...with science." Yoni Mizrahi, an independent archaeologist formerly with the IAA, concurs: "You'd think from Elad's guides that they'd excavated a sign saying WELCOME TO DAVID'S PALACE. Their attitude seems to be that if you believe in the Bible, you don't need proof." Raphael Greenberg, lecturer at Tel Aviv University, says Elad ignores key archaeological practices. "You're supposed to dig for six weeks and then report on what you find. In the City of David, they've been digging nonstop for two years without a satisfactory report," Greenberg says. He accuses Elad of using...
...Last November, a polling firm with close ties to the White House, Greenberg, Quinlan Rosner Research, released a memo warning of the punishment that could await Democrats at the polls in 2010 if unemployment remains high and no steps are taken to deal with voter concerns about the deficit. The memo also cited polling showing many voters may be sympathetic to populist appeals. When asked to choose from a list what makes them most upset, 40% of respondents chose the phrase "big banks and Wall Street getting handouts while nothing is done for working Americans" as either their first...
...wake of the financial crisis as Goldman Sachs. Once seen as one of the best-run companies in America, in the past year more and more people have come to view Goldman's outsized profits as a product of backdoor dealings and market manipulation.

...Ryan Greenberg, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Information, has assembled a list of more than 200 such sites. "It's your chance to get 15 seconds of fame on the Internet," explains Greenberg, whose 2008 paper on the subject is available at IsThisYourPaperOnSingleServingSites.com. "There's something innately funny about a website that goes on for 60 characters, or an entire sentence...
...built [the Balloon Boy site] is exactly how I would have done it in 1996. There's a lot of nostalgia involved." Tech blogger Jason Kottke coined the "single-serving" moniker and listed some favorites in a 2008 blog post - a move that prompted a rush of new entries, Greenberg says. Around the same time, writer Mathew Honan created BarackObamaIsYourNewBicycle.com, a fanciful site listing all the considerate things the then candidate had supposedly done for you ("Barack Obama shoveled the snow from your walkway," etc.). The meme inspired numerous imitators and, like many popular Internet gags, is now available...
