52nd Annual BUCCANEER CUP
Florida's Premiere Sailfish Tournament!
January 22 – 24, 2015
The Buccaneer Cup Sailfish Release Tournament is a Florida sport fishing tradition that billfish anglers have looked forward to each January for over 50 years!
You'll be attending the captain's meeting at the historic Buccaneer Restaurant & Marina on Singer Island, the same place legends of the sport gathered during the winter sailfish run for drinks, cigars and to trade tales after long days on the water.
And it that's not enough history the awards dinner will be back at the Sailfish Club of Palm Beach, a fishing institution for the past 100 years!
You'll be fishing Gulf Stream waters that are the birthplace of billfishing. An area alive with Atlantic sailfish during the winter migration period when a turn of the weather can produce fishing that is by any definition world class!
You'll be fishing an event that at its core is held to benefit two worthwhile recipients. The Florida Fish for Life Cancer Charity and the Recreational Fishing Alliance split the proceeds, nothing held back.
This year tournament directors Fred Miller and Gary Caputi welcome back Courtney Bowden to reprise her role as event coordinator after doing such a great job in 2014. The plan is to expand participation through a broader offering of Calcutta levels so there are more opportunities to win whether you fish live or dead bait, and to return the tournament to the prominence it deserves!

One of the much improved features in Notes 8.5.1 is the way that we handle hyperlinks. It's much easier to add a hyperlink to an email or any Notes document. First, copy the URL that you'd like to add as a hyperlink from the address tab in your browser..
Then, select the text to which you'd like to add a hyperlink to in your email or Notes document...
And choose Hyperlink from the drop-down menu (or click the icon in the toolbar ).
Click on the paste icon in the resulting dialog box.
And the copied URL will be pasted into the Link field.
When you click on OK, the selected text in your email of Notes document will now have the link to the URL (turning blue).
How easy is that?!
Dwight Morse | 31 January 2010 10:50:35 PM ET | | Comments (32)
So what is the difference between this and the Hotspot - URLLink?
When would I use one over the other? Just curious.
Is it possible with Notes 8.5.1 to _open/click_ a link during edit mode? (without copy/paste)
This is no more efficient that Create>Hotspot>Link Hotspot and paste the URL in the resulting dialog box.
@3 - Perhaps, but at least it uses industry-standard terminology. Users seem to understand what a "hyperlink" is and are used to seeing the link icon (in the toolbar button) in other products.
I don't have either the drop down menu or the link icon showing. How do I get them to show up?
@Denny: They accomplish the same thing...I use URLLink because it's fewer clicks
@Mark: this is new in 8.5.1. Are you using 8.5.1?
Good to know
I'm afraid still not as easy as other mail clients - where you simply paste ... or would that be too easy? .. ;)
Eric: Sorry it took so long to reply, I'm using 8.5 not 8.5.1 so that explains it.
uuuu... super mega fitcha!!!
how to use database resource images on page/form trough <img source='...'> ???
@Greg: you can copy and paste links, this is for those times when you want to hide the URL string (normally, because of its length)...and remember, Notes is not just a mail client, this stems from the ability to use text or graphics as a hyperlink to other resources
how to use hyperlink to open pdf file?
When we lost Outlook and switched to Lotus Notes, I was resolved to try to find 1 nice thing about LN that I could be positive about each day. I was stumped after the first day (I like the 'Send As Is' button). Now you have given me some new hope about LN to try -- we'll see what's allowed on our corporate network. Thanks.
Mmm, seems we are only using 8.5 still. Oh well.
@James: A lot of our tips *do* work for 8.5. If it says 8.5.1, obviously not, but the rest of them work in 8.5. Enjoy!
Could you point me to the documentationon doing this from a script? I have a VB script that will generate a series of emails from an excel spread sheet but I can;t get it to properly format a URL as a hyperlink if I include it in the body text.
nice article. keep post like this...
This is ridiculous. I should just be able to paste the link into the email and have it appear as a clickable link.
Even a 2 year old knows what a hyperlink is these days. How come Lotus Notes needs to be told what it is ?
All I can find is information on how to add a hyperlink in Lotus Notes. How about how to edit the stupid thing after you add it. Hyperlink is grayed out after you add it. I end up having to retype the text and add a new link rather than just changing the one I already created. Very frustrating.
Hi Maery,
You can always right click on hyperlink text and select 'Hotspot properties' to edit the url value.
Why doesn't bracketing a link in carats work? <link> works in most programs, but not lotus notes.
hey guys, I am a new bie to lotus notes.Can any 1 help me in figuring out whats going wrong when i open a web link in notes 8.5 which is more than 1kb and its opening only till 1024bytes. I can literally see it when the link gets opened in IE 8. what is the problem ?? the same thing working fine in notes 6.5. can any 1 help me in this regard!!! Thanx in advance.
did the procedure described above
result: link is not clickable !!
It's actually not that easy. Having to google for an explanation for an easy task like this one and then having to navigate through menus. The way every other email application handles this is through the TEXT-CONTEXT menu, where it would be intuitive.
My Link is blue but not "clickable" either. I don't see a response to that? This should not be this hard. What a productivity tool! We have gone backwards 10 years. But we are saving money.
Someone please help.
When the link is blue but not "clickable", it's because you are still in edit mode with your email. When you actually send the email, you can then click the highlighted text.
Wow, really? So IBM makes you guess as to whether your link is going to be clickable after you send your email? I have been trying for 2 hours to insert three links into an email. Can't wait until we go to Outlook, where this is all much more intuitive with no guesswork.
A stupid question, but very boring for us every day:
How to copy the URL from an email we receive? I did not find another way than editing the document, hotspot properties, and copy the URL. Very boring, and not acceptable for normal users. Anyone knows who to do? We cannot click, since websites are whitelisted, so the browser first goes to the URL, and is the redirected by our proxy to another URL to get an error message.
Why Hyperlink a url when Lotus note does even have the simple ability to right click + copy link location?
Its a pain.
does not*
This would be awesome if my Hyperlink menu item wasn't grayed out! How do I enable the Hyperlink menu item? I've selected text, but the menu item remains disabled.

