Comments about WARRIOR Men's Zoo Complete Lacrosse Goalie Stick:
We bought this stick a year ago for our 12 year old son who had just started to play goalie. It seemed to be a good price for a beginner. Initially we had to have the head restrung as it was very difficult to keep the ball in the pocket. It's a heavier head and stick than many other goalie head/sticks but it worked okay. He used it one summer season (15 games) and one clinic per week through the fall and winter. This spring during his fourth game, he blocked a hard shot off the edge of the head and it cracked the head in half, rendering it useless. Regardless of price, we feel a Warrior Goalie Head should last longer than 20 games and once weekly clinics. Final thoughts: Good for a back up stick or a practice stick for a beginner, but really, really not good for a higher level of play or for long term use.

Popular young adult lit has plenty of adult fanatics, but remember, kids are meant to be the biggest fans.
Megan Garcia, 14, St. George
Fanatic about: The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, which follows a girl in the future who's picked to battle other "tributes" to the death for entertainment.
Total geek moment: Megan wouldn't see The Hunger Games movie with her best friends until they both read the book. Same goes for her mom.
If she were a character: "I'd keep close to the other tributes, because the Capitol might attack if I get too far away. I'd also hunt for my food, because eating berries is a really bad idea."
Connor Biser, 9, Provo
Fanatic about: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, which is about a young wizard who has adventures with his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Total geek moment: Waving the stick that he pretends is a wand around to control the movement of leaves. Along with wands, Connor creates his own potion books, quills and scrolls.
Sharing with friends: "At school, about five of us started this dueling club," Connor says. "We have pencils we pretend are wands and have battles with them."
Emma Black, 15, Murray
Fanatic about: The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart, a book series about a group of kids chosen to go on missions for a secret society.
Total geek moment: "Let's just say it's not a good idea to read books late at night. Your mom sees the light and takes them away. She hides them, and you don't see them for a week."
Why she loves it: She got hooked on this middle-grade series through a Murray Library book club, and she can't get enough of the adventure.

Price: $35.00
This 30-year photographic look at one middle-class family from Louisville, Kentucky, is Americana at its most evocativeat once moving, modest, and quietly magnificent.
Conceived in the 20th century and carried into the 21st, this remarkable collection peers into every aspect of one particular family's life to produce an album that is instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever shared the American experience.
A gifted photojournalist whose 250 discerning images speak for themselves, Pam Spaulding started to record the simple, unscripted "real life" events of the McGarveys immediately after the birth of the couple's first baby in 1977 and ended with the wedding of the second of their three children in 2007.
From the death of a beloved dog to Dad McGarvey struggling to assemble a toy aircraft carrier in the wee hours of Christmas, these are scenes that all of us know yet rediscover with astonishing force.
From proud young parents to their kids squabbling in the backseat of the family car to the next generation of newlyweds, it's all herelove, humor, intimacy, tragedy, loyalty.
Pam Spaulding has been a photojournalist at the Louisville Courier-Journal for 35 years. She has taught for the National Press Photographers Association.
Claude Cookman is an associate professor of journalism at the Indiana University school of journalism. He has been a writer and picture editor for numerous periodicals.

Post subject: Conservatism
I found this an interesting article on different kinds of conservatism. David Brooks thinks of himself as a conservative, I believe, but hasn't been comfortable with what has been happening on the right.

Really good essay. There's an interesting corollary essay in today's Guardian, entitled, I think, Romney and the Myth of the self-made millionaire. It's down at the bottom of the Guardian home page--#4 in the most read today section. I'd give the URL if I knew how to do it correctly; I'm never successful doing it, though, so hope this works.

Yeh, I thought Brooks really nailed it. It's so refreshing to hear someone write about humanity and balance, and not just all about economics.
Is this the article you meant?
It's a really good one too. I particularly liked the term "Romnesia" which is exactly the point; and the last paragraph--
Equal opportunity, self-creation, heroic individualism: these are the myths that predatory capitalism requires for its political survival. Romnesia permits the ultra-rich both to deny the role of other people in the creation of their own wealth and to deny help to those less fortunate than themselves. A century ago, entrepreneurs sought to pass themselves off as parasites: they adopted the style and manner of the titled, rentier class. Today the parasites claim to be entrepreneurs.
I also found another interesting article about how more polls are showing Romney slipping:
That one is an editorial but the main NYT lead is also "Polls Point to Larger Lead for Obama in Ohio and Florida"

That's the one. Romney doesn't seem to be getting very good press anywhere, does he. The election has become more interesting, though, primarily for the writing it has generated rather than the candidates or their stances.

Hate to rain on any parades here, but the distinction in the article has a major flaw. It is not deliniating factions of American Conservatism. It is actually differentiating between actual conservatism - little "c" (Burke . . .etc) - and American Conservatism - which is more like classical liberalism - little "l".
In the late 70s and early 80s a major branding shift began to happen in the political parties. The DNC co-opted the term "Liberal" after the GOP threw it at them in an attempt to appeal to a more socially conservative base . . . thus becoming "Conservatives".
In actuality, the GOP attempts to model itself on classically liberal lines - a focus on individualism - while the DNC attempts to model itself on the classicly conservative reliance on government for social order and engineering. Both parties have an interesting mix of the two schools of thought depending on whether the issue at hand is social or economic. So, because of the confusion of terms, this article is really comparing apples to oranges.

