TAPPER: The clip I just played was actually one of your ads, but let's get to that Romney ad that you're talking about...
GINGRICH: No, no, but I'm talking about the earlier -- I'm talking about -- I'm talking about the clip you showed of him campaigning yesterday.
TAPPER: Oh, OK.
GINGRICH: What he said yesterday, this wasn't true.
TAPPER: There...
GINGRICH: And so at some point, I don't quite -- I don't quite -- to be honest, Jake, I don't quite know how you deal with an opponent, because you want to deal with them with civility, you want to deal with them in a positive way. I want to talk about big issues.
I talked about space this week, which I think is important for the country's future. I talked about housing. I talked about creating jobs. I talked about the record I had working with Ronald Reagan to create jobs and the record I had working with Bill Clinton to create jobs. We talked about welfare reform as the first great entitlement reform.
There are all sorts of positive things. We have a proposal on Social Security which would allow every young American the option of having a personal Social Security account on the model of Galveston, Texas, and the country of Chile. So there are a lot of positive things.
And if you'll notice, when you get outside the zone where Romney carpet-bombs with Wall Street money, and you look at what's happening in the rest of the country, I'm ahead in all three national polls that were released this week. I'm ahead by a big margin, because when you come to positive ideas, I represent real change in Washington, I represent unleashing the spirit of the American people to get us back as a country, rebuilding the country we love. And when we get to a positive idea campaign, I consistently win.
It's only when he can mass money to focus on carpet-bombing with negative ads that he gains any traction at all.
TAPPER: Let's talk about one of those big ideas. You in Florida gave a big policy speech in which you called for a colony on the moon by the end of your second term. As you know, that speech has become fodder for some late-night comedians. Here's Jon Stewart.
STEWART: A moon base? Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is "Give me eight years and I'll have a (bleep) moon base"? What did you -- did you start with Death Star and you got kind of reined in?
TAPPER: OK, and on a more serious note, here's Mitt Romney at the debate responding to that idea.
ROMNEY: I spent 25 years in business. If I had a business executive come to me and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I'd say, "You're fired."
TAPPER: I wanted to give you -- I wanted to give you an opportunity to respond to the criticism. This is a side of you, that grandiosity that Rick Santorum referred to you, that does make some Republicans uneasy, people who want to support you but who think that you open yourself up to ridicule with ideas like this. Do you have any response to the criticism?