Why Christmas? Especially to one who doubts? Are you not being hypocritical? Unitarian Universalists, with their penchant for secular humanism are fond of arguing the validity of Christmas: Is it a Christian holiday? A pagan holiday? A secular holiday? Even outside my UU circles there is much apathy about Christmas—"It's just another day" I've heard quoted by many. I know all this... and I don't care! I love Christmas, always have and always will. It fills me with nostalgia and generosity and goodwill. And as far as the "meaning of Christmas" is concerned, as a Unitarian Universalist, I believe it is part of our spiritual maturation to search for and assign meaning to all the days of our lives. In this, Christmas is the high-water mark of the year–a time when the world slows, and considers our relationships with each other. Isn't that in itself enough to celebrate? Worthy of decorations, lights and music? The gifts we give each other at this time of year are more than just demonstrations of our generosity–they are symbols of the gifts we are capable of giving on all the other days of our lives. Gifts of love, compassion, industry, advocacy... the gifts of our common humanity. These were the values of Jesus—the true Christian values. And if we, as a Unitarian Universalists, need to reconcile the language of Jesus as the Savior in celebrating Christmas, can we not acknowledge that through his ministry of compassion, he was in fact our savior, by showing us the way to save ourselves?

Department of Physics and Engineering Physics
Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Physics and Engineering Physics › News, Events, and Publications › News › TU to offer Ph.D. in physics
Thursday, December 09, 2010
The department plans to admit three to five graduate students per year to the program.
The University of Tulsa Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a doctoral program in physics, expanding the university's academic offerings and further raising the school's profile in the fields of math, science and engineering. "A Ph.D. program in physics will provide a bridge with all the other programs within the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences; raise the quality and number of graduate physics applicants; and provide additional opportunities for external funding, faculty participation and collaboration," said George P. Miller, chair of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics. The department plans to admit three to five graduate students per year to the program, thereby maintaining a low student-to-faculty ratio and ensuring the personal educational experience for which TU is noted. The first Ph.D. physics students will be admitted for the fall 2011 semester, with the program being fully implemented by the fall of 2012. TU has offered a master's degree in physics and engineering physics for three years, and with the department's rapidly growing reputation, the doctoral program is a natural extension to these programs. The presence of the Ph.D. program will strengthen an already strong undergraduate physics program and will allow many of our master's students to continue to pursue their academic goals without leaving the university. "In the past six years, we have grown our resources to a level comparable to many Ph.D.-granting departments of similar size," Miller said. "We are particularly strong in instrumentation, optics, computational plasma physics, condensed matter theory, materials characterization, and nanotechnology." Jerzy Bodurka, associate professor and director of MRI Facilities at Laureate Institute for Brain Research, expressed his support for a Ph.D.-granting program at TU. "It would be an invaluable asset in assisting the technical development and research efforts under way at LIBR. It would further enhance the development of collaborative research projects between TU and LIBR and provide an opportunity for students to experience cutting-edge research in a nonacademic environment," he said. The program also received support from other departments, including Chemistry and Biochemistry Chair Dale Teeters, Harry H. Rogers Chair for Mechanical Engineering Edmund Rybicki and Norberg Chair for Electrical Engineering Gerald Kane. "I am impressed with the Physics Department's previous funding record, publications, graduate student enrollments and post doc hires. The faculty are very capable and motivated to be productive and contribute to the success of the department. They are focused on their research and teaching," Rybicki said. "Adding the Physics Department to the allowed Ph.D. departments is both warranted and a necessary step to the full doctoral status the college deserves," Kane said. "The additional courses that the Ph.D. in physics will be offering will in effect strengthen our graduate program and the programs in the other science and engineering disciplines," Teeters said. Miller added that students who obtain a doctorate in physics are often sought after by universities and industry and have very low jobless rates. "A physics Ph.D. graduate is highly employable, not only in traditional physics careers but also in a variety of alternate fields as wide ranging as computational analysis of markets and information technology," he said.

Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I'm also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way. The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom. So why do they have it in for me? It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can't use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me and I'm in for the fight of my life.

California State University Trustee Debra Farar, writer and education advocate Jonathan Mooney, space shuttle engineer Tony Magee and Pamela Villaseñor, deputy council of the Fernandeno Tataviam Band of Mission Indians, are among the dignitaries who will address Cal State Northridge students when they graduate later this month.
An estimated 10,305 students—about 7,399 bachelor's and 2,906 master's degree candidates in a total of 64 fields—are eligible to take part in the ceremonies scheduled to begin the evening of Monday, May 17.
"Although this past year has been extremely challenging for our students and all state universities due to the budget environment, commencement is a moment to savor achievement and the transformative power of a college education," said Cal State Northridge President Jolene Koester. "The happy faces of our newest graduates—and of their families, friends, and the university's faculty and staff who helped them along the way—always energizes me and reaffirms my firm belief in the important work we do at Cal State Northridge in providing opportunities and a bright future for our students."
The graduation celebration begins at 6 p.m. on Monday, May 17, with the Honors Convocation on the lawn in front of the Oviatt Library, located in the heart of the campus at 18111 Nordhoff St. in Northridge. More than 1,900 graduating students have been invited to participate.
This year's Honors Convocation speaker is Northridge alumna Debra Farar '75 (English) and '87 (Education), a nationally recognized leader in higher education. Farar served as an educational policy advisor for the Clinton administration and former California Gov. Gray Davis. For the last decade, she has been a member of the California State University Board of Trustees, serving as its chair from 2002-2004.
The formal commencement ceremonies are as follows:

The woman from Nevada who believes in a) dismantling the U. S. Departments of Education and Energy; b) privatizing Social Security; c) the right of citizens to pursue "Second Amendment remedies" if they're unhappy with Congress; d) the notion that victims of rape should try turning "a lemon situation into lemonade"; and e) her ability to be a better U.

Angry Birds
The most addictive and well-executed iPhone game in the history of the world, in which users sling the eponymous birds into the homes of menacing pigs. It's for the iPhone what BrickBreaker was for the BlackBerry: a game for people who don't think they're the type to play games.
The defining characteristic of governmental fiscal policies in the Western hemisphere. See: Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, and, oh yeah, Greece.

Mystery of the Thousand Candles
PUBLISHED: 08 Mar 2012 12:31:07 | UPDATED: 09 Mar 2012 00:02:31PUBLISHED: 09 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 09 Mar 2012Thousand Candles Vineyard, Yarra Valley. Photo courtesy Thousand Candles

Thousand Candles Vineyard, Yarra Valley. Photo courtesy Thousand Candles
More than a year ago, word got out that a Singapore-based business person had acquired a prime piece of Yarra Valley wine real estate.
The 485-hectare Killara Park estate on the southern edge of the Victorian wine region was once owned by David Mitchell, father of diva Dame Nellie Melba, and from 1883 by newspaper proprietor David Syme.
In addition to murmurings about the new owners of the property was word that Bill Downie, of William Downie cult pinot noir fame, had been contracted as consultant winemaker. Downie has crafted many vintages of pinot for De Bortoli, as well as the Yarra Valley wine he makes with his Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland wines.
Then there was talk about the appropriateness of some of the varieties established on the site; that they were more interested in making cabernet sauvignon and were not going to make chardonnay – sacrilege in Yarra-land.
Some locals wondered aloud how much of the property was even appropriate for viticulture anyway. And then there was the rumoured name, which most agreed – yours truly included – was terrible: Syme on Yarra.
These "on" names really aren't a good Australian look, so I called Bill about it and the other changes at the estate. These turned out to be all broadly correct except for the name – the wine label would not be called Syme on Yarra. Phew! And that's where I left it.
In May, I learnt Downie had made wine for the mysterious new label. Then late last year I learnt the name: Thousand Candles.
Seeing the label intrigued me further – enter Paul Henry, formerly with the Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation and now responsible for sales and marketing at Yarra's latest grand wine estate.
Having seen the label and knowing something of the ownership, my mind was running with images of those floaty candle, paper boat things, bobbing on a stream at dusk. But no, the inspiration was local, Henry told me, and drew on an Aboriginal ceremony granting freedom of the bush, which concludes with the lighting of firesticks.
To which an observer remarked: "The twilight of the evening had been interrupted by a thousand candles." Aha.
On the matter of the winery's – sorry, brand's (there is no winery on site) – Asian connections he told me: "We had to check it had cultural resonance in China. White candles are funereal, red are good and for remembrance, as I understand it."
The owner is something of a mystery, however. Henry admits he has still to meet him and has no further details "other than that the property is held and owned by an Australian Pty Ltd company".
He can confirm that about 4000 square metres of cabernet sauvignon, at an extremely high planting density (for Australia) of 8000 vines per hectare, has been established in addition to the 40 hectares already planted (mainly pinot noir). This cabernet component, Henry says, may potentially contribute to the "creation of a flagship wine further down the line".
That will surely get tongues wagging further, given the 2011 first release is priced at $100 a bottle. Seven hundred and forty dozen of this 90 per cent shiraz, 8 per cent pinot and 2 per cent barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc were made, so I'm figuring a fair bit of this is destined for a boat trip to Singapore.
I've yet to taste the Thousand Candles '11, but when I do, I won't be whispering about it.
What to drink
Tim White
De Bortoli Estate Grown Syrah 2010 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
Stemmy, sappy smelling and with souk-type spiciness. Boysenberry fruit and woodsy smells getting more apparent with air: this is a complex mix. Has excellent depth in the mouth and a lip-smacking zesty and creaminess mid-palate. The fruit builds and the tannins build the longer this sits in the glass. Needs another year or two to show its best. 92(94)/100, *9/10, $38.
YarraLoch Arneis 2010 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
This has pith and peel on the nose and retrained flintiness: mouth-watering smelling white, which it is on the tongue too (that pith and peel again) with just the right amount of chewiness and tingly, sea-salty acidity. It is finished with flinty nutty mouth-aromas. This is a serious, sapid, textured white wine. 93/100, *8/10, $27.
Shelmerdine Pinot Noir 2010 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
This pinot is super pretty smelling: there's tangy, creamy forest berry smells, a sniff of complexing sweet-smoky wood. The palate is fine and delicately favoured too, with citrus peel and more of those forest pips. The brick dusty tannins build deceptively though towards the finish – there's not a lack of "extract here". Delicious mouth-aromas of raisin sourdough to close. 93/100, *9/10, $34.
(out of/100 = empiric rating; out of/10 = hedonic, that is, how much I like it; in brackets, indicate its "at best" rating)

Here we go again. A bunch of foods have a bad rep, and then it changes that they're actually GOOD for you. You may have heard some of these before, but here are the five latest bad foods to get back on the healthy list:
1. Coffee. Too much caffeine was supposedly bad. But studies show that coffee improves memory, reaction time, mood, and general cognitive function. It also boosts your metabolism, and can protect you from Type II diabetes and Alzheimer's.
2. Whole milk. Scientists agreed that drinking it made you fat. Well, now they're saying that kids who drink SKIM milk are likely to be the chubby ones. Because skim milk somehow makes you crave junk food.
3. Salt. It used to be bad to salt your food. But the real problem isn't necessarily salt . . . it's processed foods with a high sodium content.
4. Chocolate. Candy bars are one thing, because they're filled with chemicals and preservatives. But pure chocolate is healthy for you. It helps with heart disease and lowers blood pressure.
5. Popcorn. Keep in mind that when movie popcorn is covered with butter, it can have 1,200 calories. But the kind that you air-pop at home is loaded with more anti-oxidants than fruits and vegetables. It's also a great source of fiber.

Three senators are calling for a review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) into medical credit cards and loans offered by financing companies and health care professionals. The cards and loans are used to pay for expensive medical procedures not covered by health insurance.
Some US senators worry that high interest charges from health care credit cards and loans offered by clinicians may put patients at financial risk.
In a December 19 letter to FTC chairwoman Edith Ramirez, Sen Edward J. Markey (D, Massachusetts), Sen Bernie Sanders (I, Vermont), and Sen Bill Nelson (D, Florida) stated their concerns that in offering patients medical credit cards and loans, clinicians gain financial benefits, such as being paid in full at the time of a procedure, while putting patients at financial risk from onerous interest charges if payments are not received on time (http://1.usa.gov/19N1S55).

Leandro Barbosa arrived in Toronto with the promise of a rebirth or renewal north of the border. The Brazilian Blur had contributed to contending Suns teams for seven seasons, including winning the Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2006-2007 season. However, wrist surgery limited his games played and minutes in his seventh and final season in Phoenix, and Barbosa struggled through his worst season in five years.
To the delight of Raptors fans far and wide, Barbosa was given a chance to regain his award-winning form in Toronto. Even better, the speedy guard was acquired in a trade that rid the Raptors of Hedo Turkoglu's atrocious contract.
With Barbosa looking as good as advertised and leading the Raptors through a decent pre-season, the stage was set for him to make a significant impact for the young Raptors. Unfortunately, a wrist injury sustained in the final pre-season game limited Barbosa once again.
Barbosa missed 24 games this season, but what's important is how he fared in the 58 games he did play, and whether or not he can contribute next season, should he elect to pick up his $7.6 million player option for the 2011-2012 season (I can't see why he wouldn't take that option).
While some saw Barbosa's season as a minor disappointment, it's interesting to see that he actually finished with a better scoring average than his career average. Having said that, Barbosa was nowhere near the guard who scored between 14 and 18 points off of the bench for three straight seasons in Phoenix.
If it wasn't for his wrist, he may have been.
If the pre-season was any indication, Barbosa was ready to break out again with the Raptors. And when you look at the fact that his shooting numbers were down across the board, compared to his career averages, you'd have to assume that the troubled wrist is what affected Leandro's stroke. Consider that Barbosa shot over 46 per cent for five straight seasons before his wrist troubles intervened last year.
Barbosa's biggest problem this season was his struggle with consistency. When he was on, he was a fantastic game-changer off of the bench, who sparked the young Raptors to some impressive victories, like their franchise record comeback in Detroit. But when he was off, he sometimes looked like a confused and hesitant rookie.
If it really was just the wrist that caused the problems, then one would have to hope that an off-season of rest, and possibly surgery, can cure the Blur. But if Barbosa plays for his native Brazil in this summer's 2011 FIBA Americas, and doesn't give his wrist the rest it needs, then this past season may have been his best, or simply his first and last, in Toronto.
The conundrum for Bryan Colangelo, assuming there is NBA basketball next season, is determining whether Barbosa will be healthy enough to contribute at a level that is worth $7.6 million of valuable cap space for a young team.
I know there are doubts out there, and rightfully so, but given the fact that next season would be the final year of his contract, I don't see the risk in keeping Barbosa around. If he continues to struggle, whether on the floor or with injuries, then the Raptors can walk away after next season. But if he returns to his old form, Barbosa, still only 28, could become a key part of the Raptors' future core going forward, or could become a valuable asset in a trade.
For one year and $7.6 million, I'd rather keep him around and find out which Barbosa shows up.
Scott Carefoot's take on Leandro Barbosa:
Let's face it — Barbosa could have sat out the entire season because of his wrist injury and most Raptors fans would still feel like we came out ahead because he replaced that bum, Hedo Turkoglu. When he did play, Barbosa was the quintessential NBA sixth man — inconsistent, not much help on the defensive end, but a tremendous spark off the bench at times who could score points in bunches when he was in a groove. If he returns to the Raptors next season as expected, a healed-up wrist will hopefully mean a return to his deadly three-point shooting form from the 2005-06 to 2008-09 seasons when he jacked up 4.5 treys per game and made 41 percent of them. If the Raptors get that version of Barbosa next season, it's highly unlikely they'll finish dead last in the league in three-point shooting percentage again.
That's three player evaluations down (I did Ajinca and Alabi last week) and 12 still to go as we navigate through this Raptors off-season. Next up will be the "enigma of all enigmas," so look out for a Bargnani evaluation in the next couple of days.

