Benjamin E. Reynolds, «The 'One Like a Son of Man' According to the Old Greek of Daniel 7,13-14», Vol. 89 (2008) 70-80
While studies of the Old Greek (OG) of Daniel 7,13-14 are not uncommon, they are often undertaken as part of a broader examination of the 'one like a son of man'. Rarely, if ever, do these studies focus on the description of this figure in the OG version and what readers of this version might have understood of this character. This study is an examination of the interpretation of OG Daniel 7,13-14, and the argument is made that the OG portrays the 'one like a son of man' as similar to the Ancient of Days and as a messianic figure.
The βÄ€One Like a Son of ManβÄù
According to the Old Greek of Daniel 7,13-14
Studies of the βÄ€one like a son of manβÄù in Daniel 7 typically follow the
description found in the Aramaic text of Daniel (1). Reference is made to the
two Greek versions of Daniel, the Old Greek (OG) and Theodotion (Q) (2),
when their support deviates from the Aramaic or offers some other relevant
insight (3). Although it is important to keep in mind the differences between
the Aramaic and Greek versions and the reasons for these differences (4), it is
also worthwhile to examine the interpretation provided by the OG because the
OG is a witness to a specific tradition of Daniel and since in some sense or at
some level, every translation is an interpretation (5). Jennifer Dines states:
Even if it is unclear whether a divergence between the LXX and the
MT comes from the translator or from his source-text, a difference of
interpretation between the two texts has significance. If nothing else, it
shows that there were different streams of tradition, and if the LXX
witnesses to some elements of interpretation which have not otherwise
been preserved in Hebrew [or Aramaic], it is a very important window
onto a period of biblical interpretation before the MT emerged as
dominant (6).
(1) I am grateful for the various comments and questions given by those who heard
earlier drafts of this paper at the Society of Biblical Literature Greek Bible Section, 22
November 2007 and the Scottish Conference for Postgraduate Students in Theology and
Religious Studies, 8 June 2006.
(2) There are only three known witnesses to the OG text of Daniel in existence today:
Codex Chisianus 88 (9th-11th century CE), a Syriac version translated from the Greek called the
Syro-Hexaplar (7th century CE), and Papyrus 967 (2nd-3rd century CE). Only Papyrus 967 is
witness to the OG prior to OrigenβÄôs reworking of the Greek Old Testament into his Hexapla.

(3) One possible exception is T.J. MeadowcroftβÄôs work on Daniel 7 (Aramaic Daniel
and Greek Daniel. A Literary Comparison [JSOTSS 198; Sheffield 1995] 198-244), but the
emphasis of his study is on the comparison of the Aramaic and OG and the possible Vorlage
of the OG.

DVD Release Date: April 4, 2006
Theatrical Release Date: December 9, 2005
Rating: PG (battle sequences, frightening moments)
Genre: Family/Fantasy
Run Time: 132 min.
Director: Andrew Adamson
Actors: Tilda Swinton, Jim Broadbent, James McAvoy, Liam Neeson, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Rupert Everett, Ray Winstone, Dawn French
After months and months of eager expectation, families across America will now finally get to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Based on the beloved children's book by Christian apologist and theologian C.S. Lewis, the making of the film has been one of this year's biggest news stories in Christian circles. Devotees and casual readers alike have been excitedly gobbling up any and all information available on the film's production. The foremost question on everyone's mind: will the movie properly portray the underlying Christian themes of the book?
Lewis fans will no doubt cringe at some of the film's minor variances from the original book, but for the most part, the highly anticipated movie is true to its source material. Pevensie siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy (portrayed by William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley respectively), are evacuated from London to be kept safe from the German bombings during World War II, and sent to live in an old mansion in the English countryside. In a spare room of this enormous house, the children discover a wardrobe that leads them to the magical world of Narnia. Once there, the children discover their arrival was predicted by an ancient prophesy that foretold their coming would end the reign of the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton). The witch, who has set herself up as Queen of Narnia, keeps the land in a state of perpetual winter, and turns those who defy her into stone statues.
In many media interviews in recent months, director Andrew Adamson and others involved with Narnia's production have stated their intention to remain true to Lewis' original story and themes. But, of course, because film is a much different medium than a novel, there are some additions. The movie opens with a more detailed look at the children living through London bombings, and the emotional trauma of being evacuated and separated from their mother. Although this back-story was a mere page of the book, the extra perspective gives the film some additional depth and makes the children's characters that much more realistic. Extended battle sequences and chase scenes later in the film certainly add to the story's tension and conflict. Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis' stepson and manager of the Lewis estate, was on hand throughout the process to see that the film didn't stray from Lewis' vision.
One of Narnia's great strengths is the completely believable actors cast as the four Pevensie children. According to Adamson, it took 18 months to find exactly the right kids to portray the movie's leads. Likewise, Swinton shines as the icy queen Jadis, who holds Narnia in both the literal and figurative grip of winter. At first kind and sweet to the troubled Edmund, the witch wins the allegiance of the wayward sibling turning him against his brother and sisters. He soon learns the true horrible nature of the "Queen" however when he fails to follow her instructions to the letter.
In a theme as enduring as literature itself, Edmund's treachery, and then repentance remain at the core of the story. His redemption by Aslan the Lion, the true ruler of Narnia and the narrative's "Christ-figure," is perhaps the most intense and effective part of the film. Even though these themes are toned down a bit from the book, they are clearly present. Unfortunately the choice of Liam Neeson to voice the Great Aslan was a bit problematic, and often distracting from the story. For all his great talent, Neeson didn't sound like Aslan to me. Although the movie includes the famous line that Aslan "isn't a tame lion," Neeson's voice did not portray any of the formidable wildness you would have expected to hear in the great lion-king.

