Imagine a Dartmouth economics prof giving a talk in Texas about the "cowboy doctor problem."
Whoa, Nelly, writes Carey Goldberg on the WBUR Boston CommonHealth blog.
Jonathan Skinner, the Dartmouth prof, says "cowboy doctors were associated with nearly 60 percent greater spending among patients near the end of life."
A paper Skinner co-authored for the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that 36 percent of end-of-life spending, and 17 percent of U.S. health care spending, are associated with physician beliefs unsupported by clinical evidence. Or what could be a half-a-trillion-dollar problem.
Another Dartmouth team, Drs. Steve Woloshin and Lisa Schwartz, got into a debate over the safety of 2 weight-loss drugs recently approved by the FDA. Medscape says the debate or disagreement "has escalated in the pages of a major medical journal" – JAMA Internal Medicine. Excerpt:
"Drs. Woloshin and Schwartz wrote that both drugs – lorcaserin (Belviq, Eisai) and phentermine-topiramate (Qysmia, Vivus) – have been associated with "serious harm" and pointed out that neither has been approved in Europe due to safety concerns. And, they added, the postmarketing safety studies the FDA required of both companies were behind schedule. "Until there is more convincing evidence about the cardiovascular safety of these drugs, physicians and patients should approach them with caution," they concluded.
On August 4, 2014, representatives from 2 obesity organizations responded in letters to the journal accusing Drs. Woloshin and Schwartz of trivializing obesity and also refuted many of their statements, both in matters of opinion and of fact. Steven R. Smith, MD, president of the Obesity Society, wrote one of the letters and Theodore K. Kyle and Joseph Nadglowski Jr., both of the Obesity Action Coalition, wrote the other."
Also in JAMA Internal Medicine are two papers by Dr. Joseph Ross of Yale, which were praised by Dr. Richard Lehman in his weekly journal review blog for The BMJ. Lehman wrote:
Once more it is time to praise Joe Ross. He has two articles waiting to see print in JAMA Internal. The first one tracks the continuing use of ezetimibe in the United States following the ENHANCE trial, which demonstrated that ezetimibe use lowered cholesterol levels, but did not slow the progression of atherosclerosis. He and his team looked at the records of 10?597?296 continuously eligible adults in the USA, and found that nearly three years after ezetimibe had been shown to do nothing, 186?272 of them were still ezetimibe users, i.e. 1.8% of the total adult population.
His second shorter paper looks at how many of the pivotal trials that led to FDA approval of new agents have been published in peer reviewed biomedical journals. They all should be, of course, together with full de-identified data so we can all see whether these new treatments really work. But 14% are not even published in summary form.

I'm 61, in mediocre shape at the moment because we've been getting our house ready to sell, so I've only done about 25 percent of my normal summer mileage this season. Gained 20 pounds, and now that we're about done, I'm looking forward to decent workouts again. I don't have any doubt that I'll be able to lose the weight (though it does get a lot harder as you get older), and I expect to come close to my pre-layoff performance by early spring.
Reading this forum, though, I get a sense that a lot of people over 50 fret about the frailties of age more than I do. That's not criticism--really, I wonder if I'm missing something, if I should be MORE concerned than I am.
I know I can't do what I could 30 or even 10 years ago, but I'm content to do what I can do. I never worry about going off on day-long solo rides, or about taking my mountain bike into fairly remote areas of the Tahoe National Forest (a couple of miles from my front door). I'm not macho about it--I tell my wife where I'll be and when I expect to be back, and at her insistence I've finally started carrying a cell phone, though I keep it turned off. But I've only called for help on a couple of occasions, when something went wrong that I couldn't fix or jury-rig, and unless my situation changes dramatically, I don't see myself changing that. I carry tools and emergency equipment, and part of the fun and challenge of cycling is being able to deal with what comes up.
Am I stuck in adolescence and denial, or are there others post-50 who just don't sweat it that much?

Two first-half goals did the trick for the Shrimpers, who might have added more.
They took the lead in the 13th minute as Asa Hall's poor clearance was pounced on by Conor Clifford, who hammered home a right-foot shot from 18 yards.
Dave Kitson went close for Oxford with a 30-yard drive that whistled past a post and Johnny Mullins had a header saved.
But Southend made it 2-0 on 30 minutes when centre back Luke Prosser was unmarked as he rose to meet Kevan Hurst's free-kick from deep and he headed down and past Ryan Clarke with ease.
Despite their lofty position, Oxford have managed just one home win this season.
James Constable, Michael Raynes and Mullins all went close with headers in the second half for the U's, while Cauley Woodrow missed a gilt-edged chance to make it 3-0 for Phil Brown's team.

Actress Mahek Chahal, born and brought up in Norway, is excited to hear that Hema Malini has the honour of being on a Norwegian stamp. She says Hema Malini deserves more recognition.
"I have grown up watching Hemaji's films. When I got the news of this felicitation by the country that I call home, I was extremely elated. She deserves many such honours," the 33-year-old said in a statement.
"I wish I could have been a part of the Bollywood festival (in Norway), which happens every year, as it would have been such a great moment to see Hemaji receive this felicitation," she added.

aw so gorgeous want to squeeze and cover his delicate body with kisses
mmmMM-! he got that rude rich cutie aura-! *-*
aweesooomeee ;=;
aweesooomeee ;=;
My favorite androgynous model!
Lovely pic, however, I notice drawings of him look more feminine than he actually looks
Damn! I love this dude. So glad to see this beautiful art!
looks like no min woo
you forgot his upper lip markings ><
You are talent
you've done a beautiful work of him ... i'm guessing this is your version of Andrej Pejic? ... you've done him so well that i'm able to see what he would look like with shorter moveable hair, and omg, i am a huge fan of long haired males, but if it is possible at all for him to be more beautiful than he already is, then this shorter hair version would be it ... absolutely stunning. he loses nothing of his androgynous beauty, in fact, for me, it is even more pronounced here as we can see more clearly that he is MALE and enjoy the REAL androgynous look of him. Whereas, currently, with his long hair, he is so often mistaken for a female that I think many miss the androgynous beauty and might, keyword: might, just see him as just another pretty girl ... his true beauty is in knowing he's male and yet bending the gender line with his female look and I think, after admiring this art, it is more present here than in his latest modeling spots. .. spot on, luv!!!!!!
I love the hair
*khóc ròng* *tym bay mất*
You make a beauty even more beautiful... be proud of your talent and accept my humble appreciation of your great work!
Andrej Pejic is unique and you give him an eternal quality.

