Then she'd start doing it and households across the nation would sit and watch in complete silence and astonishment. Well, except for the meatheads who think it is "Finger painting" or "playing in the sand".
Honestly... for no other reason than tradition. .
Has the halftime show ever been anything other than musical performances (BTW, I don't watch those either)

Saturday in the Park McLaren Announces October 2015 Shows
Closing its 3rd successful year and after 15 shows of free concerts, Friends of the AMP (Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park) announce the October lineup of its final two 2015 Saturday in the Park – McLaren afternoon concerts in McLaren Park's outdoor Jerry Garcia Amphitheater. Saturday in the Park – McLaren's free family friendly performances showcase talent to appeal to all ages and musical tastes and the last two shows deliver on that promise.
October 10 – The Kid's' Festival – A full day of activities for the little ones starting with Charity and the JAMBand at 11am, and continuing all afternoon with the Alphabet Rockers, Magic Dan's Magic Show, Tree Frog Treks, Bubble adventures with The Excelsior Science Workshop and the Exploratorium's Skateboard Science Trailer and 2 fun Rope Squirters. This promises to be a day of non-stop fun for kids and adults alike!
October 17 – The Blues Show – our season finale concert presenting: a Tribute to B. B. King with a great lineup featuring multitalented blues man and saxophonist Bobbie "Spider" Webb and The Smooth Blues Band, Blues, and American Roots singer Jan Fanucchi and her band and special guest, Miss Tia Carroll.
This final 2015 show also celebrates 3 anniversaries: the 44th anniversary of the Amphitheater with the annual Saturday in the Park Amphitheater Birthday Party, the 10- year celebration honoring the naming of the Amphitheater after Jerry Garcia, front man for the Grateful Dead Band, and the 40-year anniversary of the 1st SF Blues Festival held at the "McLaren Park" Amphitheater. Come celebrate with us and enjoy a great day of music!
The Mission of the Saturday in the Park – McLaren Concert Series is to promote and foster local talent, present an eclectic range of free live music performances in an outdoor Greek-style stage, and work to revive San Francisco's legacy of a rich original music scene that produced today's music legends.
Situated on a sunny hillside meadow and surrounded by tall shade trees, the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater creates an intimate, friendly setting, allowing for the talents of these artists to truly shine. Concert goers can enjoy bringing the family and a picnic lunch, away from the "hustle and bustle," for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. "We want to bring people together in special ways and showcase area talent," said Linda Litehiser of Friends of the Amp.
In-between shows, the Friends of the AMP want you to discover over seven-and a-half miles of serene beauty, hiking, biking and natural trails and spectacular vistas running throughout the 318 acres in San Francisco's second-largest park.
Saturday in the Park-McLaren is funded by SF Parks Alliance, grants & donations and support from SF Recreation & Parks, & the San Francisco's Board of Supervisors.

GSA's newly confirmed permanent administrator is vowing to redouble the agency's efforts to bring its resources and expertise to bear for partner agencies in building a smarter, more efficient government.
In a July 10 post on the GSA Blog, agency administrator Dan Tangherlini said he had attended a key July 8 meeting with White House cabinet and senior officials to discuss how to make the federal government more efficient and effective during President Barack Obama's second term.
During that meeting Obama said he planned to make innovation in government management a second-term priority, and tapped Sylvia Mathews Burwell, director of the Office of Management and Budget, to lead the effort.
Obama also gave agency leaders the goal of developing an "aggressive management agenda" to harness technology to bring innovations in government services to the public. As examples of first-term innovations, he cited the open-data initiative, the ongoing effort to reduce federal data center redundancies, and the use of satellite and Internet technologies aid relief efforts after natural disasters.
In his July 10 post, Tangherlini said GSA is in a unique position to help produce efficiencies and value for agencies in acquisition, real estate and technology services.
In the acquisition arena, he said, federal agencies have saved more than $300 million though GSA's Strategic Sourcing Initiative since the program began in 2010. Additionally, he said, FedRAMP, the single security authorization for cloud technologies for all participating agencies, has reduced costs, time and staff once needed to conduct redundant security assessments.
"In the coming months, we will be redoubling our efforts to demonstrate to our partner agencies how GSA's existing resources and expertise can support the president's management goals and allow them to focus their staff and their funding on their important missions," Tangherlini said.
"GSA knows how to use the size and the scope of the federal government to drive down costs, increase collaboration and efficiency. We are committed to building the kind of responsive and effective government that president Obama has challenged us to create."