From Wikipedia:
Ottawa Citizen commentator David Warren has identified Brooks as the sort of conservative pundit that liberals like, someone who is "sophisticated" and "engages with" the liberal agenda, in contrast to a "real conservative" like Charles Krauthammer. When asked what he thinks of charges that he's "not a real conservative" or "squishy,"
Brooks has said that "if you define conservative by support for the Republican candidate or the belief that tax cuts are the correct answer to all problems, I guess I dont fit that agenda. But I do think that Im part of a longstanding conservative tradition that has to do with Edmund Burke, which is be cautious, don't think you can do all things by government planning, and Alexander Hamilton, who wanted to use government to help people compete in the capitalist economy."
In the same interview with Howard Kurtz in September 2012 Brooks talked about being criticized from the conservative side, saying "if its from a loon, I dont mind it. I get a kick out of it.
This is a Forbes piece on that Brooks' column:
Brooks is in a perfect position to read the Riot Act. For most of the last thirty years, he has been one of the Republican partys more prominent spear carriers, having generally supported its ideology in a succession of commentariat jobs at National Review, the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal, and latterly at the New York Times.
In condemning the partys obsession with simplistic economic ideology, Brooks is again displaying the sort of intellectual leadership that has long been sorely lacking in both American political parties. His basic point is surely right: the human condition cannot be reduced to mere accounting pluses and minuses.

Upgrading of cataloging-in-publication (CIP) records
CIP records are bibliographic data created pre-publication by the Library of Congress in the United States and by national cataloging agencies in other countries. Those records are supplied to publishers for printing in the book and are also loaded into WorldCat. Because physical description and other elements required in a complete cataloging record are not available prior to publication and the title or other elements may be different when the book is published, all CIP records require upgrading for accuracy and completeness.
Drastically reducing the number of CIP records
OCLC established a CIP upgrade program in 1995 in response to requests from users of PromptCat (now known as WorldCat Cataloging Partners). Libraries desire full-level records through this offline cataloging record service when possible to minimize handling by their staff. When the PromptCat service began, nearly half of the records delivered were CIP records. Since the establishment of the CIP program, less than 10 percent of records that arrive are CIP.
OCLC established the CIP upgrade program to save libraries time and make cataloging more efficient. Before this program, routine CIP upgrading within WorldCat by anyone other than the Library of Congress was nonexistent. Each library needed to upgrade the record each time a CIP book was received.
Who can perform upgrading?
Now, any user of OCLC cataloging products with Full or higher authorization can add 300 field data as database enrichment. Also, as part of the Expert Community functionality, the same users may edit and/or upgrade any other aspect of a CIP record (that is not coded as PCC) except for the Encoding Level. Encoding Level can be changed only by Enhance participants at the National level. OCLC member libraries with National level Enhance authorization may upgrade the master record to make it a full-level record.
OCLC continues to load Library of Congress upgrades as soon as they are available. Once a record is upgraded, the libraries that eventually receive the book are free of the upgrading burden.
Additional program components
To supplement member upgrading, OCLC's CIP upgrade program consists of two distinct components. In November 1995, OCLC undertook the first component by starting a CIP Upgrade Unit at Academic Book Center in Portland, Oregon. Academic Book Center became a Blackwell company in 1999, and Academic Book Center's operations merged with Blackwell's Book Services in late 2003. In January 2004, the OCLC CIP Upgrade Unit relocated to Blackwell's Book Services warehouse in Blackwood, New Jersey. That unit was closed in December 2010 when the Blackwell operation was consolidated into the YBP Library services warehouse. CIP upgrades are currently being done by OCLC's LTS office in Winnipeg, Canada, LC, Library and Archives Canada, and UK MARC CIP records are upgraded with book in hand.
The second component involves contributions from other library material vendors. YBP Library Services, Ingram Library Services, and Quality Books submit batches of their LC CIP upgrades to OCLC. OCLC loads these upgrades within one working day of receiving the files. Additionally, Follett Library Resources staff members work online to upgrade CIP records.
The numbers
With all of these partners, approximately 34,000 records per year are currently being upgraded. With LC producing between 50,000 and 60,000 CIP records per year, OCLC's upgrade program provides upgrades for more than half the LC records.

