Obamacare Death Watch (Update #96)
Posted on March 20th, 2010 by Ryan Booth Submit Well be updating this entry all weekend. Follow us on Twitter for notifications of the latest updates.
Update 3-20, 8:55 AM: As I predicted last night, prospects for a Stupak deal appear to be collapsing. Im putting the word death back in the thread title shame on me for taking it out.
Update 3-20, 8:00 AM: Stupak was right. Back on Wednesday, he told The Hill in an interview:
Theyll call me the night before and say, Hey, weve got to work this out. We dont have the votes, he said. Then we get serious.
Members in Question [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Stupak swingers at the moment appear to be: Kaptur of Ohio, Berry of Arkansas, Cueller of Texas, and Rahall of West Virginia.
If you live in any one of these districts, you might want to buck your representative up.
UPDATE: With #s:
Berry (202) 225-4076
Cueller 202-225-1640
Kaptur(202) 225-4146
Rahall (202) 225-3452
Says that if it is 215-215 the bill is dead.
Thank you for posting this! I need sanity support! Big time!

@PeteSessions: Will tweet live updates on #HCR bill debate in our House Rules Committee meeting starting @ 10am ET. #GOP #TCOT
Thoughts on Stupak? Why the presser?
Cavuto is live today- he'll have Mark Levin on this hour to discuss the suit Landmark Legal Foundation will bring immediately IF this goes through.
Well here we go. I feel like I'm living in Zimbabwe.
Barton saying we are about to unleash a cultural war in this country if you do this demon pass.
He is right about that.
Pro-choice members of the House are in revolt, threatening to kill the health care bill after Nancy Pelosi agreed to give Bart Stupak a vote on a concurrent resolution which would tie his language on abortion to the Senate bill and substitute it for the Nelson language.
Marcia Pappas, President of New York Now, released an open letter encouraging the women in Congress to oppose the deal:
March 19, 2010
An open letter to every woman in Congress:
Today, women in the United States are fighting for their lives. You must fight too! A womans right to have safe and legal abortion is about to be traded away.
We are asking all of you fight like you have never fought before. Tonight, It has become clear that the our Democratic President Obama, Democratic Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi) and Democratic Leader (Harry Reid) are trading away womens lives.
Every woman in Congress should MAKE HISTORY AND WALK OUT ! This is your chance to stand up for what is right! Forget politics, forget saving your seat! You must take a chance!
If you sit back and allow the passage of the health care bill with Stupak, women in America will not vote for another Democrat ..myself included. Because there will essentially be no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
What will it be? Will you all go down in history following the boys, or will you finally stand up for what is right? Its up to all of you. We elected you because we believed that having women at the table would make a difference. Dont let us down.
Marcia A. Pappas
According to The Hill, were the resolution to pass the House, it would instruct the Senate clerk to change the healthcare bill to reflect Stupaks more restrictive language to prohibit federal dollars from going toward abortion coverage.
There were 41 members of Congress who signed Diana DeGettes letter saying we will not vote for a conference report that contains language that restricts womens right to choose any further than current law. Although the language in the Senate bill most certainly goes way beyond current law, the members have thus far stayed silent and DeGette has not released the names on the letter.
Jan Schakowsky, Mike Capuano, Mike Quigley, Carolyn Maloney, Judy Chu and Louise Slaughter have publicly said that they signed the letter. Betsy Markey and Anne Kirkpatrick are also signatories.
As I mentioned this morning, abortion would not be an issue in the Plan B alternative that the White House was contemplating three weeks ago, which would evidently expand existing programs Medicaid and SCHIP. It would cover half the people at a quarter of the price, but it would not include the politically toxic mandate that threatens to trigger nationwide opposition in the form of 2010 ballot amendments. Because it creates no new infrastructure for the purpose of funneling money to private insurance companies, there is no need for either Bart Stupaks or Ben Nelsons language dealing with abortion which satisfies the concerns of both pro-choice and anti-choice members of Congress.
Both programs are already covered under existing law, the Hyde amendment.
Good...close the lid and ship it to Siberia.
Stupak is the Dems "fly in the ointment." Unless Pelosi decided to compromise and meet the demands of Stupak last night, his press conference will be about why he is voting "NO" and what the Democrats can do to get him to "YES."
Stupak will be the American people's hero at the end of this.
Is Mark Levin going to protest? He went to first one, right?
You're not alone FRiend :)
Did Fox & Friends say that the had 217 yes votes this morning?
Marcy Kaptur must want a deal. They've been running ads here on talk radio station asking people to call and tell her to vote "no."
Great idea, thanks for starting this. I was hoping for one thread where I could check throughout the day.
Awesome- I'm crossing my eyes, toes, fingers and heart!
The momentum seems to shift a bit?
Thxs Mom for the ping!
Fox ahd an article on their site yesterday that said yes they had 216, BUT it was an AP article, and used fuzzy math (many assumptions, faulty assumptions IMO).
Yes they did so they know about as much as we!
Thanks for the ray of sunshine and the thread.
THe next day is going to be hell.
Did I hear him end the interview saying he believes Pelosi will pull this out?
If anti-abortion language is not in the Senate bill, how can any kind of concession be made to the Senate bill before the House, to include new language?
It seems to me that their reporting on this has not been responsible.
Following this process/issue has been as nerve-wracking as following the recounts when Al Gore tried to steal the election in 2000.
Thanks for posting this. I've been checking the status constantly.
Yes, they did with Murphy's switch to yes. I was flipping out. I need tranquilizers!
I don't know who the guy was with Neil just now- but he's digging in his heels- not happy with the medicare language...
I cry for our America. We have allowed it to taken from us from within. A call to Patriots....
No. Delay said Pelosi is "in a box."
Please post phone numbers and those of with blackberry type devices can call from the crowd.
Sometimes I get the feeling around here that abortion of the one sticking point in this entire bill. Well, it's not. It's like, if Stupak gets his way, and can then vote for the bill, that it'll be okay. Total BS! Yes, abortion is a critical factor, but the entire overhaul according to BHO, Pelosi, Reid and their nutjobs is a disaster for America! Stupak is only holding out because of abortion...he and all the rest should be holding out because this is downright wrong on all accounts. Period!
Gov Rick Perry gave him a phone call:)
Mark Levin on Cavuto Now!
Isn't this just the Stupak charade all over again? Republicans are afraid to vote against such a move, even though the vote itself has no impact and won't stop the bill from becoming law. So the panties-in-a-wad feminists don't have to vote for it, but it passes, which gives the Stupak stooges enough cover to vote the bill into law.
Greek Orthodox?
Are you listening to Levin on Cavuto? He's answering the question you were pondering earlier...
This has been debunked. This author is an Obama hack. Lies and distortion to get the conservative base to feel defeated.
Levin on Cavuto bump!!!
Cueller 202-225-1640
User mailbox is full and can't leave a message.
Then I hope somebody sits on the box....(poke some breathing holes in it....I'm not totally cruel).

