Top Dad
He May Be Top Chef's Toughest Judge, but to His Wife and Sons—a Teen and a Baby!—Tom Colicchio's a Softie
If Colicchio, 47, is feeling "dead tired" lately, it's with good reason. In August he and his wife of eight years, Lori Silverbush, 40, a filmmaker, welcomed son Luka—just as Colicchio was preparing to launch his latest restaurant, Colicchio & Sons (which opened in January in New York City). But it turns out the man known for being a tough critic on TV is a "mushy teddy bear" when it comes to his family, splitting parenting duties 50-50, Silverbush says. "I'm my own boss, so I can build my schedule around the baby," Colicchio explains. "Luka and I spend mornings together. We sit on the couch and play guitar." Adds Silverbush: "He's not one of those dads where you worry he's going to bathe the baby in boiling water. He's got it under control."
That's because Colicchio's first go-round with fatherhood prepared him to deal with any parenting emergency. In 1993 Colicchio and his then-girlfriend, who was pregnant, learned that the baby was in distress; after an emergency C-section, their son Dante arrived—nearly 2 months premature and weighing only 2 lbs. 5 oz. Dante spent two months in the hospital before coming home, and even then, "the doctors came to us and said he might be blind," Colicchio recalls.
Today, Dante is a healthy 16-year-old and "great big brother," Colicchio says. (Colicchio declined to name Dante's mother, with whom he shares custody.) "Dante and I spend a lot of time just hanging out, watching dumb videos online, playing Xbox. And Luka is content to sit there on my lap, watching us."
Despite this brotherly bonding—not to mention the restaurant he named after his boys—Colicchio insists he isn't dreaming of his sons taking over the family business someday. Instead his real hope as a father "is to raise children who go out in the world," he says, "and do the right thing."

To say that the Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of work to do under new head coach Chip Kelly would be a drastic understatement. The Eagles are officially in a rebuilding phase and wouldn't be foolish to completely rebuild the entire roster during the next six months.
This past season, the Eagles were one of the worst teams in the National Football League, collecting just four victories, including losses in 11 of their final 12 games. Their eight-game losing streak after a 3-1 stretch sealed the fate of Andy Reid, who was immediately fired following the end of the season.
This offseason, the Eagles have already begun the complicated reconstructive process of their once-proud franchise. Veteran quarterback Michael Vick was re-signed to a one-year deal, while former University of Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon was signed because of his familiarity with Kelly's offense.
The Eagles also cut veteran defensive tackles Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson, increasing the likelihood that the team uses a 3-4 defensive front next season.
The team will look to address a lot of its needs in April's draft, but before the draft even begins, the Eagles have the beginning of free agency. Their initial decisions will involve what to do with the eight free agents on their own roster, beginning with former Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and ending with long snapper Jon Dorenbos.
Only one of the eight players is a potential starter, no matter which team he ends up on. Regardless, the Eagles will likely look to re-sign at least a couple of the players, as all have the capability to contribute as key backups on the 2013 roster.
The eight players are as follows: guard Jake Scott, tackle King Dunlap, defensive tackle Derek Landri, defensive end Darryl Tapp, linebacker Akeem Jordan, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, safety Colt Anderson and long snapper Jon Dorenbos.

Press release - Sobriety and Driver's License Checkpoint
Published 5/28/2010 (all press releases for this day)
The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Division conducted two Sobriety and Driver's License checkpoints on May 27th, 2010, from 6:00 P.M. to midnight.
The first checkpoint was conducted in the southbound lanes of Ventura Road @ Devonshire Drive.
The second checkpoint was conducted in the southbound lanes of Oxnard Boulevard @ Citrus Grove Lane.
Officers screened 1,125 motorists who passed through the checkpoints. Officers conducted three DUI investigations with drivers who had been drinking alcohol but no arrests were made.
11 drivers were issued citations for various drivers' license violations. Nine drivers were issued citations for driving without a valid driver's license and two drivers were cited for driving with a suspended or revoked driver's license. Five vehicles were towed from the checkpoints.
While working at the checkpoint on Ventura Road, officers stopped a vehicle as it was approaching the checkpoint. Although the vehicle was stopped for another vehicle code violation, the vehicle was soon discovered to have been reported stolen out of the city of Fillmore on May 26th. The driver of the vehicle, a minor, was arrested by investigating officers for driving a reported stolen vehicle and transported to the Ventura County Juvenile Detention Center.
The Oxnard Police Department will conduct several additional DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols this year. The next DUI checkpoint is scheduled for Saturday night, May 29th, from 6:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M. and will be held in the city of Port Hueneme. These DUI operations are an effort to reduce the number of alcohol related crashes and to make our roadways and community safer. We also remind people that if they see an impaired driver to dial 911. The checkpoints are funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Transportation Administration.
For any questions related to DUI and traffic enforcement, please contact Senior Officer Brian Woolley at (805) 385-7749 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

