(2004) Jai Jawan
Apparently, no woman has ever visited the Siachen glacier.
Therefore, who better to break through the cold than Bollywood's own Ice Queen?
Aishwarya Rai braved alarmingly low temperatures to join the Indian soldiers, courtesy NDTV's award-winning Jai Jawan programme.
The iconic beauty rubbed shoulders with the courageous troops stationed at 13,000 feet, entertaining them in a memorable interaction.
Temperatures were freezing. Actually, although the mercury regularly dipped below -15 degrees Celsius, the star made up for it with her warm presence.
The Siachen Base Camp saw the actress dancing and dining with the starry-eyed jawans, sharing their experiences and letting them in on her secrets.
NDTV also achieved another first by connecting live to the jawans' homes through satellite, so they, and Aishwarya, could speak to the families directly.
This was the first time such televised communication has been achieved from such a tremendous height.
It was not easy. The insane temperatures kept freezing the satellite dishes, and the production staff had to keep heating the equipment with kerosene lamps to keep going!
Jai Jawan team leader Aarti Singh said, "I have never tried to shoot in such harsh conditions ever, but it was great fun!"
Of course, the show would not have been possible without the Indian Army's help, both in terms of logistical support as well as in terms of permission etc since civilians are not allowed here.
The Army helped in moving hundreds of kilograms of recording equipment in their trucks and even offered a helicopter to ferry Ash and part of the crew from Leh to the Base Camp.
With the atmosphere being thinner at such heights, making breathing difficult, some of the NDTV crew fell prey to the obvious perils of high-altitude stay, with motion sickness and nausea, and even spells of fainting.
On the other hand, even after skipping the acclimatisation process, Ash gamely maintained her composure throughout the shoot.
"I had always wondered how our soldiers live in this extreme weather, it is more difficult than you can ever imagine", she said.
The young jawans were thrilled to meet the star, and initially didn't believe their superiors when they were told of Ash's arrival.
A young soldier excitedly gushed, "We have seen her only on the screen or in a poster, it was unreal when she was sitting among us and talking to us like one of us!"
Like other stars on the show before her, Ash jived to her hit songs with the soldiers — Nimbooda nimbooda in this case — and sat with them on the mess hall floor for lunch. She distributed thousands of laddoos as well.
At the end of her memorable trip, Aishwarya was full of admiration for the armed forces, and said, "I simply salute their courage."
The Jai Jawan episode featuring her will be broadcast across the NDTV channels over the New Year weekend.

text: So last month I went to MerPalooza in Tampa, which I really should have posted about already and where, among many other things, I got to serve as one of the judges of the poolside mermaid pageant run by Stephanie Sims and hosted by Weeki Wachee mermaid Kylee Troche. Please do not be too jealous. A slew of charming merbabies (ok, one merbaby) and mer girls and full-grown mermaids walked or were pushed on office chairs or were carried by strapping men in front of our judge's table, many of them in dazzling tails they'd crafted themselves (unless they were in tails from the Mertailor, who had a massive display with mermaids lounging all around it, and/or from any of the other tail makers on hand). Amongst all this feminine glamour and shimmer were three brave mermen competing for the title of Mer King. I think that's what they were competing for, anyway. All I know is that when I saw one ChristoMer Starfish in his sparkling blue pants and body paint, carrying his trident and being full-on oceanic, I felt there was a clear, undisputed winner. Not every guy can put on glitterpants and look like an underwater king.

|Brief Summary
|Restless Leg Syndrome is a common but not well recognized central nervous system disorder. It is more prevalent during pregnancy and, if present before pregnancy, can develop an exacerbation of symptoms. In some of the hypothesis trying to explain this syndrome, the physiopathology can also explain hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. So far, no study has been done trying to link both disorders.

We've had some hair-raising moments, where every English match had you reaching for the Paracetamol and praying for a win.
Who can remember Beckham's last gasp equaliser against the Greeks or the 5-1 annihilation of Germany in 2001? Or older still, losing out from qualifying against the Poles?

I knitted my first sock. I'm pretty happy how it came out, except it's not real snug. I was wondering why you think this is. I did do a swatch and checked the gauge. I thought of 2 reasons... Either because I have a small foot (size 5) or because I used yarn from an 100% cotton sweater I unraveled from a thrift store. I'm wondering when I go on to make another pair, should I use needles to obtain a smaller gauge to account for my small feet, or just chalk it up to the yarn and use something more stretchy? That is, after I make another one identical to this one so I actually have a pair. Can you believe I slept in one sock last night because I was so proud of myself?
P. S. Thanks to everyone here as I would have never had the motivation and courage to try to knit a sock if it wasn't for finding craftster. Ok, this is nothing special, the most basic sock out there, but now I know I can do it, the possibilities are limitless, right?

