2012 will be another tough schedule for the BYU Cougars. The team will make road trips to Utah, Notre Dame, Boise State, Georgia Tech, New Mexico State and San Jose State. Not a bad slate at all.
And home games against Oregon State, Hawaii and Utah State are a good start. But BYU has three big holes in the 2012 schedule yet to be filled.
Keep in mind the schedule currently has just three easy wins on it, and it's likely the Cougars will want to add another. So one of the remaining slots will almost certainly be filled by a 1AA (or F whatever-they-call-it-now) school.
That leaves two home games. Whom else might the Cougars end up hosting at LaVell Edwards Stadium next season? Here are some ideas.

A 37-year-old Waukesha man was killed in a motorcycle crash just before 10 p.m. Thursday in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as James Springer.
Milwaukee police said Springer was traveling southbound on the Sixth Street viaduct from downtown to the near south side.
He lost control of the motorcycle on the slope and slight curve at the end of the bridge and struck the curb.
Police said speed was a factor in the crash. Springer was not wearing a helmet, the medical examiner's report said.

Initiatives' intent constructive, effect destructive
On Nov. 5, voters will consider Initiatives 173 and 177. These initiatives reflect a desire to improve public education through competition and choice in school and educational opportunities.
However, while their intent may be constructive, their effect will be destructive to public education. There is nothing written in either of these two initiatives which ensures a focus on basic education, high standards, safe schools, or parental involvement. Rather than improving public education, these initiatives would direct money away from a system which is already underfunded.
As your elected school board representative, I can assure you that any reduction in funding of public education will negatively impact our ability to deliver a basic education and will seriously jeopardize our long-term efforts at raising educational standards.
Locally elected governing boards currently provide oversight to the public education system and ensure appropriate and responsible expenditures of taxpayer money. The policies of each district reflect the values and priorities of that community as well as conform to statewide educational standards for improving student achievement.
I-173 directs taxpayer money to be used to pay for private education. I do not have any children in public schools and neither do approximately 70% of the taxpayers in this state. I strenuously object to my tax dollars being used in private institutions which are not held accountable to the taxpaying public for how funds are spent and are exempt from state educational performance standards.
I-177 establishes independent public schools (IPS). Again, there are no provisions included in this legislation to ensure accountability for how public tax dollars are spent. As in I-173, publicly elected boards are not required, open meetings are not required, and state and local education performance standards do not need to be followed. In short, there would be little public control over who was teaching or what was being taught.
I strongly urge you to vote against Initiative 173 and Initiative 177. The entire text of both initiatives is found in the Washington State Voters Pamphlet. Read them and consider your vote carefully.
Jean Fowler, Woodinville

WASHINGTON -- The polar vortex is back, sinking much of the nation down into another deep freeze. Even parts of the country not shivering from the cold are suffering from other weather woes.
Sunny California wasn't so sunny as massive rainfall gave way to mudslides. Forecasters called the storm the largest since 2010.
Still, the 12 inches of rain wasn't enough to reverse California's drought.
In Texas, drivers were caught off guard as sleet hit the area. Backups on icy highways left passengers stranded in their cars for hours.
On Interstate 45, traffic stretched on for 30 miles. One young woman said she had been stuck there for four hours.
"I've got work at three in College Station. I guess that's not happening," she said.
In Tennessee, an onslaught of snow and ice gave way to bad driving conditions, even resulting in trouble for salt trucks.
A state of emergency was declared as some 61,000 residents were left without power. On Tuesday morning, the biggest concern was ice.
"We are concerned about refreezing. Temperatures will drop down to the single digits. We won't really get relief until tomorrow afternoon," William Swann, with the Office of Emergency Management, said.
Some, like Canadian native Todd, felt right at home in the frigid conditions.
"I'm Canadian and frankly the snow plows don't even come out for a day like this," Todd said. "This is just average winter weather. It's actually quite lovely and the fact that it is easy to get around on foot is great."
In Washington, D.C., the snow was the story of the day Monday, with up to eight inches of snowfall in some areas. The wintery conditions led to the closing of the federal government for the fourth time this season.
On Tuesday, the nation's capital was plagued with record-breaking low temperatures, as was the case for much of the nation.
The Great Lakes have virtually become an ice rink. Images captured by NASA show record lows have caused the lakes to ice back up, with researchers saying Lake Superior is now 95 percent covered in ice.

Patrick Carpentier deserves a better fate than he has gotten this year.
Having lost his ride at Gillett Evernham, Carpentier is now looking at a full-time deal in the Nationwide Series next year. And that's probably what he should have done this year -- ditto for Sam Hornish Jr. and Dario Franchitti -- but that's water under the bridge at this point.
But despite the disappointment of getting cut loose when his team is finally putting it all together, Carpentier has a great attitude.
"I have a good team. They know how to turn it around and make it good for qualifying. It's been fun, it's been good. I hope it keeps going. But I'll be honest with you, with the economy, there's no hard feelings. I'm not mad. There's nothing I can do. It seems like all the teams we're talking to, there's a lot of them that aren't sure they're going to run the same amount of cars next year. It's the same everywhere."
Can you imagine Kyle Busch saying that?