Schools Crunch Calculus of Stimulus
Schools struggling with some of their worst budget crises in generations are taking stock of President Obama's stimulus package -- hoping the money will restore funding for things like textbooks, teacher salaries and tuition.
The $100 billion in funding dedicated to education touches programs for almost every age group, from early-childhood programs to financial aid for college students. While the money, part of the $787 billion stimulus package, may not result in a full turnaround, districts say, it will help stop some of the bleeding.
"It's going to mean a softer landing for us," says Jack O'Connell, state superintendent of public instruction in California. That state is facing an $11.6 billion cutback in public-education funding, affecting the remainder of this school year as well as next. In some cases, Mr. O'Connell says, "instead of a superintendent having to decide between textbooks or a math teacher, we'll be able to do both. Or, it will mean a longer bus ride for kids, instead of eliminating transportation."
When addressing education in the stimulus package, the president last week told a joint session of Congress, "We have provided the resources necessary to prevent painful cuts and teacher layoffs that would set back our children's progress."
In addition to the stimulus plan, President Obama last week issued a budget proposal for fiscal 2010 that adds large increases in education funding that speak to longer-term administration priorities. Among the many education initiatives, this plan would ensure that Pell Grants for higher education keep pace with inflation and would have the federal government take over most student-lending programs. Still, the overall budget plan is sure to be altered as Congress deliberates the specifics.
In the coming days, the Education Department will issue more detailed guidelines on how and when the stimulus money can be used, a department spokesman said. Meanwhile, school administrators are already drafting plans on how they would allocate their allotment of stimulus funds. Here are some highlights:
Early Childhood
The law provides $5 billion for early-childhood programs, including the federally funded Head Start for low-income families. That includes $2 billion for states to use in child care and development. Of that amount, $255 million will be set aside for "quality improvement," addressing concerns that some states don't require teachers to have a high-school education or don't abide by generally accepted standards in their class-size requirements.
Joanne Hurt, executive director of Wonders Childcare, a chain of nonprofit day-care centers in the Washington, D.C., area, says she will likely apply for assistance that covers annual teacher training -- which runs about $300 a year per teacher -- and background checks, which would help keep costs in check for parents. "It would alleviate budget pressures and stabilize our tuition so we wouldn't have to increase it at the rate we have been," says Ms. Hurt. Full-time care at Wonders ranges from $1,200 a month for 4-year olds to $1,800 a month for infants and toddlers.
The stimulus package "means a lot," says Linda Smith, executive director for the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, pointing out that it doubles the existing federal child-care funding for states over a two-year period. She hopes the money will prompt states to step up their requirements and regulations. "When programs get federal money of any kind, they should be licensed, inspected, there should be training and background checks," she says.
In Oklahoma, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sandy Garrett hopes to use some of the stimulus money for repairs and renovations at some facilities. The state offers free pre-kindergarten programs for 4-year-olds -- which has led to a dramatic increase in the number of children who enroll. That growth has meant that some classes have been relocated away from the elementary school and sometimes into less-modern facilities, Ms. Garrett says.
Grades K-12
The law calls for distribution of $53.6 billion in "stabilization" funds that will go to states to help avert further education cuts. In Massachusetts, the Lynn Public School District may use some of the stimulus money to pay back teachers, who worked without pay for one day this year to save the district $500,000 for books and supplies. The Atlanta Public School District, whose general fund is expected to decline to $640 million next school year from the current $661 million, says that the stabilization funds will help save teaching jobs and avert potential cuts to programs, such as professional-development workshops for teachers and student counseling.
At the Indianapolis Public Schools, school officials have created a "working document" over the past two weeks to identify structural priorities in their 72 school buildings that could be addressed with stimulus money. "Frankly, it's student safety," says spokeswoman Mary Louise Bewley. "Things like ensuring exterior doors are working well."
Included in the stimulus package is up to $33.6 billion toward school modernization, as well as $2 billion toward investments, such as administrative data systems. This is a huge boost, education advocates say, because states and districts haven't been equipped with systems to help them track progress adequately, and therefore "haven't had solid evidence to make decisions," says Amy Wilkins, vice president for government affairs at the Education Trust, a nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Until now, much has been "based on ideology and not evidence."
Another $12 billion is set aside specifically for programs related to students with disabilities. Ricki Sabia, associate director of the National Down Syndrome Society Policy Center, says she hopes that the additional funding will help school districts further integrate students with disabilities into regular classrooms. "It should be more than a chair," she says.
In Maryland, administrators with the Montgomery County Public School system say they have seen an increase in the types of students' special needs. For instance, the number of autistic students has risen 19% to 1,308, from a year ago. At the same time, the district has been forced to cut back, with more than $120 million in budget reductions planned next year. That cut may have been deeper, but the injection of federal funds adds an estimated $21.4 million a year to the budget, including $15.3 million in special-ed funding, for the next two years. In special-ed, this allows the district to save 25 teachers, plus hire 67 more teachers and 39 aides.
Higher Education
The stimulus law increases Pell Grants for low-income students to a maximum of $5,350 from the current $4,731. At Trinity Washington University, a private women's college in Washington, D.C., 60% of students are Pell-eligible, so "$500 can be the difference in whether [a student] can provide books and stay in school," says President Pat McGuire.
It also provides an additional $200 million boost for the federal work-study program, where the government and colleges provide funds to pay students who work part-time. Work-study jobs can help students perform better than off-site jobs, because often they keep students on campus. "That student is more likely to be surrounded by co-workers who understand the need to study, who might ask how the calculus exam was yesterday," says Ms. McGuire. She expects the additional funds will help the school increase its hourly rate of pay.
At Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ky., President Jay McGowan says $260,000 of federal money currently helps defray tuition for 173 students in the work-study program. He estimates that the stimulus will mean another $50,000 to $100,000, which he says will help more students participate in the program.
In addition, the stimulus package expands the current tax credit for tuition and fees to a maximum of $2,500 from the current $1,800. It also allows families to make up to $180,000 to qualify, from the current $116,000.

