Views from the Steelers Press Box
October 19, 6:28 AMPittsburgh Sports Examiner Matt Pawlikowski http://www.examiner.com/x-2703-Pitts...lers-Press-Box PITTSBURGH- This is the fifth edition of the Steelers game day inslghts provided by the contingent of Pittsburgh Examiner writers (Matt Pawlikowski, Shawn McCullough, Steve Flinn and Chris Adamski) who are live from the Heinz Field Press box each and every home Steeler game. Look for our comments on who we think are the offensive defensive and newcomer MVP's and plays of the game throughout the season. SHAWN McCULLOUGH Offensive player of the game: Has to be Ben Roethlisberger! He did throw one interception and said after the game that it really bothers him, but this guy has turned into an elite quarterback in the NFL. He is hands down making much better decisions this year and he has so many weapons around him now that the sky is the limit for the pass offense.. Now the running game is another story.. Defensive player of the game: Troy Polamalu.. Not only did he have an interception, but his presence back on the field makes the defense play much better, even if he isn't in on a play. The dynamics of the defense and how the opposing offense calls their plays are drastically different from when Troy is on the field as opposed to when he was not playing because of his knee injury. Play of the game: The Steelers second touchdown, Ben to Hines for 52 yards, that put the Steelers up 14-0 in the second quarter. At that point, they took control of the game.. Even though Josh Cribbs came right back on the ensuing kickoff and took it 98 yards for a touchdown, the second Steelers touchdown still changed to game in favor of the Steelers. MATT PAWLIKOWSKI Offensive player of the game: Hines Ward Ben Roethliseger is the consensus pick here and with good reason. As the field general, his skills on Sunday were the third most prolific in Steeler history. But instead of choosing Big Ben, I'm going with Hines Ward. Now in his 13th year in the league, Ward is like a fine wine and seems to get better with age. Ward had eight catches for 159 yards in the game. He also had a 52 yard touchdown catch where one had to do a double take because of his speed. Defensive player of the game Lawrence Timmons had two sacks and Troy Polamalu provided the spark. But in the words of Timmons, you have to go with the defensive line, with Brett Keisel winning out on the award. Not only did he have a fumble recovery, but Keisel also tied for the team lead in tackles with six. Play of the game They say this is a defining moment of the ballgame, one that is momentum swinger. Against the Browns it was Troy Polamalu's interception on a Derek Anderson pass drive inside the redzone seemed to fire up not only the defensive unit, but also the offense. The Browns had a second and 10 from the Steelers 12 yard line when Polamalu read Anderson and returned the ball five yards. The very next series, Roethlisberger drove the team down the field and connected with Heath Miller out of the shotgun for an eight yard touchdown. STEVE FLINN Offensive player of the game : Ben Roethlisberger. He's the second leading passer in the NFL right now and his game Sunday was the third best in Steelers history. Defensive player of the game: Troy polamalu. Why? Its good to see him back on the field again finally. Rookie: mike wallace. He continues to shine Play of the game: Ben taking a knee, becase the game was over at that point. |

Audience Reviews
One does not go into a B-movie expecting to see anything in the line of quality work. One goes into a B-movie expecting comedic values from poor execution, this mostly disappoints and not in a "so bad it's good" way. Super Shark is about a giant prehistoric shark causing havoc on a nameless town. I'm not kidding when I say that more than half of this film is filler. It started when we're first introduced to our three main characters who are lifeguard and two of the female lifeguards like the same guy. If you're wondering what this to do with the plot i'll tell you. ABSOLUTELY GOT-DAM NOTHING. All those three characters die in the movie and added nothing to it. Though one scene involving the two female lifeguards was funny when one of them shouted "I wish I would die" and then the shark comes out of nowhere and eats both of them. The other plot-line is about a scientist trying to kill the prehistoric sharks. I found it hilarious how she convince and oil tycoon that there's chemical in the water by taking a lemon and squishing lemon juice into it in front of him. The ironic part is that he bought it and it leads to even more filler. It has a bikini contest which serves no purpose with the most obnoxious host who unfortunately doesn't get eaten. Moments like these serve nothing to move the plot forward, than the filmmakers had the nerve to insert a photo shoot scene of the winners. In that photo shoot scene, a woman defends herself momentarily with a beach umbrella and Super Shark has trouble killing her, though he didn't have problems sinking an entire oil tanker and an taking down an airplane. Which leaves nothing but the climax to talk about, trust me the non shark scenes are nothing worth writing about. The climax involves Super Shark going up against a walking tank, I was actually looking forward this. It's not often you a walking tank fighting against a giant shark, but it disappoints. After a hilariously bad animated battle accompany by cheesy CGI, our Super Shark defeats the walking tank by simply tipping it over by hitting gently with his nose. Now that part of the climax did make me laugh and the scenes involving the shark are entertaining and should make you laugh at least once. Skip the boring humans section, they're terrible actors and aren't interesting. Super Shark has some funny moments, but the humans take up around 80% of screen time and it's not worth it. Just skip to the shark scenes for some laughs if you want, but for everybody look elsewhere for your entertainment.