Lingo: Fopcorn
Given our culture's obsession with the finer points of mixology--cosmopolitans as well as chromosomes--it's not surprising that the discrete combinatory of language would inspire different mixological theories as well. If ideas create a "buzz," then what can we make of this concoction?
*The occasional blue-eyed Berber in the Maghreb is sometimes said to be the descendant of Vandals who invaded the Phoenician colony at what is now Salé in the fifth century, or of Europeans captured by the corsairs (also from Salé!) in the seventeenth century and brought home to be absorbed into the gene pool of the region.
*According to Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch, one theory on the origin of distillation in the British Isles suggests that Phoenicians brought the technology all the way from the Mediterranean, where it was invented by those ancient seafarers to desalinize water.
*Famous linguist Geoffrey Nunberg reminds us that the words looting and thug come from Hindi. "It's striking," he writes in The Years of Talking Dangerously, "how many of the words we use for criminality are borrowed from other languages, as if these were alien notions--marauder from French, desperado from Spanish, bandit from Italian, assassin from Arabic, vandal from the Vandals."
Exhibit 4: According to Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue, by linguist and pundit John McWhorter, the motley collection of foreign words in our lexicon--like blue eyes in a brown-eyed population--is neither unusual nor very interesting. "Over half of Japanese words are from Chinese.... Almost half of Urdu's words are Persian and Arabic. Albanian is about 60 percent Greek, Latin, Romanian, Turkish, Serbian, and Macedonian." Rather, it is the subtle structural differences between English and other Germanic languages, and between English and other Indo-European languages, that make English interesting; that make it, in his words, "miscegenated" and "weird." This in itself is a weird premise for a linguistics book, but McWhorter, a specialist in Creole languages, knows he is taking a gamble. The stakes: a revised "story of English," with emphasis placed not on the accommodating nature of English but on the liberties taken by its marauders, desperados and vandals.
A comparative look at the grammars of English and its nearest kin reveals small but telling differences. (McWhorter offers the helpful mnemonic of Volvos, Vermeers, Volkswagens and Volcanoes for the Scandinavian, Dutch, German and Icelandic languages and their variants that are closest to English.) Why did all the conjugational, gender and case endings disappear over the centuries in English while surviving in those other tongues? Why do we have the present participle and they don't? (We say, "I'm eating;" they say, like most every other language, "I eat.") Why do we even have the word do? Do hardly ever does any real work grammatically, which is why McWhorter relentlessly calls it "meaningless do." (As he quips, "shitte happens.")
These grammatical changes are more like technological changes, distilling English (it really is an easier language to learn than most, McWhorter insists) and allowing us to reverse-engineer probable historical scenarios. "Meaningless do" and the present participle, it turns out, are remnants of the original Celtic language that wormed its way into vernacular English through native wealhs subjugated by the invading Anglo-Saxons. Very few etymologically Celtic words survive (possibilities include brag, brat, curse and baby), but structurally we speak a smidgen of Welsh and Cornish every day.
What about the vanished conjugational and case and gender suffixes? Where did they go? McWhorter's theory is that they vanished after the Viking invasions starting in 787 AD. A number of other things, like gendered nouns, the be-perfect and reflexivity were also dropped from the language at the same time. A small tic in the dative plural of a northern dialect spoken by Danelaws (Vikings) convinces McWhorter that the mangled English spoken by these newcomers became, in time, standard English.
But even before English distinguished itself from its nearest kin, it was, in Proto-Germanic form, equipped with certain kinks that set it apart from the rest of the Proto-Indo-European languages that surrounded it. For instance: it had only four case endings instead of a sumptuous eight. Uniquely, it conjugated some of its verbs with a single vowel change, like drink/drank/drunk. But most obvious of all were the phonetic substitutions: p's, t's and k's were turned into f's, th's and h's, which McWhorter characterizes as "hissy" sounds displacing "stops." It's why we say father instead of pater, three instead of tres or trois. "Imagine a generation starting to say 'fopcorn' instead of popcorn--weird." Well, as it happens, hissy sounds and single-vowel-change conjugations are prominent features of Semitic languages. And as with the Vikings, the case endings could have vanished as a result of invaders learning the language awkwardly and eventually simplifying it.
Finally, a sizable number of seafaring words in Proto-Germanic--sea, ship, strand, sail, carp, eel--are not to be found in other Proto-Indo-European languages. McWhorter concludes, following the linguist Theo Vennemann, that the Semitic Phoenicians reshaped Proto-German. We have no proof that they sailed as far north as the Danish/German isthmus. But they were secretive about ship routes, and there is the little matter of a Phoenician cooking pot dredged up from the North Sea off Schleswig-Holstein province, and an Old German magic spell that references a mysterious deity with phonetic resemblance to Baal 'Addir ("God great") of the Phoenicians.
McWhorter makes no mention of the beer connection, though if Phoenicians brought the first stills to the British Isles, one imagines that those beermaking Mesopotamians brought some delicious recipes to the Proto-Germans. If you're going to miscegenate a language, it's probably better to get it drunk first.
There's something quixotic about McWhorter's narrative. It was conceived as a revisionist parry against the popular orthodox histories like McCrum, Cran and MacNeil's The Story of English, which dismisses out of hand any Celtic undertones to the language, and possibly Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct, which glosses over the language differences that McWhorter wants to ascribe to Phoenicians. This quixotism is that of the language nerd who wants to, as he puts it, play Clue while everyone else wants to play Monopoly.
But McWhorter's ulterior motive is more serious. While we pay lip service to the reality that language is changed and shaped over time by its speakers on the ground--including immigrants--language nerds tend also to be fastidious about its use, thinking that it can achieve a pitch of "perfection" by following "the rules." (Since McWhorter persists impishly with the miscegenation metaphor, we might hear in "the rules" an echo of the dating manual whose ultimate aim is assortative mating and offspring remarkable for being unremarkable--Strunk and White babies, we might say.) Some language nerds even take a pride in English that conflates language, literature and country into one magical monolith, making all of us symbolic subjects of a bygone Empire.
So when McWhorter recasts the history of English as the secret history of adult learners of a second language--namely Celts, Vikings and possibly even ancient Phoenicians--it's a blow to that magical monolith. Strunk and White babies are the descendants of thugs.
Full disclosure: I am a child of adult learners of a second language, and, I am told by those in the know, I spoke Portuguese before English. Not that I have an ethnic connection to Portuguese--it was the only mutually intelligible language between my mother's Russian family, who had been displaced persons sent to Brazil after World War II, and my father's Hungarian family, who had fled to Brazil after the Communist takeover. Four languages were spoken regularly around me for as long as my grandparents were alive, with ancillary relatives bringing Polish, Ukranian and even German to the Christmas dinner table. McWhorter would no doubt delight at the clash of Proto-Indo-European and quasi-Phoenician Proto-German pronunciation (fopcorn!) surviving in a joke from my early childhood: my dad had a buddy who poked fun at his accent and his signature with the greeting, "Ah, if it isn't my friend, Zsigmund Mlinko the Turd." I could never quite relate to struggles for a hyphenated identity--I had too many hyphens. But like the countless mongrels whose historical sound patterns I ventriloquize, I knew the language would always have me. No matter how weird you are, English really is weirder.