Frequently Asked Questions - Meal Plans, Blue Bucks & Dining Dollars
A meal plan includes a set number of meals (block plans) or an unlimited number of meals (unlimited plans) each term. In addition, each plan includes a specified amount of Dining Dollars. Meal plan balance information is electronically loaded onto the student's Mcard. Whenever the card is used, the student's meal plan account balance is automatically debited. Learn more about Meal Plans.
Students can select a meal plan when they receive their contract. You can change your meal plan choice during the first two weeks of each term. There is no time limit to upgrade your plan—you can do that anytime during the semester.
Yes. We use per-term pricing because student dining needs and habits change over time. This allows you to choose the best possible plan for each term.
The Basic Plan; however, we advise a consultation with Financial Aid to determine the specifics for the given scholarship.
Yes. Students may change meal plans during the first two weeks of each term when they have a better sense of their dining needs and habits. Learn how.
And if a student decides to upgrade their plan, they can do that any time during the semester.
Yes. Off-campus students are welcome to buy any of the residential meals plans, or they can choose an optional meal plan.
Because our residential dining halls feature "all you care to eat" dining, when students enter the dining hall, they are charged for a full meal, so the cost of a beverage is the same as that of a four-course meal with two or three helpings. Unless you opt for an Unlimited Meal Plan, a more cost-efficient choice when making small purchases is to choose Dining Dollars or Blue Bucks at the residential cafés or Union eateries.
Unused meals and Dining Dollars transfer from fall to winter meal plans as long as a winter meal plan is retained. At the end of the winter term, unused meals and Dining Dollars are forfeited. Guest Meals and To-Go Meals expire at the end of each term.
Yes, purchases can be made with cash, Blue Bucks, and Dining Dollars.
Blue Bucks left in your account will automatically carry over from term to term. You may request that your remaining balance be credited back to your Student Account by contacting email@example.com.
Learn more about Blue Bucks and Dining Dollars.
A secure online site is used for all meal plan account management. Click the "Students and Staff Login" link at the upper-left corner of the MyPlan page. A U-M uniqname and password are required to log in. There, students can check their account balances, change meal plans, and add Blue Bucks to their account.
You can visit the MyPlan page 24/7 or visit one of our MyPlan service centers:
- Mcard Center-Central Campus, 1011 Student Activities Building, Hours: 8 AM - 5 PM, Mon-Fri, contact 734.763.4632
- Mcard Center-North Campus, Room B430, Hours: 12:30-4 PM, Mon-Fri, contact 734.763.6294
Up to ten guest logins can be added to one Blue Bucks account. You can create a guest account for family members or others by logging into your account on MyPlan and selecting "Grant Additional Access" in the left menu. Click the "Add" button under the table. Enter the email address, then select guest access options. Finally, click the "Add" button under the Actions header to save the guest email address. A confirmation email will automatically be sent to that address. Those with access are able to check balances and add Blue Bucks to the account.
You can change your MyPlan Family or Guest Account password by choosing "Change Guest Password" from the left menu.
If your friend or family member is not receiving their confirmation email from MyPlan, it may have been blocked by their spam filter. Ask them to check their junk mailbox. In the future, add firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com to the accepted list to avoid these problems.
The owner (student) of the MyPlan account can send a new password by removing your email address from the "Grant Additional Access" menu and readding it. You will receive another confirmation email with another automatically-generated password.
The Low Balance Warning is a MyPlan feature that sends an email alert when Blue Bucks and Dining Dollars are running low. To receive these alerts, click the "Low Balance Warning" link in the left menu. Choose the accounts and set minimum balances that will trigger an alert. Enter the email address or addresses to which you would like alerts sent, and click "Save". You will receive an email from MyPlan about your low balance each day until you either replenish your funds or cancel your request for notification.

Hugo?! Fine, Hugo.
Leading the pack with 11 nominations is Martin Scorsese's kids movie that's not actually for kids. I confess that I still don't get it. Technically, Hugo is a triumph (you'll notice that the vast majority of its nominations are for technical awards), and Scorsese's nod for Best Director is certainly justified. But as a movie-going experience I still think it's remarkably cold (lectures about film history don't really move me). For my money, it's still a race between the French silent film The Artist and The Descendants, starring George Clooney, who did get nominated and Shailene Woodley, who missed the cut. Which brings me to my next point:
Snubs? What snubs?
Okay, sure, Golden Globe nominee Woodley might be a tad disappointed, as might Albert Brooks (Drive), Michael Fassbender (Shame), Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin) and even Steven Spielberg, whose amazing animated The Adventures of Tintin didn't rate a Best Animated Film nod, and who wasn't on the Best Directors list, in spite of the fact that his War Horse is a Best Picture nominee. But are these omissions actually snubs? Not really.
Can we all agree that 2011 was a weird year in movies? Very few films really captivated filmgoers and the pre-Oscars awards reflect that, with statues landing in all directions. With the exception of The Artist and The Descendants, both of which are up for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, as well as acting nods, there's almost no consensus on what the best films of last year are. No consensus means no right to expect a nomination. Therefore, no snubs. But if Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia) wants to cry in her beer, I'll certainly buy a round.
Rob Kim / FilmMagic; Landov
Don't get me wrong, I love any event where Brad Pitt (Moneyball) and Clooney show up in tuxes, where Gary Oldman (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) finally gets some love, and where two incredibly talented foreign actors no one in this country had heard of until last year (A Better Life's Demian Bichir and The Artist's Jean Dujardin) also nab invitations. But this year really belongs to the actresses.
Between Meryl Streep (Iron Lady), Viola Davis (The Help), Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn), Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), and Rooney Mara (The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo) the Academy couldn't set a wrong foot if it tried.
And don't even get me started on Melissa McCarthy's nod for Bridesmaids in the Supporting Actress category! I've had my fingers crossed for that one since last May, and now I'm pretty sure they're stuck that way. Besides, if you aren't happy for Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain (The Help) or Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs), then I'm afraid you may not know what happiness is.
Marion Curtis / Startraks
Woody Allen never left. But with nominations for Midnight In Paris as Best Film, Allen as Best Director, and his script in the Best Original Screenplay category, it's certainly a good year for the guy making his 40th film. And what a beautiful, poetic film it was. If you still haven't seen it, go. If you've somehow made it this long without anyone spoiling it for you, all the better.
In fact, let the Oscar nods be your invitation to check out films you still may not have seen: Mara's incredible performance in Dragon Tattoo, Max von Sydow's gorgeous (wordless!) turn in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Oldman in the cracking British spy drama Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and of course, my strong favorite for Best Foreign Film, A Separation. Here, I'll make it even easier for you: my pick for Best Documentary is Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, and it's on demand on HBO.
And finally, Muppets!
I told you the rock ballad "Man or Muppet" by Bret McKenzie (yes, The Conchords' Bret McKenzie) was an amazing song. Now, the Academy thinks so too, since it's only one of two tunes picked for Music (Original Song) – the other from the animated film Rio. Maybe it's sad that this is the nomination that made me squeal this morning. But if it's wrong to be thrilled that the Muppets get a fifty/fifty shot at an Oscar, I don't want to be right.
The big show is February 26. If you've any ideas on who'll take home little gold men let me hear 'em!