This fall, 14 Chinese students arrived on the Millsaps College campus, having left their homes, family and friends for an education in the United States. Ten students are undergraduates and four are studying in the Else School of Management, on track to receive graduate degrees in accounting.
The majority of students come from Wuhan and Chengdu, areas in the central part of the country; the rest hail from Beijing, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
How did these students from far-reaching parts of China come to Millsaps? Three years ago Millsaps College faculty and administrators took a recruiting trip to Wuhan, making valuable personal contacts along the way. Some of these contacts influenced Chinese students to look into what Millsaps had to offer. International students already at Millsaps recommended the school to friends. Some students even found the school online as part of a search they conducted themselves.
The fourteen students work closely with Dr. Ming Tsui, associate professor of Sociology. With research interests in areas of marriage and family, education, gender and employment in Chinese culture, Tsui is a logical guide during their experience in Mississippi.
Tsui acts as both a teacher and a mentor, often finding students both in her Core 1 and sociology classes and in her office asking for advice. She considers it her job to "teach them about the American education system, daily life from food to illness to making doctor's appointments and how to interact with professors and American students."
Most undergraduate students from China come to Millsaps to study computer science, math, accounting, business, physics and engineering. Schoolwork is an overwhelming part of their stay in America, and "the majority of Chinese students largely interact among themselves and focus on their school work with little involvement with college social life," observes Tsui. The 14 Chinese students on campus contribute to an increasingly internationalized student body, though many maintain strong ties with family and friends back home. They find keeping in touch easy via the internet.
While there is a notable feeling of camaraderie among Chinese students, at least one considers himself "fully integrated into Millsaps culture," Tsui adds. All of the undergraduate students plan to complete all four years at Millsaps, sometimes even staying during the summer. Though graduation may seem far off for some, all are weighing their options after receiving their diplomas. Some plan to stay at the Else School to receive a Master's degree, others plan to attend graduate schools in other areas and at least one student has set his sights on law school in the United States.

Egypt Weather and Climate
Egypt weather is generally hot and dry, with hardly any rain or clouds. November through to January are definitely the most comfortable months for Egypt travel. Days are commonly warm or hot, and nights are cool.
Egypt has only two seasons: a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. The only differences between the seasons are variations in daytime temperatures and changes in prevailing winds.
In Cairo, temperatures can rise as high as 95°F in summer and drop to as low as 45°F in winter. Farther south, the country becomes hotter.
Alexandria, in the north, enjoys much milder weather than the rest of the country. Here, the highest temperature throughout the year will not usually be more than the mid 80s, and the cool breezes of the Mediterranean make even the hottest days pleasant.
Winters in Aswan are pleasantly warm, but summer temperatures can reach 107°F.
Tip from INFOHUB: Egypt's traditional season runs from late November to late February , when the Nile Valley is balmy, although Cairo can be overcast and chilly. However, at these times, particularly during the peak months of December and January, the major Nile resorts of Luxor and Aswan get unpleasantly crowded. This winter season is also the busiest period for the Sinai resorts, while Hurghada is active year round. From May to September the south and desert are ferociously hot and sightseeing is best limited to early morning or evening - though August still sees droves of backpackers From October into early November is perhaps the best time of all, with easily manageable climate and crowds.
An Egypt weather phenomenon called the khamsin brings very high temperatures out of the Sahara Desert to the coast between March and June. The dust winds form in small but vigorous low-pressure areas in the Isthmus of Suez and sweep across the northern coast of Africa. Unobstructed by geographical features, the winds reach high velocities and carry great quantities of sand and dust from the deserts. These sandstorms, often accompanied by winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, can cause temperatures to rise as much as 68° F in two hours. The winds blow intermittently and may continue for days, cause illness in people and animals, harm crops, and occasionally damage houses and infrastructure.
Tip from INFOHUB: Both decent lip balms and sunscreens are hard to find in most areas of the world, so bring enough to last you for the whole journey. Take into account that sunscreens work by penetrating the skin to create a barrier, while insect repellents work by evaporation, so you should apply the sunscreen first. Do not use old sunscreens, because sunscreens more than 2-3 years old have lost their effectiveness.
The best way to deal with Egypt weather conditions is to dress with lightweight cotton or linen garments during summers. Wool fabrics are ideal for winter and cool evenings. Do bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a sturdy hat. Drink plenty of water, too.
Sharm el-Sheikh is located on the Egyptian Red Sea coast, at the southern
tip of the Sinai Peninsula. It is known as The City of Peace referring
to the large number of international peace conferences that have been
held there. During occupation, the Israelis opened the first tourist-oriented...
Egypt Sahara
Desert travel in the Sahara is challenging but can be immensely rewarding.
This short guide to travelling in the southwest desert of Egypt assumes
that you are considering making a tour to the area. Desert travel in
Egypt is fabulous, and it is even better if you have a few basic guidelines
to help you make the most of it.

