OSCARS: Christopher Plummer — 'Beginners'
In a feature film career spanning more than half a century (starting with Stage Struck in 1958), Christopher Plummer has played heroic roles from Roman general Commodus to Sherlock Holmes and, most memorably, Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Yet the 81-year-old Canadian was never satisfied being the leading man, preferring the challenge of darker character parts — think Detective Mackey in Dolores Claiborne in 1995. For all the respect and acclaim he's earned for such a diverse filmography, though, Plummer has received precisely one Oscar nomination: a supporting nod for The Last Station in 2010.
Plummer is in the running for his first Oscar again, for a different kind of heroic role, in Mike Mills' semi-autobiographical second feature Beginners. He plays Hal, who at 75 reveals his hidden homosexuality to his grown son Oliver (Ewan McGregor). Feisty, upbeat and — sorry, captain — coming off as very much a leading man, Plummer entertained an enthusiastic audience in Hollywood following a recent screening of Beginners. Deadline Awards Columnist Pete Hammond was there to guide the conversation. Here are some highlights.
On his unpredictable choices in roles
I've always tried to be as versatile as I possibly could, because to play the same kind of creature all the time — in fact to be a movie star — must be terribly boring because you're always playing yourself, really. I went into this business because I thought what a wonderful way to hide, and disguise myself, and play as many different kind of creatures as you can. That, to me, is what acting and the theatre and the movies is all about.
On other actors who've followed a similar path
I'll never forget, Gregory Peck, who was one of the nicest people I've known of the old guard Hollywood, he did that film for [David O.] Selznick, Lust In The Dust they called it, [actually Duel In The Sun]. His fans wrote him, bombarded him, with terrible insulting letters because he played the bad guy. And he wasn't used to doing that, he was always playing himself, always the good guy, the hero. And he played a real villain in that and it almost killed him.
On Beginners
I found it a touching little film, and funny, and I had the most wonderful fun making it. I don't think I've ever enjoyed making a film so much as this. Maybe I should always play gay people.
On working with a young director like Mills
I adored working for Michael. He's only done, I think, two features, and you would think he was an old veteran of 200 films. He was so secure. I mean maybe inside he was dying, but he never showed it.
On working with McGregor
He's extraordinary isn't he? I mean he's more anonymous on the screen than anybody I've ever known. He's extraordinary. It really isn't acting at all. He's listening and reacting and he does it so beautifully. I love him. He's a great guy; he's got a great sense of humor.
On the challenge of playing a character inspired by the director's father
I was terribly nervous. I thought, "Oh God, he's going to be so picayune about everything because I'm doing his father. So I don't think I'm going to enjoy this very much." And then I met Michael and he said "For God sake, just do anything you want. I don't care. You couldn't possibly have known my father and he was dead … so do what you want and that's fine." And that was the nicest bit of direction I've ever had in my life. Because he had written such a witty little script, it was very easy.
On what he looks for in a director
Just what Mike Mills turned out to be actually. He just left you alone. The best directors are the ones who know if they cast right, their job is almost over. John Huston said that to me [on The Man Who Would Be King in 1975]: "My job is over, yours has just begun."
On how his acting changed after he reached his 40s
By that time if you've worked hard and done your prep, all the time in the theatres, you amass a certain amount of technique that you trust and you don't have to worry about. You know your voice can do certain things, you know your body can do certain things, or not, as the case may be, and your choices are much easier to make. I think it's more fun as you get older. In my case it is.
On directors he'd like to work with
I would love to work with [Martin] Scorsese. I almost did twice but something happened. … And [Steven] Spielberg of course. Who doesn't want to work with these guys?
On a favorite director he has just worked with, on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
David Fincher is an extraordinary director. And bless his heart, a wonderful sense of humor, thank God! Because he does do lot of takes. If you do a lot of takes and you have no humor, you want to kill that director. And in his case, he's terribly funny and easy to tease. You can say, "What's this David? Is this 25 or 30?" and he'll play along. He'll have fun. A fabulous director. I don't think I've ever worked with anyone who on the screen captures the atmosphere of the story more quickly or more deftly than he does. He's always been wonderful.
On still waiting for his first Oscar
The only thing I can think of is Charlie Chaplin was 82 when he got his first Academy Award and he said, "Can you believe it? Can you believe it?"
Thanks for this summation of the conversation. Plummer of course is one of the great actors of the world and I consider myself blessed to have seen his Cyrano and Iago and Barrymore, as well as him in Pinter, on stage.
A brief anecdote: when filming The Insider in the Fall of 1998, I had finished reading most of the relevant articles and transcripts and books, including Mike Wallace's memoir. I was curious how Plummer would do him and before my own time to work, drove down to Orange County to watch him film a 60 minutes segment. What was readily apparent is that, unlike Wallace – who was an actor who found a workable persona and then stayed with it for ife – Plummer became him with ease, and then shifted to his latest venture.
He is the type of actor who would have been at ease at the Globe with Shakespeare 400 years ago. Award or not – and I certainly expect him to be on stage next week – he has been, and remains, a winning actor.
He is the classic stage actor in that for most of his life he did film work to pay the bills which allowed him to do the SERIOUS work of acting on stage. So I don't think Oscars means as much to him as it does others because at least up here in Canada he is considered our greatest actor, due solely to his stage credits.
Nice story. My favorite Plummer is the little-seen Canadian flick "The Silent Partner" with Elliot Gould. OMG, Plummer is the villain of villains in that one. Amazing work.
He's got it in the bag
Don't forget some of his funnest and over the top roles, like Chang from Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country or Reverend Jonathan Whirley in 1987's Dragnet and Atahualpa in Royal Hunt of the Sun, a personal favorite.

Hemoperitoneum is a frequent complication of PD particularly among premenopausal women with an incidence of 6-57%1,2. It may be due to the peritoneal dialysis procedure or to factors unrelated to the procedure or to renal disease. The regular performance of dialysis exchanges allows early detection.
Etiology of Hemoperitoneum.