Site was exactly as promised. Only issue is the "convenience fee" from merchant: $4 coupon minus $2.70 fee equals a $1.30 discount, so, not impressive (my opinion). Hopefully, will not have a "convenience fee" with other merchants that participate in this program; looking forward to trying again with the outcome as much more impressive.

The accused was a slight, frightened man who had deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus. The chief gladiators were two great legal giants of the century. Like two bull elephants locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was the freedom of every American. One of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation. "a tidal wave of a drama." --New York World-Telegram And Sun

Nice recipe
From the reviews, it sounds like ex nay the tortillas.
Perhaps tortilla chips might be better?
Also if you read the directions on how to cook,
it calls for to add beans and tomatoes.
But the list of ingredients does not mention tomatoes.
It only say's salsa.
Is that what it means?
Other than that, sounds good I will have to try it.
The tortilla was a wet blanket. It was soggy and awful. Luckily I was able to remove them with little trouble. I was fortunate to have tortilla chips on hand to salvage and redistribute to the family as a dip. I may make it again as a dip,but definitely not as directed.

The majority of the papers included in this volume were presented at the international workshop Technologies of Race: Eugenics, Biopolitics and Nation-Building in Interwar Europe, held at the Central European University in Budapest between 28 and 29 June 2004. The workshop was generously sponsored by Pasts, Inc. Centre for Historical Studies in Budapest, in collaboration with the History Department of the CEU, the Wellcome Trust, and the Department of History, Oxford Brookes University.
First and foremost, I should like to express my gratitude to Sorin Antohi, the director of Pasts, Inc., for his support, generosity and guidance before, during and after the workshop. Equally important, he is responsible for initiating the idea of the publication of this volume. His advice and encouragement of this project has proved invaluable.
Thanks are also due to László Kontler, the then head of the History Department at CEU, for his support. Without Zsuzsanna Macht, the administrative assistant in the History Department, and Dávid Marno, former assistant to the director of Pasts, Inc., the workshop would not have been a success.
I owe especial thanks to the copy-editor of this volume, Katya A. M. Kocourek from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in London (SSEES), who graciously accepted the difficult, and at times seemingly insurmountable, task of copy-editing the first version of the manuscript. A generous grant from the Institute of Historical and Cultural Studies at Oxford Brookes University made Katya's editorial work possible. I should also like to express my gratitude to Elisabeth Jay, the Institute's director, for her assistance.
Matt Feldman deserves special gratitude for his careful reading of the final version of the manuscript. His suggestions and comments have helped to improve both the clarity and the quality of most papers included in this volume. I am also grateful to Diane B. Paul for her constructive criticisms and comments.

The singer Jean Ritchie died on Monday. When I was still regularly playing guitar and singing, her song "The L & N Don't Stop Here Any More" was one of my favorites.
But what does she have to do with the study of the Bible? Something she wrote about the culture in which she grew up struck me, and still strikes me, as important for Bible scholars to keep in mind. The Cumberland Mountains, where she was from, bear a certain resemblance — at least stratigraphically — to the central highlands of Canaan/Israel/Palestine, where Israelite culture took form. Here's what Ritchie wrote, and what I cited in my doctoral dissertation and my book Theologies of the Mind:
It was always a wonder to me how families living close to one another could sing the same song and sing it so different. Or how one family would sing a song among themselves for years, and their neighbor family never know that song at all. Most curious of all was how one member of a family living in a certain community could have almost a completely different set of songs than his cousins living a few miles away.
[Jean Ritchie, Singing Family of the Cumberlands (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1955; repr. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1988), 128]
It's worth remembering that much of what we have from ancient Israel is just the way that particular text was preserved in the "holler" where one small group lived. It might have been quite different one holler over.