Grants will go to 10 awardees in 18 states
Pediatric electronic health records are getting a boost from the Health and Human Services Department. HHS is handing out $100 million in grants to states through 10 awards for innovations in children's health data.
Eight of the 10 awardees will collect and analyze data on children's health care quality measures. HHS' eventual aim is to establish a nationwide system for measuring the performance of children's health care providers.
The five-year grants will be applied to health information technology used for children enrolled in Medicaid and the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. The 10 grants will go to individual states and groups of states, with a total of 18 states receiving funding.
"Exploring new technologies and initiatives will help ensure our kids get the high-quality care they need and deserve," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement announcing the awards Feb. 22.

New Puppy Alert! Martha Stewart Names Ghenghis Khan
Well, we've been waiting for word on which lil Chow Chow Martha Stewart would be adding to her family, and she's finally made her choice! Meet Ghenghis Khan, this adoro grandson of the late Paw Paw. He's just seven weeks old and the only boy in his litter (with two sisters) – I wonder if lil Sharkey and Francesca are ready for him?!
Turns out Martha waited for another litter so those pups we saw her cuddling with before (including a different pup named "Khan") have found other happy homes. Check out another cute shot of this pooch when you read more.

Just a shame that someone in the spotlight isnt putting more emphasis on adopting pets instead of waiting through litter after litter. The puppy is absolutley adorable, but i feel more for the pets stuck in the pound. There are lots of puppies at shelters!

I just lost my precious chow mix after ten years. He was the best dog. So loyal and sweet. He was incredibly smart and was so protective (in a good way) of the family. His death absolutely devastated me.
I don't want anyone to dismiss a chow or chow mix solely on the basis of some "horror" stories. Those stories are not indicative of the breed. In most cases involving dogs, there is usually some other factor that came into play other than the breed. All dogs, like people, should be taken on a one-on-one basis. You wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) dismiss a person based on their appearance. Dogs deserve the same benefit of the doubt.

I will step up and apologize for my breed-stereotyping. I very much agree that it is unfair to characterize a breed as "bad" given the huge role that training plays in how a dog behaves. There are great dogs of every breed. However, from everything that we read, we knew that a Chow would require much more intensive training, on average, than the Lab that we ended up with. I don't think we were being "breedist", we were just being realistic about our current situation and the best dog for us at this point in time.
Best of luck with your new Holiday baby, Sunny!

He is TOO CUTE!
Please - can we not stereotype breeds on a pet board?? I have a chow chow and a greyhound. Believe me, my chow is my life. She is the sweetest dog ever (even her doggie daycare staff agrees), loves people, and likes to play with other dogs. I know she will be gentle with my baby (due in 2 wks) because I've seen her around my niece and she is a very well trained dog. I actually have much less confidence that our greyhound will do as well as my chow (he is kind of spastic and excitable).
I personally believe that while individual dog personality is very important - it's also all about how YOU raise your dog. You make the effort to expose them and socialize them with other animals and people of all ages, train them properly to understand who is the alpha (you), provide them with basic control commands, and give them sufficient exercise and attention. Having a good dog is largely the responsibility of the dog owner to invest the time in having a happy and healthy dog to begin with.

OMG what a little puff of cuteness now. I hear this breed is very independent with heaps of personality, rather like Martha herself.

When my hubby and I were at the shelter picking out our pup, we were really torn because all the "part-Chows" were super adoro in their fluffiness, but from everything we read, we knew wanted to avoid them. In the end, we stuck with our cutie black lab/collie.

I've had two and just lost one on October 10 to a rare form of cancer. They are very cute puppies and dogs but also very loyal. I for one do not like kids but would never have dreamed of putting either around anyone shorter than me. They are very prone to want to be the alpha dog so you have to lay down the law at an early age. I have pics of both on my profile. My LuLu is the one that just passed.

Re: Digging Force
If you install a 3000 psi hyd gage in a tee in the IN port of the BH valve, you can see the pressure developed by any BH cyl, plus use it to trouble shoot the hyd system.
You could install a male QD and just plug iin the gage when necessary.J.J.

Desmoid tumors, a rare type of soft tissue neoplasm (new abnormal growth or tumor), usually develop in the arms, legs, abdomen or chest of children and adults. Sometimes they are called aggressive fibromatosis. Although they typically don't spread to other parts of the body, they can quickly invade nearby tissues and organs. Desmoid tumors sometimes occur in people who have a family history of colon cancer, particularly those with familial adenomatous polyposis.

Thirteen-time Crappie USA Classic qualifier Stokes McClellan of Huntersville, North Carolina, spends most of his time trolling with as many as a dozen rods--a great way to find crappies on the move.
Like Oklahoma crappie expert Todd Huckabee, he won't start fishing until he locates bait, but this time of year, it's pretty easy to find.
McClellan works his way in and out of creeks and large coves, keeping an eye on his depthfinder and on the surface of the water. Often, he'll spot the telltale rings left by small shad flipping on top. Although shad don't stay in one area for long, when crappies migrate with the bait, they usually find cover and stick to it until the bait moves again.
"Big crappies are definitely loners. I rarely ever catch more than one at a time when I'm trolling, but the smaller fish are much more likely to travel in schools, so if I catch one, I can probably catch a bunch," McClellan says.
He follows a basic rule: light-colored lures on bright days or in clear water and dark colors in stained water or on overcast days. He also uses even larger lures than Huckabee. "I'm after big fish, so I like larger baits like 3-inch Bass Pro Shops Triple Ripple Tail grubs and Charlie Brewer Slider grubs. Fall crappies are feeding heavily, so if you put that big bait in front of a big fish, he'll probably eat it," says McClellan.
McClellan likes to troll for the same reasons Huckabee moves quickly from one piece of cover to the next: He can work a lot of water until he finds the fish. If he sees shad throughout a long cove, he'll work his way from the back of the creek to the front, keeping an eye on his depthfinder as he eases along the shoreline. He typically uses a dozen rods and rigs, each with a different style or color of bait or at a different depth. Once he starts catching fish, he changes all of his rods to pinpoint that key depth range and uses whichever lure the fish seem to prefer.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
The crappie is sportfishing's undisputed King of Spring. Here's where to find 'em shallow in the spawning season, and when.
Follow this water temperature roadmap to big crappies all year.
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!

The manufacturing systems and processes of the future can't be managed with yesterday's knowledge. Driven by technological innovation, ever more responsive to their customers, the factories of the 21st century will be leaner, faster, smarter, more complex, requiring multidisciplinary approaches. The engineers who will run them must be committed to continuous improvement not only in the processes they manage but in their own skills as well.
To answer this need, the University of Kentucky's College of Engineering offers an array of advanced manufacturing courses for the working engineer. Students may elect to pursue a master's degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering or, if they wish, take individual graduate courses as needed.
Students may choose between 2 options:
Thesis option (twenty-four credit hours, 8 courses) plus thesis
Project option (thirty credit hours, 10 courses) plus project worth 3 credit hours
Core Courses
The required core courses stress the actual and the practical. These are:
MFS/ME 505 Modeling of Manufacturing Processes and Machines
MFS/EE 605 Systems for Factory Information and Control
MFS/ME/EE 606 Manufacturing Seminar/Project
MGT/MFS 611 Organizational Behavior
Instructors regularly interact with industry and use industry problems for class projects. The seminar project class typically involves study of actual manufacturing processes in real factory settings.
Emphasis Areas
The remaining course requirements can be satisfied by choosing from a variety of multidisciplinary courses, drawing on business and communications, as well as engineering specialties, thus allowing students to specialize in one of the following areas:
lean manufacturing
- The Lean Systems Program teaches how to improve manufacturing systems and business operations by applying Lean principles. Lean principles, as originally developed by Toyota, require a rethinking of operations in order to enhance quality , lower cost, and improve responsiveness. These principlees are applied to equipment, to product design, to process design, and even to organizational management. The program is coordinated through the Institute for Sustainable Manufacturing (ISM). Students interested in the program will take two core courses: MFS503 Lean Manufacturing Principles and Practices, and MFS526 Operations Management in Lean.
- manufacturing processes, (e.g. machining, forming, micro machining, polymer processing )
- sustainable manufacturing
- polymer process engineering
- systems design and analysis
Prospective students must apply to the UK Graduate School and be admitted to both the UK Graduate School and the Degree Program. Details regarding degree program options, requirements for admission, step by step instructions for the application process, and more are available in the MFS Graduate Handbook and other pages linked above.
To be admitted, a student should have an undergraduate engineering degree from an ABET accredited engineering program or an equivalent program. (Visit the ABET Homepage to find out if your program is ABET accredited.) Applicants who have been awarded Bachelor degrees other than engineering or from engineering programs not accredited by ABET (including those offered by institutions outside the United States) may be admitted only if persuasive evidence (test scores, grades, letters of recommendation) indicate strong academic potential. Students with an undergraduate major not in engineering may also need to complete a certain number of undergraduate engineering courses to prepare them for this program. A minimum grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale for undergraduate work is expected and GRE scores must be at least 700 quantitative. International students should submit TOEFL or IELTS scores as well.
An additional option for University of Kentucky undergraduate students is the dual degree program: combine a BS in electrical or mechanical engineering with an MS in manufacturing systems engineering. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and submission of GRE scores are required for admission. This program does not reduce the number of credit hours required for either degree.

This report presents comprehensive and up-to-date information and data on marine cold-water coral reefs from around the world. Cold Water Coral Reefs: Out of Sight - No Longer Out of Mind aims to provide policy makers with the information required to take concerted action in the conservation, protection and sustainable management of these beautiful, largely unexplored and fragile coral reefs.
The Protected Planet Report 2012 reviews progress towards the achievement of international protected area targets.
Resource Type: ReportsAssuming no radical transformation in human behavior, we can expect important changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services by 2050. A considerable number of species extinctions will have taken place. Existing large blocks of tropical forest will be much reduced and fragmented, but temperate forests and some tropical forests will be stable or increasing in area, although the latter will be biotically impoverished. Marine ecosystems will be very different from today's, with few large marine predators, and freshwater biodiversity will be severely reduced almost everywhere. These changes will not, in themselves, threaten the survival of humans as a species.
Resource Type: Journal PapersSustainability requires living within the regenerative capacity of the biosphere. In an attempt to measure the extent to which humanity satisfies this requirement, we use existing data to translate human demand on the environment into the area required for the production of food and other goods, together with the absorption of wastes. Our accounts indicate that human demand may well have exceeded the biosphere's regenerative capacity since the 1980s. According to this preliminary and exploratory assessment, humanity's load corresponded to 70% of the capacity of the global biosphere in 1961, and grew to 120% in 1999.
Resource Type: Journal PapersBiologists view Protected Areas (PAs) as natural areas established and managed primarily for the conservation of nature. However, many early Pas were established for aesthetic or socio-economic reasons and received little scientific input to their design. More recently, scientists have identified gaps in PA networks and various contemporary PAs have been established to provide for habitats and species in need of protection.
Scientists have also modelled minimum areas and population sizes that should be protected to prevent extinctions arising from demographic or chance causes. However, these theoretical ideals are difficult to put into practice, particularly as PAs increasingly face more immediate external threats. If scientists are to influence future PA design, and if PAs are to succeed in the long term, these concepts must be applied in practice. Therefore, sufficient protection must be integrated with human needs and aspirations in the design of future protected areas.
This summary report aims to provide the European Commission with an overview of the likely impact of climate change on biodiversity in the European Union and indications as to how the design and implementation of current policy might need to be adapted in order to ensure that the EU respects its commitment to reduce biodiversity loss by 2010 and beyond.
Resource Type: ReportsOur analyses show significant differences between predictions from different models, with predicted changes in range size by 2030 differing in both magnitude and direction (e.g. from 92 loss to 322 gain). We explain differences with reference to two characteristics of the modelling techniques: data input requirements (presence/absence vs. presence-only approaches) and assumptions made by each algorithm when extrapolating beyond the range of data used to build the model. The effects of these factors should be carefully considered when using this modelling approach to predict species ranges. Main conclusions We highlight an important source of uncertainty in assessments of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and emphasize that model predictions should be interpreted in policy-guiding applications along with a full appreciation of uncertainty.
Resource Type: Journal PapersThe effects of Pleistocene glaciations on the genetic characteristics of the most austral conifer in the world, Pilgerodendron uviferum, were analysed with specific reference to the hypothesis that the species persisted locally in ice-free areas in temperate South America.
Results indicated that Pilgerodendron populations are highly monomorphic, probably reflecting past population bottlenecks and reduced gene flow. Southernmost populations tend to be the least genetically variable and were therefore probably more affected by glacial activity than northern ones. Populations located outside ice limits seem to have been isolated during the glacial period. The presence of centres of genetic diversity, together with the lack of a significant correlation between genetic and geographical distances and the absence of geographical patterns of allelic frequencies at most analysed alleles, may indicate that Pilgerodendron did not advance southward after the last glaciation from a unique northern refugium, but spread from several surviving populations in ice-free areas in Patagonia instead.
Resource Type: Journal PapersA European Study on protected area management effectiveness assessments was carried out between May 2009 and March 2010, to provide an overview of existing studies, evaluation methods and results. This study was initiated in response to the Global Study's insufficient coverage of the European sub-region, and as protected area governance in Europe has distinct characteristics that justified a separate analysis. The study was led by the Universities of Greifswald and Queensland, in partnership with UNEP-WCMC, EUROPARC Federation and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN).
Resource Type: ReportsThe Global Study into management effectiveness evaluation was conducted between late 2005 and 2010. In cooperation with many people across the world, it aimed to strengthen the management of protected areas by compiling the existing work on management effectiveness evaluation, reviewing methodologies, finding patterns and common themes in evaluation results, and investigating the most important factors leading to effective management.

Ryan Zimmerman is hitting the DL with a hamstring strain, and to replace him, the Nats are calling up their top prospect, Anthony Rendon. Rendon showed he was big league ready during spring training, and many wondered if he might begin the season at the highest level. But in an effort to maximize the 22-year-old's plate appearances, Washington opted to reassign him to Double-A Harrisburg where through 65 PA he's hit .292/.462/.500 with 2 homers. With Zimmerman shelved, Rendon becomes the starting third baseman, and you should certainly grab him if he's still available. Featuring a plus-plus hit tool and an advanced approach at the dish, he'll help immediately in AVG and OBP categories, and he might even toss in a few homers. For more detail on Rendon, here's my Nationals' top ten, where he ranked #1. Also, check out this Scouting the Unknown post from last August.

The Run Down
The Rays' player development systems have always been top-notch, and for the past several years, they've maintained one of the better farm systems in the game. As a matter of timing more than anything else — some bad luck, too (see Beckham) — the system was a little lighter than usual in the high-impact department near the end of last season. They were growing older, and more expensive at the big league level. It appeared that they were deviating from Andrew Friedman's operational model — a patient, bottom-up approach that had discovered and nurtured talent better than just about any other organization — that had made them a year-to-year contender in baseball's toughest division. And then the James Shields deal happened and the natural order was restored to the baseball universe. All of a sudden, Wil Myers became a Ray, and the once-lacking high-impact department was replenished with one of the more high-impacty dudes in the minors. Beyond Myers, Tampa added MLB-ready pitching depth in Jake Odorizzi. They also nabbed Mike Montgomery on the cheap — sure, he pitched like a pile of hot garbage in 2012, but one year does not ruin a prospect. When considering this top ten back in October, I was kinda worried about having to cover a slew high-upside 18-year-olds who hadn't yet played outside of instructional league. Thank you, Andrew Friedman, for making this post more interesting.
By the numbers, Manny Machado struggled through his first two months of Double-A baseball. It seemed like most nights I looked at Bowie's box, Machado's line was 0-fer. But then I'd read something from the O's about how his current production was of no concern, that he was tweaking his approach, that scouts are still encouraged. Still, it's hard not to be a little worried when the guy I ranked No.

The Run Down
The Rays have enough young, good pitchers that they can just pull one out for a spot start with mild success like Alex Cobb.

The Run Down
Two really interesting factoids from Baseball America's preview on the 2009 Cubs, factoid number 1 – "Chicago hasn't gotten long-term production out of a first-round pick since Kerry Wood in 1995; factoid number 2 – other than Geovany Soto, who as drafted in round 11 in 2001, they "haven't developed a position player it signed into an All-Star since they drafted Joe Girardi in 1986." With a couple of trades this past year (Sean Gallagher and catcher Josh Donaldson for Rich Harden; Jose Ceda (#4 ranked prospect) for Kevin Gregg) the Cubs traded away a third of their top ten prospects.

Sometimes, cured pork can speak volumes. In the case of the effervescent Urbana, Ill.-based seven-piece, The Duke of Uke & His Novelty Orchestra, their inclusion of "bacon" as an inspiration on their Facebook page — alongside the more conventional choices of Motown, Funk, Ragtime, Jazz, Rock and "Popssical" — is telling for multiple reasons.
THE DUKE OF UKE & HIS NOVELTY ORCHESTRA perform Friday, Jan. 4 at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine. Buy tickets, check out performance times and get venue details here.
Bacon a product that comfortably syncs with lowbrow art culture and espouses the same easy-to-understand "come one, come all" sense of fun that TDOU&HNO's music does. This ukulele- and brass-heavy group's fantastically upbeat and richly rhythmic material could generate a colorful conga line — a simple physical manifestation of joy through music — with little trouble, just as bacon is likely to excite your average American's taste buds when they need an edible pick-me-up.
Just as people have taken to exalting bacon for its versatility in cooking (yes, bacon beer, bacon sundaes and maple bacon donuts are real things), The Duke and Co . squeeze diversity from wherever they happen to find it. The band's 2012 full-length April's Empire includes social protest tunes, introverted springtime ballads and dozens of cues to dance. You can easily imagine the Duke of Uke and cohorts entertaining crowds of scattered demographics, which is why they're totally worth catching when they're in town.THE DUKE OF UKE & HIS NOVELTY ORCHESTRA perform Friday, Jan. 4 at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine.

10, 2002
meeting began at 9:05 a.m. Present
were Karen Hackman, Joanne Kelly, Merdy Smith, and Lucy Webb. Mary Wilkes Towner and Mary Bissey
arrived later.
agenda for the meeting was passed out.
There were no changes to the agenda.
minutes of the June 4, 2002 Database Standards Committee meeting were approved
as written.
Accelerated Reader note: Study Program Information Note (MARC
Merdy reported on her latest attempts to obtain Accelerated Reader
information from Renaissance Learning.
The company had indicated they would send 20 CDs with all the AR titles,
levels, points, etc. on them, but nothing was ever received.
Merdy has talked with several schools and public libraries over the
past several months, finding out
how they handle AR information.
The majority of the schools and public libraries she has spoken with are
cooperating by the school giving
its list of AR titles with the library and the library putting special marking
on the AR books they have or physically locating them separately from the rest
of their collection.
Because putting AR information in the bib record could mislead
patrons (in that they might think their school has the test for that title just
because the AR information is in the bib), Merdy examined the holdings record
to see if it would be possible to put AR test information there in order to
indicate which schools had which tests.
There is not an appropriate field in the holdings record. Mary Towner suggested using the call
number field (e.g., putting Test or Quiz at the end of the cutter) or using the
copy/volume field. The committee
discussed the patron education that would be needed if AR information was put
in the bib record and/or the holdings record.
It was the consensus of the committee that putting AR information in
the bib record and/or the holdings record, or distributing a general list of AR
titles to libraries, would be more likely to mislead patrons than help
them. In light of the cooperation
demonstrated between many existing school and public libraries, the committee
decided to neither put any AR information in a bib record or holding record,
nor to try to disseminate a general list of AR titles. The committee suggested that LTLS
consultants, in their walkaround visits, encourage cooperation between school
and public libraries in the area of AR information.
The committee then discussed the possibility of a Continuing
Education event related to AR: what is the AR program, how to manage your
accelerated readers (marking books in a public library, communicating between
school and public libraries), where to find information regarding reading
levels, etc. The possibility of a
pamphlet with this information was also suggested. Karen will contact her elementary librarians to see who is
active in AR and if they are cooperating with local schools re AR. JoAnne, Karen and Merdy may cooperate
on drafting a pamphlet.
Mary Towner passed out a document outlining her thoughts on taking a
broader look at the original idea of allowing subject heading in the Spanish
language in bib records in LINC.
Mary suggested that the committee propose a policy which would establish
a procedure for allowing other subject thesauri to be used in LINC, i.e.
granting authority to add subject headings from acceptable controlled
vocabulary lists. The committee
agreed to this approach and Mary Towner will prepare a draft policy proposal.
Merdy presented a report on the Database Standards Committeeπs
activities to the Policy Council on August 29, 2002. She reported on the committeeπs: 1.) continuing efforts to
learn about MARC, XML, AACR2 and Dublin Core; 2.) consideration of the handling
of Accelerated Reader information in LINC; 3.) consideration of the addition of
subject headings in the Spanish language to bibliographic records in LINC; and
4.) proposal to add movie ratings in bibliographic records in LINC. The Policy Council received copies of the
proposed policy: Cataloging ≠ Target Audience Note (MARC 521) and Background
information on the proposed policy.
Merdy also handed this information out to committee members at todayπs
meeting. The Policy Council is
considering the proposed policy.
Merdy indicated that Jan would like the Database Standards Committee
to continue its pursuit of learning about Dublin Core. The committee has been requested to
look at Dublin Core (DC) and how to implement it should Lincoln Trail migrate
to an automated system that can implement DC. Merdy
distributed two handouts to committee members: The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (ISSN 1041-5653) and Library Application Profile (DC-Library
Application Profile), a possible application profile that clarifies the use of
the Dublin Core metadata element set in libraries and library-related
applications and projects. The
latter document is not suggested as a standard to adopt or follow, but is given
out as one illustration of how a library might apply DC. The committee examined the two
documents. After discussion it was
decided that the committee should first learn about what is in use now (i.e., MARC21)
in order to have a basis for proceeding with the study of DC and how LTLS might
use it.
The next meeting, devoted to learning about MARC, will be held October
2, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. at the Lincoln Trail Libraries System.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:33 a.m.
Prepared by Merdy Smith

