Jets' Kris Jenkins leaves ACL tear, stress behind him
CORTLAND, N.Y. — Riding on a Bobcat vehicle across the track at SUNY Cortland last week and handling the corners as if he were at nearby Watkins Glen, a grinning Kris Jenkins appeared to be a man without a care.
And in this case, what you saw is what you got.
Jenkins said Thursday that he is "stress-free. ... I come out, I do my job. It doesn't seem like it's a pain anymore to get out on the field to do training camp. We have great coaches out here to take care of us. I can't complain about anything here. I have everything that I need."
The Jets' veteran nose tackle has reached this Zen state after getting past an injury last season that could have been career-ending. On Oct. 18 against Buffalo, he sustained a torn ACL in his left knee and had season-ending surgery shortly thereafter. But Jenkins' rehab went well, even though he wasn't sure he wanted to return until he spoke with his family.
"It was actually pretty quick," said Jenkins, who has three sons, Kris Jr., Marcus and Jesse. "[I said], 'What do you all think about me getting back out on the field?' My wife [Tashia] said, 'Look, I think you still have a lot of football in you. I don't think you're ready to leave the game yet. Bye.' It was relatively quick. I talked to my father [and] it was the same thing. Those are the two people that I really confide in.
"Then on top of that, [there was] 'Super Jerry Maguire,' who's been my agent the whole time that I've been in this game, Tony Paige," Jenkins continued. "Tony has always been with me, every step of the way. If it wasn't for Tony then I probably wouldn't be in the game at this point."
Jenkins also is lighter than he has been in the past, currently weighing 359 pounds. The Jets still had the top-ranked defense in the NFL without his services for the last 10 regular-season games.
"The fact that he's got his weight down, I think that's really a positive," coach Rex Ryan said. "He's feeling good about himself. He's able to move. He looks like a young guy out there. In fact, I think he's better this year than he was last year."
Jenkins began practicing on the fourth day of camp after recovering from a minor hamstring problem. Doctors had used tendon from his left hamstring to graft onto the ligament repair, because Jenkins didn't want to use a graft from a cadaver, saying earlier in camp, "I don't do dead people."
But the 10th-year veteran certainly is aware of his own NFL mortality.

As we approach a likely May 21, 2013 election, the City has set up this page to provide the public ongoing information about the City's financial obstacles, offer opportunities for public input and to track the progress of proposed solutions.

Shortly the City will cease posting to this site to avoid any appearance that City resources are being dedicated to taking a position on the upcoming May 21st bond measure election. Please note that there is at least one political action committee as of this writing that is actively providing information on the measure. The City Manager and other City staff remain available to answer questions regarding the election. The City Manager can be reached directly at (503) 837-1171 or at clyne [dot] david [at] ci [dot] independence [dot] or [dot] us.
This morning, the City Council officially approved the resolution referring the bond measure to the ballot for voter approval on May 21st. Please continue to explore this website to learn more about the issues surrounding the bond measure, what it will do, and why the council believes it is necessary. To see the full resolution and proposed ballot measure, please go to the City Elections page. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask via the "contact us" link, or by contacting City Manager David Clyne directly at 503-837-1171 or clyne [dot] david [at] ci [dot] independence [dot] or [dot] us .
The Budget Committee has completed its work on identifying approximately $700,000 worth of priority cuts should the bond measure fail. They are shown on this link or as an attachment to this page below. Also, at the bottom of this page is a link to a recent Itemizer-Observer article on the budget cuts.
Outstanding news today! We completed the sale on two sewer borrowings and saved a total of over $240,000 over the life of the newly refinanced revenue bond. The savings in the next two years alone will be $171,000. The true interest cost to the City was 3.33%. We view this as one more step towards good financial health.
In other news, we have had held more information forums about the proposed General Obligation Bond Measure election. City representatives have to date made presentations in a general public forum, as well as before various groups; Airpark homeowners, the Rotary, Elks and Lions Clubs, Independence Downtown Association and Colonia Amistad residents. We are still planning more such presentation and would be happy to appear in front of any other groups or meet separately with individuals.
Attached below is a PowerPoint presentation that was made to the Budget Committee on January 29th as they began the hard work of determining the priorities for cut backs should the proposed bond measure fail.
It was reported that the Central School District just completed refinancing its General Obligation Bonds for a savings of over $780,000. This will be a direct savings off everyone's property tax bills.
On Tuesday, the Citizens Budget Committee met for the first time to consider setting priorities for service reductions should the proposed May bond election either not take place or fail to secure passage. The members listened to a presentation from the City Manager regarding the current challenges, options that were considered over the past year, the history of performance for the Urban Renewal District (see attachment below) and responses to many questions. On February 11th at 6PM, the Committee will meet again and begin the work of recommending service cut priorities. At this time, the target for reduction is approximately $700,000 from the budget.
We covered a lot of ground with our first forum at the Independence State Airport this past Monday. Lots of questions with an audience of about 30 - 40 people. We will are collecting questions from the evening to add to our Frequently Asked Questions and hope you will continue to check this site.
Go to the sidebar or the home page to find links to Finance Forums and other City events. We have added the January 26th public forum and several other finance forums coming up over the next weeks. Watch the calendar for more changes and more opportunities to voice your opinions.

Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building.

Secret Weapons: Technology, Science and the Race to Win World War II (General Military)
Author/Actors/Director/etc.: Brian J. Ford
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Osprey Publishing (2011, Sep 20th).
Pages: 304
Powerful illustrations and a unique new narrative make this an incomparable illustrated history of the secret weapons that changed the course of World War II. The book's basic structure is chronological, charting the race in technology between the Allied and Axis powers, with examples of their use in battle, along with those that remained experimental or remained the stuff of science fiction. Importantly (and of interest to the general reader) it also shows how wartime research anticipated the high-tech era in which we now live. The account charts secret weapons development from the Japanese ray gun of the 1930s to the powerful V2 rocket, and compares World War II secret weapons research with the realities of present-day science. It's a riveting story of innovation under pressure, from a world of machine guns and biplanes to electronics, rockets, and nuclear bombs with the power to wipe out humanity. more

The back pages of local newspapers and online classified pages reflects the overwhelming recruitment of women of colour to the sex industry
In his most recent hilarious gaffe — and yes, that's all it really is — the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada tweeted an invite to a fundraising event geared toward women.
If the world consisted of two groups — one that got into lifeboats and the other that swam — the choice was obvious
What interests women? Recipes, appearance, fitness, health, child issues, stress, 'having it all,' and celebrities
If women have switched off politics, maybe it is because that as the more perceptive gender, they realize politics is all pretty much the same no matter what party is in power.
To put it bluntly, some groups are counting on women to remain in the rabbit hole while they re-engineer society to their own image. This is why I emerged from the hole, a mother bear.
There is one group of women who certainly won't benefit from Laurel Broten's "comply or explain" plan — the competent female executives who are already in (or on their way to) senior positions in business.
The girl begged officers not to investigate: She knew what sort of backlash she'd have to endure from her rural Manitoba neighbours.
The idea of a women's wall suggests that women — even remarkable ones — couldn't find their place on a wall that honours remarkable citizens
Almost 50% of all FP500 public company boards have no female directors.
The impact of the story rested on the staggering number of nearly 600 murdered and missing native women. Except it now appears that number might have been massively inflated
Don't be a guinea pig for theories devised with indifference to human nature.
Too often, these crimes are lumped in with ordinary domestic violence. But it's a very different — and more culturally-specific — form of cruelty.
In the event of separation, divorce or death, existing law does not protect the property and rights of wives living on reserves.
How an industrial psychologist, and mother of 12, revolutionized the way we cook and clean (despite not being able to cook herself).
The opening of an abortion clinic in Belfast brings Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the United Kingdom — but puts it at odds with the Irish Republic to the south. About 400 protesters gathered outside the Marie Stopes clinic, the first medical facility to offer abortions on the island of Ireland.
Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" remark has a life of its own, overshadowing any points he may have scored in the second presidential debate.
Women, by being more flexible and easier to educate, have taken many positions that were once predominantly male.
Ms. Mayer is not a great example of having it all, because having it all is a myth — for both genders.
Full Comment's Araminta Wordsworth brings you a daily round-up of quality punditry from across the globe. Today: After a bruising and divisive primary season, Republicans of all stripes are starting to line up behind Mitt Romney. Yes, behind the stinking-rich, white Mormon, with a past of distressing liberal policies and a present tendency to flip-flop. […]