On the long Saturday afternoons during the summer, I invite friends to come over to my house at 5 PM and spend a couple of hours reading the Bible with me. We have snacks and drinks; it's our version of the traditional "Third Meal" (סעודה שלישית or, in Yiddish, shalishides) eaten toward the end of the Sabbath. We're getting toward the end of 2 Kings this summer, and our reading yesterday, in 2 Kings 19, helped me start to think about the book of Isaiah. Let me explain.
The situation in 2 Kings 19 is that Jerusalem is under siege by the Assyrians. A representative of King Sennacherib has threatened the people inside the city that they will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine if they don't surrender. (See The Bible's Many Voices, p. 42, for more on this threat.)
Hezekiah's advisers turn to the prophet Isaiah for advice:
2Kings 19:5
When King Hezekiah's ministers came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master as follows: Thus said the LORD: Do not be frightened by the words of blasphemy against Me that you have heard from the minions of the king of Assyria. 7 I will delude him; he will hear a rumor and return to his land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his land."
Isaiah reassures the king that God will not let Jerusalem fall into the hands of the Assyrians. But King Sennacherib sends a further message, which boils down to this: "Do not let your God, on whom you are relying, mislead you into thinking that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of Assyria" (2 Kgs 19:10). King Hezekiah brings the Assyrian threat to the Temple and prays to God to save the city. Immediately, Isaiah sends a message of his own to Hezekiah, with this oracle — primarily in God's own voice — directed against Sennacherib:
21 "Fair Maiden Zion despises you,
She mocks at you;
Fair Jerusalem shakes
Her head at you.
22 Whom have you blasphemed and reviled?
Against whom made loud your voice
And haughtily raised your eyes?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Through your envoys you have blasphemed my Lord.
Because you thought,
'Thanks to my vast chariotry,
It is I who have climbed the highest mountains,
To the remotest parts of the Lebanon,
And have cut down its loftiest cedars,
Its choicest cypresses,
And have reached its remotest lodge,
Its densest forest.
24 It is I who have drawn and drunk the waters of strangers;
I have dried up with the soles of my feet
All the streams of Egypt.'
25 Have you not heard?
Of old I planned that very thing,
I designed it long ago,
And now have fulfilled it.
And it has come to pass,
Laying waste fortified towns
In desolate heaps.
26 Their inhabitants are helpless,
Dismayed and shamed.
They were but grass of the field
And green herbage,
Grass of the roofs that is blasted
Before the standing grain.
27 I know your stayings
And your goings and comings,
And how you have raged against Me.
28 Because you have raged against Me,
And your tumult has reached My ears,
I will place My hook in your nose
And My bit between your jaws;
And I will make you go back by the road
By which you came.
(New Jewish Publication Society translation)
As one of the group said, that passage has some phrases (especially vv. 25 and 28) that are very reminiscent of God's speeches at the end of the book of Job. But — as I knew — that also means it's reminiscent of Second Isaiah (see pp. 209 and 313 of The Bible's Many Voices). I'll do a Beginners' Guide post on Second Isaiah in the future, but for now (as I told my friends yesterday) you should know that chapters 40 and following of the book of Isaiah are NOT in the voice of Isaiah of Jerusalem, but of an anonymous prophet from the time of the return to Jerusalem during the Persian period. See, for example, Isa 45:1, "Thus said the LORD to Cyrus, His anointed one." The book of the original prophet of Isaiah closes with Isaiah 35. The intervening chapters, 36-39, are a kind of appendix to that book — another version, more-or-less exactly the same, of the material that is also found in the historical telling of 2 Kgs 18:13-20:19.
One of the bigger questions that biblical scholarship has left on its plate is the question of how the quite different voice of Second Isaiah was put together with the prophecies of Isaiah of Jerusalem in a single book, without there being any indication that the two prophets were separated by 200 years of history. The facts that
• Isaiah of Jerusalem is quoted in the book of Kings, but in a voice that reminds us of Second Isaiah, and
• precisely this material is found in the book of Isaiah linking the two prophets
must be a clue that will lead us to the answer to this question.
Since — as I also say in The Bible's Many Voices (see p. 12) — it is quite probable that it was Isaiah's successful prediction that led the Israelites to begin collecting the material that now makes up our Bible, the forging of the complete book of Isaiah from these two powerful voices is most likely an integral part of the story of why the Bible exists at all.
Thanks, friends. I'm eager to see what we'll learn together next Saturday.
As promised in my earlier post on Joshua 10, the story of the sun standing still, I'm now posting my review of Zakovitch & Shinan's From Gods to God.
Here's a link to the nicely formatted PDF of the review, courtesy of H-Net, the humanities network. But I've also included it in plain text below. Bottom line: It's interesting and readable.