With OTAs and training camp around the corner, the Carolina Panthers are making the necessary preparations to put the best team possible on the football field. After drafting the future of the team and signing a plethora of free agents—veteran and rookie alike—the Panthers will evaluate their personnel and determine who will help the team win in 2013.
While some positions are locked up, there are others that will be up for grabs this summer and going into the preseason. The secondary offers the most intriguing storylines when camp opens up because there is a lot of competition at safety and cornerback.
So who will make the cut and land a spot on the final 53-man roster?
The following slideshow will breakdown each position and predict starters and their backups when Week 1 opens in September.

A break-in at Daniel Boone High School over the weekend has led police to arrest one of the school's students.
Daniel Schnable was apprehended Monday morning, state police said.
Schnable, 18, of Douglassville, got inside the school around midnight Saturday by smashing a glass front door, said Gary Otto, superintendent, Daniel Boone Area School District.
Schnable then broke into three classrooms inside the building and stole approximately $400 in fundraising money from one of the rooms, said police.
The district believes the student acted alone in the break-in, which wasn't discovered until Sunday afternoon, Otto said. Schnable was identified on surveillance video, police said.
"The student was called up to the office and confessed to his wrongdoing," said Lt. Craig Stine, Pa. State Police.
Students Olivia Imes and Ky Brauler said the stolen cash was fundraising money they were collecting for Relay for Life. So far, they said the student body has raised more than $2,000 through a variety of efforts.
"We sold some chocolate, brownies, stuff like that," said Imes.
"Why would you go in school and break into a school that you go to and take money for a good cause?" said Brauler.
"It probably doesn't make me or any of my friends feel safe knowing that people can just get in when they wish," said Jeremy Wheeler, a student.
Schnable was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft, institutional vandalism and receiving stolen property.

Mashed Potato Chicks
For the winter season, I wanted to make some cute looking mashed potatoes shaped like snowmen. I got the idea from Foodilicious, who recently brought snowmen-shaped potatoes to a blogger potluck I attended. I thought they were so adorable.
My family loves mashed potatoes. Though I have to confess, I often use instant packages because I don't like all the manual labor needed to make my own. So for my "snowmen" mashed potatoes, I used instant ones. I used small pieces of cheese for the nose. And I tried my hardest to find something savory for the eyes, but I couldn't come up with anything other than black sesame but I wanted big adorable eyes. So I ended up using some mini chocolate chips. A little bit of chocolate didn't affect the potatoes in my opinion.
Of course when I finished decorating, my creation looked nothing like snowmen. And with the slightly yellow color from the garlic mashed potatoes, they looked like chicks. So I decided to pass them off as chicks instead.
Either way, I think they are so adorable and fun to eat. And super easy to make. Just roll some mashed potatoes into balls, make the bottom ball bigger than the top, add something for eyes and nose and you are set. A perfect cute treat to bring to a potluck.
Mashed potato chicks
Instant mashed potatoes
cheddar cheese for nose
mini chocolate chips for eyes
1. Make instant mashed potatoes according to instructions on package. Once cooled, roll mashed potatoes in balls. Make balls of two sizes, a large size for base, and a smaller size for the head. When finished, stack the balls to form the chicks.
2. Slice cheddar cheese into small strips. Stick one strip into center of each mashed potato head. Place mini chocolate chips for eyes on each chick.

