"You know who should have won. My friends can't be straight with me! It was rigged. That's like family. They can't give it to… a stranger!"
Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever
During a pivotal scene in Saturday Night Fever, Tony Manero (John Travolta) realized that his dance contest victory was more about popularity than performance. Tony was a great dancer, but he knew he had been out danced on that particular night. His friends, however, were not that objective. They voted based on how they felt about Tony. His preferential treatment – though fictional – exemplifies how the Oscars sometimes determines its "best." It is not always about the quality of the work. At times, in addition to popularity, the determining factors include sentiment and compensation.
As an avid observer of the Oscars for many years, I have experienced countless moments of disbelief. The first one occurred during the 1974 Best Actor contest when Art Carney won for his role in Harry and Tonto against a field that included Jack Nicholson (Chinatown) and Al Pacino (The Godfather Part II). No doubt Carney, a comedic actor and older than his fellow nominees, was the sentimental favorite. The unlikely win by Carney provided a more compelling narrative: "Honeymooners" star conquers drama with Best Actor win! I'm sure the voters also felt that Pacino and Nicholson, unlike Carney, would have more opportunities to be nominated and eventually win. Nicholson would go on to win the following year, and Pacino would finally win in the early 90's (more on that later).
Another compelling narrative that has been irresistible to Academy voters is: Actor triumphs in directing debut! Such was the case with Robert Redford in 1981 and Kevin Costner in 1990. Ironically, both wins came at the expense of Martin Scorsese's superior work in Raging Bull and Goodfellas, respectively. Even though Ordinary People is a fine movie that survives the test of time, there is no way it should have topped Martin Scorsese and Raging Bull in the Directing and Best Picture categories. The same is especially true for the woefully overrated Dances With Wolves in regards to Goodfellas.
Then there is what I like to call the "make-up" Oscar which is used to compensate an actor for his or her body of work. As much as I love Pacino, his 1992 Best Actor Oscar was more about recognizing the sum total of his remarkable career, which includes The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon, than his over-the-top performance in Scent of a Woman. Many – and I include myself in that number – felt that Pacino's Oscar came at the expense of Denzel Washington's extraordinary turn in Malcolm X. Perhaps Washington's loss was meant as a slap to Spike Lee, an outspoken Hollywood outsider, or due to the controversial title character.
Nine years later, however, Washington won the Best Actor Oscar for his 2001 performance in Training Day. Yes, it was fun seeing Washington play the bad guy, but based on what I've seen of him during interviews and by his own admission, Washington's performance, ad-libs and all, was not much of a departure from his actual personality. Nevertheless, the Academy did not miss the opportunity to compensate Washington for Malcolm X while at the same time punishing that year's frontrunner, Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, for behaving "badly" at a movie awards show in Great Britain. Crowe's Oscar snub was made even more obvious when the film he starred in took home the major awards.