Get in training before you trek the Inca Trail, says expert
Travellers who are planning to trek the Inca Trail during their holidays in Peru can get themselves into shape for the challenge using a few simple techniques.
With the hike over the famous route taking in plenty of tricky terrain, travel writer Elizabeth Smith recommended that people prepare for the task in hand before they set off.
In a column for USA Today's Travel Tips section, the correspondent advised travellers to get some practice at walking with a weighted pack on their back prior to trekking the Inca Trail.
"An important part of training is to load a full day pack - or a larger pack for even greater benefit - and hike up any hill you can find," she explained.
Setting off on one or two hikes through the countryside can also be a useful warm-up for those who are set to trek the Inca Trail in the coming months, Ms Smith added.
The Adventure Company's Classic Peru trip gives travellers the chance to trek the Inca Trail and visit the Colca Canyon, Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our Machu Picchu tours or our holidays in Peru page
Why The Adventure Company?

You can access Spotlight from its menu bar icon or in any Finder window.
Spotlight starts finding files when you begin typing in the Spotlight search field. It will display applications, files, and folders whose names match your search criteria, as well as files that contain your criteria within them, such as in text documents, applications, emails, calendars, and more. For example, if you type "itunes", Spotlight will locate the iTunes application, as well as folders, System Preferences, and web searches that contain the text "itunes" or media files in them.
Click the Spotlight icon in the upper-right corner of your screen (or press Command-Space bar) and type what you're looking for in the resulting field.
The moment you start typing, Spotlight begins to show you what it has found, organizing your results by category (including Applications, Documents, Images, and PDF Documents). The more you type, the more refined your results will be.
Tip: You can use the Spotlight pane of System Preferences to arrange the order of these categories and specify categories which will appear. Choose "Spotlight Preferences..." below the search results.
If there are a lot of results, Spotlight won't display everything in the menu or window. If you want to see everything, choose "Show All in Finder" to open a Finder window that shows all results.
To preview an item in the Spotlight results list, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys, a two-finger trackpad swipe, or move the pointer to scroll through the results. A preview appears for each item as it is highlighted. To open an item in the results list, just click it if you're viewing the Spotlight menu, or double-click the item if you're looking at results in the Finder.
You can also type your search criteria in the search field of any Finder, System Preferences, or application window that supports it. For example, you can type ".jpg" if you want to find all JPEG images on your Mac, or type a friend's name and a couple keywords to locate a particular email from your friend about something.
When searching from within the Finder window, you can change where Spotlight searches by clicking This Mac to search everywhere on your Mac or your current folder location (the search example below shows Documents as the current folder location).
Also, you can click the Add (+) button located on the right side of the search window below the search field to narrow down search results. For example, choose Contents for your search to include the contents of the files, or choose Name to have your search apply only to the name of your files.
To make more choices available in the search criteria pop-up menu, choose Other and select the checkbox for each attribute you want to add or use the search field to quickly locate an attribute. For example, to be able to search copyright information, select the Copyright checkbox in the list of attributes and click OK. Add or remove search criteria as needed by clicking Add (+) or Delete (–).
Other things you can do with Spotlight
- You can use Spotlight like a calculator—simply type a mathematical expression in the search field.
- Look up definitions: Type a word or phrase in the search field, then click the "Look Up" (or "Definition" in Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier) result to see the definition in Dictionary.
Tip: If you hover the cursor over a Look Up result, a definition pops out to the left:
Advanced information
If you want to use Spotlight in Terminal scripts, use the mdfind command.
If you want to use Terminal to manage metadata stores used by Spotlight, use the mdutil command.