Gunn-Palo Alto's Alex Gil had his shot for the win right on line, but the ball was a little short as the final buzzer sounded. The Titans couldn't hold on to a 13-point lead, falling to visiting Monta Vista-Cupertino 59-57 in a boys basketball contest Wednesday evening.
Gunn, which qualified for the Central Coast Section playoffs with a winning preseason mark, is 2-4 in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League El Camino Division, 10-7 overall.
"It was a thriller," Gunn coach Brandynn Williams said. "Monta Vista is a good team. They played well. We have to rebound and do the little things better."
"It was a fun game to be a part of," said Matadors' coach Clay Stiver, a Cupertino alum of 2004. "I was glad we came out ahead."
The winning points came on a side-court inbound play. Monta Vista's Ontick Khan waited patiently before passing to the weakside to Matadors big man Ramana Keerthi, who gathered himself before laying the ball in the cylinder with four seconds left.
"The weakside has to help out on that play," Williams said. "We needed to play better defense."
Gil took the inbound pass and raced up the floor. His pull-up 3-pointer for the win hit the front rim and caromed off.
"I had a good look, but it was short," Gil said. "It was the shot we were looking for. It was a pretty good shot."
The Titans had yeoman performances by forwards Chris Russell and Gil, who had a game-high 24 points. Russell had 19 points and a career-high 17 rebounds.
"I've been working on boxing out a lot," Russell said. "It's just the will to get the ball."
Gil, a sophomore, took over the game in the second period, scoring 13 points as the Titans led 38-35 at the intermission.
"Gil is a stud," Williams said. "He takes the ball to the basket (strong)."
The 6-foot-3 Gil scored many of his points by working one-on-one in the low block and in the lane. Gil dished to Sharrod Miller for a hoop for 42-37 Titans early in the third period. Gil then passed to Russell, who stroked a 3-pointer for 47-37. Another trey by Russell and the Titans had their biggest lead at 50-37.
The Matadors proceeded to go on a 14-0 run to take a 51-50 lead with five minutes to play. The 6-4 Keerthi was a beast in the interior, scoring 14 of his 21 points in the final period. After sitting out the second period with two fouls, Keerthi grabbed 13 of his game-high 18 boards in the second half.
"I didn't want to risk anything, so Keerthi was ready to go," said Stiver as to why he sat Keerthi. "We needed him."
"The second half, Keerthi dominated the game," Gil said. "I don't know how many rebounds he had."
A snake-like drive by Gil put the Titans ahead 52-51, but the Matadors scored the next six points. A trey by Gunn's Patrick Skelly with 40 seconds to play got the Titans within 57-55. Gil tied the game by following his own missed shot.
Monta Vista captain Aditya Raju had 14 points. The Titans were playing without center Noah Steinbrenner, who was out injured.
"It was like we lost our energy," Russell said. "We need to bounce back. It starts with good practices and keeping our heads high."

