RE: Livermore Pu -Reply

["Weiner, Ruth" <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

As I recall my Latin (it's been a while!)  "iacta est" means "it has been
thrown" and "ex fenestra" means "out of the windows".

Jack,

I feel ashamed. I learned Latin for six years a very long time ago, I know
"ergo", I know "iacta", I know "ex fenestra" which is a rather modern
"Latin", but what is "esto"? I can guess the meaning of the sentence, which
seems close to "throwing pearles tothe svines". Please persuade me that I
am not right!

Best regards, 
Franz
