together with his brother, Agu and sealed their friendship with a blood compact. On Easter Sunday, March 31, Magellan ordered a Mass to be celebrated on the islet. Father Pedro de Valderrama celebrated mass near the seashore. This was the first mass held in the Philippines. THE FIRST BAPTISM Magellan, hearing of a rich island not far away, he ordered his captains to sail for what is now Cebu. Guided by Rajah Kulambu, the ships entered Cebu on April 08, 1521. The Cebu chieftain, Rajah Humabon, welcomed the Spaniards and ensued a blood compact between them. On April 15, 1521, Mass was celebrated in Cebu. Magellan persuaded the Cebuanos to become Christians. Rajah Humabon was given the Christian name Carlos in honor of King Charles of Spain, and his wife was given the name Juana, in honor of King Charles' mother. Magellan presented Juana the image of Infant Jesus where it is now the Patron of Cebu. The Battle of M.A.C.T.A.N

Composer makes new music to honor mentors, friends
As a baby boomer, composer Russell Steinberg has lived long enough to see admired mentors and friends pass away. Instead of falling into a deep funk, however, Steinberg decided the best way to honor those who inspired him was to take his composing career, begun when he was 10 years old, to another level.
Acknowledged as an effective teacher and conductor — he is artistic and executive director of the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra — Steinberg is also a popular pre-concert speaker at venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall and for the New West Symphony. He said a recent burst of creativity, which began last September, owes a lot to Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis, especially the rabbi's 2001 book, "Finding Each Other in Judaism: Meditations on the Rites of Passage From Birth to Immortality."
For Steinberg, Schulweis became an invaluable midlife inspiration. He realized, to paraphrase one of Schulweis' meditations, "It Is Never Too Late," that it was never too late to alter his world by opening himself "to curative forces buried within / to hidden energies / the powers in my interior self."
Steinberg has turned the rabbi's words into reality. Within the next two months, the composer will experience the premieres of three works. First up, on April 25, is an orchestral piece, "Cosmic Dust," at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. Commissioned by the New West Symphony, "Cosmic Dust" opens a program, conducted by Marcelo Lehninger, that includes Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, with Sonia Goulart as soloist, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
The program repeats on April 26 at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, and the following day at Barnum Hall in Santa Monica.
During a wide-ranging conversation at a Westside coffee house, Steinberg talked about his new scores: "Cosmic Dust"; String Quartet No. 2; and "Sacred Transitions," a song cycle based on meditations by Schulweis.
"I went to a service two or three years ago at Valley Beth Shalom in Encino and had an inspiring moment," Steinberg said, recalling how hearing Schulweis speak about mortality and our fascination with astronomy set "Cosmic Dust" in motion.
" 'Dust,' the rabbi said, 'comes from the stars,' " Steinberg recalled. "There is something divine in us. There is the sense that when we look at the stars, we're looking at a piece of ourselves."
The 12-minute score, in four sections — with titles such as "Magic Sky" and "Interstellar Dust" — includes some challenging passages. Steinberg noted one effect in the second section, "Shooting Stars," that asks for ricochet glissandi, in which string players throw their bows against the strings, "almost like skipping rocks over water."
"It's kind of my 'La Mer' for the heavens," Steinberg said, referring to Debussy's famous symphonic celebration of the sea, "with the final section, 'Nova,' a joyful fanfare."
