"A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones."
It has become traditional as we flip our Gregorian calendars from December to January each year to assess the old year and resolve to amend our faults and shortcomings in the new. Unfortunately, the assessing has devolved into a series of meaningless "Best of" and "Worst of" lists, while the amending of our ways chiefly concerns foods we love to eat, liquids we like to drink, weight we need to lose, and exercise we ought to do. As for real soul-searching and determination to improve one's character, for most that has passed from the scene with the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon.
In the church, we often relegate these exercises to the run-up to Passover, as we follow the dictate in II Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves. We consider our spiritual growth over the past year—or lack thereof—and resolve to pursue real change with zeal and humility. This is all to the good. As anyone who has ever tackled a long-term project knows, frequent evaluation and subsequent course-correction help to keep the project on track and focused on the goal. The process we are involved with in cooperation with the God of the universe is essentially the same with the exception that it is far more important.
Most of us, it seems, tend to approach this annual self-evaluation from a micro rather than macro perspective. In other words, we ignore the big questions of life to focus on the details of our personal circumstances. Instead of stepping back and trying to see how the whole fits together, we stoop down to examine the minutest pieces individually and separately. As Jesus instructed on an entirely different topic, "These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone" (Matthew 23:23).
This oft-repeated tendency is not surprising, since the world routinely takes the same path. It is, frankly, an offshoot of the selfishness, the self-centeredness, of human nature. We are so often involved in our own thoughts and feelings—all of the time, really—that we naturally gravitate toward I, me, and mine to the nth degree. And I, me, and mine so interest us that we are likely to pursue what we think is best for them with such attention and devotion that all else is diminished, ignored, or even forgotten as of little account. Thus, our age is marked with the stain of narcissism, and its blot has bled through into God's church to no small extent.
A few decades ago, the church was frequently reminded of some of the big issues of life through the preaching of Herbert W. Armstrong. Each holy day, or at least each Feast of Tabernacles, he would force us to ask ourselves, "Why are we here?" He meant, not just "Why are we celebrating this holy time?" but also "Why do we exist?" "Why has God called us?" "Why have the events of our lives, ordained and manipulated by our sovereign God, brought us to this point?" "Where are we headed?" "Where does God want us to go, and what is He doing to get us there?" Too often, having heard the sermon many times before, we listened politely but took little of it to heart.
How true is the saying, "If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else"! Pursuing the answers to the big questions should determine the goal. If we fail to revisit the overarching principles from time to time, we are liable to stray from the most direct course toward their achievement. Once we begin to wander from the path, sin—missing the mark—enters into the picture.
Under the New Covenant, Christians are not required to do this, but the principle it expresses is still apropos. We need to be reminded frequently to take a step back, to remember our place and mission before God, and to evaluate how well we have followed His lead. This points out the tragedy in the loss of the Sabbath in the Christianity of this world, for though Christians do not have to wear tassels, the fourth commandment reads, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8). The Sabbath day is a weekly reminder of God, His creation (both the physical creation and the ongoing spiritual creation), His holiness, and our participation with Him in His plan. These are all big-picture items.
Once each year is not enough to evaluate our course. God provides us an opportunity once each week to do some big-picture thinking, to take a measurement and re-orient our prow toward the one point on the horizon that will bring us to our predetermined destination, the Kingdom of God.


Thousands of people headed online for a live 'Question Time' style broadcast with Dudley community leaders.
Senior figures from the council, police, health and education answered questions for more than an hour and a half at the event last night (Weds).
The session was broadcast live on Dudley Council's Facebook page as well as on Black Country Radio.
The panel included Councillor Qadar Zada, leader of the council; Chief Superintendent Sally Bourner, Dudley Police Commander; Neil Thomas, College Principal – Dudley College of Technology; and Neill Bucktin, commissioner at Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group.
Topics included fly-tipping, regeneration, town centres, crime, GP appointments and health services, higher education, provision for young people and much more.
The post reached almost 9,000 people as more than 160 comments were added to the page. The live video had more than 4,000 views with hundreds more listening on radio.
I set out our agenda of being more visible, accessible and working in the community, this is one of a range of methods we intend to use to do that. The council will become more resident facing and more resident focused.
This shows the importance of bringing partners together in one place and showing we are listening to people's ideas and concerns.
We are always looking for new ways to listen to people and use the information they give us to improve their communities.
People can watch the 90 minute video on the council's Dudley Borough Facebook page or on the council's YouTube channel. The event was organised by Dudley Council and hosted by Dudley College.
The session complements the ongoing community forums where people can share their ideas and raise concerns with councillors. The next round runs from February 27 to March 19.

The thing which matters a lot is making the right choice; bargain what you avail and what you don't. Visit our blog for more tips and ideas.


One Response to What should a physics major know?
You really did leave with quoting Justice Stewart.
1- design/conduct an experiment and get results (zero still counts).
2- read and understand a reported experiment (and lightly, a theory).
3- communicate their findings to others (that thing called a paper or thesis and presentations).
That the PostDoc is then able to do no.1 with a variety, not just the same thing over and over again.
Arguing against him (thinking I could be finished in 12-18 months) I plea I know nothing- but I know that I know something, I just think all of that something isn't enough for that one thing called a PhD.
So let me tell you what I think a physics major should know, and yeah, I'll be tooting my own and yours too: my undergraduate curriculum.
I know, but listen- the modern physics course (I had Steinberg) isn't standard, as far as I've seen. And I'm *terribly* grateful for it. On top of that, the advanced lab (with Lane) gave me practical troubleshooting skills not taught in a mechanics (classical or e&m) lab. And the gripe I hear when I tell someone the first week of your intro class freshman year was particle based… The computation work freshman year with Tony…. none of this seems to be standard- and I'm particularly lucky that it was compulsory.
The bonus really came junior and senior year with the special topics courses- because those really let you mind reach out and explore what is happening currently… at least to an mild/lowly graduate level lecture experience. (If you had graduate experimental courses… ) But we- students- can't tread water without those "fundamental" courses, because they're the supporting principles of the topics.
I'll allow the hubris in this case: I've mastered the high school physics. You know- that stuff they teach to the engineers to build a toothpick bridge. Probably in part because of how many times I've had to teach it to someone else. But I haven't mastered the real theoretically complicated stuff- and maybe, just maybe, if I end up teaching that to someone, I just might.

Baseball: UMaine gets a walk-off win
Fran Whitten (Westborough, Mass.) hit a walk-off three run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and give Maine a 5-2 win over Northeastern on Tuesday afternoon at Goodall Park in Sanford, Maine. The Black Bears extend their winning streak to eight games with the win.
Maine improves to 23-21 on the season, while Northeastern falls to 15-29.
Maine got on the board in the top of the third inning. Taylor Lewis (Montville, Conn.) started a two-out rally with a single to center. Michael Fransoso (Portsmouth, N.H.) followed and was hit. Joey Martin (Portland, Maine) then singled to center, sending Lewis home from first base for his team-leading 34th RBI of the season.
It looked as if Northeastern's Jon Leroux would have an extra base hit in the top of the fourth inning, but a spectacular diving catch by Ian Leisenheimer (Middle Village, N.Y.) sent the Huskies down in order.
Northeastern tied the game in the top of the fifth inning. Connor Lyons drew a walk and then stole second base. He moved to third when Jeff Dunlap grounded out and scored on an error.
The Huskies took their first lead of the game in the top of the sixth inning. Aaron Barbosa reached on a bunt single and the stole both second and third base. He scored on a Matt Miller sacrifice fly to right field.
Maine tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. Fransoso singled to shortstop. He advanced to second on an error and scored when Martin singled to center field.
In the bottom of the ninth, Ian Leisenheimer drew a walk and Troy Black (Mississauga, Ontario) was hit before Whitten belted his home run. For Whitten, it was his fourth home run of the season.
Kevin Scanlan (Sudbury, Mass.) got the start on the mound and had his best outing of the season. He went five innings and allowed two runs, just one of which was earned, on a pair of hits. He struck out four batters. He was replaced by A.J. Bazdanes (Nashua, N.H.) who pitched three innings without allowing a hit. Bazdanes struck out five batters. Jonathan Balentina (Willemstad, Curacao) pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up the win. He improves to 3-1 on the season.
Kevin Ferguson got the start for the Huskies and went four innings. He allowed one run on four hits while striking out three. He was replaced by Matt Cook. Cook went 3.2 innings and allowed one run on three hits. He was replaced by Sean Lyons who went a third of an inning and allowed three runs on one hit. He picks up the loss and falls to 0-1 on the season.
The Black Bears return to action on Saturday, May 14 when the Black Bears host Hartford for a doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for 3 PM.

