1. A Word A Day
extrinsic (ik-STRIN-sik, -zik) adjective
1. Not forming an essential or inherent part of a thing; extraneous.
2. Originating from the outside; external.
[Latin extrinsecus, from outside : exter, outside + -im, adv. suff. + secus,
alongside.]
"Martial arts movies to the contrary, hands and feet are not deadly
weapons that automatically increase the punishment for assault, the state
Supreme Court ruled Monday. The crime of assault with a deadly weapon
requires use of `an object extrinsic to the body,' the court said in a
unanimous decision."
Some Assaults Eliminated as `Strikes', Los Angeles Times, 18 Nov 1997.

2. Quote of the Day -- Maureen Dowd
Excerpt from Sunday Column by Dowd about the "love-dress":
Just as movie and television comedy is permeated
with the ill-mannered, self-indulgent mentality of
adolescent boys, Mr. Clinton has reversed the usual
pattern of the Presidency, switching from a paternal
model to an adolescent model. He expects us to clean
up, ignore or forgive his messes.
It is easy to feel sorry for the likable and boyish
President. Leaders should have some zone of privacy.
And Mr. Clinton's tormenters are all so creepy,
opportunistic and partisan.
Despite what the public thinks, most journalists
I know are not panting after this story. Like the
public, most of us find it disgusting and wish it
would go away. No matter how many heartfelt
speeches Linda Tripp gives about being at one with
them, Americans are never going to forgive her
illicitly taping a friend. And they are never going
to approve of the salacious, relentless route Mr.
Starr has taken in his pursuit of Mr. Clinton's scalp.
But the jam Mr. Clinton finds himself in is a direct
result of his lack of discipline, his refusal to take
responsibility and his willingness to lie, cover up,
use loyal aides or smear talkative ex-girlfriends
when all other means of escape seem blocked.
You might call it a vast gross-out conspiracy.

3. This Day In History . . . 03agu98
On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus set out on his first
voyage to what would come to be known as the New World.
With three ships and a crew of 90, Columbus hoped to find a
western route to the Far East. Instead, the Nina, the Pinta, and
the Santa Maria landed in the Bahama Islands.
Christopher Columbus went to sea in era of maritime advances,
charting his route with the aid of mariner's compass, astrolabe,
cross-staff, and quadrant. The most popular map for mariners of his
time was Ptolemy's Geography or Cosmography,
( http://lcweb.loc.gov/exhibits/1492/world.gif )printed in 1482
but compiled by the Alexandrian geographer, astronomer, and
mathematician Claudius Ptolemy in the second century A.D.
Early on the morning of October 12, 1492, a crew
member spotted land. At daylight, Columbus went
ashore the Bahamian island of Guanahanν and planted
the flag of his sponsors, King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella.

cultures it brought together by visiting these

1. A Word A Day
comestible (kuh-MES-ti-buhl) adjective
Fit to be eaten; edible.
comestible noun
Something that can be eaten as food.
[French, from Old French, from Late Latin comestibilis, from Latin comestus,
alteration (influenced by potus, drunk), of comesus, past participle of
comedere, to eat up : com-, intensive pref. + edere, to eat.]
Steve Hochman, Pop Eye; Pop Music; Am I Blue?;
Los Angeles Times, 11 May 1997.
"The latest customized comestible honoring a rock act is a non-
alcoholic beverage tie-in with the L.A. metal band Motley Crue, which is
set to release a new album, `Generation Swine,' on June 24."

2. Computer Tips
SCREEN GRAB.
There's lots of software available to grab a screen image
from the net so you can edit or print it. You don't need
anything so sophisticated in Win 95. Just press your PrintScreen
key to capture the image on your screen. Then go to
Start|Programs|Accessories|Paint to access
Microsoft Paint. Click on Edit|Paste for the captured
image to appear (it may take a few seconds depending on
the graphics.) Now, you can do with that image as you
would other graphics in Paint,such as saving it, printing
it, setting it as wallpaper, etc. Our Mac friends should press
Command-Shift-3 to save the image as a PICT file.
EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW
Well, maybe not everything, but close to it when
it comes to your computer and operating system.
Go to your hard drive on Windows, look for Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\msinfo and click
on msinfo32. You'll find lots of info. About
your system, fonts, graphics, text, audio, video,
cd rom, and you can even find out every
application you are currently running.
Careful, though. Some of this stuff you shouldn't tinker
with unless you know what you're doing!

