Saturday, June 25 - Pink Out Night
Newmanstown, Pa. - "The Hornet", Jeff Halligan, buzzed to his first 600cc victory of the season on Saturday night at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
The recent Ephrata High School graduate notched the win in a very special event, as the Lanco club paid tribute to its former track photographer of many years, the late Dick Greenawalt, who passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly on July 5, 2011.
Others who registered wins in Saturday's Greenawalt Memorial included Mike Rutherford (270cc Two-Stroke); Jesse Maurer (125cc); Mark Ludwig (Sportsman); and Craig DeSantis (270cc Four-Stroke).
Saturday's event was the final tune up for the 600cc and 270cc Two-Stroke competitors before this weekend's two-day blockbuster - 600cc Micromania and the 270cc Clash at the Clyde, set for Saturday, June 30 and Sunday, July 1. All of the details surrounding this high paying, all star caliber event are available by logging on to www.lancomicrosprint.com. The 600cc portions on both Saturday and Sunday will award points toward the PA 600 Speedweek Series that kicks off at the Clyde this weekend.
Jered Hook led the early laps of Saturday's 600cc Greenawalt Memorial, with Halligan moving into the runner-up spot after Chris Gerhart lost his left-front wheel with six tours completed.
A terrific three car battle ensued for the third position between Jeff Stelter, Heath Hehnly, and Mike Rutherford, with the trio blasting around the banked oval in three-wide formation at times. Hehnly finally went to the wall with ten to go, accelerating around Stelter to grab third place.
It wasn't long after that Halligan planted his No. 45H under race leader Jered Hook, forging ahead as they hit the backstretch on lap 17. A few circuits later, Rutherford passed Hehnly for third, then wrestled second away from Hook with two trips remaining.
The final caution appeared with only one lap left to run, giving Rutherford a shot at Halligan. "I know he tries to snooker people on restarts, and he's really good at it," said Halligan afterward. "I just concentrated on holding my line and doing what I needed to do, and it worked out."
Halligan, who intends to major in Accounting at Elizabethtown College in the fall, held off Rutherford's challenge on the final lap to win by 0.146-seconds.
Jered Hook, Heath Hehnly, and 20th starting Brent Ely completed the top five.
Jered Hook earned the Weld Racing Fast Lap of the Feature Award, scorching the oval in 11.357 seconds to record the quickest time of the 25-lap main event.
Shaun Brandel, Ryan Hook, Chris Gerhart, and Jered Hook were victorious in 600cc heat races on Saturday, as 41 cars signed in for action. Kory Merkey and Tyler Esh captured the two consolation races.
The 270cc Two-Stroke feature began with a nine-car pile up in turns three and four. On the second attempt to get the race started, Dave Grube jumped from the pole position to lead with Jason Swavely darting past Brian Sholley for second.
Swavely dashed under Grube on the backstretch, then squeezed up in front of the No. 3d to take the lead. Momentum carried both cars up the banking in turns three and four and into the marbles at the top of the track, causing Grube to spin while Swavely managed to continue as the leader.
Eighth-starting Mike Rutherford, bidding for his second consecutive 270cc triumph, was threading a path to the front. He needed several laps to dispose of Sholley, who was running a strong second to Swavely during the middle stages of the race.
Once he gained the runner-up slot, Rutherford zeroed in on Swavely, but it appeared he might run out of time before he could make the winning pass. As the duo headed for the white flag, Rutherford shoved the nose of his Kaylor Petro No. 5k under Swavely's No. 14 in three and four. They made slight contact, with Swavely staying in front until his mount suddenly slowed on the homestretch as Rutherford flashed by him to take command.
"I think Jason burned off of four," explained Rutherford in victory lane, "and that's a shame because he was really good tonight. But I've lost plenty of races that way, too...that's just the way it goes sometimes."
Rutherford, the Lititz resident, notched his second in a row and fourth overall in 270cc competition at the Clyde, winning by slightly more than one second over Sholley. Richie Hartman, Jesse Maurer, and Pete Skias finished third through fifth.
With 31 cars entered in the 270cc Two-Stroke portion of the Greenawalt Memorial, heat races were won by Maurer, Sholley, and Swavely. The consolation went to Mike Uhrich.
The main event for the 125cc Class provided all sorts of drama, and it ended with reigning track champion Jesse Maurer recording his first win of the season in this division. The outcome was much more disappointing for a few others, though, as a five-race win streak was stopped and another driver's run of hard luck continued - after he apparently won the race.
Richie Hartman had won five consecutive 125cc features, but he was involved in an early tangle and had to go to the rear of the 20-car field.
Kory Merkey started third, but leap-frogged to the lead on the opening lap. Merkey, from Manheim, has been fast all year long but mechanical gremlins and just plain lousy luck have plagued his efforts.
The Greenawalt Memorial seemed to be the tonic that would shed his bad luck, though, as Merkey led all the way to score the apparent victory - a close one over Maurer and Hartman, who charged from the back of the pack to make things even more interesting.
Unfortunately for Merkey, his No. 88 came up just a bit light at the scale after the 25-lapper, handing the victory to Maurer.
While Merkey was out front, the action behind him was fantastic, as Maurer, Ken Miller, Darren Miller, Dave Grube, and Shane Braxton swapped positions and battled ferociously for the second through sixth positions.
When everything was sorted out at the end, it was Mount Joy's Jesse Maurer who claimed the victory with Hartman finishing second and Grube earning third place money. Ken Miller and Braxton rounded out the top five.
Twenty-two cars took part in the 125cc activity on Saturday, with Braxton and Chris Gerhart winning the heat races.
A wildly entertaining Sportsman feature saw Mark Ludwig, Ephrata, snare his first triumph of the year. Ludwig started tenth, made a daring three-wide pass to secure third place, then ducked under Sheena Logeman for the runner-up spot with four to go. Ludwig inherited the race lead when Jason Swavely - for the second time on Saturday - broke while leading the main event. This time, Jason's No. 7c fell victim to mechanical issues with three laps remaining, handing Ludwig the lead and the win.
An incredible, improbable incident may have played a role in Swavely's demise in the Sportsman main. Kerry Lengle set the pace from lap three through the 20th circuit, until he caught an infield tire marker in turn four, throwing his No. 81 into a spin. As Lengle's car turned around, he was slammed by second-running Swavely, whose path was suddenly blocked by the spinning leader.
Amazingly, Swavely never stopped, continuing on as the new leader after the impact knocked Lengle out of the race. While there was no readily evident damage to Swavely's mount, the hard impact with Lengle certainly could have led to Swavely's breakdown a few laps after the incident.
Ludwig raced to the victory, with Sheena Logeman finishing second. Ken Miller, who took the initial green from 17th position, rebounded from an early spin to finish third. Bobby Shanaman and Wesley Fasnacht wound up fourth and fifth, respectively.
Twenty Sportsman teams entered the Greenawalt Memorial, with heats going to Fasnacht and Swavely.
After an early season filled with second and third place finishes, veteran Craig DeSantis, from Lititz, finally found his way to the winner's circle on Saturday.
"Dick was a good friend, and it's an honor to win his Memorial Race," said DeSantis as he related what it meant to him to win the 270cc Four-Stroke Greenawalt Memorial feature.
As Lewis Kepple, Jr. raced out front, some excellent racing was taking place behind his No. 16. Donna Geib, Eddie Nocera, DeSantis, Ryan Morris, and five-time winner Chip Geib dueled for position for several laps before DeSantis eventually secured the runner-up slot and began his assault on the leader.
DeSantis stormed past Kepple for the top spot, and it wasn't long before Chip Geib motored into second. By the time he got there, though, DeSantis had checked out, opening a big lead.
Ryan Morris, who snapped Chip Geib's winning streak the week prior, spun off the fourth turn in the first half of the 25-lapper. Morris charged back through the field, taking third place, then tried his best to catch the cars in front of him as the leaders dealt with lapped traffic.
DeSantis' margin of victory was 0.318 seconds over C. Geib, with Morris having to settle for third. Nocera and Kepple completed the top five.
Heats for the 14 cars went to Morris and DeSantis.
All five main events were highlighted by some drama and outstanding action, making the first Dick Greenawalt Memorial a resounding success. Greenawalt's wife, Carol, along with his son, Lee, and Lee's wife, Margaret, were on hand to celebrate with the winning drivers. A special program book and commemorative t-shirt were sold to mark the occasion.
The stage is now set for this weekend's Micromania for the 600's and the 270 Clash at the Clyde. On Saturday, the Prelude to the Mania and the Flash before the Clash will begin with warm-ups at 5:45 p.m. Gates open at 3:00, with a driver's meeting at 5:30. The first heat race goes green at 6:30.

