There is yet another way that speech sound development can be relatively predictable. As I discussed in Speech Sounds and Kids: Part 1, most children will find the following sounds pretty easy to say: vowels, p, m, h, n, w, b, t, d. Children generally go from not producing these sounds at all to, well, producing them. There is no real development of these sounds, per se. They're just suddenly there one day.
But what about the other sounds? The one that are harder, like k, g, f, v, "ng" y, r, l, s, "ch," "sh," j, "th" and "zh"? Some of these sounds don't develop until kids are into their preschool years. Can you imagine if children just left these sounds out of their speech until they were able to say them? We'd never know what kids were saying at all! And yet by age 3, most children are nearly 80% intelligible (if not more). How does this happen? It turns out that children make highly predictable and very systematic errors when they are producing these harder speech sounds-- so predicatable and so systematic, in fact, that most adults are able to "decode" their speech without even knowing they are doing it. It's only when speech sound errors deviate from the norm or are very unpredictable that we really struggle to understand kids-- and this is when speech therapy is often needed.
Without further ado, then, here are the some of the most common "phonological processes" (the systematic and predictable speech sound errors made by children) that many children will use as they develop speech.
- Fronting: Fronting happens when children produce sounds that should be made in the back of their mouth in the front of their mouth instead. Make the sounds /k/ and /g/. Feel how the back of your tongue hits the back of roof of your mouth? Now make the sound /t/ and /d/. Notice how now it's the front of your tongue that hits the front of roof of your mouth? /k/ and /g/ are made in the back of your mouth while /t/ and /d/ are made in the front. Kids frequently "front" /k/ and /g/ by substituting /t/ and /d/. Go becomes doe, key is tee, and cookie might be tuhtee. Fronting usually disappears by the age of three.
- Stopping: Stopping occurs when children stop air from moving continuously out their mouths. Make the sound /f/ and keep it going. Feel how a stream of air flows between your teeth and lips? Now say the /p/ sound. You should notice that there is a small burst of air for the "p" sound rather than a stream of air. You couldn't keep /p/ going if you tried. You can keep the air going, but the /p/ is over with the second you stop the air slightly with your lips and then release it. Stopping occurs when children stop the air from flowing freely. /f/ and /v/ become /p/ and /b/ so that fan becomes "pan" and video becomes "bideo," while /s/ and /z/ become /t/ and /d/ so that sun becomes tun and "zip" becomes "dip." Stopping also affects the sounds "sh" "ch" and "th." Kids usually stop stopping (ha ha) between the ages of 3.5 and 5, depending on the sound they are trying to stop stopping (okay, now I'm just getting punchy).
- Consonant Sequence Reduction (CSR): CSR occurs when children "reduce" (make smaller) a consonant sequence (a series of consonants in a row). They simply leave out one of the consonants, usually the harder one. Stop becomes top, blue becomes boo, and green becomes geen. This tends to get better around 3.5-4 years of age.
- Gliding: Gliding occurs when children make "r" and "l" sounds into "w". "Road" becomes "woad" and "lamp" becomes "wamp." I'm not even going to attempt to explain the mechanics behind this one, mainly because I really hate /r/ sounds. I'm a pretty good speech therapist, but the /r/ sound gets me every time. Anyway. Suffice it to say that this error pattern usually disappears sometime during the school age years (and that if it doesn't, you shouldn't come see me.).
If you are concerned about your child's speech,don't worry too much about trying to figure out what he's doing. Instead, check out the intelligibility guidelines and speech sound development ages in Speech Sounds and Kids: Part 1; if your child doesn't meet the criteria, it's probably easiest to talk to your pediatrician about a referral to a speech therapist. If you're just the curious type, though, step back and listen to your little one-- see if you can pick up on any of the above patterns in his speech. If you hear them, consider yourself well on your way to being an amateur speech-language therapist.

4-8-12 PNC Park
I got to PNC Park at around 10:45 AM, and the Pirates were already hitting. Such an early start meant that both teams would likely take batting practice. Sunday day games have always been a bit different, because there's no season ticket holder time. The Riverwalk opens at 11 AM (2.5 hours early), and the bullpen to the lower seating bowl always opens at 11:30 AM. The rest of the gates open at noon. It's always been done that way.
This Sunday was different.
Security came out at 10:50 AM, right on time and checked bags and unlocked the gates. However, no ticket scanners or gate supervisors showed up.
The gate supervisor showed a little bit before 11:30, and the gates to the Riverwalk opened at 11:30, that's 2 hours before first pitch.
I went to the Pirates A to Z guide (link) and lifted this little nugget:
GATES OPEN Gates open one and one half hours (1 1/2) prior to game time (Monday through Sunday) and two hours on Opening Day. The Riverwalk will open two (2) hours before weekday (Monday-Friday) games and two and one half hours (2 1/2) prior to weekend (Saturday-Sunday) games.
Somone messed up. Maybe the A to Z guide isn't current. But since bags were checked at 10:50 AM by security, and the gates unlocked ( then security left for 20 minutes, then came back at 11:30) makes me believe that not everyone is on the same page. Hopefully this gets ironed out because otherwise attending Sunday games aren't really worth it for ballhawks.
It ended up basically ruining BP. We missed all of the Pirates and almost all of the Phillies BP.
I stood here during the Phillies portion of BP from 11:30-noon.
Since it was the only vantage point to watch BP for a half hour, there were lots of fans standing around in this spot. Three home run balls hit nearby, but I couldn't get close enough to any of them. One of them I should've caught, but I was out of position attempting to reach a ball that was inside the gate with the Cleveland stick. It was out of reach anyhow.
When the park finally opened at noon, I went to center field and found two baseballs. The ushers are being kind and not confiscating all of the balls. Since I got the only two balls in the section, the usher asked me if I could give one to an elderly ballhawk, which I did.
After finding the balls in center field, I searched right field, but found nothing, so I spent the only 10-15 minutes of batting practice that I got to see in left field.
Of course it was super crowded.
Besides the two Easter Eggs, I got nothing else.
Here's today's baseball (one pictured because the other was given away):
2012 Stats:
Game: 2 balls
Season: 27 balls
Lifetime: 1,571 balls

