European Commission
Brussels, 7 February 2013
Proposed Directive on Network and Information Security – frequently asked questions
Information systems can be affected by security incidents, such as human mistakes, natural events, technical failures or malicious attacks. These incidents are becoming bigger, more frequent, and more complex. 57% of people who responded to a Commission consultation said they had experienced Network Information Security (NIS) incidents over the previous year. A lack of NIS can compromise vital services: it can stop businesses functioning, generate substantial financial losses for the EU economy and negatively affect societal welfare. Digital information systems, in particular the internet, work across borders. A disruption in one EU country can have a knock-on effect in other Member States or the EU as a whole - for example, cross-border movement of goods, services and people could be hampered.
Who will benefit and how?
Citizens and consumers, however they define themselves, will have more trust in the technologies, services and systems they rely on day-to-day. This increased confidence will means a more inclusive cyberspace, and a digital economy that grows even faster, supporting our economic recovery.
Governments and businesses will be able to rely on digital networks and infrastructure to provide their essential services at home and across borders. Secure eCommerce platforms could bring more customers online and create new opportunities.
Providers of ICT security products and services will benefit from specific security measures, combined with a more harmonised EU approach. Demand for their products and services is bound to increase, leading to innovative products and economies of scale.
Activists need to be safe online in order to express themselves freely. A more secure and resilient internet means these vital voices will be heard and protected more than happens today.
The EU economy will benefit as sectors that rely heavily on NIS will be supported to offer a more reliable service. Harmonised NIS requirements will lead to more consistent risk management measures and response and more systematic reporting of incidents. All of these should create more equal and stable conditions for anyone trying to compete in Europe's Single Market.
When will the Directive come into effect?
Member States will have to implement the Directive within 18 months of its adoption by the Council and European Parliament.
Why do digital technologies, networks and services need protecting?
Because most Europeans rely on digital technologies, networks and services to conduct their day-to-day life, even if they don't always realise it. Each year, 200 million Europeans – 40% of all citizens – buy over the internet. The ICT sector alone represents almost 6% EU GDP, and Europe's ICT sector and ICT-related investments deliver around half of our productivity growth. The internet economy has generated 21% of EU GDP growth over the last 5 years. Major cybersecurity incidents put jobs and our chances for economic growth at risk.
What is the scale of the problem?
Cybersecurity incidents or breaches can have a major impact on individual companies and on Europe's wider economy. According to a Symantec and Ponemon Institute study, a data breach could cost a company anything up to US$58 million, with equally significant potential side effects like reputational damage, loss of customers and market share. A 2012 PwC survey found that 93% of large corporations and 76% of small businesses had a cybersecurity breach in the past year, with estimated losses of £15,000-30,000 even for smaller businesses.
Recent large-scale problems have included:
Why the new approach? Are existing regulatory measures or initiatives not working?
Past efforts have been on too small a scale and too fragmented, with the voluntary nature of past efforts leaving many gaps in our overall cybersecurity.
For example, under existing EU rules, only telecoms companies and data controllers have to adopt security measures, and telecoms companies alone are required to report significant security incidents. The new proposed Directive works to level the playing field by applying to all owners of critical infrastructure.
What do the proposals on risk management and reporting of security incidents mean for businesses and other organisations?
The Commission proposes to extend the obligation to report significant cyber incidents to:
Will every incident have to be reported?
No. Only incidents having a significant impact on the security of core services provided by market operators and public administrations will have to be reported to the competent national authority. For example, an electricity outage caused by a NIS incident and having a detrimental effect on businesses; the unavailability of an online booking engine that prevents users from booking their hotels or of a cloud service provider that inhibits users to get access to their content; the compromise of air traffic control due to an outage or a cyber attack.
The competent national authority may require that the public be informed. Public announcement will not be mandatory. Wider public interest will need to be considered in such judgements and vulnerabilities should not be disclosed until appropriate security fixes are available.
Why does the Directive target internet companies?
The proposed Directive includes internet companies because it is absurd to work to protect critical internet infrastructure without obliging such companies to take responsibility for their wider role in this ecosystem.
What about Internet Service Providers or the network owners?
These companies are already reporting incidents under the risk management and incident reporting obligations under the EU Telecom Framework Directive. ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) has recently published its report on incident reporting in 2011. In total, 51 incidents were reported.
Given that Member States now have more mature national incident reporting schemes compared to 2011, ENISA expects that the next annual report will contain 10 times more incidents.
Who is exempted from the reporting obligations?
Hardware manufacturers and software developers are exempted from the risk management and reporting obligations. The same applies to specific sectors or sub-sectors, for example insurance, water, food supply. The sectors currently covered in the proposed Directive are the ones for which the importance to ensure cybersecurity is widely recognised. The public consultation on NIS also pointed to these sectors. Trust services are not covered as they are covered by the Commission's proposal for a Regulation adopted in June 2012.
Are media companies involved if they provide IT-like services?
The NIS Directive covers key internet enablers, i.e. those players whose services, delivered through the internet, empower key economic and social activities. When such activities or services are suspended for a couple of hours there may be a significant impact. The annexed table gives some examples of players that could be affected. News agencies and publishers, even when they provide IT and/or online services, are not covered. They are not key internet enablers like large eCommerce or cloud platforms, booking engines or social networks. Neither are Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox or websites like Wikipedia or content management systems like Wordpress.
What will you do to ensure companies don't end up dealing with 27 systems for reporting breaches?
Common reporting systems will be developed through implementing measures for the Directive. Specific templates could also be developed by ENISA, which has already brought together national regulators to develop harmonised national measures for risk management and incident reporting as part of the EU telecoms rules. ENISA is going through the same process for Article 4 of the ePrivacy Directive.
Doesn't security regulation limit freedom and openness?
No. This strategy and the proposed Directive emphasise that security and freedom go hand-in-hand. Security enables citizens to reap the full opportunities that digital technologies offer. It is in full compliance with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, respecting privacy, with protection for personal data, freedom to conduct a business, the right to property, the right to an effective remedy before a court and the right to be heard.
Will the EU define minimum standards or level of security?
No, the Commission is not a standard-setting body. The proposed Directive seeks to lift the quality and assurance of cybersecurity, but does not impose any specific technical standards or mandate particular technological solutions. The wider Strategy asks ENISA to work with standardisation bodies and all relevant stakeholders to develop technical guidelines and recommendations for the adoption of NIS benchmarks and good practices The proposed Directive does, however, impose the take-up of a minimum level of security by obliging critical infrastructure operators, key internet companies and public administrations to manage risks and report significant incidents. It also details a minimum set of NIS capabilities which Member States are required to put in place (e.g. a well-functioning Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) which is adequately staffed and resourced). Member States are free to go beyond and adopt or maintain stricter security requirements.
Why was minimum harmonisation chosen for the proposed NIS Directive?
The current level of NIS in the EU varies across Member States and industries. It is therefore important to first establish a common minimum level, before moving to more advanced cooperation. Those Member States and businesses that want to be frontrunners in terms of NIS by going beyond the minimum requirements are free to do so, even at this stage.
Isn't ENISA already doing enough in the field of cybersecurity in the EU?
Effective cybersecurity cannot be outsourced to a single body. ENISA will continue to provide its expertise and advice at EU level on the basis of its mandate in the new cooperation framework, to be established by the proposed NIS Directive.
How is the EU approach different to the US approach?
President Obama has long recognised cybersecurity as a top priority and recently announced that he will issue an Executive Order on cybersecurity. The executive order is likely to contain recommendations for operators of critical infrastructure such as energy and transport to join a voluntary program and follow a set of cybersecurity standards. The guidance is not thought to prescribe one type of security over another. The main difference is that under the US Executive Order companies will be encouraged, but not required to adopt some non-technical standards, to be defined by the Institute of Standardisation and Technology.
What proof is there that openness and reporting is better for companies than covering up?
The obligation to report incidents will give companies the incentive to ensure that appropriate security processes are in place. Being prepared is vital, given the staggering potential cost of just one data breach. Being open and reporting incidents is also a way to ensure the long-term survival of a company. For example, DigiNotar a Dutch certificate authority, failed to report a significant breach it suffered in 2011. When the breach was unveiled, DigiNotar suffered from a catastrophic loss of reputation and subsequently went bankrupt. Being open about a problem, and what a company is doing to resolve it, can restore confidence.