Release Notes for Cisco iSCSI Driver
Version 3.4.2 for IBM AIX
November 19, 2003
These release notes support Cisco iSCSI Driver version 3.4.2 for IBM AIX.
For a list of software caveats that apply to version 3.4.2, see the "Caveats" section. The caveats are updated for every maintenance version and are located on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
•Obtaining Technical Assistance
•Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
The Cisco iSCSI Driver for AIX provides an IP host with the ability to access storage through an IP network. The iSCSI driver uses the iSCSI protocol to transport SCSI requests and responses over an IP network between the IP host and a Cisco SN 5400 Series system.
Architecturally, the iSCSI driver combines with the IP host's TCP/IP stack, network drivers, and network interface cards (NICs) to provide the same functions as a SCSI or a Fibre Channel adapter driver with a host bus adapter (HBA).
The iSCSI driver provides a transport for SCSI requests and responses for storage devices; however, instead of providing a transport for directly attached devices, the driver transports the SCSI requests and responses between the IP host and the target system via an IP network.
Once the iSCSI driver is installed and started, the host proceeds with a discovery process for storage devices.
A more technical description of the driver's design and its features can be found in the readme file that accompanies the iSCSI driver in the downloaded driver archive file.
Note The iSCSI protocol is an IETF-defined protocol for IP storage (ips). For more information about the iSCSI protocol, refer to the IETF standards for IP storage at http://www.ietf.org.
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for version 3.4.s and includes the following information:
•Operating System Requirements
•SN 5400 Series System Software Requirements
Operating System Requirements
•This driver requires an IP host running the IBM AIX 4.3.3, 5.1 (32 bit), or 5.2 (32 bit) operating system. IBM recommends that all AIX systems be upgraded with the most current patch set.
The following packages must be installed on the host:
These packages are available on the IBM AIX operating system CD.
•The driver supports single-processor and multiprocessor machines.
•To ensure the best performance for iSCSI drivers, the extended windowing feature of TCP should be enabled on all IP hosts. In general, a larger window size enhances system performance.
•The receive and transmit flow control feature of the Gigabit Ethernet driver should be enabled on all IP hosts.
SN 5400 Series System Software Requirements
The iSCSI Driver version 3.4.2 for IBM AIX is interoperable with a Cisco SN 5400 Series system running software release 3.2 or later. This version of the driver is not interoperable with a Cisco SN 5400 Series system running software release 2.5 or earlier.
New and Changed Information
The iSCSI Driver version 3.4.2 for IBM AIX now includes support for the AIX 5.1 (32 bit) operating system, in addition to AIX 4.3.3 and 5.2 (32 bit).

IT'S A WARM morning, and the front door to Julie Bowen's home in one of Los Angeles's woody canyons is open. Not slightly ajar but wide open, the kind of open that sightseers on Hollywood tour buses dream about.
"I'm in here," a voice calls from somewhere deep inside the house.
When Bowen is finally located, she's on her knees in the kitchen with a spray bottle of cleaning fluid in one hand and a sponge in the other, scrubbing frantically at something on the stainless steel refrigerator. A trio of red hook-on high chairs are clipped to the island (she has three sons: Oliver, four, and twins Gustav and John, two), plastic toys are strewn across an adjacent room, and the smell of quiche is in the air. Bowen is dressed like a woman with a lot on her plate: loose cotton blouse, slip-on sneakers and a pair of denim cutoffs that showcase her long legs. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail. "I used to be much more uptight because I like things to be neat," she says, waving helplessly at the upheaval. An unfiltered talker ("I blabber incessantly, and then I apologize for it later," she once told Conan O'Brien, by way of defining her conversational style), she soon begins second-guessing her decision to invite a reporter over at a time when her home is uncharacteristically kid free. "It's quiet," she says. "But then I'm like, She's going to think that I live this life of leisure. Like I lounge about my house." No one who knows anything about the 41-year-old Bowen would mistake her for a couch sprawler. Nothing if not tenacious, she's worked steadily for two decades on cult TV shows like Ed, Boston Legal and Weeds, playing smart, complicated, type A beauties who often have an aura of life-didn't-turn-out-the-way-I-planned sadness. But not until last year and her hit ABC series Modern Family (she's been twice Emmy-nominated for the role) did she achieve the kind of breakout success most actresses latch onto in their twenties or not at all. And the roles keep rolling in. Between Modern episodes, Bowen found time to film two movies: Jumping the Broom, in which she plays an African-American couple's hand-wringing wedding planner, and Horrible Bosses, a comedy in which she is the trophy wife of a brutish Kevin Spacey. Bowen is getting it all—the big career, the accolades, the family—at just the point in life when she can not only handle it all but also put it in perspective...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jewels Im glad I bought these! I bought 6 salad forks at my local store and was so pleased with them. I then went on line and bought enough to make an 8 piece place setting. I also added the serving set, they are very large in size which is nice. March 2, 2009
Rated 1 out of 5 by bina29 Inaccurate pictures I chose to order the entire Luna silverware set because I loved the look of this "fat" flatware. The pieces appeared wider than other flatware I looked at and that is what attracted me to it. After receiving the pieces, however, I ended up returning all of them because not only would I not call them fat, but they're actually rather slender looking pieces. They may still be attractive to others, but the pieces are not at all what the pictures depict on the internet. Also, I read somewhere that these are smudge-proof; absolutely not true. My fingerprints (and my hands were washed) showed up all over. June 24, 2013

Animal- I might have known you'd go off the deep end. I guess you're right, once a person has donned the uniform they are chastened, pure and forever honorable. No chance for corruption, no possibility for the abuse of power, the perfect leader. That ought to be the litmus test for all future leaders of the country. Yep, you betcha.
Ok. Where in my comment did I say that... "Someone who is willing to give his life for our country is wrong!" your words. Where? We were talking about your idea to LIMIT the job of Pres. to someone who has served in the military, but you take my comment to imply that I would disqualify those who have served. Where is your reasoning power? And where do you come off calling a man who received more than 50% of the electorates votes TWICE, a "wannabe DICTATOR"? Eisenhower was the last Pres. to do that!! You sound like Lorrexx reborn.

Requiring the President to have served in the armed forces - Animal - would pretty much complete the militarization of the USA. No thanks, no way, no how. Never, ever, do that. Could judging a candidate by his foreign conquests be far behind? Can you say Empire?