ERP System a Data-Laden Backbone to Support Rapid Growth
|The 30,000-sq.ft. Apex Skypark manufacturing plant performs some fabricating operations, including arc welding shown here, to build and assemble substructures for its robotic parking garages.
"We took the parent company, Apex Design Technology (a manufacturing supplier to the aerospace industry) from 12 employees and expanded it to 130 employees in five years. Similarly, we expect to grow Skypark from a $10 million company with 20 current employees to a $100 million company with 50 employees in the next five years," says Gallagher. "With JobBoss as a primary part of the infrastructure (at both companies), we can do that without sacrificing quality or reliability to our customers, thanks to the visibility management can get from the ERP system into the complete operations of the company. The system affords us controlled, yet rapid growth with data from the operations as the backbone of that growth."
Managing Data from Within and from Suppliers
Robotic parking garages comprise several subsystems that Apex Skypark either fabricates itself, in a 30,000-sq.-ft. shop, or subcontracts out to its supply base. Subsystems include entry and exit modules, robotic trolley assemblies and cargo-style elevators. One garage, for example, scheduled to be erected in Dubai later this year, will have 1288 parking spaces and includes 26 robot trolleys, six entry modules and six exit modules, and four elevators.
"We might have parts coming into our plant from dozens of different vendors, as well as subassemblies being processed at 10 different vendors and another 10 to 15 different operations being performed on our floor at one time," Gallagher says. "The ERP system allows us to see it all—what's coming in, what's going out, and what's already here."
JobBoss supports every facet of Skypark's operations, from quoting to shipping, including shop-floor scheduling, tracking and materials purchasing. Its fabrication shop performs operations including plasma-arc cutting, welding and machining, but a lot of fabrication is outsourced to local shops.
"Everyone in our facility—15 production-floor workers and another five office employees—reports to JobBoss," Gallagher says. "We have desktop computers running the software in the offices and two terminals out on the floor. And the more accurate the data they input the more accurate our estimates can be, whether we're looking at costs or schedules."
JIT Purchasing Helps with Cash Flow
Relatively speaking, "Skypark's projects are huge, and require a lot of cash payout at the front end," adds Dave Lechleitner, JobBoss' senior product expert. "So, cash management and just-in-time materials purchasing is critical. JobBoss lets Skypark know precisely when to order and schedule delivery of its raw materials." Once a bill of materials has been created and a job schedule developed, the software links the materials requirements to the operation they are required for. "We immediately know what the due date for that material should be," Gallagher says, "and when to order it and bring it in, based on when it will be needed on the shop floor."
Gallagher is more than just the typical JobBoss user—he's the Southern California user-group leader for JobBoss. "He's not just a user," says Lechleitner, "Todd is a partner. As such, he has helped us, in the 11 years he's been using the software (for Apex Design Technology) develop new modules and functionality."
One area of software development
ShopStats tracks data in four key areas—orders, production, vendor activities and financial reports. Hyperlinked data allow the owner or manager to monitor these key areas in real time.
Also included is a cash-flow tool, which lets Gallagher look forward at Skypark's cash position, taking into account traditional accounting information such as accounts payables and receivables, but also evaluating how manufacturing data might affect cash flow. Are there, for example, orders on the books that haven't shipped? And, when the orders do ship, how is cash flow affected? Are there expenses such as material or outside services associated with projects affecting cash flow, even if a purchase order has yet to be issued?
"Without one integrated software system managing and updating the data," says Gallagher, "data are stored separately and people spend a lot of time updating the data in each place. Our growth curve will require that I can immediately get snapshots of where we're at, so I can see how many jobs are on the floor, what the utilization rate of each work center is and if the work centers are over- or under-booked. This helps me manage and manipulate the workforce."
Advanced Scheduling Functionality
Gallagher also takes advantage of an add-on advanced-scheduling module to JobBoss, offered by Exact Software, called ShopBoss. "It's a visual scheduler," says Lechleitner, "that lets Todd view graphically his shop's load versus capacity at any given time."
"ShopBoss also lets me know, during the quoting stage of a job, if I can take on more work," continues Gallagher. "It will show me what has to happen in the shop in order to take on another job, where we need to adjust. With the click of a mouse, I can add resources, move people in and out of work centers, and increase or decrease the work hours dedicated to a job."
Gallagher describes how ShopBoss helped him respond to a customer request. "We had just supplied the customer with a production schedule, and it had made plans to visit our facility to witness acceptance testing of one of its assemblies. Then, the customer called and asked if it could schedule its visit a few days earlier.
"Using ShopBoss, I went into the schedule and, with just a few mouse clicks, quickly moved all of the production dates forward a few days. I was able to simply designate a nonwork day (Saturday) as a work day, and that automatically pulled everything into place. Without the ShopBoss functionality, we might have needed to generate 100 to 150 new travelers out on the shop floor. To manipulate each one by hand would have been a ton of work."
Quality Tracking
Finally, Gallagher describes how the JobBoss quality module has helped one company achieve quality registration, and will soon help the newer company get there.
"The quality module helps us quickly and accurately record rework and scrap, and perform our internal and external audits," he says. "We can track the costs associated with improving quality, costs of rework, identify trends, and determine, for example, if a certain work center or team of employees is having specific problems.
"It helped us efficiently become AS 9100 registered at Apex Design Technology," adds Gallagher, "and will soon help us reach ISO registration at Skypark." MF

