We are looking for an executive producer for the documentary project The Navajo Riders.
The Navajo Riders covers the Navajo Nation Council Horseback Ride in which council delegates ride to different parts of the Navajo Nation to learn about the needs of the Navajo people at townhall meetings, recreating an old tradition. The seven day ride begins at the base of Navajo Mountain, goes through the Monument Valley, and ends in Window Rock, the capital of the Navajo Nation. We follow the NaaTsis Aan Riders throughout this exciting 510-mile journey through three states passing the Navajo volcanic fields, a meteor crash site, and a glacial lake. Along the way suffering temperatures above a hundred degrees, we encounter wild mustangs and ancient Anazasi structures built thousands of years ago. During this week-long event we explore the unique traditions of the Navajo culture.
The Navajo Riders will be submitted to the Native American category for the Sundance Film Festival. Navajo producer, director, and writers are attached to the documentary project.
We have been doing the Navajo Council ride for the past eight years. For the past three years, I have been filming the ride. With these images, I created a trailer, The Navajo Riders 2005, to present the idea for this documentary. To see the trailer please go to www.joshuedeltoro.com

UnionDocs is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit documentary arts collaborative and presentation space. Currently, our primary program is The Documentary Bodega Series, featuring new and challenging documentary film and audio works every Sunday evening in our Brooklyn screening room. The series is produced by the Resident Curators of UDR, the UnionDocs Residency Program for Documentary & Media Studies. We also produce a podcast and blog, featuring short media pieces inspired by discussions at the Documentary Bodega and beyond.
UnionDocs is looking for a new resident starting in June. The UnionDocs Residency (UDR) combines an excellent and cooperative living situation with an opportunity for immersion in independent cultural production. Six carefully selected people live together in a historic building at a great location and collaborate to produce a festival-quality documentary series in the first floor screening room.
322 Union is a great place to live. It has a lot of shared resources and a lot of opportunity for fun while also having adequate privacy and a comfort (not always found in NYC communal living). There are three floors, a basement, a grassy backyard with a grill and deck, a big second story porch, and skyline views from the roof. The location is close to excellent transportation making most cool spots in Manhattan and Brooklyn within a short subway ride.
The first floor is a commercial space run by the program director. It includes the screening room, 2 studios for working media artists, the UnionDocs director's office, and access to the basement which has been sound-proofed for music rehearsal and audio recording. Resources on the first floor are readily available to UD Residents outside of the schedule for the Documentary Bodega Series.
On the floors above, there are two nicely-sized three bedroom apartments with a living room, kitchen and bath. Both have wood floors, get lots of light, and were recently renovated. Bedrooms can be locked, but common spaces are shared by the six residents. One is better for cooking large meals and socializing and the other more appropriate for reading, working, and watching films. The common spaces are furnished, so residents need only bring the contents of their bedroom. The building has high-speed internet, a VOIP phone, and washer and dryer.
About $875/month plus deposit.
Please check out our website for more information about UnionDocs and UDR and fill out an application if you are interested:

OPERATION FILMMAKER premiering at IFC Center in New York!
Starts June 4th and runs until June 17th.
In the wake of Operation Iraqi Freedom, American actor Liev Schreiber had an idealistic thought: rescue an Iraqi film student from the rubble of his country and bring him to Prague to work on his new film, Everything is Illuminated. What promises to be a heartwarming tale quickly becomes a mirror of the complex intercultural realities that have plagued the United States' war in Iraq. Director Nina Davenport sets out to document Schreiber's well-intentioned effort but soon finds herself embroiled in an escalating power struggle between herself as filmmaker and her young Iraqi subject.

Comstock Films seeks an editor's assistant/intern.
Technical Requirements: Basic working knowledge of FinalCutPro
Duties: Digitization of footage; synchronization of audio and video, basic logging and organization of footage.
Our approach to filmmaking is, both techincally and creatively, idiosyncratic, so adaptablity is as important as technical expertise and experience. A great opportunity to see a critically and financially successful independent production shop from the inside out; a great foot-in-the-door opportunity for a creative and energetic person.
Our films are sexual/erotic in nature. You will not be working with explicit footage, but must be comfortable with sexual themes.
Additionally, this job may not be a resume builder for all candidates. You will learn a lot and be treated well, but that may not immediately translate into future opportunities with other production companies. Please be ready to explain what you see yourself getting out of working with us.
This is not a paying position at this time.
Please contact peggy at comstockfilms dot com