Driver dies after colliding with tree
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 10:06 a.m.
A 24-year-old man from northern Davidson County died early Thursday morning after the car he was driving veered off the road and struck a tree just south of Wallburg.
Adam Ross Brasher of Meadowlands Drive was pronounced dead on the scene of the single-vehicle accident, which occurred just after 1 a.m. on Johnson Road, about a 10th of a mile north of Jesse Green Road, said Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the North Carolina Highway Patrol in Lexington.
One passenger, Andrew Cratchfield, 19, of Winston-Salem, was uninjured in the crash.
Kearns said excessive speeds contributed to the crash, adding that drugs and alcohol were not involved in the incident.
According to state troopers who responded to the crash, Brasher was driving a 2010 Volkswagen southbound on Johnson Road, before running off the left shoulder and colliding with a tree. After impact, the vehicle traveled 15 feet south and came to rest on the northbound shoulder, Kearns said.
The vehicle's estimated speed at impact was 75 mph while the original speed was estimated at 80 mph. The speed limit on Johnson Road is 45 mph.
Brasher was not wearing a seat belt but was not ejected from the vehicle, Kearns said. Cratchfield was wearing a seat belt.

One word for Sal Alosi — unbelievable.
Alosi, the New York Jets strength and conditioning coach, tripped Miami Dolphins defensive back Nolan Carroll late in the third quarter as the Dolphins led the struggling Jets 10-3.
Sal Alosi released a statement apologizing for his irresponsible actions, but this deserves the attention of Roger Goodell. This season saw the NFL aggressively go after defensive players for questionable hits to protect the safety of players. Regardless of anyone's personal feelings about how the rule is enforced, the intent of the rule is right.
So with that in mind, if a coach intentionally inflicts harm against an opposing player in a live game, this deserves at least a James Harrison-like fine and a suspension. When an athlete hits on the field, it's a subjective call to determine whether or not the harm done was intentionally. The are, after all, in the heat of playing football.
But this leaves no gray area. It's just plain wrong and completely inexcusable.
Said Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby : "Four games? The rest of the season? Suspend him, man. Get him up out of there. He's got to go, bringing down a whole organization like that. That's sad. You don't do a man like that."
Said Miami Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford: "He could have ended his career with that. I think maybe somebody needs to do something about that as far as the league goes. I think he should get fined. We get fined for illegal stuff, why can't the coaches?"

An exhibit opening at the Central Arkansas Library System is offering a window into how a school with only black students operated for decades in the Arkansas Delta.
The display on the former Brinkley Academy opens Monday and runs through June 29.
The school was formed in 1893 by a consortium of Missionary Baptist congregations. Brinkley Academy was one of three boarding schools for African-American students in the area.
The exhibit is being organized by the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies, though the presentation was produced by the Arkansas Secretary of State's Office and Park Central Little Rock.
The display will be on view at the main library in downtown Little Rock.

Palm Coast driver accused of DUI, hitting pedestrian
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 9:21 p.m.
PALM COAST — A 53-year-old Palm Coast man is accused of driving while drunk and hitting a pedestrian, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Jose Ivan Boirie was arrested shortly after midnight Sunday after striking a pedestrian at the intersection of Belle Terre Parkway and State Road 100, a report states.
Boirie told a trooper who was investigating that crash that he was trying to turn right onto State Road 100. He hit the pedestrian, who has not been named by law enforcement, with the right side of his vehicle and window.
The trooper noted that Boirie had "difficulty maintaining his balance" and smelled of "an alcoholic beverage."
"I then looked at the damage to his vehicle and it matched a vehicle that had struck a pedestrian," according to the report.
Boirie failed field-sobriety tests, the report states, and was transported to the Flagler County Inmate Facility. While at the facility he took two breath tests that were over the legal limit of .08 with the first registering at .142 and the second at .125.He was later released on $1,000 bail.
No information about the pedestrian was available Monday.