Are you kidding me!? These are SO adorable! I am pretty amazed at how you got potatoes to roll into balls–do you use less water? Either way, these are just too cute (but not cute enough to resist EATING)!
Also… Don't ask me why I'm up at this hour. Heaven knows. :]
These are so adorable! I don't think I'd ever be able to bring myself to eat one though!
So cute! I had a hard time eating the snowman at the potluck, too. Oh well, cute food is meant to be eaten.
How about black peppercorns for the eyes?

involves the duplication of chromosomes and cell division to produce identical cells--each with the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes= 46 or 23 pair (in humans) Asexual reproduction is associated with mitosis since no sex cells are involved--only one cell dividing to become two identical cells.
involves specialized sex cells called gametes--male=sperm;female=egg. The chromosome number is reduced by half to produce gametes with the haploid number (n) =23, so that when egg and sperm joinm the result zygote has 23 chromosomes from its father and 23 from its mother=46 chromosomes. Sexual reproduction is involved with meiosis sice two parents are required.

I'm in a 12-team, non-PPR league. TDs get 6 pts, standard scoring otherwise, and we start QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, TE, K, DEF. No flex spot.
My team:
QB: Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, David Garrard
RB: Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Ricky Williams, Cadillac WIlliams
WR: Greg Jennings, Steve Smith (NYG), Santana Moss, Mike Williams (TB)
TE: Chris Cooley
K: Mason Crosby
Def: NE
I'm thinking of trading either Schaub or Orton to add a top-line RB/WR/TE or combo of those positions.
There are 2 teams that have no good QBs. One has Gore, J. Finley, Calvin Johnson, and Demaryius Thomas. The other has Jahvid Best, Ryan Matthews, Miles Austin, Reggie Wayne.
Would you trade one of those QBs and if so, which one? Orton's schedule seems better as the season goes on, although who knows if he'll be able to keep up his current pace.
Who would you target - whether on those teams suggested or otherwise?
thanks for the help.

You're not going to get any of those guys you listed with Orton because he doesn't have the name value and not too many experts tout him. Four week's in I doubt you'd trade a first or second pick for someone going in the 8th round (or later).
When you say "no good QBs" they gotta have something better than Garrard cause he's abysmal and you'll need a #2 back in the trade.
I don't think you need to make a move. Sure you could probably use a better RB2/RB3 but Forte is a decent compliment to CJ. It's still early. You'll be the one getting fleeced. You don't have an obvious need. Play to your strength which is depth at QB.
I'd wait for an injury to a top 8 QB to happen and pounce on that team.
Schaub isn't exactly mister durable. I'd wait until after DEN or HOU bye weeks to make a move anyway. Timing isn't cruical. Schaub's numbers aren't great and I think Orton is for real.

