Aulus Caecina Severus (suffect consul 1 BC)
Aulus Caecina Severus was a Roman politician and general who was suffect consul in 1 BC.
Early career[edit]
Descended from a distinguished Volaterran family,[1] Caecina made his name as a military man[2] and was awarded the post of suffect consul in 1 BC.[3]
In 6 AD he was the imperial legate in Moesia[4] when the Great Illyrian Revolt erupted. Severus was called down to suppress the revolt, and was joined by Marcus Plautius Silvanus. In 7 AD they met the Daesitiates and the Breuci at the Battle of Sirmium. Here, the Romans won a hard fought victory, but their losses were so significant that they could not follow it up.[5] Caecina was then forced to quickly return to Moesia, as Dacian and Sarmatian raiders were causing havoc in the province.[6] For the next two years he continued to fight the rebels in Illyricum, inflicting another defeat on them in 8 AD as they attempted to prevent Caecina marching to link up with Germanicus in Pannonia, until the revolt was finally put down in 9 AD.[7]
The Rhine revolt[edit]
Around 14 AD, Caecina was the legate in charge of the legions along the lower Rhine frontier in Gallia Belgica (what it time would become Germania Inferior), under the overall command of Germanicus.[8] When the Rhine legions rebelled following the death of Augustus, the men under Caecina were at the forefront, demanding the demobilization of men who had served an excessive number of campaigns, and an increase in pay for the rest.[9] Caecina apparently lost his nerve at the mutiny; he initially made no move to stop the spreading disorder, and when centurions sought his protection, he was forced to hand them over to his men to be tortured and killed.[10] Germanicus was forced to intervene; arriving, eventually he agreed to their demands, and was forced to come up with the money to pay some of the legions. Germanicus ordered Caecina to take the first and twentieth legions back to Oppidum Ubiorum, together with Germanicus' depleted treasury.[11]
When Germanicus himself arrived at Oppidum Ubiorum, he sent Caecina to Castra Vetera, where the mutinous fifth and twenty-first legions were stationed. Determined to make an example of them, he ordered Caecina to declare to the troops that unless they punished the principal troublemakers, he would come in with a larger army and execute a large number of soldiers at random. Caecina discussed the situation with men he could trust, and they agreed to- obey his orders and kill all the ringleaders of the mutiny before Germanicus arrived.[12]
The German wars[edit]
In the following year (15 AD) Caecina was involved in the campaigns against Arminius and the Cherusci. Germanicus, who first proceeded to attack the Chatti, left him in command of four legions on the Rhine. Caecina was soon forced to turn back a Cherusci advance, and followed this up with a successful battle against the Marsi.[13] After this, hearing that Arminius had gathered together a large coalition of forces, Germanicus sent Caecina with forty cohorts towards the Ems River as a diversionary tactic, ravaging the countryside as he marched.[14] Rejoining Germanicus, they pushed towards the Teutoburg Forest, and Caecina was sent in advance to scout out the way, as well as build bridges and causeways, so that the army could navigate the surrounding marshlands.[15]
After fighting an indecisive battle with Arminius, Germanicus ordered Caecina to take his original forces and march back to the Rhine. Arriving at a spot referred to as the "Long Bridges", and finding it impassable, Caecina settled down to begin repairs of the causeways so that he could continue his march towards the Rhine.[16] However, he was attacked by Arminius, and just managed to hold them off when night fell. The next day the two armies joined in battle again, and the Romans were almost defeated again. Caecina, trying to hold the front line against the Germans, had his horse killed from underneath him, and he only survived by the quick intervention of the first legion.[17] The legions managed to find solid ground as evening fell, but a rumour soon took flight that the Germans had broken into the Castra, causing the troops to rush the gates in an attempt to escape. Caecina, unsuccessful in attempting to convince the soldiers that there was no attack underway, was forced to throw himself down on the ground under the gateway to finally get the soldiers to stop and listen.[18] The next day, with Caecina having stiffened up his army's morale and spirit, the two armies engaged again, only this time the Romans had the upper hand, crushing the attacking Germans and causing them to flee the battlefield. Caecina was then able to complete the repairs and return to the Rhine. As a result of this victory, he was awarded the insignia triumphalia.[19]
The next year (16 AD) he was still on campaign with Germanicus in Germany, and he was entrusted by Germanicus with the task of building a fleet of 1,000 vessels, in order to transport the armies from the North Sea into the interior of Germany via the River Ems, which he completed.[20] It is assumed that he marched alongside Germanicus during this campaign, and that Caecina returned with Germanicus to Rome at the end of the year.
Later career[edit]
Taking his place in the Senate, Caecina put forward a motion in 20 AD that an altar be erected to the goddess of vengeance giving thanks for what was termed the righteous death of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, who was widely believed to be responsible for the death of Germanicus in 19 AD. The emperor Tiberius vetoed the motion.[21] Then in 21 AD, Caecina moved another motion in the Senate during a debate about filling the post of proconsular governor of Africa, this time to prohibit the governors of provinces taking their wives with them when they began their term in office. His speech was frequently interrupted by many senators, who observed that this was not the point of the current debate, and that Caecina was not qualified to act in the role of censor in such a matter. His motion was opposed by Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus and Drusus Julius Caesar, after which it failed to be carried.[22]
Caecina was married and had six children.[23]