What the Bible Says—and What It Didn't Want to Say
It has long been understood by scholars, if not necessarily by the wider public, that biblical stories are not journalism, attempting to report on events detail by detail as they happened and conversations word for word as they actually took place. But this, of course, implies that the biblical stories were shaped with particular purposes in mind.
In their new book, biblicist Yair Zakovitch and his Hebrew University colleague Avigdor Shinan, a scholar of rabbinic literature, attempt to reveal the stories behind the stories–not the historical events (if any) that may lie behind a particular biblical tale, but the stories that were originally told about these events before the Bible froze them into one particular version. Their position is that many biblical stories are framed as they are in an attempt to eliminate or confute earlier, "unwanted" traditions. Their method for doing this is "literary archaeology" (p. 7), employing three strategies: identifying duplicate traditions within the Bible, considering traditions from the "pagan" world, and examining a story's subsequent renditions in post-biblical literature. (It is interesting that this procedure closely matches Avi Hurvitz' methodology for identifying Late Biblical Hebrew; perhaps it is simply a matter of parallel evolution.)
The book is divided into four sections, "The World of Myth," "Cult and Sacred Geography," "Biblical Heroes and Their Biographies" (the longest of them), and "Relations between Men and Women," but it really consists of thirty more or less independent chapters that have been grouped under these headings. In the original Hebrew publication, That's Not What the Good Book Says (2004), each chapter's heading is actually a question, e.g., "What Happened to the Sun at Gibeon?" The extremely readable translation by Valerie Zakovitch sometimes echoes these question-titles but sensibly does not insist on doing so; in this case, the title reads "The Hero Who Stopped the Sun." I looked in the original volume in vain for information about where in the popular press these chapters were originally published; they very much give the impression of magazine or more high-brow newspaper columns that have been collected here in a single volume.
But this structure should not be considered a flaw. The overall message of the book does not depend on a sustained argument, but rather on the treatment that the authors give it, building a mosaic that uses the details of each, or any, particular story to create the overall impression that "[b]eneath the biblical narrator's words … it seems that we still hear the rush of older currents, of more ancient belief systems" (p. 25). Nor should the book's readability and popular character keep it out of the hands of scholars, even biblical scholars, who will find details worth considering in almost every chapter.
It is all too easy to think of "Bible stories" rather than of the stories as they are actually told in the Bible. A case in point is chapter 5, already mentioned, about the sun stopping over Gibeon in Joshua 10. Zakovitch and Shinan's discussion of this story takes us through Ps 77:17-19 and a parallel text, Hab 3:10-11, on through Ben Sira and 4QapocrJosha, to the Babylonian Talmud and Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer, with a stop along the way in Judges 14. The argument of the chapter is that the original story of Joshua stopping the sun "was stifled in the book of Joshua because of its mythical character: the attribution of divine powers to a mortal being" (p. 62).
The reader benefits from this sort of closer look at a story in two ways. First, though some of the authors' side trips will be obvious to the knowledgeable reader, not all will be. I, for one, had not made a connection between Timnah of the Samson story in Judges 14 and Timnath-heres, where Joshua is buried in Jud 2:9. Yet Samson is of course Shimshon, "Sunman," and in Jud 14:18 the Philistines answer Samson's riddle just before "sunset," where "sun" is not shemesh but heres. Moreover, in chapter 21 Zakovitch and Shinan will remind us that Samson lived between Zorah and Eshtaol, where Beit Shemesh is located, though the stories never mention that name. This is just one example of how each chapter of the book magnetically aligns various biblical texts (here about the sun, elsewhere about snakes or some other topic) toward a particular story in ways that can offer a fresh perspective.
Secondly, with thirty opportunities, it is likely that everyone will find places in this book where the overall discussion of a biblical text will lead to a new understanding of it, or at the very least to new questions. Sticking with the story of Joshua 10, I found myself asking for the first time not only whether it was Joshua or God who had stopped the sun (the primary subject of Zakovitch and Shinan's chapter) but also how to understand the mention of the moon in Josh 10:13 and (most significantly) why the sun had to stop at all in this version of the story.
The overall message of the book–that some of the texts in the Bible are responding polemically to earlier versions of the same stories that were well known in Israelite times, and that rabbinic and other later texts sometimes move those earlier versions back into public view–has been presented elsewhere in the scholarly literature, notably in Michael Fishbane's Biblical Myth and Rabbinic Mythmaking (2005). But it is still not generally realized among those who are not biblical scholars, and this book can potentially remedy that.
The reader who is so inclined will find plenty here to disagree with. Were the story of David and Bathsheba and the details of Esther's relationship with Ahasuerus really modeled on the three stories somewhat misleadingly known as "the matriarch of Israel in danger" in Genesis 12, 20, and 26, as chapter 25 of the book claims? And the larger perspectives of the various biblical books considered individually receive no attention here. Saying that "An early story about David and Abigail, a story about a passionate meeting between an impulsive warrior and a married, unfaithful woman, became transformed in the Bible into a story about a wise woman and a hero who conquers his impulsive passions" (p. 258) does not, to my mind, really come to grips with why 1 Samuel 25 is presenting the future founder of the Judahite royal dynasty as the head of an outlaw gang that runs a rural protection racket.
The overall perspective, too–at least as the authors sum it up in the epilogue–does not convince me. Their claim that the traditions that existed before the Bible came into being "needed to be adapted and refined in order to make them suit the lofty ideals of monotheism, to elevate them to the morals and value system that the Bible sought to instill in its readers" (p. 267), or that the "loftier aim" of the biblical writers was "to educate a nation, purify its beliefs, cleanse it of the dust of idolatry and myth, and wash it of vulgar expressions and faulty morality" (p. 268) describes just a small part of the Bible that I know. Perhaps this kind of moralistic overstatement is the spoonful of sugar that will make it palatable to the more religious lay readers of the book.
But the book's value does not, after all, lie in the accumulation of such claims, but rather in the places where Shinan the midrashist and Zakovitch the pashtan, chapter after chapter, deploy their intelligence and erudition to focus our attention on the details in every biblical story that demand further study. If you have never paid serious attention to the seemingly minor family drama in 1 Chr 7:20-24, this book will convince you that you must do so: "Anecdotes such as this one are proof that readers must listen not only to the forceful, central current of the biblical narrative but also to the smaller rivulets of traditions that ripple more quietly: it is these traditions that preserve divergent and even disparate points of view that escaped the stronger current's sweeping flood" (p. 162).
The Hebrew version has a sequel, Once Again: That's Not What the Good Book Says (2009), in which the authors turn their attention more fully to the afterlife of biblical stories. Here the most comparable volumes would most likely be James Kugel's The Bible As It Was (1999) and Traditions of the Bible: A Guide to the Bible As It Was at the Start of the Common Era (1999). The evidence of the volume we now have makes me eager to see this new volume in an English translation too. It will be a welcome reminder that you can get more out of the Bible when you read between the lines.
Today I'm going to take a look at one of the mysterious minor characters in the Bible — Shamgar ben Anat.
We first meet him in the last verse of Judges 3. That chapter begins by explaining that the non-Israelites who remained in Canaan had deliberately been left there by God, who wanted to keep the Jews on their toes militarily (and also wanted to have some enemies of theirs around when it became necessary to punish them).
The first part of Judges 3 tells how Israel was rescued from King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim (you could call him King Shame-on-ya from Mesopotamia) by Othniel the Kenizzite, the first "judge."
Time out here for a word or two about the "judges" (שופטים, shoftim) that the book of Judges is named after. Do not think of someone wearing a wig or holding a gavel. The word might better be translated as "magistrates" — that is, people who were not in any sense "royal" but who ruled whatever area of the country they could control and who issued "rulings" (משפטים, mishpatim) as a way of governing. NJPS calls them "chieftains," which is more anthropological but otherwise pretty much the same thing.