The Cubs signed two of the best prospects in the 2013 international class in Jimenez and shortstop Gleyber Torres. Four years later, both have been traded away. The Cubs dealt Torres to the Yankees at the 2016 trade deadline in a package for closer Aroldis Chapman. Jimenez, who signed for $2.8 million, was sent to the White Sox in 2017 as the grand prize in a four-player package for lefthander Jose Quintana. Jimenez showed standout tools at every stop with the Cubs, played in two consecutive Futures Games and went viral on Twitter last season with a home run in the Carolina League all-star game home run derby that blasted a light tower in left field, a la Roy Hobbs in "The Natural." As far as games that counted, Jimenez missed time with shoulder and hamstring injuries at high Class A Beach but returned to star form after the mid-July trade to the White Sox. Scouts who saw Jimenez last season used words like "manchild," "mutant" and "Superman." More specifically, Jimenez is an intimidating, strong-bodied prospect with a whip-quick bat capable of massive home runs. More than his raw power, which is borderline top of the scale, Jimenez is a diligent, dedicated worker. One manager recalled seeing Jimenez strike out multiple times during a game, then seeing him on the field early the next day for tracking drills. Rival managers lamented not being able to find many holes in his swing, even when they'd pitch him backward. And here's the scary part: He might not be done developing physically. Jimenez played all season at 20 years old, and still has room to sculpt his body and add more strength, possibly becoming a perennial 40-home run threat. Defensively, he's spent his career flopping back and forth between right and left field, with left his likely eventually home because of his below-average arm. He's also a tick below-average runner. Defense and speed were never expected to be selling points of his game, however. Jimenez is a hitter, period, with mix of power and the ability to get to it to change a game. Jimenez will likely begin 2018 back at Double-A Birmingham. With a rare mix of above-average hitting ability, massive power potential and the work ethic to make it all click, Jimenez projects as foundational hitter in the middle of the White Sox's order for years to come.
Kopech has long reigned as one of the hardest-throwing starters in the minors, and the White Sox acquired him as part of the trade for Chris Sale at the 2016 Winter Meetings. Kopech had a couple of extracurricular incidents mar his development--a 50-game suspension for amphetamines and a broken hand sustained in a fight with a teammate--but he's still become an elite prospect and finished a dominant 2017 at Triple-A Charlotte. Kopech's calling card is his top-of-the-scale fastball, which sits in the upper-90s and regularly touches 100 mph with armside run and downhill plane. It's an elite pitch, but he will overthrow it at times. The White Sox asked Kopech to add a two-seam fastball to induce more grounders and help teach him not to overthrow. Kopech boasts a slider that projects as a future plus pitch, as well as an average, low-90s changeup the White Sox encouraged him to throw more. Kopech still needs to iron out some inconsistencies in his delivery--particularly a tendency to fall off the rubber--in order to improve his below-average command and control. Kopech is likely to begin 2018 back at Triple-A, with a good shot of making his major league debut during the year. If he can tame his arsenal a bit more, he can be a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Considered a candidate to go first overall in the 2016 draft, Hansen had a disastrous junior season at Oklahoma and got bumped from the starting rotation as well as the first round. The White Sox snatched him up in the second round and signed him for $1.2 million. They started Hansen in Rookie-ball after signing to regain his confidence against less experienced hitters, and he came out in 2017 and finished second in the minors with 191 strikeouts, finishing in Double-A. Hansen starts his arsenal with a hard mid-90s fastball that peaks at 98 mph. He gets downward plane on the pitch, and the White Sox made mechanical tweaks--namely keeping his shoulders even throughout his delivery--to help keep his fastball life consistent. Hansen couples the pitch with a hard curveball that flashes plus potential. He's improved his changeup from a show-me pitch at Oklahoma to one with heavy sink and average potential. He's also working to develop a slider. Hansen's imposing size at 6-foot-7, 235 pounds gives him an intimidation factor on the mound, but also contributes to inconsistent command and control. Hansen will return to Double-A to begin 2018. He has the ceiling of a No. 3 starter if everything clicks.
Robert built an impressive track record in Cuba, including posting an .895 OPS as a 15-year-old against older competition in the island's national 18U league. Robert had heaps of international success as well and signed with the White Sox for $26 million in May, a franchise record for an international signee. Robert began in the Dominican Summer League and impressed despite missing time with a few nagging injuries. The White Sox's top prospect, Eloy Jimenez, is farther along, but Robert's tools are just as impressive. He boasts a strong, lean frame at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. His swing is compact and simple, and he produces well above-average bat speed. He's got plus raw power and slugged three homers in limited time in the DSL. He does swing and miss on elevated fastballs, but it's not a huge ding on his record. Robert was rated as a 55-60-grade runner as an amateur, but he has gotten faster as he matured and now earns plus-plus grades for his speed. Defensively the White Sox believe Robert will be able to maintain enough speed and range to stay in center field long-term. If that doesn't work out, his bat will more than play in a corner. After spending the summer in the DSL mainly for tax purposes, Robert is likely to join a crowded outfield in high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018.
The Florida Gators produce pro-ready pitchers at a prodigious rate. Dunning is yet another example of the team's pitching proclivity. He was used as a valuable reliever by the Gators, but was long targeted by pro scouts as a quality starting pitching prospect--he made more starts in 2017 in pro ball than he made in three seasons at Florida. The White Sox targeted Dunning in the 2016 draft, but the Nationals took him at the end of the first round before they had a chance to grab him. Six months later, the White Sox acquired Dunning along with Reynaldo Lopez and Lucas Giolito for Adam Eaton from the Nationals. Dunning cruised through the Class A levels in his first full season, posting a combined 2.94 ERA. Dunning operates primarily with a sinker and a slider, and has a changeup as well. He sits in the low-to-mid-90s, peaking at 96 mph. When his delivery is clicking, Dunning features heavy sink and will coax hitters into beating the ball into the ground. He struggled at times to get out over his front side, which had a flattening effect on his stuff and resulted in an elevated--and out of character--home run rate at high Class A Winston-Salem. Dunning's slider and changeup, both thrown in the low-to-mid-80s, have above-average or plus potential. To maintain consistency and crispness on his pitches, the White Sox have stressed to Dunning the need to stay tall through his delivery. Dunning will likely join Alec Hansen atop a very talented rotation at Double-A Birmingham in 2018. With three quality pitches and a clean, repeatable delivery, he has a mid-rotation ceiling moving forward.
Collins earned a reputation as one of the best offensive catchers in the country at Miami and was drafted ninth overall by the White Sox in 2016. He signed for $3,380,600 and moved quickly in his first full season, reporting straight to high Class A Winston-Salem and finishing the year at Double-A Birmingham, posting a combined .816 OPS. Collins is divisive, but everybody sees his nearly unmatched batting eye and pole-to-pole power. It's an excellent starting point, but not everyone is convinced he'll hit for average, especially after he hit .224 in his debut year. Collins has a bat tip at the beginning of his swing, which diminishes his ability to get to hard fastballs. He re-tooled his swing in the instructional league, making it quieter to get in a better position to hit. Collins worked diligently on his defense throughout the season and needs to continue. He struggles with velocity and presents pitches poorly, turning strikes into balls. He's improved with blocking but has work to do with his agility. Collins' arm ranges from average to plus on throws to second, and improved footwork would make his arm play up. Collins will return to Double-A to start 2018 and continue working to improve his contact skills and defense. If it all comes together, he could be an offensive-minded everyday catcher.
Burger raked for three years at Missouri State and emerged as the top power prospect in the 2017 draft. He swatted 47 home runs his sophomore and junior seasons and while never batting below .328, earned a spot on the US Collegiate National Team and was First Team All-America as a junior. The White Sox jumped on Burger with the 11th overall pick and signed him for $3.7 million. Burger's power is prodigious, and his leadership-oriented makeup is legendary, but scouts have concerns about his body. At 6-foot-2 and a thick, bottom-heavy 210 pounds, Burger stayed in Arizona over the winter to have access to the White Sox's complex and work on his conditioning. Scouts see a solid-average hitter with above-average power potential, and the plate discipline to get to it in games as a pro. Burger's body opens the door for questions about his defense, but he's worked hard to improve his footwork and range to stay at third base. He has more than enough arm strength to stay at the position and the power to profile there long-term. He's a well below-average runner. Burger will head to high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018, where he'll get to show off his power in the hitter-friendly confines of BB&T Ballpark.
The Yankees were ecstatic Rutherford fell to them at No. 18 in the 2016 draft and signed him for $3.282 million. But after a middling start to his first full professional season at low Class A Charleston, the Yankees traded Rutherford in mid-July to the White Sox as the headliner of a four-player package for relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle and third baseman Todd Frazier. Rutherford's sweet lefthanded swing, disciplined approach and the sound the ball makes off his bat makes scouts believe he'll be an above-average hitter in the future, but questions about his power potential have yet to be answered, especially after he hit just two homers in his full-season debut. Rutherford is likely to move off of center field, so the emergence of power will be key to his profile as a big leaguer. Evaluators with both of his employers saw average power potential so long as he works to add muscle, which was one of his goals this season. Because of his below-average footspeed and arm, Rutherford is likely to settle into left field. Rutherford is likely to be part of a crowded outfield picture in high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018. He'll rotate between center and left field, and whether his power starts to play in games will be a key storyline.
The son of former Orioles slugger Larry Sheets, Gavin Sheets hit 11 home runs combined during his first two seasons at Wake Forest but erupted for 21 homers as a junior in 2017. His power burst carried the Demon Deacons to the Super Regionals, and the White Sox grabbed him with their second-round pick, No. 49 overall, and signed him for $2 million. After a long college season Sheets was a bit fatigued when he made his pro debut, mostly with low Class A Kannapolis, but still showed impressive hitting ability. Sheets has a leveraged swing with plus raw power, but evaluators note he will have to be more selective with pitches in the zone as a pro to find ways to do damage. He rarely chases out of the zone and posts promising strikeout-to-walk marks for a power hitter. Defensively, Sheets moves well for a big man and is a solid defender at first base with average range and an average throwing arm. Some scouts see Sheets as a hitter in the mold of a Lucas Duda at the highest level. He will move to high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018 and try to continue slugging in one of the better hitters' parks in the country.
Cease had Tommy John surgery as a senior in high school, but the Cubs saw enough in his younger years to draft him in the sixth round in 2014 and sign him for $1.5 million. After he spent a year recovering, Cease debuted in 2015 and was steadily moving up the Cubs system when he was traded to the White Sox in July with Eloy Jimenez, Matt Rose and Bryant Flete for Jose Quintana. Cease's best pitch is a hard, mid-90s fastball that reaches 98 mph and has tickled triple-digits in the past. It's elite velocity plays up with sink as well. Cease couples his fastball with a hard, 12-to-6 curveball that he uses to get swings-and-misses, and projects as a plus pitch. His changeup has made progress, but it's still a distant third pitch. Cease's below-average command and control have improved some, but he still walked 4.2 batters-per-nine innings across the Class A levels the past year. There's some thought, because of his two dominant pitches, Cease might have more success as a high-leverage reliever. It's too early for that move now and the White Sox will continue developing him as a starter. Cease will head high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018. His main goals will be to sharpen his command and improve his secondary pitches.
Burdi was one of the country's most dominant closers at Louisville, racking up 83 strikeouts in 70 collegiate innings and recording 20 career saves. The White Sox drafted him 26th overall in 2016 and signed him for $2,128,500. Burdi spent all but 22 innings of his pro career at Triple-A Charlotte, but his 2017 ended at midseason after he had Tommy John surgery. His brother Nick, a reliever in the Twins system, also went down with Tommy John surgery during the year. When healthy, Burdi brings elite heat with a 98-102 mph fastball featuring with intense riding action borne of a high spin rate. He goes for strikeouts with his 86-89 mph slider, which can be inconsistent but projects as a plus pitch at its best. Burdi has a tendency to get quick in his delivery and get off line to home plate, leading to below-average command. Burdi's stuff is that of a long-time closer, but he's been used just once in his pro career in back-to-back games, and he got shellacked in the second outing. There's also a chance the White Sox could utilize him as multi-inning "relief ace." Burdi is rehabbing from surgery and could return late in 2018.
When the White Sox zeroed in on Adams in 2014, they saw an athletic pitcher with plenty of projectability. He starred as a basketball player in Georgia, and touched has high as 96 mph as an amateur. That was enough for the White Sox to take him in the second round and sign him for nearly $1.3 million. Adams' velocity has taken a step back since he turned pro. He presently sits more in the 89-92 mph range with the fastball, albeit with above-average sink. He pairs his fastball with a slider that flashes above-average potential at its best, but sometimes morphs into a slurvier offering. The White Sox worked with Adams in 2017 at Double-A Birmingham to make that pitch more consistently crisp. His changeup has average potential, but needs to take a step forward with its consistency. Adams is a quick worker on the mound and is lauded for his willingness to attack the strike zone. He doesn't strike out a ton of hitters, but he doesn't walk many either. Adams projects as a back-end type of starter with plenty of pitchability, though that could change if he matures physically and develops more velocity. He's slated for Triple-A Charlotte in 2018.
Fulmer's highly successful college career at Vanderbilt included a College World Series championship in 2014 and First Team All-America selection in 2015. The White Sox used their first-round pick on him in 2015 and put him on a fast track to the major leagues. He made his big league debut on July 17, 2016, barely 13 months after he was drafted. It's been a rocky road since then for Fulmer, who was used as both a reliever and a starter in the big leagues but pitched exclusively out of the rotation at Triple-A Charlotte in 2017. He's toned down his high-effort delivery since he turned pro, including reducing his hand pump and eliminating a stab in the back of his motion. It's still rushed, but less so than it was at Vanderbilt. Fulmer's fastball sat between 89-93 mph in 2017 with Charlotte, and he mixed in a heavy dose of cutters as well. He also showed an inconsistent but promising curveball and a below-average changeup. Fulmer still has a chance to find a spot at the back of a rotation, but there's a better chance he winds up as a middle reliever. He'll have a chance to earn a place with the big club in spring training, but he could wind up back at Charlotte to start 2018.