Whining & Dining: Resolution destination
Healthy but not skinny is OK by me
It's that time of year. This is when we swear to lose weight and to exercise faithfully. I'm no exception to this resolution and was just able to secure two standing weekly appointments with a trainer I've used and adored in the past. I'm psyched!
But I know losing weight will take more than a couple of hours of hard work a week. It's my diet, and that's where the big sigh comes in. Face it, a bite of an appetizer here, a couple of shared entrees there and just a taste of a dessert -- well, it adds up. Up to a shocking number on the scale, I'll tell you that much (although I have discovered that you can drop 20 pounds immediately by moving the scales from the bathroom floor to the rug in the bedroom).
So anyway, I'm doing this: At home we will eat a spartan diet, and I'll take my lunch to work. Today I have a big salad of lettuce, chopped vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and red cabbage, sliced carrots, green beans and lean protein in the form of chicken and cottage cheese.
The salad will get old. The grilled fish and chicken will get old at home, too. But I'll still be eating out two or three times a week, so it's critical I stick to my plan when I'm the one who controls the meal. And I know myself well enough to know that too much deprivation will lead to failure, so I'll be experimenting with ways to make more healthful food taste delicious (see tips in our story at right) and I'll share them with you. Share your tips with me, too.
I also know I'm not the only person who wants to shed a few pounds and regain better health. When I wrote about this a few months ago, so many of you wrote to encourage me and to commiserate. I've decided that, whenever possible, I will offer both lean and lush options at the restaurants I review.
I have to be realistic: Skinny is not my goal -- I love to eat too much for that. I just want to be healthier, so I can live longer and enjoy my friends, family and good food and wine for many years to come.
Thursday wine
Speaking of friends and wine, on Jan. 8 we kick off the second year of the Whining & Dining online wine tasting. Last year, we learned a thing or two, and we'll put those lessons to good use this year.
One change you'll see is that we'll taste from one country or region each month. We're starting with Italy, and John Vego with Buster's is our first expert. We'll drink a 2007 Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera, a red from the Piedmont region that would make a spectacular companion to a plate of prosciutto, salami, cheeses and so on.
There are visitors from various wineries coming in town next month and right now we're trying to see if their visits coordinate with our tastings. I'll give you the full rundown for January next week. Meanwhile, you now know our first wine.
Sign on to whiningdining.com every Thursday at 7 p.m. to join our tastings. But remember -- no tasting this week.

Five Ways to Get Outside More
Fun outdoor activities make My Daily 3 a breeze
- With warmer temps ahead, it'll get easier and easier to utilize the outdoors for exercise that just feels like fun. Plus, it's the perfect time to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather!
Here are a few of our favorite ideas:
1. Walk your errands or plan to meet a friend. Structure your weekend to-do list around a few walkable tasks or make a date with a friend to catch up at a local coffee shop. You can complete your chores while soaking in some fresh air and sunshine!
2. Take a hike. After all, hiking is just walking with a great view. Take a break from the treadmill and head to your local state park for a day trip that will boost you out of the exercise doldrums. Choose sturdy shoes and a trail that is appropriate for your fitness level, and bring a friend along for safety.
3. Have a backyard dance party. Throw an impromptu boogie session any day of the week! Put on some tunes, lock the Wii away, open the windows and spend some bopping around to your all-time favorites. It's like an outdoor jam session of Just Dance, but no one's keeping score.
4. Be one of the kids. Hit the park and toss a Frisbee, fly a kite or pump your legs on a swing to see how high you can go. Let your inner child out to play!
5. Walk after dinner with the family. Round up the kids, the dogs, the reluctant spouses and get out for a walk around the neighborhood. Your body will have time to tell your brain it is full after dinner, and you have a chance to catch up and laugh with the ones you love.
The best way to make exercise a part of your life is to find activities that you enjoy. What are your favorite outdoor activities?
Results not typical. On Nutrisystem, you can expect to lose at least 1-2 lbs. per week.

Updated 04/15/2014
An education in traditional Lyonnnais silks and velvets, this textile-swathed Vieux Lyon classic—in a Renaissance-period convent with an impressive Florentine-style courtyard—is also surrounded by some of the city's prettiest traboules; most eyes are drawn upward to study the cylindrical rose-washed tower that looms over all, while the glass-roof restaurant—a former chapel—offers views of the hanging garden overhead. Each guest room is named for a famous silk-weaving concern and decorated in its goods; taffetas, plissés, and velvets cover walls, windows, and beds in daring, even startling styles. The signature specials at the restaurant—grilled duck breast, scallops roasted over coals, Charlotte au Chocolat—are well worth all the extra louis d'or. Six apartments with kitchenettes in an adjacent annex provide excellent value for longer stays.

Showtime Enlists Damian Lewis to Star in 'Homeland' Opposite Claire Danes
British actor Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) has signed on to star in the leading role opposite Claire Danes in SHOWTIME's new, one-hour drama pilot HOMELAND. Lewis will play U.S. Marine Sergeant Scott Brody, a POW who miraculously returns home after nearly a decade of captivity in Iraq. Additionally, Laura Fraser (A Knight's Tale) has been cast in the role of Jessica, Brody's intrepid and complicated wife. Diego Klattenhoff (Men in Trees) will play Mike Faber, a Marine colonel and Brody's best friend who has become close with Jessica over the years that he has been MIA. HOMELAND begins production in January 2011 and will be executive produced by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, who recently served as executive producers on the long-running series 24.
Lewis is most well-known for his Golden Globe(R)-nominated performance as the American World War II hero, Major Richard Winters, in the Emmy(R)-winning mini-series Band of Brothers, and for his portrayal of Soames Forsyte in the acclaimed production of The Forsyte Saga, Series I and I. Most recently, he was nominated for a Gotham Award for his work as the title character in Keane, and also starred in the television series Life for NBC.
HOMELAND, which was written by Howard Gordon, Alex Gansa and Gideon Raff, centers on an American soldier (Lewis) taken prisoner during the Iraq invasion in 2003. Left for dead, he miraculously returns to the U.S. after years in captivity. Carrie Anderson (Danes), a driven CIA officer battling her own psychological demons, becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to his re-capture was a setup and that this national hero may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil. Mandy Patinkin plays Saul, a veteran CIA Division Chief who is Carrie?s boss and mentor.

ItŌĆÖs not often that a Class 3A team gets the chance to play against a Class 5A team like Odessa High because it is usually such a daunting task to compete well, espec-ially after three straight losses by a combined score of 42-7.
But Sweetwater proved up to the challenge Saturday when it hosted the Broncos and won, 4-2, to snap its three-game skid.
Brandon Howell threw a complete-game win, and he and Greg Aiken each collected a pair of RBI as Sweetwater got back to .500 (7-7-1) for the season with its win over Odessa (8-15) in the non-district game.
Three Sweetwater High School boys traveled Saturday to Abilene to compete in the state powerlifting championships, and all three placed in their respective Division II weight classes.
Sam Nemir led the way as he placed sixth in the 181-pound class with a lift of 1,315 pounds in the three categories.
Nemir, a senior at SHS who along with junior Ryan Linebaugh was making his second trip to state, had a 490-pound squat, 335-pound bench press and a 490-pound dead lift.

Men win, women fall
Javs pick up win over Storm
DURANT, OKLAHOMA -- It was a game of runs between the Texas A&M-Kingsville and Southeastern Oklahoma State University men's basketball teams, but in the end it was the Javelinas coming out on top 66-58 in Lone Star Conference cross over action on Thursday night.
The Javelinas (9-5) opened the game by outscoring the Savage Storm (3-12) 19-7 in the first 8:29 of the game and close the game on a 17-3 run over the final 7:20.
The Javelinas play their final LSC North Division opponent on Saturday when they travel to East Central University.
Javelina win streak snapped
DURANT, OKLAHOMA -- The Texas A&M-Kingsville women's basketball team could not have asked for a better start to their game at Southeastern Oklahoma State, but the finish did not go as planned as the team went ice-cold from the field making only four of their last 16 shots in a 73-64 loss that snapped a five-game winning streak.
The Javelinas (9-5) jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first four minutes of the game and held a 33-22 lead with 3:47 remaining in the first half after a Kayla Naylor 3-pointer. The Savage Storm (9-4) closed the half on a 13-4 run to close the gap to two points as the Javelinas led 37-35 at the break.
In the second half, the Storm took the lead on a Destiny Brown jumper and they would not relinquish it. The Javelinas had a number of chances to regain the lead, but were unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
The Javelinas are back in action Saturday a at East Central University.