Yesterday I had yet another client conversation – this time with a mid-size municipality in the north of Europe – on the topic of the economic value generated through open data. The problem we discussed is the same I highlighted in a post last year: nobody argues the potential long term value of open data but it may be difficult to maintain a momentum (and to spend time, money and management bandwidth) on something that will come to fruition in the more distant future, while more urgent problems need to be solved now, under growing budget constraints.
Faith is not enough, nor are the many examples that open data evangelists keep sharing to demonstrate value. Open data must help solve today's problems too, in order to gain the credibility and the support required to realize future economic value.
While many agree that open data can contribute to shorter term goals, such as improving inter-agency transparency and data exchange or engaging citizens on solving concrete problems, making this happen in a more systematic way requires a change of emphasis and a change of leadership.
Emphasis must be on directing efforts – be they idea collections, citizen-.developed dashboards or mobile apps – onto specific, concrete problems that government organizations need to solve. One might argue that this is not dissimilar from having citizens offer perspectives on how they see existing issues and related solutions. But there is an important difference: what usually happens is that citizens and other stakeholders are free to use whichever data they want to use. The required change is to entice them to help governments solve problems the way governments see them. In other terms, whereas citizens would clearly remain free to come up with whichever use of any open data they deem important, they should get incentives, awards, prizes only for those uses that meet clear government requirements. Citizens would be at the service of government rather than the other way around. For those who might be worried that this advocates for an unacceptable change of responsibility and that governments are at the service of citizens and not the other way around, what I mean is that citizens should help governments serve them.
Leadership for open data initiatives should move from people dealing with communication, civic engagement and the likes, to people who are responsible for government performances and budgets. In our Open Government Maturity Model (client privileges required) published a few years ago we said that a symptom of maturity for open government is when its responsibility stays with the Chief Financial Officer rather than the Chief Information Officer or Public Information Office. Open data must become a tool to address resource and service problems, before (or alongside) been seen as a tool for transparency and economic value creation.
It is quite remarkable how almost all my inquiries on this topic are with clients who have almost come to the same conclusion, but they are often worried to make this shift as they believe they would incur political opposition by those who are firm believers of the purity of letting citizen do whatever they like with open data. These two views are not antithetic, but it is clearly an area where open data pundits should stop banging the drum of long-term value and start rolling their sleeves to sell the shorter-term value from a government perspective.

As the head of the Warwick Sewer Authority, Janine Burke has quite a to-do list.
There's the sewer expansion into neighborhoods north of Conimicut Point to curb pollution into Narragansett Bay. There's the levee at the treatment plant that needs fortifying after being breached during the 2010 floods. And there's the mandate for the plant to reduce how much phosphorous it discharges into the Bay.
So Burke was quick to join Sen. Jack Reed on Friday in calling for level — not reduced — federal funding for clean water projects. That money supports low-interest loan programs managed by the Rhode Island Clean Water Finance Agency.
"This is all we have," said Burke, noting that other federal programs that once provided money for clean water infrastructure have long since fallen by the wayside. "Over the life of the loan, with the interest you save, it ends up being like a 50 percent grant."
Burke joined Reed at a news conference at the Narragansett Bay Commission's Fields Point headquarters, where the senator said he is fighting for $2.36 billion for state revolving funds next year. Reed, as chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on interior and environment, included that amount on the chairman's proposed budget, which was released Thursday.
The Republican-controlled House has proposed reducing funding to $1.8 billion, a $600 million cut that would reportedly shrink revolving loan funds by an estimated 60 percent to 80 percent. President Obama has included $1.9 billion in his budget, a $460 million cut.
"The federal government needs to be a reliable partner when it comes to maintaining healthy, safe water in our communities. My bill would help put Rhode Islanders to work modernizing our water infrastructure, reducing pollution, and protecting public health," Reed said in a statement. "The House's proposed cuts to these clean water and drinking water projects are shortsighted and would simply pass the buck to local governments and force them to raise utility fees and taxes in order to close the funding gap."
Reed said his bill would provide Rhode Island $9.5 million for a wastewater revolving loan fund and $8.9 million for a drinking water revolving fund.
William Sequino, the new executive director of the Clean Water Finance Agency, said the state expects this year to receive $8.9 million for wastewater this year and $8.4 million for drinking water.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to meeting demand, Sequino said. Currently, the state Department of Environmental Management has $1.8 billion in projects included on its priority list for wastewater projects and $267 million for drinking water projects.
He noted that the AAA-rated revolving funds allow the agency to use payments of principal and interest to make additional loans. With matching funds from the state, every dollar from the federal government leverages 2.5 times that amount.
"A cut to the program wouldn't be very good," Sequino said.