This is the second of three posts covering news in the historicity-of-Jesus debate (for the first see Thallus et Alius). I recently finished reading the latest books by John Crossan and Dennis MacDonald. They inadvertently support the mythicist case with their latest arguments (despite making some weak, almost half-hearted arguments for historicity), and are worth taking note of. I don't have time to write a full review, but here are some observations of interest to the historicity debate…
1. Undermining Historicity
Crossan's new book, The Power of Parable: How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction about Jesus (Harper 2012), is superb, well-written for laymen, yet astute enough for scholars. And I am not generally a fan of Crossan (even when he agrees with me, I usually find his arguments ill-informed), so this is high praise coming from me. In Power he argues that the Gospels are essentially extended parables about Jesus, based on things he said or that the authors wanted to say about him, and thus are fundamentally fiction, not history. He demonstrates that this mode of writing was well known within Judaism (and beyond) and thus not novel, and then argues how some of these parables about Jesus were invented and why. This ranks right up there with Randel Helms' Gospel Fictions. I recommend it for all readers.
MacDonald's new book, Two Shipwrecked Gospels: The Logoi of Jesus and Papias's Exposition of Logia about the Lord (Society of Biblical Literarure 2012), argues that the whole Q hypothesis is demonstrably wrong, and that in fact there was a previous lost Gospel called The Logoi of Jesus ["The Words/Tales of Jesus"] that lacked a nativity, passion, or empty tomb narrative, and that was used by all the Synoptics, not just Matthew and Luke. Mark is therefore a redaction of this lost Gospel, and so are Matthew and Luke, who also incorporate and redact material added to it by Mark (such as the passion and empty tomb narratives). He also provides more than convincing evidence that Luke knew and redacted Matthew as well (and thus was not written independently).
MacDonald's case is not entirely convincing to me. Contrary to the promise it showed when I saw earlier versions of it, he commits a number of fallacies in applying his own criteria to establish his case. I think all his evidence can be explained just as well by the standard Farrer hypothesis (see On Dispensing with Q), much more easily than MacDonald maintains. But even if, like me, you remain unconvinced by his central thesis, his book remains essential reading for experts in three respects:
(1) This is now the most recent and thorough translation and scholarly treatment of the fragments of Papias in English, and in fact anyone who wants to write or theorize about Papias simply must read this book's chapters on him (mainly chapter 1 and Appendix 5, which provides a complete text and translation of all the fragments of Papias);
(2) MacDonald's evidence nevertheless abundantly proves Luke's dependence on Matthew (so anyone who wants to maintain otherwise simply must interact with this book's evidence, in addition to that already detailed by Mark Goodacre in The Case Against Q [with its associated website and the famous article by Michael Goulder, "Is Q a Juggernaut?"]); and
(3) if MacDonald is right about the lost Gospel he recovers from Mark and Luke and Matthew, then his ancillary argument is also true, that this lost Gospel is essentially a rewrite of Deuteronomy (in fact, the Septuagint text of Deuteronomy), casting Jesus in the role of Moses and reversing or altering much of its message.
That last is a fact that does not bode well for historicity advocates, although MacDonald does not pose it that way–just like his previous work showing that Mark is a retelling of Homer casting Jesus in the role of Odysseus (in The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark). These two theses together explain pretty much the entire content of the Synoptic Gospels. Once you identify the whole primary content of the Gospels to be intentional literary fiction, the Gospels go out the window as evidence for Jesus; just as Mickey Spillane's novels go out the window as evidence for the historicity of Mike Hammer.
However, unlike Crossan's book, MacDonald's book is very dense and advanced. Clocking in at over 700 pages, most of it is a detailed textual commentary on the Greek text of the Gospels (and the merits of many of his arguments require a knowledge of Greek). I recommend it only for hardcore readers in Biblical studies.
2. Supporting Historicity
Both Crossan and MacDonald are aware of the danger their books pose, and thus make a conspicuous point of inserting brief, half-hearted sections arguing for the historicity of Jesus. These really serve little purpose other than to reassure their colleagues and peers that they are still rubbing the totem and thus haven't defected to the other side…which their colleagues and peers might definitely fear after hearing out their arguments for the character of Jesus being a literary creation. I'll address each of their arguments for historicity.
Crossan's argument is more concise and organized, but wholly unsound (pp. 247-50). It consists of concluding historicity from two premises: one based on external evidence, the other on internal evidence. His "external" premise is the testimony of Josephus (93 AD) and Tacitus (116 AD). Of course, the testimony in Josephus is fabricated (I am certain, and can prove to a strong probability, that Josephus never mentioned Jesus, in either passage where he now appears), and the testimony in Tacitus most obviously comes from Christians deriving their claims from the Gospels, which Crossan just got done arguing are fiction.
But even Josephus' testimony, if granted authenticity, derives from the Gospels (this has been demonstrated for the main passage by G.J. Goldberg, in "The Coincidences of the Testimonium of Josephus and the Emmaus Narrative of Luke," The Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha 13 [1995]: 59-77; the allusion to James later on can just as easily be an invention of Christian legend gullibly reported by Josephus, but I demonstrate that in fact it is an accidental interpolation in Richard Carrier, "Origen, Eusebius, and the Accidental Interpolation in Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 20.200," Journal of Early Christian Studies 20.4 [Winter 2012]).
Therefore, even at their best, the material in Tacitus and Josephus cannot logically "corroborate" the Gospels. Crossan's external premise therefore falls.
The internal case, Crossan says, begins with the question, "If you are inventing a nonhistorical figure, why invent one you cannot live with, but must steadily and terminally change into its opposite?" (p. 250), a question he can't answer so he finds it "much more likely that Jesus was an actual historical figure whose radical insistence on nonviolent distributive justice was both accepted and negated by the tradition it engendered." But this is a non sequitur. If Jesus could start a movement with such radical ideas, then anyone could. And they could do that by inventing a Savior character ("Jesus" essentially means "Savior") as its celestial or mythic mascot. Then, as the movement grew and these radical ideas became less popular (and more obviously unlivable), the movement had to start changing its central message, and thus its central character.
Therefore the fact that this happened (even granting that it did; not all scholars buy Crossan's version of the original Jesus) provides zero evidence that it started with a historical Jesus. Because that same evidence is just as expected if Christianity began with (let's say) a historical Peter touting a revealed Jesus telling him these same radical things. And then just as Paul got rid of Peter's Torah-insistent Jesus, so did later generations gradually get rid of Paul's egalitarian Jesus, eventually ending up with John's Jesus, the most uncharitable asshole version of Jesus ever devised…until someone invented the Infancy Gospels (which finally turned Jesus into that horrid boy from The Omen).
Therefore, the fact that Christian ideas changed (and Christians changed their stories of Jesus to match) does not support historicity any more than nonhistoricity. Crossan's internal premise therefore falls.
Crossan therefore has no logically sound case for historicity to offer.
MacDonald's argument is a bit of a shambles but at least gets more into the evidence (pp. 543-53). He starts with the claim that Paul attests to his "extensive interaction with Jesus' family and followers" (p. 543), although that begs every question (whether these people were his followers and actual family, as opposed to a metaphorical brotherhood), and even MacDonald is forced to admit that somehow "little of this information" [that Paul should have gotten from them] "has seeped into Paul's letters," a curiosity readily explained by there being no such information (Jesus being solely a revealed figure; after all, Paul himself seems to know of no other).
