Wednesday August 6, 2003
I recently read that the definition of a BLOG (or web log) is to take and share some information and discuss it. Today, I chose to take a look at the new issue of Baseball America and share my thoughts on their Best Tools rankings of Twins players. I know I don't go into too much depth on stats and stuff like that, but I just like the raw information.
In the book Moneyball, Michael Lewis writes about how Billy Beane will draft based on statistics and on-base percentage and not on "tools." Billy Beane was a high school player with all the tools when he was drafted in the first round of the 1980 draft. He didn't have what it takes to be a major leaguer.
He struggled in the minor leagues and eventually made it to the big leagues and struggled even more there. When he was through with one of his contracts, instead of signing another minor league contract, he asked to be put into a front office position. A few years later, he was the A's General Manager, and is working with a new philosophy that, because of the book, is now the talk of baseball circles. A philosophy based on stats that he deems important to the organization.
By contrast now, the "old school" baseball scouts look for tools. How fast can the player run? How fast can a pitcher throw? It's all about project-ability. How good do they envision that player being in the big leagues? Baseball America in the past year has been debating back and forth as to which is better to project the future of a player, 'tools' or 'stats'?
Each year, Baseball America polls the managers of all of the major league teams on many of the "tools" of the game. Best hitter, Best Power Hitter. Best Baserunner, Fastest Baserunner. Best Fastball, Best Curveball, Best control. Best Infielder and Outfielder. Best Infield Arm and Outfield Arm. And many more.
I'm just going to look at where the Twins players rank (BA ranks the top 3 in different categories) and briefly discuss my thoughts on them. So here we go:
Hitting categories - No Twins hitters made the list. Surprise! Surprise, huh?
Baserunning categories - No Twins make the lists. Cristian Guzman has made the "Fastest Baserunner" top 3 list the last few years, but it's hard to argue with Ichiro, Carl Crawford or Rocco Baldelli!
Pitching categories -
Kenny Rogers ranks as having the #3 Best Pickoff Move, behind the Yankees Andy Pettite, and the Indians Brian Anderson. Pettite will always rank #1, so being on the list is still very good!
Defensive Categories - Now this is where the Twins showed up!
Best Defensive First Baseman - #1 - Doug Mientkiewicz (ahead of John Olerud and Scott Spiezio) - It's interesting that he is #1 again this year. It is really sad that offensive output does, in fact, play a role in the rankings of defensive categories. Mientkiewicz is again having a good offensive year, so his defense is more appreciated!
Best Defensive Second Baseman - #3 - Luis Rivas (behind Bret Boone and Mike Young) - Rivas has little range, despite his speed, but since the All-Star break, since he's been hitting better, and his defense has definitely improved too. Aside from Boone, I don't think anyone makes the pivot better on the double-play.
Best Defensive Third Baseman - #3 - Corey Koskie (behind Eric Chavez and Troy Glaus) - I think Koskie has turned into a great defensive third baseman (regardless of his 2 errors last night!). I think that Eric Chavez is the best defensive third baseman, but I would put Koskie ahead of Glaus. Glaus just has a better arm, and maybe that's what puts him ahead of Koskie.
Best Defensive Outfielder - #2 - Torii Hunter (behind Ichiro, ahead of Mike Cameron) - Despite his pitiful offensive year, Hunter remains the best CF in the AL (my opinion), and this poll shows that too. It's hard to compare a RF in Ichiro to a CF like Hunter and Cameron.
Best Outfield Arm - #3 - Torii Hunter (Behind Ichiro and Raul Mondesi) - Now that Mondesi is in the National League, Hunter would essentially be the #2, although, Jose Guillen is the #2 Outfield Arm in the NL, and he's now in the American League. Anyway, I think Torii Hunter has a rocket for an arm. So, I think he warrants this spot.
So, was anyone missed? I don't think so. In the past, Rick Reed and Brad Radke have appeared on the Best Control list. Two years ago, Joe Mays was the #3 Best Pitcher in the American League (remember when…???) But, clearly no pitchers deserve to be on any of the lists.
I should note here that I love Baseball America. I can see major league highlights on Baseball Tonight, SportsCenter, major magazines, the internet, but I am also interested in prospects, minor leaguers, the draft, and for that information, Baseball America is the best source!
Moving on to the Minor League portion of the Best Tools portion of the current issue of Baseball America. Managers from the minor league leagues rated the tools of the minor league players within their league.
AAA International League
This one should come as no surprise to any Twins fans. Justin Morneau was named the Best Power Prospect. Morneau spent about six weeks in the major leagues starting in June, and after getting off to a hot start, Ron Gardenhire suddenly stopped playing him, completely ruining his hitting! Finally, and mercifully, Morneau was sent down to AAA again. Since returning to Rochester, he is now 3-27 hitting (.111), thanks to the wonderful tutelage of Ron Gardenhire and Scott Ullger.
AA Eastern League
Jesse Crain was named as having the Best Fastball and being the Best Reliever. Again, Twins fans who pay attention to the minor leagues have see Crain move from single-A, to double-A, and is now continuing to pitch well, and dominating, in AAA. Last week, before the trade deadline, I wrote that the Twins should have traded Eddie Guardado to the Atlanta Braves for Wilson Betemit and a non-Adam Wainwright pitching prospect. Here's why I wrote that it makes sense for the Twins:
"What could the Twins do at closer for the rest of this year? One option is obviously LaTroy Hawkins. He's a far better pitcher now than when he lost his closer job to Guardado in 2001. But, I think the Twins should take a shot and call up Jesse Crain! I would love to have a guy come in to close games who throws 98! He's moved quickly up the Twins farm system and is continuing his dominance in AAA. It's time! I see this trade as the Twins saving some money, not losing much in their bullpen, and getting a couple of prospects as well. "
I wouldn't be shocked if the Twins give Crain a September call up!
A Florida State League
Joe Mauer was named the Best Batting Prospect and the Best Defensive Catcher. A pretty good foundation for a potential big-time star! Great hitter, great catcher! Mauer moved up to AA after the Florida St. League All-Star game and is hitting about .360 up there! The feature story of the Double-A section is on Joe Mauer moving up to that level and not missing a beat! His hitting was obvious, that was going to happen. Manager Stan Cliburn, a former major league catcher, is more impressed with his defensive skills and game calling and his leadership.
JD Durbin was credited as having the Best Fastball. After posting great numbers, he was called up to AA with Mauer and has continued his success there!
Jason Kubel was named as having the Best Outfield Arm. Kubel is another in the long line of good outfield prospects that Twins have throughout their farm system.
So, there is a brief summary of how the Twins fared in the Best Tools issue of Baseball America. I always find it interesting to see where Twins players rank.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on today's posting. Let me know if such topics are of interest to you. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Send me an e-mail!
Last night, I watched ESPN's Dan Patrick argue with Dallas Maverick's owner, Mark Cuban, about the comments the billionaire owner made regarding the Kobe Bryant situation. To paraphrase, Cuban basically said that the Bryant situation was good for the financial side of the NBA.
He is being bashed in the media for those comments, but I think part of the reason for that is because he is Mark Cuban. My opinion is that Cuban was right. Especially considering that he is stressing that he doesn't think what Bryant did was right at all, and from an image standpoint, it hurts. But, the NBA is now in the news every single day, even in the offseason. It's good for shoe companies finances, and it'll be good for the television networks that discuss the NBA. Having one of the biggest names of the league talked about every day throughout the off-season can only be good for the financial well-being of the league.
I totally understand that Commissioner David Stern had to react as he did. What Bryant is accused of doing is very wrong, and it would be wrong for an owner to suggest at all that it is OK. However, that is not what Cuban is doing. He's not advocating that type of action in the least.
I think that this story has been blown far out of proportion, and it's something the media really shouldn't waste its time on!
Terry Porter is expected to be named the new coach of the Milwaukee Bucks today, replacing the recently released George Karl. I think this is a great hiring. Porter has had just one year of time as an assistant coach following a great career. But, Porter was always known as being such a great leader on the court, that I think becoming an NBA head coach was just in his future. And, that future apparently will begin today!
Also, don't forget the Question of the Week! I'd love to get even more responses to the following questions, so please e-mail me your thoughts before Thursday!
1.) If you could go back in time and have a conversation with any former major league player, who is now deceased, who would you most want to talk to, and what questions would you ask?
2.) If you could talk to one former big leaguer, who is still alive, who would you talk to, and what would you most want to know?
3.) If you could talk to one current major league ball player, who would it be, and what would you ask?
I think these are really interesting questions. I have received some great responses on these questions, and I'd love to get more.
So again, here are the "rules":
1.) Think through the above questions.
2.) Send me an e-mail with your thoughts.
3.) That's it! It's that simple. You can then just keep checking back to this site for an upcoming article where I will use some of the responses I get.
Have a great Wednesday!