Associate Professor of Classics
Sills Hall - 7
Robert Sobak
Introduces students to basic elements of ancient Greek grammar and syntax; emphasizes the development of reading proficiency and includes readings, both adapted and in the original, of various Greek authors. Focuses on Attic dialect.
Robert Sobak
A review of the essentials of Greek grammar and syntax and an introduction to the reading of Greek prose through the study of one of Plato's dialogues. Equivalent of Greek 1102 or two to three years of high school Greek is required.
I was born and raised in New Mexico, but I spent most of my summers with my extended family in the farmlands of North Dakota and in the cypress swamps of Southeast Texas. I received a B.A. in Classics from Franklin and Marshall College, where I first learned to value the residential liberal-arts model of higher education. After college I spent five years running a specialized second-hand bookstore in Albuquerque before selling it in order to return to school. I attended the Post-Baccalaureate program in Classics at the University of Pennsylvania, and then received an M.A. in Greek and Latin from the University of Georgia, where I wrote a thesis on geographical description in Tacitus. I next enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Classics at Princeton University, where I focused on Classical Greek social history and material culture. Here at Bowdoin I teach all levels of Greek and Latin language, introductory survey courses in both Greek history and Roman history, and topical seminars in Greek history, Roman history, Greek political theory, and Greek archaeology.
I am finding it increasingly more difficult to define my research profile according to traditional categories. Given the opportunities that my position here at Bowdoin provides for teaching all across the field of Classics, I trust that such broad interests are a beneficial feature, both for me and for my students. In general, I am interested in trying to figure out ways to understand better the actions, attitudes, and beliefs of individuals and groups whom ancient historical sources and approaches have tended to neglect: common people, just like us. The great labor historian E. P. Thompson once called elite-driven and elite-defined history as "the enormous condescension of posterity." I would like to see classical scholarship more fully engaged in pushing back against this condescension: developing robust methods of reading sources against the grain, and willing to argue by necessary inference rather than hewing strictly to a narrow field of prescriptive texts. I often present this analogy to my students: We cannot "see," nor even measure, black holes directly (nothing escapes their gravitational field). But we can learn a great deal about them by studying the effects they exert upon nearby, directly measurable matter. So too should historians be willing to enrich their examination of the historically invisible and occluded by developing more sensitive tools of inferential judgment and cross-cutting reading. Failure to do so is to be forever trapped beyond the event horizon of, in most cases, highly normative primary sources.
Out of these interests and concerns have come particular research projects, like my first two books, which both explore two sides of the same historical problem: the role and place of labor and laborers in Democratic Athens. In one book (Telling Tales Out of Work) I examine how common, anonymous artisans represented themselves and their skills in visual media such as painted figural pottery and dedicatory relief sculpture of late archaic and early classical Athens. When we study these depictions from the perspective of functionality and aesthetics, unhobbled by pre-determined, icongraphically-derived rules and categories, I think we can see stories about personal agency and group identity among formally low-status Athenians, people generally absent from the extant ancient literature. In my other book on classical Athens (Crafting the Democratic Body) I argue that everyday interactions – on the streets, in the markets, and at work – among diverse sets of people, tends to result in the emergence of a potentially powerful collective intelligence. In essence, the more diverse the population, the more cognitively potent the polity, provided cultural and institutional spaces enable and encourage the free association of as many groups and individuals as possible. This has profound implications for our own conceptions of political expertise, firm-management, and decision-making, as so many modern notions of wisdom, intelligence, and skill are deeply indebted to authors writing in the shadow of Democratic Athens. Overall, both projects stress the value of the everyday and the common.
My third book project, as well as a couple of articles in progress, reflects my interest in narratological approaches to ancient literary texts in general, and to literary descriptions of landscape and geography in particular. I find literary geography interesting because it contains so many stock, generic elements, but at the same time is used to great rhetorical effect by so many ancient authors. Thus my book project on Pindar's Kyrenean Odes (Pythian 4, 5, and 9) traces out how Pindar's language of travel, topographical description, and overall geographic concerns in all three poems seems to suggest a programmatic interest in presenting the Libyan polis of Kyrene as "Greek" as possible. This "placing" of Kyrene is a useful lens through which to think through issues of colonization, economic networks, and inter-state relationships during a time of cultural upheaval.
I have laid down the foundations for my book projects in three separate long-form, peer-reviewed articles, one in Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, and two in Hesperia. The long-form article is a genre of scholarly communication that is, unfortunately to my mind, going the way of the dodo, as an external logic with respect to research production drives faculty in the direction of a maximum amount of least publishable units. This logic is especially pernicious in the case of classical scholarship, which depends on polylingualism, diverse primary and secondary sources, and lengthy peer-review. If you are interested in particular areas of my research please read the abstracts I have linked to in the Research tab directly below, or get in touch with me directly for drafts and off-prints.

Elliott Munn (Classics '12)
Elliott began work on this project during the summer of 2011, for which he was awarded a competitive Surdna Fellowship. Munn was inspired to tackle this research thanks both to his own experience rowing for Bowdoin, and to his experience as a Classics major, which equipped him to read ancient sources in their original languages. This complex project involved careful literary analyses, detailed investigations into the mechanics involved in rowing and ship design, and an integration of modern scholarship on how people cooperate and work together as a team in order to solve technical problems. In May of 2012 Elliott earned "high honors" for his departmental thesis, which was entitled "Rowing for the Common Good: The Oarsmen of Democratic Athens." (PDF) Elliott rowed for Bowdoin for four years, served as a counselor for Seeds of Peace, and is now pursuing a Masters of Divinity at Yale University.
Michael Dooley (Classical Studies '10)
Mike wrote a lengthy and detailed paper, entitled "Asymmetric Warfare in Roman Antiquity," (PDF) as the capstone for his research program, which was awarded a competitive Surdna Fellowship for the Summer of 2009, and which he continued on into the Fall of 2009. Mike's project entailed a comparative analysis of guerrilla warfare and counter-insurgency methodology in ancient Numidia, modern Algeria, and modern Afghanistan. After serving as President of Bowdoin Student Government during his senior year at Bowdoin, Dooley was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in 2010. In April of 2012 he wrote to let me know that he was enjoying his new life as an infantryman, and had recently served as the education officer during one billet – making sure that all of his fellow soldiers were big fans of Roman History.
Classicists work in the original "inter-disciplinary" field, and therefore especially value engagement with scholars involved in areas that, at first glance, seem far different from us. This holds true both in our pedagogy and in our research. Fortunately, Bowdoin provides resources that allow me to bring to campus scholars in whose work I am particularly interested, and whose ideas I think would be particularly interesting for my students and colleagues. As you can see from the examples below, I have organized visits and lectures involving a wide range of individuals, who give talks to the wider Bowdoin community, and devote considerable time and energy to particular classes and students. This allows students to see scholarship in action, and models intellectual exchange in a way that does not always emerge from a purely text-based approach.