• Gynecological
– Menstruation - ovulation
– Ovarian cyst - endometriosis
• Neoplastic
– Renal cell carcinoma
– Adenocarcinoma of colon
– Carcinomatosis of the liver or hepatoma
• Hematological
– Thrombocytopenic purpura- anticoagulation
• Polycystic diseases
• Gastrointestinal
– Splenic rupture or infarct, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, colonic perforation
• Sclerosing peritonitis
• Peritoneal calcification
• Retroperitoneal or iliopsoas hematoma
Evaluation and Management. Obtain white blood cell count in PD effluent and blood, amylase in PD fluid and culture at the first occurrence of hemoperitoneum. To determine the severity of bleeding obtain an effluent hematocrit and monitor changes in blood hemoglobin levels. Heavy recurrent bleeding associated with pain and fever demands urgent evaluation. An effluent hematocrit > 2% suggests severe bleeding. Further evaluation includes coagulation studies, abdominal imaging (CT scan, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, angiography). Rapid exchanges and the use of intraperitoneal heparin (500-1,000 U/l) as long as the dialysate has visible blood or fibrin have been recommended to prevent clotting. Oral contraceptives may prevent ovulation and control bleeding. Aspirin and anticoagulants should be stopped, if possible. If bleeding persists, surgical exploration may be required.

My recent column on push-ups, in which orthopedic surgeon John Fenlin of the Rothman Institute tossed a hand grenade by recommending that people over 40 stop doing body-weight exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, and dips, generated a huge response from readers.
Many were alarmed by his warning and wanted guidance about sensible ways to adapt push-ups so they're less perilous, as well as advice about suitable substitutes. But others objected to Fenlin's counsel, claiming that body-weight exercises are an important and valuable part of their fitness regimen that pose little danger if executed carefully and properly.
Among the latter was D.C. Maxwell, who has been at the forefront of fitness trends in the Philadelphia area for the last 20 years, which is about as long as I've known her. Today, she is a consultant to club managers and training educators and is a persuasive advertisement for fitness herself, with a trim and shapely figure. Passionate about martial arts, she has won seven gold medals in Brazilian jujitsu international competitions. She asked me not to divulge her age, but I will say that she appears anywhere from 10 to 20 years younger than the score kept by Father Time.

After the Philadelphia Eagles loss to the New York Giants in Week 3, Michael Vick complained in his post-game press conference about how he doesn't get the roughing-the-passer calls of Tom Brady and other pocket-passers.
While Vick may think he has some serious gripe with the NFL referees, data has shown that they do not pick favorites when it comes to calling roughing the passer penalties.
Vick should be more more focused on the fact that his "dream team" offense has yet to live up to its ability.
Here is why the Eagles offense, not the refs, is to blame for the team's early season struggles.

Recap: A Subdued Republican Debate in Tampa
The first debate since Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina GOP primary after a series of high-octane debate moments saw a subdued Mr. Gingrich trying to take the tone of a front-runner. He went after Mitt Romney, but often sought to brush off attacks as misinformation.
Mr. Romney, for his part, showed he is more than willing to go after his latest rival, though his lines of attack seemed at times to be fuzzy. He did, however, get Mr. Gingrich to acknowledge that he got advice on lobbying. "We brought in an expert on lobbying law and trained all of our staff and had experts prepared to testify that he was brought in to say here is the bright line between what you can do as a citizen and what you do as a lobbyist," Mr. Gingrich said.
While Mr. Gingrich was careful to play by the loose federal rules on lobbying, he did little to silence questions about what exactly he did while advising Freddie Mac, the mortgage company now under federal conservatorship.
Meantime, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul demonstrated that if they are going to stay relevant in this race, they are going to have to find a way to grab more time in the spotlight. All of the candidates seemed to be especially hindered by moderator Brian Williams's stern warning to the audience to refrain from both applause and boos. The lack of audience response sucked some of the oxygen from the room and some excitement from the exchanges.
Here's Washington Wire's live blog of Monday's debate:
NBC debate moderator Brian Williams get the debate under way, asking the crowd not to applaud or give a verbal reaction to what's said on stage. Good luck with that.
First question: Electability.
Newt Gingrich starts off with his favorite comparison, suggesting that he is like former President Ronald Reagan. Mr. Gingrich often likens his vision for the country to the "bold" one of Mr. Reagan. Tonight, Mr. Gingrich said he can accomplish the same come-from-behind victory as Mr. Reagan did to win the nomination.
Mr. Williams first question to Mr. Gingrich was right in the Georgian's wheelhouse. Mr. Gingrich invoked Ronald Reagan twice and used the word "establishment" three times.
Mr. Romney came out swinging hard, right at Mr. Gingrich's jaw. In response to his first question, Mr. Romney used the word "disgrace" twice in reference to Mr. Gingrich and called him an "influence peddler."
Mr. Gingrich's response: "He said at least four things that are false." He promises to address that and other "inaccuracies" on his website tomorrow.
Seven minutes into the debate, Messrs. Santorum and Paul haven't even had a question lobbed their way yet.
We have fireworks! Mr. Romney gets straight to the point and begins going after Newt Gingrich's character and ability to lead. He attacks him for being forced to resign from Congress and accuses him of being an "influence peddler." It's a way of suggesting Mr. Gingrich was like a lobbyist, which Mr. Gingrich, at least technically, wasn't, without calling him a lobbyist.
Mr. Romney said he learned a lesson from his drubbing in South Carolina. He "had incoming from all directions. I was overwhelemd by a lot of the attacks."
He said he was "not going to sit back" and let that happen again.
Newt Gingrich made an early attempt to brush off Mitt Romney's attacks, saying "I'm not going to spend the evening trying to chase Mitt Romney's information." Earlier today, Mr. Gingrich suggested tonight he would try to take the tone of Ronald Reagan, who famously brushed off a debate barb with, "There you go again."
So we're 10 minutes into this debate and Mr. Romney and Mr. Gingrich seem ready to rip each other's heads off. Mr. Romney has mentioned Mr. Gingrich's consulting work at Freddie Mac twice in 10 minutes, saying the Georgian made more than a million dollars from a contract with Freddie Mac's top lobbyist while the people of Florida lost millions on their homes. Mr. Gingrich responded quickly. "He mayhave been a good financier. He's a terrible historian."
Showing that many now view the race as a two-person contest, Rick Santorum, who won the Iowa caucuses, did not get his first question until 10 minutes in.
Mr. Santorum finally gets a question. Said he'd be a steady-as-it-goes conservative and not have the surprises that Messrs. Romney or Gingrich might have. Mr. Williams questioned him about how electable he was if he lost his Senate seat in Pennsylvania by such a large margin during the Bush administration. "It was a meltdown year," Mr. Santorum said.
Mr. Paul batted back a question about whether he's really running for president with an eye on possibly winning the White House. "To say there has only been three races and talk about not being electable I think is a bit of a stretch," he said.
Mr. Santorum gives an early example of the challenge Mr. Gingrich faces at the debates this week. He now has two candidates on stage who are arguing Mr. Gingrich is unelectable. Mr. Romney said earlier the former speaker lacked the qualities of a leader. Mr. Santorum, just now, said that Mr. Gingrich would make the general election about himself if he became the nominee, rather than whether President Barack Obama deserves a second term.
Mr. Paul said Mr. Gingrich wasn't being truthful when he said the speaker stepped down because he felt his time in Congress had run its course after the 1998 midterm elections. He "didn't have the votes," Mr. Paul said. "That's just not the way it was."
Would Mr. Paul run as a third-party candidate?
"I have no plans to do that. No intention."
Mr. Paul will not put to rest the talk of a third-party candidacy. He just said he has no plans to mount an independent bid if he loses the GOPÂ primary, but he noted he is not an "absolutist."
Interesting dance between Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Paul. Mr. Paul ripped him down for his time as speaker but suggested he might be able to support him if he adjusted his foreign policy views. Mr. Gingrich held his fire. Perhaps there's a partnership in the offing…
Mr. Romney, on what his taxes will look like when he releases them Tuesday: "No surprises."
Mr. Romney tries to navigate around questions of his own tax returns by saying the real issue is the "taxes of the American people." He goes on to talk about his vision for tax reform, which he has not yet spelled out in detail.
Mr. Romney sparked a debate last week after he noted his effective tax rate is around 15%. Tonight, he argues the American people shouldn't want a president who pays more than he has to.
This could be newsy. Mr. Romney said he'd support tax reform that lowered tax rates and broadened the base of taxpayers "akin to" Bowles-Simpson. He's referring to the 2010 Bowles-Simpson fiscal commission. This is significant because Bowles-Simpson proposed raising roughly $1 trillion in new revenue by gutting tax expenditures. Some Senate Republicans endorsed this proposal, bucking others in their party. House Republicans rejected the idea because it essentially raised taxes, though many have been supportive of the Bowles-Simpson process more broadly.
Mr. Romney points out one of the problems in Mr.Gingrich saying his optional 15% tax plan would allow all Americans to pay at the same rate as Mr. Romney. Mr. Gingrich also calls for eliminating the capital gains tax, and since Mr. Romney makes his money from investments, he would pay no taxes under the Gingrich tax plan.
Mr. Romney slammed Mr. Gingrich, without naming him, for the attacks on his time at Bain Capital. He said his Republican critics picked up the weapons of the "left."
Mr. Romney's best friend on the stage tonight: Mr. Santorum. The former senator is attacking Mr. Gingrich for being unelectable and just stood up against attacking Mr. Romney for his wealth. Of course, Mr. Santorum probably took himself off the Christmas card list just now when he said Mr. Romney supported the 2008 bailout of the financial sector.
Mr. Gingrich is really going after Mr. Romney for attacks on his past in the consulting world.
"There's a point in this process where its unceesccarrily personal and nasty, and that's sad. I have never ever gone and done any lobbying."
Mr. Romney goes right back after him.
Mr. Romney: "You were hired by the chief lobbyist of Freddie Mac, not the CEO."
Tense moments in the debate now, as the two are staring at each other.
Mr. Gingrich balks on a direct question on whether he tried to provide influence for Freddie Mac. He first notes that there is a point in the electoral process where attacks go over the line. Then he says he did not do any lobbying — something nobody argues. Mr. Gingrich is not being accused of being a lobbyist, something citizens have to register to do. Instead, he is being accused of trying to influence folks on Capitol Hill to support Freddie Mac, as a paid consultant.
We're a half an hour in and, let's face it, this is not a lively debate. Mr. Gingrich is committed to taking the high road as he tries not to put his foot in mouth and ride his wave of momentum. Mr. Romney, meanwhile, is on the offensive. It's not a comfortable domain for him and he doesn't land punchy attack lines the same way Mr. Gingrich can.
As for Messers. Santorum and Paul, it's a little bit like they're not there.
Mr. Romney is going for the pin on Freddie Mac. Real wrestling here.
Mr. Gingrich shoots back – "What's the gross revenue of Bain?"
Mr. Romney – "Very substantial."
Mr. Romney – "we didn't do any work for the government. I didn't have an office on K Street.
Mr. Gingrich doubles down that he was an historian for Freddie Mac.
Mr. Gingrich said Mr. Romney is trying to destroy his record the same way Mr. Romney went after John Cain and Mike Huckabee. Mr. Gingrich said it wouldn't work. "The American people see through it," Mr. Gingrich said
Wow. K Street's hair must be on fire now. Mr. Romney is shredding the way companies hire lobbyists and consultants in Washington. "You can call it whatever you like. I call it influence peddling."
The first segment ends — and there's the first applause from the audience.
Mr. Romney has never had to spend a debate before consistently on the attack. Tonight, his jabs at Mr. Gingrich often lack the snappy one liners Mr. Gingrich is known for. Instead he relies on detailed explanations of why Mr. Gingrich did something wrong — such as when the former governor detailed why Mr. Gingrich was forced to resign from Congress. Just now, he said it was wrong that Mr. Gingrich supported an expansion of Medicare while representing health care companies — but there was no sound bite to be had.
Overhauling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was one of the biggest political battles between six and 10 years ago, with the companies lobbying aggressively to stop changes and the banking industry lobbying aggressive to shape changes. But because it was so wonky, few outside Washington paid attention and it was almost never mentioned on a national stage. Now it's a central topic during the 2012 Republican presidential primray debate.
Mr. Santorum flashes his populist side when he says his tax plan would allow Americans to deduct losses on their homes. It's a stark contrast to Mr. Paul, who just said the government should get out of the way with the housing crisis.