You know that by hitting the treadmill before work and walking your dog every evening, you likely have less risk of type 2 diabetes than your buddy who's glued to the couch watching 'SportsCenter' nightly and is even too lazy to join you for golf. The connection between aerobic exercise and diabetes risk has long been established: Regular workouts equal less chance of disease. But until recently, weight training's role in staving off type 2 was murky at best.
Now, after studying 32,000 men over 18 years, Harvard scientists believe that lifting weights – independent of cardio – significantly lowers diabetes risk. In fact, they found that guys who weight-trained at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, cut their chances by 34 percent. And the men in the study who weight-trained and did cardio regularly were a whopping 59 percent less likely to develop diabetes.
"One thing is clear: Combining weight training with aerobic exercise is the best way to improve glycemic control and reduce risk of type 2 diabetes," says Jose Antonio, professor of exercise science at Nova Southeastern University and CEO of the nonprofit International Society of Sports Nutrition.
The reason the hybrid strategy works is because each type of exercise is so different (kind of the way it feels when you're doing them in the gym, too). "Both types of exercise produce such disparate adaptations," Antonio explains. "Weight training, i.e., contracting skeletal muscles, results in larger and more powerful muscle fibers and helps promote the uptake of glucose into cells to be used for energy, while aerobic exercise improves mitochondrial volume density and fat burning capacity." Translation? "All of these improvements in body composition are key to optimal health and lower disease risk," says Antonio.
The scientists on the Harvard team concur that an aerobic–weight training combo is best, but they point out that many men don't have time to do both, or else struggle to stick with a regular cardio plan. If either scenario is the case for you – or your buddy – know that running, swimming, and paddling aside, pumping iron also does the body some serious long-term good.

Taylor Swift Says Her 18-Year-Old Boyfriend Is a 'Grown Man'
(NEW YORK) -- Much has been made of how young Taylor Swift's boyfriend Conor Kennedy is: the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy is 18 years old and still in school. But Taylor says as far as she's concerned, he's a grown man.
In Taylor's new Rolling Stone cover story, she takes issue with reports that she "kidnapped" Conor by flying him to Nashville for a visit.
"How did I kidnap him?" she asks Rolling Stone. "You can't kidnap a grown man! These are serious accusations, now! It's an interesting way to spin something into a story. See, this is why I don't read stuff."
As for those reports that she and Conor crashed the wedding of one of his relatives, Taylor tells the magazine, "I have no idea what happened there. I think that story was based on the biggest misunderstanding, 'cause I would never knowingly show up somewhere that I thought I wasn't invited to and I would never want to upstage anybody."
Taylor also discusses her outlook on love in the interview, noting, "The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality."
Discussing her alleged tendency to enter into serious relationships too quickly, Taylor explains that that's the way she operates, because she doesn't "hook up."
"Where's the romance? Where's the magic in that? I'm just not that girl," she says.
You can read more of Taylor's interview with the magazine Friday on RollingStone.com.

Ignacio volunteers serve abroad in Belize and Jamaica during Christmas break
Loyola press release - February 6, 2014
Thirty-seven Loyola University New Orleans students and staff went to Kingston, Jamaica to work with elderly and children with disabilities, while others traveled to the Mayan villages of Belize, to serve others for 10 days without electricity or running water. Their efforts over the Christmas break are a part of Loyola's Ignacio Volunteer Program.
The semester-long program for undergraduates is organized by the Jesuit Center in the Office of Mission and Ministry. Students and staff spent the fall semester preparing for their trip, learning about the country, the culture and the people they would learn from and serve with. The volunteers put Loyola's mission to become men and women for and with others into practice in the international service trips.
In Belize, 16 Loyola students and six staff facilitated two Christmas camps for local primary school children in rural Mayan villages. The group taught nearly 100 children math, English and arts and crafts at the Santa Cruz Primary school. The Loyola students lived as the locals do, without electricity or running water, sleeping on mats on the ground and bathing in the river.
"This Belizean adventure urges me to not take any of my fortunes for granted and to evaluate my misfortunes with a wider lens," said Loyola sophomore Eddy Schneider. "The Belizean village was so unique and amazing in its own way. In particular what stood out to me was the way that the people in the village all worked together to make the village a better place."
In the village of San Jose, six student-athletes from the Loyola baseball team, along with their coach Doug Faust, shared their baseball skills with young Mayan children whose first-ever experience with baseball was when Loyola baseball players taught them last winter. Bringing bats, gloves, baseballs and other equipment that was donated by the team for the entire camp of more than 130 children, each afternoon was spent playing tee ball and trying to catch fly balls and grounders.
"This trip has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I have learned so much about myself and things I didn't know, and I have gotten closer to a group of people and learned things about them that not many know," said Loyola junior Dylan Roudolfich.
The Belize program included students Sheeri Bornstein, Akeem Biggs, Joel Buhler, Eric Crider, Leandra Garcia, Cherie LeJeune, Daniel Pappas, Michael Pfister, Brian Reaney, Allison Rogers, Roudolfich, Brittani Sanchez, Schneider, Brandon Snow, Charles Whitman and Alden Woodhull. Staff members included Jeff Castille, Edwin Madera, David McChesney, Peter Stewart and the Rev. Ted Dziak, S.J., vice president for mission and ministry.
Fifteen Ignacio Volunteers also traveled to Jamaica to serve elderly and mentally/physically challenged young people in the tough urban areas of Kingston. Loyola students worked each day at homes run by Brothers of the Poor, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity and with young children at the Bustamante Hospital. The work was hard and tough, yet they learned as they served. Loyola nursing professor Patricia Lane, Ph.D., FNP-BC, also assisted.
The Jamaica program included students Jasmine Barnes, Marion Boreros, Shermicia Calice, Thea Celestine, Scott Clemens, Elyse Degree, Elizabeth Griffin, Nic Lefebvre, Bentlie Logan, Kylee McIntyre, Christina Paparo and Jordan Peota. Staff members included Heather Malveaux, Sam Bradley and Lane.
"Jamaica really taught me how to enjoy and appreciate the life I have," Celestine, a senior at Loyola, said. "I am always reminding myself to live life and enjoy every inch of it because someone else would love the life I take for granted. Jamaica also taught me a sense of patience. Since I have returned I am very peaceful within and I hope it stays that way."