We're very nearly to the point where the number of Jordan silhouettes that Michael himself has actually played in is equal to the number that he hasn't. But can you imagine if he did get to suit up in all the colorways and silhouettes that landed outside of his reign? Complex has imagined that with their latest list, "10 Air Jordans We Wish Michael Jordan Could Have Played In". What's cool about the group is that they even went so far as to list out when they wished to see any given pair on court-a Doernbecher Air Jordan III for the All-Star Game, an Air Jordan 1 Alpha out at MSG, etc. See their selections after the click and then head to Complex for the full piece.

New Study: Nearly Half Of Kids Late On VaccinesRebekah Kuschmider
Vaccines have become one of the hotter topics for parents in recent years. Thanks in large part to a discredited study that linked the Measels-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism, parents began looking at vaccines with new suspicion. While the science on the facility of vaccines to prevent once-common — and sometimes deadly — diseases is indisputable, some parents feel that there are too many vaccines and too many of them are administered at once. The result has been parents opting to withhold or delay vaccines for their kids.
Now a new study on vaccine rates shows that, of over 300,000 babies and toddlers surveyed, 54% of them were late on at least some vaccines. The reasons for this vary according to the Huffington Post:
Just over one in eight children went undervaccinated due to parents' choices. For the rest, it wasn't clear why they were late getting their shots. Some could have bounced in and out of insurance coverage, Glanz suggested, or were sick during their well-child visits, so doctors postponed vaccines.
I know my son was a month behind on vaccines for a few years because of a snow storm. For real. He was supposed to get shots on a day there'd been a blizzard and everything got fouled up with his appointment so we had to reschedule. So there are all kinds of reasons and otherwise pro-vaccine parent could wind up with a child whose shots have been delayed.
However, there is cause for concern when there are large clusters of unvaccinated kids in an area. Epidemics of previously controlled diseases like pertussis or measles can erupt. While contracting one of these disease may not be a big deal for a healthy child whose parents made an educated decision about vaccines, for a compromised individual exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases can be quite dangerous. Since people can be contagious during the incubation period before symptoms appear, it's tough to know if you're unwittingly being exposed to diseases.
Most doctors concur that there are no safety concerns with the current vaccine schedule and vaccines are effective at preventing diseases. If you are considering skipping or delaying vaccines or have gotten behind for other reasons, talk to your pediatrician. Someone who knows your child and their individual health profile can help you make the best decisions for your family.

When Muhammad Ali, then still known as Cassius Clay, left Rome in 1960 as the Olympic gold medalist at light heavyweight, he was already a household name in the United States. When Ray Leonard captured gold in Montreal in 1976, it launched him onto the cover of a Wheaties box.
In an earlier, less-sissified media culture, Olympic boxing was a major draw for network coverage. Some of the great pound-for-pound boxing stars of recent decades launched their careers at the Games.
Note that this list is ranked largely on what the fighters went on to do as professionals. In the Cold War era, a number of Eastern European and Cuban fighters could very likely have had successful careers in the pro ranks.

Alan Duff gives Ngapuhi a ticking off
Alan Duff gets stuck into Ngapuhi:
I've also previously written that even if we had a Prime Minister I personally detested, I'd still give him or her the respect the office demands.
Not deserves, as sometimes we'll have a PM who doesn't earn that. It is our highest political office. (Putting aside the Governor-General, an office I don't necessarily care for. Too old-fashioned, too many British Empire trappings and traditions, increasingly irrelevant in this modern age. Time for radical changes.)
Now, if Maori at Waitangi promise our Prime Minister a hostile welcome, why should he go? It's mass bullying, at its worst. Let's put the boot on the other foot and Parliament promises a hostile welcome to a Ngapuhi delegation wanting to visit.
There would be an uproar. And rightly so.

