JOSHUA JUDGES RUTH J. Vernon McGee
JOSHUA WRITER: Joshua kjv@Joshua:24:26), successor to Moses kjv@Deuteronomy:31:23) The Talmud says that Joshua wrote all but the last 5 verses and that those were written by Phineas. Joshua means "Jehovah is salvation" — the same word in the New Testament is Jesus (as in kjv@Hebrews:4:8). Joshua was a great general, born a slave in Egypt. 40 years old at time of Exodus (one of spies), 80 years old when he received his commission, 110 years old at his death. He was a man of prayer, courage, dependence upon God, faith, leadership, enthusiasm, and fidelity. He is a type of Christ in name and work. As someone has commented: Joshua shows that a man of average ability may become a leader in the church. He received his call not in flaming letters across the sky, but from an old man, who knew God and knew Joshua, and saw that he was fitted by God to be a leader. PURPOSE: Completes redemption out of Egypt. Salvation is not only a redemption from hell, but it is a redemption to heaven. Who Jesus was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. kjv@Romans:4:25) TRANSITION: Up to this point Jehovah had spoken by dreams, visions, or by angelic ministry. Now a new method is introduced. The Law of Moses is the written voice of Jehovah kjv@Joshua:1:8). KEY VERSE: Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. kjv@Joshua:1:3) Joshua compares to Ephesians in the New Testament: • It is prophetic of Israel and typical of the church. • Read Israel's free title to the land kjv@Jeremiah:23:8; kjv@Ezekiel:37:21).
• Conflict and conquest go with possession. KEY WORD: Possession Israel's ownership was unconditional kjv@Genesis:12:7 kjv@Genesis:15:18-21 kjv@Genesis:17:8 ). Israel's possession was conditional kjv@Deuteronomy:29:9 — 30:20). Key word is not "victory" — God gets the victory. Israel gets deliverance and possession. kjv@Joshua:1:4 — Extent of Promised Land 13:1 — They did not possess it all. 11:16 — Joshua had conquered the land and it was available. 11:23 — Each tribe was given an allotment but had to drive out the enemy. There was to be a gradual occupation of the land by each tribe. The Christian today is given title to spiritual blessings kjv@Ephesians:1:3; kjv@Romans:5:1-11; kjv@Romans:8:37; kjv@1Corinthians:1:30; kjv@Galatians:5:22-23). The Christian's practical possession and experience depends upon conflict and conquest kjv@Ephesians:6:10-20; kjv@Galatians:5:25; kjv@2Corinthians:10:3-6; kjv@1Corinthians:9:25-27; kjv@Hebrews:4:11). These are never attained through the energy of the flesh, but through the power of the Holy Spirit working in the yielded life of the believer kjv@Romans:7-8). COMMENT: There are several incidents in the Book of Joshua which need separate comments. We shall consider them briefly and in order. Chapter 1 — God encourages Joshua and introduces and initiates the nation into a new way of life. The wilderness journey is over. They are no longer nomads of the desert, but dwellers in the land. Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have possessions on the wrong side of Jordan (compare kjv@Colossians:3:1-4). Chapter 2 — Spies are sent in, not to see if they could enter the land, but to explore the best way. The report of these spies is in verse 24. God turns aside to save the harlot Rahab. She believed God (vv. 10-13; cf. kjv@Hebrews:11:31). The mayor of Jericho could have been saved had he, too, believed God. None needed to have perished. Chapters 3, 4 — (See author's message, "Have You Crossed Over Jordan?") The ark — not the rod of Moses — goes before and divides
the Jordan River. The ark goes before, carried by priests. Likewise, Christ goes before us through death, but goes with us through this life. Jordan is typical of Christ's death, not ours. Chapter 5 — Circumcision was neglected in the wilderness. God was teaching them that the old nature is no good and the new nature has no power kjv@Romans:7:18). The manna ceases and the children of Israel eat the old corn in the new land. Manna is for babes in Christ and represents the days of His flesh. We feed on the living Christ today ( kjv@2Corinthians:5:16-17). Jesus is the captain of our salvation (vv. 13-15; kjv@Hebrews:2:10 kjv@Hebrews:12:1-2). Chapter 6 — There may be some disagreement between John Garstang and Kathleen Kenyon about the walls in the tell at ancient Jericho, but the faith of the believer does not rest upon the shovel of the archaeologist kjv@Hebrews:11:30). Jericho represents the world to the believer. It is strong and formidable and foreboding — the conquest depends upon faith ( kjv@1John:5:4). kjv@Hebrews:11 reveals how faith worked in all ages in the lives of God's choicest servants as they met the world head-on and overcame by faith. Chapters 7, 8 — (See author's message, "Ai and I.") Defeat and victory at Ai represent the flesh in the believer. The sin of Achan was sin in the camp. Steps in sins of the flesh (7:21): I saw — physical I coveted — mental I took — volitional. No deliverance is experienced until sin is dealt with in the life of a believer kjv@Ephesians:4:17-32; kjv@1John:1:9). Chapter 9 — This begins the campaign in the south. Having driven a wedge into the heart of the land and divided it, now Joshua can go against each section piecemeal. Joshua has been compared to Alexander the Great and Hannibal as a great general. Divide and conquer was the strategy used by Joshua. He was deceived by the Gibeonites into making a treaty with them that was contrary to the express command of God kjv@Deuteronomy:7:1-2). The Gibeonites represent the devil with all his cunning and clever-
ness. We are no match for him kjv@Ephesians:6:11 kjv@Ephesians:6:16 kjv@Revelation:12:9). Chapter 10 — Joshua conquers 5 kings of the Amorites (v. 5) as he continues the campaign in the south. He completes the campaign in the south by the destruction of Makkedah, Lachish, Libnah, Eglon, Hebron and Debir (vv. 29- 40). This chapter contains the account of the long day of Joshua. "Did Joshua make the sun stand still?" is a question that is asked by skeptic and saint alike. Following are some proposed explanations of the long day of Joshua: (1) It is the practice of some to avoid giving any interpretation. They ignore it entirely as if it were not worthy of comment. (2) Some treat the language as poetic (v. 12). This is to adopt a non-literal interpretation that dismisses the miraculous from the incident entirely. Those who hold to this view generally refer to kjv@Judges:5:20 "…the stars in their courses fought against Sisera." We refuse to dismiss this as poetic. We do not have enough information to state dogmatically that these are poetic statements and not matters of fact. It reminds us of the old bromide that poetic language is sometimes prosaic lying. (3) Some call this a miracle of refraction. The emphasis is placed on verse 13. (4) Some adopt the position that God stopped the entire solar system (v. 12). They make Joshua's day 23 hours and 20 minutes. The other 40 minutes are found in kjv@2Kings:20:8-11. (5) Some adopt the position that God blacked out the sun rather than continued its shining. The Berkeley Version translates it, "O sun, wait in Gibeon," the ASV, "be silent." Maunder in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia takes this position. Joshua had made a forced march all night (about 40 miles), attacked the enemy from the rear — came suddenly upon them. It was July — about 105º to 120º in the shade, and there was no shade. Joshua did not want more sun — he wanted less sun. (6) The best explanation, it seems, is a combination of kjv@Numbers:4 and 5. Joshua needed more light and less heat. God covered the sun with a storm of hailstones (v. 11). God slowed down the earth (v. 12). "Upon Gibeon" indicates that the sun was directly over — bisecting Gibeon — and the moon was going down "in the valley of Aijalon." This is a miracle!
Chapter 11 — This contains the campaign in the north and the conclusion of Joshua's leadership in war (v. 23). Chapter 12 — Log of Joshua's campaigns. Chapter 13 — Not all the land was occupied and possessed (v. l). Chapter 14 — Hebron given to Caleb, born a slave, companion of Joshua. These two men were the only spies who brought back a favorable report kjv@Numbers:14:6-9). Caleb found the fountain of youth (v. 11). He had: (1) Faith to forget the past (2) Faith to face facts (3) Faith to face the future Chapter 15 — Judah's land in the Promised Land. Chapter 16 — Ephraim's land in the Promised Land. Chapter 17 — Manasseh's land in the Promised Land. Chapters 18, 19 — Tabernacle located at Shiloh. Other tribes' lands in the Promised Land. Chapter 20 — Cities of Refuge. Chapter 21 — Cities for Levites. Chapter 22 — Joshua dismisses the 2 1/2 tribes, and they return to the east side of Jordan. They build an altar "to see" (v. 10). The altar was condemned, as there was only one altar, and it was for sacrifice. Chapter 23 — Last message of Joshua to the leaders of the nation. Chapter 24 — Last message of Joshua to all the tribes of Israel at Shechem (note 5:15). Verses 29-31 record the death of Joshua.