States have zero excuse to fail to comply with a 2006 federal law that requires them to join a nationwide program to track sex offenders.
Nearly three dozen states — including five that have given up tracking sex offenders altogether — have failed to comply with the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.
The act was supposed to create a uniform system for registering and tracking sex offenders.
If a person is convicted in one state of a sex crime, they are required to register as a sex offender wherever they move.
Many states apparently are concerned the act does not work and costs too much.
If the states don't comply, the feds will cut off millions of dollars in government grants for law enforcement.
But, some states feel the cost of complying is not worth the federal grant money.
Times are tough and money is tight. States are not immune to a poor economy.
But one of the basic jobs of a government is to provide for the public safety.
Tweaks may need to be made, but states can't opt out.
One way to cut costs may be to create uniform standards of what qualifies as a sex crime.
There are degrees of sex crimes.
In some states, a person who urinates in public is considered a sex offender in the same way as a person convicted of rape.
Standardizing each state's sex offender registry might cut costs and place the emphasis on those who really belong under our microscope for the rest of their lives.
To allow sex offenders to live in our communities without registering properly, however, is not an option.

Are Hip Hop Reality Shows The New Rap Record Labels?
Words by Tony Grands
Sometimes, I let my wife handle the remote control. (No innuendo.) So last night, I was forced I watched T.I. (The Family Hustle) & Jim Jones (Chrissy & Mr. Jones) on VH1 with her. Continue reading →
A Memo To The Industry
The Inter(connected) Net(work) of information became my best friend about 2 years ago. I was doing too much real world bullshit before that to be concerned with looking at screens & pressing buttons. I needed flesh & blood & stankin' ass breath & facial expressions, all the things that summarize the human experience. & suddenly, I was hospitalized (more on that on April 1st), & my world, as I'd come to know it, has crippled & forever changed. So, those screens & buttons became my proverbial window to the world. Literally, I spent more time in 2008 in cyberspace than in the real world. It's so easy to get caught up & addicted to the virtual world that there should be some sort of disclaimer for those with self esteem problems & addictive behavioral disorders. It's like cigarettes with wires. But I digress.
Once I disconnected from the alternative universe of the 'net, I remembered that life is an experience. People, smells, flavors. Even with porn, which is very hands-on (pun intended), there's only so much interaction that can go on digitally. & this is where the music industry has follied. They've forgotten that real people still live on Planet Earth.
Back in the days, magazines had advertisements for new records. Grass roots campaign existed to get the word out. The financially dominant would even buy airtime & radio slots to promote their product(s). All these were attempts to get the living & breathing public to spend their money on something. People generally only tend to invest in something they can touch. Tangible reinforcement, if you will. Or at the least, something they can be made to feel a part of. Music today is not that item.
Wu-Tang Clan has a new project out, on Def Jam Records, & if it wasn't for the 'Net, I wouldn't have even known. This is the same label that pushed Rick Ross into our faces for months. The same label that introduced us to a young James Todd Smith. Surely Ghost, Rae & Method Man are a valuable enough commodity to garner some real world advertising, especially on the heels of the Old Man Rap movement. Plus, Raekwon owned 2009. That has to count for something, right?
Memo to the industry: everybody didn't swallow the red pill.
Twitter, Facebook & the ilk are good for those who live in the Matrix, but not everyone is tethered to some device that can stream local news & pornography simulataneously. Once record companies get their heads out of their asses, they won't be scrambling to find a way out of an imaginary sales recession. I realize technology is the way to go, but until it's the only way, put some signs on a Goddamned bus bench again. If you smell my cologne, that is.