Japanese themes
Dreams by the Yard Full! (Japanese: 夢の跡地!ムンナとムシャーナ!! The Site of Dreams! Munna and Musharna!!) is the sixth episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 663rd episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on October 21, 2010 and in the United States on March 12, 2011.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
With his first Gym Badge at stake, Ash's battle challenge rages on. So far, our hero has defeated one of the three brothers who lead the Striaton City Gym, and lost to another. He now faces the deciding match against Cilan. Early in the match, the Gym Leader's Pansage proves to be a formidable opponent, and Cilan declares Ash's battling style a bit bland and predictable. Just then, Ash tells Oshawott to aim its Water Gun against the Gym wall, a creative strategy that ultimately leads to Ash's victory, earning him the Trio Badge!
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is busy with its next assignment—to extract the mysterious substance known as future energy from the Dreamyard, an abandoned research facility. But one of the research scientists, Dr. Fennel, has discovered their plans. She joins Ash, Iris, and Cilan, as well as the Pokémon Munna and Musharna, in an attempt to stop Jessie, James, and Meowth. However, it is to no avail, and Team Rocket escapes with the data!
Back at the Gym, Cilan reveals that as a Pokémon Connoisseur, he's fascinated by Ash's ability to see the pairing possibilities between Trainer and Pokémon. His interest ultimately leads him to ask if he can join our hero on his journey. Ash agrees, and the traveling trio of Ash, Cilan, and Iris is born!
It is the decisive match for the Trio Badge at the Striaton Gym for Ash Ketchum. Ash had made the decision to challenge all three Gym Leaders and had only secured one victory: the match against Chili and his Pansear with Tepig. Having lost one match to Cress and his Panpour when they defeated Pikachu, Ash must now win this battle in order to prove his worthiness of the Badge. Will he be able to do it?
The sunlight grows strong above the Gym as Pansage gathers light with the sprout on its head. Shaping the collected energy into a ball, Pansage moves it to the side of its body, pulls back, and fires it at Oshawott. Now taking on the form of an arrow, the SolarBeam snakes through the air as Oshawott stares in disbelief, its eyes wide open. Ash calls out to Oshawott, but...
Quickly, Oshawott grabs the scalchop on its belly and sticks it out - the SolarBeam now hits the scalchop, the force of the impact so strong that Oshawott is sent backwards into the rocks - Oshawott angles its scalchop, and the SolarBeam deflects upwards, its power now returned to the sky. The crowd stares in disbelief; the cheerleaders, and the three Gym Leaders themselves gasp in awe as they witness the remarkable feat performed by the Sea Otter Pokémon, while Iris, from a distance, silently supports its achievement.
Cilan, his opponent, is full of praise for Oshawott, but nevertheless Ash is not completely out of the woods - he still has to finish the battle. Pansage starts off with a flurry of Bullet Seed attacks, but Oshawott once again deflects them with ease, its scalchop acting as a shield. Confident, Ash commands Oshawott to use Razor Shell.
Oshawott readies its scalchop - it glows blue for a while, before Oshawott jumps up and prepares to strike Pansage. However, the Grass Monkey Pokémon does not let that happen. Quickly, it fires another flurry of Bullet Seeds at Oshawott in mid-air, and Oshawott, once confident, now falls into panic and disarray. As the Water Pokémon struggles, it loses its grip on its sea-shell shaped appendage, and the scalchop flies to the edge of the field, propelled by the momentum of the incoming Bullet Seed.
Oshawott falls to the ground, and its supporters (Ash, Pikachu and Iris), are now shocked by the thought of what is to come. Under the command of its Trainer, Oshawott gets up and attempts to retrieve its fallen scalchop, but is blocked by another flurry of Bullet Seeds fired by Pansage. As Oshawott attempts to dodge the seeds, it is eventually hit by one, and it is made semi-conscious.
Cilan then announces a slogan of his: "Time for the battle to be served!", and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement. In his dream-like Pokémon Connoisseur state, he briefly mentions how Ash uses "simple, deducible, and bland" attack patterns and has no compatibility with Oshawott, unlike the bond shared between him and his Pansage, whose attacks have the "aroma of a freshly mowed lawn". He ends with a simple pose and the cheerleaders again go wild with excitement.
Cilan then comments on Ash's poor choice of Pokémon with regard to type compatibilities. Ash explains that types do not matter, but again, Cilan does not believe otherwise, claiming he is becoming desperate, and with his "sour" attitude, he will "just spoil the flavor of Oshawott's battle". Ash states they will see about that, and immediately, he pulls a stunt: he asks Oshawott to aim its Water Gun at the wall. Though the observers (including Oshawott itself) gasp at the command, Oshawott carries it out specifically. Its Water Gun ricochets off the wall, between the rocks and towards its scalchop - the scalchop flies into the air, and Oshawott catches it. With that, it readies another Razor Shell attack, and this time, it manages to hit its target; Pansage is caught by surprise and limps backwards.
Cilan tells Pansage to use Bite. At that instant, Ash tells Oshawott to use Razor Shell, and both Pokémon rush towards each other, ready to attack. Immediately, a bang is heard, and both Pokémon seem to have delivered a glancing blow; they face away from each other and stand there, motionless. For a moment it seems like both Pokémon are still capable of attacking, but it is Pansage that gives way: it does not endure any longer and faints, causing Cilan to feel shocked and sending a wave of disappointment through the group of cheerleaders.
Oshawott sits on the ground to rest. Ash is now victorious, having defeated two of the three Striaton City Gym Leaders.
The three Gym Leaders, Cilan, Chili and Cress, award Ash the Trio Badge. Turning to Iris, Ash tries to show off his Badge, but she teases him, telling him how he tried to be different by challenging all three Gym Leaders when he was not supposed to, and using Pokémon of incompatible types. Ash gets annoyed. He then rebukes Iris by trying to challenge her to a Pokémon battle, but she refuses, seemingly embarrassed. Cilan steps in and talks about the two's "bouquet", and Iris subsequently scolds Ash for being a "small child", not knowing what "bouquet" is. As Cilan questions if the two are traveling together, Iris gives a big 'NO' and turns to leave, leaving Ash and Cilan puzzled.
Meanwhile, at an old abandoned area, three cloaked figures are standing in the middle of open ground, investigating the demolished Dreamyard. The Team Rocket trio, Jessie, James and Meowth, begin their mission by assembling a machine to collect data to be sent back to their headquarters. As the machine rumbles and kicks into life, the surrounding area glows bright pink; the disturbance caused by the machine forces a dormant Pokémon awake, and a Munna from elsewhere senses it, causing its eyes to glow and itself to shiver in fear.
Ash arrives at the Striaton City Pokémon Center. As he hands his Pokémon over the counter, he addresses the Nurse Joy as the one whom he met at Accumula Town. However, she corrects him, telling him that she is the older sister of the Joy at Accumula Town, and shows him her family photo: three rows of identical Joys crowded together within the small frame. As Nurse Joy questions if he came from a Gym battle, Cilan affirmatively answers from behind, and requests to talk to Ash.
Seated in a corner of the waiting area, where an old man is feeding his Sandile, and a small girl is brushing her Patrat, Cilan begins his conversation with Ash. He subsequently questions Ash fervently, with regard to their previous battle, before a confused-looking Ash is called on to receive his Pokémon. An Audino appears with Ash's Pokémon, and Ash soon learns from Cilan that Nurse Joy has a Audino helping her within the Pokémon Center. Ash checks his Pokédex.
Suddenly, Iris rushes into the Pokémon Center, her Axew glowing pink as she carries it to Nurse Joy. She exclaims that the city is emitting pink light, and as Axew was exposed to the light, it too started glowing pink and fell asleep. At that moment, a woman in a lab coat, together with her Munna, runs into the Pokémon Center. As she sees Axew, she quickly asks Munna to wake Axew up, and the Dream Eater Pokémon complies: it starts consuming the pink cloud surrounding Axew.
As soon as Munna is done, the floral patterns on its body glow for a while, before it expels a dense cloud that was Axew's dream. Axew finally wakes up, and as it watches its own dream, seeing itself running, before evolving into a Fraxure, and then into a Haxorus. The lady then introduces herself as Professor Fennel.
Leading Ash, Iris and Cilan outside, they find the city covered in pink, and Prof. Fennel explains that it is actually Dream Mist produced by Munna's evolved form, Musharna. Ash then checks his Pokédex for Musharna.
A police car stops in front of the group, and Officer Jenny alights from the car, telling Ash to return Pikachu into its Poké Ball so that it would not come into contact with the Dream Mist. Ash reveals, to Iris's and Cilan's surprise, that Pikachu does not like to go back into its Poké Ball. Prof. Fennel then has an idea: she places Ash's hat over Pikachu. She then reassures Cilan that Munna will be all right from the smoke's exposure, and suggests going to the Dreamyard.
As the group travels in Officer Jenny's car, they discuss the Dreamyard. Before the explosion that had occurred, the Dreamyard was originally a research facility for Pokémon Energy, and it was investigating the possibility of harnessing clean energy through Musharna. However, such research became popular and many people ambitiously wanted rights to the project. As Musharna had to eat dreams in order to develop the energy, it absorbed the negativity of such thoughts and intentions, and thus, facing a great deal of pressure, it was unable to take the stress and caused an explosion. Musharna then disappeared, and the research ceased.
Prof. Fennel then talks about how she came to Striaton City when Munna detected Musharna's presence. As they drive further down to the outskirts of the city, they soon notice a strong pink light emitting from behind the trees in front of them.
The Team Rocket trio are extremely pleased with the amount of data they are receiving. While they delight in the success of their mission, a police car suddenly draws to a stop behind them, and the group emerges. Immediately, Prof. Fennel realize what is going on: the machine Team Rocket is using is causing residual energy to react strongly. As Officer Jenny questions who the three of them are, the trio break into their motto, and reveal their identities.
As the Team Rocket trio announce that they are using the residual energy at the Dreamyard to fuel Team Rocket's ambition of taking over Unova, Professor Fennel becomes disappointed at the thought of being involved in such a research project. Cilan then reminds her of the reason she came to the Dreamyard-- the connection between Munna and Musharna, and Munna agrees. Seemingly in response to their answer, the ground trembles, and lightning bolts rise to the sky to form a pink veil; Musharna calls out in response.
While the Team Rocket trio are thinking about capturing Musharna, the source of the residual energy, the group calls out to it. For a moment, there is no response, but a gap soon opens in the veil, and a sphere, glowing with pink light, materializes in front of them. As Musharna appears, Prof. Fennel rushes up to meet with it, but is stopped short by beams of blue light that were fired by Team Rocket's machine.
Grabbing Munna into her arms, Prof. Fennel watches with Ash as the machine traps Musharna with green light. Realizing it is quite safe for Pikachu to do without the hat, Ash takes it back and tells Pikachu to use Volt Tackle. As the Mouse Pokémon charges itself with electricity, more blue beams shoot forth from the machine and attempt to stop it from advancing. Prof. Fennel then tells Munna to use Psychic. As the machine crumbles against itself, Pikachu rams it head-on with Volt Tackle, causing the machine to explode, freeing Musharna. Immediately, the pink veil disappears.
Jessie then sends out her Woobat. With a Gust attack aimed at the ground, it causes a wall of dirt and dust to form, obscuring the group's vision. A while later, the dust settles, and the Team Rocket trio are now nowhere to be seen.
Prof. Fennel is now reunited with her Musharna and embraces it with her arms, trying to make up for what Musharna has gone through. While she thanks Ash and the group, Cilan goes into his Pokémon Connoisseur state and dreamily talks about Prof. Fennel and her Musharna's 'harmony'.
Meanwhile, Giovanni announces that the Team Rocket trio has completed their mission: the data gathered from the Dreamyard have been successfully transmitted and sent for analysis. He then tells them to wait for their next mission.
At the Striaton City Gym, Cilan announces that he has decided to travel with Ash, and bids his brothers farewell. While Ash and Cilan have decided on their next destination, Iris shows up and decides to travel with them, and the three of them now make their way to the Gym in Nacrene City.

