staff holiday until Jan. 3

The Ode Street Tribune's Managing Editor has instructed the Desk Editors to give all beat reporters a vacation, at regular pay, until Jan. 3, 2011.   All managers and editors will continue working.  They may even produce a post or two during this period.

Update: The editors produced no articles over this period.  That's typical editor productivity.  Fortunately, the Tribune's reporters are now back at work amidst the usual editorial beatings.