Othniel was the first of these chieftains, and his story is followed in Judges 3 by that of Ehud, who because he was left-handed was able to surprise King Eglon of Moab, the oppressor of Israel in those days, and kill him. He became the next chieftain of Israel. Judges 4 and 5 tell at great length of Deborah, who was both a prophet and also a chieftain of Israel. But after Ehud's story and before Deborah's comes this one verse:
Judg. 3:31
After him came Shamgar son of Anath, who slew six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too was a champion of Israel.
Shamgar is not specifically described here as a "judge," but two things tell us that he was one. First, he came "after" Ehud — that is, ruled after him. Second, he "was a champion of Israel" (in the NJPS translation); more precisely, he "saved" or "delivered" Israel: ויושע גם הוא את ישראל. This is the verb that the "judges" of the book of Judges do:
Judg. 2:16
Then the LORD raised up judges, who delivered [ויושיעום] them out of the power of those who plundered them.
To "deliver" (hoshia) makes you a מושיע, a moshia or "savior."
But who was this Shamgar? His name is not Semitic (too many consonants, for one thing), and he is described as "son of Anat" — a Canaanite goddess! Walter Maier, in the Anchor Bible Dictionary, explains:
Shamgar, a mighty fighter in Judges (3:31; 5:6), is designated ben anat, "the son of Anath." The name "Shamgar" is non-Israelite (best seen as Hurrian in origin). Scholarly opinion varies as to understanding "the son of Anath." For example, this designation is seen as indicating Shamgar's community; Shamgar was from Beth-anath (IDB 4: 306). Another interpretation, seeing in the designation mention of the war divinity Anath, is that it is a military title or epithet (Craigie 1972: 239–40). However, Cross (1980: 7) thinks that ben anat may be a simple personal name. After comparing inscriptions on two arrowheads dating to the late 12th and late 11th centuries B.C., he suggests that the designation be understood as "the (son of) Son of Anath." Ben Anath ("Son of Anath") was Shamgar's father, who was named after the goddess. Extrabiblical onomastic data indicate that personal names often consisted of "Son of" plus the name of a deity. Since Ben Anath was named after the warrior goddess Anath it is quite possible that he came from a military family.
My question is, what's he doing here? I can understand that someone with a non-Israelite name, even someone (Israelite or otherwise) who was a worshipper of Anat, might have established himself as a champion of the Israelites and ruler of the land in this period. But if you are going to go so far as to tell me that he "slew six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad," why not tell me the whole story?
My suspicion is that the writer who assembled the book of Judges from earlier sources (written and legendary) actually knew nothing about Shamgar except for this, from the Song of Deborah:
Judg. 5:6
In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
In the days of Jael,
Caravans ceased,
And wayfarers went
By roundabout paths.
This song is probably the most ancient text in the Bible (see my earlier post on it here). Some scholars think that Judges 4 is simply a prose retelling based on the well-known poem in Judges 5; if that's true, it would be natural to add a note leading up to the story of Deborah implying that Shamgar had ruled just before her. (Jael, of course, has a featured role in the poem, so she can have one in the story too.) As for the 600 Philistines, either that was also somehow an attribution of Shamgar's that was floating around (like George Washington and the cherry tree), or our author made it up to give him something to do.
The two verses I quote in this post are the only biblical mentions of Shamgar. His name, and the two "facts" we know about him — that marauders were plentiful in his days, and that he killed 600 Philistines with an oxgoad — open a tantalizing window on an early moment in the history of the Israelites. The only biblical heroes who killed more Philistines than that are Samson, Saul, and David. Pretty good company.
But unless one day we dig up an inscription that tells us more about his story, we will never know anything else about this once famous ruler of the Israelites.
Last week, I attended the 2012 conference of the Society for Biblical Literature (held in conjunction with the American Academy of Religion), this year at Chicago's McCormick Place. This isn't meant to be any kind of comprehensive report; those who've been to the SBL will know that's impossible, since dozens of sessions are running concurrently at any one time. But there's also no forum for reacting to conference presentations once they're over. So I'm using this post to present a reaction to something I heard there.
The remark that caught my attention was a comment made by Thomas Römer of the Université de Lausanne. I know his work only from hearing him speak at previous conferences, where he has always sounded sensible and thoughtful. But this time I think his good sense has steered him wrong.
It was in a session on "How to Reconstruct the Literary History of the Hebrew Bible." The discussion touched on the question of how much of the Bible was put together during the period of the Babylonian exile, following the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE. Römer asked the rhetorical question, "When the Israelites went into exile, was their immediate reaction to start writing books?" The question drew a laugh, and a subsequent speaker also alluded to it, as if acknowledging that they obviously did not.
Now for a responsible opposing viewpoint.
We have an empirical model—more on this term in a later post—suggesting that the immediate reaction to exile might indeed be writing books that consolidate the knowledge of the exiled community.
The exile to Babylonia was not the first exile suffered by the Jews (that was in 722, when inhabitants of the northern kingdom of Israel were exiled to other lands by their Assyrian conquerors), and it was far from the last. The exile I want to discuss in this post is the exile from Spain in 1492, and the writer is Isaac Abarbanel.
Abarbanel (often given the courtesy title "Don" Isaac) is identified by the Encyclopedia Judaica as a "statesman, biblical exegete, and theologian," but I would call him a politician and financier as well as a writer on religious topics. He was forced to leave Spain with the rest of the remaining Jews in 1492, but according to the EJ he was allowed to take 1000 gold ducats out of the country with him.
And here's what happened next:
After the 1492 expulsion, Abrabanel* passed two years in Naples. Here he completed his commentary on Kings (fall 1493).
*Since the name appears most often in Hebrew characters, which do not make the pronunciation explicit, it appears in transliteration in a number of different ways. I follow the explanation by Sid Leiman (JJS 19 [1968]:49 n. 1) explaining that Don Isaac's son Judah used the pronunciation "Abarbanel."
Though Abarbanel was eventually able to resume political and financial activities, he also continued to write. His Bible commentaries are still used, not just read by scholars. (His Torah commentary, somewhat long-winded, is not translated into English, but you will find selections from it in my Commentators' Bible series.)
Could some of Israel's biblical literature have been written not only in, but early in, the Babylonian exile? The example of Abarbanel—whose commentary on Kings was finished in 1493, the year after the exile—says that it could.
What circumstances permitted Abarbanel to write his commentary on Kings?
1) He had the means, having left Spain with a bit of money.
2) He had the opportunity, since unlike a baker, tailor, carpenter or the like he could not immediately resume his financial and political occupations, but he could continue to write.
3) He had the motive, partly the same motives that had moved him to write commentaries and other religious works earlier in his career, and partly the desire to reassure himself and his Jewish contemporaries that their tradition was secure and that their ultimate fate was a hopeful one.
Could these same circumstances have existed—for someone—even during the very first months of the Babylonian exile? It would be surprising if they did not. The exilic community certainly included richer and more well-connected members (we know of a Jewish banking family in Babylonia not long after this period) and there were undoubtedly also many learned people among the exiles.
The important thing to remember is that it would only take one such person to produce a biblical book. Contemporary scholars speak of "the Deuteronomistic school," "the priestly traditions," and so on, but books are not written by committee—not good books, anyway. They are written by single authors, even if they subsequently change as they are transmitted through the centuries.
Römer's question, "When the Israelites went into exile, was their immediate reaction to start writing books?" makes the very idea sound absurd. And posed in this general way, it certainly is. But there is nothing absurd about the idea that writing a book might have been the immediate reaction of a few individuals—individuals like Thomas Römer himself, and (not to put myself on the same level) like me.
So the idea that some of the biblical books were composed or compiled during the Babylonian exile is a quite reasonable one.