Mr. Paul plays his part when he turns a question about housing policy into a rant against the Federal Reserve System and its control over interest rates.
Mr. Romney, meantime, sticks to his usual pro-jobs message and notes that the housing market will improve when the economy improves. The topic has come up at several candidate debates, and GOP White House hopefuls have been slow to offer specifics. The problem: Government intervention contradicts conservative orthodoxy, but telling home owners their on their own doesn't go over so well with independent voters.
Mr. Romney deftly answers a question about whether banks were overregulated before the financial crisis.
"It was poorly regulated," he said. "Markets have to have regulation to work."
He said "you need to have regulation that's up to date."
But he, and Mr. Gingrich, slammed the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law of 2010, saying it is hurting the economic recovery and preventing banks from both lending and renotiating mortgages.
Mr. Santorum and Mr. Paul suggest locking in low home prices. Mr. Santorum said banks should take losses on bad loans, and that homeowners should be able to deduct losses. Ron Paul says  "you want the prices to come down so that people will start buying them again.â€
Florida has a large Cuban population, and Mr. Gingrich plays to the home crowd when he says he doesn't think Fidel Castro will "meet his maker. He's going to go to another place."
Sort of an awkward religious moment between Messrs. Romney and Gingrich. Mr. Romney, asked what he would do if Fidel Castro died, said he would be thankful that Mr. Castro had gone to "meet his maker."
Mr. Gingrich said Mr. Castro, when he dies, isn't going to heaven. "I don't think (Fidel) is going to meet his maker," he said.
Mr. Gingrich just sketched out a pretty provocative stance on Cuba, advocating covert action to change the nature of the regime. Also, it is a little odd to hear someone talking openly about covert action, making it not so covert.
Mr. Romney says shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil passes, would be an act of war by Iran. Iran has been making threats in response to European and U.S. sanctions.
Mr. Romney, seeking to burnish his image as a foreign policy hawk, suggests the Navy under President Obama is no longer capable of maintaining control of the seas. On the stump, he often touts his plan to build more Navy ships as a solution.
Mr. Gingrich says there's a chance Iran thinks Mr. Obama "is so weakâ€
Mr. Paul chides Messrs. Gingrich and Romney on on their Iran policies. "We don't have any money. We have too many wars." He said the American people "certainly don't want a hot war in Iran right now."
Mr. Paul says the U.S. has "already committedâ€
One hour in, this debate isn't the heavyweight boxing match many had expected. Mr. Gingrich is trying to remain calm when he's hit by Mr. Romney. The problem: It's depriving Mr. Gingrich of his debate quips that excite the conservative base. Mr. Romney meantime has shown he's willing to engage his latest challenger for the GOP nomination, but has had a hard time adding some muscle behind his punches. Meantime, Messrs. Santorum and Paul have been all-but marginalized.
Much different feel during this debate. The audience has actually sat on their hands after all. In South Carolina, Mr. Gingrich seemed to feed off the crowd and knock Mr. Romney on his back. Here, Mr. Romney has been able to corner the former Speaker of the House a couple times.
Tagg Romney cheers on his father, Mitt Romney, via Twitter:
"@tromney Keep up the tough talk dad. You are killing it tonight!"
Mr. Santorum said Iran has already gone too far in its aggression and said the Obama administration had been too timid. He said there have been a "long list of attacks of warlike behavior on behalf of this [Iranian]Â regime."
Mr. Gingrich said that in the future there could be 300 to 400 languages spoken in the U.S. He said there are 86 currently used in Miami-Dade.
Mr. Santorum says that more Gulf oil drilling is good for Florida because it will help the U.S. economy, thus giving tourists money to vacation in Florida. Florida has tended to see it differently, out of concern that spills such as the 2010 BP Plc oil spill will pollute waters and spoil beaches.
Mr. Santorum said "self-deportation" is happening now because people are going back to their countries of origin after trying in vain to find work in the U.S.
Messrs. Romney and Gingrich suggested the federal sugar subsidy has to go, even though many Floridian businesses count on it. We'll see how that plays in Florida.
Mr. Romney turns his attacks to President Obama, saying the U.S. under his leadership is "headed to a Greece-type collapse.â€
Mr. Romney says President Obama has no plans for NASA, a huge issue to some Florida voters whose families and jobs have long been intertwined with the space program. "The space coast is hurting," Mr. Romney said.
Mr. Romney says he would "sign the Dream Act," but only if it is focused on a military service provision also supported by Mr. Gingrich, Â giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship if they join the armed forces. Immigration could become an interesting topic in Florida for Mr. Romney, who often says he supports "legal immigration" while sometimes accusing his GOP rivals of supporting amnesty. Mr. Gingrich's campaign has been airing a Spanish-language radio ad in Miami that accuses Mr. Romney of being the most "anti-immigrant" candidate.
Is it just me, or is NBC using every commercial to promote its television shows. Haven't seen many (if any) companies buying ad time tonight.
Strike that. Here's an ad from Ford and a flooring commercial.
Mr. Gingrich says the best way to encourage innovation in space exploration would be for the government to set goals and then offer "prizes" to the private sector for achieving those goals.
Mr. Gingrich says the U.S. economy would be in "much worse shapeâ€
Fact Checking
Earlier in the debate, Mr. Gingrich said he has not been a lobbyist, and that Mr. Romney has been making false statements about the nature of his consulting work.
But in December, former Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Colorado Republican, now a director at the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List, told CNN that Mr. Gingrich called her in 2003 during the debate over the Medicare bill to ask her to vote for it.  Also in December, Arizona Rep. Jeff Flake and Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, who served in Congress, were cited in the Des Moines Register saying that Mr. Gingrich lobbied for the bill, which allowed Medicare coverage of prescription drugs.
Mr. Gingrich was being paid at the time by the drug industry's Washington lobby, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, according to three people directly involved, all Republicans. PhRMA officials have confirmed that the trade group had a contract with Mr. Gingrich.
The Wall Street Journal and other outlets reported in 2003 that Mr. Gingrich advocated passage of the bill to the Republican caucus behind closed doors.