JUDGES A Philosophy of History Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. kjv@Proverbs:14:34) WRITER: Unknown This book comes from the period of the monarchy, judging by the phrase which occurs 4 times, "In those days there was no king in Israel" (17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25). Probably written by Samuel. KEY VERSE: kjv@Judges:21:25 (last verse in book) THEME: Backsliding — and the amazing grace of God in recovering and restoring. PURPOSE: The Book of Judges serves a twofold purpose: 1. Historically it records the history of the nation from the death of Joshua to Samuel, the last of the judges and the first of the prophets. It bridges the gap between Joshua and the rise of the monarchy. There was no leader to take Joshua's place in the way he had taken Moses' place. This was the trial period of the theocracy after they entered the land. 2. Morally it is the time of the deep declension of the people as they turned from the Unseen Leader and descended to the low level of "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes" kjv@Judges:17:6; also compare kjv@Judges:1:1 with 20:18). This should have been an era of glowing progress, but it was a dark day of repeated failure. This course can be plotted like a hoop rolling down the hill of time. The steps of a nation's downfall are outlined in the last division of the book (see outline). Isaiah, chapter 1, presents these same fatal steps downward that eventually led to the final captivity of the nation.
The nation serving God Delivered Did evil Judges raised up Forsook God Repented Turned to God Cried to God Servitude
Followed own way (pleasure) Sold into slavery (depression and war) Slavery
COMMENT: The New Scofield Reference Bible gives as the theme of the Book of Judges "Defeat and Deliverance." This is unusually appropriate. There is, however, another aspect which this book emphasizes — disappointment. The children of Israel entered the Land of Promise with high hopes and exuberant expectation. You would expect these people — who were delivered out of Egypt, led through the wilderness, and brought into the land with such demonstration of God's power and direction — to attain a high level of living and victory in the land. Such was not the case. They failed ignobly and suffered miserable defeat after defeat. God raised up judges to deliver His people when they apostatized and cried to Him in their misery. The book takes its name from these men whom God raised up. The judges exercised their ministry for the most part in a local and restricted area. All the judges were themselves limited in their capabilities. In fact, each one seemed to have some defect and handicap which was not a hindrance but became a positive asset under the sovereign direction of God. None of them were national leaders who appealed to the total nation as were Moses and Joshua. The record is not continuous but rather a spotty account of local judges in limited sections of the nation. I. Introduction to era of the judges, Chapters 1, 2 Chapter 1 — Mentioned are 9 of the 12 tribes in their failure to win a total victory in driving out the enemy. The 3 not mentioned are Reuben, Issachar, and Gad. It must be assumed that they likewise failed. Each tribe faced a particular enemy. At no time was the entire nation engaged in a warfare against any particular enemy. The weakness of the tribes is revealed in verse 3 where Judah called upon Simeon for help in his local situation. Chapter 2 — A report on the sad condition of the people, that eventually required judges to be raised up to deliver them. This chapter outlines the entire book and God's philosophy of human history. The words for "judge," "judgment," and "judged" are used 22 times. The word "evil" occurs 14 times. The people did evil and God raised up judges (vv. 11, 16). The people did evil because they did not obey God (vv. 2, 17). They did not obey because they did not believe God (v. 20). The cycle of history that they followed is given in verses 11 through 16.
II. Era of the judges, Chapters 3 — 16 Chapter 3 — The children of Israel intermarried with Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites among whom they lived. Israel did evil, forgot God, and served Baalim. God delivered them into slavery. Othniel, the first judge, was raised up to deliver them. His only qualification seems to be that he was the nephew of Caleb and married his daughter. Ehud, the second judge, was raised up to deliver Israel from the servitude of Eglon, king of Moab. His qualification was his being left-handed, which enabled him to gain the presence of the king without his concealed dagger being discovered. Shamgar was the third judge, who was an expert with an ox goad. He used it as an instrument of war against the Philistines and delivered Israel. All of the judges had some defect, odd characteristic or handicap that God used. The judges reveal that God can use any man or woman who is willing to be used. Chapter 4 — Deborah, the fourth judge, was a remarkable person and a great mother whom God raised up to deliver Israel from Jabin, king of Canaan. Deborah probably was the only judge, recorded in the Book of Judges, to rule over all of Israel. (Eli, as well as Samuel, did rule over all of Israel as judges, see kjv@1Samuel:2:29 — 3:21.) Because no man was willing to take the lead, Deborah did (v. 8). She pointed out to Barak (the fifth judge) that she would go but it would not be to his honor. Jael, a woman, slew Sisera, the captain of Canaan's forces. Chapter 5 — Contains the song of victory of Deborah and Barak. The lawlessness of the day caused Deborah to take the lead as a mother for the sake of her children (vv. 6, 7). There are remarkable features in this song (vv. 19, 20, 23). Chapter 6 — "Children of Israel did evil" (v. 1) is the reason for their being delivered into the hands of the Midianites. Gideon, the sixth judge, was raised up to deliver Israel. All the judges, as we have indicated, had some weakness, defect, or unusual characteristic that God actually exploited in order to deliver His people. Gideon was a coward at heart. His threshing grain at the winepress, instead of on