MacDonald then says his reconstructed "lost Gospel" (the Logoi) had accurate knowledge of Galilee and came from a bilingual (Semitized) environment, which are mutually consistent with a Galilean origin. But each is a non sequitur–as is the whole inference "Galilean author => historical Jesus" (as if Galilean authors can't invent; and yet MacDonald himself admits the Logoi is substantially fiction).
MacDonald acknowledges that's a problem. But if such an argument were pressed, it is just a cascade of fallacies: first, even granting the premises, the conclusion of historicity doesn't follow; and second, the premises themselves are already questionable. Even granting that the Logoi does show a reliable knowledge of Galilee (which is more debatable than MacDonald claims), that was available to almost anyone (especially from Palestine or Syria or Arabia or Egypt or anywhere in the Diaspora, where pilgrims and people familiar with the Holy Land were always available). Likewise, Semitic loanwords are not uniquely indicative even of Palestine, much less Galilee (see Proving History, pp. 185-86, with my remarks on Ehrman [A] and [B]), a point with which, notably, MacDonald agrees (p. 544).
MacDonald thus does not lean on this, realizing it's a weak thread. He instead admits that even in his reconstructed Logoi genuine facts about Jesus are "buried" and "difficult to mine," requiring the standard "criteria" to extract, a method I and others have already thoroughly refuted–so he is still behind the times here. In addition to my book Proving History, which cites many other scholars agreeing with me on this, see the latest salvo: Jesus, Criteria, and the Demise of Authenticity (T&T Clark 2012). MacDonald's attempts to apply these criteria fail in all the ways I already document in Proving History (e.g., the claim that the authors would not invent a baptism by John the Baptist is refuted on pp. 145-48; and so go all other such arguments, e.g., pp. 155-57).
Likewise, in any sound Jesus Myth theory the "sayings" of Jesus (or the ideas that inspired their formulation, p. 545) would have come by revelation, and therefore proving their originality cannot establish the historicity of Jesus (PH, pp. 123-24) even if their originality could be proved, which it rarely can, owing to our tremendous ignorance of first century Judaism (PH, 129-34). Because again, if Jesus could innovate, anyone could. Therefore innovation is not evidence of Jesus. Confusingly, yet again, MacDonald confesses this is true, concluding "Because of the author's debt to rhetorical invention [in the Logoi], it is impossible to attribute any of these sayings with confidence to the earthly Jesus" (p. 552). So he knows no case can really proceed from this argument, either.
His next argument is that all the Gospels contain incidental details that serve no literary or religious purpose, and those must surely then be historical. For example:
There is no reason to challenge the accuracy of the following information: Jesus' home was in Nazareth of Galilee; he traveled to Judea, was baptized by John, returned to Galilee, conducted a ministry in [specifically named] towns and villages there…and traveled with several male disciples; he was considered a teacher, exorcist, and wonder worker…met hostility from Torah-observant Jews, and was crucified by Romans with encouragement of the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem. … [B]ecause it is not religiously weighted, [this summary] probably reflects reliable traditions about him.
He makes no argument either for these being "not religiously weighted" or for that being any indication of their being historical. So already the argument is logically unsound, for having premises nowhere established. In fact, the premises are insupportable.
MacDonald's claim that there is no religious purpose for any of these details is false. Nazareth and the baptism by John have identifiable origins in mythmaking (see Proving History, pp. 142-48); Christian missionaries themselves "met hostility from Torah-observant Jews" and were teachers, exorcists, and wonder workers, and thus needed a mythic model to follow and validate those roles (see PH, p. 174); fiction would be no more likely to attach female disciples to Jesus than actual history would; and the whole Romans-encouraged-by-Jews crucifixion narrative (which MacDonald admits originates with Mark, being absent from his reconstructed Logoi) is unintelligible as history (see PH, pp. 139-41). That leaves just one element: situating the narrative in Galilee. But any fictional narrative has to be situated somewhere.
In actual fact, incidental but geographically and culturally accurate details (like the names of towns in an area) naturally accumulate in myths and legends, as demonstrated by Jan Harold Brunvand, in his famous study of urban legends, The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends and Their Meanings (1989). He found that in fact the more specific and incidental details there are in a strange story, the more likely it is to be non-historical. That's right. Because storytellers add and accumulate just those kinds of things; the story doesn't feel true without them, so they get added (but to a legend-hunter like Brunvand, they're a dead giveaway).
There is no rhyme or reason for the details added, other than that they add verisimilitude (they are thus called "validating details"), except for one thing: they do tend to match a specific geographically localized "color," wherever the story is crystallized, which can often be in different places for different versions of the legend. It is thus notable that, just like urban legends, a completely different version of the Jesus narrative arose, placing Jesus' execution, by Jewish stoning, in Lydda and dying a hundred years earlier. Even the Gospel of Peter has Jesus crucified by Herod, not the Romans. So the story could be told in all manner of ways. Just like any other legend. For perspective, just look at all the "incidental details" in the many Apocryphal Acts…yet no one would claim those details must then be historical. Those are works of total fiction.
The fact is, the Christians had a scriptural reason to set their messianic fable in Galilee: Isaiah 9:1-7 says to. And Jesus being a "Nazorian"(Nazôraios) provided an obvious basis for putting him in the Galilean town with the nearest-sounding name: Nazareth (Nazareth). Even though those words are not in fact related. So MacDonald's argument here does not hold up. He recognizes this is true for many other arguments, pointing out, for example, that there are far fewer independent sources than most scholars claim (so "multiple attestation" is not an effective criterion: see PH, pp. 172-75; note how Ehrman tried, illogically, to make exactly the opposite claim: see [A] and [B]), and that multiple attestation doesn't confirm historicity anyway (p. 551), and that the Gospels are full of examples of "the expansion of sayings [of Jesus] into narratives" and thus they routinely fabricate stories (note that I have pointed out that this was a typical way of fabricating biographies generally, a fact well established in classical studies).
MacDonald then cites Josephus. Which really should be a non-starter as an argument (as I already noted above). He even exposes why when he admits any attempt to reconstruct a "genuine" Testimonium Flavianum can only be hypothetical (p. 547), and it should be obvious how that negates it as evidence (because a hypothetical premise only gets you a hypothetical conclusion: garbage in, garbage out; likewise, even if authentic, the supposition that any of its content derives independently of the Gospels can only be hypothetical–and in fact, as I noted above, is most improbable).
MacDonald even admits that the phrase "the one called Christ" in the second Josephan passage about a certain executed James "may be another Christian gloss" (p. 548). He tries to salvage it anyway by saying no other Jesus could be meant, but as there are many men named Jesus in Josephus, and indeed one in particular in this very narrative (the high priest Jesus ben Damneus, who is obviously the Jesus here meant), that argument is simply invalid. My peer reviewed demonstration of that (in JECS, cited above) will appear this Winter.
Lastly, MacDonald cites corroboration in Paul of some few details and sayings, but we already know that sayings of Jesus came to Paul by revelation (likewise to other apostles of his generation), and the only other details Paul gives of Jesus are unwitnessed mythic facts that Paul fully confesses are derived from scripture (e.g., 1 Cor. 15:3-4) or revelation (e.g., 1 Cor. 11:23; cf. Gal. 1:8-12 and Rom. 16:25-26). In other words, without addressing alternative hypotheses for these details in Paul, no argument for historicity can logically proceed from them. Only a proper comparative argument can attain logical validity here. MacDonald gives none.
And that's the sum of his case. And it's probably, really, the best case anyone could make (although it could be organized better). Perhaps you can see why more and more of us are finding historicity doubtful.