The debate continues at a glacial pace as it approaches it's last section. Although candidates are digging into issues of the day such as space exploration and end-of-life care in the case of Terri Schiavo, they have left behind the topics that have created so much sparring on the campaign trail. For instance, Messrs. Gingrich and Romney both just delivered long, middle of the road answers on the role of the federal government in space travel. It's an important issue in Florida, the capital of the American space program, but it is not one that gets anyone's rocket boosters firing.
When asked what he's done to further the conservative cause, Mr. Romney says he's "raised a family." Not sure if that was a shot at Mr. Gingrich or not, but it might have been.
Mr. Gingrich has mentioned Ronald Reagan's name at least six times tonight.
It's a pile on, though a calm one. Mr. Gingrich whips out a line he uses often on the trail: Republicans can only beat President Obama if their nominee is vastly different from the sitting president. He then suggests that Mr. Romney is too similar to the Democrat. Mr. Santorum chimes in and argues that Mr. Romney's health care law in Massachusetts was the inspiration for what he calls Obamacare.
Mr. Santorum really rips Messrs. Gingrich and Romney as the debate winds down. "They rejected conservatism when it was hard to stand. It's going to be hard to stand."
Mr. Paul suggests he's the most conservative candidate, saying that if you want to cut food stamps to save money, you should also want to cut overseas spending.
Mr. Romney just said that the late-Sen. Edward Kennedy had to take out a mortgage on his house to beat him in their 1994 Senate contest.
Mr. Romney avoids stepping into a trap, when Mr. Williams asked when the last time the U.S. was a "great" nation. "We're still a great nation," Mr. Romney said. "But a great nation doesn't have so many people suffering."
That's it. The debate turned out to be more subdued than many thought it would be after Newt Gingrich's decisive win in South Carolina Saturday. But there's another opportunity Thursday, when the four candidates meet for the 19th debate in Jacksonville, Fla.

ROSELAND, N.J. – The New Jersey honor student who sued to get her parents to support her after she moved out of their home has reunited with them, and the family is now asking for privacy.
Rachel Canning moved back in with her parents after speaking with her mother Tuesday, but without any promises of financial support or other consideration, according to lawyers for the teen and her parents.
A state judge Wednesday denied a request from Canning's attorney asking for a court-appointed guardian for the 18-year-old to be paid for by her parents. The denied application for immediate relief also requested that the courtroom be closed for future hearings, the records sealed and all parties prohibited from speaking to the media.
"It is critical that if Rachel does dismiss this matter that she does so of her own free will and not due to the extreme pressure of her parents and the media," her attorney, Tanya N. Helfand, wrote in the court filing.
Phone and email messages to Helfand were not immediately returned.

By Grady M. EmbreyMay 5, 2014
The year is 2025. An armored brigade combat team (ABCT) is conducting combat operations during the initial stage of a conflict against a modern, conventional-force adversary in a distant theater. The theater's infrastructure is austere, with virtually no available host-nation support, requiring U.S. forces to rely primarily on organic capabilities for all logistics functions.
The brigade is currently involved in an offensive mission that began just hours ago and is scheduled to last several days without any significant pauses. This requires logistics planners in the brigade S-4 shop and support operations office (SPO) to have near-real-time, accurate logistics information available at all times so they can ensure that uninterrupted support is provided to subordinate units in accordance with the brigade commander's intent.
They must provide uninterrupted support over internal brigade supply lines that could extend up to 60 miles in length while units constantly maneuver day and night in combat conditions.
Imagine working on the SPO staff of a brigade combat team (BCT) where near-real-time information flows seamlessly to your computer terminal, precluding the need to request up-to-date logistics statuses for commodities and equipment under your purview. Imagine not having to call units for status reports or to make sense out of incomplete, hand scribed numbers jotted down hurriedly by fuelers and ammunition handlers at reissue and drop-off points.
And imagine not having to try to figure out where your logistics convoy vehicles are in the tactical battlespace. This is precisely the direction the Army is headed under the auspices of sense and respond logistics and network-enabled mission command.
Historically, accounting for bulk fuel at supply points and tracking fuel disbursed from tankers and trailers has been a manual process. Fuel supply point personnel use a stick and string to measure fuel quantities. Truck drivers hand write fuel delivery information, such as quantity delivered and location. The information is then passed to the battalion SPO for accounting purposes.
Often, sustainment planners who are responsible for tracking, ordering, and resupplying combat units in the midst of battle never receive the information. If the information is received, it is often fragmented and difficult to read, and aggregating the information while planning the next resupply convoy is time-consuming.
To provide uninterrupted support, the brigade's senior logisticians must have the following key elements of information on a nearly continuous basis for mission planning purposes:
• Who (which unit) has priority of support during each phase of the mission?
• What (ammunition, fuel, maintenance support) is needed by whom?
• When do they need it?
• Where are they located in the battlespace, and where is the designated logistics rendezvous point?
• Do we (the brigade support battalion) have sufficient assets on hand, or will we need support from echelons above brigade?
• What are the current locations of all resupply convoys in the brigade's battlespace, and what cargo are they carrying?
• Did we deliver the essential support on time to the units that needed it?
• Can we see the current aggregated combat readiness status of the brigade's subordinate units in the mission command information system (displayed as green, amber, or red) to confirm that the support provided satisfied the requirements of the supported units?
The Logistics Innovation Agency (LIA), a field operating agency of the Army G-4, is currently working to enhance the speed and accuracy of bulk fuel reporting by automating it through an initiative called the Visibility of Integrated Tactical Logistics (VITaL) project. The intent is to use sensor technology to pass real-time data from supply points and vehicles transiting the tactical battlespace through the existing command and control systems (which are part of the Joint Battle Command-Platform [JBC-P]) to the Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3), the Army's system of record for logistics mission command. BCS3 will be used as the commander's common operational picture, allowing the staff to receive automated, real-time updates.
VITaL is not a new system. It is merely a method of linking existing systems to streamline the data flow and enhance visibility of the commodities. The overarching goal of the VITaL project is to explore, develop, test, and demonstrate an initial set of integrated logistics mission command capabilities in 2014 and 2015. To accomplish this, the project will focus on the critical logistics functional areas of bulk fuel, ammunition, tactical-level in-transit visibility (ITV), and select combat platform readiness.