A terse, witty, instructive saying; a maxim.
[Greek apophthegma, from apophthengesthai, to speak plainly : apo-,
intensive pref. + phthengesthai, phtheg-, to speak.]
"If Frederick Taylor in effect said, `Let theexperts lead,' today's

2. HotSites -- Chocolate and Bats
Bats Online
You do know, don't you, that bats don't actually get
tangled in your hair? Nor do they attack people or
have an unusually high incidence of rabies. The Bat
Conservation International site dispels such myths
in caverns full of information about bats of all kinds
and the benefits that they provide to humans and the
ecosystem. For example, a common North American brown
bat can eat 600 mosquitoes per hour, far exceeding the
capability of our NSS corporate bug zapper (which looks
suspiciously like Arthur wielding an old 5 1/4" floppy disk).
From the tiny bumblebee bat of Thailand, weighing less than
a penny, to the giant flying foxes of Indonesia, possessed
of six-foot wingspans, over 1000 different species cover
the globe, playing a role in pollination, seed dispersal,
or night-flying insect control. This site contains bat facts,
bat workshops, bat excursions, bat magazines, bat detectors,
bat distribution, bat bridges, bat girls (sorry, wrong site),
bat earrings, bat kites, and even a bat condo that you can
build yourself!

The History of Chocolate
"The Land of Chocolate" is Homer Simpson's idea of heaven.
Willy Wonka's factory can engender a fascination more
enthralling than Oz. With over three billion pounds of the
stuff consumed annually in the United States, it seems that
more than a few of us could be considered "chocaholic".
Thanks to the generosity(!) of Emperor Montezuma (who drank
50 glasses of the stuff each day in warm, liquid form), who
shared with Cortez the wonders of the cacao tree (and you
thought Cortez was after gold!), we partake of the food
of the gods (at only around 210 calories per candy bar).
Discover the food that uses 8% of the world's sugar production.
Trace the preparation of the product from tree to candy aisle,
and examine the evidence that chocolate isn't linked to headaches,
obesity, acne, addictions, heart disease, elevated cholesterol,
diabetes, tooth decay, hyperactivity or other undesirable side
effects. (Some may dispute these findings, but they're probably
fanatics who don't want you to have any kind of fun, right?)

Song
by Seamus Heaney
A rowan like a lipsticked girl.
Between the by-road and the main road
Alder trees at a wet and dripping distance
Stand off among the rushes.
There are the mud-flowers of dialect
And the immortelles of perfect pitch
And that moment when the bird sings very close
To the music of what happens.

schadenfreude (SHAAD-n-froiduh) noun
Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
[German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High
German scado) + Freude, joy, from Middle High German vreude, from Old High
German frewida, from fro, happy.]
"That accounts for the schadenfreude that many felt when Microsoft,

2. HotSite -- Turn-of-the-century Photos
From the Library of Congress:
A searchable site, the query "louisiana" returned
311 photographs made about a century ago, including
the attached of the Southern Yacht Club before 1900.
This collection of photographs from the Detroit Publishing
Company Collection includes over 25,000 glass negatives and
transparencies as well as about 300 color photolithograph
prints, mostly of the eastern United States. The collection includes the
work of a number of photographers, one of whom was the
well known photographer William Henry Jackson.
A small group within the larger collection includes about
900 Mammoth Plate Photographs taken by William Henry Jackson
along several railroad lines in the United States and Mexico
in the 1880s and 1890s. The group also includes views of
California, Wyoming and the Canadian Rockies.

