our cup runneth over<BR>with events-to-be-announced and goodies galore!&nbsp; 
Full<BR>features that appear in QUID NOVI have not previously<BR>appeared on my 
MiningCo.com site, though they will be<BR>archived at TMC after the newsletter 
is one-week old. Please<BR>feel free to email me at <A 
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> 
with<BR>comments and/or suggestions. And I'd love to hear what you<BR>would 
like 
to see added to either this newsletter - or to<BR>the Latin site!<BR><BR><A

the very next issue, and you will<BR>receive full credit!<BR><BR>Do you have a 
web site that promotes Latin? a Latin club to<BR>which you would like to have a

Mining<BR>Company site? Let me know, and I'll get right back with you.<BR><BR>I 
hope you enjoy QUID NOVI and that you will share it with<BR>your 
friends!<BR><BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR><BR>Quis 
Sum?<BR><BR>Salvete, amici! I am new to The Mining Company, and I wish<BR>for 
you to know a little bit about who I am and what makes<BR>me tick. . . 
.<BR><BR>Latin is my life, my hobby, and what I do from the time the<BR>rooster 
crows 'til the crazies come on the radio after<BR>midnight! For three years I 
have maintained Little Venture<BR>Latin Pages, offering my Latin services not 
only in person<BR>but also over the Internet through two web sites: the 
Latin<BR>Grammar Hotline (<A 
href="http://www.compassnet.com/mrex";>http://www.compassnet.com/mrex</A>), a 
free<BR>service for Latin students who have short questions<BR>regarding Latin 
grammar and etymology, and a commercial<BR>service (<A 
href="http://www.compassnet.com/mrex/comweb/index.html";>http://www.compassnet.com/mrex/comweb/index.html</A>)<BR>which
 
offers services to the public.<BR><BR>In 1969 I became a Texas-state-certified 
teacher in Latin,<BR>Russian, and English, and I have taught high-school 
courses<BR>in classrooms and over regional educational television. In<BR>the 
mid-seventies, I added a post-graduate major in Radio<BR>and Television 
Communications and was a prime-time news<BR>announcer on a Houston, Texas, 
all-news radio station. In<BR>the 1980s I taught Latin on television through 
the 
Texas<BR>Region IV Education Service Center, and in 1996 I founded<BR>the 
Internet's only Latin Grammar Hotline. I hold my degree<BR>in Latin, English, 
and Russian from the University 
of<BR>Texas-Austin.<BR><BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR><BR>This 
week's latin.miningco.com feature...<BR><BR>Back to the Salt Mines<BR><BR>The 
Latin word &quot;sal&quot; [salt] has helped to<BR>contribute a number of words 
and expressions to English,<BR>among them, &quot;salary,&quot; 
&quot;salsa,&quot;<BR>&quot;souse,&quot; &quot;silt,&quot; 
&quot;halogen&quot;<BR>[yep!], &quot;sauce&quot;....<BR><BR>..&quot;not worth 
his salt&quot;...<BR>.. &quot;to salt away&quot;...<BR>..&quot;an old 
salt&quot;....<BR><BR>Roman soldiers were paid in blocks or bags of salt to 
(1)<BR>season unpreserved food to make it taste better and (2) to<BR>use as 
currency [ie: salary] to make personal purchases.<BR><BR>Numerous other 
&quot;gifts&quot; of &quot;sal&quot; now<BR>pepper the English language! Read 
more about it now....<BR><BR>Go to <A

features.<BR><BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR><BR>Did You Know 
That...?<BR><BR>The word &quot;pontifex&quot; [priest] actually 
means<BR>&quot;bridge-maker,&quot; coming from the Latin 
noun<BR>&quot;pons&quot; [bridge] and the Latin suffix<BR>&quot;-fex&quot; 
[maker].<BR><BR>The pontifex, a high priest, at one time supervised 
repair<BR>of 
the Pons Sublicius, the Bridge of Piles [said to have<BR>been built by Ancus 
Marcius, fourth king of Rome], over the<BR>Tiber River. It was this wooden 
bridge, the oldest in<BR>ancient Rome, that united the Eternal City to a 
fortress on<BR>the Janiculum Hill, forming a protection against 
the<BR>Etruscans. Keeping the bridge in a state of repair was one<BR>of the 
prime duties of the pontifex, for the bridge was<BR>deemed an object of 
religious worship, and it often floated<BR>away during times of 
flooding.<BR><BR>I must add that some authorities claim that 
this<BR>relationship to &quot;bridges&quot; is hogwash! It is this<BR>group of 
etymologists who insist that pontifex comes from<BR>the Etruscan. However, 
these 
linguists can offer no<BR>conclusive explanation, and I have been unable to 
locate<BR>specifics regarding this latter etymology.<BR><BR>Related words: 
pontoon, pontificate.<BR><BR>For additional interesting tidbits of etymology,

from Raymond Cormier:

"Virgil in the European Middle Ages:  Imperial Time and Eternal Order"

I am attempting to organize a three-paper session for the Leeds/2000
conference (10-13 July 2000). This session will focus especially on
translations, adaptations and reworkings of Virgil's text--in the various
vernaculars.
        The International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds 
(England's
fourth largest city) has announced "Time and Eternity" as the theme for
2000. This includes such notions as the concept, duration, experience, and
philosophy of time, as well as the topics of historiography, prophecy, and
time and narrative.  See their W3 site for further
information: 

        http://www.leeds.ac.uk/imi/imc/imc.htm
        
        The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 September 1999.  (The
Proposal Form that organizers must submit to Leeds is due by September 30).
For each proposal, I will need to have the author's name, affiliation,
address for correspondence, office and home telephone and FAX numbers,
email address, and the language of the delivery.  Also list any special
equipment required for the presentation. Please send abstracts of 100-150
words to:
