1. Pursuant to K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 38-1121(c), if a noncustodial parent knowingly acquiesces in the decision that delayed his or her child's graduation from high school, child support may be ordered to continue until the child graduates from high school even though the child will turn 19 before graduating.
2. Under the facts of this case, by making a choice not to participate in his child's life, a father deliberately and consciously gave his implied consent to every decision the child's mother made on behalf of the child. Accordingly, under K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 38-1121(c), the father knowingly acquiesced in the mother's decision to delay the child's enrollment in school.
Appeal from Decatur District Court; WILLIAM B. ELLIOTT, judge. Opinion filed January 17, 2003. Affirmed.
Daniel C. Walter, of Ryan, Walter & McClymont, Chtd., of Norton, for appellant.
Karen L. Griffiths, of Norton, for appellee.
Before GERNON, P.J., KNUDSON, J., and LARSON, S.J.
GERNON, J: Scott Hartzog appeals the district court's order extending child support beyond June 30 of the year in which his son turns 18 years old.
Hartzog is the legal father of D.E.S., who was born in May 1984. D.E.S. was conceived while Hartzog, who was 20 years old, was dating a 16-year-old girl named Norma. Hartzog and Norma never married. Indeed, Hartzog never spoke to Norma again after learning that she was pregnant with D.E.S., and he has never seen or spoken to D.E.S. Hartzog, however, has continued to pay child support and provide health insurance for D.E.S. since D.E.S. was an infant.
Norma enrolled D.E.S. in school when he was 6 years old. As a result, D.E.S. will graduate from high school in 2003 at the age of 19. On April 19, 2002, the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) filed a motion to continue child support for D.E.S. until he graduates from high school. At the time the motion was filed, Hartzog was paying $147 per month in child support for D.E.S.
After a hearing on SRS's motion, the district court found D.E.S. to be a bona fide high school student, determined that Hartzog knowingly acquiesced in the decision to enroll D.E.S. in school at the age of 6, and ordered child support to continue until D.E.S. graduates from high school in 2003. Hartzog appeals.
Hartzog argues that the district court improperly interpreted K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 38-1121. The interpretation of a statute is a question of law over which an appellate court has de novo review. Kleinsorge v. Kleinsorge, 29 Kan. App. 2d 519, 520, 28 P.3d 434, rev. denied 272 Kan. (2001).
K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 38-1121(c) provides in pertinent part:
"When the child reaches 18 years of age, the support shall terminate unless: (1) The parent or parents agree, by written agreement approved by the court, to pay support beyond that time; (2) the child reaches 18 years of age before completing the child's high school education in which case the support shall not automatically terminate, unless otherwise ordered by the court, until June 30 of the school year during which the child became 18 years of age if the child is still attending high school; or (3) the child is still a bona fide high school student after June 30 of the school year during which the child became 18 years of age, in which case the court, on motion, may order support to continue through the school year during which the child becomes 19 years of age so long as the child is a bona fide high school student and the parents jointly participated or knowingly acquiesced in the decision which delayed the child's completion of high school." (Emphasis added.)
Hartzog argues that he did not knowingly acquiesce in the decision to delay D.E.S.'s school enrollment because he was not aware of the decision. In support of his position, Hartzog cites Kleinsorge. In Kleinsorge, a father filed a motion to terminate child support when his youngest child did not graduate from high school after the child's 18th birthday. The parents had divorced when the child was in kindergarten, and the mother, who had primary residential custody, decided to place the child in a transitional first grade class, thereby delaying his high school graduation. In Kleinsorge, this court denied the father's request to terminate child support and held that the father had knowingly acquiesced in the decision to delay the child's education even though he had not participated in the decision. Kleinsorge, 29 Kan. App. 2d at 521. The court noted that the father, who had limited contact with the child, knew about the delay but did nothing to contest it. Kleinsorge, 29 Kan. App. 2d at 521.
Hartzog argues that the key to the Kleinsorge decision is the father's limited contact with the child. He distinguishes Kleinsorge from this case because he has had absolutely no contact with the child. Essentially, Hartzog argues that fathers should be financially rewarded for not participating in their children's lives.
"Acquiesce" means "'[t]o give an implied consent to a transaction, to the accrual of a right, or to any act, by one's mere silence, or without express assent or acknowledgment.'" Kleinsorge, 29 Kan. App. 2d at 520 (quoting Black's Law Dictionary 24 [6th ed. 1990]). "Knowing" means "[d]eliberate; conscious." Black's Law Dictionary 876 (7th ed. 1999).
Parents' duties toward support of their children encompass much more than financial support. Parents are called upon to make a multitude of decisions throughout their children's lives. Hartzog certainly knew that Norma would have to make decisions regarding D.E.S. and his upbringing. By making a choice not to participate in D.E.S.'s life, Hartzog deliberately and consciously gave his implied consent to every decision Norma made on behalf of D.E.S. Accordingly, Hartzog knowingly acquiesced in Norma's decision to delay D.E.S.'s enrollment in school. The trial court did not err in its interpretation of K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 38-1121(c).

I wonder how Captain Maged Boules feels now when he saw what happened last Sunday at Maspero !?
How do Christian officers and soldiers feel now when they see the army they serving and ready to do for killing other Christians like that !?
What do they suppose to do ?
What if their relatives and friends were injured or killed last Sunday !?
I wonder what General Fouad Aziz would think if he were alive and saw what happened !?
I once read that during the October 6th war there was that commander who used Holy Quran and holy Bible verses to raise the real morale of his battle whether in preparation of war or during the battle , how many commanders do we have now with such mentality !?
I know what happened last Sunday was not sectarian but I can't stop thinking in its consequences from all sides.
I do not believe about sectarianism in the army yet I believe what happened last Sunday shows a high level of social , political and military stupidity in a way that I can't believe it.
I will not even speak about the fact that they were Egyptian people or humans
Logical says that someone will be a scapegoat in front of what happened yet based on what I see it seems to that it is the Egyptian TV.
It is not about the revolution anymore much about a whole nation's destiny , it is about national unity. It is about society that really wants to rest after 30 years of agony , it is about angry revolutionary youth , it is about an army that many inside Egypt and outside it in the Arab world consider as one of the last standing Arab armies , it is about a nation that is greater , bigger and older than couple of old generals who should have been retired from long time.

RSV infections more serious than pandemic H1N1 in French infants
A group of French researchers seeking to determine whether the 2009 H1N1 flu was as severe as had been anticipated in infants found that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections were more problematic, according to a study published online Apr 18 in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. All infants under 24 months of age who presented to the pediatric emergency department of the University Hospital of Caen, France, with respiratory symptoms from Nov 1, 2009, to Apr 15, 2010, were included in the study, whether inpatient or outpatient management resulted. Nasal swabs were obtained and specimens tested for a number of viruses including influenza A and B, RSV, adenoviruses, and parainfluenza viruses. A total of 1,021 swabs from 921 infants were obtained; the rate of virus detection was high (81.7%). The most common virus was RSV (34.3% of all samples), followed by rhinoviruses (23.9%), coronaviruses (9.3%), and 2009 H1N1 (7.7%). The overall hospitalization rate was 33.79%. RSV infections were much more likely to be severe than the other infections (odds ratio, 7.85), while the risks of severe illness and hospitalization were lower for pandemic H1N1 cases than for the other viruses. The authors comment that although other studies have found increased hospitalization rates and intensive care unit admissions in 2009 H1N1 cases, these studies have not focused on infants.