the threshing floor of a hilltop in sight of the Midianites, reveals this. Here is where the angel of the Lord, with a note of sarcasm, called him, "Thou mighty man of valor." Gideon pleads his weakness and littleness as an excuse. God equips him and encourages him in his first exploit. Chapter 7 — Here is where the choosing of the 300 takes place. He had an original army of 32,000. This was reduced by ferreting out the fearful and indifferent. Gideon equipped the 300 with pitchers, lamps and trumpets. The tactics of Gideon produced a riot in the army of the Midianites. Victory was Gideon's. Chapter 8 — Israel wanted to make Gideon king, which he refused. Gideon's answer is notable (v. 23). Gideon died, after which Israel went again into base idolatry. Chapter 9 — In most records Abimelech, the wicked son of Gideon, is not rated a judge. James M. Gray wrote, "The usurped rule of Abimelech, the fratricide, is not usually counted." He did rule 3 years after slaying 70 other sons of Gideon. He made himself king. His abortive reign reveals the truth of kjv@Daniel:4:17 — "…the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men…and setteth up over it the basest of men." "Like priest, like people" is the principle here, and God judged not only Abimelech but also the men of Shechem for making him king (vv. 56, 57). Chapter 10 — Tola, the seventh judge, did nothing worthy to record during his tenure in office of 23 years. Jair, the eighth judge, provided 30 donkeys for his 30 sons to ride upon. If he had lived in our day they would have driven Jaguars. Chapter 11 — Jephthah, the ninth judge, was an illegitimate son of a harlot. He was an outcast until Israel was at war with Ammon and needed a military leader. Jephthah had become a leader of a band of desperados. He was a sort of Robin Hood (v. 3). God used him to deliver and rule over Israel in order to humble them. The problem in this chapter is one of human sacrifice. Did Jephthah offer his daughter as a human sacrifice? Jephthah made a rash and unnecessary vow — his cause was just (v. 27). God had called him, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him (v. 29). However, Scripture never finds fault with him kjv@Hebrews:11:32). Abraham was not permitted to offer Isaac, and God would have prevented Jephthah from murder if his
intentions were to slay his daughter. Verse 31 offers the solution. The better translation of the last part of the verse should be "shall surely be the Lord's or I will offer a burnt offering." His vow was that she should never marry, which was worse than death for a Hebrew woman. With this in mind read vv. 37, 39 and 40. Chapter 12 — Ibzan, the tenth judge, spent his 7 years as judge making marriages for his 30 sons and 30 daughters. Elon, the eleventh judge, did nothing worthy to record in his tenure of 10 years. Abdon, the twelfth judge, got 70 donkeys for his 40 sons and 30 nephews during his 8 years as judge. Chapters 13 — 16 — The monotonous repetition of "And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD" opens chapter 13, and this is the last time it occurs. The birth of Samson was miraculous (vv. 2-5). Samson had a golden opportunity to deliver Israel. He never did. He is one of the two most colossal failures in Scripture (Solomon is the other one). He was a Nazarite, and long hair was the badge of his office. There was no strength in him. He was anemic, a weakling both physically and morally, a mama's boy, a regular sissy, a midget in mind and muscle. Three significant verses tell his story: (1) Secret of Samson's success — For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb. And he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. kjv@Judges:13:5) (2) Secret of Samson's strength — And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. kjv@Judges:13:25) (3) Secret of Samson's failure — And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not that the LORD was departed from him. kjv@Judges:16:20) Note the parallel between the life of Samson and that of Jesus Christ:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1.
Both births were foretold by an angel. Both were separated to God from the womb. Both were Nazarites. Both went in the power of the Holy Spirit. Both were rejected by their people. Both destroyed (or will destroy) their enemies. Samson lived a life of sin. Jesus' life was sinless. 2. Samson at the time of death prayed, "…O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes" kjv@Judges:16:28). Jesus prayed, "…Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" kjv@Luke:23:34). 3. In death Samson's arms were outstretched in wrath. In death Jesus' arms were outstretched in love. 4. Samson died. Jesus Christ lives!
III. Results of era of the judges, Chapters 17 — 21 Some label this section an appendix to the Book of Judges. We prefer to see here God's philosophy of history (see outline). The period of the judges is characterized by compromise, corruption, confusion. Chapters 17, 18 — This period of apostasy began in the tribe of Dan in their desire to enlarge their borders. It was another lapse into idolatry. It all can be traced to the home of Micah and his mother who spoiled him (17:2). The priest, hired by Micah to tend his idols, advised Dan to proceed with a selfish plan. This was the sweet talk of a hired preacher (17:6). Chapters 19 — 21 — This period is similar to the former in that it reveals compromise, corruption and confusion. This episode centers about the tribe of Benjamin. This tribe engaged in gross immorality which led to civil war. It began with the men of Benjamin abusing and finally murdering a Levite's wife. The other tribes try to exterminate the tribe of Benjamin. This period ends in total national corruption and con-
fusion, and with this the Book of Judges concludes: In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes. kjv@Judges:21:25) OUTLINE: I.

