The Jerry Bruckheimer White House
Published: May 11, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Washington's drama critics certainly acted as if he did. The dean of the capital's press corps, David Broder, was aglow over what he called the president's "physical posture," telling Tim Russert that "this president has learned how to move in a way that just conveys a great sense of authority and command." It was inevitable that "Meet the Press" would unspool a classic Democratic rerun for contrast — Michael Dukakis's ill-fated 1988 photo op in a tank while running against the current president's father. To bring the dialectic up to date, Bob Novak asked, "Could Joe Lieberman get into a jet pilot's jump suit and look credible?" and then answered his own question in the negative. He's not wrong. Against the cultural backdrop of war-on-terrorism America, it doesn't matter that Senator Lieberman is Jewish; what does matter is that he's short.
Left unmentioned in this punditry, of course, was how the White House's "Top Gun" obscured or sweetened reality. The Abraham Lincoln was not in the middle of the sea, as it appeared to the innocent viewer, but only positioned to duck the San Diego skyline fewer than 40 miles away. Nor was anyone about to point out how neatly the scene burnished Mr. Bush's own spotty attendance record as a pilot during Vietnam, when he was safely at home as a member of the Texas Air National Guard, a k a the Champagne Unit for its high quotient of Houston society sons. In this sense, the Bush flight did the job as effectively as President Reagan's 1984 D-Day anniversary appearance (with its own aircraft carrier backdrop) in Normandy, which forever cemented the national fantasy, gently encouraged by Mr. Reagan himself, that his own wartime service had been on the front rather than in Culver City, Calif.
The Normandy spectacle was famously concocted by the Reagan photo-op maestro, Michael Deaver, who never forgot that images always trump words on TV. Mr. Deaver knew that if his boss cut any federal subsidy for the elderly, it was a cue for him to be televised surrounded by flags cutting the ribbon at a new nursing home. The Bush team updates Deaver principles with Bruckheimer pyrotechnics. The showmanship has been flawless since that ingeniously "inclusive" 2000 Philadelphia convention, at which a nearly all-minority cast of gospel singers and break dancers played to a nearly all-white hall of delegates. But even that minstrel show will look like amateur night next to what's in store for the 2004 convention in New York City.
Ground Zero, here they come! To make certain that the president's re-election campaign can be cloaked in the vestments of 9/11 as fully as possible, the Republicans have gone so far as to push Mr. Bush's renomination as far back as 9/2. How late is that? So late that by law Mr. Bush may actually have to be a write-in candidate in those states that have earlier deadlines for the certification of presidential nominees and the printing of absentee ballots.
If the script for the 2000 convention is followed, whatever happens onstage in 2004 will be designed to cover up any less appetizing realities off stage. You can already see the process at work. Even as Mr. Bush poetically invoked that "terrible morning" of 9/11 with its "last phone calls" and "searches in the rubble" on the Abraham Lincoln, Newsweek was reporting a "behind-the-scenes" administration effort to suppress an 800-page Congressional investigative report "including provocative, if unheeded, warnings, given President Bush and his top advisers during the summer of 2001."
But in a Bruckheimer political culture it's the scenes themselves, not the more complex stories behind them, that register. When the president is appearing before the most powerful backdrop of our time on the third anniversary of the infamy that created it, the Democratic convention will already have come and gone in the dog days of August in the Dukakis town of Boston.
"No Democrat will be elected president in 2004 who is not strong on defense," said Joe Lieberman in his party's unseen debate last weekend. More accurately he might have said that no one will be elected president who does not look strong on defense. That would presumably be John Kerry, who, as he put it himself last weekend, is the "only person running for this job who's actually fought in a war." No doubt it was to hammer in that heroic Navy past that he posed for his most dramatic photo op to date, washing up on a San Diego beach in a surfer's wet suit in a spread for Vogue.

I fixed it myself. My answer was a hybrid answer I deduced that was triggered by the end of another user's December 23, 2009 post. The answer for me was different than theirs but similar enough to take a guess at.
Simply, the BB AppWorld requires plastic. Simple financial institution data in PayPal won't cut it, at least with my institution. It will not let me login. I have my codes now. Thanks for the assistance.
Occam's Razor yet again! I'm glad you got it figured out!
so if the money was already taken to purchase the app but they need plastic how do you go about starting that process over and/or getting your money back? sorry if its an ignorant question I dont do much paypal transactions.

You have a few avenues:
Paypal -- they have a dispute procedure. If they've processed a transaction for which you did not receive the material benefit of the fee, then you can dispute with them.
Source of Funds -- whatever the source of funds of the transaction was (credit card, bank transfer, etc.) might as well have a dispute procedure for you.
RIM: To lodge the dispute with RIM, do this:
Hi there!
Your inquiry needs to be sent exactly as follows. Go to this URL:
and fill out the form. Use, in the "Please select a component:" field, the AppWorld Billing/Payment selection. Any other selection will simply route you back anonymously to these public forums. If the form responds telling you that your PIN is invalid, then please report that fact back here as there is a separate resolution path for that issue.
I understand there is a soluction to this problem but would need to send private message because more information is needed. Please send.