joiningthedots.tv is a completely new documentary channel. It uses the power of broadband to bring the best documentaries on-demand, direct to your home. We specialise in intelligent, thought provoking films that challenge preconceptions and provide a more coherent picture of the way we live today.
Whatever you are interested in – politics, love, war, culture or religion – joiningthedots.tv brings together a unique collection of films to present a stimulating alternative to the formulaic programming of modern day broadcasters.
We are looking for quality documentaries for the site. We do not aggregate content for the sake of it and therefore we are very choosy about the films we acquire. We are a pay-per-view / subscription site and work with content holders on a revenue share basis.
We have launched with 60 fantastic titles and will be adding 5 – 10 per month.
We are partnered with The Independent newspaper in the UK, who will be running a version of jtd via their website. We will be marrying their editorial excellence with our filmic storytelling by embedding links and trailers in their editorials, which have similar subjects to the films.
All films are piracy protected and territories that may have already gone can be geo-filtered. For the strongest of films we acquire, we will offer the option of selling DVDs via the site. We also have a partnership with Picturehouse cinemas in the UK. They will screen one of our flagship films on a joiningthedots.tv / Independent branded night in a UK wide release every six weeks.

Hi guys,
If anyone is in need of transcripts, please contact me at email@example.com
What we do for you:
We offer accurate and bilingual transcripts with time codes. Although we do digitize your tapes for you if needed, we also provide you with a way of uploading your footage online so that you do not have to pay for couriering costs. We guarantee our clients' transcripts within a 24-48 hour period and are flexible to your needs.
What we provide for you:
We, at Multi-Media, know that creating a "paper cut†of your footage is time consuming and inconvenient. We also know that paying an editor to work with you in an edit suite for several hours, just to do the initial organizing of your footage, becomes quite expensive. We decided to help our clients by providing them with a free tool to do preliminary work from your home, office, or anywhere you have an Internet connection. We provide a free online tool that allows non-fiction filmmakers to upload their footage online, view their footage alongside their transcripts, avoid the hassle of tapes, work when and where they want, create a complete editing script and machine readable EDL online, create, organize, and reorganize clips, and work with colleagues globally. Our clients benefit from their ability to prepare and organize their editing scripts free of cost before entering an editing suite, reducing both time and expenses. We also invite our clients to store their footage, transcripts, and EDLs online as portable portfolios to share with colleagues and collaborators.
Our Invitation:
To show you how useful our service really is, we are offering you a free thirty-minute transcript on us and 10% off your entire first project. To reserve this offer, register on www.RoughCutOnline.com today and this offer will be available to you until August 31, 2008. Once your transcript is complete, you will be able to begin using our rough cutting tool for no additional costs.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email or phone me at 416-977-3489 and I will be more than happy to discuss your requirements.

Wow, that gives "online" editing a whole new meaning.
But hey, having all my interviews transcribed in 24 to 48 hours? I'd love that. Last time, my interns needed many weeks to get it all done...
Mon 2 Jun 2008
Your poor interns ;)
We really try to be as accommodating as possible to the needs of our clients. If you are in a really big hurry and need something done in 24-48 hours, we will rush to have it at the most convenient time for you.
Yes, the online tool sure puts a spin on things. I would love for you guys to check it out and tell me what you think of it because it is a relatively new tool that we have designed and we are still working to improve it in anyway we can, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
You can actually play around with it a bit without registering by going to www.RoughCutOnline.com and click on "Learn more" and then click on "try it now".

Among the darlings of the underground intelligentsia, NYC duo Blues Control has been linked with a murderers' row of independent record labels geared toward those who like their music and their drugs experimental — Holy Mountain, Woodsist, Siltbreeze, Not Not Fun. For new LP "Valley Tangents," as if continuing some circuit, they aligned with Drag City.
The record continues Blues Control's fascination with avant-jazz sounds, surprise noise blasts and interjected found sound. At its worst, it descends into hipster-approved elevator music, but more often than not it coalesces into something transcendent.
Pink Reason and Day Creeper round out a stacked Saturday lineup.