Magic men and women descended on Great Yarmouth in their hundreds yesterday, as the seaside town becomes a melting pot of magical minds for five days.
The seafront is hosting the five-day International Brotherhood of Magicians (British Ring) Convention, with more than 500 British acts converging to trade secrets, discuss magical developments and put on two shows for the public. They will be filling the Britannia Pier, the Marina Centre and Hollywood Cinema.
John Pye is the international president of the brotherhood and only the fourth Briton to hold the post. Mr Pye said: "The Marina Centre has been done up fantastically for us. I have been all round the world for these shows, I'll tell you how Yarmouth compares at the end, but on the surface it looks fine.
"Last time we came (in 1991) it was very hard work, but the town has greatly improved since then."
Councillor Michael Jeal, cabinet member for tourism, said: "This is excellent, it means the summer season is extended a little bit, it helps hotels and brings a bit more business. It puts us on the map as well. I am confident we can host even bigger events."
The public are invited to two shows; puppet Sooty and his children's Magic Show is at 10.30am on Saturday and Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee headline a Gala of Magic at 8pm that evening, both at The Britannia Pier Theatre.
See www.edp24.co.uk for video and more pictures from the opening event.

I'd like to nominate the EN mod as a new brotherhood member...they make many of my comments disappear or never appear on here....

25 Best South Florida Rappers of All Time: From 10 to 6
9. Vanilla Ice
Hometown: Fort Lauderdale/West Palm Beach
Style: Bowie-sampling, ICP lovin' breakdance-friendly tunes
Mr. Robert Matthew Van Winkle definitely pays homage to the 305 and 954 in "Ice Ice Baby" with that spiffy Hurricanes pullover and a solid singalong line about A1A and this gem: "Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it/My town, that created all the bass sound."
Rob set up a recording studio in Miami in the mid-'90s and opened an extreme sport store in town around the same time. Nowadays he's building homes in West Palm with The Vanilla Ice Project on the DIY Network, and appearing in hilarious roles, like playing himself in Adam Sandler's That's My Boy. You can pooh-pooh Vanilla Ice all you want as a corny white-dude rapper, but you know every freakin' word to "Ice, Ice Baby" and you love it.
8. DJ Uncle Al
Hometown: Miami
Style: Peace-making Miami bass
Though Uncle Al lost his life to gun violence, his "peace in the hood" motto remains a force in youth gang violence prevention programs across the country. Liberty City even hosts an annual Peace In Da Hood festival in honor of the Miami bass pioneer. And any Miamian knows it's the point of no return when "It's Timmmmeeee, bass is gonna blow your mind" comes on at a party. Rest in peace, Uncle Al.