President John F. Kennedy led our nation during a tumultuous period of violent backlash against the Civil Rights movement, and historian Carl M. Brauer argued that this era was the Second Reconstruction, a second attempt to make good on the promise of America, for all Americans, in the South as well as the North.
In January of 2013, we traveled to Durham, NC and met with Rev. Dr. William Barber — President of the North Carolina NAACP — to ask him why he thinks America is so divided today. He offered this historical framework, in which the America that twice elected President Obama is embroiled in a Third Reconstruction, with a similar, but less violent, political backlash:
In Rev. Dr. Barber's view, we are currently going through the third reconstruction. The first Reconstruction took place after the Civil War. Fusion politics — a governing coalition including Lincoln Republicans, freedmen and former slaves, and populists — made it possible for former slaves to become business, community, and political leaders. But fusion politics was snuffed out by a violent backlash, and replaced by Jim Crow laws that blocked African Americans from voting through poll taxes, impossible "tests," and terrorism.
In the 1960s, there was another attempt at reconstruction, better known as the Civil Rights Movement. The progress we made was met with another violent backlash, culminating in the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
Rev. Dr. Barber identifies the possibility of a third reconstruction, one that could actually succeed, with the launch of Barack Obama's campaign for president in 2008. Once again, this attempt at fusion politics has been met with a hateful backlash. The backlash against integration, equality, and trans-racial governing coalitions has, in all three instances, included attacks on voting rights of African Americans and other minorities. Rev. Barber believes that change is inevitable because of demographic shifts in America and the effectiveness of fusion politics.

Kwalitee Fails
Core metrics
These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or report us if they are false.
metric | remedy |
metayml conforms to known spec |
META.yml does not conform to any recognised META.yml Spec. Take a look at the META.yml Spec at http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html (for version 1.4) or http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.yml accordingly. |
has proper version |
The version number isn't a number. It probably contains letter besides a leading 'v', which it shouldn't Remove all letters from the version number. If you want to mark a release as a developer release, use the scheme 'Module-1.00_01' |
prereq matches use |
This distribution uses a module or a dist that's not listed as a prerequisite. List all used modules in META.yml requires |
package version matches dist version |
None of the package versions in this distribution matches the distribution version. Fix the version(s). |
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
metric | remedy |
metayml declares perl version |
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml. If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs. |
has tests in t dir |
This distribution contains either a file called 'test.pl' (the old test file) or is missing a directory called 't'. This indicates that it uses the old test mechanism or it has no test-suite. Add tests or move tests.pl to the t/ directory! |
use warnings |
This distribution does not 'use warnings;' in all of its modules. Note that this is not about that your modules actually warn when something bad happens. It's bad if nobody can tell if a module warns or not, without reading the source code of your favorite module that actually enforces warnings. In other words, it's bad if someone feels the need to add 'use warnings' to your modules. Add 'use warnings' to all modules (this will require perl > 5.6), or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens. |
is prereq |
This distribution is not required by another distribution by another author. Convince / force / bribe another CPAN author to use this distribution. |
no invalid versions |
This distribution has .pm files with an invalid version. Fix the version numbers so that version::is_lax($version) returns true. |
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
metric | remedy |
metayml has provides |
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml. Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build does this automatically for you. |
has separate license file |
This distribution does not have a LICENSE or LICENCE file in its root directory. This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later. |
easily repackageable by debian |
It is easy to repackage this module by Debian. Fix each one of the metrics this depends on. |

"Works with Win 7 as long as you download WinPCAP 4.12"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
Captures internet packets and allows you to monitor the sources. Color codes the packets as well. I read what the color codes mean, but I haven't had time to analyze exactly what the mean yet to figure out which requests I must block.
You must download WinPCAP 4.12 at http://www.winpcap.org for it to work with Windows 7. It comes with WinPCAP 3.1, but WinPCAP 3.1 is incompatible with Windows 7.
Oh, for anyone else who is interested, if you start a capture and it appears that you are not intercepting any internet traffic, go into the "Capture --> Options" and either check or uncheck the promiscuous mode. If you are still unable to capture packets, then go into "Capture --> Interfaces" and make sure that you are trying to capture packets from the correct interface (I had to do this last step because I wasn't capturing any packets initially). I also opened an internet radio station to make sure that packets were being exchanged.
*promiscuous* Sorry, misspelled. Easy thing to do : )