Multiple myeloma hit me with a shriek in April of 1999 when three vertebrae collapsed and I tumbled to the floor. The pain was shattering. For several minutes I was unable to move. My wife, Elaine, forced a strong dose of pain-killing medication into me and got me to a doctor. For the next eight weeks of examinations, tests and treatment, I was in constant pain and barely able to move, relying on a clumsy walker and a shaky cane to go from home to clinic to hospital to home. My treatment, coupled with a lack of activity, worsened my physical condition. I suffered a blood clot in my left leg, the one that had served as my underpinning while spending endless hours lying on my left side in hopes of reducing the pain the medication didn't eliminate.
I realized that to cope with myeloma, I needed to focus on three specific goals:
What I learned is that physical conditioning is an area that is often overlooked by myeloma patients. Oh, sure, I had heard about the importance of exercise but when the pain was the worst and the medication made me the wooziest, exercise was the furthest thought from my mind.
As I improved, it became increasingly important to regaining my strength and mobility. I started doing the physical exercise prescribed: stretches and ultrasound therapy. However, what I discovered early on was the potential value of an aggressive approach to physical conditioning. Upon the recommendation of Elaine's brother, a noted orthopedic researcher and surgeon, I began training on a computer-based, space-age lumbar extension machine. The unit and program are called MedX and have been used in the rehabilitation community for more than 10 years. Designed by Arthur Jones, the fitness guru who invented Nautilus equipment, the MedX program is available at about 1,000 locations in the US.
Since last fall, the MedX/Exer-Med program has become the key third element of my therapy. After two dozen twice-a-week sessions, the MedX program has enabled me to reduce my pain and regain considerable mobility. In combination with once-a-month Aredia treatments, the exercise program has helped to strengthen and straighten my spine. The results have been very positive. Even more encouraging, some medical studies suggest the MedX regimen will actually help restore and re-grow bone. One research study conducted at the University of Florida using heart transplant patients suffering from osteoporosis, revealed that the MedX program restored bone mineral density and prevented trabecular bone loss. Other long-term trials are underway to determine the effectiveness of isolated lumbar extension testing not only for rehabilitation but as a method for preventing chronic lower back pain. At the rehabilitation center where I go, more than 1,000 patients with back injuries and chronic back pain have been helped over the past six years. The protocol has demonstrated results.
The MedX weight-resistant machine works by stabilizing the pelvis and isolating the spine so that the body's small, weak lumbar muscles are not allowed to work. By having the muscles in the legs and buttocks take on the load, the lumbar muscles eventually become stronger. During treatment, a person is strapped into an upright position with several pads and belts exerting pressure on the thighs and hips to prevent them from moving. It is a dynamic exercise that uses a pre-set range of motion, linked to weight resistance, time, load and endurance. I began with a limited range of motion of just 36 degrees, 30 pounds of weight, a dozen repetitions and limited endurance. It was not easy. Over time, weight and range of motion were steadily increased and endurance levels were adjusted. The goal was to strengthen my lower back muscles without further damaging the spine. That's what the MedX machine seems to do and that's how it differs from other exercise programs. My condition has improved dramatically I now train using 125 pound resistance.
The MedX program, coupled with stretching and cardiovascular exercises, has clearly helped strengthen my badly weakened back. My orthopedist agrees that my physical exercise and continuing Aredia treatments have led to "significant improvement" in my spinal condition. I am a very different person now than I was the day I started the MedX program. I slouched heavily, used a walker and could barely sit upright in a chair. After four months of MedX therapy, I am on the right track of physical conditioning and pain control. In combination with my medical treatment, I hope to continue coping with my myeloma in my fight for survival.

Women Executives Drive Successful Startups (Dow Jones Study)
Dow Jones study released today measures success of companies with more women in executive positions.
By Angie Chang (Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Women 2.0)
A study released today, "Women At The Wheel: Do Female Executives Drive Start-Up Success?", examined over 20,000 VC-backed companies and 167,556 executives, of which 11,193 were female. Results show that venture-backed startups with women in senior executive roles are more likely succeed than companies where only men are in senior executive roles.

All brand Aricept 10 mg we sell
is BRAND Aricept 10 mg. The medications CanAmerica Global sells
are listed together with their generic equivalents in each country it
is available. However there can be superficial differences in
appearance and packaging from country to country. Drugs are made
for the specific market that they will be sold in, so a pill might be
colored pink for the US, and purple for New Zealand, round in Canada,
but oval in India, a capsule in the UK but a tablet in Australia.
Sometimes they may even be sold under a different trade name.
But these are the Brand name medications, straight from the manufacturer.
You can buy with absolute confidence that the medications you buy from
us are genuine and manufactured to the same high standards as those
available at your local pharmacy.

available that contain the same dosage of Donepezil as is found in brand
Aricept 10 mg. Buying generic Aricept 10 mg is a great way to
save even more money with CanAmerica Global. Generics are often
substantially less expensive than brand name products and are required

Helping women to become better negotiators for themselves is something of a calling for MJ Tocci. A prosecutor for the Alameda County (Calif.) district attorney's office for 15 years, Tocci early on became intrigued by the way gender issues can play out in a courtroom. In 1994 she designed the nation's first training program to address gender in persuasion and advocacy for lawyers, going on to create specialized in-house training for leading firms and government agencies. Upon moving to Pittsburgh in 1996, she taught at Duquesne University's School of Law, and also founded Fulcrum Advisors, which helps organizations recruit, retain and promote talented women. Through another start-up, Trial Run, she coaches clients ranging from the U.S. Navy to international law firms on effective persuasion, negotiation and litigation skills.
Tocci is now turning her attention full-time to directing the Heinz Negotiation Academy for Women at Carnegie Mellon University, which will offer its first executive education classes in January. Along with academy co-founder Linda Babcock — a CMU professor, co-author of the ground-breaking book Women Don't Ask and creator of PROGRESS (Program for Research and Outreach on Gender Equity in Society) — Tocci will offer a by-invitation preview of the academy on July 20. (Check out photos here.) She spoke with ImaginePittsburghNow.com about her plans.
How was the idea launched? Why is a negotiation academy for women needed?
Since moving to Pittsburgh I have been teaching in women's leadership programs all over the country. There are many wonderful programs, but none look at things specifically through a negotiation lens. That's what brought me in contact with Linda Babcock and Ayana Ledford (executive director at PROGRESS). We all decided that this academy filled a critical need and it was up to us to start it.
Having adept negotiation skills is the single most important intervention to change women's progress in the workplace. Research shows that failing to negotiate your first salary – which many women don't do – means that by age 60, you've taken home $500,000 less than you might otherwise have earned.
But it's not just about asking for a raise. Negotiation is a high-level skill that you can – and should — use every day. It's about reframing your interactions and more accurately evaluating – and taking advantage of – the opportunities around you. It's about negotiating for resources to do your job to the best of your abilities and to help you be a better manager.
Explain a bit more about what the academy will offer.
When you teach women to negotiate, you're asking them to break stereotypes. There's documented backlash: when women negotiate for themselves, especially around money, they are perceived to be less likeable – by both men and other women. It's uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. We need to do it smartly and strategically. Part of that is having someone in your organization who will have your back. Women don't have as many of these as men do.
A Catalyst study found that women are over-mentored and under-sponsored. A mentor gives you advice; a sponsor exercises social capital on your behalf and says "I endorse her. I will go bat for her, and risk my reputation and social capital because I believe in her." Sponsors don't come under the Christmas tree. You have to cultivate them and ask them to do things for you; it's all a negotiation.
That's part of what we'll be teaching through the academy. Our students will be paired with an outside coach as well as someone significant in her own organization. We will work with that sponsor as well as with the student, so that she can grow her networking ties, and that the sponsor will learn alongside the student.
What's going to happen on July 20?
We are seeking participants, people who will send participants and financial sponsors for the academy, and will offer a preview of what kind of things we'll be doing. Everyone will get an exercise describing a dilemma. The faculty will lead a discussion and participants will explore it from multiple perspectives, decide what a woman would need to do to negotiate through it, and determine how she should prepare. Denise Rousseau and David Krackhardt, (professors of organizational behavior and management at CMU's Tepper School of Business) will be among the faculty weighing in. Attendees will get to be academy students for a few hours and, I hope, walk out saying, "I just learned something important today."
Who will be your students? What kind of investment of time and money is involved?
Organizations tell us there are three types of employees who need this training: the women just below C-level; women just a few years on the job who need these skills as soon as possible; and women who have been in an organization for a decade or so, and are most prone to leave when they can't – or don't – negotiate to expand their professional scope. (Many women find it easier to negotiate externally.) So it's up to each organization to make the best decision about who to send.
Optimal class size will be between 29 and 34 students, meeting two days a month (one on weekends) for five months. Tuition is $15,000, which is standard for executive education programs, although I'm working hard to get sponsorships that might offset cost for participants from nonprofits.
Any final thoughts?
Many of us think that if we just do really, really good work, it's all going to work out. People will recognize our skills and our value, and reward us with opportunities. As I tell my daughter, "Not in my lifetime, and not in yours."
I really think this is going to change the world. The Heinz Negotiation Academy for Women will be the only program of its kind in the country, and I'm thrilled that it's in Pittsburgh. CMU is an incredible school, and Pittsburgh is ready for something like this.
To learn more about the Heinz Negotiation Academy for Women, contact Rachel Koch at 412-925-6741 or email@example.com. You can also check out ImaginePittsburghNow.com's Flickr photostream from the July 20 preview below.