I love Double Wedding Ring Quilts and am always impressed by anyone able to piece this design. While I have quilted some DWR Quilts, I have not pieced one myself. The following beautiful Double Wedding Ring Quilt was hand pieced by my customer Fiona. Fiona has created a stunning scrappy DWR Quilt with plain white spaces for the quilting design to shine.
My initial idea was to quilt feathers in the white spaces, however, Fiona had a much simpler vision for her quilt. While designing the quilting motif took me out of my comfort zone, I was really please with result.
The design was quilted with the aid of rulers but did not require much marking - I placed dots on various points of the diagonals and used a small circle and one curved ruler to quilt the design.
Fiona has collected her quilt and was very pleased with the finished quilt - her challenge now will be to bind the curved edges of the DWR Quilt.

Charge Your Vehicle with Clean, Hetch Hetchy Power!
The City and County of San Francisco began to build-out its Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Infrastructure in February 2009, with the installation of three "Showcase" chargers in front of City Hall. Since then, the Power Enterprise has installed 27 EV charging stations throughout 12 City-owned, public parking facilities including a curbside charger at the SFPUC's new Headquarters at 525 Golden Gate Ave. These chargers, and future additional charging stations, will serve customers with clean, Hetch Hetchy hydroelectricity. The charging units are monitored for energy usage, fuel savings and greenhouse gas reductions and their energy is available to the public at no-cost through 2013.
In addition to these 27 EV charging stations, Power has also assisted San Francisco International Airport and Treasure Island with the installation of 23 EV charging stations that are currently operational and available to the public on Treasure Island and at the airport.
As demand increases for electric vehicles, the City is gearing up to supply even more clean, Hetch Hetchy energy for new charging stations. By the end of summer 2012, the City's EV infrastructure will increase by an additional 25 charging stations. These charging stations will be added to existing and new City-owned parking facilities.

If these discussion threads at the Marathon Swimmers Forum are any indication, marathon swimmers love to argue about rules. This is not surprising; rules define the boundary conditions of our sport, what is and is not a "marathon swim." The beauty of marathon swimming derives, at least in part, from its purity and asceticism - its prohibitions against things that would make it easier.
Debates and hand-wringing occasionally arise due to a few "local variations" on marathon swimming rules:
- Neoprene caps are allowed by the Ted Erikson, who both wore neo caps on their pioneering Farallon swims.
- In NYC Swim events, swimmers are allowed to exit the water in the event of lightning, and return to the water afterward without disqualification.
- In Cook Strait swims, swimmers are allowed to exit the water for ten minutes in the event of a shark encounter.
- Increased-coverage swimsuits (e.g., rash guards and stinger suits) are allowed in Rottnest Channel swims.
Concern trolls sometimes use these variations in an attempt to undermine marathon swimming, or to promote an "anything goes" policy. There may not be any universal set of marathon swimming rules (and I don't think it makes sense to have one), but there is absolutely a universal spirit, going back to Captain Webb: to swim without artificial assistance.
Technology being what it is, new apparel and devices are always being developed, which are intended to make the act of swimming easier, but which do not specifically violate the rules.
How should we deal with these developments? How to decide whether an item violates the "spirit," or not?
With these questions in mind, the SBCSA (specifically, Scott Zornig and I) present a community opinion survey on rules in marathon swimming:
[Link expired]
(The survey benefited from feedback from Donal Buckley and Rob Dumouchel - thanks guys.)
The spirit of marathon swimming is defined by the "spirit" (and opinions) of marathon swimmers. But to my knowledge, there has never been any systematic study of what marathon swimmers actually think about these issues.
So that's the motivation behind the survey. Anyone (marathon swimmer or otherwise) is invited to take it, by the way.
In closing, I'd like to quote a Michael Oram email from the Channel Swimmers chat group, which to my mind at least, eloquently captures the "spirit" of the sport:
It has always amazed me how athletes spend such a lot of time trying to stretch the rules and find aids. Channel swimming is a personal competition between the swimmer and the elements. Looking for that extra edge all the time is a negative approach as instead of working within the established parameters you are grasping at straws to get a little more assistance, or confidence.
Once you have started it's you against the elements; whatever hat you are - or are not wearing.