Trick or Treat
More interesting is the arrival of a new auditor general's report. Even from Paris, the timing looks a little coincidental:
Back in the mid-'00s, we used to enjoy a chuckle whenever the Paul Martin crew would come up with some extraordinarily contrived sideshow in an attempt to bury an embarrassing headline.
But even that PMO would never have thought it could get away with announcing tax cuts on 24 hours' notice, simply to bury an auditor general's report.
UPDATE: As pointed out by an astute reader, the federal government must give 60 days notice to the provinces that harmonize their taxes before changing the GST. As a result, if they wanted to make the change for January 1st, it had to be announced yesterday so it was likely not connected to the AG's report. It's still interesting to see them rush the GST cut to January 1st, but it doesn't look like there's anything involved in the day-to-day timing of it.
UPDATE2: I elaborate a bit more on my thoughts on this Macleans post.

Mr. Speaker, today, I stand to honour a very special group of young Canadians from Burlington, Ontario.
The 180-person strong Burlington Teen Tour Band is known as "Canada's musical ambassadors" and is one of Canada's most decorated, awarded bands internationally. They have performed at the Rose Bowl, for the president of France, at the 50th anniversary liberation ceremony in Holland and on the beach for D-Day anniversaries with our veterans in Normandy.
This fall, the Burlington Teen Tour Band will represent Canada at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the attack. It will be the only non-American, non-military band to participate in this significant anniversary event.
I, the citizens of Burlington and all Canadians are proud of these young people.
On behalf of all members of Parliament, we want to wish the Burlington Teen Tour Band a very safe trip and thank them for being great ambassadors for Canada.

Although Maclaurin died nearly forty years before the founding of the Royal Society of Edinburgh he played a very important part. The Society for the Improvement of Medical Knowledge was founded in Edinburgh in 1731 and Maclaurin became one of its members. Not happy with such restricted topics, he worked to expand the Medical Society of Edinburgh into a wider society to include other branches of learning. Perhaps he already had in mind a society broadly similar to the Royal Society of London of which he had been a Fellow since 1719.
In 1737 the broader Society was formed with the full title "Edinburgh Society for Improving Arts and Sciences and particularly Natural Knowledge". As one might expect this was far too long a title for people to use, and the Society was known as the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh. Maclaurin himself acted as one of the two secretaries of this expanded Society and at the monthly meetings he often read a paper of his own or a letter from a foreign scientist on the latest developments in some topic of current interest.
The Philosophical Society of Edinburgh was not the only Edinburgh Society of which Maclaurin was a member. He also belonged to the Rankenian Club which met in Ranken's Inn in Edinburgh. This Club was founded in 1716 nearly ten years before Maclaurin was appointed to the University of Edinburgh, and it was a Club which suited Maclaurin with its mixture of congenial fellowship and the aim of its members in pursuing knowledge. It is generally accepted that the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh was the major player in the move towards the establishment of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, but undoubtedly the Rankenian Club played its part.
Shapin describes the events which led to the founding of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in [2], see also his paper [4]. The year 1782 was crucial in its foundation. That was in the year in which the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, at this time quite a new Society, decided to seek a Royal Charter. The Society had fairly broad aims which it stated as:-
... the cultivation of both antiquities and many aspects of general knowledge.Both the University of Edinburgh and the Faculty of Advocates worried about this proposal by the Society of Antiquaries, for they saw an expanded Society with a Royal Charter as a competitor to them in certain of their functions. In a move to counter this proposal the Professor of History at the University of Edinburgh, John Walker, proposed that the University of Edinburgh, the Faculty of Advocates, the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh, and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland should seek a Royal Charter to establish the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The proposal drawn up by Walker was entitled:-
Proposal for establishing at Edinburgh, a Society for the advancement of Learning and Useful Knowledge.The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland of course realised that this was an attempt to head off their proposal and they strongly objected to Walker's document. There were meetings which were designed to smooth the way forward and overcome the objections which were now put up by the Society of Antiquaries. Unable to agree, a meeting between the Rev Robertson, Principal of the University of Edinburgh, and Buchan, the leader of the Society of Antiquaries, was suggested. This meeting between the two men took place but broke up in total disarray with considerable anger on behalf of Buchan.
This left two separate parties who now both aimed to set up a Royal Society in Edinburgh. The Philosophical Society of Edinburgh proposed to the University of Edinburgh that they go it alone in setting up the Society. The Faculty of Advocates and a Member of Parliament for Edinburgh made preliminary enquiries in London and advised the University of Edinburgh to proceed. The authors of [1] write:-
The Senatus [of the University of Edinburgh] met on 30 November 1782, a petition was submitted to the King, and on 29 March 1783 the King's signature was obtained. On 6 May 1783, the Royal Charter and that of the Society of Antiquaries were extended under the Great Seal in Edinburgh.The first meeting of the new Royal Society of Edinburgh took place in the Old Library of Edinburgh University on Monday 23 June 1783. It was decided that all members of the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh should automatically become Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. All accepted except, as one might have anticipated, Buchan. Others including professors from the other Scottish universities, were invited to the Fellowship. From its beginnings the Society set itself up as a Scottish wide Society, based in Edinburgh.
The beginning of the Royal Society of Edinburgh was described in the first volume of the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh published in 1788. It is factually correct but omits any of the drama involved in the setting up of the Society which we have described above:-
About the end of the year 1782 in a meeting of the Professors of the University of Edinburgh, many of whom were likewise members of the Philosophical Society and warmly attached to its interests, a scheme was proposed by the Rev. Dr Robertson, Principal of the University, for the establishment of a Society on a more extended plan, and after the model of some foreign academies, which have for their object the cultivation of every branch of science, erudition, and taste.It is worth noting that Alexander Wilson was one of the founding members of the Society, as were James Hutton, Dugald Stewart (son of Matthew Stewart), John Maclaurin (son of Colin Maclaurin) and John Playfair who:-
... for the first two decades of the Society was the life and soul of the institution.The Royal Society of Edinburgh met in the library of Edinburgh University in its early years. In 1810 the Society purchased 42 George Street, and it occupied this building until 1826 when the Royal Institution Building on Princes Street was completed. For about 80 years it occupied part of the Royal Institution Building. The story of how the Society was ejected from the Royal Institution and their subsequent fight for a new home is recounted in our article The Royal Society of Edinburgh and the purchase of 22-24 George Street.
From its beginnings the Royal Society of Edinburgh was not exclusively a scientific society. It was originally set up with a Literary Class and a Physical Class and fellows were elected to one of these two classes. Until 1828 there were two Presidents and two Secretaries, one for each Class, but from this time on only one President and one Secretary were appointed. Then four years later the Classes themselves were joined. By this time the Society was almost exclusively a scientific Society and it remained so until more modern times when it again recovered the balance between scientific and literary Fellows.
We note that some scientists whose biographies are given in this archive held high office in the Society. William Thomson, later Baron Kelvin of Largs, was President from 1873 to 1878 and again from 1886 to 1890. From 1890 to 1895 Thomson was President of the Royal Society of London, then, this time as Lord Kelvin, he was President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for a third time from 1895 until his death in 1907. Two others from our archive held the office of President: D'Arcy Thompson from 1934 to 1939, followed by Edmund Whittaker from 1939 to 1945.
Three mathematicians from our archive served the Royal Society of Edinburgh as General Secretaries: Playfair from 1798 to 1819, Tait from 1879 to 1901, and Chrystal from 1901 to 1912. It was during Chrystal's time as General Secretary that the Society was forced out of its rooms in the Royal Institution and the story of this is told in the separate article The Royal Society of Edinburgh and the purchase of 22-24 George Street. Aitken was Vice-President for six years, namely from 1948 to 1951 and then again from 1956 to 1959.
Other points worth noting which relate to mathematicians in this archive are that Tait was twice a winner of the Keith Prize (a feat few have equalled) and, some years, later Herbert Turnbull won both the Keith Medal and Gunning Victoria Jubilee Prize. Joseph Wedderburn was elected a Fellow in 1903 when he was 21 years of age making him one of the youngest Fellows ever elected. It is worth noting that Joseph Wedderburn's brother, Sir Ernest Wedderburn, served the Society as Treasurer for ten years from 1937 to 1947. He was a lawyer, but interested in science and continued Chrystal's work on seiches on the Scottish lochs.

Ralph Nader the moderator
The man who's come to symbolize third parties over the past decade — Ralph Nader — is going to moderate a debate between this cycle's candidates following in his footsteps.
Nader, a former Green Party candidate who is not running for the White House this time around, will moderate a debate on Nov. 4 between Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson.
The debate will last two hours and take place at D.C.'s Busboys and Poets restaurant.
A release put out by Nader's office emphasizes the onetime consumer activist's involvement in third-party politics:
"Having experienced the challenges, obstacles and exclusions from ballots and debates as a third-party and independent presidential candidate, Mr. Nader is aware of how the conventional taboos and censorship produced by a two-party duopoly diminishes the political environment," the statement said.
"This debate will highlight little-discussed major topics, redirections and citizen empowerments which reflect widespread popular interest, either by way of support or opposition. Political debates should not be rationed. They should become more numerous, innovative and extend beyond the narrow routine of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), created in 1987. The CPD is still captured by the Republican and Democratic Parties, memorialized through a written, exclusive agreement every four years between the two candidates."

Snapshots from Italy: Chasing Pizza Bianca in Rome
Many foods have their particular fans; some induce outright passion. But few incite love and praise like the Roman pizza bianca. Ed's devotion to Jim Lahey's version is well-documented, and Jeffrey Steingarten has written about the bread with rapture usually reserved for poetry and rigor more typical of a PhD thesis than a bakery review. (There must be something magical in those ovens.)
The pizza bianca bears little resemblance to any New York, Chicago, or Neapolitan pie. A simple dough of flour, water, and yeast is swiped with olive oil and sprinkled with salt—no cheese, tomato, or pepperoni in sight—before it's baked in slabs that can stretch to four or six feet. The finished product is cut into slices (often at blinding speed) and then sold by weight.
While it's often eaten filled as a sandwich, stuffed with vegetables or cured meats, well-made pizza bianca needs little adornment: warm and crispy from the oven, with olive oil soaking through, it's like the perfect overgrown pizza crust. So when in Rome, follow the Romans to one of these three bakeries. Elbow your way to the counter, tell whoever's waiting just how much you'd like, and watch as the knife whips through and your slice is expertly wrapped. Best eaten immediately in the piazza outside.
Forno Campo de' Fiori
Right on the market square of the Campo de' Fiori, this little bakery is hard to miss—if the enormous FORNO sign doesn't announce its presence clearly enough, the yeasty fumes wafting across the piazza will. And although Forno Campo de' Fiori is among the more well-known and well-trafficked bakeries in Rome, its reputation is well-deserved. The pizza bianca is superb. Flatbreads can easily grow hard or dry, but this pizza's interior was soft and elastic, its edges thin and crispy, rather than tough. Fruity olive oil and a judicious sprinkle of salt lent all the flavor it needed. This is a bread that I wouldn't want to see complicated by any sandwich filling. I'd rather savor it alone.
Note: Like many Roman shops, Forno Campo de' Fiori is closed during the mid-afternoon (2:30-4:45) and all day on Sunday. Plan accordingly.
Forno Campo de' Fiori
Campo de' Fiori 22, Rome (map)
Forno Marco Roscioli
Across the Campo de' Fiori and around a few corners is Forno Marco Roscioli, a lively bakery with a slightly newer look and a truly impressive cookie display.
Gina DePalma has paid appropriate tribute to the bakery's pizza rosso. But if you're here for the pizza bianca, you won't be disappointed, either.
Puffy and chewy, oily and salty, this slice displays every virtue of a well-made pizza bianca. But its crusty bubbles were a tad limp, rather than perfectly crispy, and the olive oil lacked the flavor and spice of Antico Forno's. More than worth a visit—and more than worth the euro a hefty slice might set you back—but not quite as transcendent as Forno Campo de' Fiori.

Via dei Chiavari 34, Rome, Italy (map)
La Renella
On the other side of the Tiber is the district of Trastevere, a neighborhood of narrow winding streets that feels a world away from the frenetic chaos of Rome proper. And on Via del Moro is the last of our bakeries—La Renella, whose counter, mobbed by Trasteverans waving their paper numbers and yelling out lunch orders, yanks you right back out of that peaceful idyll.
If you're looking for pizza bianca across the river, La Renella is a decent bet, with enormous slabs pulled from the ovens every twenty minutes or so. Fresh, hot, and liberally salted, Renella's pizza is a fine specimen. But just a bit tougher than the others and with sadly scant olive oil, it's the least impressive of the three by a hair.
The good news: Renella's pizza bianca, though a slightly less perfect snack on its own, becomes a wonderful sandwich base—and their menu is extensive. Opt for any of the pizza bianca ripena, stuffed with mozzarella or eggplant or fresh tomato; alternatively, try one of the flat pizza squares, like this one with zucchini, ricotta, and shaved prosciutto. It's a perfect lunch on the go, as the hoards packing in every afternoon can attest.