DELAWARE TWP. — Elizabeth Hooker, 50, of Fairless Hills, Pa., was charged on May 23 with driving while intoxicated after hitting a guide rail on Route 29 at Brookville Hollow Road.
There is a sharp curve in the highway there. Hooker told police that she had lost control of her car after swerving to avoid a deer.
The accident happened at about 1:30 a.m. Hooker was northbound and told police that she was headed to Rosemont to drop off a friend with her.
Her car was towed. She was later released to a friend. Patrolman Jason Marerro investigated.

I was even surprised to see that at least the text tool does allow tabs to be used, but I don't believe there is any place in the interface that supports tab settings, particularly not in Illustrator fashion. Basically, PS is just a powerful graphics editor with limited text functionality.

Don't understand Bash so downloaded it through Synaptic but just as the
download was being completed saw "program will be cached for install" (or
words to that effect) and now I can't find it! It would be useful (for me)
to be able to see the file directories in a 'tree' configuration, as seen in
Windows using Explorer! The original was BASH-DOC but searches reveal
Besides 'BASH-DOC' I selected 'GRUB-DOC' (as I've already had a bad
experience with Grub), and TAR-DOC (as I've downloaded Thunderbird and it
sits on my desktop with a ".TAR.GZ" extension which means absolutely nothing
to me).
The only good thing to come out of all this, is that I had to rush out and
buy another computer, one for Ubuntu and one for Windows 2000 Pro, as Grub
really screwed me.

Robocop over Rancor
Uploaded 04/15/2013
So I go to Wal-Mart today and notice a guy getting carded for beer, but not for the 6-inch knife he was purchasing.
I voiced my amazement at how weird that seems. Another guy behind me cuts in, "That's nothing... when I came here last time I was purchasing lighter fluid, a knife larger than that one, and a copy of Robocop. They bugged me for ID over the movie".
There's something wrong with a system in which people can get canned for failing to ID customers over alcohol and R-rated movies, but not stabbing weapons, maiming devices, and the method to start large fires.
You must be 18/21 to harm yourself, but the means to harm many others comes with no restrictions.

91-93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - November/December 2009
Good bright, deep red. Wild, musky red fruits and menthol on the nose, complicated by licorice, minerals and nutty oak. Sweet and silky on entry, then tight but smooth in the middle. There's a light touch here but no hardness, and lovely intensity and finishing perfume. The tannins coat the front teeth. Very youthful wine-a bit tighter than the Rocche but less clenched than the Villero.

Congratulations to the Tribune for winning the Pulitzer for local reporting. Condi Nast has an interesting perspective on the story.
Think doing Pulitzer Prize-quality work will guarantee you continued employment at a newspaper? Here's proof it won't.
Among the recipients of this year's Pulitzer for local reporting is Paul Giblin, who, together with Ryan Gabrielson, wrote a five-part series in the East Valley Tribune on Sheriff Joe Arpaio's efforts to fight illegal immigration at the expense of other areas of law enforcement.
It's ironic that a paper on life support manages to win the most coveted prize in journalism--written by a reporter who has been laid off.
It's also interesting to get some feedback on "The Guardian's" business model. I've certainly never figured out how to make money off the web. The Guardian seems like the the most promising model. It only has four or five employees and no production costs. The reporters are professionals and they aren't hobbyists. They are there to make money. I've speculated in the past that the model isn't sustainable. Here's a hint from the Guardian staff
"It shows you can still do significant work, even in the face of declining resources, if you put your mind to it," said Epler when I reached her at the Guardian. Being a victim of upheaval in the newspaper industry doesn't take away from her joy at winning, she added. "It's almost like I'm glad we're not at the Tribune anymore because we're doing our own thing and it's pretty cool. And even though we're not making any money, journalistically and professionally it's really great and satisfying."
Hmm, Professional satisfaction is wonderful, but it doesn't pay the bills.
The Guardian is probably the best example of the local, professional, web only model. I'm serious. The site is well run and professional. If the Guardian website can't generate enough revenue to support four or five professionals then there's no chance of the larger papers surviving as web only models.
I've wondered what would happen if the Tribune or Republic went web only. Could they generate enough revenue to cover the cost of the reporting? It looks like that answer is no. The Republic or Tribune will never be as efficient as the Guardian, and it looks like the Guardian isn't as profitable as the founders were hoping.
I have yet to see a website that can provide general news content and manage to break even.