The purpose of the Long Range Plan Update is to provide guidance on transit options and funding sources for future development of TARC; to provide a basis for coordinating future funding and policies with other decision makers; and to provide a consistent direction for connecting short-term plans with long-term aspirations.
"It pretty much paints the picture of where TARC is today and what needs to be done to respond to growing needs out there now and in the future," said TARC Executive Director J. Barry Barker. "There are some promising policy changes and low-cost improvements we can make today, but it's pretty clear that additional investment will be needed for a significant change in the service we provide."
TARC prepared the 61-page plan in consultation with HDR, of Alexandria, Va., and with funding provided by the Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA). The report indicates that TARC and the greater Louisville community have a tremendous opportunity to continue to build a more robust and comprehensive transportation system. With proper financing and political support, the system can provide a broader range of transportation options that respond to changing demographics, the changing climate, and changing consumer preferences.
This update is the first comprehensive review of the community's transportation needs and options since 2006, when advanced transit options were removed from KIPDA's long-range plan because of concerns about whether they could be funded. The projects — including the Light Rail Transportation Tomorrow project in the South Central corridor — were eliminated from active consideration in spite of some 500 letters and emails of protest from community residents.
To revive a Light Rail project or another advanced transit option, the report says, TARC would need to increase the local occupational license fee adding to the existing Mass Transit Trust Fund. TARC anticipates that an increase in the occupational tax — from .2% to .4% of every dollar earned — could generate approximately $40 million annually in local revenue dedicated to transit. This local investment in public transportation would provide TARC with stable, consistent funds for service expansion and provide the local matching funds that could leverage many sources of federal funds.
A copy of the full report is available here or by calling TARC at (502) 561-5122.

Bill would extend statute of limitations for child sex crimes
A bill introduced by Sen. Richard Sears would extend the age at which Vermonters who were sexually abused as children could report the allegations for possible prosecution.
But the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said he doesnt believe the bill will be taken up in the House until the next legislative session.
Sears, a Democrat from Bennington County, said the bill, which would extend the statute of limitations for certain sex crimes involving child victims, was written after he spoke with prosecutors at the Bennington County states attorneys office, including Christina Rainville, the chief deputy.
Sears said one of the arguments he found most effective involved the prosecution of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky last year. Based on the ages of the victims who came forward, authorities would only have been able to file charges on behalf of six of the eight men who testified if the incidents had happened in Vermont,
Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to serve 30 to 60 years.
The bill that Sears, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, created would amend the laws for sexual assault, lewd and lascivious conduct, sexual exploitation of a minor and lewd or lascivious conduct with a child in cases where the victim was younger than 18 so they can be reported anytime until the victim is 40. As the laws are now written, the reporting must be before the victim reaches 24 or within 10 years of the time the incident is reported.
We went with 40 because we felt that if you hadnt reported it by then, it would be difficult to prosecute at any rate, Sears said.
While the bill was passed unanimously by the Senate, it has been in the House Judiciary Committee since March 26.
Rep. William Lippert, a Democrat from Chittenden County who is chairman of the committee, said he didnt expect the bill would be taken up until the first half of the next legislative session in 2014. This term, the committee has been busy with the end-of-life law, the genetically modified organism issue and other complicated issues.
We have not had a chance to take (S.20) up yet. Thats not, however, necessarily a reflection of either my own position or (the positions of other) committee members, but its really a matter of workload. We have a great deal on our plate, he said.
Rainville, who has prosecuted many cases of sexual abuse with child victims, said the bill was important because it would allow law-enforcement to protect todays children.
If we know that someone had committed crimes against children 15, 20 years ago and we see that person hanging out with children (now) we can do nothing to protect those children, she said.
Rainville said that many young victims of sexual abuse never come forward. Others come forward only when they themselves have children or when they learn that their abuser is still having contact with children.
As a result, Rainville said it was important to protect the rights of a person to bring forward an accusation that can be investigated and prosecuted because late reporting is very common.
Sears said he didnt think the bill would take long to support if its brought forward.
We always say, You should never say its a simple bill, but it really is a pretty simple concept: What should be the statute of limitations for reporting child sexual abuse, he said.

Morrissey Blasts Robin Williams Death Coverage (Recap)
In a new post on his fansite True to You, Morrissey inexplicably felt the need to rank Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, the husky voiced model-turned-actress who passed away a day after Williams, and Richard Attenborough, the English actor and filmmaker who died Aug. 24.
In Moz's mind, less attention should have been paid to the passing of Robin Williams because "It was Lauren, not Robin, who changed motion picture history. Yet modern media has an odd way of forgetting the more senior servers of the arts."
Check out Morrissey's full letter - here.