"Works fine with WIN 7"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
Still works with WIN7.
Works with WIN7 but you have to update WinCPAP manually.
I've used Airsnare since 2004. I tried installing it to WIN 7 and it didn't work and gave errors. Then, I upgraded WinCPAP to 4.12 (from WinCPAP.org) and it works fine again. Although the Airsnare installs WinCPAP, it is an older version. Since Airsnare hasn't been upgraded since 2006 (way before Vista and WIN7), you will need to download and install the WinCPAP upgrade that works with Vista and greater manually.
"Missec the part where it doesn't load on Win 7"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
None with Win 7
Doesn't work with Win 7
Version: AirSnare 1.5
none at this time.
When downloaded error message pops up and says missing components..
May be a bad link. Looking for alternate download site. -
"contains a virus"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
never got a chance to use it
contains the virus
found it with spyware doctor -
"does not work in my vista system"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
nothing to see
does not work
does not work
"Compatability problem with XP wireless."
Version: AirSnare 1.5
After first launch on ethereal the program will launch and work on Air Snare as well.
A few restarts later both programs fail to recognize the network card.
"Probably good for more advanced users, not me."
Version: AirSnare 1.5
scans quickly
I don't understand what the information is that it is showing me.
I rated this product as "good" because, I'm sure this product is good for people who understand more about IPs and MAC addresses, not me.
This program would open and scan quickly. However it would then throw up what seemed like ID numbers, which would be fine if I knew all the ID numbers for the machines allowed on my network, but I don't. It also seems to pick up any wireless router in range, and since I live in an apartment, there are quite a few.
The option for the program to talk to you is interesting, though the voice is really creepy and robotic, I could probably turn it off but haven't.
Like I said, it's probably fine for more advanced users, but it's not very intuitive for a beginner, someone who just wants to see what is on your own specific network. I don't care what's going on on other networks with other routers, I just want to watch over mine. -
"Nice free network monitor"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
It keeps track of your mac addresses, and lets you know if an unknown mac address tries to access your network.
Includes winpcap, ethereal, and airsnare. You must know all of your mac addresses to use this (computers, routers). Had to download a missing file from my puter to get it running, but after finding it on some dude's website, I got this thing working
Does what it says, but from what I understand, it's a lot of work for something someone can bypass by cloning one your mac addresses.
"says i am missing a file i have downloaded two times"
Version: AirSnare 1.5
i have not been able to run it
i keep downloading it and keeps telling me that i missing a file it wont work

Great modern looking table but bad construction! Inka from Laurel, MD I order this table to add into our foyer. Its really nice and sleek looking console table to take a chance on look fro this non busy area. Table arrived on time with all parts and pieces. Unfortunately one side legs were not leveled to other side after assembly. We managed to balance the table for now but its not at all build well to reuse after one move. All pieces are not tightly secured together after assembly as well. |
Price Value Lori from Seattle, WA– Verified Buyer For the price, you get a great design, decent instructions, and a rich color (think espresso). The photo and description is accurate. The veneer is quite thin, so take extra care to prevent scratches and chips. There are slight gaps in the finished product where the pieces do not exactly match, and places on the veneer where the finish is raw. It's not perfect but it's fine for our needs. |
sofa table preston from north carolina fit my couch with its height and everything. I measured my sofa before I purchased this to make sure the height was fitting and I was right. it looks fantastic and I couldn't be happier. the assembly did not take long at all. this table gets a lot of usage since its in the living room. |

Nice looking piece Louis from Mountain View, CA– Verified Buyer The piece was well packed and not that bad to assemble. You need to pay attention to what pieces show when assembled. The only let down is I was hoping that the piece would be finished 360, but the back shows bare particle board so I was forced to put it up against the wall. It's pretty basic, but nice looking. |
entry table kim from fairfield functionality- great size and good storage for keys pens notepad. We put the phone here too so it's easy access. the quality was better than expected and its sturdy for the time ive had it. assembly took about an hour. |