At the Oxnard and Thousand Oaks performances, Steinberg said, members of the Conejo Valley Youth Orchestras will perform side by side with New West Symphony pros, accompanied by projected images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The premiere of Steinberg's String Quartet No. 2, performed by the Lyric Quartet, will be featured on May 3 at the First Lutheran Church of Venice. It's part of the esteemed Hear Now Festival of New Music by Contemporary Los Angeles Composers, which begins May 2 at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica.
Hugh Levick, founder and artistic director of the festival, now in its fourth year, called Steinberg's second string quartet "more accomplished" than his first, which was given its premiere at the festival in 2011.
"There's no one way to write music anymore," Levick said. "We look for innovation and the unexpected, and Steinberg's quartet has an angular, jagged quality, with wonderful texture and quiet passages."
Steinberg grew up in the San Fernando Valley, earned his doctorate in music at Harvard and studied with composers such as Leon Kirchner and Arthur Berger. He is a pianist and gifted classical guitarist who wrote a piece at age 17 for Andres Segovia. After hearing it, the great classical guitarist was encouraging, suggesting he "learn more about form" by studying Mozart.
"It was my first real validation as a composer," Steinberg said. "It changed my life."
With Kirchner and Berger now gone — as well as the likes of Eve Cohen, former program director at the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra — Steinberg's life as a composer entered a new phase.
"I would say that the intense activity and focus on composition that I've begun since last September, what I'm teasingly calling 'Year One' to myself and friends, is a direct reaction to the many great people who have died in recent years, beginning with Kirchner and extending to this last year with my father and Eve," Steinberg wrote in a follow-up e-mail. "Roy Travis, an emeritus UCLA composition professor, passed away with little fanfare, and family members are lost about what to do with his music. That impressed upon me how important it is for us composers today not to, in any sense, wait to be discovered. It's up to us (me)."
Steinberg said he was "excited but nervous" when the rabbi, now 89, listened to a run-through of his "Sacred Transitions," eight songs based on selected meditations from the rabbi's "Finding Each Other in Judaism" set for voice, violin and piano.
"I set the rabbi's texts as art songs, the most intimate form of chamber music," Steinberg recalled. "I wanted the cycle to have some of the feel of Schubert's 'Winterreise.' " After the rendition, Schulweis seemed unmoved.
Steinberg said he did not reconsider his approach because "the rabbi's words are too deep and complex" to render in more folk or pop-like forms.
Listeners can judge for themselves on May 28 when the premiere of "Sacred Transitions" takes place at Valley Beth Shalom. Steinberg on piano will accompany mezzo-soprano Diana Tash, with Mitchell Newman on violin.
One of the rabbi's meditations especially close to Steinberg's heart is placed sixth in the composer's song cycle. "Playing With Three Strings" describes how violinist Itzhak Perlman broke a string during a performance but continued playing brilliantly. The end of the meditation quotes Perlman telling his appreciative audience, "It is my task to make music with what remains." The rabbi concludes, "A legacy mightier than a concert. / Make music with what remains."
"So I made my music a priority," Steinberg said. "I saw my mentors dying, their works unknown. What do we do it for? It's not vanity. I realized that what we do is important, and I was sick and tired of my own insecurity. I've got an important voice, and it's amazing how the world has listened."