These are online resources that I use frequently, and which will be useful to Classics students of all levels. Many of them will require that you access them either from a computer on the Bowdoin network, or employ Bowdoin's VPN connection (I have marked these with a bracketed {B}). In order to set-up a VPN connection for the use of Bowdoin resources while off-campus, go here.
Greek Fonts – If you are using Greek at all it will save you much time and many headaches to install a good Unicode, Polytonic Greek font on your computer. This will allow you to read, and produce, Greek characters and diacritical marks. Bowdoin has a site license for the GreekKeys family of fonts, which work especially well on both the Macintosh and PC systems. Contact Carmen Greenlee for help on installation. A useful introduction to Unicode Greek can be found here, and an exhaustive and up-to-date page detailing the various options for both Mac and PC can be found here.
Perseus – A massive, online resource, which provides texts in Greek, Latin, Arabic, German, French, Italian and others. It also has an extensive library of photographed and catalogued objects, inscriptions, and papyri. Perseus is impossible to categorize, but a great place to explore. A more streamlined, efficient portal can be found through the University of Chicago's Department of Classics, which provides a mirror site to Perseus here.
TLG – {B} – The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae represents the first effort in the Humanities to produce a large digital corpus of literary texts. Since its inception the project has collected and digitized most texts written in Greek from Homer (8 c. B.C.) to the fall of Byzantium in AD 1453 and beyond. Its goal is to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era. TLG research activities combine the traditional methodologies of philological and literary study with the most advanced features of information technology.
PHI-Latin – The Packard Humanities Institute has created a website that contains essentially all Latin literary texts written before A.D. 200, as well as some texts selected from later antiquity. These texts were previously available on The Packard Humanities Institute's CD ROM 5.3. You can find a complete listing in the Canon of Latin Authors.
The Latin Library – Basic, easy to use, and useful.
Beazley Archive Pottery Database – This is an ideal place to begin any research project involving Greek figural pottery. The search terms can be finicky, and the user-interface is not as intuitive as it might be (partly a function of its ground-breaking nature), but any time taken to explore it thoroughly will be richly rewarded! The original project, a database of Athenian figure-decorated pottery 626-300BC, began in 1979, and was adopted by the British Academy as an advanced research project in 1982. It was the second project at the University of Oxford to be available "on line" (after the Cairns Science Library). Beginning in 1992 the database, and others started in the early 1990s, began to be prepared for migration to the web. The project was originally funded by the AHRB 2003-2006, and represented the first stage of an integrated multiple database system available on the web. It now contains over 10TBs of data on Pottery, Gems and Sculpture, with more than 300,000 records and 200,000 high-resolution images on the web. Searches can be made across all types of material on the site. It receives about 200,000 hits per day and its most advanced database has more than 8,000 registered users worldwide. It is widely considered to be a model of what the "digital humanities" can do.
CVA – The Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum ('Corpus of Ancient Vases') is the oldest research project of the Union Académique Internationale. The database consists of a series of high-quality catalogues of mostly ancient Greek painted pottery in collections around the world. The first fascicule appeared in 1922 and since then around 380 have appeared, illustrating more than 100,000 vases in 24 countries. The three-year CVA Online project began in 2000, when Oxford University's Beazley Archive was invited to undertake the digitization of out-of-print fascicules. The digitized catalogues can be viewed and browsed through this site, which also provides links to the fully searchable Beazley Archive pottery database.
Oxford Art Online {B} – Oxford Art Online offers access to the most authoritative, inclusive, and easily searchable online art resources available today. Through a single, elegant gateway users can access—and simultaneously cross-search—an expanding range of Oxford's acclaimed art reference works: Grove Art Online, the Benezit Dictionary of Artists, the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, The Oxford Companion to Western Art, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms, as well as many specially commissioned articles and bibliographies available exclusively online.
ArtStor {B} – An online resource containing more than one million digital images relating to the arts, architecture, humanities and sciences.
LIMC – The Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae is now online and searchable, for free! It can be difficult to use (for example you have to click on the magnifying glass icon in the top left corner in order to begin searching), but it provides comprehensive resources for the study of classical religion and mythology. For a brief introduction to this source, see Phoebe Acheson's useful review here.
Greek Inscriptions – A database of Greek Inscriptions underwritten by the Packard Humanities Institute, and maintained by faculty at Cornell and Ohio State. This is useful for checking texts, as the inscriptions are clearly presented and easy to work with. You can search the texts using the java window at the bottom of your screen.
Use the following operators: | ^ = OR | & = AND | ~ = NEAR | ( ) = GROUPED
CSAD – The Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents was established in 1995 under the auspices of Oxford University's Faculty of Literae Humaniores to provide a focus for the study of ancient documents within Oxford. Over the last six years it has developed into a research centre of national and international importance. The Centre forms part of the Classics Centre, currently located in the Old Boys' School in George Street. The Centre provides a home for Oxford University's epigraphical archive, which includes one of the largest collections of squeezes (paper impressions) of Greek inscriptions in the world, together with the Haverfield archive of Roman inscriptions from Britain, the Vindolanda Tablets online, and a substantial photographic collection. The strengths of the epigraphical archive lie in its broad coverage of early Greek inscriptions, Attic epigraphy and the Hellenistic world. Individual sites well represented in the archive include Chios, Samos, Priene, Rhodes, and Samothrace.
OSU-CEP – The Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies at The Ohio State University is the only comprehensive research facility for the study of Greek and Latin inscriptions and manuscripts in the United States. Its purpose is to foster the study of inscriptions and manuscripts and promote research opportunities for those interested in these primary sources of information for the ancient and mediaeval world. The Center maintains an extensive collection of photographs and squeezes (accurate paper impressions of inscriptions) of Greek and Latin inscriptions and microfilms of Latin manuscripts.
Epigraphic Database Heidelberg – The Epigraphic Database Heidelberg (EDH) is the systematic entry of ancient Latin and bilingual (usually Latin and Greek) inscriptions into a complex database. A distinguishing feature of EDH is its regional focus, its capability of combining the stored metadata as freely as possible, and the reciprocal linking of the Epigraphic Text Database with both of the constituent databases of EDH, the Bibliographic Database and the Photographic Database. The goal of the project is to render the epigraphic documentation of the provinces of the Roman Empire as completely and reliably as possible for online research work. The Epigraphic Text Database is the heart of EDH and contains 65000 inscriptions at present. Almost all of the records present texts, which have already either been edited in the monumental Inscription corpora – in many cases still valid, but often do not fulfill the standards of modern textual editorial practice – or published, revised and discussed in thousands of scholarly articles. The texts and metadata of the inscriptions are thus presented on the basis of up to date scholarly research. One of the basic principles of the working method of EDH is that readings are not simply accepted from the editions and secondary literature. As much as possible these readings are verified at least on the basis of drawings or photographs – in the case of the latter these belong to the records of the Photographic Database – or ideally through autopsy. By means of the "status field" the user of the database is informed about the manner of verification of the readings.
EDCS – The Epigraphik Datenbank Clauss-Slaby is a database that records almost all Latin inscriptions. The texts are presented without abbreviations, and completed where possible. The presentation of the texts is kept as simple as possible. Beside the commonly used indications for resolution, completions and erasures, as few special characters as possible have been used. The abbreviations give the references for the publications used. The statistical data indicates which volumes (with how many texts per volume as far as the Latin inscriptions are concerned) are recorded completely in the database. As of 2011 650,859 sets of data for 445,006 inscriptions from over 1,800 publications for more than 21,300 places with 65,076 pictures have been recorded.
British Museum – The British Museum published most of its massive collection of Greek coins in 29 volumes from 1873-1929. The series, called BMC Greek, is the largest collection of ancient Greek coins ever published. This link provides an entry point to the various volumes and collections.
Historia Numorum – Barclay Head's seminal work on Greek Numismatics, now digitized and online, for free.
ANS – The American Numismatic Society is a museum and research institute devoted to the study of coins from all periods and cultures. There is a wealth of information here, but one to keep particularly in mind is OCRE: The Online Coins of the Roman Empire.
SNG – The Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum is a British Academy Research Project, the purpose of which is to publish illustrated catalogues of Greek coins in public and private collections in the British Isles. SNG has retained the traditional, very broad, definition of 'Greek' to include the coins produced by all ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean and neighbouring regions except Rome, though it does include the Roman Provincial series often known as 'Greek Imperials'.
Papyri.info – This site offers links to papyrological resources, a customized search engine (called the Papyrological Navigator) capable of retrieving information from multiple related collections, and an editing application, the Papyrological Editor, which contributors can use to suggest emendations to PN texts. The Papyrological Navigator aggregates and displays information from the Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS), the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri (DDbDP), the Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens (HGV), and Bibliographie Papyrologique (BP), as well as links to Trismegistos.
Michigan Papyri – The University of Michigan houses the largest number of papyri in North America, and remains a center for scholarly research in the field. The faculty have also put together a useful collection of links related to papyrology here.
LGPN – The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names was established to collect and publish all ancient Greek personal names, drawing on the full range of written sources from the 8th century B.C. down to the late Roman Empire.
PIR – The Prosopographia Imperii Romani provides a veritable "Who's Who" of the Roman Empire. You'll need a bit of German in order to navigate the site, but the online searching can be handy.
Greco-Roman Facebook – Well, not really, but this links to an interesting paper that provides a good introduction to the use of social network analysis in prosopographical approaches to the ancient world.
LSJ – The "Big" Liddell, Greek-English Lexicon, provided courtesy of the Perseus Project. The "Middle" Liddell, which can sometimes be a bit more useful, can be found here.
Lewis & Short – The standard, large format Latin-English Lexicon, provided courtesy of the Perseus Project.
English-Greek Lexicon – S.C. Woodhouse's classic aid for Greek Prose Composition students everywhere. Now digitized and hosted by the University of Chicago.
Smyth – Everything you ever wanted to know about Greek Grammar, but were afraid to ask.
Goodwin – The Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb. Guaranteed to relieve stress and improve your outlook on life, since 1879.
Lexiphanes – The LSJ and Autenrieth's Homeric Lexicon, squeezed in to your phone, or tablet. Crazy. Coded and supported by my friend Harry Schmidt.
Lexidium – A combination of Lewis & Short and a parsing tool for your iPod or iPad. Coded and supported by my friend Harry Schmidt.
L'Année philologique {B} – The essential bibliographic resource for all Classical disciplines. It is useful for finding books and articles on specific subjects or on particular ancient authors, and can be searched using a range of criteria, e.g. modern author, ancient author, keyword, subject, date, etc. It is also useful for decoding the various abbreviations used for journal titles.
TOCS-IN – This is a very simple, and user-friendly searchable index of the tables of contents from a selection of Classics, Near Eastern Studies, and Religion journals. This is often a good place to start a basic bibliographic search.
Gnomon – Also a collection of bibliographic citations, but also has a robust key-word tool, and catches items that appear neither in L'Année nor in TOCS-IN. It seems clunky at first, but once you familiarize yourself with its idiosyncrasies it can prove invaluable.
Dyabola {B} – A database of references to books, conference papers and journal articles produced by the German Archaeological Institute in Rome. Bowdoin does not have access to each and every feature (this will hopefully change in the near future), but it is especially useful when doing research on archaeological subjects.
Nomoi – A comprehensive bibliography of items related to Greek law. It is organized alphabetically by author, but you can search for keywords and terms using your browser's search function.
Nestor – An international bibliography of Aegean studies, Homeric society, Indo-European linguistics, and related fields. It is published monthly from September to May (each volume covers one calendar year) by the Department of Classics, University of Cincinnati. The primary geographic nexus of Nestor is the Aegean, including all of Greece, Albania, and Cyprus, the southern area of Bulgaria, and the western and southern areas of Turkey. Nestor includes publications concerning the central and western Mediterranean, southeastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean, western Asia, and other regions of archaeological research, if the specific bibliographic items contain Aegean artifacts, imitations, or influences, or make reference to Aegean comparanda.
This is a fairly random collection of links, facts, and fun stuff that have nothing to do with my professional existence.
I went to high school with Beavis and Butthead. Beavis and Butthead were the creation of Mike Judge, who, like me, played in the Albuquerque Youth Symphony, and had the two not-so-lovable losers attend Highland High School, where I went at the time. I have my theories about the real individuals who served as models, but I won't voice those here…
I went to college with the first American World Air Guitar Champion. I was Dave's RA, hallmate, and teammate, and after college, when I was struggling to keep my bookstore open, and he was working as a paralegal for Roger Moore, we lived on a porch together (Very. Cheap. Rent). Dave was an All-American in squash (he used to beat me with a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth – "Some nic for a nick!" was his claim, which was often born out), is an accomplished actor, and also had a movie made about his air guitar exploits. That was the only movie premier to which I was ever invited. You can watch a clip of one of his mind-boggling air guitar performances here.
I used to own a used bookstore, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was one of the very first book dealers to have an online presence, through the Interloc system, which was the early forerunner of Alibris. But before that I was an old-fashioned book-scout, and I learned the trade from George Allen, one of the giants of the American book world. There is a collection of remembrances of George, organized by Dan Traister (for whom I also worked at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Rare Books), here. My friend Wayne has kept W.H. Allen's alive, but has had to move the books from Philadelphia to Reinholds, and sells mostly online, here. I also scouted for Jerry Lane and Nick Potter, both of whom are still doing things the old-school way – they actually know things and don't rely on a computer to tell them what a book is "worth." Alas, their breed is disappearing, but Troy Casa, who scouted for my store back in the day, opened his store a couple of doors from mine, and then later helped start Alibris, is carrying on the real bookman's tradition. The best place to go to find used books online is an aggregator site called AddAll. If you are interested in new books, consider supporting Powell's, in Portland. They can get anything that Amazon can, and their customer service is far superior.
I played soccer, tennis, and squash in both high school and college, and can be found watching Bowdoin's teams whenever I have the time. Former teammates in all three sports went on to play professionally: Mark Keil, Gerrell Elliott, and Tim Long. Mark produced a great documentary about his time on the ATP tour. Gerrell, whose nickname growing up was "Gerbil," was a first-team All-American at Fresno State, the leading NCAA goal-scorer, and played professionally in Germany and in the MLS, with the Dallas Burn. After F&M Tim played squash professionally, and represented the U.S. in tournaments overseas. Over the years I've been lucky to see some amazing squash players in action, including former World #1 and F&M coach John White (wait for the 0:37 mark!), but none of them moved around the court as gracefully as Tim.
While I was at Princeton I worked for four years as an Assistant Master in Butler College, one of the undergraduate residential colleges. My wife, Karin, and I lived in the college when it was still a monument to brutalist architecture, and had the (in)famous "waffle ceilings." All is not lost, however. If you want to see true waffle ceilings, identical to those once in Butler Colege, go into the Government Documents section of H.-L. Library! Most students didn't appreciate what an awesome place Butler was at the time. Karin and I still miss it, though we were given the architectural blueprints for our apartment from the University, and still hope to recreate our little slice of Butler somewhere in Maine.
Here in Maine my new-found hobbies are bird watching and bicycle building, neither of which I've really had much time to pursue of late. The best local, public resource for birding is Derek's store in Freeport. He has recently published a book with Princeton University Press, called How to be a Better Birder, and he gives free tours every Saturday morning. Though Bowdoin students should take advantage of Nat Wheelwright's ornithological expertise. If you need parts for your bike, or even a whole bike, check out Center Street Cycles in Brunswick, and Bath Cycle and Ski in Woolwich. Bath Cycle and Ski is a nationally known distributor, and they can get their hands on most anything. They also have quite a collection of old-school parts, like those late '80s Shimano and Suntour components for your retro-ride that you can't find anywhere else. I ride three different bikes. A neon yellow 1989 Marin Pine Mountain, equipped with the great old Shimano Deore DX system, and which is now stripped and undergoing a rebuild. I purchased the bike for a mountain-biking tour of Greece in the summer of 1990. It went with me to France, Germany, and Greece, and then later careened down as many ski runs in New Mexico as I could get access to. After over twenty years of service it needed some downtime, so it is in pieces, waiting until I have time to rebuild it. You will see me riding around campus on non-snow days on my Surly Big Dummy. I built this bike in 2007, and it is my main workhorse. I use it for schlepping whatever I can balance on it, and you will often see Karin chilling out on the back. When it snows, I ride my Surly Pugsley, which I built in 2009. I swap out the snow wheels for a pair of 29er slicks during the summer, which makes it a very versatile frame. Below are some photos of the Big Dummy and Pugsley in various situations.

Okay so we are knee deep in the revelation that Tobi is Obito now so no turning back but for many of us this feels to be a great disappointment at the over seemingly simplicity of one of the seemingly darkest villains in them manga. Aside from the timeline conflicts there may very well be more to the story than we realize and I will explore some of that here but why dont we take look at some of the other villains in them manga and explore their transformation into villainy as a comparison.
Most of the characters that turned evil can be split into 2 camps. Those that had some traumatic life experiences and made an intellectual choice that led to an evil mindset and those who had traumatic life experience followed by periods of suffering that lead to an emotional turn to evil.
The Intellectual choice for Evil: I did it because I wanted to.
These individuals are marked by tragedies in their life which had a dramatic effect on their way of thinking. They became evil not because of rage but out of ideology to try and find greater meaning to life to validate there experiences.
Madara: - We don't know about his childhood but we do know it was a time of constant war that he grew up in thus death and sacrifice where a constant for him. Thus in order to gain greater strength eventually he killed his best friend and obtained the MS along with his brother that allowed him to take control of the the Uchiha clan. With this new power he was able to challenge Hashrima the greatest shinobi of the time. It was around this time he also was able to read more of the Rikudou Tablet left with the Uchiha.
As his eyes failed his brother Izuna sacrificed his eyes which lead to his death and he was able to obtain the EMS but before he could use this new power a Senju Peace treaty was sent which he opposed but the other members of Uchiha clan where tiered of war and wanted peace. Thus he was forced into an uncomfortable peace for the interest of the clan. As he tried to wrestle leadership control of the new village the Uchiha clan refused to back him thus he was force to leave alone. He obtained the Kyuubi and used it to attack but was defeated by Hashrima but not before obtaining a sample of his DNA.
Thus Madara who grew up during a time of constant war, who was betrayed by his own clan believes only in power and making sacrifices to obtain it as that is how he survived for so long. However interestingly enough the fact that the Uchiha betrayed him makes you wonder why he would entrust so much to Obito/Tobi.
Orochimaru: - He lost his parents when he was young and thus grew up an orphan without that parental love. Upon seeing the skin of white snake Sarutobi explained to him that it was symbol of rebirth and that perhaps a sign that he could see his parents again some day. Clearly loosing his parents was a traumatic experience and him being an intellectual tried to find meaning from this tragedy by buring himself in the study of jutsu. Thus jutsu's became an obsession for him and as he grew up during a time of war his mission experience grew and so did his experience with the fragility of life as death is everywhere in a Shinob war. He also joined Danzou's Root which teaches you to kill your emotions to become a more powerful tool. You can see plainly from his offcial mission logs how much war experience he has: Orochimaru has completed 1,468 official missions in total: 16 D-rank, 332 C-rank, 521 B-rank, 491 A-rank, 108 S-rank.
Thus his seeking to find meaning to life through studying jutsu plus his fear of death is what lead him to abandon morality & to become a villain.
Sasori: - His parents died when he was a child so he grew up without the warmth of his parents love but always secretly desired it. His grandma Chiyo raised him and looked after him as best she could but eventually he became a shinobi and went through the Sand villages indoctrination of "killing your emotions to become a weapon" training program. This was probably a relief to Sasori in that he always carried the grief of loosing his parents love and that left a hole in his heart which he tried to stomp out by learning to kill his emotions. However like in many other villages that experimented in this there was backlash in that a shinobi that kills their emotions can also loose something important like their moral center thus his killing the 3rd Kazekage to gain access to his abilities.
So you could say his seeking to conquer his own pain and fear of death to gain meaning from life was his reason for turning evil.
The Emotional Turn to Evil: Rageoholics unite
These guys didnt so much make an intellectual choice as one from strong emotions that stems from long periods of suffering.
Nagato: - This guy is clearly marked with a lot of suffering from early on. His parents where killed violently "trying to protect him" when he was child. His powers awoken and he managed to kill the attacker but all to late. Due to war and he became a war orphan & he spent his time wandering begging for food and almost died from starvation until he ran into Konan & Nagato. The war orphans had no one to rely on but each other thus became like family and struggled to survive by stealing food.
During his early time with Jiraya Yahiko was attacked again something he loved being threatened ad his powers awakened again and killed the attacker allowing him to protect his friend.
Years later during Hanzou's betrayal his most precious friends are at risk and he was "unable to protect Yahiko" thus he died. Thus he uses his most forbidden jutsu and destroys nearly everyone threatening his friends and is able to protect Konan.
Clearly the theme running here is his desire to protect the ones he loves while failing to do so twice and that pain fueling his desire for greater power the power of a god to protect those things. Very Anakin Skywalker like as mentioned years back in my starwars thread.
Gaara: - Clearly he suffered a lot as child his mother died during childbirth and he was born to be the secret weapon of the village. Firstly as Jinchuuriki he got the usual treatment of pariah of the village with the evil stares and the like. Then on top of that his uncle the only close parental figure in his life was forced to lie to him and tell him his mother never loved him and he wanted him to die and killed himself to do so. Then dear o Dad tried to send assassins to test his power which Gaara assumed where attempts to get rid of him because he was an unwanted relic of the village.
So as you can see Gaara's brief turn to evil was from obviously being loathed and hated and thinking no one loved him and thus he wanted to gain power to kill all those who threatened him and his existence.
Sasuke: - He had a normal childhood with a loving brother and 2 parents until that fateful night where the brother he admired and looked up to more than anyone else killed the Uchiha clan and his own parents then tortured him. Sasuke a small child at the time knew nothing about the internal drama of his clan and could hardly make sense of everything that happened to him. The most prevailing question in his mind was why? He wanted to understand why Itachi betrayed him and did such horrific things. After Itachi's death he learns the truth from Tobi and of course he becomes enraged because everything he knew about his clan and his brother turns out to be a lie. Even now with Orochimaru he seeks to uncover the truth behind everything to make his own decision.
Thus Sasuke's goal since the massacre has always been to seek the truth and seek justice.
So where does Obito/Tobi fit in?
Okay so based on his response "I was because you let Rin die" it would seem his reasoning would fall under the emotional category. Most of the guys under that category not only had tragedy but period of great emotional suffering. Clearly Madara is factor here too and I'l get into that.
Was Rin dying the only factor here?:
- I would venture to say no that doesn't seem to be enough reason to hate the world so much but it was defiantly a factor
So what was Obito's great suffering?:
- Well we dont know much of what happened during his childhood if he was a war orphan or not is unknown. How he was treated by the other Uchiha members is also unknown maybe he was looked down on as embarrassment to the Uchiha clan?
- The first obvious factor would be his injuries that he suffered from after being crushed by rocks loosing and arm and possibly portions of his body.
- The one thing I can link from both loosing Rin and his bodies damage is that these are both are the result from his own decisions in some way. He entrusted Kakashi to protect Rin with his sharingan and that failed. He sacrificed his own life to protect his friend Kakashi and suffered injuries from it. So he could blame himself for not protecting Rin with his own hands and believing in his own power to protect her rather than leaving it up to someone else.
The Madara connection:
- I have mentioned this before but I defiantly feel there is a direct connection between Madara & Obito and that he may actually be a decedent of Madara or Izuna. Thus Madara is not just a fellow Uchiha he is close family to Obito who for all we know may have been a war orphan of the clan. This may explain why Madara trusts him to some degree....
Madara may have explained his true heritage and that he is descended from greatness and instilled into him a greater sense of purpose and pride he never had.
- Also we know it is possible for Uchiha clan members to share memories through their eye Genjutsu, so its possible Madara gave him a lesson in hatred from his own vast life experiences. I'm speaking Clock work Orange type lessons here. He may have predicted the fact that Rin was going to die because he relied on someone without special power(Kakashi). Thus when Rin died it may have seemed like Madara was a prophet & the gospel and everything that happened was from his own foolishness.
- This still makes it hard to believe Obito could handle all the things that happened that night the Kyuubi attacked but hopefully there is reasonable explanation for that as well. However there is still probably more to it than that. Things we as audience member didn't know anything about that will be revealed.
Feel free to discuss!