This Lap Book is made with a Basic Fold (Shutter Fold), and then cut into the shape of stone tablets. The directions recommend sponge painting the Lap Book, using a mix of gray and brown, to resemble stone, but we didn't have either of those colors, and our attempt to mix white and black to make gray was a complete failure, since our black paint has changed colors?? Oh well... Rascal resorted to just coloring the cover, which doesn't look as neat, but works... He then used cut out letters to spell "The Ten Commandments" on his cover.
Next we made 10 small "Hamburger Folds" from gray card stock that was 4"x3." Rascal cut them to resemble tablets as well, and glued them into his Lap Book.
- I am the Lord, thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.
- Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
- Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day.
- Honor thy father and thy mother.
- Thou shalt not kill.
- Thou shalt not commit adultery.
- Thou shalt not steal
- Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.

the place im visiting is completely rural, farms everywhere and cow pastures galore.
what do you think my chances are of finding some nice shrooms? I remember seeing mycelium growth on cow shit at a younger age up there so i am kind of optimistic.
any suggestions/input/experience? if anyone from pennsylvania has anything to say, I would really appreciate it. also, if there are strains that are most commonly found in Pennsylvania, let me know
i still want to be careful though. are there any mushroom identification books anyone would recommend i buy from a bookstore like Barnes and Nobles or Waldenbooks?

Panaeolus subbalteatus arent very potent, there were some growing in my front yard, I ate 2g of them with barley noticeable effetcs
That's fuxed up, I thought they's be really potent like most Pans. You probs ate it's barely active twin.
Tdubbz34, use this guide:
With this shroom even if you found it's one really similar look alike and ate it, you'd be fine. Maybe some discomfort from digesting the mushrooms tissue. Also it's a really common mushie.
As a precaution or whatever go to http://www.shroomery...ist.php/Board/3 and post pics and let the real pro hunters and mycologists to identify for you.

Welcome back from the holidays everyone. Hope you had a chance to make it to one of Disney's wonderful theme parks or watch your favorite Disney holiday movie (Belle's Enchanted Christmas, right?) with someone you love. While you were enjoying yourself, over 80,000 Disney Cast Members were working to make your holiday vacation as pleasant as could be. Some even volunteer their time to sing in the Candlelight Processional.
So this week we're going to take a look at another kind of Gossip, that of the Disney Cast Member journal. Sacred Cows writes one such journal and just posted a look at what it is actually like to sing as part of the cast member choir at Candlelight.
Cast members usually perform in the green robes and tree formation. This is called being "in the tree". The tree has a maximum capacity of 80 people. While all choir members prefer to be in the tree, most would like to sing in the show in any role. After all, we spent weeks learning the parts. If the tree is full, a cast member can sometimes still perform in a show if there are open positions in the school choir. In that case s/he will wear the white and gold robes and march on stage with the teenagers. If you see men in women mixed in with the teenagers, these are cast choir members.Nothing earth shattering is revealed, but if you read the post "now you know" as they say. Read more of the blog and you'll see Sacred Cow's reviews of all the celebrity hosts they performed with too. That's at least a little juicy.
In the cast area there is a table setup where you check in. If you are scheduled to perform your name is checked off as present. If you are not scheduled you are considered "on standby". After about 15 minutes, anyone that has not checked in runs the risk that their position in the tree will be given to someone on standby. If you are on standby and the tree is full, and there are no positions in the school choir, you cannot perform in the show(s). The goal is to create a complete tree. That is what gives us the most voices and full sound. We can perform with a much smaller tree and the audience would not be able to visually tell, and this does happen. I was in one tree once that was shy 20 people.

56% of Internet Users Check Their Own Digital Footprints
7. October 2013
For more and more people one's own reputation on the net is becoming essential. Negative information about themselves and their own names can quickly affect both professional and private life. Therefore, it is important to know what is published on the net about one's own name. The first impression usually counts. In order to protect one's own reputation it should be regularly checked what – e.g. potentially harmful – information about one's own name is available on the net.
According to the latest study conducted by the Pew Research Centers, 56% of Internet users have already searched for themselves online: they regularly enter their names into search engines such as Yasni or Google to get an overview of their digital footprints.
In 2001 only 22% of web users said they paid attention to their own reputation on the net. At that time, probably most of them searched for their own name for the sake of curiosity or vanity. It has now changed significantly, because today it is rather careless or naive to completely neglect one's own digital footprints.
But is it really convincing that 44% of Internet users have never searched for their own name? Maybe it's just a little misunderstanding.