Steve Kelman contends that a recent report on agencies' prize challenges tells only half the success story.
OMB's Data Center Optimization Initiative gives agencies new metrics and goals for fiscal 2018.
NSA and the CIA have revamped themselves in the past year. FCW asked officials how well Fort Meade and Langley are collaborating in cyberspace in pursuit of their separate missions.
The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Until Mr. Tangherlini either allows others in government or industry to help participate in the findings and review the methodology, I just view these pronouncements as propaganda.
I know I have been stymied at efforts to communicate with GSA and OMB (OFPP specifically), as they stated they are using Google Analytics for data analysis. That in and of itself is a major problem, as Google Analytics, a great product, does not have the firepower to mine or create the meaningful data to capture duplication and redundancy across the federal government.
Further, GAO analyzed the savings from strategic sourcing against what GSA was claiming, and had a vastly different, and smaller number just using FPDS-NG data.
Although GSA was at the forefront of Better Buying Power and Mythbusters, it seems that when it comes to sharing data, transparency is an inconvenience.
Efficiency? When we are ordered to use GSA to buy batteries at 3X the cost of of a local provider who unlike GSA will deliver the next day at no extra charge to our doorstep AND remove the old batteries, again with no effort on our part or cost to the taxpayer? Of course, I may be focusing on the wrong part of GSA, but that is a bias from being in the trenches.

Never heart about this game before I bought it in the latest Humble Indie Bundle. Have been playing it non-stop since the purchase. Not too far in yet, and the puzzles are already starting to become mindbendingly mindboggling, guessing it might be impossibly difficult towards the end, but that's part of the fun. Did anyone else discover this game through the HIB?

first off, i want to let all of you know that i have been smoking since i was 12 years old.with me first child i quit as soon as i found out and she was 2 weeks old when i got pregnant with my second and was smoke free at the time.when my son was only 4 or 5 months old there bf left me and said he wished he had never had a family,i started smoking again.i met a wonderful man who loves all of us and we have a daughter together,i found it hard to quit but by the 3rd month i was smoke free.now i am pregnent with my 4th and am now starting my second trimester.i was smoking 3 packs a day befor i found out i was pregnant an now am down to about a pac,i have found it very difficult to quit this time around and have tryed many dif. things but cant seem to kick the habbit,i want this to be a way for woman to tell how they quit when the where having a hard time and maby help others do the same.
smoke,and need support and help?i do
i think you are doing damn good on cutting back and well on your way to quitting! with smoking that much in a day it will take a while to get your body use to not depending on it. i smoked when i was pregnant with both my daughters and dont remember how i quit, but it happened both times. I do smoke now 3 times a day and am having such a hard time quitting. there is just so much stress in my life right now. I know I will quit it just might take longer then planned. Have always been told stress from life and the stress of forcing yourself to quit or quitting cold turkey can be worse on the baby then if you were to smoke as lil as you can.
Keep up the good work mamma!!!!
thank you for not being scared of what others will say and posting on here.this is ment to help not just me but all every woman struggling with this.ty mommy
Expecting our Christmas baby BOY, Jonah Ray!!! We got our gift early on 12-12-12!
yeah,if someone is not,TRUELY addicted than they dont REALY understand how hard it is,like i said,with my first i quit the moment i found out.that was almost 8 years ago.that time made a big dif. in my addiction.so as each pregnancy happend,it got harder and harder.ty for your kind words
I was smoking anywhere from 1-1.5 packs a day. The first time I was pregnant and found out I quit immediately, just threw 'em in the toilet and did my best to deal with craziness that went with being pregnant and going through withdrawl. I MC'd a few days later, so I went back to smoking.
When I found out this time I was still smoking 1-1.5 packs a day and decided that I wasn't just going to quit cold turkey. I was going to "wean" myself off of them. And it was actually easier than I expected went down to 10 ciggarettes a day, then 9, then 8, and now I'm down to 1-2 a day. I was surprised how the gradually cutting down really just did it on its own. Now I keep a pack in my hubbys car so they aren't convenient for me to get to. B/c even tho I don't really need them first thing in the morning, if I have them on me I can't not make myself smoke. So that's helped a lot.
I quit the first week of may, and like a PP said the ms was so bad it was easy. But not everyone is that lucky.
Rose 3/04, River 8/09, Ridge 12/12.

text: Is there anyone who can customize the same template I'm using for my site (4starlist.com) so that I can launch another web project that would allow visitors to vote on ladies who have posted their photos and brief profiles? I would need it configured so that all votes could be counted towards the end of each year, to determine which girls will be chosen as the annual winners. I would need a photo gallery for all girls who are interested in posting more photos, that wouldn't be able to be viewed by regular visitors there to just vote. Each girl would have to have their own gallery for uploading their photos. I'd like to have the option of charging members to access the photo galleries, or to keep it free, at least until the site fills up with visitors and members. Lastly, I would like to have another section of the site configured for live pay per view web cams for those girls who are interested in participating in erotic activities for members, which is when registered members would definitely have to pay to access this part of the site.