The 1960's: Rebelsby Dorothy Hoobler Tom Hoobler
THIS SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE Century Kids follows two rebels--in the best sense of the word. The first is Chuck, the great-great-grandson of the patriarch, Lionel Aldrich, whose family we have followed through five generations of the twentieth century. His rebellion, so typical of the decade, is against unfair authority. The second rebel is Sojie, who takes a stand against the established practice of the times as she returns with her mother to the South to participate in a lunch-counter demonstration demanding equal service for blacks. Both young people typify the awakening social consciousness that characterized the decade. AS IN THE EARLIER CENTURY KIDS volumes, the events and artifacts of the decade provide a backdrop for the narrative. The 1960s are a particularly inspiring decade with the growing success of Dr. Martin Luther King's nonviolent protest movement--yet it was a tragic decade as well, as young idealists grow to admire young President John F. Kennedy, only to see him brutally assassinated. IN ADDITION TO AN EXCITING STORY, the Hooblers provide an historical afterword, explaining some of the more interesting aspects of their research into the decade, as well as a timeline outlining what was going on in the world in which the story unfolds.

3-D Engineeringby Vicki V. May
How did somebody come up with the idea for bridges, skyscrapers, helicopters, and nightlights? How did people figure out how to build them? In 3D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes, young readers tackle real-life engineering problems by figuring out real-life solutions. Kids apply science and math skills to create prototypes for bridges, instruments, alarms, and more. Prototypes are preliminary models used by engineers--and kids--to evaluate ideas and to better understand how things work. Engineering design starts with an idea. How do we get to the other side of the river? How do we travel long distances in short times? Using a structured engineering design process, kids learn how to brainstorm, build a prototype, test a prototype, evaluate, and re-design. Projects include designing a cardboard chair to understand the stiffness of structural systems and designing and building a set of pan pipes to experiment with pitch and volume. Creating prototypes is a key step in the engineering design process and prototyping early in the design process generally results in better processes and products. 3D Engineering gives kids a chance to figure out many different prototypes, empowering them to discover the mechanics of the world we know.

But when they arrive, Amy and Dan get something completely unexpected - a message from their dead grandmother, Grace. Did Grace set out to help the two orphans . . . ore are Amy and Dan heading for the most devastating betrayal of them all?

 Minutes before she died Grace Cahill changed her will, leaving her decendants an impossible decision: "You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue."
 Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world's most powerful family. Everyone from Napoleon to Houdini is related to the Cahills, yet the source of the family power is lost. 39 Clues hidden around the world will reveal the family's secret, but no one has been able to assemble them. Now the clues race is on, and young Amy and Dan must decide what's important: hunting clues or uncovering what REALLY happened to their parents.

The Cahills aren't the only family searching for the Clues...
 The Cahills thought they were the most powerful family the world had ever known. They thought they were the only ones who knew about Gideon Cahill and his Clues. The Cahills were wrong.
 Powerful enemies --the Vespers-- have been waiting in the shadows. Now it's their time to rise and the world will never be the same. In Vespers Rising, a brand new 39 Clues novel, bestselling authors Rick Riordan, Peter Lerangis, Gordon Korman and Jude Watson take on the hidden history of the Cahills and the Vespers, and the last, terrible legacy Grace Cahill leaves for Amy and Dan.

Are you ready to save the world? The bestselling series returns with an adventure spanning 6 explosive books, 2 secret-filled card packs, and a website that places readers right in the action.
 Thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, thought they belonged to the world's most powerful family. They thought the hunt for 39 Clues leading to the source of that power was over. They even thought they'd won. But Amy and Dan were wrong.
 One by one, distress calls start coming in from around the globe. Cahills are being kidnapped by a shadowy group known only as the Vespers. Now Amy and Dan have only days to fulfill a bizarre ransom request or their captured friends will start dying. Amy and Dan don't know what the Vespers want or how to stop them. Only one thing is clear. The Vespers are playing to win, and if they get their hands on the Clues... the world will be their next hostage.
The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers Book 2: A King's Ransomby Jude Watson
Amy and Dan are in a race for their lives . . . and the enemy may be even closer than they think. When seven members of their family were kidnapped by a sinister organization known as the Vespers, thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, vowed they'd stop at nothing to bring the hostages home. But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an ancient map. The only catch? No one has seen the map for half a century. Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of history's dirtiest secrets. It's the race of their lives . . . and one misstep will mean certain death for the hostages.

