the early morning risers are called larks and late evening are owls and the hummingbirds can switch backe difficult if you're a hummingbird. >> but genetically speaking it's okay. it's harder for an owl to get uparily early or a lark to stay up late. >> is it simply what you're demanding of yourself? >> no. it turns out to be genetics. people seem to be born one or the other. over the course of time that can change a little bit. as an example, my son who's 13 wants to stay up late and sleep late like most 13-year-olds do because of the psychological shift. if your core body temperature rises, that does it. later when you get into the 55, 65 range it can swing in the opposite way. that's where the blue plate special came in. >> i thought it's because you're old. >> no, it's not because you're old. well, i guess it kind of is but that's the time your body wants to eat so people were coming in early. >> what is this about punctuality where if you're one group, you're more punctual. >> they looked at college students and looked at an 8:15 class to see how many were there and they tested them

early risers are larks, late nighters are owls. >> it has to be more difficult if you're a humming birdget up early or a lark to stay up late than it is for a humming bird to flitter around. >> what determines which one you are? is it simply what you're demanding of yourself because of work? >> it turns out to be genetics. mother nature cannot be fooled on this one. people seem to be born one or the other. my son who's 13 wants to stay up late and sleep late like most 13-year-olds will want to do because our biological clock shifts. it's based on core body temperature rhythms. if it rises early, you're an early bird. if it rises later you're a night owl. later in life when you get into the 55, 65 age range it can swing the opposite way. that's where the blue plate special came in because people were coming in so early. >> i thought blue plate is because you're old. >> no not just because you're old. i guess it kind of is. it's more about, that's the time your body wants to eat. people were coming in early and restauranteurs were able to do this. >> they looked at college students and lo

lieutenant governor who was wealthy and could self-finance and everyone thought that he would win in a larkmost stunning upsets we have seen in recent history in texas and i think senator cruz did that by knowing precisely who his base was in texas and making sure that his opponent, david due hurst did not get to the right of him. that is a front no texas where there is no real democratic opposition. what does this do for him in a national election. it may help him in the primary, not so much in the general. >> ted cruz did address that issue that the women of the view were talking about earlier today. >> i was born in calgary. my parents, as a legal matter, my mother is an american citizen by birth. and it's been federal law for over two centuries that the child of an american citizen born abroad is an american citizen. >> case closed. move on. that's it. >> going back to john mccain's candidacy, this question came up during john mccain's candidacy in a polite style. some scholars started to wonder, given that john mccain was born to two american-born parents abroad. he was not born in the

and finally the captain of the lark managed to get enough people off of his ship that he could cast off. he got going again and picked up the crew of another blockade runner which had been wrecked the night before over on the peninsula. he picked up that crew and on the night of may 24th, headed back out into the gulf of mexico and back toward havana, and that was the last blockade runner to clear a confederate port. and it happened right here. this is not a part of civil war history that people are familiar with. and i think they should be. very easy to focus on the grand battles of the war but this is a part that people need to know about. this is a part that affected civilians. this is a part that affected the people back home. and in many ways what happened in galveston and in texas was typical of what happened across the south. particularly in seaports that were blockaded during the war. there was a continual, there was a continual union federal navy presence offshore, there were regular bombardments of the town. there was, you know excitement when a blockade runner would arrive. b