Where to Fish at New Symrna Beach?
Ok guys I need some advice, I read the forums everyday but rarely post. I will be going to New Symrna beach for vaction in the middle of June and was hoping to do some fishing while I was down there. Laying on the beach for 6 hours isn't my type of vacation, I will leave that for my wife to enjoy . I have read online that the Indian river and Mosquito lagoon are great fishing options down there. What I want to know, is where should/can I fish down there on land and have a good opportunity to catch some fish. Yes I know getting a guide who has a boat would be the ideal option but this trip has to be budget friendly. Even if I only catch one fish I will be happy. So basically...where should I go while I am down there, should I concentrate on surf fishing or should I try the rivers and lagoons. Are there public acces spots on the rivers and lagoons that I can access by land? Can you fish in any of the parks or reserves down there? Would these be good options? Also if you have any recommendations on tackle and gear that would be appreciated to. Thanks in advance for your responses. Hope to post some pictures of some fish when I return.
Don't fish saltwater but there was a "shorty" on the Weather Channel last summer. NSB has the highest incidents of shark attacks on the east coast. Thought you might want to know beforehand.

New Smyrna Mosquito Lagoon
Do a search on the message board for "New Smyrna Beach". I went there last June and received several replys to my post about access points etc. My experience was that the surf fishing was pretty rough for the gear that I had, but I caught a few whiting and baby redfish. I really needed a bigger surf rod with more weight. I did wade fish a couple of days in Mosquito Lagoon. Caught several catfish, but no trout, redfish, etc. By mid june it is pretty hot down there so the redfish etc didn't seem to be in the wadable sections of the lagoon. If I had it to do over again I would either get a guide or rent a kayak if $ is an issue. If you search some of the kayak fishing boards, you may be able to find someone who will rent you there already geared up kayak. (I had some offers for this in Tampa before). I found myself looking over my shoulder for alligators most of the time I was wading. I did see a bunch of manatees which was cool. It is a huge lagoon and wading is better than not fishing, but it is hard when there is so much water you can't get to. Good luck

Recently, I have noticed that numerous posters and signs have been popping up all across our city informing everyone that our taxes will go up 49% if the proposed plan by our city council to drill two new wells and treatment facilities is approved. I have been attending the town hall meetings and found that this does not seem to be the total truth. There are numerous options that are available to our city council that will bring this figure down for our community property taxpayers. There seems to be a special interest group paying for all these signs. Richard W. Beasley's name appears as treasurer for this group, but it stated "Paid for by Desal H=2No" on the signs. Who are they, and what do they have to gain?
I am a retired individual, live on a fixed income and realize how hard it would be to have my taxes go up, but I also know what it would do to our city without an adequate water supply. Our property will become worthless, and our business community will dwindle. Right now, we are unable to water our lawns or wash our cars whenever we wish. What would it be like when our water runs out?
After attending two of the town hall meetings, I realized that very few Beeville citizens attended these sessions. There are many facts that everyone should be aware of, and I certainly hope that before you go vote as the special interest group wants you to that you will learn what they are. I implore the Bee-Picayune to publish the comparison statement that was presented at the last town hall meeting. This statement will let our citizens realize that this is the most cost effective plan. Being able to purchase bonds will cost us less than seeking funds from other sources. Whether this bond issue passes or fails, the council will still have to go forward with another similar plan. The council was elected by the citizens of Beeville to provide us with the best solution to the issues of our city. I believe that they have done an outstanding job providing us with a solution to this huge problem.
Be an informed voter, learn the facts and do not let this special interest group lead you towards making a bad decision.

A selfless act over the Thanksgiving holiday has a Bakersfield, California man and his dog healing from painful burns.
24-year-old Josh Blackburn was preparing to deep pit roast turkeys when his family's small dog fell into the fire.
Without thinking, Blackburn reached in and saved the dog's life.
"I can feel, but it's all numb," said Blackburn pointing to the blisters on his thumb.
It's the only part of his right hand with skin.

McMullen County commissioners met with representatives from Red Dog Express out of Corsicana to discuss the preliminary plans for a dual 18-wheeler truck wash for the intersection of River and Frio streets.
The preliminary plan is for a facility capable of washing two 18-wheelers at a time. According to Judge James Teal, the plan could mean having to move or tear down houses on the site.
"It would be big if they decided to do it," Teal said.
But, he said there are some concerns to address before a decision can be made.
"The concern that I have is any waste that comes off when washing these 18-wheelers, what they are going to do with it environmentally," Teal said. "We haven't got the engineering information on it yet to know if I support it or not."
Part of Teal's concerns also stem from the proposed site's location being on a flood plain. Teal said the county is responsible for flood plains so the McMullen County commissioners need to be careful with what they allow to be built in flood plains.
In other McMullen County court news, the commissioners approved a $1,000 donation to the Texas Wildfire Relief Fund.
The next meeting for the McMullen County commissioners is set for Tuesday, April 30, at 9 a.m. in the McMullen County Courthouse.

Two University High School students were killed Saturday night in a car crash on a residential road. One teenage boy is still recovering in the hospital.
Many people woke up in the Spokane Valley to a nightmare because two of their friends didn't wake up at all. Some hearing the news from each other.
"I said, 'Well, are they alive?' And he said 'No, they're dead,' and I said, 'No, that's not possible. They can't be dead.' But they are," said U-High senior Sarah Melvin.
"It's just been really tough because we are a tight knit community. Everybody cares about each other," said U-High assistant principal Ken Vansickle.
Around 9 p.m. Saturday night the two girls, Josie Freier and McKenzie Mott were traveling in a sedan driven by Preston Maher.
They were northbound on Bates when deputies say it appeared Maher lost control, the car hit the curb, and hit a tree passenger-side first.
Deputies say the driver was not impaired but he was likely speeding.
"Once I think I realize and then it's just like, she's not coming back," said U-High junior Kelsi Walker.
Josie and McKenzie were both sophomores at U-High. Friends describe them as fun-loving, hilarious, spontaneous, caring and sweet. McKenzie played on the U-High soccer team.
"Practice was always fun with her. She'd always be there to listen to your problems and stuff and just loved to hear about your day," said Walker.
Sonja Bertrand knew both girls well and was with them last night at a birthday party where they watched a movie and were eating s'mores.
"They said they had to go back to baby-sit someone. They called Preston and he picked them up. That was the last I heard," said Bertrand.
She says the driver, Preston, was planning on taking Josie to homecoming this year.
"They were nice to everybody. They didn't judge anybody on what they looked like, they just tried to be friends with everybody," said Bertrand.

- Irrigation proves a necessity this year for Alabama growers
- Little leaf spot
- Bollworm numbers low
Droughty growing conditions made it easy to distinguish between the "haves" and the "have-nots" of irrigation during the Central Alabama Crops Tour held in mid-August.
More About:
It has been a season filled with contrasts for many farmers in the lower Southeast this year, with extremely dry conditions at planting and plenty of rainfall in July, only to be followed by more drought conditions as the year progressed.
Drought continued to intensify in the region during August, as Hurricane Irene bypassed states that needed rain the most.
These growing conditions made it easy to distinguish between the "haves" and the "have-nots" of irrigation during the Central Alabama Crops Tour held in mid-August.
Robert Walters, who grows peanuts and cotton in the area, says the only thing he hasn't liked about his irrigation scheduler this year is that it hasn't told him "no."
"Our irrigation water comes out of a lake, and we use IrrigatorPro for scheduling irrigation. There were times when it didn't appear as if it needed watering, but it was running out below the surface.
"If rain didn't give us at least 6/10-inch, I'd just keep the irrigation running. We try to run it in the evening, from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m.," he says.
Walters also uses the irrigation scheduler for his cotton, which yielded almost 1,000 pounds per acre in last year's drought conditions. "We put irrigation out for a reason — it's not to hang Christmas lights on," he says.
Alabama peanut producers with irrigation certainly have benefited this year, says Kris Balkcom, Auburn University Extension peanut specialist.
"Peanuts only grow vines until they are about 100 days old, and then they start slowing down. If we've got the water, we need to go ahead and close in that canopy and keep back the weeds.
"It's important to keep the soil cool. IrrigatorPro has been proven to make the highest peanut yields when using it to schedule irrigation," he says.
It's important in a dry year, says Balkcom, to get peanuts off to a good start.
"After a one-inch rain, when the environmental conditions have changed and it's cooled off, come back the next day and put out another inch. Make those peanuts good and wet in the soil profile. Then you can maintain them on a weekly basis throughout the remainder of the season," he says.
While U.S. peanut acreage is down this year — down 10 percent in Alabama — pricing opportunities appear promising, he says. "Peanuts that were not contracted last year that went into the loan are being brought out at $750 to $800, so that gives a little more incentive for growing peanuts," says Balkcom.
Austin Hagan, Auburn University Extension plant pathologist, says his state's peanut producers have been spared the worst of disease problems this year.