Siddle was brilliant in the first Ashes Test at Nottingham but, from then on, he appeared to tire as the series went on, with Ryan Harris taking the reins as Australia's leading wicket-taker.
But newly appointed Test bowling coach McDermott says the attack will need to be firing on all cylinders if they're to steal the urn back from England this summer, and reinvigorating Siddle is one of the first items on his agenda.
QUICK SINGLE: McDermott back in the fold
After quitting his post as a national assistant in May last year, McDermott returns in a more specialised role as Test bowling coach, with incumbent Ali de Winter shifted across to oversee Australia's limited-overs bowlers.
McDermott has just over a month to work his magic before the first Test starts in Brisbane, with the 48-year-old's goal to get four-to-six quicks, including Siddle, hitting their peak at the same time.
"I would like to get him (Siddle) up just a little bit higher with his consistency," said McDermott.
"We've got to have four-to-six guys bowling well from a fast bowling point of view to bowl in conjunction with our spinners ... we've got to make sure they're all firing.
"I'd just like to talk to (Siddle) about a few things I've noticed over the last couple of months, and the same with a number of the other bowlers I've been watching on TV around the place."
Siddle took 17 wickets at 31.58 in the Ashes, the fifth best from either team for the series, and he's still ranked sixth in the world.
However, he took just one wicket in the final two Tests.
Siddle's rise to premier fast bowler a couple of years ago was heavily influenced by McDermott, and the former Australian tearaway is confident of once again making an impact.
McDermott has also been impressed with the transformation of Mitchell Johnson, and is eager to see how the left-arm quick adjusts to the red ball when he returns from Australia's one-day tour of India.
With fellow lefty Mitchell Starc, as well as James Pattinson, Pat Cummins and Jackson Bird all injured, Johnson has a big opportunity to re-establish himself in the Test team.
"He's changed his run up, he's well balanced ... he's getting through the crease and his arm is higher than what it used to be," McDermott said.
"He's bowling anywhere between 145 and 153km/h over the last couple of months ... and, if you're up around those figures and moving the ball a little bit either way, it's a handful and certainly his bouncer will be a handful as well.
"We've got some good young guys in behind the scenes, who have been on some tours of late in Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
"Obviously there's Ben Hilfenhaus who is back in the fray, fully fit."

For the seventh straight year, Andre Reed is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Reed, the Buffalo Bills' all-time greatest receiver, made the list of 15 modern-era candidates, announced Friday.
The selection meeting for the Hall's Class of 2013 will take place in New Orleans on Feb. 2, the day before the Super Bowl. A maximum of five modern-era candidates can be elected.
The modern finalists were culled from a list of 27 semifinalists, who were announced in December. Bills special teams great Steve Tasker was among the semifinalists for the sixth time in the last 10 years. He never has made the final 15.
In the selection meeting, the modern finalists are whittled down to a group of 10, then a group of six. Then a vote, up or down, is taken on each of the last six.
Reed has advanced to the final 10 each of the past three years.
Reed is joined on the list by two other receivers, Cris Carter and Tim Brown. This is Carter's sixth straight year among the final 15 and Brown's fourth straight appearance.
There are four first-time modern finalists. They are defensive linemen Michael Strahan and Warren Sapp, and offensive linemen Larry Allen and Jonathan Ogden.
The other finalists are: running back Jerome Bettis, defensive linemen Kevin Greene and Charles Haley, owners Edward DeBartolo Jr. and Art Modell, coach Bill Parcells, guard Will Shields and cornerback Aeneas Williams.
They are joined by two senior nominees: nose tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson. Senior nominees are players whose careers ended more than 25 years ago. The vote on the worthiness of the seniors is separate from that of the modern candidates.
Reed starred for the Bills from 1985 through 1999. He caught 951 passes for 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns. When he ended his career, he ranked fourth in NFL history in catches and sixth in receiving yards. He also did it in a more balanced offense than many modern-era receivers. The Bills ran the ball 51 percent of the time during Reed's career. Reed also was durable. He missed just three games in his first 10 seasons.
In 21 postseason games, Reed caught 85 passes for 1,229 yards with nine touchdowns.
A panel of 46 media people from around the country vote in the Hall of Fame's selection process.

Students at South Williamsport's PreK thru 8th grade Mountain View Christian School went on a number of field trips in May. Here is what some of them say about their experiences:
Farm Days 1866 at Troy, Bradford Co.
By KAYLA, Grade 7
My school went up to Troy for the Farmer Boy presentation they were having. We had just finished reading the book written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Well, first we saw a jersey cow and a pair of oxen. We watched them for a while and then went to this guy who told us about Almanzo (the main character in Farmer Boy) and then we saw a whole bunch of other stuff such as a really small church, the buggy house, the inn, the herb garden and a lot of other historical type stuff.
By TAYLOR, Grade 6
We went to the Troy Fairgrounds where they told us more about the book Farmer Boy, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We got to see oxen pull some logs. After that we went and sat down and our school listened to a special guest talk about the book, Farmer Boy. We read this book at school before going. Other schools were there and had done the same. Later we went to a building and got to eat some homemade ice cream. We also got to make butter, see weaving being done and see clothing from the 1800s.
By JUSTIN, Grade 3
My school went to a farmer boy field trip in Troy. My favorite part was the ice cream, maple syrup, and the blacksmith. It would be hard to be a blacksmith but it would be fun too. We milked a cow and cut wood we all had fun.
By TREY, Grade 4
We went to Farmer Boy and learned a little bit about the Civil War, how they made oxen listen, turn and do what there told. They had a museum and a lot of old buildings, including an old house and a church. It was a lot of fun.
By MACKENZIE
I like trying to make the hot pads, making homemade ice cream and making the butter.
By OLIVIA
I liked seeing the cow named Aloha.
By APRIL
I liked eating the homemade ice cream, and making the butter.
By LINCOLN
I liked seeing the cow, bulls and eating the homemade ice cream.
By DANICA
I liked seeing the cow and eating homemade ice cream.
By LUKE
I liked seeing the cow, bulls and getting a paper hat.
By GRACIE
I liked making butter and eating the ice-cream.
First Lego League Robotics
By TAYLOR, Grade 6
Recently, Blue Mountain Academy in Hamburg hosted a state-wide robotics event. Our school was one of eight that participated in a number of competitive events. When we got there and registered we received a special designed shirt. Each school had a different colored shirt. We had army green.
Next we set up our table and ate a good breakfast. Soon we got our project ready and went in another building and did interviews to present what we have learned through the year about program our robot and applying core values to a project on finding solutions for senior citizens.
Following lunch we did our challenge with the robot and a field with many missions. There were three rounds, and the total of our points was 41. We definitely learned a lot and want to participate again next year.
Outdoor School
By TREY, Grade 4
Well I am Trey, you might know me from my other newspaper articles. This year Kaytonna and I went to Outdoor School. It was at Laurel Lake camp near Punxsutawney. It was a lot of fun. I learned about parrots and wilderness survival. I want to have a parrots and also live in the wilderness.
By KAYTONNA, Grade 7
I went to Outdoor School. It was held at Laurel Lake camp near Punxsutawney. There were other kids my age from other schools in Pennsylvania. We played games outside. We got to sign up for different classes, like survival skills, small engines, parrots and birds, home nursing, cooking, sea shells, pottery and sculpturing, horses and scrapbooking, to name some.
I choose to ride horses and make my own scrapbook. I learned how to turn and move my horse, brush and clean it, and how to treat it without spooking it. My horses name was "Lady." I brought pictures from home for my scrapbook. I learned how to mount and decorate the book. Some of the other things I enjoyed were canoeing in a race, seeing the African Grey and Love bird and petting the camp rabbits.
Valley View Nursing Home
By TAYLOR, Grade 6
We went to Valley View to bring some joy. We sang to the elderly people and then we did some skits, and played bells. After that we went to see the Alzheimer people and sang for them after that we went back to the school.
By JUSTIN, Grade 3
My school went to Valley View nursing home. We did a couple skits, songs, and bells. I had lots of fun. They have a lock so they can't escape.
By MACKENZIE
I liked playing the bells for the residents.
By OLIVIA
I liked singing and playing the bells.
By APRIL
I liked singing.
By LINCOLN
I liked the baseball skit.
By DANICA
I liked looking at the fish and playing the bells.
By LUKE
I liked see the residents, singing and playing the bells.
By GRACIE
I liked giving the residents hugs.