Biblical patriarch ID'd in hieroglyphs, depiction of cow linked to pharoah's dream
Egyptian coins carrying the name of Joseph, the biblical patriarch whose arrival in Egypt as a slave eventually provided salvation for his family during decades of drought across the Middle East, have been discovered in a cache of antique items shelved in boxes in a museum, according to a new report.
The report from the Middle East Media Research Institute said the coins with Joseph's name and image were found in a pile of unsorted artifacts that had been stored at the Museum of Egypt.
MEMRI, which monitors and translates reports from Middle East publications and broadcasters, said the original report was in Egypt's Al Ahram newspaper in Cairo.
The newspaper said the discovery countered claims by some historians that coins were not used for trade in Egypt at the time the Bible records Joseph and the Jews migrated there.
Those historians have argued that trade was done by barter.
Get the Adams Chart of History and Annals of the World Casebound Bundle
But researchers told the newspaper the minting dates of the coins in the cache have been matched to the period in which Joseph was recorded to be in Egypt.
"A thorough examination revealed that the coins bore the year in which they were minted and their value, or effigies of the pharaohs [who ruled] at the time of their minting. Some of the coins are from the time when Joseph lived in Egypt, and bear his name and portrait," said the newspaper report.
The report carried an explanation of the discovery by a team involving researcher Sa'id Muhammad Thabet:
"Studies by Dr. Thabet's team have revealed that what most archeologists took for a kind of charm, and others took for an ornament or adornment, is actually a coin. Several [facts led them to this conclusion]: first, [the fact that] many such coins have been found at various [archeological sites], and also [the fact that] they are round or oval in shape, and have two faces: one with an inscription, called the inscribed face, and one with an image, called the engraved face – just like the coins we use today," said the report.
The newspaper called the find "unprecedented" and said, "The researchers discovered the coins when they sifted through thousands of small archeological artifacts stored in [the vaults of] the Museum of Egypt."
The Egyptian newspaper noted that the Quran indicates clearly "that coins were used in Egypt in the time of Joseph."
The report continued, "Research team head Dr. Sa'id Muhammad Thabet said that during his archeological research on the Prophet Joseph, he had discovered in the vaults of the [Egyptian] Antiquities Authority and of the National Museum many charms from various eras before and after the period of Joseph, including one that bore his effigy as the minister of the treasury in the Egyptian pharaoh's court…"
The report continued, "According to Dr. Thabet, his studies are based on publications about the Third Dynasty, one of which states that the Egyptian coin of the time was called a deben and was worth one-fourth of a gram of gold. This coin is mentioned in a letter by a man named Thot-Nehet, a royal inspector of the Nile bridges. In letters to his son, he mentioned leasing lands in return for deben-coins and agricultural produce."
The report explained that other texts from the Third, Sixth and Twelfth Dynasties also talk about coins.
"The archeological finding is also based on the fact that the inscribed face bore the name of Egypt, a date, and a value, while the engraved face bore the name and image of one of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs or gods, or else a symbol connected with these. Another telling fact is that the coins come in different sizes and are made of different materials, including ivory, precious stones, copper, silver, gold, etc." the newspaper reported.
The museum research uncovered 500 of the coins "carelessly" stored in boxes.
One even had the image of a cow "symbolizing Pharaoh's dream about the seven fat cows and seven lean cows, and the seven green stalks of grain and seven dry talks of grain," the report said.
"Joseph's name appears twice on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by Pharaoh when he became treasurer. There is also an image of Joseph, who was part of the Egyptian administration at the time," the report said.

I got my shipping notice. Looks like mine will arrive on Monday.
Mine just arrived! The armor is pretty cool...a very hard plastic and good detail. The head sculpt is a great AOTC Obi-Wan likeness. It does come with extra hands as well as an ignited and ignited lightsabers and the exclusive is really clever. Cmdr Rex's hologram is actually attached to an extra gauntlet...I originally thought he would clip onto it.I have it set up holding the ignited lightsaber in his left hand and right arm up like he's listening to Cmdr Rex's report. Nice addition to my Sideshow/Medicom shelf.
I got my General Kenobi yesterday and finally opened him today. I am impressed with this offering. I only have two real complaints - I think the eyes (or perhaps the whole face) is a bit too "shiny" and it makes him seem glassy-eyed. My second complaint is cosmetic - my figures left thigh pad has a big brown smudge on it. I may look at emailing Sideshow and see if they can replace it.Things I like - I love all the interchangeable hands and guantlet (exclusive version). I think they way they did the jump suit under the armor is just great!! All, in all, I give this figure a solid A-

Oct. 11 Mike Matheny postgame interview
Q. Can you just take us through the decision to go to Lynn there in the ninth instead of Motte?
MIKE MATHENY: Well, being on the road if we were at home, it would have been a very easy decision to bring in Motte. We are looking at a team that had every save of our season by Jason Motte, and we take a lead there at any point, you're asking one of our guys, especially one of our young guys, who have never been in that situation to come in and close out a game, and that's a lot to ask.
But had a lot of confidence in Lance. He came in throwing the ball well. Werth just put together a very good at bat.
Q. How do you bounce back from a loss like this?
MIKE MATHENY: Just like all year. We've had a very large amount of heartbreakers this year, and I think that's really been used to develop the character of this team and the resiliency. These guys realize that we've got an opportunity to come back and play another game. They do shed it pretty quick.
So it's a tough one, but still alive to play another game.
Q. Can you talk about the starting performances, both for your pitcher and for the Nationals today?
MIKE MATHENY: Yeah, both of them did a great job. I can speak for our guy. I've watched Kyle Lohse do that all season long. He's been a big game pitcher and he's been a great leader with a few other guys on our team as far as our staff goes. From day one Opening Day, he's just done a terrific job of taking advantage of the opportunities and has put together a solid season, and we knew he was going to give us a chance. That's all we can ask, and he did that today.
Q. Was the strike zone a topic of discussion in the dugout?
MIKE MATHENY: Usually like every night.
Q. Any different?
MIKE MATHENY: No.