Honoring each and every step of this life-journey! Your photo reminds me of Central Park when I visited my daughter a year or two ago.
If Central Park is anything like Green Park, I'll have to make sure I get there one day!
Thank you!
The green is something that always amazes me about London. Its a huge city, yet it is so green (even beyond the parks).
Love that the tree branches form an archway over the sidewalk.
Me, too!
You should see how they arch over the roads in Camden. I may have to hunt down that picture!
It was a perfect afternoon (a bit chilly, but still wonderful). I can still hear the leaves rustling overhead.
I grew up in Northern Wisconsin, so every road was covered by a tree tunnel. I loved them as a child and I still do today.
I grew up in Northern Ohio. We didn't have tree tunnels everywhere, but over the years, one formed over our driveway. I always loved goinig up and down our driveway in the summer.
Oh, yes….it is the joys that make our paths so delightfully higglity-pigglity, and that draw us ever onward!
Those twists and turns are my favorite part as they are so much fun.
All that beautiful green… I'm so out of touch as a desert dweller. Gorgeous. I'm learning how to see other paths, slowly.
Just remember every path changes for a reason. You will find your footing!
Loved this poem!
That's a terrific shot … nice to be embedded in all that green!
Walking down that path was like being hugged by a tree.
lovely… I used to work minutes from Green Park. I spent many a happy lunch hour there!
I went there so many times! It's so much quieter than Hyde or St. James, but you're still right in the thick of things.
Thanks for the poem I wish we had green parks like this in Phx. "where it leads matter not"-filled with such philosophical wisdom-I like the next line-if we lose ourselves, we've lost the truth. Hindsight. Heartache.
I wish we had parks like that, too!
This one is all about letting go and trusting in the path we're on. It will lead where we're supposed to go!
Guess I have some serious trust issues then Maybe if the path wasn't pitted with so many potholes and poisonous critters. What happened to all the flowers and sunshine?
I have trust issues as well (mostly with people), but I've learned fate is a bit smarter than me.

It's cold and there might be some flurries, but at least it's only -7 this morning not -20. So I'm going to score this as a win for the kind residents of North Dakotaland.
For my academic readers, the balmy weather makes a nice end of the semester treat as classes give way to final exams, end of the year deadlines, and the hectic grading period at the end of the semester.
So as we count down the days to the end of the year, I offer some quick hits and varia to speed time along

It's cold this morning. On the other hand, the snow has stopped and we had a northern lights show last night. So the world is trying to make it up to us.
There is only one more week of classes, so the end is near. This weekend, I have some grading, some grant writing, and some cricket watching. If your weekend is similar, maybe you can make some time for some quick hits and varia?

It's double digits this morning and it rained yesterday. Maybe winter is holding off for a few more days. (It is still getting dark before 5:30 pm though, so for people who the short, cold, melancholy days of Fall, the short part is still working fine).
Don't worry. It is still Fall enough to enjoy a cup of hot coffee by the fire in Archaeology of the Mediterranean World Headquarters and to savor the sweet taste of quick hits and varia.

The slow slide from Fall into Winter seems to have accelerated this week in North Dakotaland. The mornings are below freezing and yesterday we enjoyed a short snow shower.
Soon, we will get to that place where we have to deliberately go outside and it becomes easier to relax, read, and write by the fire than the brave the elements. In the spirit of that transition, I offer a short list of quick hits and varia.
- R.I.P. Henry Boren. I never met the man, but his Roman Society (1977) was my first Roman history textbook in college. It opened up the world of antiquity to me in new ways.
- New Cyprian Broodbank: The Making of the Middle Sea (2013).
- A nice primer on how to use Stanford's ORBIS tool in the classroom.
- A cool article on Pontic Greek.

- The end of a Waffle House.

It is really Friday already? Sometimes it is a relief to get to Friday a little sooner than you expect. Other times it is a shock because you need extra days to get stuff done. The abrupt arrival of this Friday is somewhere between these two positions. I'm glad that I survived another week, but also wish I had one more day to be productive.
You will be all relieved to know that I did find time to compile a little list of quick hits and varia for your enjoyment. So all was not lost!
Before the normal list and so it doesn't get lost, we should all do what we can to support the National Endowment of the Humanities.
- It's always good to read what Dimitri Nakassis is writing especially when it involves Iron Age objects, agency, and Homer.
- A map of women members of the American Schools of Oriental Research.
- Byzantium from Greece at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
- And here's what's going on at this week's Byzantine Studies Conference in New Haven (pdf).
- Using archaeology to write history.
- Love is all you need.
- Be sure to check out yesterday's 3D Thursday!! (And the entire series of posts by a stellar group of scholars!)
- Joanna Kakissis (of NPR and formerly of Williston) on the struggles of the Roma in Greece.
- Flying through 17th century London.
- The plight of Aleppo.
- David Pettegrew on the Barrington Atlas coming to iPads.
- The oldest house in Athens.
- More Zahi Hawass scandal this time involving National Geographic.
- A realtime simulation map of births and deaths around the world.
- More on inequality in American academia.

- And problems with peer review.
- If you miss your classic Mac and need yourself some MacPaint.
- Quitting baseball to write.
- Some great musings on life as a Fullbrighter in the UK.
- A couple Bakken notes: the joys of winterizing one's R.V. and a class-action lawsuit against 10 companies who flared natural gas.
- William Burroughs and his hatchet-made jack-o'-lantern.
- What I'm reading: P. Memmott, Gunyah, Goondie + Wurley: The Aboriginal Architecture of Australia. (St. Lucia, Queensland 2007).

It's wintertime here on the North Plains: a few days of flurries this week and temperatures in the 20s in the morning. I hope the low, grey clouds that have dampened my spirits lift today and give us back some of the amazing North Dakota sky.
In the meantime, I'll remember this is how most people live in the U.S. and Europe (deprived of the most amazing sky in the world), and I'll provide some quick hits and varia to make us all feel just a little bit better.
- Fall trips for the regular members of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
- If you haven't checked out Eric Poehler's blog or his contribution to our 3D Thursday series, you really should. Pompey never looked cooler.
- Oxford's International Graduate Student Conference is called The City and the cities: from Constantinople to the frontier. Here's the call for papers.
- The Greek financial crisis from the perspective of an ancient site. Stephen Miller is proposing an odd plan.
- Slaves in the Morea.
- Drought in the Bronze Age (but read this too).
- James Newhard of the College of Charleston appears on Gizmodo touting 3D and Drones in archaeology (and showing our 3D Thursday some love!).
- Maps showing the most popular boy names and the most popular girl names over the past 60 years by state. It is a bit concerning that William is becoming so popular in the south. You can also check out the range of moods typical across the U.S., but state.
- The long awaited Emily Dickinson Archive is now live.
- Save the Astrodome!
- Apparently it is problematic to bury your wife in your front yard in Alabama. How very unByzantine of them!
- Maybe the flipped classroom isn't better.
- It's nice to know that there is a chance that nature has a failsafe for a zombie apocalypse.

A fitful hotel room sleep and some delightful "brown flavored" waterish coffee almost made me forget the beautiful drive from Grand Forks to Bismarck, North Dakota yesterday. Almost.
The drive and hectic week did impoverish my quick hits and varia, but hopefully there is something here to carry you through the weekend.
- Some dream archaeology from India with an interesting political, religious, and economic aspect (h/t Lizzie Baughan).
- The long life of a Roman bathhouse (h/t Vincent O'Reilly).

- The sounds of New York in the roaring '20s.
- Feudalism in California.
- I am declining to comment.
- Some more thoughts on whether Spotify is a good or bad.
- Messy desks are important.
- Congratulations to Pakistan for an impressive win over South Africa.
- 100,000 Stars.
- Two more links to abandonment porn: abandoned farmhouses and a public library in Detroit.
- Speaking of abandonment. The oil spill in North Dakota is a mess. And, yes, I just linked to Fox News.
- My wife has a new car (ahem, I wish). I'm a Honda guy, but I have to admit that it's pretty sexy. (Not as sexy as this, though).
- This is a remarkable story.
- What I'm reading: …. (reading?)