Yankee Stadium, then and now
It's an awesome place, no doubt about it. New Yankee Stadium has all the modern, state-of-the-art conveniences, and it still has that feel of the old stadium, where you always knew you were walking into history every time you played there. The field looks the same and plays basically the same, and that's great. Why mess with a good thing?
It's a funny thing about the old ballpark. I didn't do very well there during the regular season, but I had some moments in October in the postseason. Even those came with a bad ending, though. The Yankees beat my Twins in the 2003 and 2004 playoffs, and that always stings. Still stings, to this day.
Lyle Spencer of MLB.com did some research and reminded me that I had some big games in the old park when it really counted. He told me I should remember that I came up big on the big stage, the biggest one, and I appreciated that.
In 2003, we won the first game of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium, 3-1. I had a triple, an RBI and two walks that day. In Game 2, Andy Pettitte beat us, 4-1. Our only run was a home run I hit, and I had another hit that day.
They beat us in four games in that series, and I ended up hitting .429. In my first playoff series, in 2002 against the A's, I'd batted .300 with four doubles and two RBIs in five games.
I'm not that big on numbers, but it's nice to have those next to my name, I have to admit. October baseball is what it's all about. It always takes me back to my high school football days in Arkansas, the adrenaline and excitement and energy you feel.
In 2004, back at Yankee Stadium, we won Game 1 again, 2-0, behind Johan Santana, and I went 1-for-4. The next game was a heartbreaker. We lost, 7-6, in 12 innings. I went 3-for-6 with a double and a homer. I had a single against Tom Gordon when we scored two runs in the eighth inning to tie the game.
The homer came against Tanyon Sturtze with two outs in the 12th inning and gave us the lead. But the Yankees came back with two in the bottom half to win it.
That was my last postseason game in the old park. I ended up going 7-for-16 in the Bronx in those four games for a .438 average, with two homers, a triple and a double.
We ended up losing that series too, in four games, and I batted .353. It's strange. Even though I put up some good numbers in those two series, I was left feeling nothing but disappointment and frustration.
It's not hard to figure out why. This is a team game, and it's all about winning. You win as a team, lose as a team.
So there we were last October, playing Boston in the ALDS, full of high hopes in my first season with the Angels. I thought we were ready. I was confident we had the best team — and it was the same deal. Heartbreak.
The numbers say I had a good series, hitting .389 with five RBIs in four games, but we lost, and it hurt way down deep. Same ol' same ol', and that's something we have to change this season.
I've played in 20 ALDS games with a .350 average and a .563 slugging percentage. But the only time we made it to the AL Championship Series, in 2002, the Angels knocked us off on their way to the World Series title.
It's time for the Angels to do it again. And I want to be right in the middle of it when it happens.

I grew up in New York and visited the old Yankees stadium with my Dad. He past last year so the memories of the stadium and my Dad are AWESOME. I moved out to Orange County and my brother was a SERIOUS Angel fan. And, thus I became a SERIOUS Angel Fan. I was there when the fans were few and far between. And, I am still here to be a strong fan. I know that the loss of last season must have been so very hard for the team. But, all you can do is put yourself forward to this new season and TRY you very best to go all the way. I do strongly believe that this team has the talent to go ALL THE WAY. I am so very impressed with your playing Torii. I can see you before the games see the way you support your team and the energy that comes from you is AWESOME. Keep playing hard. I will keep you and the team in my prayers for a healthy and successful season.
Good luck at the game vs NY and thanks for sharing the memories of the Old Stadium!! I wish you and the Angels luck this season, from a Red Sox fan, that is a lot, since you beat us a few weeks back. Nice series, by the way.
TORII: It's time for the Angels to do it again. And I want to be right in the middle of it when it happens.
When it happens all your fans will stand behind you guys and cheer you on, i'm still waiting for the biggest ANGELS rally ever. You guys can still do it, i believe in you guys to make the greatest comeback ever. come on ANGELS lets win the 2009 world series!!!
Hey Torii, as a long time Angel fan now living on the east coast outside Philadelphia, I drove my son (age 10) to NY see you guys play last Saturday. Having spent 10 years in Jersey, my son grew up a Yankee fan and last summer I took him to a couple games. Now with the new stadium, and my favorite team in town, I took him to the Angel game at Yankee stadium! We both had a blast, each in our team's jersey's, rooting for our team. I grew up an Angel fan with my dad taking my brother and I to several games in the 70's when it was Brian Downing, Carney Lansford, Bobby Grich, etc. I've always been a fan and have recently started following you guys again. My mother's day gift the last two years has been the MLB package with Direct TV so I can follow you throughout the season! Hope to make it to a couple games out in CA later this summer. I enjoy watching you play and respect the camaraderie you've developed with the team having been with them only for a short while. I look forward to you guys going all the way this year! Fan Strong from PA!
My wife and I are from Bakersfield (about two hours north of Anaheim) and are both big Angels fans. On occasion, we are able to drive down to the great Angels Stadium to enjoy a game. It is true that there is no other stadium in the world like the old Yankees Stadium, or the new one for that matter, but in my opinion, there is also no other stadium in the world like Angels Stadium, and every time the team takes the field, history is definitely being made. Though I have never been to New York and witnessed a game there, I can't imagine the feelings being any better than being present when the big halo is lit up after another Angels victory.
I was able to attend the first game of the Detroit series a week and a half ago at good ol' Angels Stadium, and was able to take my younger sister who had, before that night, never been to a professional baseball game. As the team took the field, I was excited to point out to her who each of you are. "There in left field is Bobby Abreu (he was playing left that night)…there at 3rd base is Chone Figgins…but there in center field is one of the best baseball players in the league, my favorite player, Torii Hunter!" You definitely did not disappoint. You lead the team to victory with your home run out to the rocks, and made it a memorable experience for not only my sister, but for me as well. Thanks for your example as the team leader, on and off the field, and thanks for making America's favorite pass time more enjoyable!
I moved to Mass this year and I have to watch the Red Sox and all their great young pitchers. Our hitters are fine especially you.. We need to trade Brandon Wood who is going to be a career AAA player for a Masterson to be our closer. What do you think about a Wood for one of Boston young arms?
Torii, just wanted to say that I really enjoy your blog (as well as your play in the field). Im an Angels season ticket holder, section 248 right behind center field so I get to see you make some amazing plays every home game. Keep playing great Torii.
Hope to see ya at the NEW yankee stadium this post-season!
I have seen many games around the country…whenever I travel for business, I try to always take in a game…I would like to catch every major league team in their home turf…but somehow, I missed the Yankees at the old Yankee Stadium. That sucks. It would have been cool to see them at both the old stadium and their new digs as well.

Altho a pitchers first pitch is a strike hardly any batter makes a move to swing why?

I used to work at a grocery store. When bidding farewell to customers, my coworkers would often use phrases such as "Have a nice day," "Enjoy your day," and the like.
One particular phrase that seemed to be common was "Have a good one" (where "a good one" implies "a good day").
Since working there, I've heard people saying this in a variety of locations, from retail stores to restaurants to customer service helpdesks. I've never noticed any sort of correlation between age and the usage of the phrase; however, I was wondering about its history. Is this something that came about relatively recently?
(I've tagged this american-english as I live in the US and that's where I've heard the phrase.)

The Xbox One is not just black. It is "liquid black". There's an element of marketing fluff behind this, of course, and the console's design team are not short on marketing fluff, but behind all that, there's some interesting reasons for the decision.
No, really.
Here's an excerpt from a design piece on Microsoft's new "Xbox Wire" site that explains why not just the console, but the controller as well, are so dark.
The console and Kinect sensor are liquid black so they melt into the background when being used, allowing the content on your TV to dominate the living room. The user interface is overlaid on the same shade of deep black so that the content tiles on the dashboard are more vivid and easier to navigate and interact with.
Even the wireless controller uses liquid black to enhance visibility. The traditional A, B, X and Y buttons were re-designed so that the colored letters now float on a sea of rich, liquid black, a "triple-shot of injected resin," clearly defining their placement on the controller.
Like I said, there's fluff in there, but also some genuine practicality. If you're not put off by design talk like that, there's more at the full report, which strikes a nice balance between interesting approach and complete bullshit.

It's almost May and lawmakers already are eyeing the end of their spring legislative session. For some legislative committees, though, the work has not even gotten started. Two House committees and one Senate committee were formed at the beginning of the year but have yet to meet.
It's almost May and lawmakers already are eyeing the end of their spring legislative session. For some legislative committees, though, the work has not even gotten started.
Two House committees and one Senate committee were formed at the beginning of the year but have yet to meet. The House committees don't even have members, while the Senate committee might not have anything to work on for a couple of years.
In the House, some lawmakers blame the delay on the long-running feud between House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, and former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Rep. Jay Hoffman, a Democrat from Collinsville and a staunch Blagojevich ally, has served as chairman of the Transportation & Motor Vehicles Committee since 1997. But he has yet to be renamed by the speaker as the committee's chairmen this year.
Without a chair or members, the committee is unable hold meetings or vote on legislation.
"It would obviously be a more effective way of proceeding to have a transportation committee meeting and active," Hoffman said.
In previous years, the committee handled legislation relating to transportation issues such as road conditions, speed limits, and traffic safety. But with the committee currently stuck in limbo, legislation relating to these topics is being sent to other committees.
Republican Rep. Bill Black of Danville, also a member of previous transportation committees, said the state needs an active transportation committee, especially now that legislators are pursuing a multi-million dollar capital construction program.
"Jay Hoffman, regardless of his relationship to the former governor, knows a lot about transportation issues so I'm not sure we're using him to our greatest advantage," he said.
Black said it is no secret that Madigan is punishing Hoffman for siding with Blagojevich.
"That's one way Speaker Madigan sends a message," Black said.
Madigan is also holding up the nomination of Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, as chairmen of the House Tourism and Conventions Committee. News reports indicated Dunkin, who often sided with the ex-governor, chose to vacation in the Caribbean when the House originally voted in January to impeach Blagojevich.
"Why has he not promoted Ken Dunkin, who is such the tourism authority in this chamber, who has promoted tourism throughout the centuries and the decades in the history of the state of Illinois? Why? Why, Mr. Speaker?" asked Dunkin.
Though it rarely dealt with legislation, the tourism committee did serve as a forum for members of the state's tourism industry to discuss their issues.
Rep. Suzanne Bassi, a Republican from Palatine, said the committee's inability to function this year has hurt Illinois tourism. She faulted Madigan for putting a personal conflict above the state's interests.
"I think this is a question of testosterone that should be lessened one way or another," Bassi said.
Madigan spokesman Michael Weir said the committee appointments are "under review" but would not say when or if they would be announced this year. He would not comment on whether Hoffman and Dunkin's relationship with Blagojevich was to blame for the delay.
Weir said the state is not harmed by having the two committees remain inactive.
In the other chamber, Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, has created the Senate Redistricting Committee in preparation for the 2011 redrawing of state's legislative districts. But its agenda is bare.
"We are not planning on taking up legislation this session, but we will probably conduct a subject matter hearing," Cullerton spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said.
Illinois' redistricting process, in which the party that gets to draw the district maps is often picked by pulling a name out of a hat, has been criticized as being too political. One reform idea is to implement the system used by Iowa, where computers draw legislative maps instead of politicians.
Democratic Sen. Kwame Raoul of Chicago, who chairs the Redistricting Committee, opposes an Iowa-style redistricting system because he believes it would not allow for a proper representation of minorities in the legislature. He agrees there's not much for the committee to do this year.
"I don't think we have to be in a rush to make a determination as to how we approach this issue," said Raoul.