At Clawson Town's recent council meeting, the council planned the Harvest Celebration. It is scheduled for Sept. 22 and some events being considered are a climbing wall, baking contest, candy cannon, an auction, face painting, kids games, and a dunking machine.
Mayor Carey Bloomer asked the council for permission to remind all residents to clean up their properties of garbage, old cars, weeds, etc. She added that many old houses in town should be taken down also. Bloomer wondered if there were incentives which could be offered to prompt residents to clean up the town.
Mayor Bloomer also informed the council of an ordinance change which is being considered. The ordinance being considered deals with the beautification and health aspects of cleaning up Clawson. She stated the change will address unwanted items on private property.
The changes will allow the city to clean up the items if they are left for more than 10 days. After the clean-up, the city will have the right to bill the property owner for the clean up and fine them $100 for each violation.
Councilman Gerry Hatch said he has talked with Darrel Leamaster of the Special Service District about the cost of the chip seal project for 2008 in Clawson. The project will cost the town $9,000-10,000. He also requested the paving of Rock Canyon Road be put on the list of projects.
Councilperson Amanda Price told the council of a research project which needs to be completed. The veterans in the cemetery need to be recorded. This will enable the American Legion to do a tribute in the Clawson Cemetery next year on Memorial Day.
The next Clawson Town Council meeting will be held Aug. 9 at 6 p.m. at the town hall building.

