Law & Order: Criminal Intent (season 1)

The first season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, an American police procedural television series developed by Dick Wolf and René Balcer, began airing on September 30, 2001 on NBC, a national broadcast television network in the United States. Law & Order: Criminal Intent is the second spin-off of the long-running crime drama Law & Order, and follows the New York City Police Department's fictional Major Case Squad, which investigates high-profile murder cases. The first season comprises twenty-two episodes and concluded its initial airing on May 10, 2002. Four actors received star billing in the first season; Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Jamey Sheridan, and Courtney B. Vance.

Episodes depict Detectives Robert Goren (D'Onofrio) and Alexandra Eames (Erbe) as the squad's lead investigators. Captain James Deakins (Sheridan) is the detectives' direct supervisor and head of the Major Case Squad. Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver (Vance) often attempts to obtain confessions from the suspects, rather than taking them to trial. Law & Order: Criminal Intent focusses on the actions and motives of the criminals, and divides screen time equally between the suspects and victims, and the police's investigation. The season was filmed on location in New York City, although scenes set inside the Major Case Squad department were filmed in a studio at Chelsea Piers, Manhattan.

Jones (surname)

Jones is a surname of Welsh origins, meaning "John's", as in "John's son". It is most common in Wales and south central England. In Ireland the surname has been Gaelicized as MacSeoin.

History

It first appears on record as a surname in England in 1273 with the name "Matilda Jones". Others put the first known record of the surname Jones as 1279, in Huntingdonshire, England. Around the time of the union of Wales with England, the traditional Welsh system of patronymics was increasingly replaced by surnames. Furthermore, Christian names such as John which were common in England had become increasingly preferred to distinctively Welsh Christian names such as Meredudd and Llewelyn. Thus "ab Ioan" (and many variations) meaning "son of John" became the surname Jones in a large number of cases, making it a very frequently used surname.

20th and 21st centuries

Jones remains the most popular surname in Wales, borne by 5.75% of the population. The frequency in England is lower, at 0.75%, making it the second most common surname, after Smith. The 2000 United States census provides a frequency of 0.50%, providing an overall rank of fifth most frequent with 57.7% White, 37.7% Black, 1.4% Hispanic, 0.9% Native American. Jones was the fourth most common surname in the 1990 U.S. Census, behind only Smith, Johnson and Williams. The popularity of the Jones surname in North America is in part owed to the use of Jones as an anglicized or shortened form of various cognate and like-sounding surnames from various European Languages. These names are thought to include the German Jans, Jentz, Janz and possibly Janson, as well as the Scandinavian Jönsson, Johansen and Jonasen among some others, along with Polish Janowski, French Jean and Jacques, Irish MacSeáin, English Johnson, Spanish Jimenez and possibly Gomez, Italian Giannio, Serbian Jovanovic, Dutch Janzen and Scots Johnston (A habitational name).

Joliet JackHammers

The Joliet JackHammers were a professional baseball team based in Joliet, Illinois, in the United States. The JackHammers were a member of the Northern League, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball. From 2002 to 2010, the JackHammers played their home games at Silver Cross Field.

History

Their first season was the 2002 season. Their first playoff appearance came in that season.

The 2008 Jackhammers were managed by one time Arizona Diamondback managerial candidate Wally Backman. The primary radio announcer was Jon Versteeg.

The Jackhammers, in response to extremely low attendance in 2009, had a total makeover to start the 2010 season. Everything, from the roster and management, all the way down to the uniforms, was re-done. Their offseason advertising campaign was also very aggressive, and included everything from newspaper ads to billboards. The Jackhammers made the playoffs for the first time in 8 years, making the season a success performance-wise. They still lagged in attendance, averaging about 3,500 fans a game, 4th in the league.

Discography

James Lyman

James "Jammer" Lyman is a fictional character from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. His character was centrally featured in the webisodic Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance.

Background

Jammer was a flight deck specialist aboard the Battlestar Galactica. His duty fatigues were a different color from everyone else's.

In "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance", a group of online episodes, Jammer was convinced by an Aaron Doral copy to help the Cylons "prevent bloodshed", and was given a small device that would let him talk to Doral about any more Resistance activities. In webisode 10, as Duck goes to join the New Caprica Police (NCP) as a spy, Jammer can be seen walking off with the chip in his hand after a meeting with Colonel Tigh and Chief Tyrol. Jammer became the captain of the NCP, and a collaborator with the Cylon occupation forces on New Caprica. At the same time, he continued to act as a member of the New Caprica Resistance.

Jammer believed that he joined the NCP to get Cylon Centurions off the street, to lessen tensions on the planet, and to prevent further over-reactions by patrolling Cylons, as happened at the Temple Massacre. However, his actions began wearing on his conscience, especially when he found out that Cally Tyrol was on a list the Cylons have set for execution. At first, he asked Sharon "Boomer" Valerii to see if she could let her go, but Boomer said she couldn't do anything about it. Jammer seemed to be awkward about talking to Boomer because he was friends with her when she was (unknowingly) masquerading as a human aboard Galactica. Boomer found it easy to talk to him. Before the mass execution was interrupted by Colonial fighters, Jammer, in his NCP uniform and mask, allowed Cally to make an escape by cutting off her restraints.