RUTH An addendum to the Book of Judges. A brochure of beauty. A bright picture on the black background of the judges. WRITER: Samuel could have been the writer KEY VERSE: kjv@Ruth:3:18 THEME: The kinsman-redeemer FEATURES: 1. A love story without using the word "love." 2. The story of a prodigal family who went to the far country. 3. The only example of the law of the kinsman-redeemer (Hebrew goel) in action. Also shows how other laws of the Mosaic system operated. 4. Furnishes the link between the tribe of Judah and David. The genealogy at the end of the book becomes a most important document. It is found again in the first chapter of Matthew. 5. A lovely picture of Christ and the church. COMMENT: We prefer not to break up this beautiful love story with notes and outlines of extended length. However we refer the reader to our book, Ruth and Esther: Women of Faith in which we attempt to tell this love story with all of its tenderness, sweetness, and loveliness. OUTLINE: I. In the land of Moab, Chapter 1 II. In the field of Boaz, Chapter 2 III. On the threshing floor of Boaz, Chapter 3 IV. In the heart and home of Boaz, Chapter 4

by Karen Lind Brauer
Maryland, USA
Today I spent time reviewing the excavation records and administrative archives of the Baltimore County Center for Archaeology. BCCA served as the field component of an elective high school course, "Exploring Our Buried Past", taught in as many as 18 high schools in the Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS), a large, suburban, kindergarten-through 12th grade-school district located in the US state of Maryland.
The Center involved high school students with first-hand, real-life experience undertaking primary research at the site of a 19th century, iron-producing, company town. During the winter months, in the middle of the school year, the Center presented Grade 3 school visitation programs serving as many as 100 classrooms per year. There were Summer school camps and multiple Teacher-in-Service programs that also took place at the Center which was located in a Baltimore County Recreation and Parks property called Oregon Ridge.
The archaeological education in the BCPS was part of the essential, or taught, curriculum (as opposed to being extra-curricular, 'outside' the formal instructional offerings). In operation for more than two decades, the Center closed down in the mid-2000's due to changing academic requirements that constrained social studies educational offerings and the retirement of the project's creator and leader, Social Studies Curriculum Specialist and Teacher Archaeologist for the BCPS, George Brauer.
I am picking through the Center's archive of files today because I recently learned that a fellow archaeologist, Stephen Israel, is attempting to gather information on the Center's programs and on its teacher participants. I know this archive should contain information that could be of help to him. Israel is preparing profiles on individuals who have contributed to Maryland Archaeology for a project entitled, Maryland Archaeology: Past Portraits. Looking over these files today I happily recall my time in the 1980's and 90's assisting with this enriching, educational opportunity that was experienced by almost 10,000 students being raised in our county.

Professor John Rupert Martin dies at 83
July 31, 2000 11:39 a.m.
John Rupert Martin, an emeritus professor of art who was an authority on the painter Peter Paul Rubens and had a large student following during his 40 years of teaching, died Wednesday night in Princeton.
The cause of death was Alzheimer's disease, his family said. He was 83.
"John Martin was a leader in his field of scholarship; a demanding and resourceful scholar who was extraordinarily interested in the world of art and who actively participated in the (Princeton University) Art Museum," said Peter C. Bunnell, a professor of art and archeology.

text: Lovers of the outdoors and adventure like to bask in this carefully crafted scent. The clean smell of a freshly discharged firearm combined with soap is a great novelty for many. This soap is handmade with real craft beer! Ingredients: Left Hand Milk Stout Beer, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Castor Oil, Sodium Lactate, Oatmeal, Bentonite Clay, Fragrance Oils & Activated Charcoal. Why Brew? The more appropriate question is "Why not brew?" With the craft beer fever rising, it is a great way to enhance the craft to a whole new level. The naturally occurring sugars found in alcohol attribute our soaps with a heavy lather, so we don't use harsh ingredients like most commercial soaps do to create an artificial lather. Also, the pH of beer is generally softer on skin than water. We remove water from the soapmaking process and insert beer in its stead. Our Beer Soap vs. Commercial Soap Many commercial soaps are technically detergents, because they're not made with lye like natural soap is. Commercial soaps and "body washes" use harsh chemicals and preservatives instead of lye and even coat your skin and hair with silicone to give the false feeling of softness and appearance of shine. Even after you make the switch to natural soap and shampoo, a few shower sessions are needed to get rid of that thin silicone film. The heavy milk stout beer used in our soaps helps to achieve the highest quality soap possible with the lather everyone enjoys. Many consumers enjoy soap made with milk, such as goats milk, which provides for a very mild soap. By using a milk stout beer, we get the very best of both worlds and the added bonus of heavy suds. Beyond that, our soaps are just plain fun with their creative designs and scents. There is something for people of all walks of life. Natural Ingredients & Eco-Friendly All of our soaps are vegan and made with natural, sustainable ingredients. We use certified organic oils when available, and we never use preservatives. We support recycling and reclaiming materials by using the inserts of wine cases to create our famous banding around each bar of soap. The lip balms, beard balms, and lotions are poured with local beeswax from Walker Honey Farm and always with essential oils. All of our accessories are handmade, and our washcloths are even crafted from 100% organic cotton.