Brendan McKay was the headliner as far as college two-way players went in 2017, but Gonzalez deserved mention as well. Born in Sonora, Mexico, Gonzalez's pitching stats didn't jump off the page, but he started 22 games over three seasons at New Mexico and hit .361/.500/.589 in his junior year. The industry much preferred Gonzalez as an outfielder, and the White Sox took him in the third round and signed him for $517,000. Though he was a little tired after his college season, Gonzalez made it to low Class A Kannapolis in his first try as a pro and immediately showed contact ability and strike-zone discipline. There are questions about Gonzalez's long-term power potential, though, the answer to which will determe his ceiling. The White Sox believe he'll have average to slightly better power. He's got enough speed and range to play center field, but he's likely to move around the outfield in 2018. His throwing arm is plus. Gonzalez will start 2018 at either Kannapolis or at high Class A Winston-Salem, and his power output will be important to keep an eye on.
Puckett, who was drafted by the Royals in the second round in 2016 and signed for $1.2 million, is lucky to be alive. He was placed in a medically-induced coma after a serious car accident in high school, which left him with plates in his head after surgery to repair a skull fracture. He was dealt to the White Sox at the 2017 trade deadline--along with lefthander Andre Davis--in exchange for outfielder Melky Cabrera. Puckett missed time after the trade with a lat injury, but when he was on the mound showed the makings of a potential back-end starter with pitchability. Puckett's fastball typically parks in the 89-92 mph range and can either run or cut. He backs it up with a potentially plus changeup in the high-70s he throws with enough conviction to deceive hitters. He also throws a downer curveball in the 73-79 mph range that has improved since his early days in the Royals system. Some scouts see a little bit more projection and velocity to come from Puckett, which would help improve his ceiling. He should start 2018 at either high Class A Winston-Salem or Double-A Birmingham.
Stephens stood out his sophomore year at Rice but had Tommy John surgery his junior year and took a medical redshirt. He rebounded the following year and the White Sox drafted him in the fifth round and signed him for $300,000. Stephens struck out a system-best 155 hitters in 141 innings in his first full year as a pro in 2016. Stephens' stuff and results in 2017 at Double-A Birmingham were solid but not spectacular. Stephens typically sits in the low 90s with his four-seam fastball but can bump the mid-90s on his best days. His fastball isn't particularly lively, so he added a cutter in the high-80s to his arsenal. His primary offspeed pitch is an 11-to-5 curveball with average potential. He needs more consistency with it, as it was sometimes loopy out of his hand instead of the better, tighter offering. His sparsely-thrown changeup is below-average. Some in the White Sox's organization believe Stephens' stuff might play better out of the pen, but he'll head to Triple-A Charlotte in 2018 as a starter to see if he can find more consistency.
Adolfo, then known as Micker Zapata, ranked as one of the top international prospects in 2013 and received a $1.6 million bonus from the White Sox. After a few years of tantalizing tools with little production, Adolfo made strides with improved plate discipline and improved hitting mechanics in 2017 at low Class A Kannapolis, but his season ended in late August after he fractured his hand punching a wall. Adolfo's improvements in the box yielded an OPS 125 points better than his previous career-high, and his 16 home runs were good for third in the South Atlantic League. He also managed to mostly banish the injury bug. He played in a career-high 112 games, besting his previous career-high of 69, before his self-inflicted, season-ending injury. Adolfo has power potential, but he needs to improve his plate discipline further and better determine which pitches he can drive and which will result in weak contact. Adolfo's an average defender in right field with average range and a plus-plus arm that draws a few "80" grades on the 20-80 scouting scale. He turns in run times that are average or a tick better. Adolfo should graduate to high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018.
For a time, both Basabe and his identical twin brother Luis Alejandro Basabe were part of the Red Sox system. Luis Alejandro Basabe was dealt to the Diamondbacks for reliever Brad Ziegler in 2016, and Luis Alexander Basabe was shipped to the White Sox as part of the deal that brought ace Chris Sale to Boston. At his best, Basabe's believers see a player with a chance to impact the game offensively and defensively. Problem was, Basabe was nowhere near his best for most of 2017. He hit .221/.320/.320 as he battled knee injuries all year. Eventually he had season-ending surgery to repair a torn left mensicus in August. When he was healthy, Basabe worked with the White Sox to become more consistent at the plate. In particular, they were adjusting his bat path to allow him to make more contact. Basabe has above-average to plus range in the outfield, and a strong throwing arm that could allow him to play in a corner if needed. Basabe is expected to be ready in time for spring training and should return to high Class A Winston-Salem in 2018.
Louisville used Henzman in a setup role for two seasons before moving him into the closer role in 2017, replacing White Sox organization-mate Zack Burdi. Henzman went 3-0, 1.67 with 16 saves for a Cardinals club that made it to the College World Series, and the White Sox loaded up on Louisville players in the draft, taking Henzman as well as teammates Kade McClure and Logan Taylor. Henzman signed for $450,000 in the fourth round a year after turning down the Mariners in the 31st round. The White Sox plan to convert Henzman into a starter because he has three pitches, and he made nine starts at Rookie-level Great Falls after signing. Henzman starts his arsenal with a heavy low-to-mid-90s fastball and couples it with an average slider with varying bite in the mid-80s. His slider has flashed plus at its best. He's also got a split-type changeup as his third pitch with average potential. Because of his age and college pedigree, Henzman should begin 2018 in the rotation at low Class A Kannapolis.
When the Mariners signed Vieira in 2010 as a 17-year-old for just $65,000, they saw a raw arm with the potential to light up radar guns as he matured. They were, in a word, right. Vieira became a must-see minor league who lit up radar guns as high as 104 mph and made his major league debut in August. The Mariners dealt him to the White Sox after the season in exchange for international slot money to help the Seattle's unsuccessful pursuit of Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Vierira, along with Michael Kopech and Zack Burdi, is part of a trio of White Sox prospects who have touched at least 102 mph with their fastballs. He couples the pitch, which typically sits in the 98-100 mph range, with a fringe-average slider and a developing changeup in the low-90s. He's also working on a split-fingered fastball. If that takes, he could quickly become a back-end of the bullpen stalwart. Vieira, who has an effortful delivery, still needs to improve his command to up his odds of finding a spot as a high-leverage bullpen arm. He's likely to head to Triple-A Charlotte to begin the 2018 season.
After Call hit .353/.425/.530 in three seasons at Ball State, the White Sox took him in the third round of the 2016 draft and signed him for $719,100. His first full season was limited to 38 games at low Class A Kannapolis (and another 13 rehabbing in the Rookie-level Arizona League) because of an intercostal strain and a small fracture to one of his ribs. To make up for lost time he participated in fall instructional league in both Arizona and in the Dominican Republic. Call is a well-rounded player who doesn't have a plus tool, but doesn't have anything below-average, either. When healthy, Call's smooth swing allows him to hit for average with a little bit of power. He's a tick above-average runner, though he's slowed a little bit as he gained strength. He has average range in the outfield and an above-average arm, though those inside the organization believe he's likely to land in left field. It was a lost season for Call, who could get back on track with a strong year at high Class A Winston-Salem. Call projects as an extra outfielder in the majors but could be more if he hits like he always has.
Clarkin was the third of the Yankees' three first-round picks in the 2013 draft, and was traded to the White Sox in the middle of 2017 as part of the package that sent third baseman Todd Frazier and relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to New York. To this point, Clarkin's career has been stuttered by injuries. He missed all of 2015 with elbow inflammation before finally getting on the mound in the Arizona Fall League. He dealt with an oblique injury when he changed teams and missed a month after making his White Sox debut at high Class A Winston-Salem. Back at instructs, Clarkin showed a four-pitch mix fronted by an 86-88 mph fastball with tail and sink. He backed it with a potential plus curveball in the mid-70s, an average slider in the low-80s and a below-average changeup in the mid-80s. White Sox personnel note how driven he is off the field and how vocal he is about wanting to be part of the team's rebuild. Clarkin largely projects to end up in situational relief role with his poor health track record and a curveball that will play against lefties.
Hamilton relieved at Washington State his first two seasons before moving to the rotation in 2016. He was middling at best as a starter with the Cougars, and his stuff and his results backed up significantly. But the White Sox saw plenty of Hamilton out of the bullpen for the Cape Cod League's Wareham Gatemen in the summer of 2015 and believed in him enough as a reliever to take him with their 11th-round pick. Hamilton has been a reliever only in pro ball and experienced quick success, reaching Double-A in his first full season. Hamilton's fastball hovers in the upper-90s and has touched 99 mph. He's also got a plus slider that works in the low-90s and gets swings-and-misses, as well as changeup that could be average in the future. He uses a high-effort delivery and is aggressive attacking the strike zone. The White Sox have encouraged Hamilton to continue to throw his changeup more often to help hasten its development. Hamilton was roughed up toward the end of 2017 at Double-A Birmingham, and he'll return there to begin 2018.
A near-exclusive reliever at South Carolina, Johnson was taken in the fifth round in 2017 and signed to $390,000 bonus because of his supreme arm strength. Johnson dealt with injuries in college, including a stress reaction in his humerus and inflammation in his biceps and triceps. Johnson baffled hitters in the Southeastern Conference with a fastball that sat in the 95-98 mph range and touched triple-digits on occasion. That velocity, plus downhill angle and armside life, helped him strike out 107 hitters in 86 innings for the Gamecocks. He's found the sledding a little bit tougher in pro ball, where he'll need to improve his mechanics and sharpen his offspeed pitches. The White Sox would like to see Johnson stay on line longer through his delivery and would also like to see him improve his slider, which is a below-average pitch right now. He needs to throw that pitch with more conviction moving forward and currently, his changeup is ahead of his slider. Johnson should return to low Class A Kannapolis in 2018, and if everything goes well could become a fast-moving reliever.
When the White Sox drafted Guerrero in 2012, they saw a lefthander with present average fastball velocity as well as a feel for a pair of secondary pitches. His career stalled early after shoulder problems limited him to just 25 innings in 2012 and 2013. He was eased into the rotation toward the end of 2014 at low Class A Kannapolis, then became a full-time rotation piece upon his return there in 2015. Guerrero spent the last two seasons at Double-A Birmingham, where he's struggled to overcome command issues. Guerrero cut his walks roughly in half from 2016 to 2017, but the White Sox would like to see further improvement. That's particularly true when it comes to repeating his arm slot. He brings his fastball between 91-93 mph and has touched 94. He backs it with a plus changeup, but needs to continue to improve his fringy curveball and slider. The White Sox also noted an improved effort on Guerrero's part to be more physically prepared every time he took the mound. Guerrero was left off the 40-man roster and was not picked in the Rule 5 draft, an indicator of how he has further work to do to be big league ready. He'll turn 24 this year and will likely move up to Triple-A Charlotte.
Just as his stock was rising at Southern California, Flores lost the strike zone in his junior year and saw his ERA jump from 3.38 to 6.70. Nevertheless, the White Sox liked the ease with which his left arm produced low-to-mid 90s fastballs and popped him in the seventh round. He performed well at low Class A Kannapolis in 2017 to begin first full pro season, then jumped to high Class A Winston-Salem. His fastball took a step back this year, sitting in the 89-91 mph range as opposed to the version that had touched as high as 94 in the past. He paired it with an average changeup in the mid-70s and a below-average curveball in the 69-71 mph range. He's also added a cutter-slider hybrid to his mix, but that pitch is still in the developmental stages. Flores doesn't have a putaway pitch right now, but the White Sox are hoping his stuff will return once he adds enough strength to his frame to sustain a full-season's workload. Flores is likely to return to Winston-Salem in 2018.
Polo has been a traveling man the last couple of seasons. The Pirates traded him and lefthander Stephen Tarpley in the summer of 2016 to the Yankees in the deal that brought Ivan Nova to Pittsburgh. A year later, the Yankees sent him to the White Sox in the deal that sent Todd Frazier, Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson to New York. In between, Polo played for Team Colombia in the World Baseball Classic. At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, Polo possess a strong, compact build and enough power and speed to slash and burn his way around the bases. He's a well above-average runner whose speed is ranked by some as a 70 on the 20-to-80 scouting scale as well as an adept base stealer who was successful in 34 of 44 tries. That speed serves him well in the outfield, where he has enough range to play center field and enough arm to fit in either corner. Polo is an exciting player who has a ceiling of an extra outfielder with benefits on both sides of the ball. He's slated to return to Double-A Birmingham in 2018.
Sosa, who signed with the White Sox on July 2, 2016, was considered one of the best hitting shortstops out of Venezuela in that year's international class and received a $350,000 bonus. As an amateur, he showed coordination, bat-to-ball skills and a touch of gap power as well. The White Sox challenged Sosa by sending him to the Rookie-level Arizona League. He rewarded their confidence. Sosa has a simple, fluid swing that should allow him to continue to hit for average as he matures. Though evaluators believe he will eventually move off of shortstop as he gets bigger and stronger--they note he's already a below-average runner--he has above-average or better hands and average arm strength. If Sosa gains power he'll also profile better offensively at third. The White Sox may continue their aggressive path with Sosa and move him to low Class A Kannapolis as an 18-year-old at some point in 2018.
After hitting two home runs over his first two seasons at San Diego State, Zavala missed his junior year after having Tommy John surgery. He returned for his senior season as a left fielder and saw his power break out. He hit 14 home runs that year and was selected in the 12th round by the White Sox. As a pro, that theme seems to have repeated itself. After hitting just seven home runs in his first full season in 2016 at low Class A Kannapolis, Zavala tripled that total between both levels of A-ball in 2017. In fact, his 21 home runs were most in the White Sox system. The team worked with him to find a diet that helped him maintain strength throughout the course of the season, and he altered his swing path to get a higher launch angle. Combine the power with an all-fields approach and fringy but playable defensive ability with a fringe-average arm, a ceiling as a major league backup catcher starts to come into focus. Zavala will try to continue to get to his power at Double-A Birmingham in 2018.
After missing his freshman season at Cincinnati due to Tommy John surgery, Walsh became a part of the Bearcats' rotation the next two seasons. The White Sox have used him exclusively in relief in pro ball and he reached Triple-A Charlotte in 2017. Walsh's calling card is his premium arm strength, which allows him to pump fastballs consistently in the mid-to-upper 90s. He pairs the fastball with a mid-80s curveball that can be devastating when it's on. At its best it is a plus pitch that gets swings-and-misses. Those numbers dipped some during a stint at Triple-A toward the end of the year, and he got hammered in the Arizona Fall League. Walsh's command is well below average right now, but his raw stuff is still plenty intriguing. If he can smooth out his high-effort delivery and improve the command, he could find a spot as a big league reliever. Walsh will head back to Triple-A Charlotte in 2018.