Another review stated "...his performance was flawless..." and "Ethan's fingers seemed to fly across the piano's keyboard and the next moment after each number he got up to speak to his audience...

After a few minutes on stage, I didn't think of him as a kid but a very short adult. His adult body language is uncanny....

The glucose tolerance test, also known as the oral glucose tolerance test, measures your body's response to sugar (glucose). The glucose tolerance test can be used to screen for type 2 diabetes. More commonly, a modified version of the glucose tolerance test is used to diagnose gestational diabetes — a type of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy.
The glucose tolerance test identifies abnormalities in the way your body handles glucose after a meal — often before your fasting blood glucose level becomes abnormal.
It's important to eat and drink normally in the days leading up to the glucose tolerance test. Let your doctor know if you're ill or taking any medications, as these factors can affect the results of your test. For eight hours before the test, however, you won't be able to eat or drink anything. You might want to fast overnight and schedule the test for early the following morning.
The glucose tolerance test is done in several steps. When you arrive at your doctor's office or lab, a member of your health care team will take a sample of blood by pricking your fingertip or inserting a needle into a vein in your arm. This blood sample will be used to measure your fasting blood glucose level.
If you're being tested for type 2 diabetes:
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends performing a one-hour blood glucose test first to screen for gestational diabetes in low-risk patients. If your doctor determines you're at risk or you have a suspicious value on the one-hour test, you may take the longer blood glucose test. For this test:
After drinking the glucose solution, you'll likely need to remain in the doctor's office or lab while you're waiting for your blood glucose level to be tested. After the glucose tolerance test, you can return to your usual activities immediately.
Results of the glucose tolerance test are given in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
If you're being tested for type 2 diabetes, two hours after drinking the glucose solution:
If the results of your glucose tolerance test indicate type 2 diabetes, your doctor may repeat the test on another day or use another blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Various factors can affect the accuracy of the glucose tolerance test, including illness, activity level and certain medications.
If you're being tested for gestational diabetes, your doctor will consider the results of each blood glucose test. If two or more of the tests are higher than normal, you'll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
If you're diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you can prevent complications by carefully managing your blood glucose level throughout the rest of your pregnancy.