Study finds improved pregnancy outcomes with H1N1 vaccination
H1N1 vaccination in second- or third-term expectant mothers during the 2009 flu pandemic resulted in better fetal and neonatal outcomes, according to a Canadian study published online Apr 19 in the American Journal of Public Health. The study examined a population-based perinatal database in Ontario comprising 55,570 mothers with singleton births to identify preterm births (less than 32 weeks' gestation), small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, 5-minute Apgar scores below 7, and fetal deaths. A total of 23,340 mothers (42%) had received an H1N1 vaccination during pregnancy. The authors found significant reductions in the risk of SGA babies (10% reduction), preterm babies (27%), and fetal deaths (34%) in the vaccinated mothers. But they said the findings need to be confirmed by further studies with designs that can better overcome concerns about biased estimates of vaccine efficacy.

Bhutan reports H5N1 in backyard poultry
Livestock officials in Bhutan today reported that lab tests have detected H5N1 avian influenza in backyard poultry in Mongar district, according to a report from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). An outbreak killed 70 of 265 susceptible free-ranging chickens in Yangbari and Patong villages. Samples from one carcass tested positive for H5N1 in real-time polymerase chain reaction testing, but samples from 16 other birds were negative, according to the report. Since surveillance showed no other cases within 3 kilometers, officials said the event "could be a suspected H5N1 outbreak." The source of the virus is unknown. Mongar district is located in eastern Bhutan.

WHO reports progress on H1N1 pandemic mortality estimates
The World Health Organization (WHO) is working on a preliminary global mortality estimate for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and it recently posted an update on the work of a technical expert group that is in the early stages of gauging the impact. Two teams are working with the WHO to produce independent estimates with different methods, one from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and one from the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research. A technical committee that is overseeing the groups' work met in late October to review preliminary results and give feedback on the modeling processes. The WHO has said the number of confirmed 2009 H1N1 pandemic deaths is a gross underestimate, for several reasons. It said better estimates of the cases and deaths are needed to better understand the impact of the pandemic and how it measures up historically. "While the data for a definitive estimate of mortality will likely not exist for several years, and will never exist for some parts of the world, a preliminary estimate would be useful in the short term, and would serve to give a more realistic understanding of the true impact of the event than currently available reported mortality figures," the WHO said. Initial work presented at the October meeting was based on limited data from industrialized countries. As the next step, more countries, including some middle- and low-income countries, will provide data for the project this year, which should help the two groups further refine their estimates by the end of the year.

I give 2K Sports a lot of credit for sitting out this year on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 when it comes to hockey. They're stepping back to develop NHL 2K12 after getting their ass kicked by EA's series last season and are instead focusing their efforts on Wii, a system just waiting to have its technology put to proper use in the icy world of hockey. Sadly the system will have to wait for its day in the sun as NHL 2K11 has some annoying aspects to its core hockey, despite putting Wii MotionPlus to decent use in-game.
If you're lucky enough to own Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus attachment, then you probably know that there's a significant difference between that and the Wii Remote that shipped with the system. NHL 2K11's relies heavily on this technology to deliver some of its new features, so I'd recommend picking up the attachment before stepping onto the ice. Either that, or have a Classic Controller handy because even with MotionPlus, there are plenty of annoyances to be found.
The game touts its one-to-one dekeing abilities and that's one area where NHL 2K11 shines. Holding down on the d-pad allows you to deke from side to side by making the requisite movements with the Remote. Not only that, but you can also carry the puck on your stick and juggle it in the air if you've got the skill, all with the help of the MotionPlus technology. It's strange to think that MotionPlus can perform intricate moves like dekeing and juggling the puck with ease, yet it struggles with standard things like shooting.
For whatever reason there were far too many instances when I'd have a man standing right in front of an open net with a rebounded shot at his feet yet no shot attempt was made despite me frantically making the shot motion with my arm. Sometimes my frantic motions worked, other times they didn't with no rhyme or reason to either result. Nothing is more frustrating than missing a wide open net because of lacking control mechanics.
Annoyances also creep their way into defense, sadly, where I found the transition from skating backwards to chasing the puck to take a bit too long in some cases. Too often my defensemen would remain in their backwards skating position as the opposing offense streaked by, only turning to pursue them once it was too late. Other flaws in the AI occur when you realize that skating around the opponent's net in circles is actually the best strategy for scoring. One-timers work too, but I found the most success by running circles around the goalie. It's a strategy that was only reinforced when I headed online and found that just about every opponent used the same gameplan.
Speaking of online play, NHL 2K11 enjoys a nice suite of features and options that includes support for the WiiSpeak peripheral, Team Up (every player on the ice is controlled by a different user), Online Leagues and general head-to-head play. Sadly all of those features are reliant on an online infrastructure that doesn't perform very well even on the high-speed connection afforded by the IGN office. Gameplay slowed to a slideshow at some points, making the whole experience not worth the effort.
If you do have a Classic Controller handy, there's a good bit more fun to be had within NHL 2K11. For starters, the mechanics are much more responsive with the dual analog sticks and face button layout. There are still AI flaws, but a few layers of frustration will melt away and you should be able to enjoy the sizeable offering of game modes.
There's the standard franchise mode with all the accoutrements you'd expect. You get the typical 2K hub page with all the requisite information and features like CPU trading and trade offers. There's also a mini-rink mode, there's pond hockey, there's a single-season offering as well as a playoff mode. I like that there's the ability to play the Winter Classic, but it's a bummer that you're tied to the Bruins and Flyers. I understand that they're the two teams from the real life Winter Classic, but this is a videogame and I should be able to play with the Panthers if I want.
New to the list of modes this year is something called Road to the Cup where players get to engage in a series of mini-games that's selected using a large Wheel of Fortune-style dial. It's obviously geared towards the more casual hockey fans of the world and in that regard it performs well. Mini-games include a snake-style game, an activity where you need to avoid roving barrels on the ice, a one-on-one shootout with a netminder, and a few more. The mode is certainly kid-friendly and simple as it takes only about a half-hour to complete, but as the one substantive new mode for this year's game, it's not exactly something for the title to hang its hat on. Still, if you're playing with a group of friends, you'll find some fun here.
One area where 2K Sports did a solid job is in the presentation of both the flair of each NHL team's introduction and player likenesses. While not every face looks the way it should, I found myself being impressed by few of the models. Animation work is also pretty solid, especially on some of the cooler checks. Try chucking the opposition into the bench for a truly satisfying sight. The framerate is also solid outside of the online mode. Those expecting anything comparable to NHL 11 will be let down, but NHL 2K11 is certainly a solid looking Wii game.
Closing Comments
NHL 2K11 had a lot of potential, a notion that's accentuated once you feel the one-to-one dekeing for the first time. Sadly once you spend some time with the title you'll realize that the shooting mechanics and AI could've really used some fine tuning to avoid some of the needless frustrations. If you're a diehard hockey fan I think there will be enough for you to enjoy to warrant a look, but I'd recommend picking up a Classic Controller for maximum enjoyment.

Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire represented the Knicks very nicely in Miami tonight. They both were the marquee players in Team Wade's victory. STAT had maybe the highlight of the night when he dunked over Kevin Durant in the 4th quarter. Melo hit a clutch 3 pointer with 2 seconds left to put the game into overtime. He finished with 30 points and 11 rebounds. While Melo left the game in overtime with a calf cramp, Amar'e took over. He had 5 big points including 2 classic Amar'e style awkward looking shots.
Melo again looked in shape and he actually played some good defense tonight. Despite the fact that there were no real big men on Team LeBron, Stoudemire did look very good tonight.Follow @tarmosino

1,5 week after transmogging finally coming I'm totally bored of tier 6. xD So I guess the downside of looking how you want to is that you want to change it all the time. We're all fashion bitches now...
|Laeleiweyn- badass draenei hunter. :) Set is Vicious' Gladiator's Pursuit, combined with Steamworker's Goggles and The Diplomat (which has a cool effect to it as well).
|Draenei hunter Laeleiweyn in Ranger Selone's garb. Ranger Selone is a NPC in Dalaran. And this outfit isn't available I'm afraid, except Mistscape Cloak and Thori'dal the Stars' Fury (which isn't transmogrifiable anyway).
|Draenei hunter Laeleiweyn in a dark ranger outfit. This is close to being an ideal hunterlook to me. Perhaps more green colours (see Phyllixia below). Also a NPC outfit, except Cape of the Black Baron and Adamantine Repeater.
Doing some hunterstalking on armory shows that a lot of people have started to use this new feature, and embraced the opportunity to get their favorite look. Unfortunately I see a lot of tier 6 and Golden Bow of Quel'thalas, so my approach was far from unique... But still it's fun to see so many varieties of hunters and other classes we suddenly have out there. :)
|Night elf hunter Garwulf in Field Marshal and Merciless Gladiator's Crossbow of the Phoenix
|Worgen hunter Gavendo in tier 10 and Steamworker's Goggles
|Orc hunter Honeytrap is going for lots and lots of colours in her PVP set
|Draenei hunter Imacup with Black Bow of the Betrayer and transmogged engineering goggles
|Human hunter Kalliope in Gladiator gear, with Malefactor's Eyepatch and Quicksilver Crossbow
|Worgen hunter Onymas in tier 2
|Draenei hunter Outy in tier 1 and Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix
|Night elf hunter Phyllixia has been going more for a look than for a set, I like :)
|Orc hunter Quori in tier 4 and Mimiron's Repeater
|Night elf hunter Velocitas in Striker's Garb
|Blood elf hunter Vephriel in Ruthless Gladiator
|Draenei hunter Zanbon in Gladiator gear, with an AWSOME looking bow: Vengeful Gladiator's Longbow
|Dwarf hunter Zeherah in Crown of Flame, waiting for her own crown to drop (Zeherah's Dragonskull Crown)
Any tips about my transmogging-desires are most welcome! See Hunterstalker for the different hunters' web presence.

"Homeland." Things got a little crazy at the end of season two of Showtime's intense spy thriller, what with Langley being blown to bits and Carrie (Claire Danes) helping Brody (Damian Lewis) escape. Not surprisingly, things stay a little crazy, albeit in a slightly calmer way, if that makes any sense, which it should to fans of "Homeland." Instantly distancing themselves from the love story that dominated much of season two, the writers choose to go at least two full episodes without even a glimpse of Brody. Bad for Lewis fans, but good for the story, which seems to be settling into a tale of women on the edge: Carrie, of course, but also Brody's wife and daughter.
Months have passed, Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is now firmly entrenched as head of the CIA, though the CIA itself is less entrenched; a Senate subcommittee is determined to get to the bottom of the bombing even if it means dissolving the agency. Off her meds and struggling with Saul's new relationship with manipulative black ops genius Dar Adul (F. Murray Abraham), Carrie whipsaws between hysteria and grim resolution. Over in the Brody household, Dana (Morgan Saylor) is also coming to terms with a father's betrayal. Even more than last season, every character is forced to turn and turn again -- Saul appears to be throwing Carrie under the bus, Carrie is now arguing Brody's innocence, and Quinn (Peter Friend), who once saw Carrie as a liability, is now her biggest supporter. "You need to really slow things down so they don't become overwhelming," a counselor tells Dana early on, and it seems the writers are taking that advice. Early episodes revisit old territory, claim some new and reconnect "Homeland" with its own fabulous spy-versus-spy roots. Showtime, Sundays, 9 p.m.
"The Good Wife." Every fall, new shows come and go, but "The Good Wife" is back for its fifth season to show them how it's done. Year after year, creators Michelle and Robert King and their team deftly combine character study with legal procedural and add a dollop of family drama, all while showcasing one of the best ensembles in TV, not to mention a heady list of recurring guest stars. (The judges alone are worth watching for.) Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), a woman perpetually at a crossroads, seemed to imply in last season's finale that she was ready to strike out with former competitor and now colleague Carey Argos (Matt Czuchry). What will on-again/off-again boss/lover Will (Josh Charles) have to say to that? More important, what will Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) do? (Honestly, isn't that something we should ask ourselves in any situation -- what would Kalinda do?) Can't wait, but don't have to much longer. Yay. CBS, Sundays, 9 p.m.
"Masters of Sex." Combine "Mad Men" with the film adaptation of "The Kinsey Report" and you have Showtime's new series in which Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan star as iconic sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Where Kinsey and his comrades studied the difference between attitudes and actions -- what Americans said they thought about sex was often at great odds with what they did -- Masters is more interested in the physiology of the thing. Against everyone's better judgment, he began to do research, first observing and interviewing prostitutes. A bit of a cold fish, especially given his work, Masters quickly realizes he needs a woman to help grow his study group; he hires Johnson, a single mother with modern views about sex, as a secretary but she quickly becomes his partner, in more than one way.
There is a lot of sex, obviously, in "Masters of Sex," though much of it is research-oriented and a bit creepy, but that is not the point. As Masters keeps arguing with those who accuse him of pornography, knowledge is the point and slowly we see how biology can be destiny -- a growing understanding of sexuality fueled the sexual and women's liberation movements. Sheen is a chameleon, though the repressed scientist doesn't sit quite comfortably on him -- we keep waiting for the grin we know is lurking in their somewhere. Caplan, on the other hand, is a marvel, creating a dishy, dignified and a thoroughly modern woman who winds up helping millions to become something similar. Showtime, Sundays, 10 p.m.
"Elementary." The smart, successful American version of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective returns, and promptly goes to London. During it's first season, the writers beautifully balanced a story of Sherlock Holmes' (Jonny Lee Millier) recovery from drug addiction--in this version Watson (Lucy Liu) is originally hired as his sober companion--with a criminal procedural in which episodes were sometimes but not always based on Doyle's works. Add a terrific supporting cast, including Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill, and it's a fully realized show we're very glad is back. CBS, Thursdays, 10 p.m.
Keep watching:
"Sleepy Hollow," Fox, Mondays, 9 p.m. This modern version of Washington Irving's famous Headless Horseman tale brings an Revolutionary War soldier back to life and partners him with a modern female detective. Together, they must prevent the Apocalypse. Seriously. And seriously great.
"The Blacklist." NBC, Mondays, 10 p.m. James Spader as a super-spy turned enemy of the state turned informant makes this still the most solid and satisfying new drama of the fall.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D," ABC, Tuesdays, 8 p.m. Because it could turn out to be very cool, and then you will have been in since the beginning.

Facebook fatale
Wick's World
One definition of fatale is "a fatal mistake in calculations."
That is about as close of a description as any I can think of concerning some unsolicited posts I have received recently on my Facebook page. The posts in question referred to none other than politics and religion.
The political post stated to the effect that if you don't love your country like I do (that the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited in schools) then you can leave the country. The religious post (if you don't believe as I do then you can go to He--) was even more vitriolic in its message of hatred; pretty ugly stuff for a nation that prides itself on freedom of (or from) religion and free thought.
I should have left Facebook alone that night in my hotel room in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but I succumbed to my Facebook addiction and read a forwarded post concerning the Pledge of Allegiance. One of the hazards of Facebook is that most of these posts never originate with the person you personally know but are usually forwarded by some "dittohead" too dumb to think for themself. That probably upset me more than the message. If you want to state political or religious views, please do it with your own thoughts and in your own words and I will respect and respond to that. If you don't, here is what happens: I responded with a rant and rave stating that nobody was going to tell me what to think or what to believe. The next day I posted on Facebook the following: "To all you religious/political zealots: If you tell me what I have to believe in, expect a scathing reply."
I did get a few responses; all from people who agreed with my stand. Did I accomplish anything with the people who posted? Probably not.
My response to religious posts: I love Christians and Muslims alike. I love Jews, Mormons, Buddhists and Pagans. Name your religion and I am fine with it — treat me likewise.
Concerning the Pledge of Allegiance posting: The slogan I have detested for the past half century is "Love it or leave it." I hated it in the sixties and I hate it today. The slogan goes directly against the main principles this country stands for and was founded on.
To be very clear, I do not love my country, I love my wife and kids. I love friends and family. When I had a back-breaking accident last winter, my friends told me that the first words out of my mouth were, "I love this car."
I don't "love" my country, but I am often very proud of it, especially when we lead the way in aid for disaster. Sometimes I am not so proud of my country, especially when we kill people because our oil happens to be underneath their sand. I highly appreciate my country for the rights given to me to speak about the very things I write about. Like most citizens, I am patriotic in my own way.
What, you may ask, is the problem with "The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America"? Nothing, if that is what you want to do. Just don't require every school kid or citizen to make a similar pledge.
Why? Go ahead and recite the Pledge but replace the United States of America with The German Republic. Now replace the words "to the Republic for which it stands" with "The Third Reich." Replace those same words with "The People's Republic of China" and "The Red Army."
Adolph Hitler and Mao Tse Tung utilized very similar pledges to mobilize their youth. I would hope everyone remembers the results. All I am saying is that pledging a blind allegiance to any country, whether right or wrong, can have disastrous results. I prefer to stand by my country when I feel it is right and to try to correct my country when I believe it is wrong. It's my country too and I ain't goin' nowhere.

No. 94,092
1. K.S.A. 65-4901 et seq., concerning medical malpractice screening panels is analyzed and applied.
2. Motions to reconsider are generally treated as motions to alter or amend under K.S.A. 60-259(f), which states that such motions are to be filed no later than 10 days after entry of judgment.
3. The standard of review of the denial of a motion to alter or amend the judgment is an abuse of discretion standard.
4. The provision in K.S.A. 65-4904(a) which states: "All written opinions hall be supported by corroborating references to published literature and other relevant documents," is directory rather than mandatory.
5. The use of the word "shall" in a statute can be directory rather than mandatory when it is not accompanied by negative words indicating the specific acts can be done in no other manner, or no consequences of noncompliance are included.
Appeal from Douglas District Court; ROBERT W. FAIRCHILD, judge. Opinion filed November 10, 2005. Affirmed.
Lucy Cutler, appellant pro se.
Sean T. McGrevey, of McCormick, Adam & Long, P.A., of Overland Park, for the appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., PIERRON and HILL, JJ.
PIERRON, J.: Lucy Cutler appeals the district court's order accepting the report of the medical malpractice screening panel (panel).
On June 18, 2003, Cutler filed a petition requesting a medical malpractice screening panel, pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4901. She named Richard Sosinski, M.D., as respondent.
On July 3, 2003, the district court gave notice of the convening of the panel to both parties and the court-appointed attorney who would serve as the nonvoting chairperson of the panel. See K.S.A. 65-4901; K.S.A. 65-4902. This order gave rise to a motion to dismiss from Dr. Sosinski; however, it was denied. Pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4901, panel members were chosen. The members of the panel, besides the nonvoting chairperson, consisted of three medical doctors: one chosen by Cutler, one chosen by Dr. Sosinski, and one designated by the district court.
On October 21, 2004, the panel met "to review the records and documents submitted by the Claimant and Respondent . . . ." The panel then issued its report which, in relevant part, stated:
"The unanimous opinion of the panel is as follows:
1. The standard of care applicable to the Respondent, Richard Sosinski, M.D., at the time when he provided medical care to Claimant, Lucy Cutler, was based upon the prevailing practice as supported and indicated by general medical texts and literature on the subjects in question to April, 2001; and further, the standard of care is based upon the collective opinions recognized by the cumulative and extensive medical experience of the panel members. Due to the extensive number of medical issues, the panel is not able to reference specific literature or other documents to identify the standard of care."
The panel concluded that Dr. Sosinski did not depart from the "standard of care and practice applicable at the time in question." Additionally, the panel reported that even if Dr. Sosinski failed to diagnose or failed to treat, it was "reasonably probable that no harm or injury resulted to [Cutler.]" The report was filed November 9, 2004, and mailed to Cutler that day.
In a letter dated November 26, 2004, Cutler expressed her concern to the district court that the screening panel did not fulfill its requirements to cite "corroborating references." See K.S.A. 65-4904(a). She requested a new panel be convened. On December 14, 2004, the court entered its order, which accepted the panel's report and recognized its compliance with the pertinent statutes.
Cutler filed an untimely motion to reconsider in a letter to the district court dated December 31, 2004, file-stamped January 6, 2005. The court, in a letter dated January 14, 2005, stated: "There is no procedure in the statutes to review or modify the report[,]" and that Cutler's remedy, given her dissatisfaction with the screening panel's report, was to file suit pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4905. Cutler did not file suit against Dr. Sosinski. Her notice of appeal was filed on February 10, 2005.
Motions to reconsider are generally treated as motions to alter or amend under K.S.A. 60-259(f). Exploration Place, Inc. v. Midwest Drywall Co., 277 Kan. 898, 900, 89 P.3d 536 (2004). K.S.A. 60-259(f) states such motions are to be filed no later than 10 days after entry of judgment. "The standard of review of the denial of a motion to alter or amend the judgment is an abuse of discretion standard. [Citation omitted.]" Exploration, 277 Kan. at 900.
In this case, Cutler did not file her motion to reconsider until 23 calendar days after the district court's order. She ultimately appealed the district court's response letter, stating that if she disagreed with the panel's report, K.S.A. 65-4905 provided her a remedy, specifically, to file suit in the district court. The court wrote: "There is no procedure in the statutes for the court to review or modify the report." This court could dispose of Cutler's appeal on the basis of an untimely motion to reconsider, hence, creating an untimely appeal. However, Cutler's position on the merits also fails.
Cutler's argument is based upon the language of K.S.A. 65-4904(a), which provides:
"Within 90 days after the screening panel is commenced, such panel shall make written recommendations on the issue of whether the health care provider departed from the standard of care in a way which caused the plaintiff or claimant damage. A concurring or dissenting member of the screening panel may file a written concurring or dissenting opinion. All written opinions shall be supported by corroborating references to published literature and other relevant documents."
However, this court held in White v. VinZant, 13 Kan. App. 2d 467, 473-74, 773 P.2d 1169 (1989), that the use of the word "shall" in this statute can be "directory rather than mandatory when it is (1) not accompanied by negative words indicating the specific acts can be done in no other manner; or (2) no consequences of noncompliance are included." The White court analyzed the part of the statute regarding the panel submitting the report within 90 days and concluded the statute was directory, not mandatory. See Marais des Cygnes Valley Teachers' Ass'n v. U.S.D. No. 456, 264 Kan. 247, 251, 954 P.2d 1096 (1998) (provides the criteria for determining whether a statute should be deemed mandatory or directory). Likewise, the written corroboration "requirement" at issue in this case appears to be directory.
"The Medical Malpractice Screening Panels Act, K.S.A. 65-4901 et seq., was enacted by the legislature to provide for the early resolution of many medical malpractice claims without the expense, and often inordinate delay, of actual litigation. Strict adherence to the rules of procedure and evidence applicable to a civil trial are not followed. K.S.A. 65-4903." Lawless v. Cedar Vale Regional Hosp., 252 Kan. 1064, 1070, 850 P.2d 795 (1993).
The panel's report is not binding on the parties. If one or more parties reject the final determination of the panel, they may proceed with the action in the district court, pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4905. Lawless, 252 Kan. at 1071.
In Lawless, the court concluded the district court had erred in finding the panel had acted properly when only two of the three selected medical members participated. 252 Kan. at 1072-73. However, it should be noted that the claimant/plaintiff's selected medical doctor was the one left out of the process by the chairperson's dilatory behavior surrounding the panel's business. This, on its face, would be prejudicial to the claimant. Additionally, the Lawless decision was ultimately affirmed based on the district court's conclusion that the malpractice suit was barred by the statute of limitations. 52 Kan. at 1073. "'Whether language in a statute is mandatory or directory is to be determined on a case-by-case basis and the criterion as to whether a requirement is mandatory or directory is whether compliance with such requirement is essential to preserve the rights of the parties.' [Citation omitted.]" Marais, 264 Kan. at 251.
Corroborating citations in the panel's report were not essential to preserve Cutler's rights to file suit against Dr. Sosinski. Furthermore, the specific language of the statute indicates that, notwithstanding the use of the word "shall" and Supreme Court Rule 142 (2004 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 203), the statute is directory, not mandatory. The district court did not abuse its discretion in its decision denying Cutler's motion to reconsider.

You may not know the name David Javerbaum, but chances are you've heard his jokes.
Javerbaum is the former head writer on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and the man behind popular Twitter account @TheTweetOfGod, which boasts over 1.2 million followers.
But it's the Harvard grad's religious satire book, " The Last Testament: A Memoir By God," that is gathering buzz this week after it was announced it's being turned into a play set to debut next season on Broadway.
The critically acclaimed book, which is billed as God's celebrity autobiography as transcribed by Javerbaum, will be adapted for the stage by veteran Broadway producer, Jeffrey Finn.
"I am deeply disappointed that Jeffrey Finn has decided to produce this show," Javerbaum said in a sarcastic statement. "It will force me to continue my unwanted professional association with God, an abstract entity who has given me nothing but discomfort and agita. It is my desperate hope that we close out of town."
In the meantime, Javerbaum continues to act as God's mouthpiece on his Twitter account, @TheTweetOfGod.
If the tweets are any indication, this Broadway play is going to be hilarious.
Here's @TheTweetOfGod's thoughts on Easter:
And Earth Day:
When asked if God has any clever ideas on how to attract audiences to "The Last Testament," Javerbaum told the NY Post: "Of course, I want the show to run as long as it can. But once it stops running, due to lack of ticket sales, I'm going to end the world. I think that's a pretty good marketing ploy."
Watch your back, "Book of Mormon."

The folks at the National Army Museum have had a busy summer delving into their extensive photograph archives, the results of which are now being shown via their online exhibition entitled First Shots: Early War Photography 1848-60. The online exhibition features the work of many celebrated war photographers including Bengal Army Surgeon John McCosh who, as an enthusiastic amateur, recorded some remarkable scenes from the Second Sikh War (1848-49). Also featured is the work of Roger Fenton, of Crimea fame, whose pictures were among the first to be used for propaganda purposes.
Supported by early photographic equipment, First Shots provides a fascinating insight into the origins of what has become one of the most powerful journalistic mediums.
Visitors may find some images in this exhibition disturbing.

Harris County Public Library has Wireless Internet Access in all 26 branch libraries across Harris County. Library users with wireless-ready laptop computers can bring their own laptop PCs with them to any branch library and log on to the Internet. There is no charge for using the Library's high-speed network connection.
The enhanced connectivity was made possible through grant funds from the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund [6] (TIF). This was a highly competitive grant that required grantees to address public library services, programs, and materials by increasing access to their collections and services. The grants that were awarded showed promise of advancing learning, improving public access, and building partnerships in the state through collaboration.
In addition to the "Bring your Own Laptop" wireless Internet connections, the grant funds were used by Harris County Public Library to make laptop PCs available for loan in all 26 of the library's branch locations. Laptops can be checked out for use inside the libraries for 2-hour loan periods. In addition, two collaborative projects with area school districts will provide external wireless linkage between the school and library campuses as well as notebook computers for loan in two school library media centers.
Since its creation in 1995, TIF has awarded more than $1.2 billion in grants to its four constituent groups- public schools, libraries, institutions of higher education, and public, not-for-profit healthcare facilities. For more information, contact TIF at (512) 475-5300 or 888-533-(TIFB) 8432.

"I'm a former community college student," he says. "I transferred to UC Berkeley in 2001 and graduated in 2004, and I owe it all to community college. Now, as part of De Anza's Outreach team, I speak to students about how amazing this college is and how to be successful once they get here."
Morales has helped expand outreach services to more than 70 high schools, reaching out particularly to Latina/o students in East Jan Jose and Peninsula high schools, and providing support to prospective students and parents.
"Jorge has gone above and beyond his regular job duties by assisting students and parents one-on-one to navigate the enrollment process and connecting them to support services and programs," says nominator Rob Mieso, director of Outreach and Relations with Schools. "Jorge is very reliable, flexible, friendly and easy to work with."
Morales says he is passionate about helping students. "Working for Outreach allows me to help students by encouraging them to continue on with higher education. It is truly an amazing feeling meeting students who think they are not 'college material' only to see them motivated and inspired after one of my classroom presentations," he says. "And it's an even better feeling seeing some of those same students here at De Anza now."
Mieso appreciates Morales's contributions to the college's outreach efforts and his exemplary character. "He has developed strong collaborative working relationships with people across the campus and with our high school partners," Mieso says. "He has provided mentorship and guidance to our student ambassadors and continues to work hard to ensure the success of all students who come to De Anza."
"My experience so far has been amazing to say the least," says Morales. "With Rob's leadership, our office has produced very successful student conferences, reached out to more than 70 high schools and increased enrollment substantially. The success of Outreach would not have happened without our entire Outreach team and everyone who has supported Outreach."

The two Texas senators took time off from their Washington duties to visit the site of a deadly fertilizer plant explosion on Friday.
"In this close community, I grieve with the injured, and the family and friends who have lost loved ones," Sen. John Cornyn said in a statement. "After seeing the site first-hand, I know the road to recovery will be long, but I am encouraged by the many examples I have already seen of this town's resilience."
The town of West, Texas had been rocked by the explosion of the plan on Wednesday night. At least 12 are confirmed dead, and more than 60 remain missing. Investigations are ongoing for the cause of the explosion.
Cornyn said on a radio interview with 660 AM in Dallas that more than 120 were injured.
"Amidst all the death and destruction, you have to be encouraged by all the outpouring of support," Cornyn said in the radio interview with host JD Wells.
"Everybody in West, Texas knows everybody else," Cornyn went on, saying the tragedy has directly impacted everyone in the town of 2,800 people.
Because of the disaster in West, Cornyn and Cruz had to miss the first Senate hearing on the comprehensive immigration reform proposal unveiled earlier in the week.
Cruz's office did not respond to requests for comment at press time.

The Android app market saw a few well-known applications get some major updates last week. Amazon's Kindle app for Android now features a new user interface, while Air Droid 2 has exited beta and brought those features over to apps in the Google Play store. We'll take a look at both of these apps and quickly chat with the developers at Swype, who have finally pushed through their widely-used keyboard application to the Google Play store.
We'll also celebrate the fact that Bejeweled Blitz has finally made it to the Android platform and look at Evernote's update to its Food app and Weatherbug's new interface.
Weatherbug, Free
The new WeatherBug interface is easier to navigate and includes an at-a-glance temperature gauge in the Android status bar, which you can turn off from the settings. Additionally, WeatherBug now includes Spark Lightning Alerts, which let you know if lighting will hit near you by tapping into your GPS location. You can also use the app's lifestyle forecast to figure out how bad the pollen is in your area, whether it's a nice day for a game of golf, or whether you should considering wearing moisturizer for the day.
Bejeweled Blitz, Free(mium)
The wait is finally over—for fans of Bejeweled, that is. Although Bejeweled Blitz has long been available to play on iOS and Facebook, it's now available on Android for as many glorious mobile gaming lightning rounds as you can fit into a ten minute train ride. The match-three puzzle game features the same mechanics as its predecessor, Bejeweled, but die-hard fans can now invest in coins to pay for power ups and bonus rounds. You can even share those power ups with friends on Facebook, though those who don't play will likely hide your status updates for spamming their feed. Although power ups and extra spins on the Bejeweled slot machine will cost you a pretty penny, it's a fun game to pick up from time to time to test your match-three reflexes. New players will also receive 100,000 coins for free with their initial download.
Evernote Food, Free
Evernote Food used to be a simple application for keeping track of food you've cooked and enjoyed without the temptation to spam friends on social networks with lunch photos (that's what I've been using it for, anyway). Now, the app has been updated to help inspire confused or curious chefs, and it's added some extra functionality for those who have used Evernote to store recipes all this time.
Recipes you've clipped with the Evernote Web Clipper will now appear front and center in the app, so you no longer have to navigate through the myriad of Notebooks in your Evernote account to try to figure out what to make for dinner. You can also check out the latest suggestions from food sites as well as other Evernote users and then add them to the "My Cookbook" section to try out later. Too tired to eat in? Evernote Food also offers a map of restaurants nearby and around the world, which you can add to a wish list for later eating.
Air Droid, Free
Those who are keen on cutting the cord will be happy to know that AirDroid, the app that lets you manage your phone from your desktop, has reached another full version number this past week. AirDroid 2 now includes the ability to sign in on the Web to launch the device, even if your device is not nearby. You don't even need to have it on the same Wi-Fi network for it work—all you need is to register for an AirDroid account, which now also lets you locate your phone should it get lost. You can also sign up for AirDroid through your Google, Facebook, or Twitter account.
The new AirDroid also features call notifications and allows you to initiate a call on your Android device from the desktop. There's also a remote camera functionality, which lets you check out what's going on in the environment around your phone with the rear-facing camera. The update also brings improved SMS, photo, and file browsing experiences.
Back in January, AirDroid beta version 2 had opened up its doors for public beta access via a side-loaded APK file, and many of the features included in the most recent update actually started out in the beta version. No word yet on whether the developers plan to release another beta version to help with future software updates.
Amazon Kindle, Free
This week, Amazon updated its Kindle app with a few new subtle interface changes to make the overall experience more pleasant for avid e-book readers. The app now has a redesigned carousel view that allows users to flip through e-book titles, a feature that was previously limited to Amazon's Kindle Fire devices, as well as an updated navigational panel that organizes content for quick access to books, documents, and newsstand periodicals.
Swype, 99 cents
Swype, the popular swipe-to-type keyboard application, is now in the Google Play store. Initially launched in 2010 in a private Beta, it eventually opened up to those interested in side-loading the application as long as they offered their e-mail in exchange. "Now that we're part of a bigger organization and we're super confident of the strength of our product quality, we were just looking forward to getting out in the Google Play store," said Aaron Sheedy, Vice President of Text Input for Nuance, the company behind Swype, in a telephone conversation with Ars. When asked about why it now costs 99 cents to purchase, Sheedy answered, "We think it's worth it." There may be beta versions in the future, however. "We might be testing out a new keyboard design for some language; we might be doing some A/B testing on our UI; we might be asking for a little more rigorous feedback. We really want to have that balance of "free," but you really gotta sort of help us out with feedback and stuff." Also, you can try it before you buy it.
Swype hit its peak when OEM overlays on handsets like Samsung's Galaxy S III started including the feature. According to Sheedy, it has over 80 OEM partners for its keyboard application and supports 62 languages and dialects. The app in the Google Play store also contains three features that were once exclusive to Beta users, including Living Language, which will automatically detect where you are when a phone is turned on and add local words; Smart Touch, which will adjust for sloppy typers, and Smart Editor, which predicts what words you're about to type based on the context of the message.

Reality Training: Tenn. suicide-by-cop incident caught on dashcam
Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch said that his department will use the video for training purposes — so will we
On April 14, 2011, 34-year-old Guy Ronald McDowell called 911 to report that a shooting had taken place. He called again moments later to describe his vehicle and indicate that he wanted to surrender to police.
Officer Charles Lyons of the Knoxville police department located the suspect vehicle and was following him on Central Avenue Pike when McDowell stopped, exited his car, and brandished a silver pistol. Officer Lyons immediately put distance between his car and McDowell's, calmly telling dispatch, "I've got a red PT Cruiser 197 whiskey mike x-ray tried to go 10-25 on me."
Additional units had joined the pursuit on Interstate 275 by the time a Knoxville police negotiator called McDowell on his cell phone. McDowell abruptly stopped his car, and instead of complying with officers' clear instructions to get out of the car with his hands up, "McDowell chose to exit with the firearm, pointed it at officers and then made a racking motion with the weapon as he leveled it at the officers," said Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch.
McDowell was holding a pellet gun painted to look like a chrome-plated 9mm Beretta semi-automatic pistol — it was a suicide-by-cop incident caught on dashcam. Chief Rausch said that his department will use the video for training purposes — so will we.
• What are your observations of Officer Lyons' use of his vehicle? Does your agency train for "rapid rearward tactical movement" in such scenarios? If so, is that training done by EVOC instructors, use-of-force/firearms instructors, or both?
• Before McDowell stopped the first time — on Central Avenue Pike — his vehicle did something that some instructors might consider by to be a pre-attack indicator. Did you notice what it was? If so, does your agency train officers to watch for it?
• While you watched the traffic stop on Interstate 275 unfold, what were your observations of the officers' communications, movements, and other tactics? What would you and the other officers in your squad room do similarly? What would you do differently?
• According to a report by WATE-TV, four officers (it merits mention that Lyons did not discharge his weapon) fired a total of 40 rounds, striking the suspect 13 times. What do you think of this hit rate? Do you think the officers in your PD receive training that would result in a higher or lesser hit rate given similar circumstances?
• The investigation after this incident quickly revealed that this was an SBC event. What does your agency provide in terms of post-SBC support? What can (or will) you do to enhance or increase that capability?

Furthermore, even if you didn't directly witness child abuse, but someone who works under you in an organization reports child abuse to you, you now have an even bigger duty than they do (proportionate to your power in the organization) to report it and follow through.
I'm really disturbed by the many comment's I've seen that the graduate assistant who witnessed the alleged abuse should face criminal charges for not reporting, but Paterno should get his job back.
Yes, the graduate assistant should have keep pressing the matter and reported the police, but the higher up this went, the more the negligence was compounded.
- J9 said...
This is really the heart of it for me:
"When a child alleges sex abuse our reaction should be to encourage and support that child in whatever manner we can. Getting pissed off at the child because their sex abuse is going to get in the way of a body's college fucking football fan experience is downright macabre."
- SimplyStated said...
And you know how you make an even bigger statement? You shut this football program down. Right now.
If the NCAA can wipe out wins and take away championships because someone got a free car or was living in a house rent free...they can damn well hit this school's football program with the death penalty. That will reinforce that you do the right thing completely when faced with a situation of this magnitude. You don't do just enough to say "I followed the rules" and you don't report something and then walk away and figure it's now somebody's else's problem.Joe Paterno may have done the "right thing" as it's laid out in the coaches manual but in the big book of life he failed as a father, grandfather and husband. And he failed as an adult human being to come to the aid of a child in need. And there is no excuse for that. None. To the Penn State fans who rioted...you just cost your school even more bad juju. Cause if I'm an employer and see on your resume you went to Penn State...I now have some real, hard and serious questions about your morals and maturity.

thank you. excellent post.

When I was a little, I have sexually abused by somebody I don't know in the elevator and I can''t still get rid of the memory from my head. I still feel fear when I use elevator and yes it is trauma.
Thank you for sharing your idea and it was great!!
By the way, this is a new blog about social justice please check this out!!

PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - A jury was empanelled on Friday to hear the trial of a Somali-born man charged with trying to blow up a crowd of people at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Oregon two years ago with a fake bomb supplied by undercover agents posing as militant Islamists.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was 19 when he was arrested, faces life in prison on a single charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in a plot to blow up the 2010 festivities at a public plaza in downtown Portland.
An FBI affidavit filed in the case said Mohamud was taken into custody after he attempted to use a cell phone to trigger what he believed was a car bomb but was actually a fake device supplied by agents posing as operatives for Islamic extremists.
The phony bomb was planted in a downtown square lined with shops and offices and crowded with thousands of people attending the annual tree-lighting ceremony. But officials said the public was never in any danger.
Court documents describe a months-long undercover operation staged by the FBI. Undercover agents emailed and met with Mohamud multiple times and eventually provided him with a van laden with what he thought was a bomb.
The defendant, now 21, has spent more than two years in jail as lawyers wrangled over evidence, witnesses and court procedures. Jury selection in the case began on Thursday and was completed by midday Friday.
U.S. District Judge Garr King gave instructions to the newly seated 12 jurors and four alternates, and opening arguments were slated to begin on Friday afternoon.
Mohamud has pleaded not guilty and defense attorneys are expected to mount an entrapment defense, arguing that the former Oregon State University student would never had committed such an act without the FBI's grooming and urging.
"The only defense they can really mount is entrapment," said Tung Yin, a professor at Lewis & Clark Law School, adding that this would be a difficult approach. "We've seen this defense with other, similar cases and none have succeeded."
Mohamud's arrest was one of several sting operations in recent years in which individuals were tracked by undercover FBI agents and later tried to detonate fake bombs in various locations.
Yin said some defendants in similar cases have pleaded guilty to lesser charges or were found guilty. But he also noted that Portland jury pools are seen as more liberal than in other areas of the country and more skeptical of the government.
"If you get just two or three people like that, then the government can't convict. It will be a hung jury," Yin said. "If entrapment (defense) is ever going to succeed, it will be in this case."
The defendant's young age and the fact that he was alone and there were at least two experienced undercover operatives assigned to him might also work in his favor, Yin said.
An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment, citing the pending case. Senior FBI agent Arthur Balizan said at the time of Mohamud's arrest that the potential threat posed was real and that the investigation showed he "was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has also dismissed the notion that Mohamud was a victim of government entrapment, saying that he "at every turn decided that he wanted to continue." The U.S. Attorney's office declined to comment on the case ahead of the trial.
The Muslim community has been watching the case closely.
"We're concerned about genuine plots to harm Americans and we hope each and every one of them is foiled," said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"But we are also concerned that they are focusing so many resources on people who would never have committed a crime, that they are diverting resources to foil actual lone wolf plots," he added.

Courtesty of Tina Springer and Max Powers who researched this subject tirelessly. This very small list is but a mere fraction of the sources that we've discovered, and is intended for those who are either new to this subject or those who at least have the common sense to see that christianity is not original but just couldn't find the damning evidence to verify it.
The egyptians deified the sun as a trinity of gods -- Osiris, the Father, Horus, the Son, and Ra, the Highest Sun -- each corresponding to at least one of the sun's 3 key positions throughout the day. Osiris represented the *setting* sun, and is reborn as horus, the *rising* sun. Ra, who alone represented the *mid-day* sun completes the trinity as "RaHorakty" (translates to "Ra who is Horus of the Two Horizons") the conflation of all three gods and positions of the sun. "Horakty", meaning horus of the two horizons indicate that the egyptians regarded the son as also being the father. This is why throughout the pyramid texts and book of the dead Horus and Osiris are frequently interchangeable.
Pyramid Texts Utterance 77

52b. Thou who art on the forehead of Horus, put thyself on the forehead of this N. (pharoah)