To further define the project scope, the VITaL team is focusing on scenarios that involve the ABCT and Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT) formations in the tactical space during high-operating tempo, high-intensity combat operations. The ABCT and SBCT have been selected because they are at the center of the Army's modular force structure and contain a large number of essential, logistics-intensive weapon systems.
The project will be executed in four distinct increments called capability blocks: fuel, ITV, platform, and ammunition.
Block 1, VITaL-Fuel, consists of automatically transmitting bulk fuel data from gauges on collapsible fuel storage tanks to BCS3 using a data integration interface designed for the project. The VITaL project team successfully conducted a field demonstration of this capability block in March 2013.
Block 2, VITaL-ITV, will focus on generating, transmitting, and integrating data on the visibility of bulk fuel and ammunition being transported on BCT logistics vehicles over the last tactical mile. This will require the use of transport vehicle sensors that are linked to the on-board JBC-P system for transmission to and integration with BCS3.
Block 3, VITaL-Platform, will work to automatically generate and pass platform combat power mission command readiness data from sensors embedded in combat platforms to the JBC-P system and on to BCS3, where it can be reported in a unit-aggregated format for logistics mission planning.
Block 4, VITaL-Ammunition, will focus on automatically generating ammunition storage visibility data through the ammunition management information system at the BCT ammunition holding and transfer point to BCS3.
Given the complex nature and multiyear duration of the VITaL project, LIA has implemented a project management structure that is flexible enough to accommodate the requirements of the diverse organizations that make up the project team while ensuring unity of effort. The project management process focuses on the outside agencies that make up the stakeholder team and their active participation, contribution of subject matter expertise, and shared interest in improving capabilities for Soldiers in the field.
Synchronizing team member short-term and long-term schedules, coordinating budget requests and spending plans, and modifying currently existing systems to bring an integrated set of products to a field ready state by the project's scheduled 2020 end date are the keys to success.
The main elements of the project management process include stakeholder partnership, laboratory-based development and integration testing, field demonstrations, and contributions by the project manager and combat developer.
PARTNERSHIPS AMONG VITAL PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS. Since stakeholder team members have a variety of primary missions, the team must use a consensus-based management process. LIA is the project coordinator and facilitator in this effort, not a directive-issuing authority. Cooperation is the key to success.
LABORATORY-BASED DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION. The concept of a lab-based development effort enables an integration of this complexity. This lab-based process is cost effective, particularly when multiple facilities are engaged in a virtual laboratory environment. When possible and feasible, this development and testing strategy includes the use of standard Army software, hardware, communications networks, and standards.
FIELD DEMONSTRATIONS. When each VITaL capability block is successfully tested in a lab environment, the products developed are then subjected to field demonstrations for further user assessment and evaluation. The VITaL team successfully conducted its initial field demonstration (VITaL-Fuel, capability block 1) in March 2013 at Fort Lee, Va.
PROJECT MANAGER (PM) AND COMBAT DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTIONS. To the maximum extent possible, the VITaL project leverages the work of the participating PMs and combat developers who are responsible for developing field-ready products. The final suite of VITaL capabilities will require its own PM to successfully conduct Army- wide fielding events and technology upgrades and then manage them throughout the life cycle process.
The VITaL project is not inventing new logistics information systems but weaving together key systems that already exist to produce near-real-time logistics mission command information for Soldiers at forward operating bases.
The completion of the VITaL project does not mean the end the of logistics information development process. Many more capability blocks outside the scope of the VITaL project will need to be developed, tested, and demonstrated in order for units to possess full integration across all of the functional areas and classes of supply that exist in the Army's logistics domain. However, so far, VITaL represents a series of first big steps in the right direction.
Grady M. Embrey is the project lead for the Visibility of Integrated Tactical Logistics program at the Logistics Innovation Agency. He holds a bachelor's degree in public administration from George Mason University and a master's degree in public administration from Shippensburg University. He is a graduate of the Army War College.

If any of them were good enough he'd beat the others out is my assessment of MSU's quarterback circus, which may last the entire season. Now Connor Cook gets reps with the number one team in practice this week but that doesn't mean he will start Saturday against Youngstown State. Freshman Damion Terry is next and who knows the future of senior Andrew Maxwell.
If it was me, I'd still play Maxwell over Cook and Tyler O'Connor, but I haven't seen Terry so I don't know where he is relative to being the Spartans' best answer. One way or the other the Spartans better find some production from the position because once these cream puff games end this Saturday, the season begins in earnest at Notre Dame.
I think MSU has many other problems on offense at other positions. But quarterback is the trigger position and it has been a problem and I don't see an end in sight. Good luck to whoever starts at Notre Dame the following Saturday and your guess is as good as mine as to who starts in South Bend.

Entering his 37th season as the Seminoles' head coach in 2015, Mike Martin continues to redefine success by any standard of measure. With 1,857 career victories, a .741 winning percentage that sits atop among all active NCAA Division I coaches, 36 consecutive regional tournament appearances and 15 trips to the College World Series, Martin's place in college baseball history is secure.
Martin was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2007. Since then he has eclipsed the 1,500-, 1,600-, 1,700- and 1,800-win milestones, returned to the College World Series three times in the last eight seasons and has shown no sign of slowing down, while continuing to turn out All-Americans, Major League Draft choices and postseason participants.
Martin, who owns the record for most NCAA Division I wins and trails only Texas' Augie Garrido (1,950) in all-time victories, is the the man whose uniform number – 11 – is universally substituted for his name among players, fans, colleagues, and even family members. There's a reason Martin is treated like family among the Florida State faithful. He has been associated with the Seminoles for 44 of the program's 69 seasons - as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
Of the 3,787 baseball games played in FSU history and Martin has been involved in 2,894 of those in some capacity. Even more impressively, he's been on the field or in the dugout for 2,124 of the Seminoles' 2,757 all-time victories. In a sport where you're immortalized for batting .300, Martin has more than doubled that success rate – and then some – having had a hand in more than 77 percent of the program's victories in some capacity.