In-app purchase hacker sets sights on Mac App Store
The exploit that allowed users to purchase digital goods inside iOS apps without actually paying has jumped platforms and now works on Apple's Mac platform.
The Next Web notes that programmer Alexei Borodin, who created the iOS in-app purchase exploit, now has a similar solution for apps purchased in Apple's Mac App Store. Like the exploit for iOS, this too requires that users install special security certificates on their machines, though it also requires the installation of an extra helper program.
Earlier today Apple said it had a fix coming in the next version of iOS, due out … Read more

>> 50 Years Ago — Last weekend more than 600 people crowded into the Niland Marina, Saturday night and Sunday morning, the parking and camping areas were full, and still more people were seen camping in the nearby desert area.
Into the Salton Sea at the Niland Marina went 200 to 300 boats. And large numbers of these boats came back with fish.
Last year at this time, we visited Niland Marina and found six house trailers, three boats, and about a dozen people.
>> 40 Years Ago — It was desalinated water. Not much of it, and it was brown with mud, a little oil and some rust, but it was water — the first produced at the Bureau of Reclamation's East Mesa Geothermal well east of Holtville.
The first processed water — no more than 500 gallons of it — was flowed through the Office of Saline Water's desalinization plant Sunday afternoon.
It was the first truly "productive" step toward full-scale water production from geothermal sources. But even then, at this well, the process is purely for testing. Perhaps a year of testing, officials say.
>> 30 Years Ago — "I wanted to go home…"
Annie Gutierrez was born in Brawley, and grew up in Westmorland. She was almost home when she got to El Centro Thursday.
A little older than she was when she was defending Imperial County residents accused of illegally keeping fighting chickens.
Nervous. Restless turquoise-ringed fingers touching her hair, her turquoise beads. Pulling at memories of events that "just happened" to:
-Put her in the Peace Corps when the Peace Corps were little more than an idea in President Jack Kennedy's brain.
-Put her at the heart of California's historic Agricultural Relations Board when the ALRB was just Annie.
>> 20 Years Ago — HOLTVILLE — The Holtville City Council passed a resolution Monday night in favor of the use of Mets Road as the main route for traffic from the Port of Entry to be built east of Calexico.
Councilwoman Linda Britschgi was the lone councilmember who voted against the resolution, favoring Orchard Road, which runs through the city.
The resolution states the use of Mets Road, about a half mile west of the city, would be the most direct route north from the port, would not negatively affect established residential areas and would cost the least.

Businessweek shares that Facebook is now going to use the data it has about your likes and dislikes to show you ads outside of Facebook. This is the first real confirmation that the company is going to roll out an advertising network that extends beyond just its own walled garden, and it could turn out to be one of the biggest factors in the success or failure of Facebook's revenue-growth strategy.
Sponsored stories are one way of trying to solve that problem. An external advertising network—one that uses information about users and their activity on Facebook as a way of targeting external ads on other websites—is another way.