Ask Chris #172: DC, Marvel And 'The Problem'
Q: You mentioned "The Problem" in last week's column. So, what is "The Problem?" --@green2814
A: Last week, I dug in a little into the idea that even though they share prominent creators and have influenced each other back and forth over the course of the last 50 years, the DC and Marvel Universes have some fundamental differences in the way they're structured. One of the things I really wanted to get across in that column was that neither one is really fundamentally better than the other, they're just incompatible in a lot of ways, and I touched on how that results in something I call The Problem. Since that's still pretty fresh in everybody's mind, and since you were nice enough to set the ball right on the tee and hand me the bat, I might as well elaborate on that now. It's actually pretty simple.
To put it bluntly, The Problem is that DC wants to be Marvel, and they have for the past 50 years.

Sadly the online shoe retailer will be doing more than taking orders this morning. They will be answering a lot of questions about their customer accounts.
Zappos has a great reputation for their marketing, sales and outstanding customer service…we talk about them all the time in the marketing class I teach. However this week we will add something more to that dicussion – "how do you react when you have been hacked?"
I wish Zappos the best – if anyone can clean up a problem it should be them. Their staff have always had a "can-do" attitude that cames from empowering your employees.

Every once in a while there is an event that we know will stay with us in long-term memory as a very special night. And while it seemed a bit wrong to be attending a party that re-enacted the hours before such a tragic event, the Titanic Party that I attended was one of those nights.
Everyone that attended knows that our friend who played hostess is an amazing party planner but I don't think anybody was prepared for the large mural of the Titanic and several shimmering icebergs that adorned the garage as we approached her home. She had spent most of the day painting the mural, the final step in months of planning and preparation. Both she and her husband proved to be amazing hosts for this unique event held on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. (more…)

Shelter may be best off as own department
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 4:22 p.m.
Governmental retreats give elected leaders an opportunity to hold in-depth discussions with each other and department heads in a more casual setting than a regular meeting. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice took advantage of that chance Thursday during the county commissioners' retreat to ask the board to remove the county animal shelter from under his jurisdiction. Grice believes the shelter's mission differs from that of his office. It also generated plenty of headaches at times, especially when animal advocates vocally objected to the use of gas to euthanize animals.
Grice's suggestion to place it under the county manager's office seemed a bit misplaced, and health director Monecia Thomas offered reasons why it doesn't fit in her department, either. The duties of animal control officers would remain with the sheriff's office, so commissioners must be careful not to complicate the process of reporting problem animals. County manager Robert Hyatt pointed out the shelter doesn't really fit well with any department, so making it its own department may offer the best option. Judy Lanier has certainly proven a capable leader of the shelter.
The closure of the U.S. Xpress facility in Lexington last week meant the loss of jobs for about 40 people. It also served as a reminder that businesses that locate in Davidson County and other locations with great fanfare don't always survive in the long run. U.S. Xpress received incentive packages from Lexington and Davidson County totaling $122,000 when it opened in September 2006. The company's chairman projected 600 to 700 employes within three to five years. The lesson may be to take some initial optimism with a grain of salt.
The construction of an indoor recreation facility continues to surface as a desire for many Lexington residents. The city's parks and recreation department surveyed residents and held a workshop Tuesday to gain feedback of what should be its top priorities. The city council has mentioned creating a skate or dog park, but that didn't generate enthusiasm with those at the meeting or who filled out the survey. An indoor facility would be costly, but council members may want to revisit that issue.
Several folks deserve a word of congratulations <$>for accomplishments this past week: Alan Carson<$>, chosen as the new city manager for Lexington. He now receives the chance to make his mark after serving as assistant manager for almost 10 years; Brandy Reeder, a fifth-grade teacher at Brier Creek Elementary School named the top teacher in Davidson County Schools; and James Drummond and Grace Baird, who won state titles, Drummond in the 300-meter dash in the 1-A/2-A/3-A Indoor State Track Meet and Baird in the 500 freestyle in the 1-A/2-A State Swimming Championships.

