Auspices

I posted a Greek-allusion-filled news item on one of my websites today that might amuse some people here:

Ever College Needs an Auspex

A coworker and I were eating lunch outside right next to Fenway Park in Boston the other day when a giant hawk started circling above. She said it didn't seem like a good sign for the game that night, and I mentioned that we could really use an auspex because maybe the hawk was a good sign.