Blame it on Marc Jacobs. The moment model Ruby Jean Wilson stepped onto his runway in New York wearing black micro-shorts and a white T-shirt adorned with black bars, followed by a posse of mod ladies outfitted in every possible variation of swirling, two-tone striped ensembles, everyone knew that op art and Minimalism would be a dominant theme for spring. It was as if a group of prisoners had plotted a daring escape from Sing Sing—provided that Victor Vasarely had been hard at work on their chic uniforms. "Every season is a reaction to what we have done before, but it's also a consideration of what we want to explore," said Jacobs. "The idea of visual impact felt really strong, but we wanted to do it in a nonemotional, nonromantic way."
Three weeks later, Jacobs capped off the optic trend in Paris with his masterly parade of checkerboard column dresses, bags, and pointy slingbacks at Louis Vuitton. He partnered with the conceptual artist Daniel Buren, whose arresting, site-specific installations in historical spaces challenge tradition by confounding the viewer through articulations of light, space, and pattern. Buren created a set featuring four giant descending and ascending escalators that seamlessly delivered matching pairs of models onto a glossy yellow and white checkerboard runway. The mise-en-scène made for a memorable fashion moment that celebrated architectural space; it also lent suitable aplomb to Louis Vuitton's new handbags embellished with outsize Damier checks brimming with tiny rows of sequins.
But Jacobs was by no means the only designer obsessed with graphic content. Just as the op artists of the 1960s embraced the bold power of modernism with their mind-boggling canvases (showcased in the seminal 1965 New York exhibition "The Responsive Eye") and made figurative art seem old-fashioned and allegorical, many designers turned away from the nostalgia and poetic embellishment of the recent past with one dynamic stroke.
Michael Kors's usually sedate pencil skirts and cashmere tops were packed with stripes; Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa played with mesh and contrast-color linings to create dazzling 3-D effects; L'Wren Scott's sheath dresses juxtaposed vertical stripes with explosive zigzags; Sportmax's chevron-striped dresses and Moschino's black and white piped suits made one's eyes widen, dance up and down, and, finally, shift into a trance-like state; Jil Sander's curved zippered two-tone go-go boots looked like they could halt traffic—especially on a zebra crossing.
Of course, this is not the first time optical effects have jumped from gallery walls to the runways and beyond—think of Pierre Cardin's modular space-age collection of 1970, Mary Quant's miniskirted tailoring, and how photographer William Klein brilliantly lampooned everything "modern" in Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? That era's obsession with pattern grew out of a desire to break free from the societal conventions and conservative dress codes of the past: The clothes disoriented, shocked, stimulated, and created great big exclamation marks. In 2013, bold geometric statements still have the power to capture the gaze—but, paradoxically, their current incarnation could be a sign that we are collectively craving some sense of order in our fractured, overly digitized lives.
"We are living in a very dizzy world, where everything is an assault on the senses," said Michael Kors. "For me, the question was how to cut out the noise without going to a monastery." Kors had been finding solace in California—in the clean, sharp architecture of Lautner and Neutra, in the contrast of concrete and glass under the vibrant sun, and in the work of the designer Rudi Gernreich. "Rudi always had a neatness and sharpness that showed off the body; his designs elongated and framed women. It's about eliminating the negative, playing with lines—like architecture for the body."
Flattering the feminine shape is one big democratic appeal of the optic trend, and so is its sense of youthful dynamism. "The past seasons have been so demure, buttoned-up, and ladylike, I had to remind myself I'm 34, not 64!" said London-based designer Jonathan Saunders, who showed dresses with swooshing lines, as well as sheaths with laser-cut satin "teardrops" bonded to the surface. "When I was a student in Scotland, I was really drawn to Victor Vasarely and his balance of colors and graphics. Op artists were criticized at the time for being all about 'surface,' but their work was also about color, line, and the feelings they elicit—it makes you appreciate rigor and sophistication." Both Saunders and Jacobs also cited as an influence choreographer Michael Clark, who is known for his color-block costumes and sets that heighten and dramatize movement. Jacobs was so seduced by the way patterns and stripes flow on the body that he used a dancer for his fittings in New York. "I found the geometry of this collection very soothing," he said. "It required an enormous amount of mathematical precision."
Indeed, what is so alluring about the current op moment is that designers have pushed their research as much as their aesthetics in order to cleverly contrast textures, lines, and curves. The final effect might be refreshingly minimalist, but behind the visual impact is a combination of painstakingly handcrafted techniques, high-tech fabrics, and ultra-precise tailoring. Fashion is coming clean not just by referencing artists famous for cutting through visual clutter but also by stripping down clothes to the essential. And in the process, they are knocking us in the eyeballs.

The Mazda MX-5 is a car that, in some circles — including this one — has reached sainted status. it's the mother-car, the "answer to every Question of the Day," as some say, the only pure sports car for the middle class built in the past two decades. Or so you might believe.
And yet, Chris Harris is not on board. He's called the MX-5 "pants," which in the UK is like saying one's mother frequents truck-stop bathrooms in a halter top.
It seems I am alone in being completely ambivalent as to the existence of the Mazda MX-5. Apparently the 900,000th example has just rolled out of Hiroshima, which means there will be yet more public outpourings of emotion for a machine which drives with all the precision of a boneless limb.
Truth be told, I think MX-5s are, well, sh*t .
And so, in the latest episode of Chris Harris on Cars, he revisits the Maz, swapping his Ferrari 599 with cameraman and editor Neil Carey's own MX-5. Will he recant, or will he double-down on the critique? Let's watch and see.

Jonathan Papelbon shit the bed again tonight, earning another loss and blowing his second game in as many days. A while back, we presented some Phillies fans watching the game slip away in extreme slow motion . You seemed to like it, so we did it again tonight.
This is a Deadspin Video, in which strange sports moments are slowed down to ridiculous speeds and matched with indie music. This video features "Do You Want To Hit It" by The Donnas. See previous episodes here.