McHENRY – While River Road has been reopened, traffic delays are expected next week on Charles J. Miller Road at the bridge.
Delays can be expected between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until about Thursday, May 16.
This work had been expected to begin Wednesday, April 24, but was delayed due to heavy rain and the subsequent flooding.
River Road heading south from Charles Miller Road was reopened Monday.
The construction is part of a two-phase project that will widen the two-lane Charles Miller Road to four lanes and construct a second two-lane bridge over the Fox River to create two lanes of traffic in each direction.
Officials expect this phase of the two-part project to be completed by Oct. 15. Work began in November.
For information and to sign up for updates on the the project, visit charlesmillerroad.com. Emails will be sent to those that sign up alerting them where and when construction activities and potential traffic delays will occur.

The good news is that right NOW, you don't need to supplement. Even if you did want to give a feeding to your husband to give in a bottle, you'd still need to pump at that time to maintain your supply. So there really isn't any "help" in the sense of more sleep. Nursing (which is much more efficient) or pumping, you're up anyway. Once you get the pump, you'll be able to bottle feed breast milk which is superior in every way. Since you're not having any issues, why not choose to give your baby the best for as long as possible?
The lack of sleep won't affect your health. I promise. If it did, Momma's of all time, all over the world would be sick. The biggest help is having things organized so that you can get back to sleep. If you're changing diapers during night feeds, have DH do them. It gives you a few more minutes to sleep/wake/get your wits about you.
The best way to catch up on your sleep is to nap with your baby during the day. So you're not getting the 8 hours of sleep you once were, all at once. But you will get it throughout the day.
As for pumping at work, it can't hurt to ask. They might surprise you. Even if you can't pump as often as you'd like, some pumping is better than none.

In the original words, written in 1912 by Grant Clarke, one learns that Ragtime Cowboy Joe is "a high-faluting, scooting, shooting son-of-a-gun from Arizona."
Later versions have it that he is "a hifalootin', scootin, shootin Son-of-a-gun from Arizona" while still later versions make him a "high falootin' rootin' tootin' Son-of-a-gun from Arizona."
Whether he is high-faluting, hifalootin' or high falootin', one wonders to what he is up? This appears to be a gerund derived from the verb "to falute" or "to faloot." What, pray tell, might this mean?
What made him "scoot" is an issue for another day. And perhaps why he quit scooting and started rooting.

This appears to be a gerund derived from the verb "to falute" or "to faloot."
Gerund? Looks like a participle to me.

high·fa·lu·tin or hi·fa·lu·tin ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hf-ltn) also high·fa·lu·ting (-ltn, -ltng)
adj. Informal
Pompous or pretentious: highfalutin reasons for denying direct federal assistance to the unemployed (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
[Origin unknown.]
Regional Note: H.L. Mencken, in his famous book The American Language, mentions highfalutin as an example of the many native U.S. words coined during the 19th-century period of vigorous growth. Although highfalutin is characteristic of American folk speech, it is not a true regionalism because it has always occurred in all regions of the country, with its use and popularity spurred by its appearance in print. The origin of highfalutin, like that of many folk expressions, is obscure. It has been suggested that the second element, -falutin, comes from the verb flutehence high-fluting, a comical indictment of people who think too highly of themselves.

From word detective:
Dear Word Detective: I once heard that "highfalutin" originated from a fancy variety of flour which produced a richer baked product, or perhaps from an ingredient in certain flours, but I have been having trouble finding this information in any reference sources. Do you have any information? -- Tom Wiggin, via the internet.
I don't want to sound paranoid, but you didn't happen to pick up that theory from Martha Stewart, did you? It's not that I have anything against Ms. Stewart, you understand. If I awoke some morning with an inexplicable compulsion to festoon my dog's water bowl with colorful handmade silk butterflies, I would definitely seek Martha's guidance. It's just that, on several occasions over the last few years, readers have cited her TV show as the source of some very colorful, but seriously whacked, stories about word origins.
In fairness to Martha Stewart, I should note that most of these stories seem to come from her "expert" guests, not Martha herself, which makes sense. People have a natural inclination to interpret the world in terms of what they know best. A few years ago, for instance, one of Martha's guests, a potter, blithely declared that the phrase "in fine fettle" came from pottery-making. (It doesn't, although the word "fettle" does have a technical meaning in the craft.) So it's not surprising that a baker, perhaps, might come up with a theory explaining "highfalutin" (meaning "pompous or absurdly pretentious") as originally coming from a technical reference to a certain kind of baking ingredient.
That doesn't mean the theory is correct, of course, which it isn't. The origin of "highfalutin" (or the variant "highfaluting") is not known for certain, but chances are good that it began as a corruption of "high-flying" or "high-flown," meaning pretentiously affluent (or, as New Yorkers say, "hoity-toity"). Americans have always had a healthy disrespect for wealth and power and the arrogant attitudes they spawn, and "highfalutin" appeared in the mid-1800's, the creative heyday of dissing the rich. Along with "highfalutin," the rich (or wannabe-rich) of the era were accused of "putting on airs," being "on a high horse," being "high-toned," "stuck up," "uppity" and "stuffed shirts."
Note: Since this column was first posted on the web, I have received several comments from helpful readers pointing out that the basis of the erroneous "flour" story of "highfaluting" mentioned above was probably a confusion of "highfalutin'" with "high gluten" flour, which does indeed produce a better grade of bread.