What I do
Well, what I do is a little complicated to explain. I'll start with
my job titles. At NASA I've usually ended up with the job title of payload
scientist. Generally speaking, my job title at Lockheed Martin Engineering
and Sciences Company is senior scientist. Most people who work at NASA
facilities actually work for companies which have NASA contracts while
a relative minority work directly for NASA as civil servants. So, technically,
I'm a contractor employee. I work at Ames Research Center (ARC), a NASA
research facility in Mountain View, California about 40 miles south of
San Francisco. I usually work on the development of biology experiments
that fly on the space shuttle. ARC is the NASA center which develops and
flies non-human biology experiments, while the human experiments (in which
the astronauts are experimental subjects) are generally managed out of
Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas.
I'm sort of an overall coordinator of the activities that go on to conduct
such a spaceflight biology experiment. There will typically be a principle
investigator (PI) for the experiment, who will propose an experiment to
NASA. The experiment will go through a scientific review process to make
sure it is a worthwhile experiment to do. Once the experiment is accepted,
I work with the investigator to figure out exactly how to get the experiment
done within the capabilities and constraints of the space shuttle system.
I work with the engineers at NASA (and at NASA contractor companies) to
help build the experiment hardware which will fly in space and sometimes
I help to train the astronauts to do the experiments. Then I help out
with the conduct of the experiments in the prelaunch and postlanding periods.
I'm involved with the experiment from back to front. That's generally
what I do for NASA.
Because Neurolab is a very large project involving about 30 different
investigations and several hundred people, I am working only a couple
of small portions of the project. My title for Neurolab during the prelaunch
period is systems analyst for the Electronic Data Collection System (EDCS).
The EDCS is a system that the science team at Ames has developed, which
we are using at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Essentially the
EDCS works to track food and water consumption and weight gain over time
in experimental laboratory animals, particularly rats and mice. We have
all kinds of rats and mice in a big animal colony here at KSC and we track
the food and water consumption and weight gain of the animals to see which
are the healthiest and the best to be selected for flight. We want to
select the strongest animals as the flight and ground control experimental
animals. There are many, many animals that need to be prepared for flight
because if the space shuttle doesn't launch on time, which is always a
possibility, we need to have back-up animals for whenever the launch finally
Because of this, we have a whole series of what are called contingency
groups. We have separate launch contingency animal groups for an on-time
launch, for a one-day delay, a two-day delay, a five-day delay, etc. By
the time we are done with Neurolab we will have built up an animal colony
the size of about 6,000 rats and mice. We are measuring food and water
consumption and body weight gain on those animals. Depending on the different
experiments, we collect data at different intervals. Sometimes we collect
data on a weekly schedule, but mostly on a daily basis. So we end up with
a huge amount of data to collect and process. My job is to look at all
the pieces of that data collection process to find out where there are
problems or inaccuracies and then to fix those problems. I'll work with
the animal care staff who are weighing the animals and operating the balances.
I make sure the balances are accurately transmitting the data to computer
systems and I then work with the computer operators both here and at Ames
to make sure the data is processed quickly and accurately so that we end
up with quality data on these animals. That data is then used to select
the flight animal groups and the ground control animal groups.
After launch, my job changes a lot. I become the science lead on the
Replan shift at the POCC (payload operations control center) at mission
control in Houston. During the spaceflight portion of Neurolab, or any
complex spaceflight operation, there are always problems that arise. The
ARC payload scientist, Tom Howerton, and the payload manager, Chris Maese,
go right after launch from KSC to JSC in Houston and begin to work the
execute shift (daytime shift) there at the POCC. However, they can't work
24 hours in a day. So for the night shift (the replan shift) they hand
over to a backup scientist (me) and a backup engineer (Rich McKenna).
During the replan shift, while Tom, Chris and the astronauts onboard the
orbiter are asleep, the replan shift team thinks through all the events
of the prior day and develops a plan for the next day for the astronauts.
Sometimes the plan for the next day ends up identical to the schedule
which was laid out several months ago for that day. On the other hand,
sometimes we end up replanning the entire day. Each morning the crew gets
an Execute Package produced by the replan shift with the new schedule
for that day. So some of the words I write end up getting faxed up to
the astronauts. Pretty cool.
My Career Journey
I have a pretty weird background. I'm a medical doctor. I went to medical