I called them yesterday, exactly 5 business days later, and they informed me they did in fact receive my papers (almost 2 months after my original attempt) and that it would now take anywhere between 1-3 MONTHS for them to review my papers, because they are so busy. Again, how is that my fault they are not properly staffed? Credit reporting agencies have 30 days to investigate a dispute, why is Nicor allowed to make up all these rules and treat their customers like complete and total crap? And in between all of this, I sent these same papers into TransUnion, the credit bureau that is currenty reporting this debt. I was really hoping that would get me somewhere. In the past when dealing with credit bureaus, they are usually pretty good about removing things off of your credit that you can prove are not your debts. But they ended up sending me a paper that said there was going to be no changes to the debt because Nicor confirmed it. I am so angry, it seems like there is no end to this!!
Has anyone else every been through this? I really want to buy a home, I am getting married soon and this is really causing HUGE issues for my family. There has to be an easier way, there just has to be!!

I have a dozen or so different category templates for the different sections of my site, and am trying to exclude a few categories from one of them.
Here's my loop:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query($query_string . "&cat=107,108,109,110&posts_per_page=16");
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
if ( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue;
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
I've tried everything I could find/think of to either only include the four categories you see in the loop above (cat=107,108....) or exclude the others (cat=-112,-113...). Neither method seems to do anything, and I'm now thinking it's because all the categories are sub-categories of a main one, 105 in my case.
Can you not exclude or only include sub-categories in a wp_query? Or is there another way to go about this?
Thanks guys.

We report a case of oncocytic pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland in a woman in her sixties with preoperative endocrine examination results. She had no clinical symptoms, but a large right adrenal mass (8.5 × 7.2 cm) was incidentally pointed out. Preoperative endocrine examination was within normal limits except for an increased dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate level. We removed the tumor surgically. It measured 10 × 8 × 5.5 cm, weighed 260 g, and had a solid, bark-like cut surface. Microscopically, the tumor cells were highly eosinophilic, polygonal, and arranged in an alveolar pattern. Immunohistochemically the tumor cells were positive for chromogranin, synaptophysin and CD-56. Based on these results, the tumor combined oncocytoma and pheochromocytoma. Therefore we diagnosed it as oncocytic pheochromocytoma.
KeywordsAdrenalOncocyticPheochromocytomaDehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Oncocytic pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland is extremely rare. To our knowledge, only 3 cases have been reported previously, but there were no preoperative endocrine examination data in those cases [1–3]. We report a case of oncocytic pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland in a woman in her sixties with preoperative endocrine examination results.
Case report
To our knowledge, only 3 cases of oncocytic pheochromocytoma were reported previously [1–3]. In 2 cases, the patients had no clinical symptoms such as headache, sweating, or palpitation and the tumor sizes were large (1150 and 275 g) [1, 3]. Those findings were similar to our case. In the other case, clinical presentation was not reported [2]. In this context, the tumor was considered to be clinically nonfunctional. However, there was no information about preoperative endocrine examinations in the previous cases. We herein reported an adrenal oncocytic pheochromocytoma with preoperative endocrine examination results, and showed that there was no abnormal finding in the endocrine data except for DHEA-S.
In this case, the differential diagnosis between pheochromocytoma and oncocytic pheochromocytoma is very important. Immunohistochemical study indicated that this tumor was pheochromocytoma because of the neuroendocrine markers, such as chromogranin, synaptophysin, and CD-56. However, histological examination revealed that the findings were likely oncocytic tumor and these findings were rare as pheochromocytoma. This examination suggested that our case was oncocytic tumor because the tumor is characterized histologically [1].
The reason why oncocytic pheochromocytoma is clinically nonfunctional is unclear. Chang and Harawi [4] speculated that oncocytic changes were a cellular degenerative phenomenon, and that mitochondria accumulated to compensate for the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. However, to clarify the characteristics of oncocytic pheochromocytoma seems to be very difficult because this tumor is exceedingly rare.
Histological examination revealed that the tumor cells had eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, a characteristic of the oncocytic tumor [1]. Oncocytic tumors are also derived from endocrine organs such as the thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands, pituitary gland, and ovary [1]. Adrenal oncocytic tumors have been reported [5]. These reports suggested that the tumors were clinically nonfunctional, and the patients had an excellent prognosis. In this case, there was very little abnormal mitosis microscopically. Capsular and lymphovascular invasion were not demonstrated. On the other hand, microscopic examination revealed areas of hemorrhage, coagulation necrosis, and fibrotic degeneration. Therefore it was very difficult to diagnose whether the tumor was benign or malignant. It is known that 10 % of pheochromocytoma has a malignant potential [6]. Although there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 13 months after surgery, we should continue careful follow-up for the patient with abdominal imaging.
This case report has some limitations. One of these is that we did not evaluate surgical specimens with electron microscopic studies. Therefore, we could not determine ultrastructural findings such as cytoplasmic mitochondria. However, it was difficult to conduct full evaluation of this quite rare tumor preoperatively in the general clinical setting. Those who encounter an unusual adrenal tumor in the future, should carry out more detailed differential diagnostic studies such as the fixation of the surgical specimen to be able to evaluate it with electron microscopic studies or fluorescence in situ hybridization with multiple bacterial artificial chromosome probes [7].