New laws now effective in Virginia
BRISTOL, Va. - Since it's now July, several new laws are now effective in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Virginia Fifth District Delegate Israel O' Quinn sat down with News 5 on Monday to discuss the new laws. He tells us it won't cost as much to fill up at the gas pumps, but residents may feel the tax pinch in other areas to make up the difference.
"The sales tax goes from 5 to 5.3 percent. If you live in northern Virginia in Hampton Roads, it actually goes up a little bit more than that. It's part of a somewhat controversial plan that the governor had this past session," said O'Quinn.
That plan is the historical transportation bill passed by the General Assembly in its last session.
With the rising sales and hybrid vehicle taxes, Delegate O'Quinn says Virginia residents won't have to wait long to see what's being paid for with those tax funds. "You're going to see a lot of the road projects that have been in the six-year plan for 20 years now start to actually come to fruition because for so many years the construction fund has had to be used to do maintenance," he explained.
Another new law also became effective Monday: texting while driving is now a primary offense, meaning an officer does not have to pull you over for some other offense in order to ticket you.
The fine for a first-time texting offense is $125.

Wingtip of Joy
"This is the first of a few new oxfords I've bought, and I must say that I was very impressed with the price of this shoe. I loved the color and the sole, so with the great price, I had to jump on it!I was disappointed with the sole being more of a plastic sole than a rubber/silicon sole- but hey, this was half the price of a Doc Marten- so what can you expect? Otherwise, I would have given it a 5 star. 4 is still great, right?"

Spiff shoes with patent shine
"When I saw these shoes online, I was really drawn to the oxford/patent leather combination. At first, I was bummed because the color I wanted (navy) was out of stock in my size, so I ordered the brown instead. When I received them, I was happily surprised. I've gotten a dozen compliments already, and have only worn them twice. SWEET."

JM Family
Auto innovators.
Automotive leaders on a roll with iPhone and custom apps
Diversified automotive company JM Family Enterprises encompasses a number of different businesses: Southeast Toyota Distributors, the world's largest independent Toyota and Scion distributor, JM&A Group, a group of industry-leading finance and insurance products companies, JM Lexus, the world's largest volume Lexus dealership, and World Omni Financial Corp, a diversified financial services provider. It's an $8 billion business—and iPhone is helping navigate the road ahead.
Driven to innovate
From punch cards to mainframes to PCs, JM Family founder Jim Moran believed that technological advances could expand his business. "He was always looking to drive technology," says Ken Yerves, Chief Information Officer of JM Family Enterprises. "He was one of the first to network the dealer population, and he created the first-ever parts ordering and inventory system. He saw television as a medium to communicate, no differently than we look to iPhone as a medium to connect with our customers, business partners, and associates."
Using iPhone and business apps available in the App Store, JM Family associates can resolve important issues wherever and whenever they arise. For example, Yerves says, "I can use iPhone to pull up any of our distributed applications, almost anywhere. It's been a transformation, having information in your hands anytime."
"iPhone bridges the gap between legacy systems and modern technology," says Rajeev Ravindran, Chief Technology Officer. "Our IT folks use iPhone extensively to monitor applications. Our application developers have even fixed code through their iPhones."
Secure mobile access
In the boardroom or in the field, iPhone keeps JM Family associates current on email, calendars, and contacts from the company's Microsoft Exchange server. "Adding calendar appointments or sending email on iPhone is very easy," says Keith DeBickes, Manager of Technology Strategy. "With Outlook integration, everything was already there. And the iPhone setup process is simple. For most of our users, it's pretty much hand over the phone and go."
iPhone also keeps sensitive JM Family company data safe with built-in security features. "We can do a remote wipe. We can put in a password. When we build applications, we're able to encrypt the data on iPhone," Ravindran says. "All these things make it more enterprise-ready than ever."
A family of apps
Integrating iPhone into daily business operations is just one stage of JM Family's mobile strategy. Using the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), an internal R&D team is building proprietary iPhone apps for the business. "iPhone started as a tool for the field force," Yerves says. "Now we have an application that does real-time sales processing. We can see every dealership and district by volume. It started there, and it's propagated into other apps."
"With the apps we've created for iPhone, the whole world's open to us," says Ravindran. "We built an app for our Southeast Toyota dealers that's used by the executives as well as the field associates. You can look up sales by district, see customer satisfaction, and even get training videos."
The company has also developed a suite of iPhone apps that make its extensive benefits— including on-site medical clinics and cafes—more easily accessible to its associates. "At JM Family, associates are our number-one resource," DeBickes says. "We wanted to give them the tools to be successful, and iPhone was essential to doing that. We started with business apps, then looked at things that could make their day easier."
iPhone SDK tools such as the Interface Builder enhance the creative process while simplifying development, DeBickes adds. "We can deliver a stronger user experience without having to worry about things like, 'How do I make this button round?' And the Tab Controller provides a great way to build small apps, then bundle them into one application."
Accelerating ideas
For JM Family's IT staff, it's exciting to be at the forefront of technology with iPhone. But even more exciting is the realization that iPhone-driven innovations are sparking fresh ideas throughout the enterprise.
"IT has gone from supporting things that are broken to becoming business enablers," Ravindran explains. "With iPhone and apps, we're partnering to drive the business in different areas. iPhone opens up avenues to think about technology in a different way."
"Jim Moran was without question an early adopter of technology, and he would want us rolling out a newer technology to gain those efficiencies," says Yerves. "He'd be thrilled. He'd be proud of what we're doing today."