Precocious post-rockers Forest Park have come far in a short time, despite weathering their fair share of adversity. Though impeded by injuries and member shakeups, the group has released a demo and an excellent three-song EP, held a great release event at Mississippi Studios, and developed a strong local following that includes some of Portland's best bands.
The quartet also turned in a stellar performance at one of the Banana Stand's last public events. All of this and I'm pretty sure some of them are still too young to drink. Crazy.
Raw talent and demonstrated perseverance make Forest Park an act to watch, and a group whose live album we're proud to maintain in our archive.
Forest Park – Live from the Banana Stand was recorded before a live audience on July 30th, 2011 at the Banana Stand in Portland, Oregon. The album was mixed and mastered by Chris Vita. Brian David Smith handled design and layout for album art, which includes original photography from various 'Standers and the original show poster, also by Brian. The Banana Stand would like to thank Forest Park (Katherine, Maya, Michael and Cyrus), all who participated in this album's creation and anyone that has helped us out along the way.

Apple could block Facebook apps from using VoIP in the background
The change could arrive with iOS 13 this fall
By Cohen Coberly on August 6, 2019, 18:42
In brief: Apple has always placed a much greater emphasis on user privacy than other companies in the tech industry, and that trend doesn't appear to be stopping anytime soon. New reports claim that the smartphone maker will block two Facebook-owned apps from running VOIP in the background on privacy grounds.
This block will be part of Apple's next big smartphone OS update, iOS 13, according to The Information. iOS 13 is expected to arrive sometime this fall, and it will be bringing a host of other features and improvements to the popular mobile OS (including a long-requested dark mode).
The primary reason for Apple's decision to block VOIP from functioning in the background relates to privacy fears, as hinted at before. Apple worries that apps like the Facebook-owned Messenger and WhatsApp could collect user data if they're allowed to run the protocol at all times.
Facebook, for its part, has distanced itself from this idea. "The changes to the upcoming iOS releases are not insignificant, but we are in conversations with Apple on how best to address. To be clear—we are using the PushKit VoIP API to deliver a world-class, private messaging experience, not for the purpose of collecting data," a company spokesman told The Information.
"To be clear—we are using the PushKit VoIP API to deliver a world-class, private messaging experience, not for the purpose of collecting data,"
Whether or not you take the company at its word is up to you. Of course, it is worth noting that this is far from the first time Facebook has tangled with privacy woes -- the social media giant's notorious Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal is still discussed to this day.
At any rate, as the company noted in the above quote, Facebook is currently talking with Apple to find a solution to the dilemma. Until that occurs, though, you may wish to delay updating to iOS 13 if the ability to run VOIP functionality in the background is important to you.