In 2015, Florida State reached the NCAA Tournament for the 38th straight time and 53rd time in program history-both marks sit as the second most nationally-after capturing its sixth ACC Championship with a 6-2 victory over NC State in Durham, N.C. Martin witnessed seven Seminoles selected in the 2015 MLB First Year Player Draft including their 22nd first round pick when DJ Stewart was picked 25th overall by the Baltimore Orioles. Florida State also finished the year ranked in the top 15 in the national polls for the 30th time since 1980 - Martin's first year as head coach.
Martin's Seminoles captured their eighth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference Atlantic Division in 2014 after finishing the regular season with a 21-9 mark winning eight of 10 league series.
Two years prior, Martin led the Seminoles to the 50-win plateau for the 24th time in school history, while guiding FSU to its 15th College World Series appearance - both under his watch. In a season that started with many uncertainties most notably on the mound, those questions were quickly answered as Florida State ascended to the top of the rankings and stayed there for seven weeks. The Seminoles dominated play in the Atlantic Coast Conference finishing with a 24-6 record en route to a sixth straight Atlantic Division title. The 24 wins tied a league record for the most victories a mark established by two other teams including Martin's 2008 squad. One of those wins, a 6-1 victory over Miami on April 21, pushed Martin ahead of Bill Wilhelm as the ACC's all-time wins leader for conference wins. The Seminoles went undefeated during NCAA Regional and Super Regional play posting wins over UAB, Samford and Stanford to earn a trip to Omaha, where they won two games to finish in the top four of the national polls for the first time since 2000. At the end of the year, the long-time coach was recognized as Baseball America's College Coach of the Year for the first time in his illustrious career.
With Martin at the helm since 1980, the Seminoles have won 17 conference championships with 11 from the Metro Conference and six in the ACC. Since moving to divisional play in 2006, Martin has led the Seminoles to at least a share of the ACC Atlantic Division title eight times, including a stretch of eight straight from 2007-2014. FSU has played in the conference title game in four of the last seven years.
Quite naturally, Martin's accomplishments have been recognized, as he has claimed conference coach of the year honors 13 times; six times in the Metro Conference and seven times in the ACC with his latest coming in 2012. James Ramsey, Robert Benincasa, Jayce Boyd and Devon Travis, stars from the 2012 season, were recognized by earning All-America and All-ACC honors. In all, Martin's Seminoles have collected 89 All-America and 122 All-ACC honors. Furthermore, he has coached seven players – Mike Fuentes, Mike Loynd, J.D. Drew, Shane Robinson, Tony Thomas, Jr., Buster Posey and James Ramsey – who were named National Player of the Year.
Over the past three decades, Martin hasn't only produced great players. He has developed a program that consistently turns out great teams. FSU baseball is the second-winningest program all-time, trailing only Texas, which has played 118 seasons. That's 51 seasons more than the Seminoles, who along with the Longhorns, are the only programs in college baseball history to have won 73 percent of their games.
Since the start of the 2000 season, Florida State has won more games (778) than any other program. Since 1990, no Division I school has more top 10 finishes, 50-plus win seasons or participated in more NCAA Regionals.
What Martin and the Seminoles have accomplished from 1990 to the present may rank as one of the great feats in college athletics. Beyond their staggering success in the regular season, the Seminoles have flourished in the postseason. From their 26 consecutive NCAA Regional appearances – 22 as the hosts – the Seminoles have finished their season at the College World Series 11 times. Since the NCAA instituted Super Regional play in 1999, FSU has reached the penultimate postseason round 14 times and played host at Dick Howser Stadium on 10 occasions.
The Road to Omaha in 2010 was anything but a smoothly paved super-highway, even though the Seminoles sailed through their first 12 games without a blemish, including a three-game home sweep of Georgia and single wins over Florida, Jacksonville and North Florida. FSU promptly dropped its first two ACC games – at home – against top-ranked Virginia, avoiding a sweep with a Sunday triumph.
It would be that kind of season in the ACC, which proved to be the most competitive conference in the nation, with eight of 12 teams registering at least 38 victories and advancing to the NCAA Regionals – a new league standard. At 18-9 in ACC play, the Seminoles controlled their own destiny in their bid for a fourth consecutive, outright ACC Atlantic Division title as they headed to Clemson. The Tigers promptly swept the Seminoles, who still managed to secure the Atlantic top spot by virtue of a tie-breaker.
The Seminoles suffered their fourth consecutive loss – their longest losing streak of the season - to Miami in the opening game of the ACC Tournament, before turning things around. An 11-4 win over top-seeded Virginia served as the springboard to another remarkable postseason run. The Seminoles routed Boston College, and then turned back NC State 8-3 in the championship game at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C. for their fifth ACC title.
Continuing its momentum in Connecticut, FSU pushed its winning streak to six, sweeping the NCAA Norwich Regional. Consecutive two-run wins over Oregon put the 'Noles back in a Super Regional, this time at home against Vanderbilt. McGee's walk-off homer in the opening game kept the ball rolling. Undeterred by a 6-2 loss in the second game, the 'Noles used a three-run, eighth inning double by Sherman Johnson and McGee's 12th save of the season to score a 7-6 victory and earn the program's 20th College World Series trip.
The 2008 Seminoles snapped a seven-year drought between CWS appearances – the longest in Martin's tenure – by rolling up a 54-14 record, which included an ACC-record 24-6 league mark. Led by consensus All-American and National Player of the Year Buster Posey, the Seminoles slugged their way back into the national spotlight. With five All-ACC players in the fold, FSU produced a nation-leading and ACC-record .355 batting average to go along with 103 home runs. Along the way the group delivered Martin his 1,500th career victory, fittingly in a 17-8 rout of Georgia Tech.
It was a long time coming for a program which dominated the decade. From 2000-2009, the Seminoles won 500 games, two ACC Tournament titles, authored a rare 60-win season (2002), turned out National Players of the Year (Shane Robinson, Tony Thomas, Jr. and Buster Posey) and four first-round draft picks. No one suspected that the 2000 team – Martin's 19th to reach the 50-win landmark in 22 seasons – would be the last to find its way to Rosenblatt Stadium. After all, the Seminoles had become regular June visitors and seemed poised to break through for its first CWS title after consecutive strong showings in 1999 (second) and 2000 (tied for third).