Summer is here, and you're planning your vacations. Does your vacation destination include water activities for your kids? As with any activity for kids, parents need to be aware of safety guidelines to enjoy being in or out on the water, minimizing the potential for accidents.
As we prepare for the July Fourth celebrations, we wanted to provide some guidance for parents looking to add water activities to the mix. We sat down with two experts to talk about what you need to know about summer water activities. First, we sat down with professional scuba diver and PADI instructor Gramps Herndon of Black Crab Diving. Herndon teaches kids around the world to surf, snorkel, waterski and dive.
Here's what Gramps Herndon had to say about staying safe and having fun.
What are some great water activities for kids?
Kids love games, so any water sport that incorporates gaming is good for keeping them entertained. Paddleboarding is great for developing balance and motor skills. I also recommend competitive swimming if you're looking for a way to get kids some exercise or are trying to build a health conscious young person. The fun thing about a lot of water sports is that it can be an individual activity – so each kid can do whatever their skill set allows. Some kids don't like the stress of "playing" on a team, so with a lot of water sports the individual child is in charge of their performance. And of course, I always suggest scuba.
Why do you feel Scuba is such a great option for kids?
Scuba is a great way for them to build confidence. They also learn about leveling–where your skills get better over time. Because they are in control, it also provides them with a sense of ownership. At the same time though, it's a great family activity and gives parents and kids a chance to do something together. I always tell parents that scuba is a lifelong passion once they get started and it's a great way to get kids interested in the environment and become compassionate about marine life. Additionally, it's a fun activity that gets kids thinking academically–learning about the geography below first hand brings the value of studying from a book to life.
What is an appropriate age for kids to learn scuba or surfing?
When it comes to surfing, I think it comes down to the comfort level the kid has with the water. If they're scared of being in the water on their own, it's best to wait until their ready. Similarly, with diving, I think it's by the age of nine or ten that kids have developed the motor skills they need and have usually participated in enough activities and sports that they have a basic understanding of what is expected.
What is the best way to get kids comfortable with water?
The most important thing is making it fun and comfortable—removing the scary factor. It's ideal to start in a confined and controlled water space, such as a pool, a tide pool area, etc. You need to be able to control some of the possible dangers like water level and strength of the tide. It's good to do it in short intervals so they stay excited and don't get tired. It's important not to "task overload" kids. Make what they are doing relevant to what they are learning more broadly. Also, kids need to know the value–they are always going to ask "why?" Always be able to answer the "why" and relate it to the activity they will be doing.
Why is getting kids involved in water sports at an early age so important?
It's good to start young for a variety of reasons. One is that kids are less fearful to try new things, so starting them when they are younger means they will be able to learn with no inhibitions. They also have a natural curiosity–they love to try new things and learn about new things. Being well trained in water sports also helps them develop confidence.
What should parents know about more advanced water sports before they get their kids involved?
It's important to be aware of age restrictions of any water sport, and map those restrictions to what any specific kid can handle. In water sports, it's all about the environment and recognizing the situation as well as being able to think your way out of it. A lot of kids panic when they get out of their depth or they forget what the next move is. Knowing that your kid can handle the situation is one of the most important things to consider.
What should parents look for when finding a guide/instructor/teacher for water sports?
I think it's a combination of skill and personality. It's vital to know what the person's safety record is and if they are trained in the right areas–like pediatric CPR. On the flip side, you also want someone who has the personality and desire to get to know kids and understand their boundaries. All kids learn in different ways, so instructor fit is super important. I also recommend looking for a low student to teacher ratio to make sure your kids are getting the attention they need. You want your kids to learn and have fun, and that outcome is often dictated by the instructor you choose. Choose wisely.
Are there things they should be cautious of when working with resorts/vacation spots?
There are some important things to consider. Make sure the resorts have forms and liability waivers. Ensure they are certified to teach kids and know pediatric CPR. I always encourage parents to ask to see the safety devices on the premises and on the boat to make sure they are up-to-date and in good working order. I recommend you select a place that is insured as well and a place that wants some level of parental participation. It's always worrisome if they want you to just drop the kids off without knowing anything about the kid or their current skill level.
What would you tell parents to encourage them to get their kids active in water sports?
When parents ask me about getting their kids involved, I always tell them to remember that kids get excited to try new things. They see it on TV or in a movie and they want to do it. Encouraging them to try things like scuba and surfing is something they can tangibly do. It gives them a chance to expand their skills and strength. They just need to understand their child and how that kid wants to be involved. Whatever you do, make it fun, don't make it complicated.
In your experience, what excites kids most when you're teaching them to surf and scuba?
Kids love the water, they love the unknown. They also love any chance where they have the opportunity to be a superhero, and the ocean seems to be the perfect place. I think it's also that they get to see nature in real life. Swimming near turtles or seeing dolphins when you've only ever seen them in a book or on TV is really cool.
Next, we sat down with a pediatrics specialist. Dr. Danelle Fisher chairs the Providence Saint John's Health Center Department of Pediatrics and is Co-Medical Director of the Cleft Palate program. Dr. Fisher will also be joining the new Playa Vista medical office this summer. Below, she offers her perspective on how to keep kids safe in the water.
Water sports are a fun way to spend the summer and vacations. They provide excellent exercise and inspire confidence in children who participate. Here are some tips to having a safe summer while having a great time with your kids:
- Children need to be proficient and confident swimmers to participate in water sports. They should practice ocean swimming before trying sports like surfing or scuba and be aware of their limits. Before engaging in any water sport, it is important that kids receive swim lessons by a trained instructor. Starting lessons when they are young is the best path to help your kids thrive in the water.
- Life jackets are a must when children are in a boat, and I'd recommend them for adults as well.
- Children should never be swimming without adult supervision, which includes the pool, lake, river or beach. Adults who are supervising swimming children should refrain from drug or alcohol consumption.
- Sunscreen needs to be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure and should be reapplied every two hours while in the sun. Sunscreen should be used by children and adults of all skin colors and tones. Sunscreen should have an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher.
- Weather forecast and water condition are two important pieces of information to know before any water outing occurs. Read posted signs before entering a body of water.
- Some children have special needs and require more surveillance or assistance than others. Some may have medical devices which should not get wet. Consult your pediatrician if your child has special needs before taking them into the water.
- Swimming is a good option for children with most medical conditions. Specifically, swimming can be a good sport for a child with asthma.
- Proper age for swimming: children can start going in a pool around four months of age and can use sunscreen then as well, provided they do not have a skin reaction to the sunscreen like a rash. Children can begin swim lessons in infancy but they should always have formal lessons after four years of age, at which time they retain skills needed for swimming.
- Proper age for surfing or waterskiing: children should be proficient swimmers, wear sunscreen and any protective gear, and have a trained instructor who is comfortable working with children. A good age to start depends on the child and will be dictated by the level of comfort swimming and being in the water.
- Proper age for scuba: children should be proficient swimmers and also good readers and be able to comprehend the training for scuba, typically around age nine to ten years.
If you have additional questions about water sports safety, you can find a pediatrician in our provider directory.