Work detailsThe Entertainer by Margaret Talbot (2012)
None None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Excellent treatment of entertainment and film through an entertainer who was there. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Affectionate biography by Margaret Talbot of her father, actor Lyle Talbot. Nicely written, and contains more than just the facts of Talbot's life. In addition to the story of Lyle Talbot, this is also a story of America during the 20th century.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Margaret Talbot has written not only a lively biography of her father the actor Lyle Talbot,but also a breezy and entertaining history of American theater, movies and television during the 20th century. This book should be on the must-read list of anyone interested in the evolution of American entertainment. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The Entertainer by The New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot is a biography of her father, actor Lyle Talbot. Talbot is perhaps best known for his work in early 1930's films for Warner Brothers or his role as the neighbor on the 1950s sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. While Talbot never really achieved stardom, he did have quite a prolific career (take a lengthy scroll through his IMDb credits to verify this) in a variety of mediums. In detailing her father's life and career, Margaret Talbot's book sways between a look at one man and an overview of the entertainment industry as a whole throughout the twentieth century. Her focus progresses from carnivals to traveling theater groups to early Hollywood 'talkies' to Saturday matinee serials to television. We also visit the habits of traveling salesmen, the evolution of celebrity fan clubs, and the rise of mid-century suburban life, among other topics. While the sheer amount of material covered could make for a scattered and rambling study, The Entertainer progresses quite naturally from start to finish. Much of this is due to Margaret Talbot's writing style, which is conversational and interesting throughout. One would imagine that a book about a little-known actor with a career filled with bit parts would appeal to a small audience. But the end product is something that rises above your standard filmography to an entertaining survey of pop-cultural history that could be enjoyed by any number of tastes. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. As a old movie fan, I looked forward to learning more about Lyle Talbot, whose life nearly spanned the 20th century (1902--1996). He was an actor who I'd think, "I've heard that name somewhere before, but can't place the face." Looking at Wikipedia (and what a handsome face it was!), Talbot's filmography is long and varied. The Entertainer could have used a filmography in the end papers to help the reader better place the actor in time and memory. Talbot's daughter Margaret writes a nontraditional biography of her father, placing him in context with what was happening in history, society, culture at various times in his life. Talbot grew up in Nebraska, and his first venture into entertainment was as a hypnotist's assistant in a side show. He later ended up in Hollywood, appearing in silent films and talkies. Left Hollywood for Broadway, then returned to California and encountered difficulty finding work after WWII. But Talbot worked hard, and didn't care what parts he played as long as he worked. Then came serials (Batman) and Ed Wood films (Plan 9 from Outer Space). He found steady work on television in the 1950s and 60s as a regular on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and guest starred on many other shows. The title The Entertainer is appropriate for the long and varied career of the author's father. I kind of dozed off at times while reading because Margaret Talbot thoroughly researched history and culture and many times overdid the background material when just a little would have sufficed. The most interesting part of the book was the last chapter in which M. Talbot describes her family's home life and her relationship with her father.(less) no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone No descriptions found. Using the life and career of her father, writer Margaret Talbot tells the story of the rise of popular culture through a personal lens. The arc of Lyle Talbot's career is in fact the story of American entertainment. Born in 1902, Lyle left small-town Nebraska in 1918 to join a traveling carnival. From there he became a magician's assistant, an actor in a traveling theater troupe, a romantic lead in early talkies, then an actor in major Warner Bros. pictures, then an actor in cult B movies, and finally a part of the advent of television, with regular roles on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It to Beaver. In her impeccably researched narrative--a combination of Hollywood history, social history, and family memoir--Margaret Talbot conjures warmth and nostalgia for those earlier eras of '10s and '20s small-town America, '30s and '40s Hollywood.--From publisher description.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Making Strides with Dystonia
West Virginia teen Amanda Bell underwent deep brain stimulation surgery at Allegheny General Hospital with hopes of controlling the symptoms of dystoniaâa disorder in which the brain sends impulses to muscles that make them contract painfully and intensely. It's affected her gait, ability to hold and maneuver objects and even her speech. Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Donald Whiting explains the procedure and how it's already helping Amanda to stand and walk straighter, with hope for continued improvements as electrical impulses to her brain are adjusted in the coming months.

Part 7: Beautiful Godly woman – hospitality
In the last post on this subject (Part 6), I spoke about mirroring the sacraments in our daily living, beginning with baptism, and how it related to cleaning and purifying (as described in Chapter 2 of Genevieve Kineke's book, The Authentic Catholic Woman). Through an understanding of the sacraments, we can apply their principles to our living, keeping us closer to God. This develops our inner beauty, slowly but surely. I had mentioned how difficult a time I had linking cleaning the house to the sacrament of baptism (with the principles of cleansing, purifying and dying to self to rise with Christ), and I realized I needed to stop thinking about my dislike for the job and rather, think about the benefits a clean and orderly house has on my family and their daily living.
The value of hospitality
Cleaning and purifying paves the way for hospitality, the art of welcoming someone into your home and your life, and offering them service through your love. After all, a dirty and disorderly house is hardly welcoming! Hospitality in ancient times for people in the Middle East was not only a nicety, it was a necessity. There were no stores or restaurants along the long, hot paths, no places to drink or to eat, and very few homes along the way. People in that time knew that offering hospitality to a traveler was necessary for that traveler's life. Hospitality was live-giving.
While hospitality today may not be necessary for physical sustenance, it offers vital emotional sustenance. As Kineke points out, hospitality "provides an essential forum of love and comfort to all" in every phase of life (page 18, The Authentic Catholic Woman). In most cases, we provide food, shelter and comfort, but in some cases it can be literally a matter of life and death. This was the case with St. Gianna Beretta Molla who "welcomed" a child into her womb and bore the child despite the fact that it cost her her life. Her daughter attended St. Gianna's beatification, thanking her mother for the gift of life, once by allowing conception, and then again by allowing her to be born.
Mary as the example
Mary displayed hospitality by allowing the same – she welcomed God incarnate into her womb where she bore Jesus Christ and then took care of Him, offering vital physical and emotional sustenance. In taking in Jesus, she was able to gaze upon the face of God daily, hold Him in her arms, caress and kiss him, feed and bathe Him. Remembering how the face of Moses glowed after he would speak with God (see Exodus 33), imagine how Mary's whole life must have glowed!
All about the love
Hospitality is a gift of love. I recall my husband's grandmother, "Noni", as the model of hospitality in my life. It took me years to understand why her gift was so special because I needed to look outside of myself to see it. Noni's welcoming of people and providing food and comfort were not merely duties or chores, they were acts of love, acts as natural as breathing. I recall the time my brother-in-law got married – people were coming and going all weekend long and yet there was always the same welcome, the same offer of food and conversation. Suddenly my eyes were opened and I saw a gift I longed to have. Hospitality does not come naturally to me but I work at it now, always keeping my Noni in mind as my example. She lived in a sacramental manner.
Providing a safe haven
Hospitality not only offers care and comfort, but a safe haven. This part at least I did understand and I made it a priority from the first day my children came into the world that our home would be just that. In this safe haven they were to be respected as people with their own ideas, even from the youngest age. They would be listened to. God has blessed this effort tremendously in that we have excellent relationships with our two 20-something children who happily share their lives with us and know to come home when they need a safe haven.
It's all about being engaged
As a natural loner, I prefer not to engage with people. Jesus, however, is calling me to engage all the time and to be welcoming at a moment's notice. It can be as simple as offering a smile and a greeting. Perhaps it's taking care of others on the job with a pleasant and willing attitude, even if people seem unreasonably demanding. Maybe it's putting aside the desire to go out after work to a desired activity so I can be home to offer dinner and companionship to my husband.
Hospitality is not about the chores and duties, it's all about the love. When hospitality is lived in the spirit of baptism, it becomes sacramental, and special.