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the white blood cells that is most commonly found in adults and in the elderly. Its incidence has been estimated to be 1 to 2 in 100,000 people. CML was the first cancer to be associated with a genetic abnormality, known as the Philadelphia Chromosome, which 95% of all CML patients carry in their cells.
The Philadelphia Chromosome is formed by exchanges of material belonging to two distinct chromosomes, number 9 and number 22. To form the Philadelphia Chromosome, these two chromosomes break at very specific places, disrupting the BCR (in chromosome 22) and the ABL (in chromosome 9) genes that were otherwise normal. Juxtaposition of these two genes in the Philadelphia Chromosome creates an abnormal kinase tyrosine known as BCR/ABL, which is an enzyme associated with cell regulation. The Philadelphia Chromosome is associated with loss of cell control and presence of immortal cells, which leads to cancer.
In the 1990s, ST1-571 (known as imatinib or Gleevec), a new inhibitor of kinase tyrosine, was developed and tested against CML cells. Since then, the drug has been used as the first line of treatment in many patients, increasing survival rates and improving patients' quality of life. However, some patients develop resistance to the drug, which has fostered development of novel drugs that act on alternative sites on the BCR/ABL enzyme.
Aiming to gain in-depth knowledge about the mechanisms involved in ABL control in normal cells, a group led by Dr. Jerson Silva at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil used small angle X-ray scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, and confocal microscopy to investigate the dynamics of the entire ABL regulatory unit. The study shows that activation of the protein releases intramolecular interactions between a regulatory unit found in the N-terminal region of the ABL, the so-called N Cap, and a number of molecular modules, and pushes ABL to anchor on the cell membrane. The whole complex undergoes motions lasting micro- to milliseconds that ultimately result in the death of the cell.
The study also reveals that changes in the N-terminal region, or its absence, are associated with the entire cell escaping apoptosis, the mechanism responsible for cell death. With no apoptosis, cells become immortal and cancer strikes.
The finding has major implications for CML research as it has been known for some time that CML cells are resistant to apoptosis and that, unlike their normal counterparts, they are not found anchored to the cell membrane but loose in the cell cytoplasm. According to Guilherme A. P. de Oliveira, the first author of the study, "our findings indicate that the ABL regulatory unit is involved with the right localization of the enzyme in the cell, dictating the fate of the cell."
The results also gain further importance in the light of recent studies showing that ABL kinases have enhanced expression and activity in some solid tumors.

The Historical Unreliability of Jesus: A Review of Robert VanVoorst's Jesus Outside The New Testament
The Historical Unreliability of Jesus: A Review of Robert VanVoorst's Jesus Outside The New Testament
by Sarah Schoonmaker
Robert VanVoorst's Jesus Outside the New Testament claims to provide evidence for Jesus' life, death, and resurrection from non-Christian historians and Jewish writings. Jesus Outside the New Testament refers to the following classical writers in order to defend the historical reliability of Jesus: Thallos, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, Tacitus, and Josephus. The purpose of this review is to address the historical writers that remain lauded as evidence for the historical Jesus and demonstrate how they all fail to bolster any historical support for Christianity.
VanVoorst points to Thallos as the earliest reference to Jesus set in the middle of the first century 55 C.E. Most of Thallos' works perished, but was quoted by Sextus Julius Africanus, a Christian writer in his History of the World. This book was eventually lost, but the quote originating with Thallos was also mentioned by Byzantine historian, Georgius Syncellus. According to Syncellus, when Julius Africanus writes about the darkness of the death of Jesus, he mentions that, "Thallos calls this an eclipse of the sun, which seems to be wrong."[i] Julius claims that the darkness was miraculous, "a darkness induced by God." Even though Thallos could have mentioned the eclipse with no reference to Jesus, VanVoorst claims that it is more likely that Julius who had access to the context of Thallos' quotation was correcting Thallos as a "hostile reference to Jesus' death."[ii] For instance, VanVoorst concludes, "if Thallos was simply writing about an eclipse, Julius Africanus would not have cared to say that Thallos was mistaken."[iii]
In logic, when an argument against a particular view is offered, one mentions the claim under refutation, followed by premises and a conclusion. If Thallos were arguing against the claim that the eclipse was associated with the death of Jesus, he would have mentioned this event. However, there is no reference to Jesus, so therefore, one cannot conclude that it is even likely that Thallos was responding to a Christian claim about the "darkness induced by God" surrounding Jesus' death. VanVoorst's conclusion is a straw man fallacy because he creates an argument that Thallos does not claim to make. At best one may only infer that Thallos wrote about Jesus in his lost writings, but this is a massive assumption.
Pliny the Younger
As a prominent lawyer and senator in Rome, Pliny published nine books of letters between 100 and 109.[iv] He writes about punishment of Christians specifically by the Roman governor Trajan. Pliny also records that Christians would "sing hymns to Christ before dawn on a determined day and took oaths to refrain from theft, robbery, and adultery, not to break any promises, and not to withhold a deposit when reclaimed."[v]
Pliny also tells Trajan that, "many people of all classes, ages, and regions of his province are infected by this contagious superstition."[vi] VanVoorst credits this source fairly by claiming that Pliny's writings do not bear independent witness to Jesus independent of Christianity. "What is related about Christ confirms two points made in the New Testament: first, Christians worship Christ in their songs (Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:15-20; Rev. 5:11,13), and second, no Christian reviles or curses Christ (1 Cor. 12:3). Pliny, however, shows no knowledge of Christian writings in his letter."[vii]
Pliny bears witness to the practices of Christianity and the persecution from the government. However, he offers no contribution to the historical Jesus. As a result, he is equivalent to any other historian writing about Greek mythology. Just because a historian writes about a certain group worshipping a god or gods, this does not validate the existence of their god or gods.
The Roman writer Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (ca. 70-ca. 140) practiced law in Rome and was a friend of Pliny the Younger. He published a book Lives of the Caesars, which covers the lives and careers of the first twelve emperors, from Julius Caesar to Domitian.[viii] In the fifth section of Lives of the Caesars, Suetonius reports how emperor Claudius treated several people during his reign. The quote claimed to support Jesus Christ is as follows, "He (Claudius) expelled the Jews from Rome, since they were always making disturbances because of the instigator Chrestus."[ix]
VanVoorst claims that "Christus" often found confusion with "Chrestus," by non-Christians. Furthermore, the Codex Sinaiticus (fourth century) spells Christian with an -"eta" in all three New Testament occurrences of the word (Acts 11:26, 26:8; 1 Pet 4:16).[x] In particular, "Christians" were also referred to as "Chrestians." I find VanVoorst most convincing for the possibility of the connection to Jesus Christ when he claims that 'Chrestus' "does not appear among the hundreds of names of Jews recorded by the Roman catacomb inscriptions and other sources, yet was a familiar Gentile name. He concludes that this opens the door to the possibility that Suetonius may have confused Christus for Chrestus."[xi] On the contrary, Bart Ehrman notes that Suetonius is probably referencing an individual "Chrestus" and Jesus' followers, since Jesus of the Gospels was executed twenty years prior to the riots.[xii] My conclusion rests on the possibility of a reference to Jesus Christ here, however advances no farther than speculative evidence.
As a Roman historian, Tacitus is most famously known for the Annals, which covers the Roman Empire from 14-68 C.E. and includes information about the reign of Nero. He records Nero's probable arson of Rome in order to implement his own architectural designs and how he passed the blame to Christians as a ready scapegoat. As a result of this blame, Nero heatedly persecuted Christians and Tacitus wrote the following about this, "But neither human effort nor the emperor's generosity nor the placating of the gods ended the scandalous belief that the fire had been ordered. Therefore, to put down the rumor, Nero substituted as culprits and punished in the most unusual ways those hated for their shameful acts, whom the crowd called "Chrestians." The founder of this name, Christ, had been executed in the reign of Tiberius by the procurator Pontius Pilate."[xiii]
Indeed, emperor Nero used Christians as a scapegoat to explain the fire, which broke out in Rome (64 A.D.). Tacitus mentions that the Christians were likely not the cause of the fire, but used the fire as an excuse to persecute Christians. The Annals do not prove that Jesus Christ existed but merely that Christians existed in the First Century A.D., which no scholar has ever disputed. Since Tacitus recorded The Annals one hundred years after Jesus' proposed existence, this lacks historical reliability. It is important to remember that the negative evidence cited above is not "absence of evidence," but rather "evidence of absence." In science, negative evidence is often as important as positive evidence.
As a Jewish historian, Josephus briefly mentions Jesus two times in the Antiquities. Josephus mentions James "the brother of Jesus who is called Messiah" (Ant. 20.9.1). While Josephus does discuss many individuals with the name Jesus in the Antiquities, he does not refer to any of them as "Messiah." I believe this is a reference to the Jesus of the Gospels since no other Jesus was associated with "Messiah" or called by its definition, "the anointed one." While I grant this as a reference to Jesus of the Gospels, the credibility of this reference remains highly contestable.
For instance, Josephus' other reference has him professing faith in Jesus, calling him Messiah when Josephus never became a Christian in the first place. "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."
Since Christian scribes copied Josephus' writings through the Middle Ages, it is controversial whether his references to Jesus were altered or not. While Christians quote this passage as reliable evidence to Jesus' existence, teachings, and resurrection, these references did not show up in the writings of Josephus until centuries after his death, at the beginning of the fourth century. Thoroughly dishonest church historian Eusebius is credited as the real author. The passage is out of context, which points to text alteration. All scholars agree that Josephus, a Jew who never converted to Christianity, would not have called Jesus "the Christ" or "the truth," so the passage must have been doctored by a later Christian–evidence, by the way, that some early believers were in the habit of altering texts to the advantage of their theological agenda. The phrase "to this day" reveals it was written at a later time. Everyone agrees there was no "tribe of Christians" during the time of Josephus–Christianity did not get off the ground until the second century.
If Jesus were truly important to history, then Josephus should have told us something about him. Yet he is completely silent about the supposed miracles and deeds of Jesus. He adds nothing to the Gospel narratives and tells us nothing that would not have been known by Christians in either the first or fourth centuries. The paragraph mentions that the divine prophets foretold Jesus, but Josephus does not tell what they said or us who those prophets were. If Jesus had truly been the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy, then Josephus would have been the exact person to confirm it.