Buzzer Beaters: How to Pick an NCAA Bracket, the Real 'Natural' Killer Dies and More
Today's top sports stories:
Among the various techniques for making choices for your NCAA Tournament office pool, some aren't very helpful—which mascot would win in a fight, which team has cooler uniforms, etc.—while one, in particular, is very useful: go with what Las Vegas says. [Las Vegas Sun]
If you need a printable NCAA bracket, here's one. [GuySpeed]
Ever heard of Ruth Ann Steinhagen? Maybe not, but you probably know who she is, at least if you've ever seen or read 'The Natural.' In 1949 Steinhagen lured Chicago Cubs first baseman Eddie Waitkus to a hotel room, then shot him, which later inspired author Bernard Malamud to write a novel with that very same event. Robert Redford went on to play the ballplayer, called Roy Hobbs, in the 1984 film adaptation that is much beloved by baseball fans. [S.I.]
Wondering just how in the world the Netherlands made it this far in the World Baseball Classic? The answer likely starts with former Atlanta Braves center-fielder Andruw Jones. [ESPN]
Trying to steal the ball is just good defense in basketball—unless, of course, you're not actually a player in that game but rather the coach of the team without the ball. Then you're not allowed to steal the ball. Bad coach! [Deadspin]

WALTHAM, Mass. – In a game that featured 13 lead changes and three ties, the 22nd-ranked Babson College women's basketball team rallied past host Brandeis University tonight, 53-52, in a non-conference match-up in Red Auerbach Arena. The Beavers improved to 3-0 on the season, while the Judges fell to 2-1.
Babson rookie guard Briana Hunt (Auburndale, Mass./Newton North) scored half of her team-high 12 points in the final 10 minutes, including what proved to be the game-winning bucket with 36 seconds left. The Beavers also got a double-double from senior center Sarah Collins (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth), who had 11 points and 17 rebounds. Collins also had three blocked shots.
Brandeis sophomore guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) nearly added her second career double-double, as she matched Hunt with 12 points, while leading the Judges with nine boards. Cain also had a game-high four assists. Junior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) added eight points and four steals – tying a career-high - for the Judges.
The game was tight throughout, with neither team taking a lead larger than six points. The largest margin of the first half was 18-13, Brandeis, after a jumper by junior Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./Peabody Veterans) with 6:25 remaining. The Judges were still ahead by four at 20-16 with 3:56 left in the first stanza when Hunt hit a 3-pointer to trigger an 8-2 run to close the half. A fast-break jumper by Brandeis rookie Niki Laskaris (Swampscott, Mass./Swampscott) at the 1:54 mark was offset by Babson sophomore Erin Young (Westwood, Mass./Westwood) connecting from deep with 51 seconds left to give the visitors a 24-22 lead at the break. Cain led all players with six first-half points, as nine different Brandeis players contributed their 10 field goals in the first 20 minutes. Collins and senior Allanah Wynn (Quincy, Mass./Milton Acad.) had five each for Babson.
Babson continued its run into the second half, opening with seven of the first 10 points to take a 31-25 lead less than three minutes in. A Wynn traditional three-point play at the 15:34 mark made it a 34-29 Babson lead, but Brandeis answered as sophomore Mikaela Garvin (Providence, R.I./Hope) hit an and-one play of her own. Senior forward Erika Higginbottom (Millbury, Mass./Worcester Acad.) followed with an offensive rebound to tie the game at 34-all.
Babson pushed the lead back to six with a Young 3-pointer and a free throw and lay-up by Alicia Wilde (Franklin, Mass./Franklin) that made it 40-34 in favor of the visitors with 12:41 on the clock. Brandeis quickly erased that deficit, however, as Garvin and Laskaris hit back-to-back 3-pointers, the Judges' only two of the game. The hosts added the next two buckets as well, with senior Courtney Ness (Norwich, Vt./Hanover, N.H.) and Laskaris scoring to make it a 44-40 lead for Brandeis with 9:32 left.
The next five minutes for the Judges were frustrating, as they came up empty on seven straight possessions, despite holding Babson off the board as well. The Beavers finally broke through from the free-throw line, as Collins and Hunt hit three-of-four to get the deficit back to one. A Collins put-back with 4:31 left put the visitors back on top, 45-44, with 4:31 to go.
The lead changed hands four more times in the final stretch, with Dean's 18-foot jumper from the right side with 46.9 seconds remaining putting the Judges ahead, 50-49. After a Babson timeout with 37.9 seconds on the clock, the Beavers played for a two-for-one possession, with Hunt slashing to the basket to hit with 35.5 to make it a 51-50 lead.
After Brandeis missed its first chance to go ahead and Collins grabbed the rebound, the Judges did have two more chances when Babson could only hit on 1-of-2 on each of their next two trips to the line. Unfortunately, the Judges were called for a turnover with 11 seconds left and could only muster a two-point bucket just before time expired, making for the 53-52 final.
Brandeis returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 25 at Tufts University. Babson is at Salem State at the same time.

James Goodwin made his daytime debut on Guiding Light in 1986, playing long-lost Bauer cousin Johnny. Johnny had been unwittingly involved in a drug smuggling ring in Europe (as you may have guessed, there was a beautiful woman involved) and when Alan Spaulding learned Johnny's secret, he thought it would only be fair to have Johnny do a little smuggling for him. (Alan is very big on hiring people with experience.) Eventually, Johnny became engaged to Roxie Shayne. When Johnny faced dying from cancer, however, Roxie suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to Switzerland for treatment. Johnny next became engaged to Chelsea Reardon. The two faced down a crazed stalker, but when Roxie showed sign of recovery, Johnny returned to his earlier love and left town.
In 1991, Goodwin resurfaced on another PGP soap, Another World. There, he played Kevin Anderson, a DA with a mysterious connection to Jake McKinnon.
Kevin went off to jail two years later, and the actor who brought him to life went on with his career. Today, the PGP Classic Soaps Blog finds out: Where is James Goodwin now?
PGP: Do you remember your audition for Another World? Whom did you audition with? How was the character described to you? Did you know, going in, that Kevin would turn out to be Jake's brother, and did that color your performance?
JG: Actually, I never auditioned for Another World. I had been off of Guiding Light for about six months and I received a call from my agent stating that a former writer from Guiding Light, Melissa Salmons I believe, was curious to know if I would be interested in playing the part of the assistant D.A in an upcoming trial. I was told it would be short term for about six months, but could turn into something more. Well, it turned into something more once I said I was interested, and they signed me to a two year contract with no specifics as to the direction of the character. However, when I would have scenes with Tom Eplin they would tell me: There is some bad blood here, but we can't tell you what it is about. So yes, there was some color, but it was totally fabricated on my part, until it came out that I was his father's bastard son.
What was interesting is that I was working with Judi Evans (Paulina), who had been my screen test partner at Guiding Light, but left the show before Johnny Bauer showed up in Springfield. Let me tell you, that girl knew how to screen-test the new talent. I am blushing just thinking about it.
PGP: What is your favorite storyline or scene from your time in Bay City? Do you keep in touch with any of your former co-stars?
JG: There were a series of scenes that took place between Lorna and Kevin when their relationship was just beginning, that is the most memorable. They went for a weekend in the country and were breaking down each other's emotional barriers, which ended in a great montage of scenes beginning in an old fashioned copper bath tub to…need I say more. It was beautifully directed and really solidified the two as a romantic couple on the show.
I have not kept up with anyone from the Bay City area, but am always happy to see when Alicia Coppola (Lorna) has a new project. She is on the verge of greatness, I am sure. It was always a pleasure to work with Alicia and Linda Dano (Felicia). They could pick up a script that morning and give an Emmy award winning performance in a matter of hours. What a gift.
PGP: Since Kevin was the DA, you often had a lot of legalese and speeches to wade through. What's harder to get through, that sort of technical dialogue, or a virtually wordless love scene?
JG: I have always been a hopeless romantic, so I would say the love scenes were a no-brainer for me. And most of the lawyers I have met out in the real world were actually frustrated thespians, so I have to say those weren't so bad either.
PGP: Prior to AW, you were Johnny Bauer on Guiding Light. What was your first soap experience like? How did you get used to memorizing all of that dialogue?
JG: I was very fortunate to have been able to come to New York City with a job right out of grad school. I had a "League" audition at Julliard School with grads from ten other M.F.A. programs across the country. After the audition, I returned back to Dallas, but Betty Rea (casting director extraordinaire) had contacted an agent I was considering for representation to see if I would be willing to audition for Guiding Light. I had no funds to be flying back and forth for "go-see" auditions. The agent called and said they would fly me in to screen test. They didn't have a role in mind, but would send some sides for the current character "Simon." I flew in the day before, stayed at the Plaza Hotel, took the subway (wrong direction at first, heck I grew up on a farm -- what did I know?) to the studio. I filmed the screen test with Judi Evans (then-Beth) which was capped off by a kiss. No one was saying "cut" so I proceeded to remove her top. Then they yelled cut. I walked out not sure how things went, but called in to my agent an hour later at the corner of 80th and 8th Avenue and was told I had a part. It wasn't written yet, but I had "a" part. I yelled at the top of my lungs. But, of course this being New York City, no one paid the least bit of attention. A few weeks later I was told the character's name was Johnny Bauer, and the rest is history. Memorizing dialogue was never a huge issue for me. But you do get even better over time
PGP: Johnny's most memorable story was about his battle with cancer. First, he considered committing suicide. How, as an actor, did you get into Johnny's frame of mind for those scenes?
JG: One of the producer's at the time, Kathy Chambers, was a cancer survivor and we had a lot of heart to heart talks. I also read Elisabeth Kubler Ross's On Death and Dying. This book dealt with the five stages of grief once you have been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. I think Johnny's suicide attempt is what finally made him accept the fact that he was dying and at that point I believe he "let go and let God."
PGP: Afterwards, Johnny decided to use holistic medicine. Did you do much research on the subject? Do you feel like that story, which also included the healing power of community prayer, was ahead of its time?
JG: I had a terrific movement instructor in graduate school by the name of Jim Hancock, who had the gift of healing people with his hands. I don't mean in a "miracle" type scenario, but he helped people let go of the emotional pain that was held within their bodies, which I believe can lead to ailments. So I knew a lot about the mindset behind where they were taking the story. I was also aware of people being healed by eating macrobiotic diets. I knew there was some validity to this. I was also caught up to some degree in the spiritual movement at the time. It was my belief then and it is my belief now that one needs to be open to all avenues available to them, medical or holistic. I understood the story they were trying to tell, but I didn't want people to think that this was the one and only way to healing. I felt we needed to be responsible to our audience and make sure they were using all avenues to heal themselves. I was grateful however that they went in this direction as I was told later they had originally planned to let Johnny die!
PGP: Where do you think "Johnny" and "Kevin" are now? More importantly, how would you answer the question: Where is James Goodwin now?
JG: Well, I believe Kevin is probably out of prison for trying to kill Carl Hutchins and is a community advocate for the coal miners where his father worked.... Johnny helped Roxie recover and they are now living happily ever after with their three children in Oklahoma, Roxie's home state.... I am now living in Austin, TX with Michelle, my wife of 25 years, my sons Zane, a sophomore in genetic engineering at St. Edward's University, and Ben, a Junior in High School, and my two Welsh Pembroke Corgis, Oscar and Ellie. I now perform on a regular basis at the Zachary Scott Theatre (zachtheatre.org) and am currently performing in the World Premiere production of Steven Dietz's Shooting Star which runs until April 5. Although acting is my hobby now, it is what gives me true joy. I have been very fortunate to have found a home in a cutting edge theatre deep in the heart of Texas. I met a lot of terrific people during my years in daytime and am grateful for having had the experience.

Zynga first announced on Oct. 23 that it would "sunset" 13 games as part of a move to reduce costs and focus the company on better-performing games. Other moves included layoffs, studio closures and "significantly reducing our investment in 'The Ville'" – a recently launched social game that failed to live up to earlier hits in the franchise, such as "FarmVille" and "CityVille."
The company's shares picked up some small gains, trading up about 1.5% by Monday afternoon. But the stock remains mired in the $2-$3 range – well below its $10 IPO price from last December – as investors are waiting to see if the company can revive its game business.