ND duo named to All-State squad
CROWLEY – Honors continue to roll in for Notre Dame and Rayne High after the completion of the 2009 baseball and softball seasons.
Notre Dame standouts Ryan Leonards and Austin Robichaux were named to the Class AAA All-State baseball team that was announced today by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association while Rayne's Mariel Meche landed a spot on the softball team.
Notre Dame's Bryant Gilbert earned honorable mention status on the baseball squad while Kesley Hollier earned the same honor on the softball team.
Leonards made the team as a utility player after pitching and playing shortstop during his junior campaign that saw the Pios advance to the Class AAA semifinals before bowing out to St. Charles.
Leonards hit .471 on the year with four doubles, eight triples, two home runs and 17 RBI from the leadoff spot in the Pios' lineup. He also stole 18 bases in 19 attempts.
On the mound, Leonards compiled a record of 6-3 with a 1.97 earned run average. He gave up just 17 earned runs and struck out 54 in just over 60 innings pitched.
Robichaux joins Loranger's Taylor Abdalla, Parkview's Andrew Reeves and St. Charles' Jared Keating as one of four pitchers on the team.
Robichaux, a sophomore right hander, went 7-2 on the year with an earned run average of 2.07. He logged one save and struck out 78 in 64 innings of work.
Gilbert, a senior outfielder and closer for the Pios, hit .480 with seven doubles, five triples, one home run and 29 RBI.
Parkview's Alex Byo was named the Most Valuable Player while Loranger's Jason Heimstetter earned the Coach of the Year honor.
On the girls' side, Meche helped lead the Lady Wolves to the District 5-AAA title and a second round playoff appearance. The sophomore pitcher made the team as a utility player, going 17-6 on the year with 106 strikeouts in 131 innings on the mound. She finished the year with an ERA of 1.12.
Hollier, a sophomore utility pick on the 5-AAA All-District team, hit .462 on the year with 10 doubles, two triples, one home run and 16 RBI. She also swiped 18 bases in as many attempts.
Brusly's Bethany Pinkston was tabbed as the team's MVP while Catholic of New Iberia's Jeri Beck earned the Coach of the Year honor.

- "We're off, on the Road to Rhode Island"
"Road to Rhode Island" contains examples of (YMMV goes here):
- All Men Are Perverts: The "Men-only" part of the tapes that Peter and Lois get contain pornography.
- Bait and Switch:Brian: Hey kid, thanks for not ratting me out. Is there anything I can do for you?Stewie: Oh, yes. Remember the episode of The Brady Bunch where Bobby saved Greg's life and Greg became his slave?Brian: Yeah...Stewie: It's on this afternoon, you can tape it for me. And put a nice label on it.
- Brick Joke: When Lois says that Stewie is vacationing with his grandparents in their summer home, it cuts to Stewie stealing Babs's watch and tossing it in a maid's pocket: "That should provide some after-dinner entertainment." When Brian goes to pick up Stewie, the maid is being hauled out in handcuffs.
- Due to the Dead: Brian steals her mother's body in order to give her a proper burial.
- Foreshadowing: As the two sleep, Brian is licking Stewie, causing the latter to proclaim "That's it, Mr. Giraffe. Get all the marmalade". This was as Stewie began shifting from an evil genius bent on killing his mother and/or taking over the world into a Bisexual Jerk with a Heart of Gold who pretty much abandoned his mission to kill Lois and/or rule the world.
- Freudian Slippery Slope: Peter, when he talks about the tapes:Peter: I got another relationship tape.
Lois: $49.95? That's three times as much as the first one.
Peter: Now, Lois, our marriage can't be measured in nipples and dimes. I mean nickels and boobs. ...money.
- Gigantic Gulp: Brian drinks wine out of one.
- The Glasses Gotta Go: The woman on the "couples therapy" tape starts by wearing glasses but removes them and instantly becomes more attractive.
- Karma Houdini: Stewie and Brian get away with both skipping out on their hotel room bill and stealing a car.
- Pun: When Brian comes across his stuffed dead mother:Stewie: I say, someone must have said a funny, because your mother's in stitches! (laughs) I'll leave you to grieve.
Stewie: Stiff upper lip. (laughs)
- Another joke later:
- Rewind, Replay, Repeat: What Peter does with the tape Lois just made, while making love to her.
- Shout-Out: The episode (and it's sequels) is similar to the "Road To" film series from the 1940s. This episode, however, bears the most resemblance to the film series, especially "Road To Morocco". In fact, the song "Off on the Road to Rhode Island" is a modern remake of "Off on the Road to Morocco"
- Ten with a Two: At the airport bar, Brian drinks a lot of alcohol and tells the woman next to him that she's getting increasingly attractive.
- This Is the Part Where...: While Stewie and Brian escape with a hijacked car.Brian: You'll have to add the part where I made you smash your head on the windshield.Stewie: Oh, I don't recall...(Brian abruptly stops the car, causing Stewie to hit the windshield)Stewie: Oof! (gets up and dusts himself off) Yes, well, I supposed I walked right into that one.
- Two Lines, No Waiting: Since Brian and Stewie are out of the house, they get the A-plot to themselves.