I love trying new chocolate, which I'm sure comes as no surprise at all. It's really interesting for me to taste what each individual chocolate maker and chocolatier does with it. No two chocolates can taste the same, even if crafted by the same hand. It's like a visit to an art museum, but for you taste buds.
Chocolove is one of the my favorite recent chocolate discoveries. I got my first taste of them at The New York Chocolate Show last November. I got to sample most of their line of chocolate bars and immediately fell in love with their Toffee & Almonds in 33% Milk Chocolate bar. Once you taste something utterly addictive, it's only a matter of time until you go back for more. So the next trip to the store I found myself perusing the Chocolove selection and decided on trying the 65% Rich Dark chocolate, since I find bittersweet a good base for judging.
I love the red wrapper as it's such an appealing color (not to mention my favorite). According to the front, you also get a love note along with the bar of chocolate, so I immediately think this would be a really cute gift for a special someone. The overall design is really cute, meant to look like a piece of mail sent especially to you.
Once the chocolate is free from the paper, you immediately notice the rich dark brown color and a gloss. The bar had a good hard snap to it and the break clean aside from a few pink prick sized air bubble holes. The molded domes of the chocolate have a little embossed curly heart on them and it's really, really cute. The flavor is very mild and sweet with no notes of frutiness or acidity, which is common in darker chocolates. Instead I get a lot of roasted notes of coffee and cocoa, and accents of earthiness with coconut and some lingering vanilla. The mouthfeel is very rich, the chocolate is smooth and creamy and almost has a "thick" feeling on your tongue. It was especially nice a to savor this and let melt slowly in my mouth.
The Chocolove 65% Rich Dark is a really beautiful tasting bar and it's been added to my list of chocolates I must have on hand at all times. The flavor and rich mouthfeel makes it feel really indulgent for times when I feel I need to treat myself. You know, so I can show myself some Chocolove!

Mercyhurst 3, St Lawrence 2
ERIE, Pa. – Senior Christie Cicero scored two goals to propel the Mercyhurst University women's hockey team over St. Lawrence University on Tuesday evening. The Lakers improved to 9-5-2 in the season with the out of conference win. St Lawrence fell to 6-8-1 overall this year.
Both teams skated through a scoreless first period with the Lakers taking control. Mercyhurst outshot St. Lawrence 13 to three in the opening period with five different players taking two shots on net.
At the start of the second, St. Lawrence took advantage of two power-play goals. At the 2:10 mark, Mel Desrochers tallied her sixth goal of the season after shooting the puck just under Makela shoulder from an odd angle. The Saints' Kristen Padalis scored four minutes later to stretch the score 2-0 on a back to back power-play goal.
Mercyhurst then scored three unanswered goals starting with Cicero. She scored her first goal of the game on a Lakers power-play opportunity at the 15:55 mark. The Lakers kept the puck moving with sophomore Emily Jangia starting the momentum. Janiga then passed it to senior Christine Bestland to the right side of the Saints' net. Bestland then tossed the puck to Cicero who blasted the puck past goaltender Carmen MacDonald.
Sophomore Kathy Donohue tied the contest at two on another power-play goal in the final period. Junior Shelby Bram passed the puck to sophomore Jenna Dingeldein at the hash marks for a shot on net. The shot went through the crease where Donohue was waiting back door and slide the puck as MacDonald.
For another nine minutes, both teams skated through the 2-2 tie. With 1:13 left on the clock, Cicero crashed the net and forced the puck through the legs of MacDonald to give her team the goal advantage. Bram and senior Kaleigh Chippy added the assists. The goal marked Cicero's first game-winning goal of the season.
All told, the Lakers outshot the Saints' 40 to 24 throughout the entire contest. The Lakers were successful two times out of their seven chances on the power-play. The penalty killed allowed two goals on five Saint opportunities.
Junior goaltender Amanda Makela took the win and improved to 8-5-2 in the season. Makela stopped 22 of the 24 shots faced. MacDonald fell to 6-3-1 after making 37 saves.
Both teams are back in action at the Mercyhurst Ice Center on Wednesday, November 27 at 3:00 p.m.

Syracuse 2, Colgate 1
SYRACUSE, N.Y.—Allie LaCombe sent in the game-winning goal in the closing seconds to give the Syracuse ice hockey team (7-6-2) a 2-1 victory over Colgate(3-13-0) on Tuesday night at the Onondaga War Memorial. This is the third game-winner LaCombe has notched so far this season.
Jenesica Drinkwater was between the pipes for Syracuse and kept her record a perfect 4-0-0 with her 18-save performance against the Raiders. Brittney Brooks was in net for Colgate and made 36 saves in her efforts against the Orange.
The Orange played an aggressive offense in second and third periods, outshooting Colgate 58-17 in the final 40 minutes. The Raiders put just eight shots on target in the last two stanzas while Syracuse notched 31 shots at the goalie.
Neither team was able to gain much of an advantage throughout the first period, each getting 13 shots off. Drinkwater had 10 shots come her way and she made impressive saves to keep the score at 0-0 going into the second period.
Colgate was the first to score in the game when Rachel Walsh took a shot at Drinkwater, who made the save, but Walsh would strip the puck away from the SU netminder before she was able to maintain possession and stop play. Walsh passed it left to Miriam Drubel, who was waiting at the crease and shot it in before Drinkwater could turn and make the save. Colgate took a 1-0 lead with 4:02 remaining in the second period.
The Orange refused to go into the second intermission with a deficit and scored with 13 seconds remaining in the period.Julie Knerr took a shot at Brooks which led to a scrum in front of the goal. In the midst of Colgate defenders and SU players, the puck slid out, giving Heather Schwarz enough room to get a shot off. Schwarz flicked it up and over traffic, scoring her first career goal and tying the game at 1-1 before heading into the locker room.
Syracuse attempted 30 shots throughout the third period but it was the final one that would win the game. Jessica Sibleyshot one at Brooks, who was able to make the save but LaCombe fired right back, this time with success and the Orange took a 2-1 lead with just 35 seconds remaining in the game, which wasn't enough time for Colgate to stop the SU victory.
SU is now 2-1 all-time at the War Memorial and moves to 3-2-1 at home this season. This was also the first Syracuse home game ever televised, airing on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.
The Orange plays again on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at the Onondaga War Memorial, taking on No. 3 Cornell at 7 p.m. The game will air on TWC SportsChannel.