Utterance 556
1382f "this hour of the ---THIRD DAY--- comes, where the father Osiris will be reborn as horus, at the place where the gods are born..."
According to the Ikhernofret Stela (2000 BC) translated by Richard H. Wilkinson, Osiris' Death and Resurrection was celebrated in a 5 day festival known as the "Passion Plays". He is entombed on the 2nd day, and remains so until the 4th day (3 DAYS). Afterwards, on the 5th day, he is reborn AT DAWN. This is why Horus represented the sun's *rising* position, whereas Osiris represented the sun's *setting* position; Horus is symbolic of Osiris' resurrection/rebirth.
The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts (Translated by R.O Faulkner)
"You are this LONE STAR that comes forth from the EAST of the sky, and who will surrender himself to Horus of the Netherworld..."
The Second Story of Khamuas (Griffith, F. LI, Stories of the High Priests of Memphis; The Sethon of Herodotus and the Demotic Tales of Khamuas)
"Si-Osiris (revealed to be Horus, son of Paneche). "Numerous are the marvels that he shall do in Egypt.."
"...I would cast my magic up to Egypt that I might cause the peope of Egypt to pass three days and nights without seeing light except kiki"
"I will not remove my spell, until you have sworn an oath to me not to return up to Egypt."
..."Now when the boy Si-Osiris (son of Osiris) had attained -- 12 YEARS -- it came to pass that there was no [good scribe or learned man] that rivalled him in reading and writing that compels."
In two official translations of the Pyramid Texts Horus is said to have walked on water or is referred to as "LAKE STRIDER"
The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts, James P. Allen 118, 154
The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts, R. O. Faulkner Pg 192
The Book of Gates
Chapter 3
The Gate of Saa-Set
The Second Division of Tuat
Note: Ra was a solar deity representing the sun's *mid-day* position while Horus represented the sun's *rising* position. By the time of the Book of Gates, Ra had already merged with Horus to represent both positions. In the texts Ra is traversing the underworld in a boat, and in the pyramid texts, it states very clearly that when Horus enters the boat he becomes Ra.
The Book of Gates states: "The 12 worshippers of Ra/Horus who are at peace...They who praised Ra/Horus upon Earth...They who spoke Truth upon Earth (On Ra/Horus' behalf)..."They who UTTERED WORDS OF POWER (exorcism) against Apep, the serpent...and have vanquished Apep for me"
jesus' 12 followers are referred to as "apostles". An apostle is one sent forth as a messenger; one SPREADING TRUTH. According to Matthew 10:1, jesus' apostles also exorcised demonic spirits in his name.
In Chapter 5 of the Book of Gates, Horus is mentioned as having ANOTHER group of 12 in his service, to who he tells "Live delicatley on the BREAD of HU, and drink ye the Ale of Maat". This ale is later referred to as the "Tchesert Drink" which translates to "Divine Drink".
This concept is reworked in the NT when jesus, at the Eucharist, offers the 12 apostles his body in the form of BREAD and his divine blood in the form of WINE.
Book of Gates
Chapter 5
The Gate of Tchetbi
Fourth Division of Tuat
Note: Again, in the Book of Gates Ra is Ra-Horakty (Ra who is Horus of the two Horizons: the sun traveling from one horizon to the other.)
The 12 double headed/jackal headed gods say unto Ra/Horus: -- " Immerse thyself, O Ra, in the holy lake wherein the lord of the gods immersed himself, whereunto the souls of the dead approach not; this is what thou thyself hast commanded. O KHUTI... Their food consisteth of -----BREAD...their vessels are filled with WINE-----
1. "In Egypt the epiteths dd.t, rnn.t and hwn.t, 'girl; young woman; VIRGIN', are applied to many goddesses -- e.g Hathor and ISIS WHO HAD NOT HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE"
- Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible by Karel van der Toorn PhD, Bob Becking PhD, Pieter W. van der Horst PhD, Erik Hornung PhD, Hans Dieter Betz PhD, Andre Caquot PhD, Jonas C Greenfield PhD, Michael E Stone PhD, Manfred Weipert PhD
2. In a text in the Abydos Temple of Seti 1, Isis herself declares: "I am the great VIRGIN"
3. Among the glyphs of Denderah, is the depiction of the *non-physiscal* intercourse between Isis and Osiris. The glyphs show Isis sending out her Bah, Sothis (a hawk), the hawk being inseminated on Osiris' phallus, and then returning back to Isis. Because the sex between Isis and Osiris was non-physical, her virginity wasn't compromised.
The inseminated bird now flies back to Isis
4. It is a well known fact that the greek religion is but a mirror of the egyptian religion e.g Dionysis is actually Osiris, Typhon is actually Set, Hermes is actually Thoth, etc. With that said, the glyph for Virgo is a Virgin holding WHEAT (Bread) and CORN (Spica) as Virgo is the constellation of HARVEST, and this is how the Egyptians depicted Isis:
"Lady of GREEN CROPS, Lady of BREAD, Lady of Abundance..." -- Egyptian Book of the Dead
"It is Sirius (Isis) the beloved daughter, who provides the YEARLY SUSTENANCE (flooding of the Nle for crops) for you in her name of "Year" -- Pyramid Texts
"Sirius (Isis) opener of the Year's flood"
All of the above depictions of Isis refer to Harvest, which is exactly why the Greeks designated their constellation of harvest a VIRGIN.
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a TREE" (Gal 3:13)
"Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the TREE, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto rightieousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24)
"The god of our father raised up, who ye slew and hanged on a TREE." (Acts 5:30)
"And we are witnesses of all the things which jesus did both in the land of the jews, and in Jerusalem; who ye slew and hanged on a TREE" (Acts 10:39)
"And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took jesus down from the TREE and laid him in a sepulchre." (Acts 13:29)
Note: Crucifixion, before it had become exclusive to christian context, meant a display or spectacle on a cross, pole, or tree either by execution or symbolic imagery See here: http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Qur...l/crucify.html
The relief from the Egyptian Book of the Dead shows Horus spectacled in cruciform (arms outstretched) on the combination of the Ankh Cross and Djed Pillar/TREE TRUNK containing his dead body...osiris' body. The two sisters, Isis-Meri and Nephtys-Meri are at the feet of the figure, just as the two sister Marys in john 19:25. The Ankh Cross represents the Eternal Life that Horus/Osiris achieves through death.
In numerous biblical verses, jesus is said to have died on a tree while tradition holds that it happened on a CROSS. This tree/cross discrepancy, is not really a discrepancy, but rather an accomodation of both the DJED and ANKH, forming the combination in jesus' myth.
Revelations 22:16
"I, jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright ---MORNING STAR--
Egyptian Book of the Dead Chapter 109 "I know the souls of the easterners, they are Horakhty (horus of the horizons), the sun calf, and the ---MORNING STAR--

(John Gardener Wilkinson, Manner and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians, III)

Like christians, the ancient egyptians went by the belief that the son-of-god was the "way" to immortality or eternal life. The ankh cross, which was the cardinal religious symbol in egypt, just as it is in christianity, represented the eternal life that Horus achieved for himself and his followers.
Death and salvation in ancient Egypt - Page 38 Jan Assmann
"Horus, the son, was responsible for the aspect of redemption from death."
On Page 58
"I am one of you, Salvation from Death through inclusion."
Page 127:
"The deceased owes his redemption from death to the grace of the god (Osiris) who recognises him as his peer and receives him into his kingdom"
Page 115
"What was important was for Osiris to go to the Netherworld and remain there. Only thus in the realm of death, could he become the center of a sphere of eternal life that held out the promise of salvation from the realm of death and the promise of eternal life for every deceased person who followed him. Salvation and Eternal life are Christian concepts, and we might think that the Egyptian myth can all too easily be viewed through the lens of Christian tradition. Quite the contrary, in my opinion, Christian myth is itself thoroughly stamped by Egyptian Tradition, by the myth of Isis and Osiris, which from the very beginning had to do with salvation and eternal life."
In short, Zeitgeist was more than 100 percent correct -- there's even more parallels between these religions than shown in zeitgeist -- and Richard Carrier and Robert Price can both go f*&^ themselves.

Very good write up of this info Horus!
Indeed. ; )
It's common knowledge since Zeitgeist 1. popularized Acharya S's concepts. But thanks for the details anyway :)
The details are what constitute the validity in the assertion. I would like to think that this was common knowledge amongst 90 percent of Americans, but I do not, because it is not.
This is the problem, Boci: www.zeitgeistchallenge.com/. These guys don't find Acharya's work to be adequate in substantiating the claims of zeitgeist.
Gina, the man at the ZG challenge is a fundamentalist Christian, I have contacted him with my research 2 times and he keeps telling me that it is in the "wrong format" so they wont accept it. Once it was in video format, the other time it was in written format.
I could care less what they think of Acharya's work, I just want them to actually debunk it and not just say "no it ain't". That isn't debunking, that is denial.
I've read a lot of Acharya's work, and have learned from her, but for the most part, I find her to be a bit too self-serving for my taste.
Carrier is actually coming around to mythicism! lol
That's what SHE said.
Whenever I want to comfort someone, I always reach for my rod and staff.