They say Rev. James Close is not much for getting hugs, but whether or not he wants them, this weekend he is apt to get squeezed plenty.
Close, 70 and battling cancer, is retiring from Mercy Home for Boys & Girls after 33 years at the helm of the venerable, 119-year-old orphanage. On Sunday, 1,500 invited guests are expected at a 1 p.m. mass at Holy Family Church in his honor.Seen as a local hero, Close is also something of a national legend to the non-profit agencies that come to him for advice on how to raise millions.
Of course, you might not get a lot of hugs for raising money, but you do for raising kids, especially if those kids come to you broken and you send them out into the world whole.
Along with a crush of dignitaries, scores of alumni who grew up under Close's supervision are expected on Sunday--people who as adults look back with extreme gratitude for their time at Mercy Home and say meeting Close was the most important event in their lives.
One of those is Edward Gamble, who came to Close as a teenage runaway and now, at 40, is a husband and father working as a special investigator for the Illinois attorney general's office. Gamble vowed to embrace Close on Sunday, like it or not.
"Father Close is not the kind of guy you can walk up to and hug," said Gamble. "He likes to joke and is friendly, but you shake his hand and punch him in the shoulder, that's what he likes, not so much hugs. I hug him, anyway, and I want to give him a hug Sunday."
Close never wanted this job. Ordained in 1963, he spent 10 happy years as a priest at St. John Brebeuf in Niles. At 37, he was a tall, physically imposing man with jovial blue eyes and satisfied with parish work.
But Cardinal John Cody interrupted that dream, summoning Close to his office in July 1973. The no-nonsense cardinal came to the point. Rev. Edward "Jake" Kelly, who had headed the home for nearly four decades, was dying of cancer, and Cody wanted Close to take over the home immediately.
Close, who was barely aware of Mercy, was stunned and disheartened at the prospect.
"I am a chicken, at heart," he said. "The next day I told Cody that, after a night of prayer and reflection, I had decided I could not take the job. `Well,' he said, `I prayed and reflected on this last night, too, and you are going to the Mission of Our Lady of Mercy. Tomorrow.'"
The home he inherited had been taking in boys since 1887. It was a three-story building at 1140 W. Jackson Blvd. amid gritty factories and warehouses.
With no experience in child care or running a residential institution, Close had 89 troubled, unruly adolescent boys to look after, many there as a last resort before reform school.
"It took me a year and a half," he said, "before I could begin to think about a long-range plan of what needed to be done."
In 1934, when Kelly took over the home, the Depression had eaten away at most of Mercy's income sources. So Kelly collected phone directories from cities across the country and, every night, made each boy in the home find a likely Catholic name and pen a hand-written appeal for funds.
It was a pioneering effort at direct-mail fundraising. Those who sent money began to get the home's newsletter, The Waifs' Messenger. Studying the newsletter's mailing list 40 years later, Close realized the home had built an emotional bond with hundreds of donors who still sent money, year after year.
Close decided to go back to school--not for a degree in social work or psychology but for an MBA at Notre Dame.
"I saw that there was a very significant business aspect to what we were doing," said Close. "I decided that I could hire social workers to run our programs with kids, but that I wanted to manage the home."
And that is what he has done ever since.

Personality correlates of resident assistant effectiveness
Frazer, Douglas Lee
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectDormitories--Staff.; Residence counselors.
The problem: The problem was to determine the relationships between selected personality charac teristics and other predictors, and resident assistant effectiveness. Procedures: The sample included eight male and eleven female volunteers selected for RA positions at Drake University in Spring 1981. Predictors were Personality Research Form, Form AA subscales, job referecces, selection interview items, age, and GPA, obtained prior to the conclusion of the 1981 RA selection process. The Drake Resident Assistant Evaluation Form was used to measure "RA effectiveness" from the perspective of an RA's peers living in a residence hall. Peer evaluation ratings were obtained in November 1981. Non-parametric statistical tests were employed in a simple correlation design to analyze the data and to disclose relationships between predictors and the criterion. Findings: RA's did not differ greatly from most college students in "normal" personality needs, and male and female RA groups differed significantly from each other on two of forty-seven predictors. For males, scores on the PRF-AA Exhibition subscale, and interview item ratings on "Assertive" and "Community Minded" each correlated +.71 with DRAEF scores. For females, DRAEF scores correlated -.68 with PRF-AA Affiliation subscale scores, -.65 with Nurturance subscale scores, and -.68 with interview item ratings on "Comunication." No other predictors correlated significantly with the criterion. Conclusions: (1) For males, the PRP-AA Exhibition subscale is a significant predictor of RA ffectiveness. For females, the subscales Affiliation and Nurturance are significant predictors. (2) For males, the selection interview items "Assertive" and "Community Minded" are significant predictors. For females, the item "Communication" is a significant predictor. (3) Age, GPA, and job recommendations are not significant predictors for males or females. Recommendations: RA selection criteria should be constructed separately from, and validated regularly against, evaluation criteria. Age, job references, and GPA, although showing insignificant predictive value, should not be excluded from RA selection processes. Sex differences should be considered in identifying significant predictors of RA effectiveness. Functions of RA's should be communicated clearly to residence hall students. Periodic research is needed to identify components of RA effectiveness from a residence hall peer group perspective. Future research should incorporate larger sample sizes.

Ben Stein's Diary
Beverly Hills Night
Amid the jasmine, the swimming pool, and the Lakers.
I awakened in a fine hotel room at the Hilton of the Americas in Houston, one of my absolutely favorite cities. I was up at 6 AM, Houston time, which is 4 AM my time. I am sort of still asleep thinking that I am dreaming until I have my morning toast. Then I am awake. I love toast. Also orange juice.
Anyway, I made my way down to the lobby to meet a lovely, capable young woman named Adrienne from The Washington Speakers' Bureau. She escorted me over to a large meeting room at the next door convention center.
I waited just a few minutes to speak to the men and women of the International Dairy, Deli, and Bakery Association. I am so perfect for these people they cannot even imagine. I do all of the grocery shopping in my little family. I buy cheese, of many different kinds, sliced packaged meats and poultry, bagels, immense quantities of eggs, pre-made fried chicken. Milk. Bacon. It is insane how much dairy, deli and bakery stuff I buy.
The speech went well. I try to keep them laughing until the very end, then leave them with an uplift about the men and women who fight our wars and patrol our streets and put out the fires and guard the prisoners and teach the kids and parent the autistic.
It all went well, and then I strolled around the exhibit hall for a while. Great, great cookies, cheese, chips, dip, and the best of all, at the Pilgrim's Pride booth, fantastically good fried chicken filets. Wow. I contemplated staying overnight just to eat more of those filets. They were so good it was sinful.
However, duty calls. I rode over to the airport, waited while thunderstorms rumbled through -- standard for Houston -- boarded my flight next to a female UPS truck driver who looked extremely sure of herself.
The weather in Beverly Hills was perfect when I got home. The temperature was about 72, with a slight hint of ocean moisture and a gentle breeze. Our front path has immense roses, which were open to greet me. The house is not particularly large, but it has a lot of nice flowers and the only grassy lawn on the block. Everyone else has put in parking lots for his Bentleys. But I don't have no Bentley and don't even care to have one, as Bob Dylan might have said.
I greeted the housekeeper, our wonderful Rosa (who has a Lexus and a home with a swimming pool and hard working, dutiful kids), and my feeble old dogs, who fall over if you even blow on them. I love them more each day.
Then I walked one short block down Carmelita, the street on our south to Rexford, the street just east of us. The air smelled sweetly, insistently of night blooming jasmine, which actually smells great starting in the late afternoon. It is a smell I associate with my time at UC, Santa Cruz, 37 years ago, when all the girls loved my thin, hip, long haired, Republican self and I didn't have to buy them cars or bribe them or anything. There were night blooming jasmine all over the campus of College V.
The houses were immaculately landscaped, Bentleys everywhere, that fabulous breeze (why do breezes feel so good ?), and the slight tang of the Pacific in the air.
I felt as if I were in paradise.
I stopped at the crosswalk at Santa Monica Boulevard and Rexford for the crossing light to come on. Every person who passed waved to me, beeped to me, shouted out my name, shouted out, "Where's Shaq" or "Clear Eyes" or "Bueller, Bueller." Lots of people just said, "Hey, Ben."
I love it.
I crossed the street, then walked into the Beverly Hills Library, a fine, modern structure, up a long flight of steps and thought, "I am about to vote. I am about to do something that human beings are rarely allowed to do. I am doing something that did not exist until America. I am doing something that Marines died for on Okinawa and Pelelieu and sailors drowned for and soldiers bled to death for and airmen were blown to pieces for. I am doing this with a vengeance."
I walked into the polling room, and saw a familiar face. It was Judge Nancy Claypool, the lovely woman jurist who had officiated at the marriage of our son and his bride, Kitty. We talked cheerfully and then I voted. It was interesting. I was in the room about 20 minutes and did not see one Democrat voting. As Beverly Hills becomes more Iranian-Jewish, it is becoming politically conservative.
I talked for a while to a beautiful poll watcher, who turned out to be Judge Claypool's mother.
Then I walked back out, on a cloud. How lucky can one man be? How BLESSED. Not luck. BLESSINGS.
I went home and changed into my bathing suit and waded into my fabulous pool. Then I swam black and forth, smelling the night blooming jasmine, the chlorine, blown onto me by that perfect breeze.
After a while, I started blessing and praying for our armed forces with every stroke. I thought of my nephew, Paul Landau, a well-known historian about Africa. He lives in D.C. and also loves to swim. "It's the closest there is to flying," he told me recently and wow, is he right.
I took a shower, got dressed, walked up the steps to my office. The evening sun was sending its last rays onto my tile and stucco stairs. The dogs were right behind me.
I slept for a short while, then watched the Lakers-Celtics playoff game. What a great game. I love especially Pau Gasol of the Lakers. Spanish guy, tough as nails. Nobody pushes him around. Most of the players on both sides are black, of course. They are so talented, so smart, so determined, it is as if they were beyond human. To think that within the lifetime of my great grandparents, men and women like this were routinely owned by people, could be worked to death, could be beaten, raped, had no rights at all. It is incredible. How horrible and how far we have come. To think that in my lifetime Jews like me were consistently murdered just for the "crime" of existing, is blood curdling. Nothing quite like that could happen again, could it? Only in a year if Iran gets the bomb. Well, no point in worrying. Mr. Obama has it well in hand. Hahaha.
The game fluctuated wildly and at the end, The Lakers won. I LOVE THE LAKERS.
I had some leftovers and just thought, "This has been a perfect game. PERFECT. I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God."
I slept happily with my Brigid by my side. No one dares think how late it is. Certainly I don't.