The State of the Union Address delivered by President Clinton on Jan. 23, 1995 included the following: > For years, Congress has concealed in the budget scores of pet > spending projects -- and last year was no different: A million > dollars to study STRESS IN PLANTS, $12 million for a tick-removal > programs that didn't even work. Give me the line item veto and I'll > save the taxpayers money. (emphasis is mine) The full text of the speech is available at: ftp://fwux.fedworld.gov/pub/w-house/0125-13.txt This comment appears to be a repetition of an error which Ross Perot made in his campaign where "stress in plants" was interpreted anthropomorphically. That is, Mr. Perot followed his initial comment on this with something like "why should taxpayers care whether plants feelings are hurt". I have sent the following to the President (president at whitehouse.gov) to educate him on the usage of the term "plant stress" by plant biologists. >Dear Mr. Clinton, >It has come to my attention that you have (probably inadvertently) >propagated Ross Perot's misconception about the value of studying >"Plant Stress". You noted in your recent "State of the Union" address >that such research would appear to be frivolous. You are apparently >unaware of what the term "plant stress" means. The stresses studied by >researchers in this area include: flooding, drought, salt stress, heat, >and UV radiation. I am sure that you can see that the agricultural >community may have more than a passing interest in how to mitigate the >effects that some of these ubiquitous environmental problems (or >disasters in some cases!) have on crop yield. In fact, breeding for >flood and drought tolerance are critical aspects of ensuring sufficient >yield to farmers who grow their crops in areas with uncertain weather >(i. e. nearly all areas!). It would be great if you could correct this >misstatement to the press, but please, in the future, do not continue >this misrepresentation of the vital work that has been funded in this >area. I thought other members of the plant community might want to make their views known to the President either through e-mail or some other medium.

As its competition announced new models that shoot squarely at the heart of Amazon's Kindle e-reader business, Amazon responded by quietly unleashing a 3G variant of its Kindle With Special Offers. Like the Wi-Fi-only Kindle With Special Offers, this model shaves $25 off the price in exchange for turning the screensaver into a targeted advertising slate with deals.
The Wi-Fi Kindle With Special Offers shipped just six weeks ago, and at $114, Amazon has said it already has shot to best-selling Kindle status. Now, the same special offers, which can vary from discounts on Amazon merchandise to discounts on Kindle and Audible books, and on Amazon gift cards.
Are Price Breaks Enough to Stay Ahead?
With this move, Amazon maintains its price lead on both its Wi-Fi- and 3G-connected products. For that matter, Amazon is now just one of two e-reader makers in the market with a 3G product (Sony being the other, with its Sony Reader Daily Edition). The other two notable players in this space, Barnes & Noble and Kobo, each only have Wi-Fi-equipped E Ink e-readers now.
Barnes & Noble just took the wraps of its second-generation Nook reader, and while the new device adds an infrared touch screen at a $139 price, the company didn't mention plans for bringing a 3G model to market, too. Kobo also this week introduced its new Kobo eReader Touch Edition at $10 less, and it too only connects via Wi-Fi.
The new B&N and Kobo models have been--predictably--compared to the third-generation Amazon Kindle, and rightly so. But aside from introducing touch screen overlays at an affordable price (Sony's touch models remain stratospherically priced, with the comparably sized Reader Touch Edition priced at $229), these models are largely playing catch-up to Amazon's Kindle. They're first getting the E Ink Pearl display, nearly a year after Amazon debuted the technology.
That reality raises the question of whether Amazon can stave off the competition on a technical basis (answer: It stands a good chance of having enough chops to remain competitive with the newcomers, although the final judgment remains to be seen once the noobs ship and the reviews are in).
It also raises the question: What more can Amazon do to take on the competition?
The answer there is more complex. While Amazon can probably hold its own on the strength of its current product line, it can and should move forward with innovation on its dedicated Kindle e-reader. While integrating touch into its design is an obvious gimme, Amazon needs to go beyond shaving off millimeters from the chassis and ounces from the weight if it truly wants to stay in front.
Another move that's less obvious, but would make total sense: Introducing an Android-based operating system to Kindle. Frankly, Kindle apps have been a no-show, in spite of a developer's program being in place. And given Amazon's investment in an Android app store-and that arch-rival Barnes & Noble already uses Android as the basis for its e-reader-moving to Android would be a logical next step, and one that can leverage Android app ecosystem (at least, in so far as apps can be tailored to run on a non-LCD device).
What lies ahead for Amazon's Kindle is anyone's guess, really. But one thing's for sure: Amazon will have an answer to these latest e-reader developments. It's just a question of when the company will reveal its hand--and how its next step in dedicated e-readers will fit in with its rumored Android tablet.

All full version WordPress blogs permit multiple bloggers to blog from the same blog, if you want it that way. Recently, WordPress.com announced the feature to add more than one blogger to a single WordPress.com blog.
So the question is asked by Geek News Central, "Which Author is Better: One or Many?"
Wikipedia, the popular online reference source for undergraduates and consumers, worldwide, has more than 15 times the number of articles than the well-known Encyclopedia Britannica, the self-proclaimed "world's most indispensable and reliable reference resource?…
…Britannica uses a hired team of 4,000 authors and offers distributorships for its products—clearly a commercial enterprise; the number of contributors in this well-organized company is dwarfed by the communal and egalitarian league of Wikipedians (Wikipedia contributors and editors), over 1,000,000 of whom are registered, and an undisclosed number of whom are unregistered.
…the question is begged: Can we trust the veracity of content if the author and his or her experience is unknown?
Recent news reports have called it a toss-up between Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia, in regard to the accuracy of content in articles…
Good point.
Back to your blog. If you choose to go with more than one blogger on your blog, what are you doing about monitoring the other bloggers? Is monitoring their posts and comments part of your plan for your blog, or is it a free-for-all? How do you manage more than one blogger? Is it a team effort with a plan or everyone does what they want as long as it comes under a central theme or goal?
What do you think about a blog with more than one blogger? Does it change the nature of the blog to more of a magazine (ezine) or newspaper rather than a blog? Does having more than one voice change the nature of a blog, if there is such a thing as only one kind of "blog"? Is there?
Thinking in general terms, when I hear someone talk about their blog, I think about a single person writing with a singular view. I don't think about a blog as representative of many views and voices. Do you?
Should there be a classification for single voice blogs and multi-voice blogs? Or is a blog is a blog is a blog? When does it become a collection of columns, an ezine, or a website? Is there a point when a blog transforms into something else just because of the sheer number of voices featured?
I'd love to hear your opinion on this if you are either blogging with more than one blogger or considering a multi-blogger blog. What are your plans, how is this going to work, and do you think it's still a blog with more than one blogger?