Kirby Brawlball
this wiki
Kirby Mass Attack title screen
|Kirby Brawlball
Kirby Brawlball is a pinball sub-game in Kirby Mass Attack. It is unlocked by collecting up to 15 medals.
Like Kirby's Pinball Land and most pinball machines, the player controls two flippers which hits the ball (which happens to be Kirby) to prevent it from falling into the bottom hole, or sink. In this sub-game, the player needs to tap on the on-screen button which controls the corresponding flipper. The player could also use L and R button to control the flippers. Kine initially plugs the hole and protects Kirby from falling into it, but once he saves him once, Kine moves away and the hole becomes a danger. However, Kine can appear again if the player manages to hit all the moles on the left and right side of the board. Two Grindarrs to the left and right of Kine will also shoot Kirby back onto the pinball field should he fall near their vicinity.
In Level 1, the player needs to get Kirby into King Dedede's mouth to start a boss fight against Whispy Woods. In the next three levels though, enough stars must be collected until Dedede opens his mouth before Kirby can start the next boss fights - Lololo & Lalala in Level 2, Heavy Lobster in Level 3, and Marx in Level 4. The only way to hurt the bosses is by sending Kirby hurtling into them. Once Marx is defeated, the game is won.
The bosses retain their traditional attacks, but several of them are modified to fit a pinball game.
- Whispy's apple-dropping attacks are removed.
- Lololo & Lalala now have Blocky assisting them.
- Heavy Lobster no longer jumps around like it does in the Halberd. Its flamethrower attack is changed into shooting cannonballs which explode into flames. It is the only boss who can actively dodge Kirby (the player's attacks).
- Marx's gigantic laser and arrow attacks now point downwards, and he performs his cutter attack twice (4 waves). After he uses his black hole attack, he spits out the Kirbys pulled into the black hole. None of his other attacks are available to him.
Secret Area
If the player collects enough stars after Dedede's mouth opens, a Warp Star will appear at the top of the board. The Warp Star can then be used to warp into a secret level. In this board, the player could play a game of roulette that's shown on the top screen for a limited time. Two Waddle Doos also appear in this board where they'll shoot Beam Whips to give Kirby a boost.
Boss Rush Mode
Once Kirby defeats Marx, the game shows a tip: Press and hold Right, Select, and B on the title screen. If done correctly, the player will hear and see a cat go across the bottom of the screen. When the touch screen is tapped, Kirby will play against all four of the game's bosses. If Kirby manages to defeat all of them, the player is given a congratulations screen and is allowed to continue fighting the bosses for points until Kirby falls between the flippers and ends the game.

They have added a twist to this The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has finally released their nominees for the induction class of 2013. You will find a potpourri of choices from logical to ridiculous; as usual. They have added a twist to this year by allowing the general public to vote for your choices. If you think for one minute that your vote will count, then contact me for concert tickets to see Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Janice Joplin with Alan Freed as the host only for the price of $100 for two.
They were caught fixing the votes from their own judges because they didn't like the vote in 2007 do you think they will allow the public to control the inductees, hell no! They are only collecting names and email accounts. As it states there will be consideration for the fans vote and they will show a listing of how the fans vote; we will see. The following are the 2013 nominees:

Shooting Sunsets
By ACDSee pro photographer & guest blogger Serge Timacheff
Taking good and interesting photos of sunsets requires a little planning for your equipment, your position, and your camera settings. On my recent travels to Porec, Croatia and Venice, Italy, I had the opportunity to play with a few sunset shots.
If you have the luxury of time—meaning you can observe a sunset one evening and know that the next night you'll be able to be in the same position with similar weather patterns—you can more easily plan your shot. The sun rarely goes simply up-and-down on the horizon; typically it goes at an angle. It's a good idea to shoot a sunset with some geographical context, such as trees, water, buildings, etc. on Earth, to emphasize the sun's enormity and give it some perspective. I was close to water for both sunsets, and in each case I was able to observe the sunset one evening and then come back to that spot and shoot the next day.
Telephoto lenses are great for capturing a dramatic sunset because they collapse distance and will make the sun look much larger on the horizon. A wide-angle lens, while it may capture a beautifully colored sky, will tend to make the sun look much smaller. So if it's a big, beautiful sinking sun you want as your primary subject, telephoto is the way to go.
In the first photos, taken in Porec, Croatia on the Adriatic, I noticed just as heading to dinner that a dramatic sunset was taking place to the west. I quickly went to my hotel room and grabbed my camera and headed to a ledge where I could see the sunset framed by some trees. I set my camera on a fast shutter speed (1/1000 second) with and used my 70-200mm lens at about 90mm. The photo turned out nicely, but I realized that the clouds around the sun were making it look almost like something on a distant planet. So I took a second set of shots, with the exact same setting, but I changed lenses and shot at 500mm—an extreme telephoto shot. While I like both images, taken from the same spot with the same settings, each evokes a very different feeling.
Silhouettes of trees, landscapes, city skylines, boats, mountains, and other objects can help accentuate a sunset. While staying on Venice's Lido, which is a long peninsula with many small hotels and villas, that from the water taxi pier a lovely sunset occurred each evening over an island to the west. Just as the sun angled-down over the land, several trees were silhouetted in front of it. I got to the dock and set-up my shot early (a luxury I did not have in the photo in Croatia). When the sun was higher in the sky (as shown), I over-exposed the photo because as it sank lower on the horizon I knew the light would diminish—so I was guessing at about the right levels. I was shooting directly into the sun with a long telephoto lens (500mm), and at a fast shutter speed of 1/3200 second (the sun is very bright, even at sunset!).
You have to observe carefully and be ready to move, since the sun doesn't set directly down…it moves laterally, as well. I had to change my position on the pier a couple of times, to ensure the trees I wanted to silhouette were placed where I wanted them. Also, there were some buildings visible on the island, but they were below tree-level so in the silhouette they simply disappear. I shot in RAW+JPEG mode so that I would have plenty of tonality to crop, edit, and adjust later in ACDSee but be able to take a quick look at images in JPEG for reviewing and selecting prior to editing.