Robert Morris 2, Ohio State 1
Columbus, Ohio – The Robert Morris University women's hockey team traveled to Columbus, Ohio for a weekday non-conference game with Ohio State this evening. For the second-straight game, junior forward Rebecca Vint (Caldeon, Ontario / Brampton Junior Thunder) notched the winning goal, as the Colonials earned a 2-1 victory at OSU Ice Arena.
No. 10 Robert Morris (13-3-1) outshot the Buckeyes (3-9-2), 26-20, and held the Ohio State power play unit without a goal on five chances.
For the third straight game, the Colonials played in a scoreless first period. RMU had their best scoring opportunity at the 16:14 mark when Sara Schmitt went to the box for hooking, but junior forward Katelyn Scott (Brighton, Mich. / Belle Tire) and Kylie St. Louis (Windsor, Ontario / Southwest Wildcats) both had shots saved by Buckeye goaltender Lisa Steffes.
Also for the third straight game, the Colonials' opponent would strike first. With both Kari Schmitt of Ohio State and senior defenseman Anneline Lauziere (St. Thomas, Ontario / London Jr. Devilettes) in the penalty box, the Buckeyes broke through with a goal from Claudia Kepler five minutes into the period.
RMU answered three and a half minutes later. Senior assistant captain Brandi Pollock (Virden, Manitoba / Westman Wildcats) corralled the puck along the right boards and passed it to senior captain Kristen Richards (Toronto, Ontario / Niagara University) skating towards the blue line. Freshman forward Brittany Howard (St. Thomas, Ontario / Burlington Jr. Barracudas) skated down the right end, as Richards went to work on the Ohio State defense. The senior forward deked the lone defenseman and caught Steffes off-balance, then passed it to Howard, who would bury the puck into an open net for her fifth goal of the season.
The Colonials registered the game-winning goal 4:13 into the final period. Howard skated into the RMU offensive zone from the right end and rifled a shot that was initially saved by Steffes. A scramble ensued in front of the net for a few seconds, then the puck found Vint's stick as the junior batted it in for her ninth goal of the season.
The Buckeyes had an opportunity to tie it up with three minutes remaining, but the Colonial defense stood tall. Freshman goaltender Jessica Dodds (London, Ontario / London Jr. Devilettes) first made a save on a shot from Annie Svedin, and then three more shots were blocked up front. Dodds would make two more saves before the puck finally came out of the Ohio State offensive zone.
With 1:27 remaining in regulation, the Buckeyes would use their timeout and pull their goaltender. Howard went to the penalty box with 50 seconds remaining for a tripping call, but Ohio State could only manage a shot wide on the 6-on-4.
Dodds made 19 saves and moved her unbeaten record to 10-0-1.
With the victory, RMU stayed unbeaten on the road this season as they hold a 6-0-1 record away from 84 Lumber Arena.
The Colonials are back in action on Friday afternoon against Maine. The non-conference game is scheduled to start at 2:05 p.m. from 84 Lumber Arena. Fans who attend the game will make a donation to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh instead of paying a regular admission fee.

April 12, 2011
Online Press Kit | It's Time Video Promotions | Arizona State Sun Devils Facebook Page | @SparkyArizonaSt
TEMPE - Arizona State University Vice President for Athletics Lisa Love introduced a university-wide athletics brand and identity program on Tuesday, April 12, in the Ventana Room at the ASU Memorial Union on the Tempe campus.
The University has teamed with the world's premier athletic branding company, Nike for the past 12 months in a major re-branding campaign that will launch April 12. Sun Devil athletics is a Nike school and will benefit further from this association.
"When I arrived at ASU six years ago I noticed we were an athletics program which featured different shades of maroon and gold, different logos, multiple fonts and uniforms," says Love. "There was a lack of real consistency with regard to our brand. This partnership with Nike, which began nearly a decade ago for uniforms, will springboard us to a new level of branding, giving us a coordinated university-wide focus that will support our aspirations as a high-performance athletic organization."
"We are proud of the longstanding relationship we have had with Arizona State," said Todd Van Horne, Nike's Global Creative Director. "Nike is a company that was born out of innovation. This combined with ASU's spirit of innovation and change has helped us create a bold and powerful brand for Sun Devil Athletics."
During the unveiling, student-athletes representing the sports of football, basketball, softball and volleyball will model new uniforms for the 2011-12 season. All 21 of ASU's sports teams will receive new uniforms. These uniforms will incorporate consistent use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals. A brand and identity standards manual will be made available to licensees and university personnel detailing the new standards and design elements.
Throughout the project, equal attention was devoted to maintaining an appreciation for the traditions of the past, while positioning ASU for the future.
"As an athletics program and a university, we have undergone many changes over ASU's 100-year history," says Love. "We have studied our past and are fully committed to moving boldly forward into the future."
Throughout the process, ASU and Nike conducted focus groups and solicited feedback from student-athletes, coaches, students, faculty/staff, alumni, and fans.
The research yielded a set of recommendations for the development of the Sun Devil brand architecture, comprised of:
A primary and secondary color palette
A custom Sun Devil Athletics font
An exclusive and contemporary mark to be used consistently across all Sun Devil teams First, the rebranding adds two colors to the athletics color palette of maroon and gold: copper, for its prominence in Arizona history, and black, a long-anticipated return to the Sun Devil attitude.
The return of black to the Sun Devil attitude is a nod to the football teams of the 50's that wore black helmets. That combined with the strength, power and attitude black exudes made it an obvious choice for a third primary color. Additionally, Sun Devil Athletics has long embraced the majesty of the Arizona landscape, making copper, one of the states most recognized resources, a natural choice as an accent color.
Second, Nike developed a custom athletic font called Sun Devil Bold. This font, which is exclusive to Sun Devil Athletics, incorporates unique characteristics intended to represent the horns of its mascot Sparky or the tines of the pitchfork he carries.
The branding of merchandise will extend beyond athletic uniforms to casual apparel aimed at the Sun Devil consumer. This merchandise will be available to the general public in retail outlets, including Sparky's Stadium Shop at Sun Devil Stadium, the ASU Bookstore and online at www.thesundevils.com.
Representatives from ASU athletics and Nike will be present at this event to provide additional information about the scope and benefits of the brand and identity program.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Seeds & Propagation
Seed Catalog Savvy (page 2 of 4)
by Kathy Bond Borie
Reading between the lines
Once you get beyond the pictures, the variety descriptions can help put a plant's attributes into clearer perspective. Descriptions usually include specifications, such as plant height and spread, flower size, fruit size, the number of days to fruit or flower. Of course, these numbers are rough estimates because every garden has a unique climate. The written descriptions are also places for the company's expertise to show through. When the description gives a lot of concrete information about the attributes of a plant and details about how to grow it, this increases your confidence in that company and your chances of success.
Catalog companies steer away from negative words to describe a plant, but some companies are more direct than others about pointing out a plant's drawbacks. For example, the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange catalog description of the heirloom 'Old Time Tennessee' muskmelon reads "Must be harvested exactly at peak ripeness and not a good keeper, but flavor is outstanding." Now you know that if you can only get to the garden once a week to check for ripe fruits, you're better off selecting a different variety. This truthfulness in advertising might just sell you on buying from a particular company. Of course, words can be misleading too. If you compare flowers on the basis of descriptive words alone--a "gorgeous" flower versus a "beautiful" flower versus a "lovely" flower--the terms become meaningless. Watch for certain words that may be telling you more than you think. For example;
* "Mild-tasting" might mean bland.
* A "vigorous" grower may take over the garden.
* Vegetables touted for their "beauty" may not be especially tasty.
* A "pungent" plant may actually have an offensive smell.
* "Late-maturing" could mean risky in all but warm regions.
Quality assurance
Legally, there are only a few specifics that must be on all seed packets. In 1940, the U.S. Government passed the Federal Seed Act, which guarantees a certain level of quality for all vegetable seed sold in packets weighing less than 1 pound. The law requires that the packet include information about the type and variety of seed enclosed and the company name and address. In addition, hybrid seed must be labeled as such. If the seed has met or has exceeded the federal germination standard for that variety, the packet does not need to contain any information about germination percentage. If the germination rate was lower than the standard for that type of vegetable, the packet must state that the seed is below standard and include the germination percentage and the date of the test. There are no federal regulations for flower seed packets; however some states do have requirements.