Immediately after admission, he developed right-sided focal convulsions which were controlled with intravenous midazolam.
On admission, the patient was afebrile with a blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg, a heart rate of 82 beats per minute and a respiratory rate of 24 per minute. Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry was 97% on room air, and a rapid assay for glucose was 96 mg/dl. Child was drowsy with a GCS scale of 10/15. Pupils were 2 mm bilaterally and reactive. Terminal neck stiffness was present. Rest of the CNS examination was normal.
Routine hemogram, blood gas and serum electrolytes were normal. A CT and lumbar puncture were performed in view of focal seizures and no improvement of sensorium after 4 hours of admission. CT was performed before lumbar puncture and showed ill-defined hypodensities (CT value 16-23 HU) in the subcortical white matter in the posterior parietal lobes bilaterally suggestive of encephalitis [Figure 1]. Lumbar puncture showed 40 cells/mm 3 , proteins were 48 mg/dl and glucose was 71 mg/dl with no organisms seen on gram stain. A chest X-ray revealed a small focal consolidation in the right lower zone. Nasopharyngeal aspirate specimen tested for H1N1 by RT-PCR tested positive. CSF was negative for H1N1 (by RT-PCR). CSF PCR for Herpes simplex virus was negative. Additional viruses such as enterovirus, varicella zoster, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus tests could not be done due to financial constraints. Broad spectrum IV antibiotic, oseltamivir and acyclovir treatment were initiated. EEG showed evidence of focal slowing and sharp activity from the left centroparietal region [Figure 2]. The sensorium improved after 48 h and there were no further seizures. The patient was given oseltamivir for five days. He was discharged after 10 days of hospitalization.
Figure 1 :CT brain showing ill-defi ned hypodensities in subcortical white matter in both parietal lobes.
Figure 2 :EEG showing focal slowing and sharp activity from the left centroparietal region.
Kimura et al divided influenza-related brain changes into five categories based on the MR imaging and CT findings: normal (category 1), diffuse involvement of the cerebral cortex (category 2), diffuse brain edema (category 3), symmetric involvement of the thalamus (category 4), and focal encephalitis (category 5). Our patient's CT findings are consistent with category 5 i.e. focal encephalitis. Lyon et al. reported CT and MR imaging findings in a 12-year-old girl infected with influenza A (H1N1) whose clinical course was complicated by acute necrotizing encephalopathy. The authors reported T2 hyperintensity and restricted diffusion in the thalami, cerebellar hemispheres and brain stem. Haktanir A. reported similar abnormalities and also bilateral perirolandic changes and diffuse meningeal enhancements.
Treatment of seasonal influenza in children with zanamivir and oseltamivir provided a more rapid resolution of symptoms and illness from 0.5 to 1.5 days.  No randomized, controlled studies have examined the antiviral treatment on influenza-related neurologic complications and it is not clear whether the treatment resulted in any clinical improvement or whether the neurologic symptoms were self-limited. Nonetheless, antiviral treatment should be initiated as soon as possible for any patient with neurologic symptoms related to H1N1 virus.
To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the first reported case of H1N1-related neurological manifestation from India. Clinicians should be alert to the potential for neurologic complications associated with H1N1.