3. QOTD -- Candlelight by Tony Hoagland
Candlelight
Crossing the porch in the hazy dusk
to worship the moon rising
like a yellow filling-station sign
on the black horizon,
you feel the faint grit
of ants beneath your shoes,
but keep on walking
because in this world
you have to decide what
you're willing to kill.
Saving your marriage might mean
dinner for two
by candlelight on steak
raised on pasture
chopped out of rain forest
whose absence might mean
an atmospheric thinness
fifty years from now
above the vulnerable head
of your bald grandson on vacation
as the cells of his scalp
sautιed by solar radiation
break down like suspects
under questioning.
Still you slice
the sirloin into pieces
and feed each other
on silver forks
under the approving gaze
of a waiter
whose purchased attention
and French name
are a kind of candlelight themselves,
while in the background
the fingertips of the pianist
float over the tusks
of the slaughtered elephant
without a care,
as if the elephant
had granted its permission.

micturate (MIK-chuh-rayt, MIK-tuh-) intr.verb
To urinate.
[From Latin micturire, to want to urinate, desiderative of meiere, to
urinate.]
"Grodjinovsky isn't talking about leisurely strolls behind your dog while
it sniffs at every bush and micturates."
Jeff Green, Reading from Right to Left, Jerusalem Post, 10 Oct 1996.
2. Today in History . . .12 August
August 12, 1877, is the date popularly given for when Thomas
Edison finished the model for the first phonograph, a device that
recorded sound onto tinfoil cylinders. It is more likely, however,
that the model was not completed until November or December of
that year, since he waited until Dec.24, 1877, to file a patent.
While working to improve the efficiency of a telegraph
transmitter, Edison noted that the tape of the machine gave
off a noise resembling spoken words when played at a high speed.
This caused him to wonder if he could record a telephone message.
Edison began experimenting with the diaphragm of a telephone
receiver, attaching a needle to it. He reasoned that the needle
could prick paper tape to record a message. His experiments
led him to try a stylus on a tin-foil cylinder, which, to his great
surprise, played back the short message he recorded,
"Mary had a little lamb."

The Gnat and the Bull
A GNAT settled on the horn of a Bull, and sat there a long time.
Just as he was about to fly off, he made a buzzing noise, and
inquired of the Bull if he would like him to go. The Bull
replied, "I did not know you had come, and I shall not miss you
when you go away."
Some men are of more consequence in their own eyes than in the
eyes of their neighbors.

tocsin (TOK-sin) noun
1. An alarm sounded on a bell. A bell used to sound an alarm.
2. A warning; an omen.
[French, alteration of toquassen, from Old French touque-sain, from Old
Provencal tocasenh : tocar, to strike (from Vulgar Latin *toccare) + senh,

George J. Church, Raising the Ante In nearly doubling the number of U.S.

"Almost up to Election Day, Bush had been talking war and peace in such
quick alternation, sometimes in the same speech, that allies and the
American public alike were bewildered. One can only guess at the effect
on Saddam. Bush announced that he had `had it' with Iraq's treatment of
American diplomats in Kuwait, but later added, `I'm not trying to sound
the tocsin of war.'"

"He has an elastic idea of truth," said Arkansas editorialist Paul

some semantic sense but violating ... it in any other sense."