Game No.8: We Want 10! We Want 10!
Kent Wilson
October 24 2010 05:28PM
The gamethread's title was the now infamous chant we all heard in the Shark tank last, during what was likely the most humiliating loss the Flames have suffered in recent memory. The subliminal message layered beneath the Sharks fans non-too-subte mockery was perhaps the more devastating one, however: you're not up to our level, son.
The Flames have been perpetually poised on the cusp of greatness since the run of 2004, without ever really breaking away from the Western Conference middle class. Hopes were high after landing Bouwmeester in the off-season and then leading the division for the first couple of months last year...but the 9-1 loss to the Sharks was truly the dagger in the heart of those aspirations.
After missing the dance last year and without significant changes in the summer, the Flames fanbase is haunted by the fear that the window for the club to actually take that step into the lelite ranks is rapidly coming to a close. Every game against the likes of the Red Wings and Sharks represents another "validity" tests this year; another one of those chances for the Flames to give us a sign they'll stop merely battling for a play-off spot and actually become a contender.
I'm not sanguine about the Flames chances of making the leap this year, but I'm always open to being convinced. The Columbus game seems to have generally soothed anxieties about the club's offense in town, but I remain skeptical: the quality of opposition, as well as the hideousness of it's goaltending, makes me pause in celebrating Calgary's new-found potency. Some blow-outs are earned, with the score a true reflection of the contest. That wasn't true on Friday: the scoring chance count for each club was within range and the Flames didn't run away with anything possession wise. The primary difference between the teams was the Flames shots happened to go in. That seems glib and unsatisfying, but it's the way of things sometimes - there are nights when the bounces favor you and curse the puck-stopper at the other end. This isn't an indictment of Calgary's performance against the BJ's by any means, but I would say that the 6-spot managed by the Flames on Firday isn't necessarily indicative of anything but the struggles of one Steve Mason during an off-night.
The Sharks, on the other hand, are a truer test. They're on the second night of a back-to-back and the Flames are in their own barn, so this is as favorable as this match-up is going to be for Calgary (short of someone knee-capping Thornton, Heatley, Marleau and Pavelski of course). Like in Detroit, the Flames big guns have nowhere to hide this evening: it's either perform or get buried. Here's hoping it's the former this time.
Let's get it going.
October 24 2010, 08:28PM
Wow, Kipper was genuinely excited with the shutout.
@ Kent, absolutely. Great first, and solid 40 minutes afterward, especially as they were protecting the lead. Would have liked to see the Glencross line get a couple of points, they played so well, but hard to complain about that one.
October 24 2010, 10:05PM
I'd say so... they kind of fell asleep a bit in the third, but that's somewhat predictable when you have a four goal lead. I was pretty impressed with their play in the first two periods. Kipper played great again, and it probably could have easily been 5-0 or 6-0.
I love those quick, simple passes they were making at the beginning of the first period. As the game went on, I thought that they fell back into "look for the perfect play" mode, which they unfortunately seem to do all to often (even when they're playing from behind). But all in all, a great night against a solid (although admittedly tired) opponent.