D800 CF speed
Hi again,
I'm contemplating which speed CF cards to buy for my D800 (get here already!). What would you all say, is the 600x of UDMA 6 enough to sustain the 4 shots/sec in lossless compressed, or will I need the UDMA 7's 1000x? There is quite the price difference...
Granted, I don't see myself shooting a ton of max speed series, but it would be frustrating to have the camera stop early the times I do because I was cheap.
#1. "RE: D800 CF speed" | In response to Reply # 0icslowmo Registered since 01st Jan 2012Fri 09-Mar-12 12:53 AM
This was on NikonRumors:
Testing with the D4 and new XQD cards but has the 1000x card speeds also compared to UDMA6 cards. Seems to be about 5-10mb/s from 600x to 1000x in a D4.... so I would say UDMA6 should be good for most anything with the D800...

If you are buying a large card, the speed differences for downloads could be meaningful. The camera has limitations since it has to process and write the image. Write speeds are often slower than download speeds. A fast card full of large files of images or video could be much better if you want fast downloads.
UDMA 6 is probably a pretty good answer - just get a large card. I think 32 GB is a starting point.
There are a lot of options on the second card. You could use an 8 GB Eye-Fi card for medium or small JPEGs, or a 16 GB card for video and large JPEG or overflow NEFs. I don't see a major need for the two cards to have the same features. But the larger file size means you'll need three times the storage of your current cards.

I think even a slow card will work in the camera . The buffer will store data and load the card at what ever rate it can write . Sure there could be a delay when the buffer is full as it writes . I'm sure the spec is something I will never hit ( 4 fps for 10 seconds ) .
For my mind set, it's a medium format camera in a 35 mm housing . So a lot of tripod shots and live view , not much rapid fire street photography .

Hi there,
Cool plugin. Just a few comments:
1) I liked your example of expandable categories on your page
I'm a n00b, so I just copied and pasted the sample code to the style.css file under "categories". After doing this, the categories are indented, but I'm not seeing the expand / collapse buttons. Do I need to customize the code (which I would need lots of help)? Or is the theme overriding it?
2) Is there a way to duplicate your widget? I want to break out the presentation of the categories, so I want one sidebar widget with a group of categories under it (i.e. computers, PC, electronics, etc)...and then another sidebar widget with a different group of categories under it (i.e. cars, motorcycles, planes, etc). Is this possible?
Thanks again! keep up the good work!

Posted by Sheryl Pattek on the CMOs Blog on July 20, 2015
In 1860, the year Abraham Lincoln was elected President, Milton Bradley invented his first board game, the Checkered Game of Life. The game simulates a person's travels through his or her life, from infancy to retirement, with jobs, marriage, and possible children along the way. Some squares on the board help you along, with little lithographed hands pointing the way, but almost any spin from nearly every square involves a decision, a choice among as many as eight possible moves. The Checkered Game of Life requires you to make decisions — lots and lots of them — and each of those decisions leads you down a different path, requiring more decisions as you go.
Over 150 years later, the premise of the Game of Life holds as true for the decisions our customers make as it did for the personal decisions outlined in 1860.
In the post-digital world of today, empowered customers have taken control of the relationship they have with the companies they interact with. Your customers now face a maze of media, devices, conversations, and interactions as they make decisions along their path to purchase. As marketers, you must engage customers in the right way across the entirety of what Forrester calls the customer life cycle, from customers initially identifying a need to researching their options, making a purchase, and using the product.

We live in a world filled with technology-empowered consumers who have access to more information on brands than ever before. Armed with this information, they are telling brands where, when, and how they want to engage. This new world has sent marketers and the brand's they support into a tailspin — they are losing control of their brand message and are losing trust with consumers. My colleagues Tracy Stokes, Chelsea Hammond, and I have developed a framework that helps marketers stop their free fall and chart a new course for their brand to win mindshare and market share in this new world. We call it the TRUE Brand Compass Framework.
In this framework, we take the stance that for marketers to succeed in building a 21st century brand, they need to focus on a new set of metrics that capture brand resonance. Professor Kevin Lane Keller perfectly states what brand resonance is: "where customers feel a connection or sense of community with the brand and they would miss it if it went away." In our research and advanced analytics on brand resonance, we identified four key dimensions that each significantly influence brand resonance. These four dimensions are TRUE: trusted, remarkable, unmistakable, and essential.