Born Michael Jones on Oct. 15, 1957 in the mining town of Broxburn, West Lothain, Scotland, he was, like most other children in the village, the son of a slate miner. The young Scot grew up on a steady diet of Americana, thanks to his insatiable consumption of U.S. television and film, earning passes to watch movies at Broxburn's only cinema house by delivering ad posters to local shops. As a boy, Jones attended St. Mary's Academy in nearby Bathgate, but at the age of 17, determined to escape the confines of his small town, he left for London to pursue a writing career. By the late-1970s he had been working semi-regularly as a theater stagehand in London's West End for a number of years when an opportunity to work on a hastily-produced B-movie called "The Last American Horror Film" (1982) prompted him to attempt filmmaking as a career. Bolstered by this epiphany, Jones soon enrolled at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, Bucks, U.K., where he attended night classes while continuing to work as a stagehand to cover tuition costs. At about this same time, Jones married Beverly Caton, whose surname he adopted in hyphenated form (she would do the same), which the newly-dubbed Caton-Jones retained for the remainder of his career, even after the breakup of their marriage nearly 20 years later.
During his time at the film school, Caton-Jones directed his first student project, titled "Liebe Mutter," which went on to win Best Film at that year's European Film Student Awards. His second feature "The Riveter," was quickly optioned by the BBC and caught the eye of future Columbia Pictures chief David Puttnam, who took the budding filmmaker under his wing. An offer to direct for television followed and after two years of training, Caton-Jones chose to leave film school in order to make his professional debut directing the three-part Scottish drama "Brond" (Channel 4, 1987), which he followed with a 1988 installment titled "Lucky Sunil" for the prestigious British film series "Screen Two" (BBC, 1985-2002). Based on Britain's infamous Profumo political kerfuffle from the 1960s, "Scandal" (1989), starring Joanne Whalley, marked Caton-Jones' impressive feature film debut. Nominated for a Golden Globe for "Scandal," he was brought onboard his first Hollywood production by his mentor, Puttnam, who was a producer at Warner Bros. at the time. "Memphis Belle" (1990) boasted a young ensemble cast that included such fresh faces as Matthew Modine and Eric Stoltz in a fictionalized account of the titular B-17 bomber's final missions during World War II. Despite its cast of handsome young stars and Caton-Jones' impressive handling of the aerial battle sequences, the nostalgic adventure performed only moderately well with stateside audiences.
In a conscious effort to switch gears, Caton-Jones chose the lighthearted comedy "Doc Hollywood" (1991) as his next endeavor. A starring vehicle for Michael J. Fox, the film followed a callous young plastic surgeon as he finds love in a small Southern town on his way to Beverly Hills, and provided a modest hit for the ex-pat director. He next teamed with stars Robert De Niro, Ellen Barkin and a young Leonardo DiCaprio for the film adaptation of author Tobias Wolff's autobiographical novel "This Boy's Life" (1993). An emotionally affecting tale of a young teen's (DiCaprio) tumultuous years under the yolk of an abusive step-father (De Niro), it impressed the majority of critics, but failed to find a larger commercial audience. After turning down an offer to direct the next installment in the James Bond franchise, Caton-Jones tackled one of his home country's most legendary figures for the historical biopic "Rob Roy" (1995). Although the performances of Liam Neeson as the eponymous Highland rabble-rouser and Tim Roth as a villainous English nobleman met with considerable critical praise, it was largely overshadowed by Mel Gibson's similarly-themed "Braveheart" (1995), barely a month later. Caton-Jones' next effort, the assassination-thriller "The Jackal" (1997) starring Richard Gere and Bruce Willis, gave the director the financial hit he had been striving for, although the derivative actioner did little to elevate his stature as a filmmaker. Further tarnishing his reputation was the fact that Academy Award-winning director Fred Zinnemann successfully sued Universal Pictures to prevent them from using the name of the original 1973 film "The Day of the Jackal," based on the novel by Frederick Forsythe, who demanded his name be removed from the credits of a remake both men considered a travesty of the original material.
After keeping himself busy helming episodes of the short-lived Irish-American family drama "Trinity" (NBC, 1998) and marrying producer Laura Viederman in 2000, Canton-Jones reteamed with De Niro for "City by the Sea" (2002). Based on the true story of a police officer (De Niro) whose attempts to distance himself from his father's shameful past cause him to turn away from his own troubled son (James Franco), it went virtually unnoticed in theaters. Caton-Jones returned with a partially self-financed passion project, the harrowing Rwandan genocide drama "Beyond the Gates" (2005), starring John Hurt as a priest and Hugh Dancy as a schoolteacher caught up in the regional holocaust. Although proud of this accomplishment, which garnered praise internationally, Caton-Jones looked for a paycheck project for his next film in order to replenish his depleted finances. Ironically, that film would be the universally scorned sequel "Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction" (2006), which found star Sharon Stone reprising her role as the sensual sociopath Catherine Tramell from the original hit film. Budgeted like a summer blockbuster and having lingered in "development hell" for a number of years, upon release it became one of the biggest box-office bombs of the decade and earned Caton-Jones a Worst Director nomination from the annual Razzie Awards. Caton-Jones later returned to Euro-television to direct a pair of 2010 episodes of the long-running spy-drama "MI-5" (BBC, 2002- ) prior to helming the eight-part miniseries "World Without End" (Reelz, 2012- ), based on Ken Follett's historical novel about an English hamlet's travails during the time of the Black Death.