A gerund IS a present participle, or at least it was about a hundred years ago when I was in grammar school.

It all began with students learning the art of calligraphy.
"It is an art. Calligraphy is an art," she said.
The transition from this to Chinese seems almost natural given the flow of the language's writing.
"After that they expressed an interest in learning a language. They expressed an interest in Chinese," Authement said.
To help inspire the students, the teacher brought some of her Chinese items to class to show the students.
"When I lived in China, I got a few scrolls on silk," she said. "It was writing in Chinese characters but calligraphy style.
"I also brought one done by a student for my wedding."
Well, that cinched the proposition.
Now, they wanted to learn Chinese.
They were fascinated.
"After two or three weeks they could go to those scrolls, and they would recognize characters," she said.
"Some of them did go to a Chinese restaurant and say a few words in Chinese," she said, emphasizing that this was to the astonishment of their mothers.
Now these students are not going to be carrying on conversations in Chinese or writing their essays in it.
"It is an introduction," Authement said. "We didn't learn the language.
"Some can count in Chinese."
Being fluent was not the goal of the class.
"The goal was to expose them and leave them with something," she said.
And what each student received was not just knowledge but a book—that they wrote.
"They could talk about their family, favorite foods, hobbies or whatever," she said.
"Then they came up with an idea to do English on the bottom of the page.
"So they translated the writing, and that is why we came up with that."
While each student received one free copy of their own book, all were given the chance to purchase more.
"Some of them gave them as gifts."
Authement said that it is important for students to be exposed to different cultures and languages when they are young.
Some, she said, have expressed an interest in continuing to learn this language.
"The kids embraced it," she said.
And teaching the language was a pleasure for Authement.
She graduated at the top of her class in 1978 from Moscow University with a double major of international business relations and Chinese.
She also has her doctorate but does not claim it, because the bureaucracy involved in proving it to the U.S. education system is so complex.
Through the years, she has used her knowledge of the language to hold several positions, including that of college professor.