Thank you for these great ideas. Just would question the benefit of recorded video of a live classroom lecture. Probably we have all experienced the zombie effect of passive screen watching or low-challenge clicking tasks.
(this is a continuation from yesterday's article about barriers to using social media in education)
The first step towards applying social media into education starts with empowering teachers by giving them freedom to use social media to engage with students and giving them the freedom to come-up with innovative ways of teaching using technology.
On the contrary, let's talk about few practical ways on how many educators apply social media to flip the conventional teaching model and make classroom & home work experience meaningful to for the students.
The average teacher impacts about 3,000 students in his or her lifetime. Imagine what could happen when you inspire 3,000 individuals or perhaps 300,000 students. How? With Youtube!
Ask your students what they would prefer – Lectures of their teachers teaching them in the real classroom, or Videos of the same lectures on their computers, Macs, iPads or Smartphone devices. Like it or not – students would prefer their teachers more in a video than in person. Because they have better control on their lecture (and the teacher) when it's a video. They can't rewind a teacher 10 times in the classroom, they can't pause the lecture in a real classroom to get a cup of coffee. It's embarrassing for a student to interrupt a teacher in a real class and ask to repeat because he/she didn't understand.
This brings us to the most fundamental problems with the conventional way of teaching – there is a 'limit' to the number of times a student can make a teacher repeat the lecture. Because of which – at the end of term, there is a half baked student with low grades advancing to the next level, in spite the intent to learn and master the topic.
While watching a teacher give lecture in a video on the other hand, student wouldn't need to pretend that they have understood. They can go back and watch the lecture again in the comfort of their home.
If you as an institution are confident about the teaching skills of your teachers, you should record the lectures of your teachers and share it with the world with the help of Youtube.
…I give you a lecture [on cycling] ahead of time, and I give you a bicycle for two weeks, and then I come back after two weeks, and I say "Well, you're having trouble taking left turns and you can't quite stop. You're an 80% bicyclist." So I put a 'C' stamp on your forehead, and then I say, 'Here's a unicycle.'"
– Salman Khan, Khan Academy
You can sign up for YouTube for Schools to bring the power of video to your classrooms for free. It lets your students access thousands of free high quality educational videos on YouTube in a controlled environment.
When people are accountable for their actions, they are more likely to behave well and treat each other with respect.
Facebook is based on real names and authentic identities That's the reason why Facebook is not only the most popular but also the safest social network for young students. It requires that its registered users represent who they are in the real world. It's the most basic safety tool of Facebook. On Facebook, the connections are real and authentic. If anyone discovers a user posing as someone else, they can report it to Facebook.
There are three major types of accounts on Facebook: pages, groups, and profiles. Profiles are designed for individuals, so we recommend that organizations use either pages or groups to maintain a Facebook presence.
Facebook: Julie Goler, an educator at Beverly Hills High School, uses Facebook to host discussions among her sophomore honors English students. By creating online place for students to ask questions, both of her and of their fellow classmates. And since most of her high schoolers are already on Facebook, it's easy for them to weigh in with tech tips, questions about the homework or suggestions on tackling a paper. The result is a discussion that Goler can moderate.
Twitter helps teachers and students to create their own learning network. It gives them the opportunity to find and connect with the lives of people around the world who can help them take their learning & teaching experience to the next level.
The biggest challenge for anyone who is just getting started with Twitter is how to filter out the information that's important from million of tweets out there. The best way to do this is by doing educational hashtag searches in applications such as Tweetdeck or HootSuit. By using hashtags, you can keep up with what elementry school teachers are talking about. For example, you can search for #elemchat if you're an elementary school teacher, you can search for hashtags such as #edtech for education technology, #edchat for general education related discussions on Twitter.
When kids are engaged, they learn better. That's why educators are using Instagram to share information and connect with their students, parents and other educators. Teachers can use Instagram to creatively announce homework assignments, share classroom experiences with the help of pictures.
Lisa Highfill uses Instagram in her classroom to engage with students. During everyday classwork, class projects and field trips, Lisa's students click pictures of what they're doing and describe in 140 characters. This gives them a chance to practise collaboration, critical thinking with a real world audience. Lisa's students are proving that all the world is a learning canvas and we're glad to be player in it.
Like Lisa, you can also use Instagram in your classroom to:
Any school with computers and internet connection can use Khan Academy to provide world class education to their students for free. It allows students to work at their own pace and free the teacher up to spend their time with students or individual groups of students who're facing difficulty in understanding in particular areas. Teachers can use the time saved to invest in organizing practical activities in which students can apply the theoretical knowledge learned from the video lectures to their real life.
While some educators look at social media as an opportunity to enrich learning experiences of their students, there is also a community out there who don't consider social media as serious medium of learning. It's time now that educators should start trusting their students more and nurture a positive environment for social learning in which teachers and students can feel empowered with social media.
Thank you for these great ideas. Just would question the benefit of recorded video of a live classroom lecture. Probably we have all experienced the zombie effect of passive screen watching or low-challenge clicking tasks.
What a wonderful article and video! I think what stuck out to me the most was the comment in the video about how social media is always looked at negatively. The reality of the situation is that it is overwhelmingly popular with people of all ages. We must, as educators, take this opportunity to use it for learning. Students learn more and are more engaged when they like what you are doing in the classroom. Why not use social media to engage students? All technologies can have negatives associated with them, and this is why we must help students better understand the positive things they can be used for. I am studying Elementary Education, but if I ever teach sixth grade I plan to create a Twitter account for my classes in order to keep my students connected to me and each other. Twitter would probably be insufficient for elementary students, but things such as twitter inspired bulletin boards where student write and "paste" notes of their thoughts and feeling on the board can be used in the place of Twitter.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful article.

