AP - Archaeologists said Monday they have found a cave where they
believe John the Baptist anointed many of his disciples — a huge
cistern with 28 steps leading to an underground pool of water.

AP: Israel Cave Linked to John the Baptist (AP)08/16/2004 08:11 PM AP - Archaeologists think they've found a cave where John the Baptist
baptized many of his followers — basing their theory on thousands
of shards from ritual jugs, a stone used for foot cleansing and wall
carvings telling the story of the biblical preacher.
This story reflects
several problematic tendencies in the popular (biblical)
archaeological market. We get their textual siblings over in literary
historiography, so I’m not casting stones only at the other
interpreters. But there have been heaps of hermits (I just spent way
too much time trying to devise a collective noun for anchorites) in
the Judean wilderness about whom we know absolutely nothing. We happen
to know a little about one of them: John. So when an archaeologist
finds a hermit’s cave that fits what we might expect
John’s cave to have looked like, someone draws the inference
that it actually was John’s cave.

Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown
Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown03/15/2003 06:05 AM KALW in San Francisco did an hour
long radio interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown,
the American Foreign Service officers who resigned over Bush's Iraq
policy. Both are impressive speakers, and Kiesling is as articulate
and as convincing as his letter:
If we can't convince
our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way
we are going to be able to convince the Arab world.
People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do
what we can to keep our consciences clean.
There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it.
"America is still the safest country in the world. The
administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror
and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our
strength to do good and we can do good."
Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's
comment, 'Never launch a product in August.' War is not a
product."

Ukranian cave system that hid Jews from Nazis for nearly a year
Ukranian cave system that hid Jews from Nazis for nearly a year07/22/2004 12:52 AM This is an incredible National Geographic piece on the exploration of
the Priest's Grotto, a cave system in the Ukraine where 38 Jews hid
from the Nazis for nearly a year.
Once inside, Nicola marveled at not only the remarkable natural
features of the cave but signs of human presence, including walls and
old shoes and walls made of stones...
"It's amazing," Nicola told National Geographic News. "When I go into
a cave I have special boots, because an ankle sprain deep in a cave
could be serious business. I have special wicking underwear, so I
don't get hypothermia, a special suit, special gloves for gripping
things. I have three independent light sources—that's a standard
rule. This is all for a day trip into a cave, and yet this is a
situation where average people lived here for nearly a year."...
Chuck Baldwin, prominent Baptist pastor: "The Religious Right Scares Me"
Chuck Baldwin, prominent Baptist pastor: "The Religious Right Scares Me"12/22/2004 01:19 AM Dr. Chuck Baldwin, vice-presidential candidate on the Constitution
Party ticket in the 2004 U.S. election, wrote a “Food For
Thought From The Chuck Wagon” entitled I Am A Conservative
Christian, And The Religious Right Scares Me, Too. Chuck Baldwin
starts off demonstrating his Christian roots, e.g.I am currently in my
thirtieth year as the Senior Pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church
(Independent) in Pensacola, Florida.Then he explains his opposition to
the "Religious Right."Sadly, the Religious Right is now a movement
without a cause, except the cause of advancing the Republican
Party.[...] I used to believe that liberals were paranoid for being
fearful of conservative Christians gaining political power. Now, I
share their trepidation.

Reading The Times' Circuits
section invariably causes a single metallic tear to vent from my
society-integration hardware, wetting my dome. Sometimes it's from the
cognitive trauma of trying to parse whether or not they're even
talking about technology anymore or just repurposing old articles from
the Steamer Tramp Watch column or something, but sometimes --
rare, precious times -- I get misty as I watch them discover something
for the first time, as a retarded child waking from a coma would
marvel at a flower, or toilet paper, fawning over and cuddling and
gleefully showing the new technology to us. This week's blissful
bursting into awareness? Motherfucking USB. Awwww. (Thanks

XM Discovers The Internet
XM Discovers The Internet09/15/2004 01:39 PM Well, it took them quite a while, but it appears that the folks at XM
Radio have finally realized that internet radio might be a bit of
competition for them, and have decided to start offering an
internet radio service themselves. They offer discounts to those
who also subscribe to their satellite radio service, but you have to
wonder if someone at XM Radio is slapping his or her head realizing
here was a way to offer radio without having to spend so much
initially on launching satellites, ensuring that the company won't
make money for many, many years. In the meantime, it's worth noting
that this is the same XM Radio that just pulled
a receiver off the market because (gasp!) they realized people
could record their stations to computers, and they were afraid that
the RIAA would sue them. Apparently, the folks at XM Radio haven't
heard of stream
ripping for online radio stations. Update: As a few people
have pointed out, this new service, more than fear over ripping, may
explain why XM pulled the service that let people move the satellite
service to their PCs. Again, though, this seems short-sighted. Why
not give your customers as many options as possible?