White House Taps Zients to Fix Health-Care Portal
The Obama administration has tapped Jeffrey Zients, who has been a top economic adviser to the White House, to help lead efforts to fix the problem-plagued online health-insurance marketplaces.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said that Mr. Zients, who served as acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, will work in cooperation with the Health and Human Services team to provide management advice and counsel. His enlistment is part of the "tech surge" aimed at resolving the technical issues that have hampered the rollout of healthcare.gov, slowing signups for health insurance and enflaming criticism of the Affordable Care Act.

"Jeff will provide short-term advice, assessments and recommendations," Mr. Carney said, adding that he is an expert in the field of effective management.
This will be a temporary assignment for Mr. Zients, who is slated to become the next director of the National Economic Council on Jan. 1. He left the White House earlier this year and was announced as the NEC pick last month.
Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, also lauded Mr. Zients in a blog post.
"Jeff has led some of the country's top management firms, providing private sector companies around the world with best practices in management, strategy and operations," she wrote. "He has a proven track record as Acting Director at the Office of Management and Budget and as the nation's first Chief Performance Officer."
Mr. Zients is the first person the administration has publicly identified as a key player in the tech surge that was announced Sunday. White House and Health and Human Services officials have declined to detail who is working on the website. Ms. Sebelius' blog post Tuesday offered no other details, saying only that the team includes "additional experts and specialists drawn from within government, our contractors, and industry, including veterans of top Silicon Valley companies."
Earlier in his career, Mr. Zients worked as a consultant at Bain & Co. in Boston, but he didn't work with former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who had already left to start Bain Capital.

Speaking at the New York State Food Merchants Association's annual forum here, Vacco said documents are still being gathered from the 11 retailer and manufacturer companies subpoenaed in the probe, announced last month.

Anyone who lives in a metropolitan area knows what a headache the daily commute can be, whether you drive or take public transportation. The D.C. area has repeatedly made the list of worst congested areas, and last year ranked first, with drivers spending a yearly average of 74 hours stuck in traffic.
Government transportation officials acknowledged the problem with congestion. But instead of urging more use of mass transit, Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton promoted telework as way to alleviate the clogged roads.
Telework not only leads to more productive and happy employees but it also saves energy, keeps costs down and helps save the environment, making it a "great win-win for all of us," the secretary said.
But while it makes sense to allow telework for employees who have long commutes, should the same option be given to those who live near the office? A reader yesterday submitted an interesting quandary, asking others to comment on whether an employee who lives close enough to walk to work should have the telework option.
"She lives less than a mile from work. She could walk. Would you allow her to telework when it's obvious she wants to be able to go to the store when she wants, watch a TV show when she wants, etc.? She is a good employee, but from everything I've read, the intent for all this to reduce pollution. She will drive more when teleworking and cause a bigger carbon footprint, simply because she can. Is this a good idea?" asked the reader.
Cindy Auten, general manager at Telework Exchange, suggested the reader look beyond the benefit of reducing pollution when evaluating telework and consider the bigger picture. Good questions to ask are: What other benefits will you recognize with telework? Can you reduce office space by having employees work remotely? And can you remain operational in the next weather-related emergency with teleworking employees?
"The ultimate question to ask is, will this employee be as or more productive when working remotely?" she said. "Oftentimes, employees find that a home office or remote location is more conducive to productivity. If the employee is a good employee, they will most likely be a productive employee regardless of where they are sitting. Focus on the work that they do, and the 'where' won't matter as much.
A reader responding to the question pointed out that the original poster had jumped to the wrong conclusion way too fast. "Your assumption that she 'really' wants to drive around town all day and watch TV is so old-school that, for me, it's a tip-off that management style in your office should be more closely examined. Isn't her performance objectively measured? If so, what's the problem? Why be so judgmental about the motives of an admitted 'good employee?'" The reader suggested setting up a trial telework arrangement to see if it would work for the reader's team.
Another reader suggested that an employee living close to the office shouldn't be an automatic disqualifier and pointed out that the lack of trust was a bigger issue.
"What's troubling is that you say that she is a good employee, yet you seem to indicate that you couldn't trust her to work if she was teleworking," that reader said. "Are you evaluating her performance now through results? If so, with a strong telework agreement and open discussion about expectations from the get-go, should be no change in the evaluation methodology.'
Do you agree with the original poster who hints that telework should be primarily for those with long commutes? Is "pollution reduction" a good reason to push for telework? Do the reasons even matter if the employee has a track record of being productive and reliable?

Telework has nothing to do with how far your residence is from work. The guidance and Union Agreement establish a criteria for telework and those that should be granted that opportunity. Clearly, new employees that are in training should not be teleworking. Those that do not produce in the office are probably not going to produce at home ........not only should those individuals not be given the opportunity to telework, but rather management and first line supervisors should do their job and properly address the poor performance. As it relates to responsible, experienced, high producing self starting professionals, it does not really matter where they work. They will continue to bring integrity to the job and continue to produce high quality work and meet the established performance standards/metrics for their positions no matter where they happen to be sitting. If an apparent high performer teleworks and then does not produce, then cancel their telework privledge.
I telework regularly during my scheduled and off scheduled hours. I find I work longer hours and produce more when teleworking due to fewer distractions. What's interesting is I have co-workers who waste time not doing their job, while on site, and under the nose of their manager. It comes down to good management dealing with those employees who are slackers. I'd hate to see the ability for teleworking go away for those of us who produce and are ethical.
The concern shouldn't be how much of a commute the employees have, but if they have a good performance employee. Management needs to be flexable to their employees. We (Government) are having to do more with less. We are not giving raises or COLA's. If telework helps our employees to make ends meat by paying less gas or wear and tear on their vehicles. So be it!! This is the 21st century and management needs to get with the times... and let loose on their control.
This is a ridiculous thread. If people that chose to live far away from the office are given special consideration, people smart enough to live within walking distance should be allowed the same consideration. Many people work better with out the interruptions and distractions that come with an office environment.
I occassionally telework from a satellite office near my home. I accomplish a lot more when working in the satellite office because I do not have the normally interruptions that exist in a larger office. I have no doubt tele-work leads to greater productivity. I have greater loan production that others in my state and I credit the ability to tele-work as a contributing factor. Additionally, I have employees I supervise and I can evaluate their performance without being in the office with them everyday. If a supervisor cannot adequately evaluate a person due to tele-working, I have serious doubts regarding that persons competence as a manager.

Joe Zias on BAR- Uncensored
On the cover of the latest edition of Biblical Archaeology Review, 38:04, July/Aug 2012, the BAR Crowd declares the inscription on the James son of Joseph Brother of Jesus ossuary is authentic! Shanks' claim reappears on page one and again on page 26 in the article's title . However, tucked away in the 4th paragraph Shanks concedes , "The court held only that the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the inscription was a forgery." Is there no "consumer protection law" in the world of biblical archaeology? Much like the tabloids, readers will purchase the article on newsstands not because of a sentence on page 26, 4th paragraph down, but because of the large, attention-grabbing marketing caption on the cover– thus, caveat emptor.
And more. Classic Zias. You'll either be outraged and informed or amused and informed when you read it. Joe's one of those guys you either love or hate but you can't ignore.

The Folly of Dilettantism and the Unfortunate People Who Believe the Ignorant and Deceptive
via Oded Lipschits on FB
It occurs to me that just as this piece occurred in some ridiculous pseudo-news rag like the National Enquirer or the Star so too should lots of the stuff bandied around these days. The Talpiot Tomb, the 'James Ossuary' and the 'Jehoash Inscription' all would find fitting homes on the pages of the Enquirer. Which is, in some sense, exactly where they did in fact end up.
I used to feel sorry for the unfortunate people who believed the ignorant and the deceptive, but no longer. It's just too easy to check these things out and it's just to easy to look up, locate, and inquire of an actual scholar concerning these matters.
The ignorant are without excuse. They could discover the truth if they wanted to but their preference is ignorance and falsehood, so they continue to wear their aluminum foil hats and believe that all the world is out to cover up some secret truth which will prove false what sensible and informed people know to be the truth.

'Crucify Him, Crucify Him' – The Biblical Archaeology Review Cries for Zias' Blood
I wasn't at the trial so I don't know what Joe Zias said on the stand. I do know two things, though and they're brief observations:
1- BAR hasn't gone to such lengths to crucify someone (or at least destroy their reputation) since the 90's when Hershel Shanks showed utter contempt for Keith Whitelam, Niels Peter Lemche, and Thomas Thompson.
2- I don't really believe BAR is reporting all the facts or all the facts fairly. I don't trust BAR to do so as it has shown itself more than willing in the past to skew the evidence to its own advantage.
What this hatchet job shows, though, in my estimation, is that BAR and its editorial staff are a mean-spirited, vicious gang of thugs. But I already knew that. I've known that since the 90's.
If, however, BAR has offered the facts as they really are two more things are worth saying:
1- I have been and will remain Joe's friend. I'm loyal to my friends and if they happen to fall beneath the weight of human frailty I don't care- I remain loyal to them.
2- I still have absolutely NO respect for BAR, for Hershel Shanks, for his editorial staff, or for those who support their money-driven archaeology, and that won't change either unless Shanks is fired and the magazine takes on a wholly new character by adopting a more scholarly and less greedy direction (which means ending advertisements for antiquities).
Hershel Shanks Claims the Trial of the Century PROVED the James Ossuary Inscription Authentic
In an email (which I'm sure most of you received)- BAS writes
A new analysis and new evidence proves that the controversial "Brother of Jesus" inscription on an ancient bone box, or ossuary, is authentic, according to the July/August issue of Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR), the world's largest circulation magazine devoted to Biblical archaeology.
And, after breaking its own arm patting itself on the back, the email continues
In a post-verdict analysis, former U.S. Department of Justice lawyer and BAR editor Hershel Shanks explains why it can be said beyond reasonable doubt that the inscription is authentic, and he presents new evidence not available at the trial to support this conclusion.
Three things. 1) The fact that BAR has a giant circulation has nothing to do with the accuracy or reliability of its reports. The National Enquirer has a larger circulation and both publications share one purpose: money-making from questionable stories. 2), Shanks is a lawyer, not a scholar. So 'nuff said on that score. He's not competent nor equipped to render judgment on an ancient inscription. Others, better and wiser and more informed than himself, have made contrary claims and when it comes to deciding on the word of a dilettante and the word of a scholar (like Yuval Goren) I'll take what the scholar says as truth. And, finally, 3) his 'new evidence' can't be used to prove anything. 'New evidence'? After all this time? And we're supposed to accept it at his word when he clearly has more than a financial interest in the whole sordid affair? Not a chance.
You are, of course, free to believe everything that spews from the pages of BAR, but as far as I'm concerned its a toxic dumping ground and the society which supports it a society driven by concerns other than archaeological.
Hershel Shanks Has Done it More than Once
The other day I mentioned that Shanks has been lifting, without permission, evidently by means of a 'mole', materials from a closed (which means inaccessible to the general public) discussion list.
Evidently he didn't just lift something from Niels Peter Lemche (which wasn't a quote of Lemche at all but of Oestigaard- no matter, Shanks still used it in BAR to malign Lemche), he's also lifted something from Joe Zias- A friend emails-
The May June BAR has a piece on page 22 titled: "Joe Zias 'Hershel Has No Sense of Humor.'" which then quotes from a Jan 12, 2012 message to the biblical studies list:
Re: [biblical-studies] on talpiot
BAR publishing anything which goes against the James Ossuary. Dreaming, Phillip, remember what happened when one of the DSS editors and I told Shanks and his assistant quietly and discretely that we had seen the James ossuary independently of one another, decades after Golan claims to have published it? Not 'having a sense of humor' he retaliated with the 'Lying Scholars ' article and published a 6-7 page article accusing us of lying. When my photo alongside the dealer who 'knoweth not Zias' appeared in the article, he then mentioned in a one sentence note in the next issue, 'apparently the said dealer knows Joe Zias'. Like I've always maintained theres a BAR Crowd behind much of this, its a type of mentality in which ones career is placed before the profession. The fact that it's 'biblical' raises a lot of questions…particularly when some of the Talpiot crowd have to date, found 4 tombs of Jesus and U-Haul that ossuary from valley to valley, cave to cave. If you are a member of the BAR crowd you get 'diplomatic immunity' from the magazine at least and an opp. to lecture at those ArchFests each year. I don't know of any other academic discipline which tolerates such behavior, certainly not in the world of anthropology here in IL. As one colleague told me it's not what you write but how many times you appear on the History Channel, Discovery etc that counts at some universities.
Evidently Mr Shanks and/or his representatives really do have no problem at all ignoring rules to which they assent. I suppose if it serves a purpose, any act is justifiable, including quoting out of context and/ or taking and distributing what you don't have the right to take and distribute. I'm more disappointed with Shanks' methodology now than I've ever been before. It's just simply wrong.