|JAYPERS from IL asks:
Hi Andy, thanks for the chat. Gotta ask the questions that many are already thinking, right out of the gate - does Lincecum have a legit shot at cracking the starting rotation out of spring training? Would he truly fit in best as a starter or reliever? And how much of a shot does he have at NL ROY, assuming he lives up to the billing?
Moderator: Hi everyone, thanks for swinging by. Lots of great questions here so we'll get right to it. It's the Giants' MO to be aggressive with pitchers once they think their stuff will play against big league hitters. There's little doubt Lincecum is at that stage. The biggest thing will be fastball command. He hasn't faced competition above Class A, and in talking to him, he's well aware that hitters will be much more disciplined as he moves up the ladder. That said, he won't make the team as a starter -- Russ Ortiz and Jonathan Sanchez are the candidates for the No.5 spot -- and he won't make the team as a reliever unless the Giants assess their bullpen need as acute. So if Benitez blows upgets traded and Wilson has a rough spring, there's a good chance we'll have Timmy Time. Will he start or relieve? It's one of their biggest internal debates. The Giants cite Lincecum's resilient arm when saying he could start or relieve down the line. But starters always have more value, and teams usually want to give their higher ceiling arms every opportunity to succeed in that role first. When you see that arm speed, though, it really does make you think of the Angels' F-Rod. If he throws strikes, he could be a dominant closer. My hunch is that's where he'll make the biggest big league contribution. It'll really depend on what the team needs. And yeah, he's a definite top ROY candidate if he plays a full season.
|J.P. from Springfield asks:
By re-signing Durham, does this mean the front office lacks enough confidence in Frandsen's ability to take over at 2B fulltime? His makeup seems to be off the charts, but is he not yet ready?
Moderator: You could ask Rich Aurilia this question if you wanted to make him laugh. Do the Giants ever hand jobs to unproven position players? In the Sabean Era, you'd have to go back pretty far. Aurilia is a good example. He had to caddy for three shortstops -- Jose Vizcaino, Rey Sanchez and Shawon Dunston -- before he finally cracked the everyday lineup. And he turned out to be a pretty good major league player. I for one didn't expect Durham to return, simply because the Giants had so, so many holes to fill and 2B was one spot where they had an in-house candidate. But they needed an RBI man to protect Bonds and didn't like their free-agent choices. The wisdom of that decision aside, Frandsen is still held in high regard by organizational folks -- perhaps more than ever after he worked on his hitting approach in the AFL. He also asked to take fly balls so he could maximize his utility this season. He's disappointed he won't start, but you can't keep Frandsen down for long. Other than maybe David Eckstein, he's got as much energy and drive as any player I've ever covered. He knows that scouts dog his tools, but he's determined to prove them wrong. Wade Boggs was kind of viewed in a similar light when he was a minor leaguer. That's not to say Frandsen will amass 3,000 hits, but it's hard to see him failing to stick as a big league regular.
|Jean-Paul from Leland Grove asks:
What's been the reason for Sanders' regression last year? Can he turn it around?
Moderator: Very simple. The shoulder won't heal. Whenever I mentioned Sanders to people in the organization, they shook their heads. It's really crushing that a player with so much ability might never make it out of A-ball. He spiraled downward at the plate because he couldn't get consistent at-bats, which was a direct result of his shoulder. The experiment to loosen up his shoulder capsule might have turned out to be a mistake. The Giants are still evaluating that. But he's still young, and if his shoulder ever heals, he'll remain a prospect.
|Draft Junkie from Midwest asks:
With SIX (!) picks in the 1st round alone this year, what do you see management going after, come this June?
Moderator: Unreal, isn't it? I was talking with Dick Tidrow the other day and he's very excited about the draft. ``Lotta pitching,'' he said. Everybody knows Dick Tidrow can find big league pitchers late in the draft. (Jonathan Sanchez was a 27th-rounder, Scott Munter was taken past the 50th round and Jeremy Accardo was an undrafted free agent.) Now he's truly armed for battle this June. Earlier this winter, I kind of wondered if the Giants would dial back the big league payroll because they'd have so many big draft bonuses to pay. Then they signed Barry Zito for $126 million. This is a new era and the Giants aren't afraid to spend. They'll take the top talent available.
|Dean from Madison asks:
IS EME just Jack Cust in a Giants uniform? Will he ever get to the level on defense to exceed Cust?
Moderator: It's funny you make that comp, Dean. If EME doesn't pan out, I've thought he'd turn out to be Cust version 2.0. But other than lacking a position, they're really two different players. Eddy is a much better pure hitter than Cust. He doesn't strike out much and is a doubles machine. It's not an all-or-nothing approach. I've heard good things about EME's work ethic in instructional league. Really, he should be a first baseman but I'm not sure if either he or the Giants are excited about heading in that direction. The biggest thing is he's healthy and part of big league camp for the first time. Just being in that environment should help him.
|Browning Nagle from Louisville, KY asks:
Villalona looks like an absolute monster. Have all scouts to see him raved about him? Is it true he hit a 400 foot bomb as a 13 year old with a wood bat??
Moderator: I talked to a scout who saw Cal Ripken take BP at Memorial Stadium as a 14-year-old and he said Villalona's bat makes the same sound. (For me, Prince Fielder ranks as the best 14-year-old BP I've ever seen.) I haven't heard your anecdote, but it wouldn't surprise me. Brian Sabean mentioned to me that Villalona made Scottsdale Stadium look like a Little League park during instructional league. But patience, folks. It's going to take awhile. And you never know how kids will mature and fill out. Joel Guzman was supposed to be the next A-Rod and we've yet to see him make a big league impact.
|Willam J. Lapedomaine from Rock Ridge, TX asks:
The Life of Brian: Who has the better stuff Wilson or Sadler? Who has more long-term potential?
Moderator: Clearly, it's Wilson. Both have plus fastballs and Sadler probably gets a little more movement, but Wilson's can register 98. Wilson also has a slider that's pure filth. The Giants had a pretty good closer who mixed slider and fastball. Come to think of it, I just saw Robb Nen today. It's in camp as an instructor and special assistant to Sabean. Wilson and Sadler were LSU teammates and it would be a nice story if they both become key contributors out of the Giants bullpen.
|Travis from Austin, TX asks:
What is the status of Waldis Joaquin, how did he pitch this year and how does the organization feel about his future?
Moderator: Good question. Joaquin had Tommy John surgery on June 2, 2006 and rehab is going very well. He is projected to return to competition in June. Joaquin was the most impressive arm on the Giants' ARL team in 2005, which is saying something because Shairon Martis was on that squad. While I'm updating injuries, you may be interested to know that Kelyn Acosta is in big league camp and throwing with no restrictions. Looks like he's on his way back, and that's great news for the Giants. You'll see more about him in an upcoming Giants org report.
|John from Harrisonburg, VA asks:
Does Nick Pereira have the stuff to be a #4 or #5 starter? Do you see him having a chance to help the Giants in 2007?