From 1990-1999, Florida State made seven CWS appearances, including a program-best stretch of three consecutive (1994-96). The '99 Seminoles provided the capper. They came through the ACC schedule with a 22-2 mark – the best winning percentage in league history – which helped Martin land coach of the year honors. Marshall McDougall, who left the nation buzzing about FSU baseball when he slammed an NCAA record six home runs in a single game at Maryland earlier in the season, helped the 'Noles roll through the Regional and Super Regional rounds at home. In Omaha, FSU rallied from a second-round loss to reach the title game by beating Stanford 14-11 in 13 innings. The dream season ended with a heart-breaking, 6-5 loss to Miami with a title on the line.
Beyond the 527 wins in the 10-year stretch, there were plenty of memories. Martin, who would post his 1,000th career victory in '98 against Jacksonville, had a chance to coach his son – catcher Mike Martin, Jr. – for three seasons. He also filled out lineup cards with names like Paul Wilson, Doug Mientkiewicz, Jonathan Johnson and Eduardo Perez. The Seminoles also joined the ACC in 1992, posting the league's best record three times, while winning two tournament titles during the decade.
In short, Martin's Seminoles of the 1990s raised the standard of excellence established under his direction throughout the 1980s. The Seminoles won nine Metro Conference Tournament titles and made three College World Series appearances between 1980 and 1989, thanks to the likes of Mike Fuentes, Jeff Ledbetter, Luis Alicea, Mike Loynd, Paul Sorrento and Richie Lewis.
Winning, however, does not define Martin's brilliant career. The 2001 team got a first-hand reminder of that prior to a series at Stanford. Leaving the San Francisco airport, Martin and then-assistant Chip Baker gained control of the team's charter bus after the driver suffered a fatal heart attack, safely guiding the bus to the side of a busy freeway. Martin and Baker were presented with the university's prestigious Westcott Award for their bravery in saving the lives of players and staff.
Throughout his career, Martin has stressed the importance of developing true student-athletes. The Seminoles must first win and lose with class; a direct reflection on the man who leads the program. In six seasons of presenting the ACC Sportsmanship Award, Martin's Seminoles won the award twice. Academically, Florida State has been a fixture among the top teams in the ACC for overall GPA. Led by two-time ACC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year James Ramsey, the Seminoles placed a league-best and school record nine student-athletes on the 2012 All-ACC Academic Team. Gage Smith was then recognized as the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in back-to-back years in 2013 and 2014 and over that two-year stretch Florida State led the ACC with a league-best 12 Seminoles named to the All-ACC Academic Team. In all, Florida State baseball student-athletes have been selected to the academic team of distinction 54 times since its 2006 inception, while leading the conference six times in nine years. Five times the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year has been awarded to a Seminole with Buster Posey winning the award in its inaugural season in 2008. Ramsey and Smith have been the last two recipients of the award since 2011 each winning the league's top academic honor twice. Ramsey finished his senior campaign as the 2012 Capital One Baseball Academic All-America of the Year and was named a first team Academic All-American for the second straight year joining Greg Gromek as the only Seminoles to be named a two-time first team Academic All-America® in program history. Adding to the academic accolades in 2008, Posey was named the CoSIDA Academic Player of the Year – the first of its kind for the FSU Baseball program. Smith, along with teammate DJ Stewart, both garnered Academic All-America accolades in 2014 earning a spot on the second and third team, respectively.
There's no question that the Seminoles' outstanding character in the most difficult of times stems directly from their head coach. When Martin transferred to FSU from Wingate Junior College in 1965 to play centerfield for the Seminoles, it marked the beginning of a love affair that has never ended. His love for the game of baseball is matched only by the success he has had teaching it to aspiring players.
From the new facilities to the coaching staff to the unmatched community support, Martin has improved an already strong Seminole baseball tradition with every season. Just when it seems that the program can reach no higher plane, something bigger and better comes along. When Martin took over in 1980, it was taboo to mention "Omaha" around the ball club. No one wanted to jinx an FSU team that had made it to the College World Series only three times in the previous 16 seasons. After taking the Seminoles to that hallowed ground in his very first season, Martin would eventually make Omaha not only a household word, but a second home to the Seminoles, leading the program there 15 times.
Martin began his career by whipping off 12 consecutive 50-win seasons. Interrupted by 49- and 46-win campaigns in 1992 and 1993, he followed with another streak of 50 plus wins in seven straight seasons from 1994 to 2000.
He began coaching junior high baseball and basketball, before taking over as the head basketball coach at Tallahassee Community College. Martin spent three seasons coaching basketball at nearby Godby High School before Woody Woodward was hired as FSU's baseball coach in 1975. Martin joined the Seminoles' staff and served as Woodward's top assistant for four years, then added one more under Howser.
In 1980, Martin's dream came true and remains a thrill to this day. The winner of more games than the first seven FSU coaches combined, he has been an NCAA Tournament participant for 38 consecutive years, counting his last two seasons as an assistant. Martin has pulled on the FSU uniform in Omaha for 17 of the program's 21 trips as either a player, assistant or head coach.
Over the course of his career he's shared that wisdom with 187 players who have been selected in the Major League Draft, eight National Players of the Year and four Golden Spikes Award winners.
Martin's passion for the game and working with young people makes him a popular public speaker throughout the Southeast. His involvement through the years with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes provides another avenue for reaching out to others.
In 2004, Martin was honored by the two schools he attended as an undergraduate. Wingate University, where he spent two years before transferring to FSU, bestowed upon him the honor of Distinguished Alumnus. He was also presented the Bernard F. Sliger Award for Service, named after Florida State's 11th president, which is the highest honor accorded by the Alumni Association. In January of 2015, the Martin Family, longtime supporters of Tallahassee Memorial Hospital's children's center and newborn intensive care unit, were honored as the children's playroom at TMH was named the "Mike Martin Family Playroom."
A 1966 graduate of Florida State, Martin earned his master's degree in 1971. He and wife Carol have three children, Mary Beth, Melanie and Mike, Jr., who is in his 18th season as an assistant coach to his father, and four grandchildren. Mary Beth and husband Tom Buchanan are the parents of Martin's first grandchild Hannah Elizabeth (17) and Lexi, who joined the family in January in 2012. Mike, Jr. and his wife Litzie are the parents of Martin's second and third grandchildren Tyler (14) and T.J. (12).