It's because the State Department just replaced "mother" and "father" with the gender-neutral terms "Parent 1" and "Parent 2." Uh-oh: political correctness is destroying America's families! Our documents will magically turn us all into same-sex married couples now.
Deputy assistant secretary of State for Passport Services Brenda Sprague says the new forms—slated for a February release—are only meant to reflect modern-day reality, which finds many loving, same-sex couples raising kids in happy, healthy homes. "[W]ith changes in medical science and reproductive technology ... we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago," she told Fox News. With the new forms, same-sex parents will no longer have to awkwardly put their names in fields that don't fit: dads won't have to put their names under "mother" when their partners have already claimed the "father" field, and moms won't have to list themselves as "father" when their partners have already taken "mother."
But this is bad, say folks like Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, because the forms will make gay people feel comfortable raising kids. As it so happens, Jeffress runs an anti-"War on Christmas" website called Grinch Alert. Maybe he should stop being a Grinch about America's passport forms.

Due to a presentation at #RootsTech 2014 by the authors of "Your Digital Afterlife," there have been some FamilySearch blog posts on the issue of "What Happens to Your Digital Assets After You Die?" There was also an Innovator Summit presentation by Chris Dancy (See interview above). I was very fascinated with Chris and found we had a lot more in common than I would have expected. I really enjoyed listening to him.
I have written on the topic of your digital estate in the past, but given the interest and posts from #RootsTech 2014, I guess it is time to go another round with problems and issues presented by digital assets.
My first reaction to all this about planning for your digital death is similar to my reaction to insurance salesmen and financial planners. They both make money by telling you that you need their services when you know that they will benefit from your "investment" or "purchase." The key to this whole issue is the statement made by the FamilySearch blog post by Lynn Broderick linked above. The post says,
Currently, less than half of states within the United States have digital asset laws established; some are just propositions and at least one law only provides partial coverage. Connecticut state law only governs the decedent's email.Whatever you have to say about this issue makes little or no sense without some sort of legal underpinnings that support all the platitudes. The key here and likely the reason why there is no legislation is simple: digital assets are assets. There is no need for special legislation just because someone has come up with new junk or stuff. The legal underpinnings are already well established and have been since antiquity. We do not have to reinvent the law every time there is a new gadget or whatever.
Here is the legal fact of death. When you die, any property you own and not previously transferred to someone or some other entity such as a Trust, becomes part of your "estate." Despite the innovative nature of digital possessions or assets, after all is said and done, they are just assets to a court. Just like real estate, cars, TVs or anything else. The main legal issues are notice to the heirs of the existence of these online assets and valuation. For all the sentimental value of a pile of photographs online or otherwise, unless someone can put a monetary value on the collection, the court (and probate law in general) could care less. It seems to me that absent some demonstrable value in the form of spendable cash, no one will ever take the assets serious. This is not to say that I haven't stood in court and argued over photo albums. Even with no monetary value, the sentimental value can be enormous.
OK, now this is the attitude of an old cranky attorney, but in the real world of genealogy, these online assets may be priceless. As I have written before, if we have an "estate plan" that includes a Trust, all that is really necessary is to provide the potential Trustee with access to the "online assets" in the form of passwords and logins. The Trust document likely already has some pour-over provisions saying that all the other and sundry property owned by the deceased is given to the Trust. There is really no need for special legislation or anything of that nature. Assets are assets. Even if the online assets only have sentimental value, they are still assets and fall into the same category as a lawnmower or a can of beans.
Basically, the issue revolves around the perception of the Trustee of the value of the online stuff. As with anything we really care about, it is good idea to take care of it before we die. Unfortunately, many people have a problem with this and are in denial about the need for "estate planning." I refer to a lot of this as junk planning. The question is who want your junk? After participating in a myriad of estates over the years, I have first hand experience with heirs and Trustees who throw everything in the dumpster.
In reading through the suggestions in the FamilySearch post, my opinion is that all of that is just fine if it make you feel better but there is no guarantee that the Trustee of your Trust or the Administrator (Personal Representative) of your estate will do any of the things you plan.
My point is this: take care of disposing, donating, archiving, transferring etc. before you pass on. Even if laws are passed that "take care of your digital estate" in the real world of law unless there is an actual perceived monetary value, no one will care including a judge. Laws or no laws. As long as there are lawyers like me who think of all this stuff as stuff, the law can't really do much to change what will happen.
Afterthought: Don't put your computer illiterate (or terminally stupid) heir in charge of your Trust and your digital estate if you really want anything done. Be sure the person you nominate has some computer and network savvy or the sense to hire someone who does. P.S Make sure your Trustee or Administrator doesn't tell the world through Facebook that you died until all of the online assets are secured. P.P.S. Don't you tell everyone you died through a post-mortem announcement until everything is taken care of.

Jono's heart flutters as someone else broaches the subject of his man being numero uno.
But seriously, with India's failure in the past three T20 WC, should Dhoni be replaced as captain at least in the t20 format for starters by Kohli ?
Kohli obviously being the long term (or maybe not so long term) successor in ODis and tests as well.
Making him the captain for the 2014 T20 world cup would certainly be a step to grooming him for the bigger roles.
Don't really see anyone else in the frame. Sehwag's is past his prime and Gambhir's total lack of form probably rules him out as well.
Thoughts ?

Victims & Witnesses Of Crimes
If you witness a crime
If you're a witness to a crime, you shouldn't be afraid to go the police or give evidence in court. There are laws and services to protect you. Find out what they are and how they can help you.
Reporting a crime
If a crime is underway or has just occurred, call 082911.
In non-emergency situations you should usually contact the local police in the area where the crime has taken place. You can either go to the nearest police station with a front office open to the public, or call the local police directly.
If you don't know which station to go to or to call, call your local force and ask them who to contact.
The officer answering your call will need to know:
- the exact location where police are needed
- why they are needed
- your own name, although you are not required to give it
- your telephone number
If you're afraid to come forward
If you've witnessed a crime, you may be feeling upset or worried. You may have doubts about coming forward to the police or giving evidence in court.
No law says you have to report a crime to the police or give evidence. But remember, by coming forward you could bring a criminal to justice. You could also stop the same thing happening to others.
You can contact Victim Support, a charity that helps victims and witnesses, for advice. You can talk things through with them and discuss your options with someone confidentially. Follow the link below to get in touch with them.
Giving your statement
Police may ask you to give a witness statement. This is a written or video-recorded account of what happened. It may be used as evidence in court, although normally witnesses who give evidence at a trial do so in person.
Children under 17, vulnerable adult witnesses and intimidated witnesses may have their statement video-recorded. However, in most cases the police officer will write an account of what you have said, which you will be asked to sign.
If the offence has just happened, officers may ask you to tour the area with them to help identify the perpetrator, or they may ask you to look at photographs to see if the crime suspect is a known criminal.
Once you have given your statement, you will be referred to a witness care officer. The witness care officer will help you if you have to go to court to give evidence.
Keeping your details private
The police will keep your details private. If you give a statement about a crime to the police, they will write down your address on the back of it. The defendant or their solicitor will only get a copy of the front, so they won't see where you live.
Witnesses are not usually asked to give their address out loud in court.
What happens after you report a crime committed against you
If you have been the victim of crime and reported the incident to the police, you have the right to know how the case is progressing. Find out what you can expect while the police are investigating the crime.
Reporting a crime
Reporting a crime will help the police catch the criminal, and could stop other people becoming victims of crime. The police will ask you to make a statement with details of the crime.
Finding out if the police can investigate the crime
Once you have reported a crime, the police will decide if they can investigate the case.
The police will tell you if they can't investigate within five days of you reporting the crime, and give you the reasons why.
If they do investigate, they will give you an update on the case at least once a month until it is closed.
Keeping in touch with the police
You will be given a crime reference number and the contact details of the police officer dealing with the incident. You'll need the reference number if you contact the police again or if you need to make an insurance claim.
You have a right to be kept informed, so you can ask for updates when you need them.
Phone the police if you remember anything else about the crime after you make your statement.
The police will be able to put you in touch with other groups that can help you, like Victim Support.
Telling the police how the crime has affected you
You can tell the police officer in your own words about how the crime has affected you. This is called a 'victim personal statement' and can include things like:
- the effect on your health, family or quality of life
- if you no longer feel safe
- if you want to claim compensation for an injury, loss or damage
Information from this statement can be used by the court when deciding how to punish the criminal.
How the police collect evidence
Investigations can be detailed and take a long time. The police will have to gather evidence to catch the criminal or prove the case against them. You may have to wait months before there is a breakthrough in the case.
Sadly, some cases are never solved. The police may not be able to catch the criminal or there may not be enough evidence to charge them.
The police may:
- get statements from witnesses
- interview suspects
- collect evidence from the scene of the crime, such as fingerprints or other forensic evidence
You may be asked to look at photos or an identity parade to pick out the offender. Many police stations have special rooms with one-way screens so you can view the identity parade without being seen.
If you have been hurt in an attack, the police will make sure you get medical help. This can be an upsetting experience, but remember that evidence from a medical check-up could be used to bring the attacker to justice.
Protection during the investigation
If you are at risk, or have been a victim a number of times, the police might be able take extra steps to protect you. This could involve:
- panic alarms
- increased police patrols
- around-the-clock surveillance
If you are harassed or threatened at any point then contact the police at once. It is a crime to intimidate (scare or bully) anyone helping the police with a case.
A court may be able to make a restraining order to stop someone coming near you – ask the police if you think you're at risk.
Protecting your privacy
To help with an investigation, the police might give the media certain details about your case. This is to find out if there are witnesses who could help them solve the crime. The police will normally ask your permission before giving out any information.
If you have been sexually attacked, it is against the law to publish your name, photo or other details which could identify you.
What happens at the end of the investigation?
The police will let you know within five days if someone is:
- arrested
- charged
- set free
- released on bail (let out under conditions)
- given a caution, reprimand, final warning, or penalty notice
If someone is charged with the crime
When the police have finished with an investigation, they will pass the case on to the Prosecution Service.
The Prosecution Service will decide if there is enough evidence to charge someone and take the case to court. They will take into account the effect of the crime has had on you when they decide if they should prosecute. They will tell you within five days if they decide to drop or alter the charge.

Vivienne Westwood is one of most fabulous and influential designers of all time. She was born on April 8, 1941 as Vivienne Isabel Swire. She taught primary school in North London. Vivienne's first husband was Derek Westwood. She had one son with Derek, named Ben, who later became a photographer.
Vivienne met Malcolm McLaren who was a friend of her brother. Malcolm and Vivienne became friends and Malcolm faked being sick for awhile to get Vivienne to take care of him and to be near her. Malcolm McLaren was the manager for the Sex Pistols and Vivienne designed the clothing for the band. Vivienne Westwood also designed clothing for the New York Dolls and other bands. Vivienne was one of the first original designers when the punk movement started. Many of her garments are now collectibles. The V&A museum in London had an exhibition of Vivienne Westwood styles from 2004-2005.
In 1970, Malcolm and Vivienne opened a shop on 430 King's Road in London called Let It Rock. They sold clothing targeted at the London Teddy Boy scene. Vivienne designed clothing for the store. The shop eventually went through a few incarnations. In 1972, the store became Too Fast to Live Too Young to Die and featured t-shirts with provocative slogans, leather clothing, and garments with zippers and chains. In 1974, the shop transformed again. It was called Sex and featured S&M clothing. Sex became synonymous with the punk scene. Then the shop became Seditionaries. Today, Vivienne Westwood's World's End iconic boutique carries her limited edition special clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Vivienne and Malcolm's son is Joseph Corre. Joseph Corre founded the women's lingerie company Agent Provocateur and now designs his own menswear line along with Simon "Branzley" Armitage named, A Child of the Jago.
Controversy surrounds the style of Vivienne Westwood. Supermodel Naomi Campbell famously took a tumble modeling nine inch platform shoes at a 1993 Vivienne Westwood Anglomania fashion show. The incident made these shoes famous. Always pushing the envelope, Vivienne Westwood excitingly experiments with the extremes of fashion.
In 1992, Vivienne Westwood married her current husband and creative partner, Andreas Kronthaler. In the same year, Vivienne caused another controversy when she received the OBE award. She twirled in her skirt and was knicker-less! She repeated the incident again in 2006 when she met the Prince of Wales.
Vivienne has always been a caring and political person. In 2005, she teamed up with British civil rights group Liberty to launch exclusive limited design t-shirts. One reads, "I AM NOT A TERRORIST, please don't arrest me!" The other shirt reads, "Liberty - Throw Away the Key."
Vivienne Westwood collections include four women's lines: Gold Label, Red Carpet, Red Label, and Anglomania. She has a men's line appropriately titled MAN. She also has a World's End line that features her classic pieces from the Vivienne Westwood archive. Vivienne Westwood also designs a collection of bags, shoes, sunglasses, eight perfume lines, and has multitude of stores all over the world!

Firefall eSports toolkit adds broadcasting, spectator options
Red 5 has added a bevy of spectator and broadcaster options to Firefall in a bid to capture a slice of the eSports market – and to help it grow.
Morgan Romine headlines
Firefall has pets, a Frag Doll, and a love of moustaches
Firefall! Firefall! Firefall! We have not one, but threee exciting things to share with you about the game today (the extra 'e' is because it's excellent!). The game is introducing pets, has recently signed up a former Frag Doll to work on eSports, and company boss Mark Kern is more than happy to talk about […]
Tuesday Shorts II: RE4, BF3, OMD, GDCO, other abbreviations
I couldn't think of anything witty to say on this shorts post, and because of this, there isn't an esoteric shot to go along with it. That's okay, my gorgeous dog will suffice.

If your rides are getting longer and your old sports kit isn't doing the job, the dhb Waterproof Jacket is the ideal top to help take your riding up a gear when the weather turns wet.
dhb have built this jacket from a polyester fabric which also features a PU coating and DWR treatment to make it waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable all ride long. Water drops roll off the jacket's fabric, and the taped seams stop water from seeping in around the shoulders and arms to your jersey underneath.
A full-length YKK zip lets you open the jacket to circulate cooler air if the temperature picks up mid-ride, and a soft fleece-lined neck collar stops the jacket from itching or rubbing when fully zipped up.
The large single pocket on the rear of the jacket's perfect for storing essentials like a mini pump or spare tubes, and the contents are kept safe from water by the storm flap over the zip. The pocket also doubles up as a stuff-sac for the jacket, making it easy to pack away and store in your bag when it's not needed.
It's good to be seen on the road, so dhb have added a reflective logo on the front and back, as well as reflective strips running across the arms either side.
dhb is a technical sports apparel brand, founded in Hampshire, UK, in 2004. We are passionate about the exhilaration of being outside and enjoying sport. Our cycling and running collections are designed for all levels of participant - from novice to professional. We believe 'there's no such thing as bad weather', which is why we aim to provide a wide range of products from a 2.5 layer waterproof jacket to a 90g racing jersey, to keep you outside, doing what you love, all year round. At dhb, our in-house design & development team, work with global partners who are experts in manufacturing, materials and technology to deliver the highest quality products. We strive to create stylish and durable apparel that allows our users to forget about gear and focus on their sport.
dhb Flashlight garments are designed with commuting in mind. Fitting is slightly more relaxed than our performance fit clothing to accommodate additional layering. The cut of the garments is designed to suit the more upright cycling position of commuter bikes, with less exaggerated shaping allowing complete coverage, freedom of movement and comfort both on and off the bike.
dhb work with Alvanon - the leading company in the field of body measurement data collection. By conducting thousands of 3D body scans, on a target demographic, Alvanon are able to accurately manufacture mannequins to precise dimensions which represent the average body shape for that chosen demographic. dhb believe that by working with this qualified partner who has the biggest database of body measurements in the world, that we have the best chance of making sure our customers are satisfied by our fit and sizing philosophy.

Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
It's been a while since I've been able to play along with Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. Here's this week's task:
"1) Go to genea-blogger Ramdy Majors website (http://www.randymajors.com/).
2) Add his blog to your RSS reader, if you don't have it already.
3) Read his blog post AncestorSearch using Google Custom Search – BETA. See the link at the top of the page that says "AncestorSearch using Google Custom Search – BETA?" Click on it.
4) Test out his Custom Google Search form to help you find online information about your ancestors, especially for their marriages.
5) Tell us about your results – was this useful? Did you find something new? How can Randy improve it?
6) If you like Randy's Custom Search, add it to your Bookmarks or Favorites."
Searching the first few generations back (on my mom's side at least) didn't net much, but that's to be expected because not a lot of recent records are online. I did find someone else's Family Tree Maker site, mentioning my paternal grandparents and their marriage. Otherwise, I was finding my own blog posts mentioning my ancestors' names.
I came across an Ancestry.com message board about my Corley line, but it's one I've seen and commented on before.
What's this? I entered in my great-great-grandparents, Benjamin William Franklin Corley and Lois Wakefield, and one of the results was for a domain called "sortedbyname.com." This site listed marriage records and pointed to original source records. For this particular couple, I was sent to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. However, when I searched the index for both of their names, nothing came up. When I searched just for his name, I came up with a marriage record, but with a different woman! Hmmmm… and it's before Lois died… More work is needed here.
Incidentally, when I type in just Lois' name, I do find the record for her and Benjamin. The reason why it didn't show up under his name is because he was only listed by his first initials.
Returning to my mother's line, my great-grandfather Herman Wild (Sr.)'s FindaGrave memorial came up. While it doesn't contain a photo of his gravestone, it does include a transcript of his obituary. This includes a wealth of information including his cause of death, employment info, street address and the names of several relatives.

Introducing our newest Universal Willem EPROM programmer PCB5.0E ! This is a brand-new
and fully tested enhanced Dual Power (USB/AC) Willem Universal EPROM EEPROM programmer,
PCB version PCB5.0E SMD Edition. This board has many enhanced features, such as built-in PLCC32, FWH
/ LPC sockets, thus NO NEED to pay extra to purchase these optional adapters. The PCB
layout is fully optimized and the digital circuitry is separated from the power supply
circuit, thus reducing interference. Quality components are used, for example, the high
current tolerant coil is used to boost the robustness of the circuitry. Optional higher
Vcc voltages (5.6v and 6.2v) will be available when an external AC power supply is
used. This is very important when you want to smoothly and reliably burn those old CMOS
and even older NMOS EPROM chips. This programmer can also read and burn EEPROM, FLASH,
and Microcontroller (MCS-51, AVR and PIC family) chips.
The complete package includes:
1. Willem Universal Eprom Programmer Board PCB5.0E ;
2. The Latest Windows Software and Manual (Electronic Version);
3. DB25 cable for connecting to PC printer port;
4. USB cable (used as power supply cable).

Admit it, you were asking yourself the same question I was asking myself in the ninth inning of today's series finale against the A's: Is it possible that Sergio Santos will blow two 5-3 leads in the ninth in the same series?
Thankfully the answer is no, but it wasn't easy. The Sox closer escaped a heap full of self-induced trouble with the benefit of a favorable call to end the game as Sox nemesis Coco Crisp was called out on a bang-bang play at first, stranding the tying and lead runs.
For the middle of June, there was a lot at stake today. The win shaped the following headlines:
* The Sox are now only 3 1/2 games behind the A.L. Central lead as the pacesetting Tigers and Indians both lost.
* The South Siders moved to within two games of the .500 mark with the 6-4 homestand and are 33-35 as they head to Minnesota and Phoenix. A far cry from where we were a few weeks ago.
* Phil Humber, the find of the year, won his sixth game with yet another fine outing.
* Adam Dunn's three-run homer, his seventh, was a sight to behold.
* Like Dunn, it looks like Matt Thornton, who pitched a scoreless, hitless eighth, has turned things around.
* Paul Konerko drove in his 52nd run and trails only Boston's Adrian Gonzalez among A.L. sluggers.

Missing Students Protocol
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) has established a missing student notification policy in an effort to assist in ensuring the safety of our residential students, and as a requirement of the Higher Education Act of 2008 (20 U.S.C.S. §1092; 42 U.S.C.S. §5579).
The safety of students at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center is of paramount concern to the University. Those with concerns about the immediate safety of a student should contact the University Campus Police Department ("UTHSCPD") at (901) 448-4444. Those with comments or concerns regarding the University's Missing Student policy and efforts should contact the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at (901) 448-5560.
Policy Statement
- This policy applies to all residential facilities located on the UTHSC campus. At the present time, Phi Chi Medical Fraternity is the only residential facility on the UTHSC campus.
- All students, including visiting students, who reside in Phi Chi Medical Fraternity
campus facilities will have the opportunity to identify and provide confidential emergency
contact information through one of the methods listed below:
- Upon checking into Phi Chi Medical Fraternity housing.
- Using BANNER Self-Service.
- The information provided is for use of the University when a student is missing.
- Unless there is evidence to the contrary, a student living in Phi Chi Medical Fraternity housing will not necessarily be considered missing if the student provided information about his/her intended whereabouts or if the student is absent during recognized University holidays or breaks.
- When a University official becomes aware that a residential student has been missing
for more than twenty-four (24) hours, the official will immediately report his/her
belief to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center Campus Police Department