Moderator: Pereira graded high on the list more because of his polish than his stuff. Brad Hennessey is a good comp. Like everyone else, it comes down to executing pitches. The Giants like his makeup and durability, though. Plus it's easy to root for a Don. Jesse Foppert didn't live up to the billing in SF, but maybe Pereira will make a bigger big league contribution. One thing in Pereira's favor is there aren't too many upper-level starting pitching prospects. Pat Misch is another guy with a chance to help by eating innings...he was a very tough omission from the top 30.
|John from Harrisonburg, VA asks:
What is Clay Timpner's ceiling? Is he someone who may have a major league career?
Moderator: It really depends on the bat. Timpner is a joy to watch in center field. He really plays the heck out of the position -- takes good routes to balls, has a nice arm, has great instincts and speed. It's telling that he's back in big league camp despite having an awful year at the plate. He'll have to make strides offensively, though, and quick. Ben Copeland and Mike McBryde are below him in the system, and he'll need to stay in front of them to avoid becoming an afterthought.
|Sean from Norman asks:
Andy - Where does former Sooner Ryan Rohlinger rank in their farm system? And what is the word on Rohlinger, can he make the big league club as a utility guy? Thanks.
Moderator: The Giants really like Rohlinger and he would have made the list if it went another 10-deep. I really wish I'd been able to see a few Salem-Keizer games...must've been fun to watch. Rohlinger has enough talent, ability, versatility and scrappiness to be a big league utility guy. His pro debut certainly was promising.
|Michael Stern from Rochester NY asks:
Can you tell me what the deal is with Engenio Velez? Is he considered a prospect with any chance to be the second baseman of the future? He had great numbers this year in the SAL (.315, 14HR, 90 RBI and 64 SB) but seems to get no respect. In the BA Almanac you have him listed as the minor league player of the year for SF - but he didn't make the top 10 list here and he didn't even make the top 20 in the SAL. What's his story? Love these chats! Thanks.
Moderator: Velez and Pat Misch were my two most painful omissions from the top 30. And I admit, after the Giants added Velez to the 40-man, I'd find a way to wedge him in somewhere if I could revise the list. There's no disputing he had an eye-opening season last year, though it's tempered by the fact he was one of the oldest players in the SAL. The Giants aren't holding that against him, though. Players develop at different ages. Eliezer Alfonzo is a great example. I'm not convinced he'll have a long big league career, but he sure saved the Giants' bacon last year when Mike Matheny got hurt. So I think they'll be open minded with Velez. This year should be a telling one for him as he competes against older players. I must say, though, I'm even more impressed with his power numbers after seeing him in person for the first time this week. He might be the skinniest player I've ever seen in a big league camp. Even his cheeks are hollow. Can't wait to see him play once Cactus League games start.
|Dan McKay from Albuquerque, N.M. asks:
Have you heard anything about the Australian pitcher the Giants recently signed?
Moderator: Most of what I know is courtesy of the local press in Perth. (I check a bunch of newspaper Web sites daily, but that's not one in my regular rotation!) His name is Cameron Lamb and he's a right-hander who throws in the upper 80s. Scout Jim Patterson signed him. Patterson came to the Giants along with John Cox, who was hired last year to oversee a massive expansion into scouting the Pacific Rim. The Giants really are branching out. Cox reportedly got a bonus in excess of $100,000. Here's a quote from Patterson: ``Cameron is very young but has all the qualities we look for in a pitcher – size, composure and command of four pitches. We project that he will have the size to make an outstanding pitcher. He has great composure and is able to strike hitters out.'' (As a side note, I would like to share that I was just in Australia and New Zealand for three weeks in January, and after watching a 6-hour cricket match, I will NEVER, EVER complain about a 13-inning game again!)
|JAYPERS from IL asks:
Who's faster - Burriss or McBryde? And who can best utilize that speed at their respective position?
Moderator: At the tape, McBryde by a nose. It's pretty impressive to be the fastest player in the system, since the Giants also have Marcus Sanders and Eugenio Velez. Brian Sabean believes that speed will be the next big thing, and he's loading up on it. (As opposed to the current rage, OBP...this is the team that just re-signed Pedro Feliz, after all.) Interesting second question. I'd say McBryde, just because a center fielder can make up for bad reads or other mistakes with pure speed. A shortstop with bad instincts really can't do that. (Which isn't a knock on Burriss...I'm told his baseball IQ is very high and he profiles as an above-average defensive SS.)
|J.P. from Springfield asks:
What does Ortmeier have to do to turn things around and improve his stock?
Moderator: Health, for starters. I didn't know until last week that he had knee surgery in the offseason. Apparently, it was a minor scope and he's worked hard on rehab to make sure he'll hit the ground running in camp. He was one of the first position players I saw this spring. Ortmeier mostly has to build confidence. He has tremendous skills and I can't think of too many players his size who can fly the way he does. Like many hitters at Connecticut, he let Dodd Stadium get in his head. It'll be good for him to move up a notch and get off to a good start in the PCL. Same thing for Nate Schierholtz and EME.
|Tom from San Francisco, CA asks:
Why wasn't Bonds projected to be the starting left fielder in 2010? Under what circumstances would this organization NOT attempt to re-sign him?
Moderator: Man, where do I go with this one.... Well, Barry just told us he's playing till he's 100. I'm sure Todd Linden wasn't too happy to hear that!
|Mike from JLB asks:
What's the deal with "Big Baby" Villalona? The hype surrounding him and his potential is nearly comical with talk of 400 ft. wood bat home runs when he was 13, etc. Does this kid really look a lot different than other similarly-aged top Latin prospects of the last 10-15 years (e.g. Joel Guzman, who it seems was similarly hyped and compensated)? It's not typical of BA to rank a 16-year-old with no professional experience this highly--should this tell us how much you like him? Also, where does he tentatively seem to fit in the Top 100?
Moderator: Lotta "Big V" questions. A little background...these rankings are tough enough when you're comparing right-handed relievers to left-handed hitting first basemen. It's like apples and oranges, to some extent. Then throw in a kid who should be a high school sophomore, and how do you begin to stack them up? Well, the criteria we use is to rate players based on their ultimate ceiling and what kind of big league impact they would make if they reach that ceiling. Villalona certainly has more upside than any Giants position prospect -- now or in recent years. Having said that, he's also just 16 and has a lot of growing and maturing to do. There was a Nicaraguan player in the '80s named David Green that scouts have told me was the best prospect they've ever seen. I don't think he'll appear on my Hall of Fame ballot next year. Yes, it's perfectly all right to be excited about Villalona, and we'll be sure to thoroughly track his progress for you. But there's no such thing as a "can't miss" 16-year-old. As my brokerage statements say, all holdings are subject to market vulnerability.
|Brett from Chicago asks:
What are your thoughts on Bocock and McBryde? Also was Izturis considered for the list? How does he factor in the Giants plans? Thanks!