All's Bad That Ends Badly
This series of articles in the Washington Post yesterday and today covers the battle that Shaoqiang and Qin Luo He have waged for the past seven years to recover their daughter, now named Anna Mae, from foster care. The Hes say they placed their daughter temporarily with the Bakers, a foster family from their church, but that the Bakers later refused to return custody of the child to the Hes.
So much is wrong here, and not just with foster care and adoption - the disadvantage our legal system places on immigrants (He was accused of sexual assault while a student at the University Memphis, and although acquitted, lost his scholarship and student stipend as a result); the cultural bias of the area in which the Hes lived; and, taking nothing away from the love I'm sure the Bakers felt for Anna Mae, their sense of entitlement to the child.
The first article quotes the ruling from the Tennessee Supreme Court, which should be applauded for stating this so clearly: "Financial advantage and affluent surroundings simply may not be a consideration in determining a custody dispute between a parent and a non-parent."
But the judge in Memphis who took away the He's parental rights in February 2004, suggesting their custody battle was simply a ploy to delay their deportation, needs serious reeducation. He is undoubtedly not alone in this need.
No winners here, especially Anna Mae. This transition will be hard for her, and I hope she receives the support and counseling she needs for as long as she needs it, here and in China when her family returns.

Very well stated, Margie. I read an article about this last night and was at a loss for words about how to articulate any coherent thoughts about the judgment; you've done that so well that I'm just going to provide a link here.
One thing that I hope people don't gloss over when they read about this -- it's not really about adoption after all. Anna Mae was never adopted by the Bakers; that was never the Hes intention.
Lori said…
We had a similar case to this end in tragedy in Indiana when I was there. Felix Chen was taken away from his mother because she tied his hands with a cotton bathrobe belt to prevent him from hitting himself due to pain from a kidney disorder. He was in foster care for almost four months and his mother wasn't allowed to speak with him in Chinese, which was the language he was most comfortable speaking. His mother noticed during her twice-weekly visits with him that he was weak, and on the day of his death he fainted during their meeting, but the supervisor failed to seek medical attention.
The government settled out of court with his parents over his death last year.
I'm generally a believer in our social welfare system, but stories like these are utterly disheartening.
(actually, reading the articles - I posted too quickly! - they're actually not very similar cases except at the level of cultural miscommunications and how they have radically changed the lives of the children involved - sorry about that)
Ryan said…
How heart breaking for everyone involved. Anna Mae is going to have her world turned upside down with her upcoming move to CHina. I can't even imagine what it will be like for her. Especially since she will be so far away from the Bakers. Wow. I'm sure the Bakers are devestated. I really feel for them. At the same time, I feel for the Hes who have tried so hard for so many years to get their baby girl back. Now that she's 8, it's going to be rough for them. I can't believe it took 7+ years for the situation to get resolved... crazy.
Thanks, Mom2One, for the link - and Ryan for the comment.
Lori, I actually see a similarity between the cases, which is the legal system's failure to properly serve speakers of other languages, whether they are immigrants or not.
One of the articles pointed out that the Hes were unable to visit regularly because they had had a dispute with the Bakers, the police were called in, and the Hes were told to leave the Baker premises. But in 2001 the Hes and Bakers got into an argument, the police were called and the Hes were ordered to leave the Baker home. Four months later, the Bakers filed an abandonment petition against the Hes. It appears on the surface at least that the Hes were in a catch 22 but didn't realize it. That, IMO, is a failure of the legal system, and really does draw a parallel with the case you mention.
So sad, really a mess.
Kathy said…
Frankly, The Bakers disgust me. And
Mr. Baker's last statement from the
link about "God protecting these
girls" makes me angry. They should
have returned the child to her parents in the first place. I just
can't stand it when people use the
name "God" to justify themselves.
Susan said…
Margie, you articulated so CALMLY what I was feeling, but my head was on the verge of exploding, I was so upset. You nailed it though.
I do not "feel" for the Bakers at all. They manipulated the system out of a sense of white supremacy, because they felt it was better to give the girl an "American" life than to think of letting her live with her own family.
And it makes me so sick to hear people talking about "the only parents she's ever known." Um, why WAS that? WHY are they they only parents she's ever known? Because the selfish Bakers never acknowledged her true parents, culture, language, country etc. The whole thing makes me so sick and sad.
It is adoption corruption at its very worst.
daughterof2women said…
I just hurt for that little girl who is an innocent victim in all of this and who will suffer the most. I think it is ridiculous that it took that long to resolve this. Seven years is a long time in a child's life.
paula o. said…
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
To think that the Bakers felt they actually had the right to make the decision not to return Anna Mae to her parents is beyond my comprehension.
Despite all of the injustices against him and his wife, for Mr. He to still show such respect for the Bakers for the benefit of his daughter, is truly the epitome of selflessness.
I feel that the right decision has finally come, but sadly - and especially so for Anna Mae - it has come much, much too late.
You're spot on about the sense of entitlement, Margie. This is NOT about the Bakers wants and needs.
The weak argument of "emotional upheaval" that the Bakers tried to plead in their attempt to keep a child that was not theirs could have all been avoided if they had kept Anna Mae's best interest in mind all along.
My heart goes out to Anna Mae and her parents.
zoe said…
Ditto, Paula.
I find it hard to feel for people who are reaping the emotional turmoil of the things they themselves knowingly sowed in such a calculating way. And I'm at a loss to understand how the courts let them get away with all of this. They should have had *no* rights to this child whatsoever, at any point in time.
What the Hes have lost can never be given back to them. :(
kim.kim said…
I have no sympathy for the Bakers.
Melissa said…
Wow, what a heart-wrenching story. Thanks for posting about it. I had seen it advertised that this case was to be discussed on Nancy Grace the other night, but was unable to stay awake to watch it. I am apalled that these folks were allowed to keep that poor child as long as they did. What a betrayal to the Hes. My heart goes out to them (the Hes).
Just in case anyone is interested - I think that Nancy Grace episode might re-air on Saturday on CNN HN. Since I fell asleep, I have no idea what the take on it was.