After a lovely late summer week, we will slide into genuinely fall-like weather this weekend. We might even turn the heat on or play my stereo very loud so that the amplifier gives us warmth.
Before I offer up my modest serving of quick-hits and varia, I want to thank my readers and contributors to this blog. This has been a great week. The blog has enjoyed close to 250 views per day and this follows on very solid page views for the last two months. I am more than pleased that I can fill a spot in interests of the internet community.
And, now, some links:
- A Byzantine monastery in Istanbul.
- The abandoned villages in Syria reborn (h/t to Nassos Papalexandrou).
- St. Catherine on the Sinai and the unrest in Egypt.
- Archaeology and Cultural Heritage in Libya.
- Archaeologists with friggin' laser beams.
- New cities in Late Antiquity.
- Hopefully people had a chance to read Sebastian Heath's nice piece on the democratization of 3D imaging technology in Mediterranean Archaeology yesterday.
- Architectural history and MOOCs.
- The origins of the term boondocks.
- Luther's insults.
- Some Bakken photos from the sky.
- Crowd sourcing the best public history in the Public Historian.
- Apparently, emus are bulletproof.
- There are two great web applications: the magic 8-Ball and Cloud Paint (for anyone nostalgic for MacPaint around 1988).
- An iPhone in Scotland.
- Sachin Tendulkar will retire after the home series against the West Indies. Hopefully that new will distract everyone from the Australian visit.
- What I'm listening to: The Radiators, Ghostown. (R.I.P. Phil Chevron).
- What I'm reading: Thomas Pynchon, The Bleeding Edge.
I'm feeling nostalgic:

It may actually be Fall here in North Dakotaland. Not only did we enjoy our first pot of Fall chili, but we few trees here on the prairie are beginning to show a new set of colors. The high this weekend will only just peak about 50 and the academic semester is well and truly underway. There are whispers of snow in the forecast for tonight.
It seems like a good weekend to stay indoors, to relax, and to catch up on that pile of reading, grading, or footballing. To get that started, I'll humbly offer some quick hits and varia. (These should be called Quick Hits and Varia: Dimitri Nakassis Edition!)
- I usually lead with news from the world of archaeology, but the arrest of the head of Golden Dawn in Athens seems more noteworthy.
- Punk Archaeology (via Andrew Reinhard) has made it onto the Munsell Soil Color Book website. This is the equivalent of appearing of Jimmy Fallon or Arsenio Hall.
- Robotic snakes and archaeology.
- Western Argolid Archaeological Project.
- I don't know how this works, but it is amazing.
- You haven't been reading 3D Thursday, you really should be.
- More on the American School of Classical Studies at Athens entrance exam and some shady dealings from a mysterious "Professor Blank".
- Some folks are criticizing the NSF for funding Bronze Age Cyprus and other folks are responding.
- A Hellenistic bust of a boy inscribed with a cross at Bonhams.
- The American School of Classical Studies is having a sale on their Corinth, Athens, Isthmia, and Hesperia Supplement volumes. Act now while supplies last! Limited time only!
- The death of the home stereo system. And I finally got Scot Hull to publish another of my essays!
- A playful facade.
- Computer grading will destroy our schools.

Daniel Earwicker says:
They did the same thing in my town, except they hid all the books in one building.
John McCracken says:
They should hide the books in the library. Good luck finding which books are the hidden ones.
Robert Cruickshank says:
I'd have to agree with you there. Sooner or later some hysteric is going to report one of the books as a 'suspicious package'. Cue bomb squads, mass sackings, Fox News waging its own War on Libraries, etc. etc.
Timmy Corkery says:
This doesn't surprise me in the least because the SPL totally rules. I reserve my books from home and check them out via RFID and (frickin') laser beams. It's like living in the future and/or magic, depending on your grasp of the tech involved. I feel completely comfortable making the blanket generalization that all folks at the Seattle Public Library system are awesome, fun, really smart and creative.
Robert says:
"Young people are encouraged to scour the city's landmarks for 1,000 books hidden throughout town, and then to re-hide them for other kids to find."
Wait. So when do they get read?
ofasudden says:
I'm sure 'read them' is implied between 'find' and 're-hide.' It's like Pay it Forward, or Read it Forward.

"This new service gives small businesses the features needed to meet their business objectives," said Broadview's Chief Operating Officer, Brian Crotty. "With cutting-edge features like web-enabled voicemail, as well as traditional ones like call transfer and music on hold, employees and their managers will have new tools to manage their business and connect with customers. Broadview is proud to provide large business features not traditionally available to small businesses at an affordable cost.