A lemon party is when a group of people get together and have an extended party. The goal of the extended lemon party is to eat as many lemons as possible with the intent on making the most sour lemon face as you can. Onlookers then take pictures, post them on FaceBook, and the picture with the most likes wins the party!
I got over 50 likes on my picture after I ate 4 whole lemons at the lemon party.

Why would anyone want to be a coach? I can't understand it for the life of me anymore.
All the positives that come with impacting the youth of America just aren't worth the headaches. By headaches I mean parents - not all, but some - and the entitled youth of this generation.
I always promised myself I'd never be one of those "when I was your age" types of people who looked back fondly on their past as if it was the golden age of infallible human beings. I know my generation had its problems. For heaven's sake, it was when I was in middle school and high school that the fascination with a Goth lifestyle came to be with the ever-infuriating words and guitar riffs from Marilyn Manson. Feel free to hold that one against my generation.
But I did come from a generation - and mind you, my diploma from Bloomsburg High School was printed in 2001 - where kids and parents didn't throw a hissy-fit every time something didn't go their way. There were plenty of players on my varsity baseball team who felt we should be playing more, me being one of them. To me, that was a message I needed to do something to get better.
Spend extra time in the hitting cage. Spend extra time taking ground balls. Utilize my time on the practice field as efficiently as possible. Did it work? No. I think I made 11 plate appearances on the varsity baseball team as a senior. Never once did my parents feel the need to approach Lanny Sheehan or Jim Dodge and complain that I wasn't being given my opportunity
This brings me to the situation Randy Boone is dealing with as head football coach at Montgomery. I couldn't help but shake my head the more and more I learned about why nearly half of his football team walked out of practice last week.
For something like that to happen, there had to be a complaint being levied against Boone that bordered on gross mistreatment. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call and was told the worst of the problems players were having is that Boone was playing favorites and that players weren't being given the opportunity to try out for positions they wanted to, along with a player being forced to do extra running as a punishment at practice.
I had to stifle a bit of laughter when I heard that.
Breaking news: this isn't midget or pee wee football or Little League Baseball anymore, folks. There's no guaranteed playing time that comes with participating in interscholastic athletics. There is a goal to win once you get to high school. Winning should not be the be-all, end-all in high school sports, but it needs to be a focus.
You have coaches who are winning and losing jobs with every win and every loss. And it is every head coach's and assistant coach's responsibility to the school and the students to put the best possible team on the field that gives them the best possible chance to win. And that includes putting players in the position they feel best optimizes their chance to win.
Boone is going to do that tonight with or without the players who decided to walk off the team, and he should be commended for that. Because for all that is being said about him, and for as much as his character is being attacked, he's unable to defend himself publicly.
He clearly has the backing of the administration at Montgomery, or else he wouldn't be coaching when the Red Raiders open their football season tonight at Cowanesque Valley with just 21 players on their roster according to maxpreps.com.
In all honesty, I shouldn't be surprised an uprising like this has happened. In fact, the only surprise should be that an uprising like this hasn't happened sooner.
We've become a society where appeasing a child's supposedly fragile psyche has become more important than teaching life lessons. The lessons that should be taught are it's OK to not be a starter in sports as long as you're working your hardest to contribute in any way imaginable.
Instead we've become a society where winning, having fun and enjoying the game isn't nearly as important as whether or not little Johnny had his ego stroked and his fragile psyche sustained. It's all a part of this new-found policy in youth sports that everyone gets a trophy regardless of if you won or lost.
The lesson we should be teaching is that winning is great, but it is also OK to lose as long as you lose with class, you've tried your hardest, you hustled and you left everything you had on the field.
But guess what, you don't even have a chance to be a winner if you're not on the field. We've lost sight of that in this society as athletes and as parents. We've become a greedy society where getting an opportunity to play and contribute just isn't good enough, we all must be the superstar. We all must be the band's front man. Nobody wants to be the bass player who gets lost in the background but still helps create a memorable sound.
Look at the teams that have success in the area, heck, look at the two teams from Montgomery that reached the state finals in the last three years. Each and every player on those teams had a defined role on that team in order to give it the best possible opportunity to go as deep in the playoffs as possible. The players harnessed those roles, made them their own, and created teams that came just one out away from winning a state title.
But we've lost sight of what's important. We've lost sight that football isn't about who scores touchdowns, who throws passes, who makes tackles and who gets interviewed after the game. Football, and any other sport, is about learning who you are as a person, enjoying the bus rides to and from games, enjoying the camaraderie that comes with spending months on end with friends and teammates to obtain a common goal.
It's clear that certain players and parents in Montgomery have lost sight of just that. And why anybody would volunteer to be a coach and potentially have to deal with that, is beyond me.