Both sides rest in Lovette murder trial
Both the state and the defense rested their cases Friday in the murder trial of Laurence Alvin Lovette, who is charged with robbing and killing Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato in January 2008.
Following a day of testimony for the state, Assistant District Attorney Jim Dornfried announced prosecutors would present no further evidence.
With the jury outside the courtroom, Lovette's attorney, Karen Bethea-Shields, immediately made a motion to dismiss the charges of armed robbery and first-degree murder based on lack of evidence.
Superior Court Judge Jim Hardin denied the motion.
Hardin then asked Lovette to make sure it was his firm decision not to present evidence in his own defense and not to testify on his own behalf.
"That's correct, sir," Lovette answered.
Hardin called the jurors back in and told them to return Monday for closing arguments.
Prosecutors spent Friday trying to bolster the testimony of star witness Shanita Love. She testified earlier that she heard Lovette talking about robbing and killing Mahato on Anderson Street on Jan. 18, 2008, three months before he robbed and killed UNC-Chapel Hill's student body president, Eve Carson, in what Love called a "copycat" crime on March 5, 2008.
In both cases, prosecutors say Lovette slipped up on his victims, drove them to ATM machines where he withdrew money from their bank accounts, and then shot and killed them.
According to Love, Lovette and Demario Atwater killed Carson, but it was Atwater's younger brother, Philip Mabrey, who was with Lovette when Lovette shot and killed Mahato.
On Friday, Dornfried said prosecutors are considering whether to charge Mabrey, who was 14 or 15 at the time. Mabrey testified during the trial that he told an investigator he was with Lovette on the night Mahato was killed but that he was outside in the parking lot of the Anderson Apartments when he heard a gunshot. However, during his testimony, he repeatedly said he lied to the investigator because the investigator lied to him.
Dornfried said prosecutors will evaluate Love's testimony about Mabrey's involvement, but he pointed out that Love heard the information about Mabrey's involvement from Lovette.
"That would require Lovette's cooperation," Dornfried said. "I don't see that happening."
Case differences
In the Carson case, prosecutors relied on Love's testimony to tell what happened, but they also had physical evidence, including Carson's DNA found inside Lovette's vehicle and photographs of Lovette and Atwater at ATM machines withdrawing money from Carson's bank account.
In the Mahato case, investigators were unable to discover any eyewitness or forensic evidence, such as fingerprints, photographs, hair or DNA, that linked Lovette to Mahato's death.
Love testified she heard Lovette talking about various crimes he committed around the time of Mahato's slaying, including that he tried to rob a Hispanic man at the Colonial Apartments and shot the man in the leg as the man tried to run away. She also said she heard Lovette talking about breaking into a house and stealing a Mercedes.
Prosecutors called various investigators and police officers who testified that those crimes did occur around the time Mahato was killed. But they were unable to produce any evidence, such as fingerprints or DNA from the stolen Mercedes or from the shooting of the Hispanic man that linked Lovette to those crimes.
The stolen Mercedes was an important part of the state's case because security cameras at the bank where money was withdrawn from Mahato's account showed the top and front of a Mercedes. Because of the angle of the cameras, the people inside the Mercedes were not visible.
The shooting of the Hispanic man was important because a 9 mm shell casing from that crime scene matched a 9 mm shell casing found at the Mahato crime scene. A firearms expert testified that both shell casings came from the same gun, but investigators never found that gun.
Love also testified she saw Lovette and Mabrey splitting up the spoils, which included an iPod and a camcorder, from the Mahato homicide at the Mabrey home among other members of the Mabrey family.
Prior testimony
During Friday's testimony, Celisa Lehew, the lead investigator in the Carson murder for the Chapel Hill Police Department, testified about interviewing Love.
Prosecutors are hoping that jurors will believe what Love said about the Mahato case because the information she provided in the Carson case proved accurate.
After initially denying she knew anything about the Mahato case, Love eventually told Lehew that Durham police had arrested the wrong man in the Mahato case.
Durham police had charged a man named Stephen Oates with killing Mahato. Love told Lehew it was Lovette and Mabrey who killed Mahato and that Lovette laughed when he saw a television news report saying police had charged Oates.
Police dismissed the murder charge against Oates last year.

It wasn't. They'd had a busy day, with 2 guys out sick, and since my car wasn't urgent they put it at the bottom of the list and didn't get to it. To me this wasn't a big deal. It happens here, too.
But Mary decided to take a stand on my behalf, and told the guy that since this happened I shouldn't have to pay for the oil change. He agreed, and told her that if I bring it in again today they won't charge me for it.
Mary was so proud of herself. I didn't have the heart to tell her I bought the lifetime oil change for the car 12 years ago, and haven't paid for one since.

Widespread areas of new corn in Illinois show herbicide injury, reported University of Illinois weed scientist Aaron Hager. He said direct application of postemergence herbicides and persistence of herbicides applied last season likely caused the injury.
"Many postemergence corn herbicides routinely cause some corn injury," said Hager. "Some growers, however, have the impression that this year there is a bit more injury than usual."
Dry soil conditions in 2011 probably slowed the breakdown of soil-residual herbicides, especially those degraded by soil microorganisms, he added. "Dry soil conditions early in 2012 allowed for unusually early corn planting, which in some instances occurred before the end of the rotational interval of the herbicide used in 2011," Hager said.
Hager has heard several reports of corn injury possibly caused by fomesafen carryover. Veinal chlorosis or necrosis, which causes a striping effect on the leaves, is the most common of these symptoms. "In some instances, the leaf veins almost appear clear or transparent, but the root system of affected plants usually shows no symptoms unless the foliar symptoms are extremely severe," he explained.
Because of the fomesafen's soil persistence and corn's sensitivity to fomesafen residues, the labels of most products that contain it, including Flexstar, Flextar GT and Prefix, indicate a 10-month rotational interval for corn.
There are many other causes for herbicide injury in plants. Hager listes several possibilities:
Hybrids have varying sensitivity to herbicides labeled for use in corn. For example, some corn hybrids are sensitive to specific ALS-inhibiting herbicides and tend to exhibit considerable injury following herbicide application. Many corn herbicide labels (especially labels of postemergence corn herbicides) carry warnings that certain corn hybrids could be sensitive to the active ingredient.
Environmental conditions
High air temperatures and relative humidity levels favor rapid absorption of foliar-applied herbicides, but some environmental conditions can induce crop stress, slowing the rate at which the crops metabolize the herbicide and leading to increased herbicide-related injury. For example, cool air temperatures and wet soil can induce crop stress.
Spray additives
Crop response may be enhanced when spray additives are applied with a postemergence herbicide or tankmix combination because of the increased rate of herbicide absorption into the plant. Be sure to read all label suggestions and precautions related to spray additives that should be either included or avoided when applying herbicides postemergence.
Herbicide residues from prior applications may be applied inadvertently with the postemergence corn herbicide. These residues, either alone or in combination with the postemergence corn herbicide, may enhance the amount of corn injury. The type of contaminant and the dose at which it is applied affect the severity of the corn response to spray contamination.
Soil residues of herbicides applied during the previous growing season (carryover) appear to be another source of corn injury. Herbicide persistence in the soil, and the rate of chemical or microbial degradation, are influenced by many factors, including the specific chemistry of the herbicide and edaphic factors.
Soil pH
The soil pH is a critical factor affecting the persistence and degradation of many herbicides, including sulfonylurea and triazine herbicides, because it affects the rate of chemical degradation via hydrolysis. High soil pH (7.0 or more) may slow the dissipation of certain herbicides by reducing the hydrolysis rate. Even when soil moisture is adequate, triazine and sulfonylurea herbicides degrade more slowly in soils with high pH.
Soil moisture
Soil moisture also influences the efficacy and persistence of soil-residual herbicides. Populations and activity of soil microorganisms that are responsible for microbial degradation of herbicides are greatly reduced when soil moisture is limited. Moreover, more herbicide is adsorbed to soil colloids in dry soils, making it unavailable for plant uptake and degradation by soil microbial populations.