And u got themes working how? Please enlighten us all!!
Don't jailbreak iphone os3 or you will loose phone signal. This does not work and stable.
i have 3g iphone i pay a contract with movistar in spain can you put cydia on a phone under contract
To put cydia on an iPhone you need to jailbrake. It is up to you wether you want to do this but you can always restore your phone to remove all traces so Movistar need never find out.
how can i back to 2.21 i tryed but cant back 2.21.
somebody tell me.how to back 2.21 os PL!!!!
Put the phone in DFU mode and shift + click restore in itunes and pick the f/w 2.2.1, then let it install. Set up as new phone.
Make sure you use itunes 8.1 too
Stealth Im running 8.2.10 and I was able to downgrade no problem....
itune8.1 then dfu mode but 2.2.1 install error.what shall a do back to 2.2.1???
What error?
Lots are safe to just ignore.
I upgraded to 3.0B5, didn't like how much it crashed and moaned on my Touch 1G so I put it in DFU mode and used iTunes 8.2 shift+restore to return to 2.2.1, so I can say it can be done. You might not be putting it into proper DFU mode. In proper DFU mode, the screen is absolutely blank, sometimes even off. Just follow the same instructions in your head that QuickPwn gives for its process:
1. Hold HOME BUTTON for 5 secs
2. Hold HOME + POWER BUTTON for 10 secs
3. Release POWER BUTTON and hold HOME for up to 30 secs
Don't round off the times until step 3. You should have it connected to computer and iTunes the whole time. When iTunes picks up that the device is in DFU mode you can release HOME.
"If you upgrade to 3.0, it will change your baseband and yellowsnow unlock will be non-functional. Furthermore, as of now you will not be able to downgrade your baseband unless you are on a 5.08 bootloader and be stuck without a soft unlock."
This may sound stupid but does this mean that the only way to jailbreak 3.0 is using QuickPWN? I use QuickPWN so do I just ignore this part of the post?
Pretty much. That part is only if you're planning on running an unlocked iPhone or currently have an unlocked iPhone.
iPhone 2G 2.2.1 Unlocked to 3.0 GM Unlocked (But not activation)
Has there been a 'Hacked' QuickPwn for the GM release? I got everything working... except activation, I can make calls from the emergency screen and I can receive texts and calls, just no way to get into the home screen...
Guess I'll go back to 2.2.1
I don't think there is a jailbreak yet, due to Quickkpwn checking firmware versions you can't use this ipsw.
I even tried decompressing the .ipsw and editing the restore.plist file to change the identifier of the FW version to that of beta 5 - no dice!
Unless anyone here knows how Quickpwn checks the version number, or can find out - in which case the edits may be possible to jailbreak this - just an idea.
Using the beta5 ipsw is a bad idea as nobody knows which components will be mangled in with the GM stuff.
An idea though - if you have it jailbroken but not activated then you could possibly use ripDEV's pusher to install ssh (or I think you get about ten secs of ssh access at the apple logo bit), then I think you can edit some string somewhere to say its activated. But I may be wrong
^ You are
can someone give me an explanation on why iPod Touch 2gs can not be jailbroken on 3.0?
The same reason nothing can be jailbroken on 3.0GM
Apple have seen how all the betas have been jailbroken and 'fixed' it in the GM making it much more difficult. If GM is jailbroken then they could 'fix' it for the final release.
If you are talking about the Betas it's because the only people working on them have been working on the iPhone.
The Dev team won't do anything until the final is released so Apple can't block it for the majority of people that want to use it.
i think that is why there is so much confusion regarding the Gold Master and in thinking that it is a Beta release.The same reason nothing can be jailbroken on 3.0GM
Apple have seen how all the betas have been jailbroken and 'fixed' it in the GM making it much more difficult. If GM is jailbroken then they could 'fix' it for the final release.
If you are talking about the Betas it's because the only people working on them have been working on the iPhone.
The Dev team won't do anything until the final is released so Apple can't block it for the majority of people that want to use it.
The GM is the DeFacto standard release, however there are always little last minute tweaks that can be performed that wouldn't warrant it being beta.
It's better that they wait to Jailbreak instead of doing it right off of the cuff.
In fact I wonder if perhaps in the long term it would have been better for you Dev's to hold off on making your findings so public and sharing them with the world. It might have made life easier when the "Official" iTunes upgrade comes out.
Either way, I am certain that when the 17th comes around next week there will be a big huge banner on the front page on the 18th saying "F/W 3.0 Jailbroken!" And sure enough there are going to be hundreds of useless posts of people going:
"So will this work with with the regular 3G?"
"Do I need to upgrade to 8.2?"
"Is this just for the Beta, or the GM or the Official Release?"
"Can I have a link to the iPod Touch upgrade..."
and my personal favorite
"Will all my cracked applications work with 3.0?"
I remember when people actually read forums... Especially the front page...

£148m lotto winner would buy GnR reunion
Adrian Bayford had two dreams – and one of them just came true when he won an incredible £148m on the Euromillions lottery at the weekend.
And that puts the Englishman in a good place to try and make his other dream happen too: he'd love to get Guns n'Roses' classic lineup back together.
It's not very likely, of course, with several members of the band having repeated it'll never take place, and frontman Axl Rose's no-show at their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year.
But a man can keep dreaming, can't he?
Music shop co-owner Adrian, 41, wife Gillian and their two young kids were the only winners of the top weekend prize, making them the second-biggest lotto winners in UK history.
The Deep Purple and Iron Maiden supporter says: "I think I would just have to get Guns n'Roses together – the original lineup, mind. I'm a real fan."
But Adrian's keeping his feet on the ground. The couple's first purchases are going to be a new car and house… and Dominos pizza.
And he'll be back at work at Suffolk Music Centre in Haverhill this morning.
But even if his new-found wealth can't force Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler to reunite, it's enough to buy 233 private shows by the current lineup of the band. Russian billionaire Alexander Chistyakov last year paid $1m (£638,000) for such a performance.
Earlier this week ex-GnR guitarist Slash revealed he has a dream of his own: he'd love to appear on muppet TV show Sesame Street.