States with World-Class STEM
For years, America's leaders have decried the poor showing of American students on international comparisons of math and science skills. But a new Department of Education report finds that many states outperform their global peers, including top STEM achiever Massachusetts.

Jason Pierre-Paul took a good, hard look in the mirror this week and didn't like what he saw staring back at him.
He didn't see the happy-go-lucky face of the Monster of the Meadowlands, the giant among Giants who was destined to strike fear into the hearts of quarterbacks around the league and arrive in Canton on roller skates. He saw a young man in the prime of his NFL life who was no longer having the fun he so often did his first two seasons in the league.
Someone who has learned the same cruel lessons of NFL life they all learn, unless your name is Lawrence Taylor: You don't just show up in Superman's cape and wait for the enemy to swoon at your feet.
Tune in Funday for Giants-Browns and keep your eyes on No. 90.
"I can't just go out there thinking I'm going to get the job done because I'm Jason Pierre-Paul," Jason Pierre-Paul said.
Especially not when you are confronted with constant double- and triple-teams.
"I'm going to go out there having fun like I had last year," Pierre-Paul said. "I haven't been having fun this year."
Why not?
"Because I think people have high expectations of me and I got to live up to that," he said. "But I haven't been thinking like, 'Just go out there, just run around like I used to.'
"Starting this week, I'm going to be running around. I just got to go out there and just run around like a little kid, man. Have that energy like I had last year."
When he recorded 16 ¹/₂ sacks with 86 tackles and wrecked the game for the other team.
"I was just running to the ball no matter what," Pierre-Paul said. "If the ball was way across the field, I just ran to the ball."
He has 1 ¹/₂ sacks and 17 tackles this season. The most fun he has had was dunking Prince Amukamara in a cold tub.
"The sacks are going to come," Pierre-Paul said.
They're going to come for him and they're going to come for Justin Tuck, who has zero sacks and is having even less fun.
"We aren't living up to the way we expect to be around here," Tuck said. "But it's a young season. We'll figure it out."
Tuck points out that Big Blue's aggressiveness has been compromised by injuries to the secondary as well as the premium on containing the likes of Cam Newton and Michael Vick.
"Every team is changing the way they play us," Pierre-Paul said. "We just got to come out there and adjust to it. We just got to be patient and get after them."
The task against the Browns is to kill the body (Trent Richardson) so the head (Brandon Weeden) dies.
"We're going to hit him, we're going to have to hit him," Pierre-Paul said. "We got to stop the running game first, before we get to the passer."
The 5-foot-9, 230-pound rookie running back thinks that might be easier said than done.
"I think that if we cover the edges and run hard, not doing all this juking and that, one move and go, I think we can have some success in the running game," Richardson said.
"To me, he reminds me of Lynch a little bit — a bigger version of Marshawn Lynch," defensive tackle Linval Joseph said.
"I think that if we cover the edges and run hard, not doing all this juking and that, one move and go, I think we can have some success in the running game," Richardson said.
Richardson has accounted for 222 of the Browns' 305 rushing yards with three TDs and is also their leading receiver.
"I think he's a little bit more powerful than [Maurice] Jones-Drew," Tuck said. "We're going to have to do a good job of trying to take him out of the football game."
The great Jim Brown has turned into a fan.
"He's a young guy, but the way he plays ball, he plays ball like he's definitely been here before," Antrel Rolle said. "It starts there. It starts with shutting Richardson down."
DT Rocky Bernard (quadriceps) did not practice yesterday. Markus Kuhn and Marvin Austin would replace him. Asked whom Richardson is similar to, Bernard said: "I wouldn't say an Adrian Peterson, but he kinda runs that way — real strongA lot of guys don't take him down on the first contact."
Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell may have the solution for Pierre-Paul and his Big Blue Brethren to enjoy Funday at 1.
"Sometimes," Fewell said, "you just have to whip somebody's [butt] and go make a play."

Recent Pfizer CME grants take non-clinical approach
Most pharma medical affairs departments use their med ed budgets to plug gaps in physicians' medical knowledge. While important, commercially supported CME activities geared around therapeutic areas have also spurred accusations of bias and brought negative attention on drugmakers.
In a sign of industry's ongoing desire to broaden its CME funding outlook, a couple of recently supported educational programs by Pfizer aim to foster practice-based improvement as they seek to advance the science of CME.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) said it's using a three-year, $2-million educational Pfizer grant to develop an outcomes-based performance improvement effort.
The non-profit is mining databases of 10 facilities, then using the registry data to direct physician educational needs at those member institutions, which include oncology facilities at Boston's Mass General, Philly's Fox Chase and MD Anderson in Texas.
"It's totally different from anything that the large oncology groups have done to this point," Pfizer's senior director of education, oncology, Brian McGowan, said of the NCCN program. "It's not a push educational meeting, not a webinar of some sort. This is pretty much as practice-based and as performance-driven as any of the educational programs that I've seen in the last two years."
The NCCN's ultimate goal is to hold a summit on oncology quality improvement and publish lessons learned, actions that would have far-reaching impact.
Along similar lines, Pfizer recently committed a $300,000 challenge grant to the Joslin Diabetes Center for a CME research project that's designed to analyze different outcomes methods used to measure doctor performance (MM&M June 2011). According to Joslin's executive director of professional education Julie Brown, the center has since been able to raise the second half of the grant from other supporters.
Both the Joslin and NCCN grants are consistent with Pfizer's stated desire to trend away from didactic, update-oriented education toward developing quality-improvement-based activities at the local level. ACCME helped spur this several years ago when it updated its compliance criteria to reward med-ed providers for demonstrating that their activities improve quality.
Both came in as non-solicited requests focused on the science of education, rather than on a clinical area, McGowan said. Such programs "seem to be received the best and to be a more appropriate place for support to go."
Supporting practice-based improvement and advancing the science of CME, while they help further the core competencies of physicians, are also necessary for real change to occur. "That's just something that's always been at the mission of our group at Pfizer," McGowan said.
He refuted any notion of a trend away from supporting clinical-related activities—those focused on medical knowledge and patient care, the competencies that most directly relate to clinical practice.
These kinds of programs still account for the vast majority of CME grant applications received by Pfizer. "But a few times a year we receive requests that, while still related to improving medical knowledge, also help support the other parts of being an effective physician," said McGowan. "When we issue a CGA [or RFP] we have tried to move the needle in the other competencies too."