|Idaho women take streak on road
The Idaho women's basketball team will look to extend its winning streak to four games on Thursday as it pays UT Arlington a visit for a 5 p.m. tipoff.
The Vandals have gotten to .500 for the first time this season by winning six of their last seven games. Idaho enters the game with a 12-12 overall record and a 9-4 mark in Western Athletic Conference play, while UT Arlington is 4-18 overall and 2-10 in the WAC.
Idaho junior Alyssa Charlston is nearing the 1,000 career point milestone, as she enters the game with 997 points, needing just three more to become the 18th Vandal player to join the club. The 6-foot-1 post is averaging 14.2 points per game this season.
Charlston's 1,000-point milestone isn't the only historical mark on the line on Thursday. Idaho freshman Christina Salvatore needs four 3-pointers to tie the program's single season record of 76, set by Susan Woolf during the 1998-99 season. Salvatore is averaging 3.0 made 3s per game this season, but has made 15 in her last three games. Idaho can also tie or break the program record for 3-pointers made in a season by making 12 or more. This year's Vandal squad has drained 204 3-pointers, 12 shy of the record 216 made by the 2009-10 team. Idaho has made 12 or more 3-pointers in a game four times this season.
If the Vandals win on Thursday it would mark the first time the team has been over .500 since March 9, 2011, when it was 15-14. The last time an Idaho team won four consecutive games was February of 2005.
UT Arlington snapped its nine-game losing streak with a 73-72 2OT win at Texas State last week before falling 73-45 to UTSA. The Mavericks are led by 8.9 points per game. Aron Garcia averages 6.4 points and 7.8 rebounds for UTA.
Idaho will wrap up its road trip at Louisiana Tech on Feb. 16 and then have 11 days off before its next game, a matchup with UTSA in the Cowan Spectrum on Feb. 28.

ZF-6729: Add support for streaming file uploads to Amazon S3
Currently the full file data need to be passed to putObject(), and can cause problems with PHP's memory limit with large files.
Specifying a file name or PHP steam from which the data is gradually copied (without putting it into a PHP string) when the HTTP request is actually made would be better. This most likely requires changes in Zend_HTTP_Client and its adapters as well. As for the Socket adapter, using stream_copy_to_stream() works perfect.
Slightly related to some elements of the comments on ZF-3758
I am not familiar with S3 APi, but does this not work with the cURL adapter?
The PHP curl extensiion is not available on all PHP environments, so that is not a general solution.
Needs ZF-6736 for streaming, I'll take care of it.
Fixed in trunk, now S3 supports streaming in upload and download.
So, looks like this'll be in 1.10

This is so cool. Makes amazing hoppers, they are so life like and are very easy to assemble. The cutters work perfectly, and are so easy to use. Used these flies in Wyoming on the brookies and the browns in the Big Horn Mountains. They ate them like they were going out of style.

ZF-9919: Wrong scheme set in Zend_View_Helper_ServerUrl constructor
I'm reporting a bug in the Zend_View_Helper_ServerUrl constructor. During my works I found that I was on a SSL-encrypted page but found links which weren't using the https scheme. After clicking on these I wasn't on a secure page anymore (security risk, therefore critical).
These templates were calling serverUrl() which is a method of the Zend_View_Helper_ServerUrl class. So I found out that its constructor isn't setting the scheme properly because it doesn't parse $_SERVER properly. Currently it parses only $_SERVER['HTTPS'] to find out if the current page is SSL encrypted or not.
Ideally we also should parse $_SERVER['HTTP_SCHEME'] and $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], here a temporary solution which works for me:
public function __construct()
if ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) &&
(strcasecmp($_SERVER['HTTPS'], 'on') === 0 ||
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] === true)) ||
(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_SCHEME']) &&
(strcasecmp($_SERVER['HTTP_SCHEME'], 'https') === 0)) ||
(isset($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']) &&
$scheme = 'https';
} else {
$scheme = 'http';
$_SERVER['HTTP_SCHEME'] is used when pages have been redirected by nginx, so we can't ignore that. Many thanks for your attention and bugfixing it.
Probably this isn't a bug. But can you give at least subclasses a chance to tell the constructor in which indexes of $_SERVER it should parse for any indications that the current request is a SSL one?
Probably a protected method returning an array, by default array('HTTPS') which could be overwritten in my subclass with array('HTTPS', 'HTTP_SCHEME')