25th February 2014, 20:59 at 8:59 pm #249838I created Excel spreadsheets with a timeline of F3000 and GP2 teams, including separate ones for race winners.
This is how the field evolved in F3000 over the course of 20 seasons. The teams are listed in descending order from the first to take part in the championship. Grey boxes indicate a race participation, whilst blank boxes mean the opposite.
This is the same as the above, excluding teams who did not win a single race, and includes statistics. The teams are listed in descending order from the first to win. Races won are shown in yellow.The same goes for GP2:
Obviously the 2014 data in the first table are projections, hoping no one withdraws half way through the season, and have not been counted in the second table's statistics.
Hope you like them – any feedback is appreciated!

Qualifying: 19th – Race: 10th
Once more I qualified 19th, over a second behind 18th-placed Karthikeyan and one second ahead of 24th-placed Petrov. I rose to seventh with an average start but a smart choice of trajectories at turns 3 and 4. I became 6th when Vettel retired on the second lap, and stayed there until I pitted on lap 5: I was lucky that the others, right behind me, did not pit so I didn't have to wait in the pit lane, but their extra lap allowed four of them to jump ahead of me. Once 10th, my race was quiet though on the edge, and I continued my trend of always scoring this season.3rd February 2014, 21:35 at 9:35 pm #242514Race 7: Canada
Qualifying: 10th – Race: 1st
I was satisfied with my setup in practice but in Q1 I couldn't get out of the drop-out zone on medium tyres, and only managed to get into the top 10 on my third lap on super softs. The same happened in Q2, but I reached Q3. There I set a benchmark time on mediums and improved on the super softs, but only 7 tenths from Hulkenberg who was 8th, so I was last. I jumped to 4th at the start after turns 1 and two, and overtook Hamilton at turn 6 to take 3rd place. Vettel was ahead of me and Alonso led, almost out of sight already. On lap 6 I pitted with Vettel and we came out in traffic, which allowed me to overtake him. This, however, cost me some time and both Hamilton and Hulkenberg, the latter by a few inches, passed ahead of me. I took the position back from my team mate at turn 6 while Hamilton ran wide, and Nico followed, losing positions. I was now second, and on lap 11 I noticed Alonso in front me: his gap had gone from 8 to 3 seconds due to a mistake. I pushed even harder and the Spaniard repeated the mistake on lap 12, allowing my through and in the lead at turn 7. Alonso, Button, Hamilton and Hulkenberg started battling for positions and switching places again and again: at the final turn of the final lap, Alonso was overtaken by Hulkenberg who gladly took 3rd place behind Button, but Vettel also got ahead and finished 4th, cutting down my points recovery. With the win (I'm the first to take three wins this year) I'm now leading the drivers' championship by two points, and thanks to the double podium Sauber are also first in the teams' championship.1st February 2014, 14:00 at 2:00 pm #135089My helmet has been updated to the 2014 version!