Ancient Libya
Godsdiensten en culturen van Afrika
door Reader » wo 31 jan , 2007 18:36
Ancient Libya was the region west of the Nile Valley, the home of ancient Egyptian civilization. It corresponds to what is now generally called Northwest Africa. Its people were the ancestors of the modern Berbers[1].
In the Greek period the Berbers were known as "Libyans"[2] and their lands as "Libya" that extended from modern Morocco to the western borders of ancient Egypt. Modern Egypt contains the Siwa Oasis, historically part of Libya, where the Berber Siwi language is still spoken.
I- The name: Libya
The history of the name
The name Libya is found in the Ancient Egyptian-, Phoenician-, Greek-, Hebrew-, Latin- , Arabic and the modern European languages[3].
The oldest reference to this name goes back to Merenptah the Egyptian ruler of the 19th dynasty. He ruled in the second half of the 13th century BCE. The name was firstly mentioned as an ethnic name on the Merneptah Stele which is also known as the Israel's Stele:
[..]The vile chief of the Libu[4] who fled under cover of night alone without a feather on his head, his feet unshod, his wives seized before his very eyes, the meal for his food taken away, and without water in the water-skin to keep him alive; the faces of his brothers are savage to kill him, his captains fighting one against the other, their camps burnt and made into ashes ..[5].
After then, the name appeared repeatedly in the pharaonic records. It is therefore supposed that the origin of the name would be this Egyptian name for the ancient tribe Libu. According to this theory, this name would be taken over by the Greeks of Cyrenaica who may have co-existed with them[6]. Later, the name appeared in the Hebrew language written in the Bible as Lehabim and Lubim indicating the ethnic population and the geographic territory as well.
In the neo-Punic inscriptins it was written as Lby for the masculine noun and Lbt for the feminine noun of Libyan. The name was supposedly used as an ethnic name in those inscriptions.
The first reference to "Libya" in the Greek language is found in Homer's Odyssey (IX.95; XXIII.311). The name was used by Homer in a geographic sense, while he called its inhabitants Lotophagi meaning the "Lotus-eaters". After Homer, the name was used by Aeschylus, Pindar and other Ancient Greek writers. Herodotus used Libuwa indicating Libya while he called the Libyans Libyes in the Greek language. From his point of view, Libya was the name of the African continent, while "the Libyans" were the light-sikinned North Africans, whereas the southern Africans were known as "the Ethiopians" to him[7].
In Latin, the name would be taken over from the Greek- and the Punic language. The Romans would have know them befor their colonization for Northwest Africa, because of the Libyan role in the Punic wars against the Romans. The Romans used the name Libyes, but it referred only to Barca and the Western desert of Egypt. The other Libyan territories became known as Africa.
In the Arabic literature it was called Lubya indictating a speculative territory in west of Egypt. But today, this name is used as Libya in the modern languages.
The etymologic origin
When it comes to the chronical identification, it would be obvious that the Egyptian sources are the first known reference to the name, as libyan tribe inhabiting the west. But although, this is a significant data for the origin of the name, it would be hard to attribute its origin to any language.
Generally, there are many theories attributing the name to Berber- , Egyptian- , Phoenician-, Hebrew-, punic-, Greek-, Latin- and Arabic origins. However, the Berber and Egyptian sources are the most acceptable.
It has been questioned whether the name Libu was an Egyptian name for an ancient Berber tribe or it was the own name of the Berber tribe to refer to them selves whereafter the Ancient Egyptians have adopted it from them. An example of the first probability is the name Berber which is used to refer to the indeginous people of Northwest Africa, whereas they call themselves "Imazighen".
In fact, it would be a problematic essay to give a deciding answer because the Berbers didn't leave any considerable written sources. However, some prominent historians tried to trace the name to a Berber origin. The supporters of the Berber origin believe that the name was related to an ancient Berber tribe. The name Libu would have know many evolution from "Lebu" to "Libya" to "Lebata" to "Levata" to "Lvata" to "Lwatae".
Lwatae (the tribe of Ibn Battuta[8]) as it was called by the Arabs was a Berber tribe that was mainly situated in Cyrenaica, but this tribe seemed to have stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to modern Libya. This tribe was referred by Corippius as Laguatan and it was associated by him with the Maures. Ibn Khaldun tells on this tribe in the thirth chapter of The History of Ibn Khaldun that Luwa was their ancestor, and the Berber do add an "A" and "T" to the name. Subsquently, it became Lwat, but the Arabs adopted it in a singular form adding a "H" for the plural form in Arabic. Ibn Khaldun goes furthermore denying the claim of Ibn Hazam who maybe singifically claimed on the basis of the Berber sources that Lwatah in addition to Sadrata and Mzata were from the Qibts (Egyptians). According to Ibn Khaldun his claim is incorrect because ibn Hazm didn't read the books of the Berber scholars concerning this subject[9].
Oric Bates is one of those Historians who believe that the name Libu or LBW would be derived from the name Luwatah. He wrote in the page 57 as a note in his informative book The Eastern Libyans that the name Liwata is a derivation of the name Libu. Other historians like the Libyan historian Mohammed Moustapha Bazam tend to confirm this theory.
II- Ancient Libya
The sources
Compared with the History of Egypt, there is a little known on the History of Libya. Because the Ancient Libyans didn't leave written sources. The libyco-Berber script (also known as Tifinagh) that was used in Libya was mostly used as funerary script. Moreover, the experts are confronted with many diffeculties to decipher it. The script has it variations, like the modern Berberlanguage variations which would be different from its ancient forms.
Generally, there are two main sources on the history of Ancient Libya: The archeologic- and historic sources written by their eastern Egyptian neighbours and the Northern people who were the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Byzantines in the addition to the Arabs from the Medieval times.
(Map of Herodotus)
From an ethincal point of view, Libya would be the geographic territory inhabited by the Libyans. Nevertheless, there is no certitude about the boundaries of Ancient Libya. It was to the west of Ancient Egypt, and it was known as "IMNT" to the Ancient Egyptians like it was referred to with a feather which the Libyans used as an ornament. However, Libya it was mostly unknown to the Egyptians. Oric Bates tells here about that Libya was an unknown territory to the Egyptians, it was the lands of the spirits.
To the Ancient Greeks, Libya was one of the three known continents besides, Asia and Europe. In this sense, Libya was the whole African continent to the west of the Nile Valley. But Herodotus distinguished the authochone inhabitants into two people: The libyans in North Africa and the Etheopians in the south. According to Herodtus, Libya begins from where the western borders of Ancient Egypt, and ends in Cape Spartel in the south of Tangier on the Atlantic coast. This region was inhabited by the ancestors of the modern Berbers.
III- Ancient Libyans
(Ancient Libyan from the pharohonic remains)
The ancietn Libyans were the inhabitant of North Africa to the west of Ancient Egypt. Those inhabitants had various tribal names. They were mentioned by the Ancient Egyptian-, Ancient Greek, Roman and Arab sources.
Egyptian sources
The Ancient Egyptians mentioned many Libyan tribes. The most known tribes on the basis of the Egyptian Archeologic sources are respectively: The Tjehenu, the Tamahu, the Libu (or Ribu), Meshwesh. Those tribes were the most important Libyan tribes in the Egyptian sources. However, other less important tribes (or minor groups) were mentioned in the Egyptian sources.
Later sources
After the Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines mentioned other various tribes. The late tribal names are different from the Egyptian ones. But it is supposed that some tribes were named in the Egyptian sources and the later ones as well. The Meshwesh-tribe is an example for this assumption. The scholars believe it would be the same tribe called Mazyes by Hektaios and Maxyes by Herodotus, while it was called as "Mazaces" and "Mazax" in the Latin sources. All those names are somehow similar to the name used by the Berbers themselves Imazighen[10].
The sources of the late period gave more detailed descriptions for Libya and its inhabitants. Herodotus is the most notable ancient historian who tried to cover Libya and the Libyans in his fourth book, which is known as "The Libyan Book". In addition to him, Pliny the Elder, Diodorus Siculus and Procopius are considered the basic sources on Ancient Libya and the Libyans. But Ibn Khaldun, who dedicated the main part of his book Kitab el'ibar, which is known as "The history of the Berbers", didn't use the names: "Libya" and "Libyans" in his works. He used instead Arabic names: "The Old Maghreb" (El-Maghrib el-Qadim) and "The Berbers" (El-Barbar or El-Barabera(h)).
Unlike Ibn Khaldun who distinguished the Berbers into the Batr and the Baranis[11], Herodotus divided them into Eastern Libyans and Western Libyans. The Easten Libyans where the nomadic Libyans to the east of the Lake Tritonis. They lived as nomadic shepherds, while the Western Libyans who lived to the west of the Lake Tritonis where farmers who led sedentary life[12]. Both of Ibn Khaldun and Herodotus didn't distinguish the Libyans on the basis of their ethnic background, but according to their lifestyles. The distinction of Herodotus was also followed by the modern Historians, like Oric Bates in his book "The Eastern Libyans". Some other historians used the modern name of the Berbers in their works like the Frensh historian Gabriel Camps[13].
The Libyan tribes mentioned in those sources were: "Adyrmachidae", "Giligamae", "Asbystae", "Marmaridae", "Auschisae", "Nasamones", "Macae", "Lotus-eaters (or Lotophagi)", "Garamantes", "Gaetulians", "Maures(Berbers)", "Luwatae" and still many other tribes.