It should stay! And I agree is women want to be equals they should also have to reg. The numbers of military personal should be greatly increased, and they should be trained and treated as we were 40 years ago! They shouldn,t be driving up and down the streets at 4:00 in the afternoon!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by EClifton Lumbar pillows brown and red Really like these! Bought two red and a brown. They go nicely with my decor. They are soft and comfortable, and I like I can take off the slip cover and wash it. Good value and I used a coupon to save money and got free shipping. Pretty happy! September 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dizzybroad Nice pillow I'm happy with the pillow overall. The red was a shade darker than my ideal, but all in all, it makes a great impact. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PErsimmonPulp Bright Spot This lumbar pillow is a great size to toss onto a couch or chair and add intense color without overpowering the furniture around it. And being velvet, they are soft and intense. December 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Giselle More of a Maroon. I wish I would've read the reviews first. The red is much darker in person than in the picture. I will keep it anyway. But more for the pillow form. Use it for another pillow I have. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by peppersmom001 Not the color pictured I ordered this pillow online due to the wonderful experiences I have had with all my World Market online purchases. I would not have bought this if I had seen it in person, but it has both good and bad points. First, the color is odd. It seems more of a maroon shade, but, being velvet, there are variations in that shade that go one way or the other with the nap so that, in some lights, you see the red that it wants to be. But its NOT bright red. A minus. Second, I love that the cover zips off and is washable. A definite plus. Third, the fabric, although 100% cotton, just feels strange, very stiff and sort of bristly. I'm thinking of washing it and using fabric softener to see if that helps. A minus. Fourth, the insert is firm without being hard which is another plus. Overall, I think I'll keep it because I would lose too much by sending it back, but its not my favorite piece. August 12, 2013

Holly Hill issues citywide boil water notice Thursday evening
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:21 p.m.
A precautionary boil water notice has been issued for Holly Hill following the rupture of a water main on Walker Street, an official said.
Holly Hill Police Chief Mark Barker said the main ruptured after a woman driving an SUV accidentally struck a fire hydrant about 4:45 p.m. Thursday.
"The damage to the fire hydrant was such that it ruptured a water main, and the water was escaping at such a rate the SUV was partially submerged at about 3 feet," Barker said. "It's going to effect a substantial amount of utility users in the area."
Utility crews are expected to work past midnight in Holly Hill to fix a ruptured water main on Walker Street between Jarecki and Graham avenues, Barker said.
Water for drinking or cooking should be allowed to boil for one minute. Bacteriological tests will determine when the boil notice can be lifted, Barker said.
Residents are asked to use LPGA Boulevard or Flomich Street as Walker Street will be closed overnight between Jarecki and Graham avenues.
"We're just urging everyone to please avoid the area," Barker said.
He also said residents can expect low water pressure through the night.
The accident is under investigation, and the driver did not suffer any injuries, Barker said.

As promised Friday, here I shall reply to Ehrman's longest reply to me to date (in Fuller Reply to Richard Carrier, mostly responding to my critique of his book). I won't rehash the points I already addressed in my previous response (see Round One). Here I'll just cut to the chase:
Was Pilate a Procurator?
Ehrman finally does what he should have done originally (take note of this trend: it confirms the entire point of my original critique), and asks an expert. But what he didn't do was read the scholarship I pointed him to (my article, which references the most definitive literature on the point: in fact it is rather important to this whole debate and my subsequent remarks here that we read my paper's section on what a procurator was in the time of Jesus).
The view that Claudius changed the title of Judaean governors from prefect to procurator has long since been refuted (most conclusively by the work of Fergus Millar; contrary to what Ehrman's quotation might seem to suggest, the PIR his colleague translates the Latin of on this point is a modern source, not an ancient one, and thus represents an outdated scholarly assumption and not what anyone in antiquity actually said). For example, Herod the Great was appointed procurator of Syria, before Claudius was even born, and even Cicero attests the practice of prefects being simultaneously appointed procurators. The surviving evidence extensively confirms no province or district was ever governed by a procurator who was not also a prefect, at least to the end of the second century (as Millar and others document).
In the paper I linked to above I extensively document all of this, including the sources and scholarship establishing that (a) many prefects were simultaneously also procurators, well before Claudius, and that this was especially the case for major provincial prefects (as we know most conclusively for the prefect of Egypt, neighboring Judea, and I also list evidence the same was true of Pilate), and that (b) this has been known to modern specialists in Roman imperial administration for at least forty years.
In fact, procurator is not a government office, but a private one (it means business agent), and prefects were often simultaneously appointed imperial procurators so they could handle the private affairs of the emperor using the legal apparatus of state power (precisely through holding the prefecture). I discuss this at length, and reference the scholarship on it, in the article that I summarize on my blog (and link to above), to which I directed readers in my critical review of Ehrman. I would ask that Ehrman have his informant read that piece (the specific link I provide above; he only need read the relevant section of the academic article, which that link will take him to directly), and then relay what they say in reply. Notice what happens.
Did Ehrman Overlook Tacitus Scholarship?
When discussing his failure to mention that the mythicists had some scholarly support for their questioning of the passage on Christ in Tacitus, Ehrman misrepresents my argument in various ways. For example, he says:
Carrier says this is "crap," "sloppy work," and "irresponsible," and indicates that if I had simply checked into the matter, I would see that I'm completely wrong.
First, I did not say he was completely wrong. In fact I said very much the opposite. Here is what I actually wrote (emphasis now added):
That the overall consensus of scholarship, myself included, sides with Ehrman on the conclusion is true (I am sure the passage is authentic and has not been relevantly altered), but that does not change the fact that readers are being seriously misled by Ehrman's characterization of the matter. For him to claim that mythicists "just made this up" because it was convenient for them is false. But more alarming to me is the fact that this demonstrates that he didn't even check. And again, if he didn't check this, what else didn't he check? This kind of sloppy work, the failure to check his facts, to do any basic research we should expect of a scholar, and consequently to misrepresent his opponents and their position, and misinform the public about the debate, is the same kind of crap we get from the bad mythicists.
Notice. I did not say he was completely wrong, but that he was mostly right, and was only misleading readers by giving the impression that mythicists were on their own here. I also did not mean that this particular incident makes the book crap. To the contrary, if it were only a few cases like this I would barely make an issue of it. Rather, as you can see from the quote above I was saying this kind of thing, repeated throughout the book, is the same crap Ehrman himself calls out mythicists for. In other words, I am saying it is the number of cases like this that made his work sloppy. Not just this instance. Because just one instance wouldn't (nor even two).
I ended every section of my review with similar remarks, explaining why I was presenting each example as one instance of a pervading trend. In fact earlier on I said:
[O]ne or two mistakes like this would be excusable. We all make them. And we can't all know everything. But my point is that this is an example of a pervasive number of similar errors throughout the book…
Ehrman now makes it seem like I was saying just this one Tacitus oversight makes his work "sloppy" and the same "crap" he convicts the bad mythicists of (and yet he, too, made his point about them by just selecting a few examples, just as I did). That was not my point at all. My point was the same as his: we find so many things like this, that we must dismiss their work as unreliable. Ehrman mischaracterizes my argument in order to avoid it, turning it instead into just a few nitpicks, which if that were an acceptable defense, he would have to accept it from the mythicists he dismisses, too.
On the charge of irresponsibility, this is what I actually said (emphases now added):
This is important, because part of Ehrman's argument is that mythicists are defying all established scholarship in suggesting this is an interpolation, so the fact that there is a lot of established scholarship supporting them undermines Ehrman's argument and makes him look irresponsible.
In other words, his argument depends on there being no scholarly basis for the mythicists' doubt of the passage. This is why his new defense doesn't address my point. Ehrman says now, "my point is that I was not trying to make a statement about the history of Tacitus scholarship; I was stating what scholars today think." This I would credit as a fair statement (assuming, again, that he checked), but it's not what he says in the book (nor does he now mention whether Benario's subsequent surveys document anyone rebutting the scholarship he summarized on this passage before; just because the topic didn't come up in later years doesn't mean it has been universally rejected, or even rebutted, a fallacious kind of inference that typifies Ehrman's continual shortcomings in logic). In fact, if all Ehrman meant were that no current Tacitus expert doubts the passage, then his book's argument doesn't hold up. He would have to change that argument to make this new premise work.
It must also be noted that Ehrman still doesn't admit that he tars the competence of mythicists when he tells his readers (and regardless of what he meant, what his readers will take him to mean is the issue: because it is that that I have to constantly correct and therefore makes the book bad) that no competent expert would ever agree with them and that they are the only ones coming up with these ideas. But if serious qualified experts had the same notions, that seriously alters the entire impression of the matter. It's not a crazy idea coming out of left field anymore. It's just wrong. And the difference is huge. This should be particularly clear to someone who acts like such criticisms are personal attacks and unfair. Ehrman made his opponents look crazier and less competent than they are. That is much more of an unfair personal attack than what Ehrman is putting up with from me (since unlike him, I am accurately representing what he said). That he doesn't even see this plank in his own eye while complaining about the splinter in ours is ironic coming from an expert on Jesus.
But more importantly, this change in the point (from "no scholar says" to "no scholar today says") also significantly changes how Ehrman must argue: now he can't say the mythicists are making this up and have no scholarly support, but he must argue instead that though there are published scholarly arguments for their conclusion, they have been rejected, which requires him to show that they have been (that no one has since published on it, pro or con, does not mean the issue is dead or that no living scholar is at least agnostic on the issue), or else that they have been because of x, y, and z (whatever the arguments are that lead scholars not to be convinced by the previous work challenging the passage; which would require Ehrman to actually find out what those are–in other words, it would require him to do his job).
It is for these reasons that this book sucks. Ehrman has to make excuses for repeatedly saying misleading things, and for not having checked to confirm the things he claims. I am not convinced Ehrman even knows why most scholars are convinced the Tacitus passage is authentic. But I wouldn't care about that. All he had to say was that few scholars accept the notion that the passage is inauthentic in any way. That would be a fair enough point. Instead he gave the impression that no expert would ever think that, that only mythicists came up with it. And again, do not mistake this for a one-off goof. This is typical of how Ehrman treats the mythicists; I only gave representative examples of each kind of error. And that was my review's central point.
Of course, a thorough investigation would require more, such as actually examining the reasons for and against accepting the passage and arriving at a conclusion therefrom. Ehrman might have legitimately avoided that labor by saying what I would say (and do say), that I welcome anyone making that case in a new peer reviewed article, but until then I have to side with the broadest contemporary consensus of experts where I myself see no good reason to reject it. This would at least be honest. Instead he made it look like mythicists have no support from published scholarship and are the only ones thinking these things. And it's that that is the problem.
Are There Dying and Rising Gods?
Ehrman argues:
It is true that Osiris "comes back" to earth to work with his son Horus … Literally, he came "from Hades." But this is not a resurrection of his body. His body is still dead. He himself is down in Hades, and can come back up to make an appearance on earth on occasion. This is not like Jesus coming back from the dead, in his body; it is like Samuel in the story of the Witch of Endor, where King Saul brings his shade back to the world of the living temporarily (1 Samuel 28). How do we know Osiris is not raised physically? His body is still a corpse, in a tomb.
Of course the same is most likely true of Jesus (as I and several scholars have argued: see my Empty Tomb FAQ; even conservative scholar N.T. Wright has suggested the possibility), and obviously this is in fact how Jesus was originally believed to have appeared (in visions, not a walking reanimated corpse), so there is no clear difference from the Osiris case even as Ehrman describes it.
But even granting the difference, this is precisely the kind of distinction that isn't relevant to the point: Osiris is a dead god who still "lives again" and visits and converses with the living. Like all the gods that do this, they do it in their divine resurrection bodies, which have replaced their flesh and blood corpses. This is explicitly stated in the sources for many gods, such as Hercules (see Empty Tomb, p. 137); and many Jews believed the same thing about their own resurrection (and Paul appears to say exactly that in 1 Cor. 15:35-49, declaring that the body that dies is not the body that rises; Josephus describes a similar body-exchange theory as apparently a common view of resurrection among Jews, and we have many examples of both Jews and Christians advocating it: see Empty Tomb, pp. 109-13, 136-37). This is not like the "witch of endor," precisely because these are gods, and gods have divine bodies. That's what makes them gods (and not just impotent spirits). The Jewish view of resurrection was essentially the same view, only extended to humans, who would all become like gods. (A view that actually came from the Zoroastrians, and thus is not uniquely Jewish: see Not the Impossible Faith, chapter 3.)
Insofar as even the first Christians, or certainly later ones, believed Jesus rose from the dead in the same body that died, that would be an element of syncretism with the Jewish belief in corpse reanimation (held by many but not all Jews), or even an adaptation of other pagan views of gods that experience the same kind of resurrection (most clearly, Zalmoxis and Inanna, and perhaps Inanna's consort Tammuz, i.e. Adonis, since as her consort in the same myth, his celebrated resurrection is not likely to have substantially differed from hers, we just don't have the portion of the text that describes it, only external references to it being part of the same cult's myth). Even if the later Christian idea did not come from these pagan same-body resurrection myths, a pagan body-exchange resurrection (returning to earth after their deaths in an immortal glorious resurrection body, as Romulus does, for example) combined with a literalist Jewish resurrection still gets you the version of dying-and-rising god that we meet with, for example, in the Gospel of John. But that's still just a variant of the same mytheme: a god who dies and is then celebrated as having risen again, in a more glorious body than they once had. That's why Osiris is said to have returned to life and been recreated, the exact terms for resurrection, as even Ehrman admits Plutarch freely uses to describe what happened to him.
On all of this take note: Ehrman says his views are the standard in the field, but in defense of the claim he still only names one advocate (Smith). In the link above, in support of my view, I name eight. And in my chapter on resurrection bodies in The Empty Tomb I cite more, including abundant primary evidence. So you decide who to follow on this point.
Did Ehrman Fail to Mention that Some Sources Attest a Christian Belief That Jesus Died a Century Before Pilate?
Yes, he did. Ehrman doesn't deny this. He simply claims that when he said "the view of all of our sources that deal with the matter at all" (on p. 251) he didn't mean all of our sources that deal with the matter at all. (See a trend here?) Even if we believe Ehrman "knew" that all those sources existed and date Jesus as they do, and he just chose not to mention them (even though they are directly pertinent to the hypothesis Wells was arguing), because he was "only" referring to the sources he had previously enumerated (even though the Talmudic passages were one of those sources–see pp. 66-68–so his excuse doesn't even hold up on his own internal logic), even granting all that (which I find hard to do), he still mislead his readers into thinking no such sources exist, and that Wells was just pulling this idea right out of nowhere. Which kind of thing happens repeatedly throughout his book. And that still makes his book an unreliable failure.
Ehrman also (again) deploys an argument in his reply that should have been in the book: that he discounts those sources on this point because they are late; which is in itself a fallacy, since late sources can preserve early tradition, and therefore you have to make an argument for why this is not occurring in this case. Indeed, that this was the belief of what appears to be (a) a pre-Pauline sect of Christianity (the Nazoreans still being Torah observant and having a name similar to what Christians were sometimes called in Paul's time, if we are to trust Acts 24:5) and (b) the only sect of Christianity apparently known to the Babylonian Jews, argues against this being some recent novelty. Even the late existence of such a tradition is hard to explain on Ehrman's theory of Jesus' historicity (how could such a tradition have arisen?), and thus requires explanation, it can't just be ignored. Ehrman would prefer to ignore it. Possibly he would even prefer you not to know of it.
Did Ehrman Tell Everyone the Romans Kept No Records That Would Have Been Relevant to Studying Jesus?
Yes. Once again, he even attempts to stand by this one, although contradicting himself…at one point saying he meant only that we shouldn't expect such records to survive (precisely what I said he should have said in the book, but didn't), and at another point saying that he does indeed deny "any indication that there ever were Roman records of anything" in Palestine. But his arguments here are an embarrassment of fallacies.
Ehrman now says that (at least in Egypt) such records existed and were kept (something he definitely does not tell his readers in his book), but "most of these are not in fact records of Roman officials, but made by indigenous Egyptian writers / scribes." This is twice fallacious (even setting aside his strange assumption that "indigenous Egyptians" could not be Roman officials or in their employ): first, "most" is not "all" (so his point is moot…formally, we call this a non sequitur); second, what he doesn't tell you is that even the private records are frequently the personal copies of government records (e.g. the tax receipts I once translated would be a private citizen's copy of the very same receipt that would enter the government archives). Thus, the fact that we have only the copies, albeit made under official circumstances, often at the same time as the originals, is again moot to the point as to whether the government kept such records. Indeed, that private citizens sought and kept copies of state records precisely proves my point that Christians could have done this, too…had they wanted to, which requires explaining why they didn't.
Ehrman then says he only meant that Romans kept no such records in Palestine. He doesn't actually provide any evidence to back this claim, of course, and it's obviously absurd, the kind of implausible armchair assertion I expect from Christian apologists. Obviously Romans kept the same records in every province that they kept in any.
There might not have been a record of Jesus' birth at the time of his birth (that would depend on where he was really born and whether, instead, any state or local Jewish administration kept such records, e.g. Josephus implies having records of his own ancestry), but if he or his family ever paid Roman taxes, there would be records of that, and if his family was ever the subject of any Roman census at any time while Jesus was alive, there would be a record of that, and along with it a record of his birth, age, and family relations (Tertullian claimed such records existed, although he is unlikely to have really checked). And certainly, there would have been a record of Jesus' trial, of Pilate's ruling, of the execution, and any recorded witness affidavits. There would also be ancillary records, e.g., other trial records or official correspondence (akin to the letter of Claudius Lysias) discussing Christians and their tussles with the Jews or attempts to get them prosecuted in Roman courts, which would certainly have to mention the historical Jesus and information about him.
All we can say is what I myself said, that (as Ehrman correctly phrases it now, but not in his book) we have no reason to expect such records to survive. Although that requires admitting that no early Christians ever had any interest in preserving or using them.
In short, everything I said originally remains the case. Ehrman has no actual rebuttal.
Did Ehrman Libel Doherty?
Yes. Ehrman tries to completely reinterpret what he said on this point, but in this case the direct quotation of Ehrman I provided in my review conclusively rules out his entire attempt to claim to have said something else, so no further reply is needed from me. Just compare my quotation of Ehrman, with what Ehrman now wants you to think that meant, and no reasonable person will conclude with Ehrman on this one: Ehrman wrote "he fails to point out that not a single one of these scholars agrees with his overarching thesis" and now claims that that sentence meant "I am not denying that Doherty sometimes acknowledges that scholars disagree with him." You do the math on that.
Ehrman's comment about Doherty's use of Morna Hooker in particular has already been rebutted by Godfrey and Doherty, and I would add that reading what Doherty actually wrote in context, it's obvious he in no way implied Hooker said Jesus became flesh in outer space; he quotes her on a different point altogether (that Jesus became what we are so that we may share in what he now is; a statement, by the way, I doubt Ehrman has any disagreement with). But even despite that, picking isolated quotations like this is moot anyway, because Ehrman stated a blanket generalization that Doherty never says something that in fact he frequently says–even explicitly about the whole issue of whether any scholar he cites agrees with his overall thesis (his introduction is quite clear about this, and covers all cases). Ehrman simply lies about this–or, again, is such a godawful writer he accidentally said the exact opposite of what he meant to say, and thus completely misrepresents Doherty and misinforms the reader.
Did Ehrman Screw Up His Citation of Pliny?
Here Ehrman agrees with everything I said and insists it was just a typo and he knew everything I said already (that he was referring to two completely separate letters, and he should in each case have said "a" letter in "book" 10 that contains all of Pliny's Trajan correspondence and not have called both letters "letter" 10, and that neither letter connects the two contexts, only modern scholars do). But he still failed to say any of this to his readers (thus even his excuse does not rescue the book from the charge of misinforming the public and therefore being unreliable).
More importantly, I do not believe he's telling the truth here. Because the wording in the book does not look even remotely like he knew that two different letters were being discussed, or that their connection was a scholarly inference and not something directly revealed in the context of "the letter" he twice references. I'll just quote the relevant section in full [skipping only incidental material] and leave this one for you to decide (emphasis added):
…Pliny is best known for a series of letters that he wrote later in life to the Roman emperor, Trajan, seeking advice for governing his province. In particular, letter number 10 from the year 112 CE is important, as it is the one place in which Pliny appears to mention the existence of Jesus. The letter is not about Jesus himself; it is dealing with a political problem. In Pliny's province a law had been passed making it illegal for people to gather together in social groups… The law applied to every social group, including fire brigades….and so villages were burning.
In his letter 10 to the emperor Pliny discusses the fire problem, and in that context he mentions another group that was illegally gathering together. As it turns out, it was the local community of Christians.
So you tell me. Is Ehrman now lying about what he actually thought when writing the above?
In the end Ehrman ducks behind the "it was just a pop book, you shouldn't expect it to be all accurate and the like" defense. This requires no reply. The reader can judge for themselves whether that excuse only makes the whole matter worse. (Can you imagine him accepting that excuse from any of the mythicists he attacks?) He also tries to play the victim card and claim I violated my own principle of interpretive charity. But in fact I did not. I gave him the benefit of a doubt everywhere an innocent explanation was conceivable, exactly as my principle requires (for example, I assumed that when he wrote "Justin of Tiberius" for Justus of Tiberias on p. 50 that that was a mere typo). But my principle also states (exactly as he himself quotes it) that when no such interpretation is plausible, we ought to point that out, so the author can correct their error. Which is exactly what I did.
Thus, his attempt to twist a rule of interpretive charity into a monstrous absurdity doesn't cut it, and only exposes how poor a grasp he has of logical reasoning. Authors don't get to say the exact opposite of what they meant and then claim it is our responsibility to telepathically know that that is what happened. Authors don't get to say things that clearly indicate they badly mishandled their sources, and then claim we are always to assume they never do that. Authors don't get to say things that clearly indicate they didn't check their facts, and then claim we are always to assume they nevertheless did. Indeed, as his own quote of me says, if you cannot reconcile a contradiction or error in my work, you should call me on it so I can correct myself. Well, I called him on it.