Moderator: Oh, forgot to answer last part of the Big V question...which is, I don't know where he'll rank in the top 100. I'm only peripherally involved on that. Now, on to Bocock, etc...It was crazy how often Bocock's name came up when I talked to Giants minor league coaches and officials. He wasn't on my original top-30 radar, but it's clear he has plenty of support within the organization. Most rate him a much better playmaker at SS than Emmanuel Burriss or Sharlon Schoop. He'll be a big leaguer if he can hit .260. That's a long way off, though. McBryde is a real dynamo, and he exceeded expectations with the bat at Salem-Keizer. That doesn't guarantee anything, and I have a hunch he'll hit a few potholes this year, but he has the tools. Julio Izturis was a good story last year because of his bloodlines and because the Giants are making more inroads in Venezuela. As a player, he's not as strong as Cesar and not as projectable as Maicer. He's got the right last name, though. Cesar acted as his little brother's agent and steered him toward the Giants because he developed a relationship with scout Rick Ragazzo. We'll see what Julio does in the AZL this year.
|Ray from Fullerton, CA asks:
Why no Craig Whitaker? In 05 and 06 he was a top 10 prospect, and now not even top 30 material. I know he's been hurt the last couple season, but to me he has to have a higer potenial ceiling than Nick Pereira, Joey Martinez and David Quinowski. Or is he nothing more than a bust.
Moderator: Whitaker is really at a crossroads. He's not forgotten yet, but it's hard to see his body holding up for a full season. It simply hasn't happened. He has trouble repeating his delivery and is constantly susceptible to injury as a result. Last year, he had an oblique strain in April, then required an ulnar nerve transposition surgery in his elbow in August. In Tidrow's words, he remains a "big equipment guy" and so he's still someone to watch. He'd have made my top-40 list.
|Al from Port Chester, NY asks:
20 years from now, who will have had the better career, Lincecum or Cain?
Moderator: I'll take Cain. He's going to be good for a long time. I see him staying healthy, too.
|Brett from SF asks:
How similar a player is Villalona to Adrian Beltre when he was 16? Can Villalona go the Beltre route and make it to the majors by the time he is 19?
Moderator: One more Villalona question...I covered the Dodgers beat when Beltre was promoted and that was the work of Tommy Lasorda during his stint as interim GM. It was not a popular move among the player development folks and it might have set back Beltre a few years. Of course, this is the same organization that let Beltre field ground balls while he still had a colostomy bag attached to him (after a botched appendectomy). But Beltre went on to be productive, and even outstanding for one season. Andruw Jones sure didn't seem bothered by coming up as a 20-year-old. Really, it all depends on the kid. I wouldn't expect to see him at China Basin until after his 20th birthday, though.
|Mark from The D asks:
What is Jonathan Sanchez's ceiling? Could he be #2 material, or is he more of a back end starter?
Moderator: Front end all the way. He's a lefty with easy arm action who throws in the mid-90s with a plus changeup. The ball really jumps and gets on hitters fast. Last year he competed well against major league hitters with just those two pitches. He'll need the slider to be a top starter, and he's making encouraging progress with it this spring. Bengie Molina was telling me he thinks Sanchez can be a No.1. And he's only caught the kid twice this spring.
|Elvis Joe from Long Beach asks:
where would John Bowker and Todd Jennings rank? In the top 30 or so? They are both former Long Beach St "dirtbags" and I believe both were 2nd or 3rd rounders...thanks
Moderator: Bowker has been a disappointment along the Brian Buscher lines. Jennings has a better chance, especially because he's a catcher. In camp last year, he looked like an 18-year-old Craig Biggio. This year, he looks much more physically mature.
|Borat from Kazikstan asks:
Yekshamesh... I see the Giants System is how do you say...stinks...Do you see anyone other than Sanchez and Linecum cracking the Top 100 list?
Moderator: Very nice...I like your moviefilm very much. Villalona could make it too, but Sanchez and Lincecum are the only, how you say, slam dunkings.
|thebig747 from Milwaukee, WI asks:
Thanks for the chat. Please complete this sentence, "In 3 years, Eddy Martinez-Esteve will be...."
Moderator: dating Hillary Duff.
|Tommy from Tupelo asks:
What's your take on Nate Schierholtz? His overall numbers the past 2 years haven't been so great, but he seems to come on strong after settling in at each level. Do you think he's likely to develop into a ML-quality RF soon? The Giants' AARP OF can't last forever!
Moderator: Couple more...gotta watch Lincecum throw live on the main field...he's due to face Frandsen, Linden and a couple more. Schierholtz really had three good weeks in a miserable year, I've got to think he was tired in Hawaii because his winter league there was unimpressive as well. He's improved his stock by becoming a pretty good right fielder, which is why we graded him above EME. I still think Schierholtz is a ways away, but that raw power is impossible to ignore. If anything, he looks a little scaled back on the muscle this spring. Sometimes that can help a player.
|Tim from Proctorville, Ohio asks:
Adam Witter appears to be a terrific combination of power and OBP, with a decent average. Can he stay behind the plate?
Moderator: He didn't catch regularly in college. Steve Decker liked his work ethic and thinks he'll improve, but he'll never be Mike Matheny back there. Definitely a nice debut and we'll see how he does at a full-season affiliate. Despite the debut, he's a bit too fringy to make it at a position other than catcher. But hey, it's all about proving people wrong, right?
|thebig747 from Milwaukee, WI asks:
What's up with BA fave Merkyn Valdez - not even in the top 10 in a weak system? Thank you.
Moderator: President Merkin won't throw a pitch until winter ball because of Tommy John surgery in September. (And props to those of you who get the Dr. Strangelove reference...)
|Jed from Joliet asks:
What separates Emmanuel Burriss from Sharlon Schoop in your mind? The latter put up some impressive OB numbers in rookie ball again and is allegedly a smooth fielding SS. Burris obviously stole more bases, but is that enough for him to earn the coveted "SS of the future" tag?
Moderator: Burriss is easier to project. Schoop has plenty of potential, but I don't know if he'll be the offensive player Burriss projects to be. And Burriss isn't a bad defensive player, either. Too bad neither will be ready next season, when Omar Vizquel's contract expires. But hey, if Barry can play till he's 100, I'll take Omar till he's 120! Thanks for the questions everyone. Look forward to doing this again next year!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Scotland was the first to use the name Clunas. They lived in the lands of Clunie in Stormmot, Perthshire where the name can be found since very early times.
Clunas Early Origins
Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Clunas Spelling Variations
Clunas Spelling Variations
In medieval Scotland, names were more often spelled according to sound than any regular set of rules. An enormous number of spelling variations were the result. Over the years, the name Clunas has been spelled Clunie, Clooney, Cloon, Cloone, Clowney, Clune, Cluney, Clunis and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In such difficult times, Ireland, Australia, and North America looked like better homes for many Scots. The trips were expensive and grueling, but also rewarding, as the colonies were havens for those unwelcome in the old country. That legacy did not die easily, though, and many were forced to fight for their freedom in the American War of Independence. The Scottish legacy has resurface in more recent times, though, through Clan societies, highland games, and other organizations. Immigration and passenger lists have shown many early immigrants bearing the old Scottish name of Clunas: Michael Clunie who settled in Philadelphia in 1810; Daniel Cluney settled in Philadelphia in 1866; Thomas arrived in Philadelphia in 1868; Bartholomew, John, and Joseph Clune arrived in Philadelphia between 1858 and 1868..