I am currently attempting to edit an Evolve theme using pages (so that it looks more like a website and not a blog). I Cannot figure out how to remove the titles on the pages though.
An example is on my site http://theleanconsultinggroup.com/lean-in-the-ed - I would like the title "LEAN in the ED" to be associated with it so it would show up in the link of pages on the right-hand column, but I don't want the title on the actual page. (I tried blanking out the title by making it " ", like on http://theleanconsultinggroup.com/ , but it still leaves space for the blanked title.)
I know I probalby just have to blank something out in some php file, but which one?

Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Continuing his rehab from last September's Tommy John surgery, Angel Guzman threw 14 pitches (8 balls & 6 strikes) in an EXST Camp Day intrasquad game at Fitch Park this morning.
Guzman had previously thrown a "simulated game" last Friday and a "live" BP session on Monday.
Guzman faced four batters, walking Junior Lake on four pitches to start the game. Then an errant pick-off throw by Guzman allowed Lake to advance to 2nd base. Brandon Guyer grounded out to short on an 0-1 pitch, as Lake advanced to 3rd base with one out.
Drew Rundle then pulled a hard-hit ground double past 1st base on a 1-0 pitch, driving in Lake for the first run. Rundle stole third on the first pitch to clean-up hitter John Contreras, before Contreras hit a F-8 SF on a 3-2 pitch to finish Guzman's day (he was supposed to throw "around" 15 pitches).
As long as he has no setbacks from today's outing, Guzman will probably make his Cactus League Extended Spring Training game debut sometime next week
Recently converted to pitcher, ex-catcher Jake Muyco got into his first game action today, and struggled through his one inning of work, allowing two runs.
Today's intrasquad game also provided a rare glimpse of RHP Chris Huseby, who has been suffering from an EXTREME control problem since Minor League Camp that has limited him to bullpen sessions and one "live" BP session that went just so-so. .
One of the Cubs better pitching prospects coming into the 2008 season, Huseby was expected to start the year at the top of Peoria's starting rotation. But the 6'7 right-hander just can't find home plate.
It's very similar to what happened with Luke Hagerty last year, where his pitches either bounce in the dirt, or go over the catcher's head, or hit the batter. And it's the reason he has been held out of game action. He's just plain dangerous.
And today was a good example, as Huseby was yanked after just 11 pitches (only two strikes), an outing where he walked two, hit a batter (and almost hit two others), and threw two wild pitches.
Huseby probably will be assigned to Boise when the short season leagues begin play next month (with a 30-man roster, the Hawks can afford to stash away some extra pitchers), but he probably won't get much game action until he can find home plate. .
Today also marked the return of Cubs 2007 5th round pick Brandon Guyer to LF. Prior to today, Guyer (a Matt Murton clone) had been restricted to DH duty only while recovering from a fractured elbow.
Guyer will likely be assigned to Boise next month, although he could get moved up to Peoria before that if the Cubs feel the Chiefs need a right-handed hitting LF to platoon with Dylan Johnston.
As is sometimes necessary due to not having enough players available to staff two squads, the position players rotated between defense and offense without regard to "teams" in today's intrasquad game. Some of the players got more ABs than others, while others did not hit at all.
Here is the box score (such as it is):
Junior Lake, SS: 0-2 (R, BB, 2 K)
Brandon Guyer, LF: 0-1
Drew Rundle, RF: 1-1 (RBI, R, 2B, SB)
John Contreras, 1B: 1-1 (3 RBI, 3B, SF, CS)
George Matheus, 2B: 1-2 (R, HBP)
Gian Guzman, SS: 0-4 (R, BB)
Cesar Salazar, CF: 1-3 (RBI, BB)
Bryan Jost, 1B: 2-4 (2 RBI, 2 R, 2B, 2 K, SB)
Nelson Perez, RF: 1-3 (R, CS)
Jeffrey Rea, 2B: 0-2
Luis Bautista, C: 0-0 (R, HBP)
Alvaro Sosa, C: 0-1
Josh Vitters, 3B: DID NOT BAT (sore hand)
Kevin Soto, LF-CF: DID NOT BAT
Roberto Sabates and Carlos Perez warmed-up pitchers in the bullpen but did not get an AB, and Dwayne Kemp and Starlin Castro did not play.
1. Jake Muyco - 1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 1 WP 0/2 GO/FO)
2. Carlos Rojas - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K (1/1 GO/FO)
3. Ryan Searle - 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (2/0 GO/FO)
1. Angel Guzman - 0.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 0 K (1/1 GO/FO)
2. Chris Huseby - 0.0 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 2 WP
3. Eduardo Figueroa - 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (2/4 GO/FO)
Angel Guzman overthrow on pick-off attempt at 1B allowed runner to advance to 2B,
Junior Lake made errant throw trying to double runner off 2nd base after catching a line drive, and runner scored from 2nd base (the throw went into the RF corner):
Luis Bautista: 1-3 CS
Alvaro Sosa: 1-1 CS
WEATHER: Overcast with game-time highs in the 80's
ATTENDANCE: 3 (I've noticed that Camp Day usually doesn't draw quite as well as the other days)