5th January 2014, 18:40 at 6:40 pm #242508Race 5: Spain
Qualifying: 5th – Race: 12th
I got 10th place in Q1 with hard tyres, and in Q2 topped the timesheets on my second flying lap on soft tyres. I was fractionally slower in the first two sectors but twice as fast in the third and beat Vettel by two tenths. Despite improving in Q3, I was 5th, 6 tenths slower than Vettel, and Hulkenberg was 9th, 1.3s down. I had two runs of one lap on new medium tyres, but my second lap was wasted. My strategy is to set two consecutive lap times on the same tyre (in Q2 I went from 9th to 1st by doing so) but in order not to ruin my tyres too much before the race I settled for a one-lap performance, and took 5th place. Only during the race did I realise my setup was destroying my tyres, so whilst leading the race I anticipated my pit stop by three laps and stopped on lap 5, putting on hard tyres. After seven laps on that compound, two less than planned, I went back to the mediums for the final five laps but came out 19th and stayed there. Rosberg and Raikkonen were disqualified, and five drivers ahead of me were handed time penalties, raising me to 12th place. Hulkenberg dropped from 3rd to 6th for the same reason.Race 6: Monaco
Qualifying: 7th – Race: 1st
I got through Q1 by only 5 tenths, but I was faster in Q2 and finished 7th behind Hulkenberg who was 5th, and the same result was achieved in Q3. I got up to 3rd behind the Mercedes of Hamilton, the polesitter, and Rosberg at the start, with Hulkenberg behind me. There was an accident at turn 16, the second of the Piscine chicanes, which included Vettel and the two Ferraris, and the race was red-flagged. At the re-start Rosberg and I overtook Hamilton who had a slow start and there was another red flag for an accident involving Massa, Webber and Button. At the re-start I was on pole ahead of Hulkenberg and Rosberg as the latter two had pitted for damage at the end of the second lap. As I led the race, another accident cut down the runners to eight, and the Safety Car came out on track for two laps. This continued as no one seemed able to get through a lap without crashing, and I led Hulkenberg with lapped cars in between. Nico himself, unfortunately retired, and at that point I only wondered who would've crashed last, rather than hoping someone else could finish the race. At half distance, I was the only driver left with Vergne, Maldonado, Bianchi and Hulkenberg already classified in positions 2-5. Van der Garde, Button, Rosberg, Ricciardo and Raikkonen completed the top 10, and despite none of them completing the required 90% of the laps the top 10 were all awarded points. I had time to set the fastest lap and pit twice, and some rain fell in the dying stages of this unbelievable race before I crossed the chequered flag.Despite how funn this race might seem, it's rather worrying that 21 drivers all crashed at the same corner. I don't remember editing the game's database or downloading add-ons, so this gets me nervous. In Season Challenge, I always win at Suzuka as most AIs crash at the first corner. Is my game bugged? Have I bugged it? Have any of you experienced similar problems or know any way to fix this? I'm not sure I can re-install the game as I bought it online and don't have the CD.
24th December 2013, 11:45 at 11:45 am #247253Just noticed a thing I thought was curious: Xabi Alonso also wears the number 14 on his Real Madrid and Spain jerseys!
21st December 2013, 15:01 at 3:01 pm #210733Race 8: Europe
Qualifying: 8th – Race: 3rd
I got through to Q2 in 17th place but far behind Petrov, de la Rosa and the HRTs, as the knocked out were the two Ferraris, the two Saubers, Senna, Raikkonen and Karthikeyan. In Q2 Petrov was only 16th whilst I was 10th and went on, without new sets of soft tyres, to Q3, where I took 8th place on the prime compound. I was up to 4th place at turn two and overtook Button at turn four, then held my rivals behind as Rosberg and Hamilton faded away in the distance. After a series of spins by some of the other drivers, Vergne was fourth behind me when he stopped on lap 7, and I had to push desperately on the following lap to stay in front after I stopped myself. I was given used soft tyres despite reserving a set of new ones for the race, but stayed ahead of the Frenchman and managed my KERS and engine power to defend myself in the first back straight. I succeeded in doing so whilst the cars queued up behind me and I took my fourth podium in a row, and whilst losing three points to Hamilton who preceded me in the race, I stay ahead in the standings. -

Mike Smith -- ICHE Convention Keynote Speaker
J. Michael Smith is the President of Home School Legal Defense Association, an organization which he cofounded with Michael Farris in 1983 to protect the right of parents who choose home education as their way to satisfy the compulsory attendance law in the various states and Canada. Home School Legal Defense Association now represents over 80,000 member families.
Mike and his wife Elizabeth began homeschooling their four children in 1981. Their oldest daughter, Kari, is a paralegal in San Francisco. Their next daughter, Chrissy, was their first homeschool graduate and is a graduate of UCLA. Their two youngest children, Andrew and Erin, were also homeschooled and graduated from George Mason University.
His columns on home education appear regularly in the Washington Times, and he has been a guest on numerous television and radio programs, including Focus on the Family with Jim Dobson and Hannity and Colmes on Fox News. He believes that there is a revival taking place in America through the homeschool movement and that, through the second and third generation of homeschoolers, there is great potential to return America to its moral and religious foundation.
Mike will give four workshops, including one keynote address.
Here is just one of those workshops -- don't miss this one:
The Power of Praise with Our Children
Life and death is in the power of tongue. Deep scars can occur as a result of negative, condemning words and withholding of praise and affirmation. The goal of this talk is to ensure that our children do not grow up feeling rejection from us as parents because of bad communication. This talk uses James 3:1–10 as a model for how we use words to edify and build up rather than to tear down. The talk will explore some ways that we use our tongue to injure our children and how we can use our tongue as an instrument of blessing. The talk's goal is to develop a relationship with our child that lasts forever.