The legendary watchmaker Abraham Louis Breguet, is unrivaled in the realm of inventions and acknowledged by the cognoscenti as the greatest watchmaker of all time! Breguet's client list is the most impressive of any watchmaker in the history of watchmaking; it includes the likes of Queen Marie-Antoinette, Emperor Napoleon, Sir Winston Churchill, Ettore Bugatti, George Washington, Tsar Alexander – the list is endless…

Among their distinguished clients have been Albert Einstein, Madame Marie Curie, Rudyard Kipling, Queen Victoria, Tchaikovsky… and a plethora of royalty, past and present.

A. Lange & Sohne has been creating exceptional timepieces since 1845 and is the only non-Swiss watchmaker who commands a position at the pinnacle of watchmaking. The youngest of the "Big Four" has rightfully earned the reputation of "making the impossible, possible" among connoisseurs! A prodigious innovator, A. Lange & Söhne's timepieces are highly sought-after by aficionados and collectors.
The Big Four are widely recognized as the greatest watchmakers of all time – often referred to as the 'Four Pillars' of fine watchmaking! In what is at once a tribute and a testimonial to their reputation, their unrivaled quality and their timeless value, virtually all the world records at auctions are held by the 'Big Four' testifying to the fact that they are 'art', 'heirloom' and 'investment ' all rolled in one. Not only are they easily 'portable' and extremely 'liquid' investments but they almost invariably appreciate in value and are very discreetly 'under-the-radar' as well.
A mere handful of jewelers in the entire world have the privilege of being invited by ALL of the Big Four to showcase their collections under one roof. Jewels by Love has the unique privilege of being honored with this distinction. In addition, they represent such renowned watchmakers as I.W.C., Ulysse Nardin and Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Lange & Sohne (for the very first time ever in Dutch St. Maarten!) – more surprises to come shortly!

In recent news, Mr. Darling has urged caution when dealing with public spending. Currently the government is attempting to eliminate a total of £80billion from the public spending sector alone. This could have a significant impact on financial instruments.
What are financial instruments?
Assets which can be traded:
What potential impacts can consumers expect from the public spending reduction in relation to financial instruments?
All of these potential impacts mean that people may need to come up with alternate plans to make their budgets work. For some families, even a £10 per month could mean further stress and financial burden.
The government has a lot to juggle; their choice may be to make the cuts or risk losing all forms of public assistance by the year 2020. It is not the best of scenarios either way, so it's important to find out what you can do to make your financial instruments work for you so you can overcome financial obstacles.