Re: Ryan Harvey demoted to Daytona
what's the point?
great power stroke (insane power stroke)...too bad it pretty much only works on 60-90mph fastballs in BP/game.
killer arm, too.
still...looks like he's hit a developmental brick wall if he can't figure out AA pitching at this stage in his career.
The solution for Haggerty and Huseby's wildness
Let 'em pitch exclusively to Felix Pie in simulated games.
He'll swing at everything out of the zone and take anything in it and they'll both get their confidence back.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Guzman is quickly becoming the mythical beast of yore, akin to the Unicorn or Centaur. AZ Phil, what are the club's expectations for this oft - injured budding phenom? If he gets promoted to Peoria and/or AA before the season's over, will his TJ surgery be considered successful? Thanks in advance for responding.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
AZ Phil:
Thanks for a great report, as usual. You've probably seen enough of Angel Guzman to have an opinion--is their something in his delivery that has contributed to all his injuries, or does he just seem to you to have an especially fragile arm? Thanks.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
the weird thing about guzman, because of his injuries/rehab and adjustments, is that he's got about 1/2 dozen+ pitches out of multiple arm slots.
as far as what he's throwing now out of what slot, i dunno...but he's got a huge arsenal of possible stuff.
seen him throw fastballs out of 3/4 slot and sidearm...slider 3/4 and sidearm...overhand change and fastball...god only knows what else over the years...
what is he throwing now predominately?
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Too bad about Harvey. He's obviously got a little talent just strikes out WAY too much.
edmonds story with quotes...
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Demp for Cy Young?
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
At at least a return to the ASG?
Holliday might be on the market According to Rosenthal.
Could be an option if Edmonds doesnt work out. Holliday would be under Cubs control next year before he is a FA and Aaron Cook is a FA after this year so I could also imagine he would be on the block to. Maybe in a perfect world we could pull off
Cook and Holliday for Murton, Pie, Gallagher, Hill, Epat, Ceda, and Veal
Jimbo couldnt probably pull the trigger on the deal due to ownership, but adding Holliday would give us the a top 5 line-up in MLB history and Cook can help stablize the rotation. The deal would also fill COL needs in LF and 2b, give them a pitcher taylor made for Coors in Gallagher, some good pen arms in Ceda and Veal and a CF who can go it in that large park in Pie.
Re: Holliday might be on the market According to Rosenthal.
Holiday's 3-year Away split:
.281 / .343 / .466
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
I like the way the next series is shaping up. MKE and STL face the two best (by record) teams in the AL, while the Cubs face the mighty Pirates. Time to widen the lead!
Pittsburgh is on a roll now
I think they have won something like 7 out of their last 11.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Astros are currently in 2nd place, and on a serious roll, and they have played a lot more games on the road than at home.
Down 6-0 to Lincecum (sp) yesterday, and they score 4 in the 8th and one in the 9th to win it. Berkman is on fire, and has been for a while.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Chifan is right. Right now, the Pirates are not the same team as a couple weeks ago.
Even if the Cubs win 1 of 3,, its a 7-3 home stand.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Actually... they were playing decent baseball even when they were playing the Cubs earlier in the year.
If you take out the 6 losses against the Cubs, the team has a 20-15 record.
Re: Cub All Stars
Re: Cub All Stars
Dempster will be there if he keeps it up. Marmol deserves to go as well.IMHO
Re: Cub All Stars
I think they will take one starter from Cubs.
Marmol is intriguing, has there been any set up men who have been All Stars?
Re: Cub All Stars
Justin Duchscherer
Tom Gordon
Are the recent 3 that come to mind.
Re: Cub All Stars
Soto, Lee, Z should all be in without question.
But I would also say that Dempster should be in without question, and Fukudome, ARam, and Marmol all have very legitimate arguments to get in.
Fukudome is 4th among NL RF in OPS, plays excellent defense, and leads all of baseball in walks. And don't forget the power of the Japanese vote.
ARam is 2nd among NL 3b in OPS.
Re: Cub All Stars
Current VORP for NL First Basemen:
Berkman 42
Pujols 28
C. Jackson: 17
Derrek Lee: 16.6
I'd say Marmol, Z, Soto, Ramirez (as a backup to Chipper) would be deserving
Dempster (12th in VORP),Lee and Fukudome on the outskirts. Soriano still can get himself in the discussion.
Re: Cub All Stars
Yea... I looked after, and saw the 1b numbers. Lee has seen a significant drop in May.
And Berkman has been ridiculous.
And again... Fukudome may not necessarily have the numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was voted in as a starter. Or at least voted in as the final guy.
MH hit another home run last night for the I-Cubs. That makes three games in a row he homered.
Our erstwhile #3 SP RICH is on the HILL tonight at 7 PM.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Thanks, Phil. I really hope Guzman can put his injury history behind him; he's always had the stuff to be a major leaguer and I could see him contributing as a spot starter or out of the bullpen late in the season. I dread a late season rotation that includes Marquis. Having guys like Marshall, Gallagher, and Guzman to step up and take that spot would be great.
Reds attendance down 9%
Makes you wonder what they'll do for fans after Griffey Jr. hits #600.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Harvey is not the only guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona. Harvey probably has a better chance of pitching in the majors than that wide receiver does. Can the Cubs still trade Samardzija to an NFL team?
Samardzija's line yesterday:
4 innings, 10 hits, 6 runs, 6 ER, 5 walks, 1 K, 1 HR.
Plesac had an interesting point on the radio a few weeks ago
and that was that Shark has not been committed to baseball a 100% for years so he is actually behind the learning curve for what his age and college expirence might lead one to believe.
Re: guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona
Why stop with Harvey and Samardzija? The Smokies are 15-26 for a good reason.
Go Farm Go!
Re: guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona
wins and losses in minor league games?
last friday i saw jeff neimann...TB pimp...pitch 3ip of AAA ball then hand it over to the pen to help get the loss.
why 3ip of ball? cuz that's what he and the parent organization needed...not the team.
the concept of a "team" in the minor leagues is sketchy at best. its structured exercise of what's been worked on in practice, especially at the lower levels unless you already got your refinement down or the coaches don't care enough to tweak you anymore and are gonna let you sink/swim your own way.
what about the win? what about it...minor leagues aren't there to win games (psst, dont tell the fans).
Re:minor leagues aren't there to win games
Well, this appears to be true in the Cubs organization even if it is crazy talk.
Baseball is a zero-sum game. Somebody has to win and somebody else has to lose. But, following your premise, if no one is trying to win, then it's even more likely that the organization with the most talent and ability will win.
If winners and losers were determined only by luck then everyone would finish the season around .500, which is not the case.

FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

'Who Killed Santa?' still packs holiday punch
Neil Haven's "Who Killed Santa?" - being staged here for the fourth time - is among the final holiday shows to open in Milwaukee.
That's no accident. It's when we've already had one too many Christmas cookies that we're primed for the good time this show delivers, as it fosters sympathy for whoever stabbed Santa with a sharpened candy cane. »Read Full Article(1)
Times Cinema to reopen Dec. 28
The Times Cinema will reopen Friday with floodlight hitting the skies, a red carpet purportedly filled with paparazzi and "Django Unchained" on the screen.
The Times, at 5906 W. Vliet St., has been closed since March, when the lender for the building and other properties, including the Rosebud Cinema in Wauwatosa, began foreclosure proceedings.

A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers. This list spans the genre's generations with classics from the likes of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Gene Autry and Kitty Wells and updated holiday hits from Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and many more. Did I miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
I also tossed the music video of Kenny Rogers and Parton's "A Christmas to Remember" at the end of this post. The song isn't available on Spotify, but that's okay because the music video is so pricelessly unique that you just need to watch it to get the full experience. Check out Kenny and Dolly singing together in a ski lodge filled with stiff mannequins from a 1980s Christmas special. There's no explanation needed - it's just one of those quirky Christmas moments! »Read Full Blog Post

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to capture the order in which the windows I've opened using window.open are layered on top of each other. For example, if I open three windows, starting with the first on the bottom and the third on top, but I then focus on the second window, bringing it to the top, is there a way to capture the new window order (2 on top, then 3, then 1)? I know that window.top can give me the first one, but from there, without closing it, is there a way to tell what the next one underneath it is?
Thanks in advance,

Taxes And Capital Structure: A Study Of European Companies
We analyse the impact of tax policy on firms' leverage ratios in a balanced panel of 129 medium-sized listed European companies from 1993 to 2005. A general model of company leverage is applied within which King's tax ratios are used to capture tax policy changes, controlling for non-tax influences. Leverage measures studied include total, long-term and short-term debt. A generalized method of moments estimator is used to control for endogeneity. The results suggest that tax policy has a significant but small impact on firms' debt ratios and that non-debt tax shields are a substitute for debt in company activities.