Prospect Podcast #8 2012 Bowman Baseball Buys
SF Giants Prospect Andrew Susac
Sports Card Radio
Players Talked About In Show:
I purchase a fair share of cards on Check Out My Cards and other websites and recently I got a bunch of 2012 Bowman Baseball autographs including some rare ones. One being an Andrew Susac Orange Refrector Autograph #/25. I've seen Andrew play in person a lot recently and he always hits the ball hard and ends up having a good game. Although for the season he is only hitting around .240 so I hope by me purchasing one of his autographs it will bring him good luck even when I don't get to see him play.
One of Susac's teammates on the Giants, Tommy Joseph is also a catcher and I saw him play quite often during the 2011 season. It is exciting for Giants fans to have two young catchers to look forward to even when they have a star in Buster Posey already on the big league team. Too many catchers is never a bad problem to have. In the stack of Bowman cards I bought there was a Joseph refractor autograph #/500.
In total I got about 15-20 different autographs from the Bowman set, the most rare being a 1/1 printing plate autograph of Nick Delmonico. Never seen him play but the price was right. At the end of this short episode I talk about two players I've seen that need some cards in Bowman. Josh Whitaker of the Oakland A's and Anthony Meo of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Were Cuban spies responsible for a sex smear of Sen. Robert Menendez?
WashPo reports espionage behind campaign
You may recall that back in November 2012, a right-wing semi-news site, the Daily Caller, tried and failed to tie New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to a sex scandal.
The Daily Caller reported that two anonymous Dominican women claimed in a video that Menendez had paid them for sex. The women later recanted and said they had been paid to lie about the senator.
Fast forward and the story really gets juicy.
The Washington Post has reported that the CIA has evidence that Cuban spies concocted the whole smear job. Menendez is a big critic of the Castro regime.
The Post reports:
"According to a former U.S. official with firsthand knowledge of government intelligence, the CIA had obtained credible evidence, including Internet protocol addresses, linking Cuban agents to the prostitution claims and to efforts to plant the story in U.S. and Latin American media.
The alleged Cuba connection was laid out in an intelligence report provided last year to U.S. government officials and sent by secure cable to the FBI's counterintelligence division, according to the former official and a second person with close ties to Menendez who had been briefed on the matter.
The intelligence information indicated that operatives from Cuba's Directorate of Intelligence helped create a fake tipster using the name "Pete Williams," according to the former official. The tipster told FBI agents and others he had information about Menendez participating in poolside sex parties with underage prostitutes while vacationing at the Dominican Republic home of Salomon Melgen, a wealthy eye doctor, donor and friend of the senator."
Tipster "Pete Williams" also approached a Washington watchdog group, which passed the tip to ABC News. ABC checked out the allegations, dismissed them and spiked the non-story. The Daily Caller went ahead and published them. The FBI, according to the Post, checked out the allegations thoroughly and also came up empty.
The Post's media critic, Erik Wemple, points out the Daily Caller never retracted its story or apologized. The author of the original Daily Caller, Matthew Boyle, now at Breitbart.com, gave Wemple a "no comment" this week.
The idea of a conservative e-pamphlet being a dupe in a Cuban spy operation is delicious and amusing, except to Menendez. Perhaps now the Daily Caller will consider making a correction, assuming an apology is out of the question.

Ski areas report robust holiday businessJanuary 02,2013
By Bruce Edwards
The state's ski resorts are basking in the afterglow of the first major holiday of the ski season – one that received a boost from two well-timed storms that dumped more than two feet of snow over the Green Mountains.
The Christmas-New Year's holiday period was one of the best in years with several resorts reporting record business, Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said Wednesday.
The percentage increase in business over last year's holiday period, which was not a good year, "was anywhere from 20 to 50 percent higher," Riehle said.
"Just off the charts," he said.
Killington Resort, the largest resort in the East, reported a double-digit average increase in business levels over the holiday period compared to last year.
"We were up 14 percent across the board," Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson said Wednesday. "So, lessons, food and beverage, retail, rental, lodging and skier visits."
It wasn't a record breaking holiday at Okemo Mountain Resort, but an excellent holiday all the same, said Okemo spokeswoman Bonnie MacPherson.
Although exact numbers weren't available, MacPherson said business was "way up" from the year ago holiday period.
Even before the recent storms, she said lodging reservations were already at 90 percent capacity.
The first major storm right after Christmas gave Okemo's snowmakers a bit of a rest.
"We were really scrambling prior to the holidays with snowmaking," MacPherson said. "Going into that week, we had gone through 115 million gallons of water in our snowmaking system and we'd logged over 500 man hours staffing snowmaking."
It was also an excellent holiday at Bolton Valley.
"The fresh snow really helped boost business." Bolton Valley spokesman Josh Arneson said in an email. "Overall, for the week we were ahead of budget and way ahead of last year's numbers."

"Targeting Nuclear Programs in War and Peace"
Discussion Paper Paper 2009-11, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
October 2009
Authors: Matthew Fuhrmann, Former Associate, Project on Managing the Atom, JanuaryAugust 2009; Former Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program, 2008December 2009, Sarah Kreps, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20072008

When do states attack or consider attacking nuclear infrastructure in nonnuclear weapons states? Despite the importance of this question, relatively few scholarly articles have attempted to identify the factors that lead a state to attack another state's nuclear facilities. This paper conducts the first large-n analysis on when states use force as a way to control proliferation. We develop four arguments on when staes attack nuclear infrastructure and identify specific hypotheses that flow from each of them. We test these hypotheses using a new data set on all instances when countries have struck or seriously considered striking other states' nuclear infrastructure between 1941 and 2000. Our findings challenge existing arguments that states are deterred from attacking nuclear programs by the prospect of a military retaliation from the proliferating state or concerns about international condemnation. Instead, we find that states are more likely to attack nuclear programs when they believe that the proliferating state might use nuclear weapons or engage in other offensive behavior. States are willing to accept substantial costs in attacking if they believe that a particular country's acquisition of nuclear weapons poses a significant threat to their security.