Nina Burleigh on the Trial of the Century: Golan, Shanks, A Smear Campaign and Money
Nina, who famously wrote a book on the trial, has an op-ed in the LA Times this morning. She observes
Israeli prosecutors were badly underfunded (the nation has its eye on bigger problems than relic forgery), and its investigators never mounted the kind of international, follow-the-money detective work that would have bolstered their case by showing a pattern of criminality involving a number of lesser-known objects that were also part of the case — allegedly ancient lamps and Old Testament-era royal seal impressions that scientists said were fakes.
Prosecutors relied on a parade of archaeologists and other scholars. These men and women were accustomed to addressing respectful colleagues and students. They had no experience defending their conclusions against the highest-paid lawyers in Tel Aviv.
Like scholars and scientists everywhere, their work doesn't reach a level of precision that can withstand legal cross-examination. They acknowledge doubts. Their opinions don't always agree in the particulars, even when they arrive at a consensus.
And while the scientists for the state conducted their investigations and testified for free, the defense paid for-hire scientists, who were willing to say the objects at issue were entirely authentic.
And of course she's on the money too when she observes
Supporters of the ossuary and the other objects that had been discredited by the state's investigation hailed the acquittal as a legal stamp of approval.
The ossuary's loudest supporter is American lawyer and publisher Hershel Shanks, whose magazine Biblical Archaeology Review first revealed the object. Shanks has spent the last seven years attacking the "pack of scholars" at the Israel Antiquities Authority and one in particular, an archaeologist named Yuval Goren who found modern silicone glue in the carved ossuary inscription.
Goren, a vice dean of the faculty of humanities at Tel Aviv University, is a mild-mannered expert in materials that ancient craftsmen used to make pottery and art. He testified that a simulated patina had been applied over the inscription, a substance containing powdered calcite and limestone, charcoal and corroded bronze particles and adhered with modern glue he dubbed "James Bond." That testimony was discredited partly because the test Goren carried out removed the substance from the surface of the box.
Goren's findings were hardly the only evidence against Golan. Eventually an Israeli police officer tracked down an Egyptian who admitted having worked for Golan, creating objects that were meant to look ancient.
And brilliantly
Despite widespread knowledge of that stunning transcript and the damning workroom evidence reported by police, Golan's supporters made Goren a whipping boy at the courthouse and in biblical archaeology websites. Because he dared to cast doubt on the ossuary — and therefore on the literal truth of the Bible — his professionalism was trashed and he was variously called a religion-hating atheist, a hater of Israel and a self-hating Jew.
Attacking scientists is increasingly common as religious and ideological zealots flatly reject data that offend their creeds. Recently a pro-mining consortium threatened legal action against academic journals about to publish studies linking mining-related air pollution and lung cancer. Climate scientists whose work indicates that global warming is caused by humans' burning of fossil fuels now routinely receive hate mail and have had their emails systematically hacked by those who disagree, mostly on faith.
The methods used to discredit the best archaeologists in Israel — by seizing on minor data points or a minority of dissenters who deviate from the consensus — is exactly what happens in the debate about climate science. The non-expert public is then forced to choose which view makes the most sense.
For those who seek to prove that the Bible is literally true, the particulars of science matter little. They want tangible artifacts, and the details be damned. Israel Finkelstein, dean of archaeology at Tel Aviv University (whose work in Solomonic-era archaeology does not fit with Bible stories about Solomon) told me that if the state lost the ossuary case, we should expect a bumper crop of shady Bible-proving finds: "Inscriptions from the time of Solomon, from the time of David, the T-shirt of Moses, the crown of King Solomon, the sandals of Abraham. That's the future, if there is an acquittal."
Indeed. So read her whole essay. She's right.
Golan and his team bought acquittal the same way OJ did. Make no mistake about it.

The Royal Ontario Museum Will Not Display the 'James Ossuary' Again
There will not be a 10th-anniversary showing of the James ossuary later this year at Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum. "We'd need something new to say about [the ossuary]," said Dan Rahimi, the ROM's vice-president of gallery development. "If we have nothing new to say about it, it would just be sensationalism. … I don't really think we're in a more advanced position than before so I wouldn't bring it back."
Aww… Shanks will be very disappointed. After all, it was his doing to drag it there in the first place.
Mr. Rahimi, the ROM's director of collections management at the time, said the museum was first approached as a possible exhibitor of the ossuary by Hershel Shanks, the U.S.-based editor of the Biblical Archaeology Review, described by The New York Times as "the world's most influential amateur biblical archaeologist." Mr. Shanks was (and remains) an advocate for the ossuary's authenticity. He felt the ROM would be the perfect place to present it because Toronto was on tap to host conventions of three major organizations, including the Biblical Archaeological Society.
I wonder where Shanks/Golan/Simcha/Tabor will take it since they don't want it in Toronto. It will make the perfect companion display for the 'Jesus Discovery' ossuary because they're both bookends. Bookends of exaggeration and misrepresentation that is. Two for the price of one! Come one, come all, see what people can do when they put their minds to it (and there's money to make from it).

If I try to add a new post/page or edit an existing one I have no editor sidebar in the backend where the publish button is located. Therefore I am unable to write new posts.
Instead of the publish box there is a dashed empty box. Screenshot:
Already tried
- deactivating all plugins
- using the default theme
- re-upload of all files beside wp-config.php and wp-content
- clean install with new database
- clean 2.8.x and 2.9.x install
- deactivating Suhosin
Nothing worked. The publish button never came back. It was there in the past because I published the first post and everything worked fine.
I am still able to publish posts from the quickpress widget on the admin dashboard. Posts from the post editor are also saved as automatic drafts to the database.
Do you have any idea what could cause that or how to solve it?