Text of Clinton's Statement
Monday, August 17, 1998; 10:00 p.m. EDT
Text of President Clinton's address to the nation,
as transcribed by the Federal Document Clearing
House:
(4 minutes and 10 seconds)
Good evening.
This afternoon in this room, from this chair, I testified
before the Office of Independent Counsel and the
grand jury.
I answered their questions truthfully, including
questions about my private life, questions no American
citizen would ever want to answer.
Still, I must take complete responsibility for all my actions, both public and
private. And that is why I am speaking to you tonight.
As you know, in a deposition in January, I was asked questions about my
relationship with Monica Lewinsky. While my answers were legally
accurate, I did not volunteer information.
Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not
appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment
and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely
responsible.
But I told the grand jury today and I say to you now that at no time did I ask
anyone to lie, to hide or destroy evidence or to take any other unlawful
action.
I know that my public comments and my silence about this matter gave a
false impression. I misled people, including even my wife. I deeply regret
that.
I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors. First, by a desire to
protect myself from the embarrassment of my own conduct.
I was also very concerned about protecting my family. The fact that these
questions were being asked in a politically inspired lawsuit, which has since
been dismissed, was a consideration, too.
In addition, I had real and serious concerns about an independent counsel
investigation that began with private business dealings 20 years ago
dealings, I might add, about which an independent federal agency found no
evidence of any wrongdoing by me or my wife over two years ago.
The independent counsel investigation moved on to my staff and friends,
then into my private life. And now the investigation itself is under
investigation.
This has gone on too long, cost too much and hurt too many innocent
people.
Now, this matter is between me, the two people I love most my wife and
our daughter and our God. I must put it right, and I am prepared to do
whatever it takes to do so.
Nothing is more important to me personally. But it is private, and I intend to
reclaim my family life for my family. It's nobody's business but ours.
Even presidents have private lives. It is time to stop the pursuit of personal
destruction and the prying into private lives and get on with our national life.
Our country has been distracted by this matter for too long, and I take my
responsibility for my part in all of this. That is all I can do.
Now it is time in fact, it is past time to move on.
We have important work to do real opportunities to seize, real problems to
solve, real security matters to face.
And so tonight, I ask you to turn away from the spectacle of the past seven
months, to repair the fabric of our national discourse, and to return our
attention to all the challenges and all the promise of the next American
century.
Thank you for watching. And good night.