Week three of construction started today. Our crew is still demolishing the interiors, literally peeling back the onion-like layers of time to reveal the bones of the house. Our structural engineer Mark comes every so often to make sure the place is still standing. Today he told me that the wood was in excellent condition, first cut hardwood like you can no longer buy. Who ever built this did it the right way, he told me. Seems a bit unseemly, but I will admit that I beamed with pride. Like the mother of a newborn, projects feel like babies and no matter how ugly they may look, we love them.
I like to come stand in the barn-like space, gaping up two stories, ceiling and floor boards stripped away. It looks like a SoHo loft, or the Parisian atelier of a famous designer. Can't we keep it just like this? I think. And then I remember that there are not too many fashion designers looking for rental space in Woods Hole. OK, I will stick with the plan and transform it into the weekend getaway FOR fashion designers… Yes, yes, that is it.
The guys arrive at 7 am and they work with crowbars, sledgehammers, saws. Masks are a must as the plaster dust swirls in the ocean breeze from open windows and wheelbarrows of debris head toward a revolving dumpster. There is a majesty to the work, a pace respected to the minute. Breaks are observed, meals shared, and "Lady on deck" shouted when I come close. I secretly wonder what they are saying when I am not there, although they may not be able to hear each other much over the blasting radio and the thud of metal on horsehair plaster. Underneath is the lathe, thin boards that were used before drywall to adhere the plaster to. They are so beautiful, my heart aches as they are carted away.
Being in there now — views of the ocean everywhere you peek — feels like flying inside the bones of a huge feather-less bird. There is a lightness — an airy feeling with the windows open, the roof space soaring two stories above you — that creates the sensation of flying. Maybe it's just me, as the project flies along, feeling suspended in time, searching for my place in the process.
I pace the dusty boards — this will be the bedroom, here is where the new window goes, oh you can see the ocean from here! — scheming and referencing the floorplans when I get confused. I am desperate to make sure that when the dust settles, some of the majesty of the building itself, it's strong bones and lithe walls, will still be evident. Check back in to see future progress!

The Blueprint
Expert Overview
It's a must-have element that's fundamental to space planning. But where's the best place to get one? Home center? Designer? Do-it-yourself? Is one option better
than others?
Think about: Quality
Everything starts with an accurate blueprint. This includes exact details, not just basic wall measurements: every single inch, nook and bump-out. Starting with
accurate dimensions means no surprises along the way, and fewer delays and extra costs.
Think about: Appliances
The blueprint can help you determine how appliances will fit in your space. Know the sizes of the appliances you want and whether they'll fit. Cabinetry can be
customized to fit your space. Appliance dimensions cannot.
Think about: Reality
Even the best blueprint won't make miracles happen. A smaller kitchen might never accommodate larger appliances, an island or an extra sink. Based on your
measurements, plan wisely around your dimensions and overall work space.
Think about: Who creates the blueprint: kitchen designer or general contractor
A kitchen designer is a specialist in his or her chosen profession and will focus on the personal as well as esthetic details: how you live, your vision and what you
ultimately want from the end result. A general contractor will usually focus on the more technical details of the project: moving the load-bearing wall, how the overall
structure is affected, electrical and plumbing considerations.
An ideal solution is when a kitchen designer and general contractor work together as a team. Many general contractors have a kitchen and bath designer on staff,
or have a professional relationship with one (a few also design kitchens themselves). You can start with one or the other but ultimately it's best to have both involved in the
final outcome.
A decision like this is similar to choosing any other professional service. Get referrals and view completed projects. Most importantly, interview all potential
candidates and find your comfort level. During the process, you'll need to be able to communicate your likes and dislikes, and your team will need to listen and understand
your point of view, so it's important to feel comfortable with them.

Baguettes a la Bouabsa
Just wanted to share my results of using the Bouabsa baguette technique. 75% hydration dough with 21 hour cold bulk fermentation. I used King Arthur AP flour.
Just wanted to share my results of using the Bouabsa baguette technique. 75% hydration dough with 21 hour cold bulk fermentation. I used King Arthur AP flour.
Absolutely lovely. Nice scoring. I think that most folks have trouble getting the kind of bloom/grigne that you've achieved with high hydration. It is such an explosive oven spring on these breads.
For such a wonderful baguette, it is probably the easiest to prep. BTW, I think that the magical 21 hour cold retard is nothing more than what fits into Mr. Bouabsa's production schedule. I've let them sit in the refrigerator for hours longer than that with seemingly no degradation to quality. I also appreciate seeing others who enjoy a dark bake.
Higher hydration doughs seem to be a natural environment for inviting lame drag. I'm certain that you follow the "scoring rules" based on what I see in the photos, but a few generic thoughts:
Tip of blade only - I use a double edged razor blade on a holder that forces a curve in the blade and only let the tip of the blade come in contact with the surface of the dough. A lot of posters swear by a serrated tomato knife as well. And make sure that you don't use a blade that is dull. A double edged razor provides 4 tips that will last a while, and they aren't all that expensive to replace.
Correct angle and depth of score - no 90 degree cuts, nor cutting too deeply. The other poster so far, David Snyder, has a valuable video on the TFL website all about the philosophy and practical application of scoring baguettes. An angled cut will create the flap that you display, but too much depth of cut could act against the grigne's ability to open fully - seemingly counter intuitively.
A tighter final shaping/roll certainly helps with creating sufficient skin tension, difficult to do well with the higher hydrations.
Dipping the cutting tip of the blade into a drop of oil will help lubricate the blade for the cuts. I do one dip per baguette, just for the fun of it all ;-) .
Being a brute on the blade is not a desirable trait, nor is the timidity that many probably experience. Clear, precise, overlapping and somewhat swift movements are my recommendation. And for the many who approach scoring as a life altering, nerve-wracking event - we're not cutting the Hope Diamond here. It's only a baguette, for Pete's sake. If the first doesn't score well, then there's a second, fifth and eventually hundredth to try (with lots of tasty eating along the way). A key is to figure out which of the many things might have gone wrong and then apply a correction the next time. I can't even remember the number of bad cuts I made early on.
Sorry for the soap-box moment, but if the above doesn't apply to you, than maybe it will for someone else reading this thread.
As far as the double grigne on a cut, is it only with the Bouabsas that you see this? I've had a little of that too with this baguette, so I wonder if it is an inherent quality of this style.
Welcome to TFL, Michael G!
Did you hand mix and machine mix?
How did you find the flavor?
Welldone and happy baking
Beautiful baguettes indeed. Having had the Boubsa baguettes, i can assure you yours won't look out of place amongst the other baguettes in the bakery.
Alan, you got me at the "it's not the Hope Diamond" ;)) I must try the dipping in oil, that's totally new for me. What is a double-edged blade? And which way up do you hold your curved blade? I have a curved blade like you describe, and only recently found out that i've been using the blade the wrong way up it seems!!! That is, if the curved blade forms a sort of loosely shaped "C", I've always held it with the C facing the left. It appears the C should face the right. I don't know if I'm making any sense.
I've gotten grignes and all that, but my scoring is still wonky. Although i suppose if you only use the tip of the blade, it makes less of a difference which way you're holding the blade.
Hi ww,
The way I was taught was to hold the lame in the right hand with the baguettes on the right side of my body. The blade has the "C" curve to the right (like a backward "C"), tip of blade closest to me. But that neither makes it right nor the only way. As you will see...
I've seen the curved lame held both ways. Here are two instructional videos to review.
In the Ciril Hitz video he holds the lame with the "c" of the curve away from him, tip closest to his body, as I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QdzHuhJ-ls .
In this King Arthur video, you'll see Martin Philip use the lame the other way around, as you describe. But in the beginning of the video, you'll see Jeffrey Hammelman alongside Martin use the lame as I do, and with the left hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaLnzomvEF8 .
Also, of note is that Martin does not overlap the preceding cut by a third, rather much less. After watching the KA video I tried to use the lame the way that Martin demonstrates, just for comparison sake, but found that it didn't feel "right" to me.
A double edged blade is exactly what you see in both videos. It is the quite old, at this point in time, style of a shaving razor blade. In moving cross country I lost my real lame holder and opted for a jeri-rigged thin metal file to use as a lame holder. It does the same job. Please don't hold the blade directly in your hand. You'll lose the curve and will guarantee yourself a quick trip to the medicine cabinet.
I hope this helps,
Thanks for the reply and links. It's funny but i've never tried to cut my breads from the horizontal position (Philip Martin style). Have always cut them top to bottom (like the Ciril Hirtz video). I suppose when these bakers are faced with hundreds of baguettes about to be loaded, it might make sense to cut them standing by the side like Martin.
Re Hamelman, it was while searching for something in his Bread book that I noticed the blade was held curved to the left!! hmm...
well, I guess there's no right or wrong way! whatever works!