It's hard to believe the Rock Hall's new Library and Archives has already been open for a year. Ever since we first opened our doors to the public in January 2012, visitors of all kinds have been steadily flowing in to use our resources for their research and to expand their knowledge of rock and roll and its history.
During 2012, the Library and Archives welcomed nearly 4,000 visitors, many of whom conducted research using one-of-a-kind archival materials in our Archives Reading Room. Our visitors included scholars from around the country, students and teachers from local colleges and universities, authors, documentarians and music fans. The Library and Archives staff also handled more than 800 reference queries, most of which arrived via phone and e-mail.
Many notable people visited the Library and Archives during our first year, including Hall of Fame Inductees Ron Wood, Kenney Jones, and Ian McLagan of the Faces, Chuck Berry, Tom Constanten (Grateful Dead), and Glyn Johns; music writer Peter Guralnick; scholars Craig Werner, David Brackett, and Andy Flory; former National Endowment for the Arts Chairman John Frohnmeyer; Govinda Gallery founder and director Chris Murray; Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux; and Hank LoConti, owner of Cleveland's famous Agora Theatre and Ballroom.
Our staff continued to work hard processing archival collections and cataloging library materials. When we opened last year, 216 archival collections had been processed and made available, and approximately 5,500 library items had been cataloged. Since then, 80 more archival collections were processed and made available, and more than 5,000 additional library items were cataloged. There are now more than 300 archival collections and more than 11,000 library items listed in our online catalog and available to researchers.
The Library and Archives has recently completed a lengthy project to digitally preserve the video footage of past Rock Hall events, including nearly three decades of Induction Ceremonies and 17 years of education programs. These digitization and cataloging efforts have already resulted in hundreds of hours of unique footage being viewable directly from our online catalog from within the Library and Archives facility. And, of course, these numbers continue to grow.
Through the generous support of donors, many new archival collections were acquired last year, including the Austin City Limits/KLRU Collection, the Jane Scott Papers, the Les Paul Papers and the Stewart Copeland Papers. The staff continues to work closely with donors to collect and accession new archival materials to strengthen our collections, and we also acquire new and significant library materials (including books, periodicals, and sound and video recordings) on an ongoing basis. The staff also curated three exhibits at the Library and Archives during our first year in order to showcase some of our collections. One exhibit covered the history of punk rock, another highlighted the life and career of Ahmet Ertegun, and another included a wide array of materials relating to the life and music of Chuck Berry. Next week, we will unveil a new exhibit featuring the work of photographer Jimmy Baynes, whose remarkable black-and-white photographs captured the activities of rock and roll performers and audiences in Cleveland music venues during the 1950s and 1960s.
Additionally, public programs at the Library and Archives began last year and are off to a great start. Our new Author Series is now bringing journalists, critics and scholars to the Library and Archives for free readings and discussion sessions. Authors RJ Smith (The One: The Life and Music of James Brown), Nadine Cohodas (Spinning Blues into Gold: The Chess Brothers and the Legendary Chess Records), and Peter Carlin (Bruce) appeared at Author Series events in 2012, and these events will continue into the future.
The Library and Archives' collections and services continue to expand every day. We couldn't be happier to be able to provide public access to this valuable resource to everyone who needs it, free of charge. We hope to see you at the Library and Archives soon!

A Wilmington Police horse was injured Wednesday when an unleashed pit bull attacked, latching onto the horse's upper leg.
Cpl. Kevin Smith said two mounted officers were on patrol at Second and Chestnut streets downtown when the unleashed pit bull, walking with its owner, went on the attack.
Smith said the horse received several puncture wounds and scratches, but escaped serious injury.
During the melee, the pit bull also bit one of the mounted officers' boots, but didn't cause an injury.
The owner, whose name was not released, was cited for not having the animal on a leash.
The dog was taken into the custody of New Hanover County Animal Control, but has since been released to its owner, New Hanover County Sheriff's Sgt. Jerry Brewer said.