Deposition in the Jones sexual harassment lawsuit
January 17, 1998
(The full text of the deposition is also online.)
Q. At any time were you and Monica Lewinsky alone together in the Oval
Office?
A. I don't recall, but as I said, when she worked at the legislative affairs
office, they always had somebody there on the weekends. I typically
worked some on the weekends. Sometimes they'd bring me things on the
weekends. She it seems to me she brought things to me once or twice
on the weekends. In that case, whatever time she would be in there, drop
it off, exchange a few words and go, she was there. I don't have any
specific recollections of what the issues were, what was going on, but
when the Congress is there, we're working all the time, and typically I
would do some work on one of the days of the weekends in the
afternoon.
Q. So I understand, your testimony is that it was possible, then, that you
were alone with her, but you have no specific recollection of that ever
happening?
A. Yes, that's correct. It's possible that she, in, while she was working
there, brought something to me and that at the time she brought it to me,
she was the only person there. That's possible.
. . .
Q. Have you ever met with Monica Lewinsky in the White House
between the hours of midnight and six a.m.?
A. I certainly don't think so.
Q. Have you ever met
A. Now, let me just say, when she was working there, during, there may
have been a time when we were all we were up working late. There are
lots of, on any given night, when the Congress is in session, there are
always several people around until late in the night, but I don't have any
memory of that. I just can't say that there could have been a time when
that occurred, I just but I don't remember it.
Q. Certainly if it happened, nothing remarkable would have occurred?
A. No, nothing remarkable. I don't remember it.
. . .
Q. Did you have an extramarital sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky?
A. No.
Q. If she told someone that she had a sexual affair with you beginning in
November of 1995, would that be a lie?
A. It's certainly not the truth. It would not be the truth.
Q. I think I used the term "sexual affair." And so the record is completely
clear, have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that
term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1, as modified by the Court.
. . .
A. I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. I've never
had an affair with her.
Interview by Jim Lehrer of 'NewsHour With Jim Lehrer'
January 21, 1998
Q: The news of this day is that Kenneth Starr, independent counsel, is
investigating allegations that you suborn perjury by encouraging a
24-year-old woman, former White House intern, to lie under oath in a civil
deposition about her having had an affair with you. Mr. President, is that
true?
A: That is not true. That is not true. I did not ask anyone to tell anything
other than the truth. There is no improper relationship. And I intend to
cooperate with this inquiry. But that is not true.
Q: "No improper relationship" define what you mean by that.
A: Well, I think you know what it means. It means that there is not a
sexual relationship, an improper sexual relationship, or any other kind of
improper relationship.
Q: You had no sexual relationship with this young woman?
A: There is not a sexual relationship that is accurate.
We are doing our best to cooperate here, but we don't know much yet.
And that's all I can say now. What I'm trying to do is to contain my natural
impulses and get back to work. I think it's important that we cooperate; I
will cooperate. But I want to focus on the work at hand.
Q: Just for the record, to make sure I understand what your answer
means, so there's no ambiguity about it
A: There is no
Telephone Interview with Roll Call
January 21, 1998
Q: You said in a statement today that you had no improper relationship
with this intern. What exactly was the nature of your relationship with her?
A: Well, let me say, the relationship was not improper, and I think that's
important enough to say. But because the investigation is going on and
because I don't know what is out what's going to be asked of me, I
think I need to cooperate, answer the questions, but I think it's important
for me to make it clear what is not. And then, at the appropriate time, I'll
try to answer what is. But let me answer it is not an improper
relationship and I know what the word means. So let's just
Q: Was it in any way sexual?
A: The relationship was not sexual. And I know what you mean, and the
answer is no.
Interview on NPR's 'All Things Considered'
January 21, 1998
Q: Many Americans woke up to the news today that the Whitewater
independent counsel is investigating an allegation that you, or you and
Vernon Jordan, encouraged a young woman to lie to lawyers in the Paula
Jones civil suit. Is there any truth to that allegation?
A: No, sir, there's not. It's just not true.
Q: Is there any truth to the allegation of an affair between you and the
young woman?
A: No, that's not true, either. And I have told people that I would
cooperate in the investigation and I expect to cooperate with it. I don't
know any more about it than I've told you, and any more about it really
than you do, but I will cooperate. The charges are not true, and I haven't
asked anybody to lie.
Q: Mr. President, where do you think this comes from? Did you have any
kind of relationship with her that could have been misconstrued?
A: Mara, I'm going to do my best to cooperate with the investigation. I
want to know what they want to know from me. I think it's more
important for me to tell the American people that there wasn't improper
relations, I didn't ask anybody to lie, and I intend to cooperate. And I
think that's all I should say right now, so I can get back to the work of the
country.
At White House photo opportunity with Yaser Arafat
January 22, 1998
Q: Forgive us for raising this while you're dealing with important issues in
the Middle East, but could you clarify for us, sir, exactly what your
relationship was with Ms. Lewinsky, and whether the two of you talked
by phone, including any messages you may have left?
A: Let me say, first of all, I want to reiterate what I said yesterday. The
allegations are false and I would never ask anybody to do anything other
than tell the truth. Let's get to the big issues there, about the nature of the
relationship and whether I suggested anybody not tell the truth. That is
false.
Now, there are a lot of other questions that are, I think, very legitimate.
You have a right to ask them; you and the American people have a right
to get answers. We are working very hard to comply and get all the
requests for information up here, and we will give you as many answers as
we can, as soon as we can, at the appropriate time, consistent with our
obligation to also cooperate with the investigations.
And that's not a dodge, that's really why I've I've talked with our
people. I want to do that. I'd like for you to have more rather than less,
sooner rather than later. So we'll work through it as quickly as we can and
get all those questions out there to you.
At White House news conference on education
January 26, 1998
Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I
worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the
American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I
did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never
told anybody to lie, not a single time never. These allegations are false.
And I need to go back to work for the American people.

How Stuff Works
It's not often that you run across a site on the Internet
that explains the science of everyday things in simple terms.
It's also not often that the site you run across will be
written by a person whose real name is Mr. Brain (no kidding).
If his name alone isn't credential enough for you, perhaps his
work as a teacher of computer science at North Carolina State
University or his authorship of ten published books will sway you.
Either way, his straightforward articles on "how stuff works" will

Green summer, who hurried
Between kitchen and orchard on small

All shining fruits into her eager hands.
That summer I hurried too, wakened
To books and music and circling philosophies.
I sat in the kitchen sorting through volumes of answers
That could not solve the mystery of the trees.
My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.

DefenseLINK is the official gateway to most things

branches has its own site, from which you can link
out to a world of U.S. defense info, but this
starting point provides plenty of context on the
entire American military establishment. More

Bosnia or the Middle East, get special attention.

Even if you aren't a foreign policy expert, the U.S.