BP Settles Criminal Suit Over Gulf Oil Spill
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. Good morning. Let's talk next about what's being described as the largest criminal fine in U.S. history. BP will pay nearly $1.3 billion for crimes associated with its 2010 drilling rig accident and oil spill, in the Gulf of Mexico. On top of that, the company will pay more than $3 billion to settle claims from the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission. NPR's Jeff Brady reports.
JEFF BRADY, BYLINE: It's been more than two and a half years since the Deepwater Horizon accident and oil spill. That disaster launched a massive clean-up, and a series of investigations. Yesterday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder stood before microphones in New Orleans, to announce the latest effort at delivering justice to those affected.
ERIC HOLDER: BP has agreed to plead guilty to all 14 criminal charges; including responsibility for the deaths of 11 people, and the events that led to an unprecedented environmental catastrophe.
BRADY: BP is pleading guilty to felony manslaughter, and admits to obstructing a congressional investigation. Three managers at the company also will face criminal charges. BP declined a request for a recorded interview. In a written statement, the oil giant's chief executive, Bob Dudley, said the deal reached with the government demonstrates that BP has accepted responsibility for its actions. He also said the company deeply regrets the tragic loss of life caused by the accident.
Twenty-eight-year-old Gordon Jones was among the crewmen killed. While the criminal charges are some comfort, there's another issue his brother, Chris Jones, can't get out of his mind. He says BP never apologized to his family. Speaking by cellphone, Jones says the company had opportunities to do that.
CHRIS JONES: When we testified before Congress, when a representative of the BP was two seats down from us; to look us in the eye and say, "I'm sorry for your loss" - that has never happened.
BRADY: In the company's statement released yesterday, BP executive Bob Dudley did apologize for his company's role in the Deepwater Horizon accident. But that's clearly, not enough for Jones.
JONES: I've read their press release, and I don't think that they're truly sorry for what happened. I think they're sorry that they lost a lot of money.
BRADY: BP estimates this agreement will increase its total spill costs to almost $42 billion. Under this settlement, the Securities and Exchange Commission will receive about $500 million. The SEC accused BP of low-balling the amount of oil that spilled into the gulf.
The National Academy of Sciences will receive $350 million, under the agreement; and a group called the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will get nearly $2.4 billion. Speaking just after the agreement was made public, Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu said that last announcement surprised her.
SENATOR MARY LANDRIEU: I've been doing a lot of studying up, the last couple of hours, and happy to see that they enjoy a good reputation. I was a little shocked that only one person on their entire, 30-person board is from the Gulf Coast. Most everybody's from Connecticut and Washington and Illinois and Wyoming. That was a little disconcerting.
BRADY: Landrieu says she's impressed with the foundation's track record, and she hopes board members understand the needs of her region.
This is not the end of the BP case. A trial to determine civil penalties, is still scheduled for February. Jackie Savitz, with the group Oceana, estimates under the Clean Water Act, BP is liable for $20 billion in fines, and up to 30 billion under the Oil Pollution Act.
JACKIE SAVITZ: And so when you start adding those up, there's still tens of billions of dollars on the table that BP owes the public; that we hope the Department of Justice will continue to pursue and eventually, get.
BRADY: Attorney General Holder says there have been negotiations with BP on civil penalties, but no agreement yet.

Stephen Miller and his wife are trying to start Sunrise Airlines, but will their plan to add a carrier at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport take flight?
A new Sarasota resident is hoping to create a new airline based at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
But to do so, Stephen Miller and his wife, Hannah, say they need to raise roughly $30 million to launch the proposed Sunrise Airlines of Sarasota.
To date, the couple have not persuaded any investors, though they have developed a detailed business plan that involves flying nonstop to 24 cities as far away as Los Angeles.
In addition to financing, the Millers also will need Federal Aviation Administration approvals, for which they have yet to submit any necessary documents.
Stephen Miller, 73, an airline veteran, said he was moved to create a carrier after moving to Longboat Key with his wife in 2011. Conditions were exacerbated last summer, when AirTran Airways — Sarasota-Bradenton's second-largest carrier — pulled out.
"Sarasota-Bradenton residents and visitors have endured inferior air connections for too long," Miller said. "The long journey time it takes to get through connecting airports discourages travelers, especially older people."
Sunrise's nonstop flights would be "two to six hours" shorter than most connecting flights, he said.
But unlike AirTran, its fares would be full-priced, though competitive with other local carriers. AirTran flew 365,000 passengers into and out of the market in 2011, and put pricing pressure on competing carriers. Since AirTran's exit, carriers such as United Airlines, JetBlue and Delta have filled in some route gaps.
The Millers' plan comes as Sarasota-Bradenton passenger traffic is expected to dip by 15 percent, largely the result of the loss of AirTran, said airport chief executive Fredrick "Rick" Piccolo.
Piccolo said the Sunrise plan could receive a welcome response in Southwest Florida.
"There is enough affluence in this area to help raise the money needed to start this project," said Piccolo, who has met with the Millers to discuss their proposal. "It comes down to credibility with investors."
Economic development "impact"
Miller established Sunrise a year ago, with an aim toward leasing at least four Boeing 737 airplanes.
He hopes to begin offering flights from Sarasota by October 2013.
With $30 million from investors, Miller contends that he could generate $164.3 million in earnings before taxes by the end of Sunrise's first year of operation.
By the fourth year, Miller believes his airline could earn $76.1 million.
If Sunrise does take flight, it could dramatically alter local passenger counts, which have fallen along with the number of carriers and flights offered because of industry consolidation.
In 1990, for example, Sarasota-Bradenton had 2 million passengers and 12 airlines that offered direct and nonstop flights to 14 destinations. Eleven years later, it had 1.3 million passengers, with only four airlines and a total of 10 destinations.
In its first year, Miller hopes to fly Sunrise to eight cities, including Baltimore, Detroit, Indianapolis and Boston. Some of those communities were served by AirTran.
A leading industry analyst said he believes Sunrise could fill a niche.
"Sarasota can take a whole lot more traffic, and research shows there's a market for that," said Michael Boyd, chairman of Boyd Group International, a Colorado-based aviation firm.
Visit Sarasota County, the county's tourism agency, said new flights would mean increased marketing.
"We would be very excited to promote it, they just have to crack that $30 million investment first," said Virginia Haley, president of Visit Sarasota County.
Challenges ahead
Miller acknowledges that he has significant challenges ahead. The FAA application alone to create an airline is both lengthy and expensive.
Airlines must also have valid certificates, too, which can be purchased from folded operations or granted by the FAA.
Just five airlines applied for certificates in 2010, federal records show, and of those, only three were approved. Three more airlines applied in 2012, but none was granted before year-end.
The Millers have yet to acquire a certificate or file for an FAA license.
Sunrise, however, would not be the couple's first airline startup. Stephen Miller founded Dragonair, a Hong Kong-based airline that launched in 1984.
He also was CEO of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines from 2004 until 2008, when the airline shut down following a shareholder dispute.
The couple also are not the first entrepreneurs to try and start a local airline. Piccolo said that in his 42-year career in the aviation business, he has witnessed roughly 50 serious inquiries. Few have succeeded.
"Mr. Miller is not a novice to the airline industry," Piccolo said. "His plan is ambitious, but not impossible."
Boyd agrees.
"Friends don't let friends start an airline," Boyd said. "But this is a guy who has already done it. There are many, many hurdles to go through, but that doesn't mean it can't be done."