Christmas gifts
With money being tight for everyone this year, I found the best Christmas gift for my uncle! Its a conservation Kit that will save him money on his electrical and water bills! We all need to save money nowadays and what better way to save money by reducing your own bills and at the same time doing your part to Go Green by conserving electricity and water? The 3 kits range from $25 - $105 and are estimated to save between $200 - $470 / year! Here's the website: www.energyproaz.com

- Ann Beattie - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(born 1947). Ann Beattie's novels and short stories were praised for their astute portrayals of upper-middle-class New Englanders dissatisfied with their careers and alienated from society and their loved ones. Frequent inclusions of contemporary culture, especially that of the 1970s and 1980s, and a somewhat detached narrative voice earned her a reputation as an objective observer of her generation. However, Beattie's affectionate humor rendered a sympathetic portrait of her beleaguered characters, many of which are shown to be surprisingly resilient.

Well, Shelf life on an aluminium frame is roughly five years depending on what you do on it, im not sure if different types of alumium have a higher quality and last longer though
Impossible to say. There are literally thousands of variables that play into the life of a frame.
"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." - Albert Einstein
I've almost (literally) wore 3 holes in my frame from cable rub. The LBS put on some special tape to help protect the frame in those areas, but I'm just wearing the frame out from riding so much.... I bought it new last April, so it's about 1 yr. old.
I figure it's a good thing to wear stuff out. That way I "have" to buy new stuff (bikes) to replace it....
What, dont they last way longer because they dont rust? Also when you say "shelf life"
what are you meaning? They should last longer than 10 years and also be stong i would think.
Full suspension is better
There has yet to be fail safe building materials. It all depens on how you ride and how you take care of the bike.
Until you break it or get tired of it and buy another one.Originally Posted by H_Roark
im gonna agree with 5 years, even for full suspension bikes.. i found this out the hard way when i discovered several cracks in my beloved 2000 fsr enduro frame
Good post!Originally Posted by dm_fuel100
I agree with all the posts above. It really depends on how you ride the bike. If you are a weekend warrior and don't ride too hard than 5 + years is reasonable.
If you are a heavier rider like myself, than less. If you jump or ride aggressively, than less. Too many factors.
The best thing to do is to ride it like you stole it, then when you break it, buy another one!
Frames can be found for reasonable prices. I bought a N.O.S. aluminum frame that was sitting in a shop for 4 years, never used for under a hundred dollars.

i would think its the other way around, the inherent give in the f/s frame would make it easier on the metal, because the rear shock is doing some of the work. then again, my frame is cracking right on the shock towerOriginally Posted by Raiyn

Ride it hard...
and when it breaks make a warranty claim...
(this is only made possible if your frame manufacturer has such warranties...)
I can't comment on a bike lasting 5 years as I've never had one for more than 4 years. Either I break them or I get tired of them and buy another. Actually, I only tired of my first mtb, a 92 Marin Bear Valley. It was a tank of a bike-and probably still is-and no matter how hard I tried to kill it, I couldn't. All the rest either I broke (Kestrel, Lightspeed) or had warranty issues (Rocky Element TO with a bad pivot). My current bike is 4 years old and this summer will be its fifth, but I've only had it for 3 years. I hope I can get a couple more years out of my Fuel as I really like the way it rides, but by then I'm sure I'll be jonesing for something newer.Originally Posted by handlebarsfsr
Not to bash you directly. O.k., well I am, but. This is a pet-peeve of mine!Originally Posted by shabbasuraj
You ride it hard, you break it, take some personal responsibility. Spend the money on a new frame! You broke it, you bought it!
Warranties only cover manufacturer's defects. Breaking a frame by riding it hard should NOT be covered under warranty. Maybe under a warranty upgrade where the manuf. sells you a frame at cost to keep you as a customer.
Too many people illigitimately claim Warranty when it's rider error! This in turn cuts into the manufactuer's profit, so they in turn charge more for their product. If manuf. where more realistic in regards to their claims, they'd keep costs down and we'd all be spending less on frames/bikes/components..etc. However, it's all in the aim to please mentality and customer relations.
I've seen too many JRA stories, and Manuf. reps who'll warranty a broken frame to keep the peace.
I'd rather save $200 on my next bike!