school and underwent training in a pathology residency. I am a board-certified
clinical pathologist (a doctor who knows a lot about clinical laboratory
testing in hospitals) and I also worked for several years as a postdoctoral
fellow in a molecular virology lab. For my post-doc, I was cutting and
splicing DNA and working on viruses, a little bit with the AIDS virus,
but particularly with a virus called hepatitis C. Up until about 1990,
that is what I was interested in doing. But I had always been interested
in the space program and I always wanted to grow up and be an astronaut.
I remember, when I was a kid, sitting in front of the television watching
the Apollo program with the astronauts landing on the moon. I looked at
that and said to myself, "That's what I want to do when I grow up," and
I've been trying to do that ever since.
When I was in my post-doc [post-doctoral studies], I started to look
around for what I was going to do afterwards. I was thinking about becoming
a professor in a university and teaching and doing research, which is
the more usual academic route, but it seemed like it would be more fun
and more interesting to go do something in the space program. I was living
in San Francisco at the time and I started to go to Ames Research Center
(south of San Francisco) and talk to people and knock on doors to see
what kind of work might be available that would match my skills and interests.
I ended up in this rather peculiar position of science support and science
management, which is not a job that I had ever really heard of before
I started doing it. It's a job that is important to do now but it is the
kind of job that didn't exist 10 or 15 years ago, and might not exist
10 or 15 years in the future. I think many jobs in the space program are
like that because it is such a rapidly changing area.
Likes/Dislikes about career
Everyone has different things they are looking for in a career. For
me, one of the things I was looking for, therefore one of the really positive
aspects, is change. I'm always doing something different. One year I'll
work on a cell culture experiment, the next year I'll be working on a
rodent experiment, the following year I may be working on computer stuff,
then a stint in mission control, and even an experiment on the NASA reduced
gravity airplane, the KC-135 "vomit comet". It's always changing, it's
always different and I really like that. It's the variety that draws me
in. Also, it has been an wonderful experience working with some really
good people and having met and worked with some of the astronauts has
been great. There are often very dedicated people working in the various
corners of NASA and it is quite a privilege to work with them.
Like anything in life, there are always downsides. One of the downsides
is that the pay is not so great. You can make a perfectly reasonable living,
but you are certainly not going to get rich. In fact, with my background,
I could go work as medical doctor and make a lot more money, but I would
be having nowhere near as much fun. Another downside is an occasional
sense of frustration. NASA and Lockheed are very large organizations.
Large organizations have complicated politics and sometimes things do
not happen in an efficient or sensible manner. Stuff happens and you look
at it and scratch your head and say, "Heck, this doesn't make any sense
at all." Sometimes you think of a good idea which would take an hour to
implement and would fix a serious problem, but then it takes you 30 or
40 hours to persuade the bosses and everyone else to approve and implement
the idea. That kind of thing can be very frustrating.
Preparation for Career
I was an avid reader of science fiction since I was a little kid. I
remember my mom used to take me to the local public library and I would
head straight for the science fiction section. Reading those kinds of
books prepared me to think along the lines of traveling and working in
outer space, that it was a perfectly normal thing to do. The other thing
that I had a chance to do was get some early exposure to science. I had
a fourth grade teacher who thought that I showed some promise and was
interested in science. It turned out her husband was a working scientist
so she took me to his laboratory one day. I think I may have broken some
piece of lab equipment, but that visit impressed me very much and I thought,
"I'd like to be scientist when I grow up." As I went through school I
took science courses and pursued those interests. It has been fun ever
The most important thing is to find what it is that you REALLY like
and study it as much as you can. It almost doesn't matter what it is,
but the important thing is to be doing stuff that you are really interested
in and you think is fun. If you are trying to do things that someone else
tells you you should be doing and you hate it, you're not going to work
at it very hard and you probably won't be successful. So my advice is,
follow your heart.
Personal Information
I'm single and don't have kids but I do have a ficus plant that I've
lived with for many years. I live in Berkeley, California, and have lots
of friends there. I like to ride my bike and take walks in the hills and
I enjoy skiing in winter and backpacking in summer The important thing
is to get out into the woods, into nature, and run around. The Earth is
a beautiful planet, both from orbit and on the ground, and we all need
to work to keep it that way.