We often get asked about what we are working on. While you can be sure we are always working, and that our work probably involves some version of PocketBible, we understand you may be interested in a more detailed explanation of what is going on behind the scenes. It is in that spirit that we are going to try something new with an occasional post on what's in the pipeline for apps and books.
You'll notice we don't talk about release dates. We've been in this business for a long time and have learned that our best-laid plans often go awry. In fact, in the software business, that's the rule rather than the exception. So we don't spit into that wind nor tilt at those windmills. We're pursuing the goals you see below at our best pace and will release new books and updates to our apps as soon as they're ready.
- PocketBible for Android – Version 1.4.0 with support for the Advanced Feature Set was released 2/5/15.
- PocketBible 3.1 for iOS – version 3.1.0 was uploaded to the App Store on 3/28/14. The program seems to be working well under iOS 8, so there wasn't an update specific to iOS 8. We'll be taking another look at PocketBible for iOS soon.
- PocketBible for Mac OS X – Version 1.1.0 with support for the new Advanced Feature Set was released on 10/28/14.
- BookBuilder for Mac OS X – Currently working on this. The features of BookBuilder, VerseLinker, and DocAnalyzer (components of BookBuilder Professional) will be integrated into one program. The basic BookBuilder and DocAnalyzer functionality is complete and we're working on pulling in VerseLinker.
- PocketBible for Windows Phone – Send us your suggestions for enhancements.
- PocketBible for Windows Store – Send us your suggestions for enhancements.
Here's what our editorial team has in the queue for you (not in any particular order):
- Additional volumes of the Ancient Christian Commentary Series (IVP)
- The Applied New Testament and Old Testament Commentary (Cook)
- Wesley Study Bible (Abingdon)
- ESV and NASB Bible text Updates
- Add Words in red to KJV text
We've been working through a process of enhancing the security of our website. There are three parts to this:
- More of the communication with our apps is now being sent through SSL connections. PocketBible for Mac OS X, for example, uses only secure connections for its Web-based traffic such as the bookstore and cloud library.
- An extended validation SSL certificate has been added to the site. This gives you a reassuring green address bar (what it looks like depends on your browser) that says "Laridian, Inc." to verify that you're really at our site and not someone else pretending to be us.
- We're currently upgrading our credit card processing to use a more up-to-date payment gateway instead of the CyberCash system that has been serving us reliably and securely since 1998. This will allow us to support CCV and AVS for added security and to do voids and refunds without actually storing your credit card number or any other personal financial information on our servers. The new gateway is in use at our main site and will roll out to on-device stores over the next couple of weeks.
Disclaimers: All this is subject to change in priority, feasibility, copyright licensing, etc. That means we reserve the right to never release these features or books. We are sharing with you the current plan which is written in sand, not stone. Also, just because something is not on this list doesn't mean we are not considering it. Finally, we are open to your requests, suggestions and comments!

If we are to believe Tiger Woods, it's good to be playing well by the time you drive Magnolia Lane early in Tournament week and get ready to play the Masters.
"It's about building momentum and getting better and trying to time it so that you're playing at a high level when you get to Augusta," Woods said.
Woods won two weeks ago at Bay Hill and did so in dominating style – by five shots and by leading the field in birdies, greens in regulation and strokes gained putting.
You'd have to say that Woods has followed his own recipe, because the four-time Masters champion is clearly playing at a high level with the Tournament only days away. And as you may have guessed, Woods isn't alone, not by a long shot. There is a lengthy list of players who've come to the Masters carrying buffed-out games with them.
Eight of the top-20 players already have won this year.
So if the seventh-ranked Woods is indeed playing well, he's got company.
Perhaps foremost among them is second-ranked Rory McIlroy, the most consistent player of late, with top fives – including a victory at the Honda Classic – in all five of his worldwide starts this year, and top fives in 12 of his last 13 events.
McIlroy said he emphasizes the mental side of his game.
"I feel like I've always been a pretty confident guy," he said. "But I think I've got a lot more belief in myself now when I'm going down the stretch. I definitely don't doubt myself as much as I used to."
Then there is Hunter Mahan. The only two-time winner on the PGA Tour this year rose to No. 4 in the Offical World Golf Ranking after he won on Sunday at Houston. Mahan now owns five top 11s in nine starts this year and at Houston tied for first in greens in regulation, a quality of game that is sure to help him at Augusta National if he can keep it going with his irons.
Mahan, who tied for sixth at Torrey Pines, won the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship when he defeated McIlroy in the final. Mahan's stats show he is second in total driving and fourth in driving accuracy.
You simply can't ignore Luke Donald, the top-ranked player the world, who won the Transitions with a fourth-round 66 and a 13-under total of 271. Donald isn't known for his distance off the tee (he ranks 178th), but he's first in strokes gained putting and 10th in scoring.
Phil Mickelson is always a threat at the Masters and remains one of the most dangerous players at Augusta National, where he's won three times: in 2004, 2006 and 2010. Mickelson owns a victory this year, at Pebble Beach, where he shot a closing 64 and finished at 17-under-par while facing down Woods in their final pairing.
Mickelson had a good chance to claim victory No. 2 at Riviera, but he lost in tight playoff to Bill Haas. The key to any Mickelson success always seems to rest on his putter, and Mickelson ranks third on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting.
When Justin Rose won at Doral, he moved to No. 9 in the Official World Golf Ranking and continued a strong start to his season that may have begun when he tied for fifth at the Honda. Rose's 69.26 scoring average is fourth on the PGA Tour, and like everyone else in the group of expected front-runners, he knows how to handle difficult courses.
And as the hottest players get ready to take on Augusta National, they know there are plenty of other challengers in their way ... such as Zach Johnson, Trevor Immelman and Charl Schwartzel, to name a few.
Woods said the simplest way to keep on the right track is to remain consistent.
"Fine tuning here and there, making the adjustments, that's a good sign for Augusta," he said. "I'm looking forward to my opportunities this year in the majors, starting with the Masters. There are four of them, and hopefully I can peak at the right time for all four of them."
The first test is coming right up.