An Excerpt from One L
"A wonderful book...it should be read by anyone who has ever contemplated going to law school. Or anyone who has ever worried about being human." -The New York Times
It was a year of terrors and triumphs, of depressions and elations, of compulsive work, pitiless competition, and, finally, mass hysteria. It was Scott Turow's first year at the oldest, biggest, most esteemed center of legal education in the United States. Turow's experiences at Harvard Law School, where freshmen are dubbed One Ls, parallel those of first-year law students everywhere. His gripping account of this critical, formative year in the life of a lawyer is as suspenseful, said The New York Times, as "the most absorbing of thrillers." |

Despair Years after the Holocaust, as conflict rages in the Mideast, has Poland become safer for Jews than Israel?
By Richard S. Moline I never quite understood the significance my parents and grandparents placed on Pearl Harbor Day. Clearly, the attack on Pearl Harbor was horrific (no, I still haven't seen the movie) and most certainly led to America's full-scale involvement in World War II. And certainly, FDR's famous "a day that will live in infamy" speech was dramatic, but to me, frankly, it was history. This year, it's all come into focus. It's made me think about how this generation will communicate the horrors of 9/11 to our children and grandchildren. Will it be history for them just as Pearl Harbor was for me? And if it's not going to be another paragraph in a history book, what, exactly, do I want to communicate? This may seem like a non-sequitur, but give me some slack for a minute. For years there has been a program called the March of the Living. Some of you may have participated. The trip has brought young people to Poland for a tour of concentration camps and for a look at what happened to a flourishing Jewish community in Poland prior to the Holocaust. It has focused on the depth of that community and the tragedy of its destruction (another time, perhaps, we can discuss the Jewish community in Poland today). From Poland, the trip went to Israel to experience what literally arose from the ashes. To witness, as HaTikvah says, an "am hofshi ba'artzeinu," a free nation in our own land. Participants went from darkness to light, from the horror of the Shoah to an "or hadash" - - a new light – the State of Israel in the Land of Israel. This is our uniquely Jewish answer to despair (Jewish history is replete with similar responses to tragedy). I was saddened to learn that while the March of the Living is continuing this year, organizers have decided to cancel the Israel portion of the trip (although some local groups will be continuing on their own). It made me sad for two reasons. The first is that we're in a position to question travel to Israel at all (again, another discussion). The second is the message – and this will bring me back to September 11. The admirable message of previous March of the Living trips is precisely what I've indicated above; that in spite of the terrible hardships and blasphemy, we Jews have survived because we have a rich, powerful heritage. Judaism isn't a relic that dies under duress; it is an enduring and complex lifestyle, which provides hope when we're in despair, comfort when we're in distress and incredible joy to those who embrace it. What's the message this time around? Is it the incredibly stimulating challenge of Jewish learning? Is it the feverish dancing on Simhat Torah? Is it Shabbat dinner with family and friends? Is it the introspective nature of prayer and the creativity and vibrancy of the modern Jewish world? Or…. Is it the message that Poland is now safer for Jews than Israel? Is it that we now see a death and destruction that was, and we fear for it, once again? I dare say that one of the reasons we have survived is that while we may despair from time to time, we temper it and overcome it with hope, with faith and with the knowledge that Jewish history teaches us that time and time again, we have overcome, we have done more than simply survive and we have created civilized responses to tyranny. If March of the Living felt the need to cancel out on Israel, then they should have cancelled the whole trip. To do less, regardless of the follow-up they plan on doing elsewhere, is the wrong message - - one which can cause serious harm. Which brings me back to 9/11. While I hope future generations will look upon our Day of Infamy as vile, repulsive and tragic (insert a few of your own adjectives here), I don't want it to be solely a message of despair. We must continue to rise above that despair by continuing to perform acts of hesed (lovingkindness) and by continuing to develop our own civilized response to savagery. It's our job as free citizens. And it's our obligation as Jews. [Posted 4/12/02] |

What is the prognosis for kidney stones?Most kidney stones (more than 80%) pass on their own. However, the recurrence rate is high and half the patients can expect to pass another stone within 10 years. For that reason, it is best to find out the type of stone to minimize the risk of future recurrences. Capturing the stone is the first step to find out the type. The stone can then be analyzed in the laboratory. Based upon the type of stone, further metabolic testing may be helpful. In otherwise healthy patients, the major complication of a kidney stone is the potential for infection or the inability to control pain or nausea. Can kidney stones be prevented?By doing nothing more than keeping well hydrated and drinking adequate amounts of water, most kidney stones can be prevented. For those patients who develop kidney stones because of underlying medical conditions, the addition of diet modification or chronic medication may be helpful. It is also essential to hydrate to increase the amount of urine produced to prevent any beginning of a stone.

Shrinking Federal Funds for Meth Lab Cleanups Hitting Tennessee Hard
A major reduction in federal funds to clean up meth labs is having a negative impact in Tennessee, where methamphetamine use has been spiking. From 2007 to 2010, the state saw a 250 percent rise in meth lab incidents, busts and explosions, CBS News reports. Tommy Farmer of the Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force called meth an epidemic in the state.
According to the CBS report, meth is not difficult to make. The "shake and bake" method uses a soda bottle and meth's key ingredient, pseudoephedrine, which is found in many cold medicines. Once meth is made, it leaves behind a toxic mess that costs about $2,500 per meth lab to clean up.
Until this year, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) spent as much as $20 million annually to help states clean up meth labs. In 2011, however, the DEA budget for meth lab cleanups has been reduced to $8.3 million, and may be wiped out entirely next year, according to the report.
Since federal funds have been reduced, meth lab seizures have fallen by as much as 50 percent in Tennessee.