FX Punches Ticket for Two Pilots
FX is cranking up its development machine, greenlighting a pair of drama pilots about men whose professions have distanced them from their families.
"Lights Out" will follow a one-time boxing champion who's struggling with the onset of dementia and takes a job as a collections enforcer to help make ends meet. It comes from "The Bucket List" writer Justin Zackham. The cable channel has also ordered a pilot from "Boomtown" creator Graham Yost that's based on an Elmore Leonard short story.
The two projects are the first pilots FX has ordered in better than a year. The network is also developing a project based on Brian Michael Bendis' comic book "Powers," but it hasn't reached the pilot stage yet.
"Lights Out" is about a guy who's "going through late adolescence, someone who attempts to leave his family and friends in a better place and to better himself," Zackham tells The Hollywood Reporter. He's executive producing with director Phillip Noyce ("Rabbit-Proof Fence") and Ross Fineman, who brought the idea to Zackham.
The Yost pilot is based on Leonard's story "Fire in the Hole," about a federal marshal in Kentucky. It will focus on both his work and his personal life, which includes an ex-wife and his father. Yost will exec produce with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly.
The project would be Yost's first weekly series for cable, although he has worked on several HBO miniseries, including "Band of Brothers," " John Adams" and the upcoming "The Pacific." He also created NBC's short-lived detective series "Raines."

For years and years I have been collection Lenox Holiday China.
I have the entire place settings for 12 people and a ton of matching accent pieces.
Fortunately for the last few years it has just been grabbing the new pieces and the great sale items. No huge ticket items. All bought and done with! I swear I must have everything.
This year I have added these two beauties to my collection:
The Lenox Holiday Covered Dish – 6-1/2 x 9-1/2
The Lenox Holiday Round Platter – 13″
I love how they tell me it is dishwasher safe, like I would EVER put my china in the dishwasher.
I really need to inventory my china. But more importantly, I need to have a dinner party again.
Thanks for looking!

Westchester USA
A case of racial engineering that Obama wants to take nationwide.
Residents of the northern New York City suburbs were recently treated to a TV ad invoking images of the Jim Crow South and claiming that Westchester County executive Rob Astorino has "repeatedly violated anti-discrimination laws for years." None of the ad is true, but it does reveal some important political news with national implications.
To wit, Mr. Astorino is resisting the Obama Administration's attempt to rewrite local zoning laws by federal fiat, and as the Republican candidate for Governor of New York he has...