Please note that the interface for this database is under development.
Welcome to the online version of the Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database, originally released in 1998 as a set of floppy disks. We are pleased to make the database available in a much more accessible and user-friendly format, and free of charge, through the Dumbarton Oaks website. The database has two sections: the introduction which contains general information about the project, and bio- bibliographical introductions to each of the saints of the 8th–10th centuries included in the project; and the database itself which in turn is divided into three sections, the Saints' list, the Author' list, and the search citations. The Greek texts that we have been permitted to reproduce either in their entirety or in sections may be accessed through the Saints' list (entire texts) or search citations (partial texts).
This contains the list of all saints of the 8th-10th centuries from whose vitae data has been abstracted and classified. By clicking on a saint's name, you will access basic information on the saint. The continuous Greek texts of the saints' lives which we are able to disseminate electronically under copyright law may also be accessed from this location. We have received two types of copyright permission for the electronic reproduction of Greek texts. One variant permits us to reproduce the entire vita of a saint as a continuous text (accessed through the saint information page), the second permits us to reproduce the Greek text only in sections (accessed through the search citations pages). For complete lists of the vitae included in the database, and vitae whose Greek texts had to be omitted, see the Introduction.
The example of Eustratios of Agauros will be used to illustrate the various features of the biographical information pages.
E.g., 645, representing the reference number assigned to the saint and corresponding texts in the Bibliotheca Hagiographica Graeca, 5 vols., ed. F. Halkin (Brussels, 1957-84)
E.g. 791. This represents the known or approximate birth year of the saint. (NB: One must always consult the summary of the saint in the Introduction to determine whether the dates on the Saint record are exact dates or approximate dates or dates indicating only a rough estimate of one half of a century, or represent a terminus ante quem or a terminus post quem!)
E.g. 886. This represents the known or approximate death year of the saint (or a terminus ante quem or a terminus post quem).
Anonymous. This represents the name of the author if known.
E.g., 886. This represents the known or approximate earliest possible date for the composition of the vita. (NB: One must always consult the summary of the saint in the Introduction to determine whether the dates on the saint record are exact dates, approximate dates or dates indicating only a rough estimate of one half of a century, or a terminus ante quem or a terminus post quem!) Often the death date of the saint is taken by default to be the earliest possible date if there is no other chronological evidence available.
E.g. 1000. This represents the known or approximate latest possible date for the composition of the vita. Often the earliest manuscript date of the vita is taken by default to be the latest possible date if there is no other chronological evidence available.
E.g. Rural. This field can be labelled
C/ple (i.e. Constantinople) or
Unknown, as the controlling social background to the action in the vita.
Biztinianas, Agauros, Mt. Olympos, Constantinople. These represent the major geographical areas where the saint resided or visited, beginning with the place of birth. The full list of topography in an individual vita can be searched through the field, Topographical Names.
E.g. Papadopulos-Kerameus, Analekta 4 (1897) 367-400 and 5 (1898) 408-410. This field gives the edition used for entry into the database and will be the source for the page and line numbers on the key word records. Any deviation in pagination or in other parameters of citation will be noted here. Also noted here will be any works which were used to supplement or emend the text of the vita. (NB: The text in Greek files is a corrected [and sometimes supplemented] text and not a carbon copy of the printed edition. Care has been taken to mark emendations and corrections by
lege: in the Greek text files, but one must always consult the printed edition to ascertain its original orthography and punctuation which may have been tacitly corrected. The aim of the textbase is to provide a handy text that is also an improvement on the original edition.)
Clicking on this highlighted phrase will take you to the continuous Greek text of the saint's vita or synaxarion notice. (For 26 vitae the Greek versions of the continuous texts have been omitted because of our failure to obtain copyright permission for the electronic dissemination of the texts; the list of excluded texts will be found in the Introduction.)
The Authors' List is useful only for ascertaining the vitae written by an individual author. No biographical information is provided on the authors.
This is the part of the database that contains the indexed information from the saints' lives. It opens to a search screen where queries can be entered. At the right of the screen, you will find pull-down menus of the three types of classification, categories, sub-categories and words. Perusal of these menus is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the contents and system of classification of the database. By highlighting a specific category, you will automatically be provided with a list of subcategories. By choosing a subcategory you will also be automatically provided with a list of associated words. For example, clicking on
apiculture (in the menu to the right of
categories) will lead you to its three sub-categories,
apiculture, place of,
apiculture, products of, and
apiculture, techniques of. Clicking on
apiculture, place of will in turn lead you to three
word selections,
beehive and
beehive pots. Should you wish to search for
beehive, click on the word and it will automatically be entered in the
words box on the lefthand side of the screen. (Alternatively you may type
beehive in the appropriate box.) To execute a search for this word in all the vitae, click on the Search button, making sure that the box reading
Show saints is empty (click on it to remove the checkmark). About twenty cards will then appear on the screen. Each card will provide the following information:
beehiveis found
Notesfield to provide some context
To return to the search screen, hit the
back button on the toolbar. Clear the search screen by pressing the
Clear button at the bottom of the screen.
If you want to search for a word in a single vita, for example, all instances of
beehive in the vita of St. Philaretos the Merciful, enter
beehive in the Words box; then click on the
Saint box to get a pull-down menu of saints, and click on Philaretos the Merciful. Click on the search button, and the eight passages with
beehive in this vita will appear on the screen. If you are searching for a multi-word entry, e.g. holy water, you must place a period (and no space) between the two words (holy.water).
To search for a proper name, type the name in the appropriate box, e.g. Theopiste. Clicking on the
Comment button to the right of the box will produce a list of the two individuals named Theopiste who are included in the database, and provide brief identifications. These names are not directly linked to the database, but will provide you with the correct form of the name. Thus typing in
Theopiste.abbess in the Proper Names box (or using the
copy and paste function) and pressing the search button will produce thirteen instances where Theopiste is mentioned in the vita of Theodora of Thessalonike. Please note that a period (without any spaces) must separate words for both proper names and toponyms (e.g., Theophylaktos.of.Nikomedeia).
Follow the same procedure to search for topographical names. For example, type
Amorion in the appropriate box. Pressing the
Comment button to the right will give you a brief description of the location of Amorion. Exit the
Comment screen and press the Search button, and you will call up the 24 instances in which the word Amorion appears in the database. To narrow the search, you can type in an additional search parameter, such as the vita of Blasios of Amorion (enter
Blasios of Amorion in the Saint box), in which case only two cards will appear. If you are searching for a multi-word toponym (e.g., churches of Sts. Kosmas and Damianos), you must place a period (without any space) between each word of the phrase (e.g., church.of.Sts.Kosmas.and.Damianos). If you press the Comment button, it will list seven different churches by this name. You may highlight the church you select, and copy its name to the toponyms box on the query screen. Then press the search button and you will call up all instances of this church in the database.
If you wish to see all the entries for a vita in the order in which they appear in the text, enter the name of the saint in the Saint's box and press
search. This will produce the full sequence of record cards for that vita.
It is also possible to search for Greek words in transliterated form that have been entered into the
Notes field for a card. Thus, if you are looking for instances of
monydrion, type in
monydri (so that the word can be found, irrespective of its case ending) and press
search. This will produce five instances of the word, all from the vita of Sts. David, Symeon and George. Remember that if you want to check the edition from which the Greek text originates, click on the saint's name. This will take you to the saint's card with complete bibliographical information.
If you experience any difficulties in using it, please contact the Byzantine Studies Program.]]>