Modest article on measuring light with a metre.
Sekonic blog
I think he can't spell "meter :)
No, he knows how to spell.
Yes, the wrong meter is annoying, especially for us metric folk... Otherwise, the article is interesting!
you're wrong: Bob's Sekonic is a French model, see: http://www.sekonic.com/downloads/C-5...ual_French.pdf
Also called: "un instrument demesure de la lumière".
And a beautiful language it is, French! I'm still sorry I didn't learn it properly in High School.
If you don't know what French sounds like, watch the movie "Intouchables" (French version with English subtitles). You'll laugh your "chaussettes" off.
Attachment 69339
Hi Bob,
I like your conclusion in the article: "Even with metering, pinhole photography is not an exact process, which makes it somewhat artistically unique, challenging but enjoyable. I believe there is something significant to be said for the immediate unknown for patience for critical thinking for anticipation when waiting for paper or film to be processed."
I totally agree. Using digital aids isn't forbidden (not even for artists) but in the end, it still is only an end to a mean (or whatever the phrase is...). Pinhole is a way of live, not an technique.
My only problem with (most of) the light meters is being unable to set for ISO 1 and f/512, thus having to make do with tables, calculating, etc.
I now use a simple app (see also: http://www.apug.org/forums/groups/pi...otography.html) or even better: guestimation. If you use your pinhole camera often enough, you'll get the hang of it.
It worked well for me at my shoot on WPPD 2013.
But it is always nice to be able to measure with a proper light meter, especially when I use a camera like my Leica III (1936) or my Bronica SQ-B.
Every photographer should have a handheld light meter, just for the sake of it....
I myself use Gossen light meters. The Gossen Digisix is very small and can even be attached onto your camera.
Attachment 69340
It's amazing what people will overlook.
Here is his first paragraph, quoted directly :
That is not how you spell "meter" when referring to a measuring device.Quote:
Originally Posted by Bob St. Cyr

In his next paragraph he reverts to conventional spelling of "meter", however, but then goes on to use "meter" and "metre" indifferently throughout the rest of the article.
Why is there such a fuss over one single word.
Unfortunately, you are missing the point about the article.
It was about one man's experience measuring light for making pinhole exposures.
Sorry for spelling one word wrong ... does it affect the content of the article?
Maybe Bob should just keep all his experiences, skills and knowledge to himself ... silence is golden I guess.
Hi all,
I do it (maybe) in a little more practical way:
- My pinhole camera (Zero 45) has many different focal lengths and pinhole diameter combinations, and
- My meter measures up to F32. (Sekonic L-208)
- I meter for F32 then multiply this with a factor determined before (more on this below), and then
- If the resulting exposure time exceeds 1 sec. I further adjust it for reciprocity failure using this (Ilford) formula: New time = Calculated time ^ 1.48 or in Excel notation: New time = POWER(Calculated time, 1.48)
It's hard to remember and calculate each factor, therefore I prepared a simple Excel chart, printed it, and had it laminated with PVC. I keep this chart (and a scientific calculator) with the camera all the time...
See the chart (and the two formulas that I've used) below:
Formula #1:
Attachment 69553
Formula #2:
Attachment 69554
Hope this helps if you ever need to make your own practical exposure calculation charts,
P.S. Beware, the reciprocity failure correction formula applies only to Ilford B&W films!
I can't see how one little word could be so annoying ... I just don't get it.
Is there no substance to the article.
Is this forum part of the issue I wonder.
I think it come down to the fact the basically people are rude. It doesn't matter what work somebody put into some thing people will find the smallest issue and harp on it.