[...]Under this section on agricultural products, it is fitting to indicate here why prominent "Libyans" were often depicted as "princes." Some scholars have mentioned that they were so named because of their magnificent attire. Their name, as we have seen, was "Hatiu-a'a" ("a'a" being an appellation reserved for masculine identity, "men.") "Hatiua-aa" has been translated as "First Princes of Egypt." A search for other possible related terminology yielded the name for agricultural domain or "Hatiy," which also was used for "Olive plantation." "Hatiaa" were therefore, without a doubt, the wealthy heads of agricultural plantaions from the westers oases.
Imazighen were also described as "The shining Ones" or "Tehenu," represented as warriors bearing ithyphallic shields or ithyphallic warriors. The Egyptian term for "Phallus" was "hennen." However, in hieroglyphic religious texts, the phallus was coded as "The Shining One. with a moveable head." We have remarked earlier that this appellation might have referred, in ritual semanties, to the representation of archaic hunters with animal masks. When the defunct declared in funerary texts: "I am Penti,"(Pi-entiu or Pi-intiu meant the House of the First people, and we have seen that "Intiu" were the First people of the Pillars) he added: "I am the heir of of the Great Gods ... Hail Phallus." The expression, "The souls of Pi" has been rendered as "the founders of the nation," and referred to the pre-dynastic kings of Lower Egypt thought to have become celestial beings (Margaret Buson, Dictionary of Ancient Egypt.)"

Hier is wikipedia over de merneptah stele:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merneptah_Stele
Er staat een afbeelding op hoe de Lybiers met hieroglyphen zijn weergegeven:
Libiers (Tje()enu worden beschreven door determinatieven: vreemdeling + mensen + vreemd land (=land waar de Lybische mensen wonen)
Nog dit over de 'Libu':
De Libu (of Ribou) was een stam van oude Libiers, die voor het eerst werden genoemd in oude Egyptische teksten uit het Nieuwe Rijk, met name uit de Ramessidische periode. De naam van deze stam was door de Grieken opgenomen om naar 'Libya' en de bewoners hiervan te verwijzen, alsmede voor noord-Afrika in het algemeen.

Wat nieuw voor mij is de vereenzelviging van "Libu" met "Lwata":
" The supporters of the Berber origin believe that the name was related to an ancient Berber tribe. The name Libu would have know many evolution from "Lebu" to "Libya" to "Lebata" to "Levata" to "Lvata" to "Lwatae". "

I have no doubt that Brett Favre didn't intend to hurt Eugene Wilson. I don't think that notion is incompatible with the fact that it was a dirty play. Say the word: Dirty.
As if Brett Favre could engender any more hostility from fans (at least the ones outside of Minneapolis, where the fans are single-handedly propping up NFLShop.com buying Favre jerseys), he went for Wilson's knees. I believe he knew what he was doing, even if he had no intention of actually hurting Wilson.
It's a good Tuesday morning when you can wake up and take a shot at Favre, like I did in today's SN column. By tomorrow, we'll all have moved on. For today, it's the big story.

My quest to lead my fantasy baseball team from perennial cellar-dwelling to the playoffs in a very competitive 16-team league -- I am right on the cusp -- took a hit last week, but I drafted Adam Lind and have enjoyed his breakthrough all season long. As it looks like I will just miss the playoffs, yesterday was like his victory lap for me -- 2 HR, 8 RBI -- and I wanted to tip my cap to him for his service to my team.

Corrective Exercises - Whether you're recuperating from an injury, coming back from surgery or combating a chronic musculoskeletal problem, corrective exercises can help you regain and enhance your health, strength, and flexibility. Personalized exercise programs make a great complement to chiropractic adjustment and other natural treatments.
Physiotherapy - Soft tissue pain, stiffness, and injuries can respond beautifully to the right mix of physiotherapy techniques. Our Sacramento chiropractor can combine physiotherapy with corrective exercises and spinal adjustments to provide you with drug-free pain relief and optimal healing.
Nutritional Counseling - Your body requires sensible servings of the right raw materials to heal itself and keep itself well. We can analyze your eating habits and prescribe smart changes to help you improve your health and avoid issues such as obesity-related joint pain or diabetes.
Lifestyle Advice - Our clinic provides advice on optimizing your sleep, activity and personal lifestyle habits. We even offer personalized Chiropractic Lifestyle Plans to address specific needs, challenges and goals.