You have several options for initiating such a study – through different themes of the course CSC-105: Introduction to Computer Science. Each section of the course applies fundamental principles of computing to a different real world problem. This document gives a brief overview of the themes for upcoming offerings of CSC-105. For more information, consult the Furman University Catalogue or contact the Department of Computer Science at 294-2097. FALL 2014 CSC-105-01 – Business Analytics and Data Mining (with Prof. Peggy Batchelor) – TR @ 8:30, Lab R @ 2:30 The purpose of this course is to introduce students to business analytics and data mining. Together these comprise business intelligence (BI) which refers to the use of the computer to analyze and visualize complex information for use in business planning and decision making. We will explore the analysis of new kinds of data such as social media, machine sensing and clickstream. In addition we will discuss how organizations use advanced analytics such as sentiment analysis, among other techniques to better understand their customers and products. CSC-105-02 – The Power of Words (with Dr. Tom Allen) – MWF @ 10:30 a.m., Lab Wednesday @ 2:30 The written word is humanity's first and greatest information technology. Today, however, we are flooded with an overwhelming amount of information -- including textual. Fortunately, text and other symbol systems have properties that make them ideally suited for computer processing. The course explores how humans and computers can exploit their unique talents and abilities to work together to solve a variety of problems involving text. Applications include intelligent searching, filtering structured information from unstructured text, building concordances, data compression, and cryptography. CSC-105-03 – Social Media (with Dr. Kevin Treu) – MWF @ 9:30, Lab T @ 2:30 There is almost no corner of modern society that social media has failed to reach. Tools such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and many others have re-defined and greatly transformed our idea of "place", and our very idea of social interactions. This course goes behind the scenes of social media technology to explore how they are designed and implemented, with a close study of the algorithmic processes that make them work. It additionally delves into the history of such technology, and the societal implications. SPRING 2015 CSC-105-01 – Secret Communication (with Dr. Chris Healy) – MWF @ 8:30 a.m., Lab T @ 2:30 For centuries, people have sought ways to keep their messages hidden or unreadable by eavesdroppers. We will study the various means by which many state secrets, war plans, and credit card numbers have been encrypted. Today, communication is automated by computer and information technology. To understand how secret communications work, we will delve into how information itself such as text is represented inside the computer. Then, we will discover how this digital information can be manipulated into different forms. Along the way, we will learn basic problem solving techniques on the computer. CSC-105-02 – Introduction to Computer Science through Bioinformatics (with Dr. Andrea Tartaro and Dr. Renee Chosed) – TR @ 1 p.m., Lab R @ 2:30 Can Computer Science be used to help solve complex biological problems? Absolutely! This course will introduce you to the Computer Science discipline while you use bioinformatics tools and molecular biology techniques to represent and analyze genetic data. Specifically, we will analyze the evolution of various breeds of dogs, even your dog! This is a hands-on course, with time in the biology lab and the computer lab. You will learn some fundamentals of genetics and molecular biology as well as broad topics in computer science related to solving biological problems. Students with and without experience in Biology are welcome!