ATLANTA -- The one-week countdown to the start of Braves spring training found Craig Kimbrell and Jonny Venters doing what they do best: throwing hard.
Kimbrell, a 22-year-old right-hander, and Venters, a 25-year-old left-hander, are the favorites to take the closer's role left vacant with Billy Wagner's retirement.
One week before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, Kimbrell and Venters were showing off their fastballs Monday at the Braves' early pitchers camp at Turner Field.
New manager Fredi Gonzalez said Kimbrell and Venters may share save situations this season. Some believe Kimbrell may win the job after he averaged two strikeouts per inning in 2010.
Kimbrell was 4-0 with an incredibly low 0.44 earned run average and a save in his only opportunity last season. He had 40 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings.
Even Venters said Kimbrell pitched like a closer.
"I think Craig is probably the front-runner for that job," Venters said Monday. "He's got a great arm and strikes out a bunch of guys."
Kimbrell said he wasn't trying to audition for the 2011 closer's role last season.
"I didn't see it like that at all," he said. "I saw it as going out there and just pitching to help the team win. It didn't matter if it was in the sixth inning or in the 12th inning, I was going to give it my all."
Kimbrell and Venters insisted they would be happy in any role. But when asked if he sees himself as the closer, Kimbrell acknowledged, "I hope so. There's a lot of guys working for that job this year. No job is set in stone."
Of the two, Kimbrell had a shorter stay with Atlanta last season. He stuck after his second promotion and appeared in only 21 games.
"Kimbrell came in last year and really built a lot of confidence with us and with the coaches with how he came in and pitched his second time up last year," veteran starter Tim Hudson said Monday. "He looked like he really belonged, and we're excited about how he's come."
Venters was called up on April 17 and never went back to the minors. The left-hander assumed an increasingly more important role and finished 4-4 with one save and a 1.95 ERA in 79 games. He had 93 strikeouts in 83 innings.
If Gonzalez has a favorite for the closer's role, he's not saying. He hinted that each could be used to finish games.
"The plan is, we're going to give Venters and Kimbrell the opportunity," Gonzalez said. "Whichever way it falls, lefties or whatever."
Venters said he'd be happy sharing saves "as long as whoever comes out for the ninth gets the job done."
"It's about getting the job done, not about who's closing," Venters said.
An offseason priority was adding experience to the bullpen. The Braves acquired right-hander Scott Linebrink from the White Sox and signed left-hander George Sherrill as a free agent.
"So you have backups if something happens," Gonzalez said.
The veterans were needed after Wagner's retirement and the team's decision not to re-sign Takashi Saito.
Two other veterans, right-hander Peter Moylan and left-hander Eric O'Flaherty, return in the bullpen.
Sherrill totaled 51 saves with Baltimore in 2008-09, but he said Monday it will be a surprise if the ninth inning belongs anyone other than the kids this season.
"I've heard a lot of good things about Venters and Kimbrell," said Sherrill, 33. "I think it's one of their jobs to lose, is how I kind of see it. It doesn't matter to me. It'd be nice to close again, but that's not the most important thing. Anything I can do to help us win, that's what I'm here for."
The Braves equipment truck and some staff members left Atlanta for Florida on Monday.

She supports the activists and their efforts, but is adamant the movement's leaders will have more success if they took their protests to the White House in Washington, D.C. and defined their goals more clearly.
She tells Interview magazine, "You know, if Occupy Wall Street was actually a march, and people from all around the country could collect and march toward Washington, D.C., as part of this massive movement of people... I think that kind of pressure is more powerful than a sit-in that seems a little more unorganised.
"I do feel positive about what's happening. I think that with all these movements, and this growing collective voice that's emerging, people are starting to come out of the kind of dazed state they were in for so many years."
Johannson admits she has steered clear of joining the ranks of the celebrities who have shown their support for the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York - because she's not quite sure what the demonstrators want.
She adds, "I thought about going down there, and, obviously, it's important to shed light on something like that, but I'm... not exactly sure what the message is behind it all. It is sort of unclear. I mean, yes, people are fed up - and I think quite rightfully so - but what are they proposing as an alternative to just being upset or feeling disillusioned or abandoned?"
Stars like Kanye West, Russell Simmons, Anne Hathaway and Susan Sarandon have shown their support by visiting the anti-corporate greed protesters at their Zuccotti Park base in Manhattan.
The Occupy Wall Street protest began in New York City in September (11) and has since spread around the world.

TV chef Mario Batali has added his name to the growing list of Justin Bieber critics, insisting the pop star's recent public urination incident in the kitchen of a restaurant is further proof the hitmaker needs "a wake-up call".
Bieber was recently caught on a cell-phone camera peeing into a mop bucket as he exited a New York diner and his gross action has upset leading figures in the culinary arts.
Outspoken chef and TV personality Anthony Bourdain has already lashed out at Bieber, tweeting, "The chef should have put his foot up this young punk's a**," and adding, "My dishwasher ain't cleaning that up, squirrel balls!"
Now cook and TV talk show host Batali, who has fronted cooking and travel shows with pal Gwyneth Paltrow, has waded into the drama.
Appearing on CNN show Piers Morgan Tonight on Thursday (25Jul13), which Bourdain was guest hosting, Batali said, "I would have brutally kicked his (Bieber's) a**. That's not just being funny and flip - that's actually peeing on somebody's workplace. That's odd. That's weird... I think he just needs a wake-up call.
"I don't think he's an evil kid... (but) you can't defend that."
Bieber has yet to fully own up to the urination incident, but he appeared to show remorse for the controversy after the footage surfaced online on 10 July (13) by tweeting, "In life u (you) will make mistakes and people will try and tear u down... but u gotta stay positive. Stay strong.. and learn to be better... and... always live to serve others and The Lord. Growing every day."