A US federal judge in Seattle last week granted class-action status to a 2007 lawsuit that claimed Microsoft defrauded consumers by promoting PCs as "Vista Capable" when some could run only the most basic version of the then-still-unreleased operating system.
US District Court Judge Marsha Pechman, however, also put some limitations on the plaintiffs, blocking them, for instance, from arguing that Microsoft deceived consumers because that would require an individual determination for each person included in the class action.
Instead, said Pechman, the lawsuit may pursue a "price inflation" line of reasoning, which would argue that PC buyers paid more than they would have had not Microsoft's marketing boosted demand and increased prices of systems able to run Vista Home Basic, the lowest-priced and simplest edition.
In agreeing that the class-action suit could move forward on that basis, Pechman summarized the argument. "Plaintiffs argue that Microsoft artificially inflated demand for computers only capable of running Vista Home Basic, causing Plaintiffs to pay more for those PCs than they would have without the 'Windows Vista Capable' campaign," she wrote in her 25-page opinion. "Consumers paid for Vista capability (i.e., the computers were priced higher because of their Vista capability), but allegedly did not receive 'real' Vista capability."
The decision was a setback to Microsoft, which now faces a much larger potential pool of plaintiffs.
The original lawsuit, filed almost a year ago by Washington state resident Diane Kelley, charged Microsoft with deceptive practices in letting PC makers slap a "Vista Capable" sticker on PCs, when "a large number" of the machines would be able to run only Vista Home Basic. Kelley was later joined by a Californian, Kenneth Hansen. Together, they had requested class action status for the lawsuit in November.

The Perfect Scoop: Grassroots Tortilla Chip Innovation
In the past I've written at length about the sophisticated chemistry behind chip flavors, high-pressure chip popping techniques, and the structural integrity of Doritos. Giant snack food companies (aka Big Chip) spend serious money developing their products, but they don't always get it right. Sometimes it takes a passionate consumer—a mere individual—to create true innovation. Kindred spirit Dan Pashman, of the excellent Sporkful Podcast and Blog, is one such individual.
In Dan's recent Sporkful post, he turns the notion of the scoop-shaped tortilla chip literally on its head, suggesting that the proper chip orientation for guacamole consumption is actually inverted, like a dome. Intrigued, I set up a call with Dan to get the full scoop (sorry).
If you've ever had the embarrassing experience of breaking a scoop chip in the middle of a serious guacamole sweep, then you'll love Dan's discovery as much as I do. In talking with a structural engineer, Dan learned that if a regular tortilla chip "undulates [even slightly] it gives a lot of the same properties as a dome." Why does that matter? Well, an arch is a very strong architectural form and a three dimensional arch is a dome. The seed of the idea was planted in Dan's head, but it wasn't until later, when he was cutting together the interview audio for the Sporkful that it all came together:
"It's 6:30 in the morning and my daughter's watching Dora [the Explorer] and I'm drinking coffee. The engineer is talking about the dome, and I thought, 'wait a second— if you turn the scoop upside down it's a dome!'
It was this eureka moment. I got so excited! My wife rolled out of bed, she's 8 months pregnant, and I'm like, 'you're not going to believe what I figured out!' And she was just not impressed at all. Because she's pregnant and tired. But I just knew this was something people were going to be excited about."
After talking with Dan, I ran home to try out the technique myself. I was without the goods to make guacamole but did have a tub of fridge-cold whipped feta—arguably the most chip-challenging dip on the planet. I have to say it wasn't kind to the standard scoop technique:
I had two out of five scoops snap on me when using the traditional technique, whereas zero out of five broke when used like a dome. My confidence in the technique boosted, I attempted to push the limits and load a dome with an absurd amount of whipped feta. And it worked—more whipped feta than I would ever care to eat in one bite.
Thanks, Dan. We owe you one.

The DMC: Devil May Cry trailer from E3 showed a hack-and-slash action game set in a dark world where demons/devils control society through media and products. In the game, the main character, Dante, joins forces with an Anonymous-like group called The Order to fight against the demonic rulers. Anyone who played the demo, got to fight one such ruler: The disgusting creature above. But, do you know what its name is?
Apparently, the multi-armed, venom-spewing, wall-crawler is called a Succubus. According to information released, the Succubus is a thousand-year-old demon that protects a factory that produces Virility, a highly addictive drink in the demon-ruled world that probably tastes like canned Soylent Green. (Actually according to participants of Capcom's private show, CAPTIVATE, this past April, it's more of a Muscat flavored sports drink) Dante must defeat the Succubus to save all the people addicted to Virility.
According to folklore, succubi are attractive female demons that seduce men while they sleep. Succubi have appeared in stories and numerous games in the past. In fact, Capcom's own Darkstalkers series features the succubus character, Morrigan, quite prominantly. I'm not sure what interpretation of folklore the developers at Ninja Theory are using, but I don't really see this thing successfully seducing me in my dreams. It seems more likely to show up in my nightmares…
DMC: Devil May Cry is scheduled for release in January, 2013.

Topic: Republic Commando: Alpha Squad
as far as i know, there is no RepCom RPG. so here's a limited person RP where me and several others would be part of Alpha Squad. My charry is Kad, Mandalorian for Saber, and Kal Skirata was the squads training sergeant (unless most others want to change that). If we get enough people, we can start a second squad.
Kad is the squads sergeant, and we need a sniper, tech expert, and explosives expert. We will need to decide on a first objective. Any other vode who want to become a commando, here's the place. Oya!!