For instance, ever travel overseas? State offers
guidelines for Americans visiting foreign lands --
like which ones to avoid -- and advice on
passports and health care concerns. Of course, it
also serves as the voice of America's foreign

3. Today in History --26 August 1791
On August 26, 1791, John Fitch was granted a U.S.
patent for steamboats. Fitch had previously
demonstrated the first successful steamboat voyage
on August 22, 1787, when he launched a 45-foot
craft on the Delaware River in the presence of
delegates from the Constitutional Convention. He
went on to build a larger steamboat which carried
passengers and freight between Philadelphia and
Burlington, New Jersey.
In 1814, Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston
brought steamboating to commercial success with
the offering of regular steamboat service between
New Orleans and Natchez, Mississippi. The boats
traveled at the rate of eight miles per hour
downstream and three upstream. In 1816, Henry
Miller Shreve launched his steamboat Washington
that completed the voyage from New Orleans to
Louisville, Kentucky in 25 days. Over the years
steamboat design improved so that by 1853 the trip
to Louisville took only 4 and 1/2 days.
Between 1814 and 1834, New Orleans steamboat
arrivals increased from 20 a year to 1200,
transporting cargoes of cotton, sugar, and
passengers. Throughout the east, steamboats
contributed greatly to the economy by
transporting agricultural and industrial supplies.
Steam propulsion and railroads developed separately,
but it was not until railroads adopted the technology of
steam that they began to flourish. By the 1870s,
railroads began to supplant steamboats as the major
transporter of both goods and passengers.

I have the utmost respect for the President who has always behaved
appropriately in my presence.
I have never had a sexual relationship with the President, he did not
propose that we have a sexual relationship, he did not offer me
employment or other benefits in exchange for a sexual relationship, he did
not deny me employment or other benefits for rejecting a sexual relationship.

2. Quote of the Day -- Counting
Counting
by Douglas Goetsch
I'd walk close to buildings counting
bricks, run my finger in the grout
till it grew hot and numb. Bricks
in a row, rows on a floor, multiply
floors, buildings, blocks in the city.
I knew there were numbers for everything
tires piled in mountains at the dump,
cars on the interstate to Maine,
pine needles blanketing the shoulder of the road,
bubbles in my white summer spit.
I dreamed of counting the galaxies
of freckles on Laura MacNally,
touching each one she loves me,
she loves me not right on up her leg,
my pulse beating away at the sea
wall of my skin, my breath
inhaling odd, exhaling even.
To know certain numbers
would be like standing next to God,
Who I figured must not be a jealous God
but a counting God, too busy
to stop for war or famine.
I'd go out under the night sky
to search for Him up there:
God counting, next to Orion
drawing his bow. I'd seen
an orthodox Jew on the subway
reading the Book of Numbers,
bobbing into his palms
with fury and precision
as he mouthed them, a single
drop of spittle at the center
of his lip catching the other lip
and stretching like silk thread.
At night I dreamed a constant stream
of numbers shooting past my eyes so fast
all I could do was mouth them as they
came. I'd wake up reading the red
flesh of my lids, my tongue
flapping like ticker tape.
I come from a family of counters;
my brother had 41 cavities in 20 teeth
and he told everyone he met;
Grandpa figured his compound
daily interest in the den, at dusk,
the lights turned off, the ice
crackling in his bourbon; my father
hunched over his desk working
overtime for the insurance company,
using numbers to predict
when men were going to die.
When I saw the tenth digit added
to the giant odometer in Times Square
tracking world population, I wondered
what it would take for those wheels
to stop and reverse. What monsoon
or earthquake could fill graves faster
than babies wriggled out of wombs?
Those vast cemeteries in Queens
white tablets lined up like dominoes
running over hills in perfect rows
which was higher, the number
of the living or the dead? Was it
true, what a teacher had said:
get everyone in China to stand on a bucket,
jump at exactly the same time
and it'd knock us out of orbit?
You wouldn't need everyone,
just enough, the right number,
and if you knew that number
you could point to a skinny
copper-colored kid and say
You're the one, you can send us flying.