Inside Lacrosse January Issue: Jiloty — Addition By Subtraction
John Jiloty - 12/21/2011
Losing professional lacrosse teams is never a good thing. Obviously, you want teams to succeed in every market, at every level, under every ownership group. Giving fans a taste of pro lacrosse and then yanking that away after a season or two isn't the most welcoming introduction to our sport.
But one of the positive repercussions of contraction is that every team gets better. And when you have a team as good as the Boston Blazers, the de facto favorite heading into last season, being dispersed, every team gets a LOT better.
So as the NLL starts up its 26th season, all nine teams can accurately claim that they are better than last year. And the most dramatic improvement might be the most important.
The Philadelphia Wings are the NLL's oldest franchise, and for a while were, by far, its most successful. With packed crowds and consistent success in a marquee sports-mad city, the Wings were the model of the league through the 1990s. Philadelphia made the playoffs in 15 of the league's first 16 seasons, and won six titles between 1989 and 2001. Yet since 2002, when they lost in the NLL Quarterfinals, the Wings have made the playoffs just once, and put together back-to-back 5-11 seasons in 2010-11.
So, with Hall of Famer and former Wing Mike French taking over majority ownership this offseason, Philadelphia took advantage of all the means at its disposal to improve for 2012: trades and both the Expansion and Entry drafts.
Philly first traded Athan Iannucci, Brodie MacDonald, Alex Turner and first-round NLL Entry Draft picks in 2012, '13 and '14 for Brodie Merrill, Dean Hill, Mike McLellan and fourth-rounders in 2011 and '13. Then they took Dan Dawson No. 1 overall in the Blazers Dispersal Draft, and selected Stony Brook's Kevin Crowley No. 1 overall in the Entry Draft. With those three moves, the Wings acquired two of the game's best players and leaders, both in their primes and neither having yet won an NLL Champion's Cup, and a budding young Canadian talent in Crowley who, through his NCAA career, also has recognition in the American field lacrosse community.
When you consider how much Dawson and Merrill have won — individual awards and championships — it's amazing to think they still lack NLL Champion's Cup rings. Both have been unfortunate enough to play for shuttered franchises, with Dawson actually having gone 4-for-4 (Columbus, Arizona, Portland and Boston) in playing for NLL teams that no longer exist in his 10-year career. That said, he's taken three underdog teams to Champion's Cup finals, and few will question his leadership, team-first attitude and talent.
Merrill has won three MLL championships, and the 2006 World Championship with Team Canada and possesses a similar profile: a talented, selfless player and pretty much the prototypical teammate.
They're also two characters, as you'll see in Casey Vock's story. We tasked Dawson, Merrill and photographer Martin Allinson with having some fun with their mid-November photo shoot in Ontario, while also focusing on getting more standard, "safe" pics. I can honestly say I've never laughed so hard looking at the results of a photo shoot.
Those two idiots went out and got matching ugly sweaters, turtlenecks and corduroy pants for the shoot — no small task considering they're 6-4 and 6-5. (It should be noted that that was 100% their genius; IL cannot take any credit for the wardrobe selections.)
But in addition to that brilliant move, the creativity and attention to detail (awkward knees-together poses, staggering diversity in poses and looks, no hesitation to get up close and personal with each other) were simply stunning. Two gigantic dudes sliding down a slide while one tries to check the ball out of the other's stick? Amazing. And the look of annoyance on Dawson's face is priceless.
Regrettably, the pics were just too weird to go on the cover. We tried. We wanted to do it. Just couldn't make it work. So check out the story and be sure to go to InsideLacrosse.com for a more robust photo gallery of awesomeness.
Completely switching gears to a serious note, Terry Foy's story on concussions in lacrosse is a must-read for all players, parents and coaches. This is a tremendously important issue in the sport, and Terry's article sheds light on the scary symptoms experienced by stars like Tom Ryan, Jay Jalbert, Trevor Tierney and Merrick Thomson, whose careers have been cut short by concussions.
As manufacturers continue to focus on improving helmet safety to combat concussions, it's critically important that players and coaches be extra careful when there's even the slightest sign of a problem.
The only good news is that doctors consider lacrosse to be safer than football. The concern, however, is keeping lacrosse as safe as possible as it gets bigger, faster, stronger, and making sure it doesn't become viewed as a "dangerous" sport. The NFL and NHL have been vocal about the gravity of head injuries and trying to keep their players safe, drawing important attention to this issue that affects all sports.
So it's important that lacrosse follows their lead and makes sure its players and coaches are aware of the symptoms, referees keep an eye on checks to the head and manufacturers continue to work on safer helmets.
Let us know what you think at LacrosseForums.com.

There is an extremely short period of time to act in order to save Freshman sports at DHS. The Board of Ed agreed at this week's meeting to reinstate the program if the community funds it. If the program is lost I believe it will be extremely difficult to reinstate it in future years. We need everyone's help!
***There is a Facebook page dedicated to this cause: DHS-SOS which you can go to for information.
***There is a bank account now established at:
Savings Bank of Danbury
12 Hayestown Ave
Danbury, CT 06811
You can send a donation directly to the bank with the check made out to "Danbury Public Schools- SOS". In the memo please write "Freshman Sports Program".
***There is a secure website dedicated for donations: Donatetomyteam.com/26377 Just choose Danbury HS from the drop down menu. You will receive a restaurant or hotel discount if you donate this way but the company does keep $10 of every donation made through this site.
***A Pasta Dinner/Silent Auction will be held at Danbury HS on July 20th.
***We have donation letters appropriate to give to local businesses asking for their help.
All donations are risk free- if we do not raise the $70,000. needed, and sports are not reinstated, all monies will be promptly returned.
All of this has been set-up by just a handful of people. We NEED help. Please get involved- help spread the word, help with the Pasta Dinner, DONATE.
If you are part of an organization and can forward this email, please do so.
Thanks so much. Let's make this happen for the kids of our community.