As more countries adopt green strategies in sourcing electricity, the road to energy consumption solely by renewables becomes a little smoother and a little less risky to travel on.
But the big question remains as to if the complete transition into green energy is possible and even economically viable on a global scale.
In a perfect world, a total switch to solar, wind and bio energy would be the obvious solution to problems such as power shortages, climate related changes and so forth, yet with factors like politics and funding, our objective to eradicate fossil fuel dependence is constantly being challenged.
Although some people will argue that he is out of his depth, physicist and professor Dr. David McKay explained that if we are at all serious about energy security and climate change, we'll find the money for it instead of spending it on various projects of dubious benefit.
But it's not just the funds that come into play. While tropical regions receive year round sunshine and wind from ocean currents, other regions in the globe lack that source of constant energy.
Main obstacles to renewables in Hawaii
Hawaii may be leading the US and the rest of the world in terms of solar energy converted households and businesses, but parts of the mainland suffer from cloudiness and no wind which many assume are obstacles towards a 100 percent conversion to renewables. Plus, there currently isn't a cheap solution in storing solar and wind energy.
The reality is that storing solution previously spoken about is not the only answer to the predicament, considering that certain areas of the nation are reliable sources of wind and solar; it's just a matter of building a national power grid that will be constructed on lines that can send energy to different regions whenever needed.
Conversion to renewables in US to gain pace
Prior to recent studies, most research had been conducted on better and affordable storage facilities, which have been necessary for specific industries like electrical vehicles. Looking at the weather conditions across the country, experts have discovered that the US as a whole has a steady supply of wind and solar, and that a bigger power grid with efficient lines could be a viable solution, with the possibility that electricity rates will lower by 2030 and cut emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels.
Why oil is dominant source of energy?
Despite ongoing research on clean energy, oil still plays an integral part for the large majority of the world. The fossil fuel proved once again to be an extremely volatile commodity these past couple of years, with shares on an overall continual downfall.
This has sparked controversies with OPEC countries as global economies have urged them to cut production but have instead monopolized the market and upped their production rates. In regions like the Middle East that have sunshine throughout the seasons are heavily dependent on oil as an economic driver and a key player in the job market, especially in Iraq where oil companies have been known to engage a predominantly local workforce.
Switching to renewables in EU is going well
Looking at other corners of the world, other nations seem to be making the adjustments without the struggles as outlined earlier. According to the European Union, around one-third of its members have already met the target of having 20 percent of their energy needs met via renewables, a benchmark that was set to be met by the end of a decade.
As it stands, Eurostat data reveal that 28 members have met their 2020 goal, with the United Kingdom scoring the worst out of all members at just 7 percent. Because the road to green energy is a long one, EU states have already agreed to a 27 percent target by 2030, and just by observing the progress that's already been made in the continent; the 2030 target seems to be well within their reach.
Need to promote energy diversity
As scientists and forward thinkers delve deeper into renewables, they are learning that despite all the obstacles and hindrances, a world run by wind, solar, and bioenergy is still a prospect we are banking on. It's just a matter of convincing financial backers to fund innovation and changing policies to promote energy diversification, rather than continuing to spend billions on petrocarbon ventures, which can easily be rerouted into sustainable power projects.

Kings-Bulls Preview
Despite having just concluded a 6-3 road trip, the injury-plagued Chicago Bulls return home a bit disappointed after letting a potential seventh win slip away.
A matchup with the last-place club in the Pacific Division could help put them in better spirits.
With reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose still unavailable Tuesday night, the Eastern Conference-leading Bulls try for a for a seventh win in their last eight meetings with the Sacramento Kings.
Rose has missed seven games this season due to multiple injuries, including the last two with lower back spasms. He saw a specialist Monday and while no structural damage was found, his status remains day-to-day.
"Anytime there's not something structurally wrong that's good news," general manager Gar Forman told the Bulls' official website. "He'll have rest and therapy and hopefully be back soon."
Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that Rose's condition is improving but "still not where we want it to be." Thibodeau added that the Bulls will "be patient and see how it goes" with their superstar point guard.
With Rose sidelined, Chicago (23-7) saw its five-game winning streak come to an end Sunday with a 95-91 loss at Boston. C.J. Watson and Carlos Boozer each scored 22 points but the Bulls shot just 38.6 percent from the field.
"There's no excuses," said Joakim Noah, who's averaging 13.8 points and 10.8 rebounds over his last five contests. "We're 6-3 on this road trip. We want to be a championship team: 6-3 is OK, not great. Obviously, we're not playing with our MVP. But definitely we had enough in this (locker) room to win this game. I feel like we got outcompeted. I think we could definitely have played better."
While the Bulls went 0-3 versus clubs with winning records on their trip, they had little problem winning all six matchups versus teams under .500 - outscoring those opponents by an average of 18.5 points.
Chicago has also experienced its share of lopsided victories in this series of late. The Bulls have outscored Sacramento (10-17) by an average of 13.8 points while taking six of the last seven matchups, including a 132-92 victory March 21 in the Kings' last visit to the United Center.
Chicago also prevailed 108-98 at Sacramento on Dec. 29 behind 16 points and a season-high 15 boards from Boozer. Rose and Richard Hamilton (right thigh), who also remains sidelined for Chicago, combined for 35 points in that game.
The Kings, who won a season-best three straight Feb. 2-6, have since dropped two of three including Saturday's 98-84 home loss to Phoenix.
DeMarcus Cousins continued his impressive play with 26 points and nine rebounds while Marcus Thornton scored 21. The rest of the team, however, largely failed to produce.
Tyreke Evans - averaging 16.9 points on the season - scored just four while shooting 1 of 9. Isaiah Thomas was only slightly better, making 2 of 9 shots and finishing with five points.
"We just couldn't make shots and we didn't play as a team," Thomas said. "That kind of starts with me and Tyreke - as point guards we've got to get guys more involved, get them in the rights spots and make the offense flow."
Cousins is averaging 20.8 points and 13.6 rebounds over his last five games. He had 15 points and 12 boards in the last meeting with the Bulls.
The Kings, who open a six-game road trip Tuesday, have averaged just 87.7 points while going 3-12 away from home. Their 39.9 field-goal percentage in opposing arenas ranks last in the league.

"Beyond expectations"
What is great about Auto Repair Inc. Is that Ken always goes the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. From getting work done ahead of schedule, to checking more than was asked for, my car always leaves the shop much better than when it came in and I am given the confidence that there should be no negative surprises in the near future.