SEOUL/WASHINGTON — The US said it would soon send a missile defence system to Guam to defend it from North Korea, as the US military adjusts to what Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel called a "real and clear danger" from Pyongyang.
Hours later, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said North Korea had moved what appeared to be a midrange Musudan missile to its east coast.
It was not clear whether the North planned to fire the rocket or was just putting it on display as a show of force, one South Korean government source was quoted as saying.
North Korea also barred entry to a joint industrial complex it shares with the South for a second day on Thursday and said it would shut the zone if Seoul continued to insult it.
Events on the Korean peninsula have begun to unnerve global financial markets long used to the rhetoric North Korea routinely hurls at Seoul and Washington.
"The assumption remains that this is more bluster," RBS strategist Rob Ryan said in Singapore. "But from here, we've reached a level of tension that says things can't get too much worse without an actual exchange of fire."
The broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.6%, dragged down by a 2% slump in South Korean shares, while the South Korean won slid 0.7% against the dollar. US stocks sank on Wednesday after Mr Hagel's comments and the Guam deployment news.
North Korea also repeated its threat to launch a nuclear attack on the US. Pyongyang said it had ratified a potential strike because of US military deployments around the Korean peninsula that it claimed were a prelude to a possible nuclear attack on the North.
Washington had been informed of the potential attack by North Korea, a spokesman for its army said in a statement carried by the English-language service of state news agency KCNA. It was unclear how such a warning was given since North Korea does not have diplomatic ties with Washington.
The report from KCNA appeared to restate many of the month-long fusillade of threats emanating from Pyongyang.
Experts say North Korea is years away from being able to hit the continental US with a nuclear weapon, despite having worked for decades to achieve nuclear-arms capability.
North Korea has previously threatened a nuclear strike on the US and missile attacks on its Pacific bases, including in Guam, a US territory in the Pacific.
Those threats followed new United Nations sanctions imposed on the North after it carried out its third nuclear test in February.
"Some of the actions they've taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger," Mr Hagel told an audience at the National Defence University in Washington.
Despite the rhetoric, Pyongyang had not taken any military action and had shown no sign of preparing its 1.2-million-strong armed forces for war, the White House said on Monday.
That indicates its threats are partly intended for domestic consumption to bolster young leader Kim Jong-un ahead of celebrations marking the anniversary of the April 15 birthday of Kim Il-sung, the state's founder and the younger Kim's grandfather.
Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, criticised the latest North Korean statement.
"It is yet another offering in a long line of provocative statements that only serve to further isolate North Korea from the rest of the international community and undermine its goal of economic development," Mr Hayden said.
'Take threats seriously'
Mr Hagel said he had to take the threats seriously, language he has used in recent weeks as the US has revamped its missile defence plans and positioned two guided-missile destroyers in the western Pacific.
The US has also flexed its muscles during annual military drills with South Korea, flying two radar-evading stealth bombers on a first-of-its-kind practice bombing run over South Korea.
In the latest move, the Pentagon said it was deploying a Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system to Guam in the coming weeks. The THAAD system includes a truck-mounted launcher, interceptor missiles and tracking radar.
Last month, Mr Hagel said the Pentagon would add 14 new antimissile interceptors in Alaska and move ahead with the deployment of a second missile-defence radar in Japan.
Yonhap quoted multiple government sources privy to intelligence from US and South Korean authorities as saying North Korea had moved what appeared to be a Musudan missile to its east coast.
The missile is believed to have a range of 3,000km or more, which would put all of South Korea and Japan in range and possibly also Guam. North Korea is not believed to have tested the Musudan midrange missiles, according to most independent experts
South Korea's defence ministry declined to comment.
The missile was moved to the coast by train. The North has a missile launch site on its northeastern coast, which it has used in unsuccessful tests of long-range rockets in the past.
The Yonhap report did not say whether the missile had been moved to the missile site.
The South Korean government said the North would allow 222 South Korean workers to leave the Kaesong industrial zone on Thursday. That would leave another 606 South Koreans in the complex. Seoul has urged its citizens to get out.
North Korea has threatened to shut the complex, one of the impoverished North's few sources of ready cash.
The industrial park, just inside the border with North Korea, has not formally stopped operations since it was inaugurated in 2000. It houses 123 companies and employs 50,000 North Koreans making cheap goods such as clothing.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Two Israeli archaeologists confirmed the authenticity of a 2,000-year-old ossuary and its inscription believed to have belonged to the family of Caiaphas, the high priest during Jesus' time, American Friends of Tel Aviv University reported Tuesday.
Three years ago, the Israel Antiquities Authority confiscated the ancient limestone burial box from antiquities thieves.
TAU's Department of Archaeology Prof. Yuval Goren and Bar Ilan University Prof. Boaz Zissu worked together to authenticate both the ossuary and its inscription.
"Beyond any reasonable doubt, the inscription is authentic," said Prof. Goren, whose findings were published in the Israel Exploration Journal.
The ossuary's full inscription reads, "Miriam daughter of Yeshua son of Caiaphus, priest of Maaziah from Beth Imri."
Mazziah refers to a clan, which Prof. Goren said was the last mentioned order of the 24 orders of high priests who served during Second Temple times. The Romans destroyed the Second Jewish Temple, built by King herod, in 70 AD.
Beit Imri may refer to the village where the priest's family lived, thought to have been located on the slopes of Mount Hevron.
The professors believe the ossuary came from a burial site in the Valley of Elah - southwest of Jerusalem - where the battle of David and Goliath took place.
Researchers hope the find may lead to more discoveries about the family of Caiaphas, known for his role in the arrest and trial of Jesus, which led to His crucifixion.
Israeli archaeologists have uncovered many first century ossuaries in Jerusalem and Judea.
Occasionally, forgers have tried adding fraudulent decorations and even inscriptions to increase the artifact's value.
Two years ago, an ossuary thought to belong to James, the brother of Jesus, was found to be a fraud.---

« ReBirth »
The original ReBirth on PC was my first music app, so I have a lot of nostalgia for this one. When I loaded it up and saw the classic demo song, Alloy Cowboy, I was so very happy. This has a lot going for it, including many of the features I wish technoBox2 had, but it isn't quite as easy to use. The knobs are small and there is no way to resize the screen.
As of update 1.3, CoreMIDI and Background Audio have been added to ReBirth, along with a fun Duo mode for playing with a friend on the same iPad.
Beginners are better off with technoBox2 and experts are better off with bleep!BOX or rolling their own techno bundle with something like Bassline for a synth and Molten or MoDrum on drums; all of which will play together with CoreMIDI!