MINNEAPOLIS — Being baseball's next big thing comes with a number of perks. In Mike Trout's case, he got to pick between a Corvette and a truck as his prize for winning MVP honors in Tuesday's All-Star Game. Having bought his dad a truck just two weeks before, the 22-year-old Trout went with the flashier wheels.
Getting thrust the mantle of Derek Jeter's successor as the face of the game also comes with a huge burden, one the New York Yankees icon has been carrying with supreme class for the better part of his two-decade-long career.
It may be too early to know whether Trout has the mettle to handle such responsibility, although the early signs are encouraging. What has been clear for some time is Trout has the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways.
On Tuesday it was mostly with his bat, as Trout drove in two runs with extra-base hits to help power the American League to a 5-3 victory over the National League. Trout sent Jeter in from second with a triple as part of the AL's three-run rally off Adam Wainwright in a first inning capped by Miguel Cabrera's two-run homer.
Then, after the NL had tied the game in the fourth, Trout put his team back ahead with an RBI double in a two-run fifth, helping Jeter go out victorious in his final All-Star Game.
"I definitely think he's one of the best in the game, and that's probably going to come with the territory,'' Oakland Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson said of the increasing talk about Trout being Jeter's heir apparent. "When you do the kind of things that he does and Jeter does, the bar is definitely set higher for you.''
As with many players of his generation, Trout has often expressed his admiration for Jeter, whom he tried to emulate as a teenage shortstop in Millville, N.J., before switching to center field his senior year in high school.
"Growing up I was setting goals for myself that if I ever get the chance to play in the big leagues, that's how I want to play,'' Trout said. "And the way he carries himself on and off the field, how he respects the game, always hustling, it doesn't matter what the score is. If they are down 10 runs, he is always running the ball out. That's how I want to play.''
The AL collected its second All-Star Game win in a row – and the accompanying home-field advantage in the World Series – after dropping the previous three. That may come into play for Trout this year with his Los Angeles Angels surging into contention by winning 19 of their last 23 games before the break.
Trout, who turns 23 on Aug. 7, became just the fourth AL outfielder to get invited to three All-Star Games before reaching that age. Two of the other three are Hall of Famers – Mickey Mantle and Al Kaline – and the third one, Ken Griffey Jr., will be when he becomes eligible.
Trout's qualifications to take the torch from Jeter go way past his All-Star Game exploits, which now include three extra-base hits and a .571 batting average (4-for-7). He's generally acknowledged as the best player in baseball even by those who think of WAR as a military maneuver, not a gauge of a player's value.
The sabermetric crowd began making the case for Trout as far back as his rookie season of 2012, when his Wins Above Replacement figure of 10.9 was considerably higher than Cabrera's 7.3. Cabrera, coming off the majors' first Triple Crown since 1967, beat out Trout for the AL MVP award that season and the next one,
This year may prove a different story. Not only is Trout leading the league in on-base plus slugging percentage and WAR, but the Angels have the second-best record in baseball after back-to-back third-place finishes that surely cost him MVP votes.
Just as significantly for Trout's case as the face of the game, he has maintained his clean-cut All-American image amid intense scrutiny playing in the nation's second-largest media market in the Twitter and Facebook age.
Still, Jeter suggested that Trout be allowed to be his own person.
"I think let Mike be Mike,'' Jeter said. "I don't think people have to necessarily appoint someone to a particular position. If he continues to do the things that he's done, he has his head on right, he plays the game the right way, he plays hard. The challenge for him is going to be like the challenge for most people, to be consistent year in, year out.''
Trout has increased his OPS from .963 as a rookie to .988 last season to his current 1.005. His 22 homers and 73 RBI put him on pace for career highs in both categories, and he's batting .310.
None of which puts him above getting some ribbing from Jeter.
"He said he wanted me to play nine innings,'' Trout told news reporters, drawing laughs. "He said I'm 22 years old coming out of the game, it is the sixth inning, I should be playing nine. He's messing around with me. It's all fun. It's special for me.''
Part of what has set Jeter apart as a superstar has been his willingness to reach to out to young players, mostly of them likely awed by his presence, and make them feel comfortable around him.
The last couple of days, Jeter has been chatting with A's catcher Derek Norris, a first-time All-Star in his third season, about his bushy beard.
"He said he's so looking forward to being done playing so he can finally grow a beard. He said, 'I haven't been able to grow a beard in 20 years,''' Norris said, half delighted, half mystified. "It was just a pleasure to be able to spend that time and talk with him.''
A decade from now, young players may be saying the same thing about Trout.