This is my first swim video. I selected it because all the others advertised seem to be about swimming faster. This video starts with basics to help someone like me who can swim but never was taught to swim with proper techniques. I look at the video the day before I swim, most of the time just before I leave home to go to the athletic club. The instructions are terrific because you can do what you see on the video as instructed and see that it works. The instructions are simple to understand. Getting the technique right is up to the swimmer.

Your comment has been posted.
Watched pieces several times so far, and some of the practice exercises given are very helpful in improving technique.
In triathlons, the swim has always been my slowest event, so I'm using this DVD to improve my stroke, increase my swim confidence, and hopefully gain some speed. It shows a step by step breakdown of the stroke to practice in increments.
I view this CD frequently---at least weekly prior to my first workout. It's a great way to refresh on fundamentals with emphasis on good techniques. There are language ques in the DVD that serve as reminders of the proper swim techniques.
Not that great
Real useful stroke drills. I swim with more finnese, not beating the water into submission.
I loved it, it's helped me out so much. Swimming is starting to click with me.
The program starts with getting relaxed in the water and being comfortable, and builds through eight lessons, your freestyle stroke. Great instruction, excellent demonstrations and memorable words & phrases for when you get to the water. So glad we got this because swimming is now easy and enjoyable; I wish I could find the same caring and thorough approach for cycling. Only trouble is that the music lulls me to sleep sometimes; but I think I'm training-tired too! Love TI!

Walmart set to offer the iPhone 4 on launch day
updated 02:15 pm EDT, Fri June 11, 2010
Distribution expanded to meet demand
Walmart has announced that it is set to offer the iPhone 4 on June 24, the first day of general availability. The move is expected to help Apple meet the strong demand that is expected on the launch day, as customers will be able to purchase the device from several different retail outlets. Other stores such as Best Buy and Radio Shack are also believed to be stocking the handset for sales beginning on June 24.
The announcement marks the first time Walmart will be selling an iPhone on launch day. Previous generations were only available from the retailer at later dates. Many customers were forced to wait in long lines at AT&T outlets and Apple Stores.
The iPhone 4 will be available with 16GB or 32GB storage capacities and respective prices of $199 or $299 with a two-year contract. Walmart will not be offering pre-orders, which will be offered beginning June 15 from Apple and AT&T. [via CNET]

In Reply to: house breaking
: We have been trying to house break our 7 month old JR puppy. We got her from the pound about 1 month ago. She is very good about not going in the house - other than the occasional accidents. We have been keeping a close eye when she does get to play out of the pen area. She just doesn't seem to give us a signal that she needs to go out, though. She will not go potty in her pen area. She will hold it until we let her out. We want to give her a little bit more freedom, but she doesn't give a signal that she needs to go out. Is there something we are missing or need to be doing?
Thanks for adopting a terrier in need! Now you have to remember your little girl spent some time in a pound where she didn't have to worry about where she did her business.
Many dogs only give very subtle signs of when they need to go. It can be something as simple as just sniffing the ground a little more than usual, or seeming a bit more restless.
I have 2 terriers that are total opposites, one will go to the door and the other one, well we just make sure they get out on a regular basis.
The best thing you can do is establish a potty routine. Once you do this your pup will start to, as Oprah used to say, "get with the program." ;)
I am lucky to be able to be home so my dogs go out 1st thing in the morning, then around noon, then late afternoon, early evening and one more time before bed. This routine is subject to some change if one of the dog's is sick and needs to go out more.
Really study your pup and see what subtle signs she might be giving you.

It looks as nice as the picture shows, the only con is that the clip that comes with is a bit too simple and weak... I am trying to figure out how to connect the tips together nicely...
the item looks the same as pictures... just be aware that it use a safety pin to close it, not a button or something better.

Harish-Chandra modules with the unique embedding property
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Let be a connected semisimple real matrix group. In view of Casselman's subrepresentation theorem, every irreducible admissible representation of may be realized as a submodule of some principal series representation. We give a classification of representations with a unique embedding into principal series, in the case of regular infinitesimal character. Our basic philosophy is to link the theory of asymptotic behavior of matrix coefficients with the theory of coherent continuation of characters. This is accomplished by using the "Jacquet functor" and the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures.
