  Recently, it was argued that the log(z)-m_{v} plot of 106,000 AGN galaxies
could be interpreted as an evolutionary path followed by local AGN galaxies as
they age. It was suggested that these objects are born as quasars with a high
intrinsic redshift component that decreases with time. When the intrinsic
component is large it causes them to be pushed above the standard candle line
for brightest radio galaxies on a log(z)-m_{v} plot. In the jets of radio loud
AGN galaxies, Beta_(app) is the apparent transverse velocity of the ejected
material relative to the speed of light. In the cosmological redshift (CR)
model the Beta_(app) vs z distribution has a peculiar shape, and there have
been several attempts to explain it. In agreement with the model proposed to
explain the log(z)-m_{v} plot, it is shown here that the peculiar shape of the
Beta_(app)-z distribution in the CR model is exactly what is expected if the
sources are local but their large intrinsic redshifts are assumed to be
cosmological in the calculation of Beta_(app). This result not only supports
our previous interpretation of the log(z)-m_{v} plot, it further implies that
if a large component of the redshift is intrinsic a similar effect should be
visible when other parameters are plotted vs z. Examining this it is also found
that the results are consistent with the local model.