I think I've mentioned it before, but my HT is, let's see, 10-11 years old now and my FS is goin' on 7. So far, so good and I am trying to break them. Raced the HT a few seasons, too. Haven't ridden it much, but I'm in the process of beating the hell out of my FS. MTB's no good to me if I can't ride it hard. Hopefully, I'll break one soon so I can get a new bike.

Let me add an analogy.
You buy a new car. You pay for it. You drive it off the lot. You crash it into a light pole. Completely your fault.
Do you go back to the dealership and ask for a new car?????

What about companies like Trek and their lifetime replacement policy on their frames? Wouldnt that include it being broken while riding it as long as it was during its intended use?
Yes, it should be covered. I broke the piston rod on my shock about 3 yrs. ago, and K2 sent me a new shock along with the entire rear triangle. It had bent the seat stays when the shock rod snapped.... I wouldn't deliberately tear something up just to get a new one. Remember, what goes around, comes around.... Be honest. That's what's wrong with the world today....
Are you HONESTLY going to keep a DJ bike for your entire lifetime? I think not.Originally Posted by bruiser2
You have to use your head on this it covers MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS not "I cased that 20 ft huck to flat and snapped my frame." That's NOT a defect that's a "You done F'd up"
Take some ownership of the problem. If I break my frame seeing as how it's two years old. I'm not going to demand I get a brand new frame for free.
If it was a legit JRA type of thing the first or second year I'd want a new frame. However if I do something stupid, or if I have the bike long enough to where they change designs (like they did- figure a couple years) I'm going to look to buy a replacement frame at cost, and I wouldn't stay at the same level I'd look at getting set up with a Stumpy frame or (if they're generous) a S-works Stumpy The thing is I would buy the frame at their cost that way I get a smoking deal and they don't lose anything. Win Win situation
Chances are I'll retire the bike in one piece after building up the next, better rig
6 years and counting for me. Depends what you do with it. Use it everyday it's bound to put stresses on the welds, especially head tube and seat area join. Leave it in a room untouched for 25 years and it should ride as good as the day you got it because I don't think alloy softens with age, not like some steels. So theoritically it should last forever.
- I know some alluminium frames come with lifetime guarantee*if used ONLY for XC.

Pictures taken in Italy, Spain, France &Corsica, Algeria, and Turkey.
My father was born in Algeria. His parents too, from parents born in Sicily, Malta and Catalonia. I grew up hearing a million stories about these cultures and places. As a kid growing up, I also had a connection with it myself, going for vacations to the Mediterranean coasts every summer. An omnipresent element in my education, this sea was definitely a member of my family. This series pays homage to it, with a journey around its shores. Here these territories dialogue together freely, in a mosaic that evokes the relationship I have with this identity now that I am an adult, with my own sensibility. From a passive connection to the Mediterranean, I made my actual experience out of it.

Tallahassee, Florida (AP) --
Florida is a key battleground in the struggle over control of the U.S. House.
Five or six of the state's 25 seats could change hands next
Republicans hold a 15-10 advantage in the state going into
Election Day. They believe they can take back both central Florida
seats they lost two years ago and a third in South Florida the
Democrats took from them in 2006.
The GOP also is targeting seven-term Democratic Rep. Allen Boyd
in north Florida.
Democrats hope to hold what they have and grab one or two seats
in South and central Florida.
University of Central Florida political scientist Aubrey Jewett
said it'll be a good night for Republicans, but they may not sweep
all of the Florida congressional races they've targeted.

There are parts of my story that involve a double battle. I wanted it to be able to happen regardless of whether the Player has at least two Pokemon or not, as it is a story-related battle. I would've made a thread asking about it, but I figured there may be other people that would want it that way.
Incidentally, I have started called Pokemon XD just "Pokemon: Gale Of Darkness" in some places for the very reason you explained, Maruno.

A little breastfeeding humor
Welcome to February's Carnival of Breastfeeding sponsored by The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog. This month our theme is breastfeeding humor, or "What's so funny about breastfeeding?" Here are a few breastfeeding funnies – a joke, picture and video – I gathered up from around the 'net. Enjoy! :) First, the joke: A woman and a baby come into the doctor's office. She was told to go into a room and wait for the doctor. After arriving there, the doctor examined the baby and asked the woman, "Is he breast fed or on the bottle?" "Breast fed" she replied. "Well, strip down to your waist," the doctorRead More →

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — B.J. Coleman threw a pair of touchdown passes and Chris Awuah ran for two more, leading Chattanooga past Jacksonville State 38-17 on Saturday night.
Coleman, who finished 23 for 33 passing with 296 yards, broke a 17-17 tie with a 47-yard TD pass to Joel Bradford with 3:01 left before halftime. The Mocs (1-1) would hold the Gamecocks scoreless the rest of the way to earn the victory.
Awuah ran for 77 yards on 17 carries, and Bradford had 15 catches for 162 yards for Chattanooga.
The Mocs scored 15 unanswered points in the second half, including Awuah's 1-yard TD run in the third quarter and Wes Dothard's 30-yard interception return for a score in the fourth.
The Gamecocks (1-1) took a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, thanks to a 4-yard TD run from Georgia transfer Washaun Ealey and an 8-yard scoring rush from Calvin Middleton.