Gruffalo director: How to make a monster hit
Olivia Jacobs on how she came to lead the children's theatre pack— and helped family entertainment grow up. By John Nathan
Dog, Frog, Bird, Dragon and Witch are having lunch. So are Cat and Monster. This gives Olivia Jacobs, co-founder and artistic director of Tall Stories, the chance to talk about the nation's most successful theatre company for children.
"I wouldn't describe us as a children's theatre company," corrects Jacobs. And you can see why. The term used to have a whiff of something less than proper about it. Theatre-makers who were not able to produce good theatre for adults, could always churn out something mediocre for children. But companies such as Cornwall-based Kneehigh and Jacobs's own Tall Stories, which used to be based in a synagogue in Finchley, have changed all that.
"When we first started, it was all dungarees," remembers Jacobs about the stuff that used to pass for family entertainment. Jacobs does a perfect imitation of the condescension those shows used to dole out. "Hello Children, Uncle Mark here!"
"It would put absolute fear in your heart," she continues. "But that was never what we were about."
So parents who are taking their toddlers to see Dog, Frog et al, the characters in Tall Stories' latest adaptation, Room on the Broom, should expect no dungarees. Or patronising uncles.
Under the leadership of Jacobs and her co-founder Toby Mitchell, Tall Stories has changed the landscape of children's… sorry — theatre for all ages. Room on the Broom, which is based on the hugely popular book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and is described as a "magical, musical delight for children aged 3–8", opens not in a community hall somewhere in the suburbs — the fate of many a show aimed at the whole family — but at one of the grandest venues in the West End, the Garrick.
Broom is the latest in a canon consisting of no fewer than 17 Tall Stories productions. If the company's breakthrough came with an adaptation of Snow White — which amazingly transferred to Broadway — the monster hit was/is/and probably always will be The Gruffalo which since it first opened in 2001 has ridden a tide of critical acclaim and positive word of mouth.
"The Gruffallo was such a gift," says Jacobs of the book which has the same writer/illustrator team as Room on the Broom. "It was a beautiful story we could expand and play with."
Tall Stories started from small beginnings, from a chat in the Soho Theatre box office to be exact. Jacobs was working as festival co-ordinator at the venue and Mitchell was assistant director on the Diane Samuels's play Kindertransport. In fact, the story of Tall Stories began with a show that was never even intended for an audience of children.
"Toby and I went up to the Edinburgh Festival with two works that we really liked. One was an Oscar Wilde fairy story, The Happy Prince, and the other was a version of Alice and Wonderland, although neither was aimed at children. They were just stories we loved and wanted to tell. We sold out!"
A common theme emerged from the audience and critical response — how nice it was to find a show that is aimed at children but is not just for them.
"And we thought there is definitely room for a company which wanted to tell great stories well for children but that are also good for adults. Because adults are about 70 per cent of our audience. You quite often see grandma, grandpa, mum, dad and one little boy. It's really important that everyone enjoys it."
But of those audience members, it is the little boy that is likely to be the harshest critic. In fact the most acidic critical bile from the nation's most cynical reviewer is as nothing compared to the instant verdict of a toddler who declares out loud, and while the show is still on, the cutting phrase: "Mummy. I'm bored."
"When we do a show we rehearse it to the point when we think we're ready and then we show it to a small audience of family groups," says Jacobs. "You know within the first few minutes when you hear the seat backs going if they are not interested."
Jacobs's career in the theatre began in 1995 when she worked as an administrator for the Jewish story-telling theatre group, The Besht Tellers. She herself began in Bournemouth where she was raised in the city's Jewish community.
One of three sisters, she is the daughter of a lawyer father, who now runs a holiday home, and a yoga-teacher mother. There was no showbiz in her family other than the theatre productions Jacobs's mother used to take the family to.
"I saw my first Hamlet when I was four," recalls Jacobs. "And I used to be in all the school plays. I thought it was great. And then I went to university in London and then the Central Drama School [in north London] and found out that I wasn't so great — at least not as an actor. I found it very frustrating, knowing what I wanted to be like on-stage and not being able to be it."
But there is no sense of lost vocation. Identifying the gap between the performance that is delivered and the performance that is needed is exactly the skill of a good director. And that Jacobs is very good is obvious not just by the success of Tall Stories — which apart from the occasional Arts Council grant depends almost entirely on its box office success to survive — but by the number of hopefuls who write to Jacobs asking to sit in on their rehearsals to watch and learn. Last time they advertised for nine actors, they had 983 applications. No longer is children's theatre (sorry, again) the poor relation of grown-up theatre. In fact, Jacobs does not rule out producing shows for adults. A company called Short Stories, perhaps?
"I think I probably owe my parents a lot," says Jacobs. "They gave me the security of knowing that working in the theatre all went belly up, I could come home and have some TLC before trying something else."
Now Jacobs and her husband, composer John Fiber, who also co-runs a production company whose clients include Limmud, dole out their own TLC. They have two Tall Stories audience members of their own. And it will not be long before five-year-old Freddie and three-year-old Lilly give their own verdict on Room on the Broom.
At the Garrick Theatre, London WC2 until August 29. Tickets at www.garrick-theatre.co.uk

LONDON — The Bad News Brits turned their heads up to the thousands of cheers as if standing under a warm shower, the roaring passion washing over their torn jerseys and mismatched socks.
They had just lost to France, 44-15.
The Bad News Brits walked off the handball court at the Copper Box as champions walk, blowing kisses to women, throwing wristbands to children, waving at all that love.
The British men's handball team now has a lifetime record of 9-62.
"My heart was racing, and there was a tear in my eye,'' said playmaker Ciaran Williams.
On a rainy night that perhaps only that local Dickens dude would have completely understood, the Olympic spirit descended Sunday in the best of moments upon the worst of teams.
The British handballers, who are in the Olympics only because the host country can enter every sport without qualification, are like high schoolers thrust into the NBA playoffs. They are arguably the most awful squad in these entire Games.