It's Positive Friday, so let's drift off into a fantasy world that doesn't involve another potential lockout involving two sides who can't find a way to split $3.3 billion in gross revenues. I had to get off twitter because I couldn't stomach seeing another, "Bettman, Daly and the two Fehr's have been meeting for an hour," or "Two hours and they are stillllllllllll meeting."
They are meeting, and the meeting lasted two hours, maybe longer. OMG. What's next we will find out Shania Twain lip-synched at the Grey Cup in Edmonton?
Okay, I digress, there will be no more mention of the lockout in the next few paragraphs, and instead I will write with the assumption that in 14 days the Oilers, and every other NHL team, will report to training camp on September 21st. That's a much more positive option for hockey fans.
The Oilers will go through their dreaded medicals on the 21st. Ryan Whitney will post his best results in three years because he actually got to skate in the summer, Theo Peckham's body fat % will be lower, Shawn Horcoff will still be near the top in VO2 tests, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will weigh in at 184. No one will ask him if he thinks he's strong enough to handle NHL defenders, but at some point someone will ask the idiotic question of whether he thinks he'll be able to handle carrying a few extra pounds.
Ales Hemsky's shoulder will be fine, Taylor Hall's recovery has gone well and he's expecting to be ready for opening night, October 13th in Vancouver. The only thing that makes covering medicals remotely exciting for the media or fans is that is signifies a start to another season.
The first on-ice session starts Saturday morning, and 2,000 diehard, extremely excited fans show up at Millenium Place. It is standing room only. Their excitement stems equally from the eternal hope that springs from a new season and how awesome it was that the season started on time.
JJ Hebert, the Oilers media relations guru, is a tad annoyed because after generously giving up his seat to a young fan, he had to go four rows deep and watch practice, but he couldn't see over anyone. (Annoyed at being vertically challenged, not giving his seat to a kid) The always thoughtful Gene Principe sees this and brings over his camera man's 18-inch thick camera case, and Hebert is just as excited as the young Oiler fan now that he can see the ice.
Ralph Krueger oversees his first practice as new head coach, and he's excited to introduce his system and style to the players and fans. Krueger believes in tandems rather than sticking with trios all year, and he trots out some interesting line combinations for the scrimmages.
The best part of training camp is speculating on which combos you'll see.
Teemu Hartikainen gets a boost of energy skating with RNH and Jordan Eberle.
Magnus Paajarvi skates with Sam Gagner and Ales Hemsky.
Nail Yakupov, who can't stop smiling on his first day of training camp, is placed on the left side with Shawn Horcoff and Ryan Jones.
Once this line combo is tweeted out, instantly fans are tweeting that Krueger's an idiot for stifling Yakupov by playing him with Horcoff. The fact it is day one of training camp and past history shows that early-training camp combos/trios rarely last through the pre-season is irrelevant. Fans, bloggers and media have waited six months to debate something, so it's fitting the first "questioning of the coach" revolves around Horcoff.
The NHL is back and Oiler fans are pumped. Wanye awoke from a three-day binder, fueled by Oodle Noodle, beers at the Pint, rants of Eberle's greatness and how his EI cheque still hasn't arrived, just in time to type in a SQUEEEEE after reading a tweet that Eberle went top-shelf on Olivier Roy eight minutes into the first scrimmage.
An upstart blogger will be watching from centre ice and trying his best to chart who was on the ice for each goal, and how many scoring chances happened. After a minute he'll realize it is impossible for one man to chart of all this and he'll fire out a blog stating how the NHL should have stats guys charting these practices so fans can know who has the best Corsi rating during training camp.
Justin Schultz is paired up with Nick Schultz, showing Krueger has a sense of humour while also striking fear into Kevin Quinn and Jack Michaels. Michaels gets a great idea for "Jack Facts," and starts researching how many defensive pairings in the history of the NHL had the same last name. Between researching that and bemoaning another 0-3 start for the Cleveland Browns, he'll be in a great mood.
The Oilers' preseason starts with a home and away series v. the Winnipeg Jets. Monday September 24th, Devan Dubnyk gets the start at home while Yakupov and J. Schultz put on #64 and #19 for the first time. It's a preseason game so Jets' fans are greeted by Oiler fans with smiles and, "Good to have you guys back in Edmonton."
As the preseason winds down Krueger keeps making cuts, and the final few days involve some heavy debate here on the Nation.
Will he keep eight D-men? Who should play with Eberle and RNH?
Will the opening night roster look like this?
Sutton, Potter and Hordichuk in pressbox.
Will Magnus Paajarvi make the team, and if so where will he play? Is it better to play him top-line minutes in OKC to start the season rather than on the 3rd line in Edmonton?
Who will be the surprise of the preseason? Who will struggle the most?
Any guesses on a Positive Friday?
My gut and my head tell me the NHL and NHLPA will find some common ground sooner rather than later, and thankfully we won't have to mention the "L" word on here for much longer.
But until then, I better get back to twitter to see if the Gary, Bill, Steve and Donald are still meeting.
Could you imagine if their meeting is up to three hours?
Suddenly i'm a Jets fan
Dare to dream, Gregor... dare to dream.
Seems like a crowded forward corps. I think it will be tough for Pääjärvi to make that team. I hope he has practiced his gritty game over the summer. I'd rather have him than Petrell tho.
September 07 2012, 12:38PM
@ Gregor: Shania can do anything she wants with those lips.
September 07 2012, 12:38PM
On this Friday, given her tan and complete lack of flybites, I can be positive that this girl isn't from the Peg.
September 07 2012, 12:40PM
Well, that was a fun 5 minutes... dare to dream Nation... dare to dream.
Can I take a first class ride on that jet?
September 07 2012, 12:45PM
I'll be surprised if Hartikainen is in the NHL on opening day. Shocked, in fact.
Unless he's waiver eligible I dont know why he wouldnt be playing in OKC right away on their top line.
Actually, I take that back. Hartikainen COULD be around on opening day, but only because Hall's shoulder wont be ready yet. At least not at >95% which is what I would need for him to be inserted back in the lineup.
I will be ultra pissed if Hall plays on opening night and sustains another shoulder injury because he wasnt ready to play yet.
September 07 2012, 12:47PM
*basks in the joy of such a scene*
Wait! they put Nail with Horcoff??? What the hell is Kruger thinking. He's a terrible coach. FIRE KRUGER! FIRE TAMBS! blah...blah...blah...
Ah, fall at Oilersnation is such a glorious time!
September 07 2012, 01:09PM
My surprise pick of the camp is Fedun making the roster and Potter and J Schultx being sent down. After a few games, the Oilers will have traded some depth and Schultz will be called back up.
September 07 2012, 01:09PM
Oh, and we should hire the Jets marketing guy\gal....that is awesome.
September 07 2012, 01:29PM
I guess at least we won't have to worry about Hall being good to go by the time the season rolls around . . .
September 07 2012, 01:56PM
My problem with our roster as it currently stands is the bottom six just doesn't seem like a good compliment for the top 6. We all know that the Oilers have been far too easy to play against in the past. Right now, our fourth line is basically the same as last season. I think that Paajarvi is a capable NHL player but as of right now, I would rather have Teemu in the lineup because he is more of a pest and is not afraid to finish his checks. Either way, I hope that we can have these types of debates for real in the near future.
On this Friday, given her tan and complete lack of flybites, I can be positive that this girl isn't from the Peg.
Don't be so sure. You don't know what she smells like or how much facial hair she has. There's still every possibility she is from Winnipeg and just happened to find the only tanning salon in town.
Yakupov Horcoff and Jones should be fine, just have Horcoff stay out of the offensive zone. Jones figured out near the end of his time on a line with RNH and Eberle: give the puck to the skilled player and go sit in front of the net. When (if?) N64 turns the puck over Horcoff can cover for him and give it back.

Never date girls from Manitoba, even if they shave their mustache.
September 07 2012, 03:59PM
As much as I think we need a physical presence in the top six like Harti, Id rather have him in Petrell's spot.
Assuming no more trades or signings take place.
Hall(Physical presence @ 20?) Rnh Ebs. Hemsky Gags Yak(Physical presence @ 18?). Smyth Horc Jones. Harti Belanger Eager
Whitney-Petry Smid-J.Schultz N.Schultz-Sutton
Potter Peckham Hordi Petrell in box
Dubnyk starts Khabbi posts a .920 sv% all season in 30 games.
I know that's 24 players, but I like Harti more than Petrell so there. Throw someone on waivers if you have to.
I'm confident that the lack of size in the top six will not affect Ebs or Nuge. They are both too smart and too slippery.
It's the other four I'm worried about.
September 07 2012, 04:34PM
@Quicksilver ballet
That is said like a man who's never been there! I've flown through the Peg frequently and find their hot to not-hot ladies ratio is outstanding!
September 07 2012, 04:37PM
I was reading fine until I got to the Jets logo.......has it changed?
You forgot to mention........still cant get over the Jets logo!!
September 07 2012, 05:22PM
I can't believe there a) isn't an oilers bikini out there somewhere or b) Wayne hasn't strategically photoshopped Ebs's face you know...somewhere
September 07 2012, 06:22PM
My surprise pick of the camp is Fedun making the roster and Potter and J Schultx being sent down. After a few games, the Oilers will have traded some depth and Schultz will be called back up.
J. Schultz won't be touring lovely downtown OKC anytime soon, future trade or no future trade. He'll be 2nd pairing before Christmas if not before.
You may well be right about Potter.
If it were last year, Fedun may well have made the club, never to look back. I hope you're right about this year but he's in tough, especially with what's coming up through the system over the next 5 years.
Once the braintrust figures out the 3rd and 4th lines, (size, grit, determination and will,) and once the Klefboms, Marincins, Gernats, Teuberts, Plants, Musils, Simpsons etc. sort themselves out, the Oil will be a force for years. One proviso only: They have to control the cap. If they do, well, maybe it is that we are once again the city of champions.

Shouldn't be a problem since Hall willalmost certainly be at least 95% by opening night.
Given that opening night should be sometime late November. *SIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHH*

If there were to be a lockout and Harper enacted back to work legislation, don't you think he would become the most popular leader in Canadian history?
September 08 2012, 02:39PM
I know it was just for fun, but Hartikanen on the 1st line makes about as much sense as JFJ did.
