Francois Hollande has been hailed as a hero during his one-day visit to Mali.
The French president pledged his sustained support for the west African country's efforts to expel Islamist militants.
Shortly after touching down, Hollande set about meeting some of the French forces engaged in the fight.
Alongside Mali's interim president, Dioncounda Traore, he praised French and Malian soliders but warned the "combat is not over."
In Timbuktu, Hollande was mobbed by people eager to thank him personally for giving France's support.
"We are proud. God thank France. France has saved the all word, not only Mali. François Hollande did well because thanks to him, we are free again," said one man among the thousands who turned out.
Timbuktu residents rejoiced at being freed from the severe version of Islamic law imposed by the rebels.
Before leaving, Hollande visited the Djingarei-ber or Grand Mosque and the Ahmed Baba Institute, a library of ancient manuscripts that was ransacked by the rebels.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.40 / 5.00 6,153 ViewsThis is basically me making fun of not just Sonic Generations, but pretty much the entire franchise. If you've never played a Sonic game, you probably won't get most of the jokes made, but you'll probably still laugh unintentionally.
And yes, I did create all the music.
Haha! Alright you hit me in the funny bone!
This is really good, Yes I've played sonic since I was a child & all the jokes are correct. This is most deserving of being passed through judgement.
Great stuff, animation isn't that bad, keep working at it. Sync alright, Music :D funny, You get a 9! and a 4!
Keep up the good work
Laughing out loud
Not only did you capture my nostalgia... You reminded me how much I ended up hating the game. But above all bravo dear chap bravo

It can be difficult to get into the habit of regular meditation. If you're struggling to establish a routine that includes meditation or you're finding that you just don't seem to be getting much out of the time you are spending, then don't give up hope. These 7 methods can help you quickly improve the quality of each meditation session you have.
#1. Mentally focus on staying relaxed. When meditation results aren't coming out as expected, then the first reaction that many people have is to tense up. If your muscles are tense, then your meditation will be just as tense. Instead of breathing deeply, try focusing on relaxing each tense muscle, one at a time.
#2. Consider adding pre-meditation rituals to your routine. Many people have found that prayer to their preferred higher power helps to settle their soul and get them ready to meditate. Others may drink a cup of tea to relax. Take a few minutes, get yourself settled instead of diving right into meditation, and you may experience different results.
#3. Commit to staying in your preferred position. Many of us get very anxious when the world feels like it begins to pass us by. Meditation forces us to slow life down and take matters one thought or one breath at a time. In a world of instant gratification, this can be difficult to accept. Commit to staying in your preferred meditation position longer than you want to experience better results.
#4. Focus on your third eye. This ancient advice to prolong internal stamina really does work. Instead of focusing toward the negativity that the ground represents, lift your eyes towards the hills and the nearly infinite universe that lies beyond. The oldest discovered solar system is estimated to be 11 billion years old. That's energy which flows through you right now. This realization helps to improve your overall concentration.
#5. Allow yourself to be still. It is so very hard to be still in the modern world. There always seems to be something that you could be doing. We even feel guilty sometimes if we're not actively doing something. Sitting still feels like we are doing nothing, but we really are doing something profound. Stillness during meditation allows us the chance to find the perfection in any given moment. By allowing yourself to be still, you are changing the focus of activity from outward tasks to inward observations.
#6. Refuse to multitask. Every time you switch to a new activity, you lose time. In meditation, focus on one thing only and make it as perfect as possible. Slow your breathing and stay on that the entire session if necessary. Calm your racing thoughts. You'll find that the results will be better because your focus will be directed toward the smaller details that make meditation better.
#7. Perfect practice makes perfect. You may begin to experience the benefits of meditation immediately, but it can take weeks to make new routines become a habit. The more you practice meditation in perfect ways, the more perfect this time will be for you.
Meditation has profound benefits, but it requires a series of conscious choices to take advantage of those benefits. Try these 7 tips today and you will be able to make the most out of the time you can commit to meditation in the future.

Power Rankings: Texas
Each week of the Sprint Cup season, ESPN The Magazine's Ryan McGee ranks the top 20 drivers in the series. Don't agree with McGee's list? Let him -- and the rest of the world -- know in the conversation section at the bottom of the page. But remember, make your mama proud.
New this week
Jeff Burton, Aric Almirola, Denny HamlinDropped out
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., David Ragan, Austin DillonBiggest mover
Jeff Burton jumps from unranked to 17th.Biggest loser
Kurt Busch falls five spots from seventh to 12th.Also considered
Juan Pablo Montoya, Marcos Ambrose, Red Byron
1. Matt Kenseth
He had to fight and claw his way into second, edging Clint Bowyer at the checkers. When we get to Homestead, remember that hard-earned point, as well as the bonus point for leading the most laps.2. Jimmie Johnson
If he doesn't win his sixth title, he'll look back on Martinsville and Charlotte as the places where he lost it. Owns second-best career Texas finish among all active drivers at 9.1. Who's first? Kenseth with 8.5.3. Jeff Gordon
Gordon's rookie season was my first year covering the sport, and we're the same age. So as long as he's still winning, I'm not yet old, right? He's not great at Texas, with four top-10s over his past 11 starts.4. Kyle Busch
The bad news? He led early but faded fast, finishing 15th and drifting back to 36 points behind the leaders. The good news? Guess who won the last time we raced at Texas?5. Kevin Harvick
It's no secret in the garage that Happy hasn't been, well, happy with RCR's grandson-driven future. But he'd managed to keep a lid on those feelings for so long. It couldn't wait a few more weeks?6. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's official. He's not going to win the championship. But a win and a top-five points finish, both real possibilities, is light years ahead of where this team was just three years ago.7. Clint Bowyer
Bowyer's late charge into the top three handed him his first top-5 since Michigan nine weeks ago. At Texas he's either very good -- eight top-10s -- or very generic -- seven finishes of 15th or worse.8. Greg Biffle
The Biff needs to be glad this is Martinsville '13 and not '53, '63, '73 or even '83. If he'd grabbed a driver by the neck like that back in the day, he would've gotten stabbed with a broken-off 'shine bottle.9. Carl Edwards
Speaking of old-school, Cuz brought his big chrome bumper to Martinsville, didn't he? In the early laps he hit more cars than my Aunt Louise trying to get out of the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.10. Jamie McMurray
Over the seven Chase races, Jamie Mac ranks ninth in points scored, ahead of four Chasers.11. Brad Keselowski
The Champ's argument against mandated concussion baseline testing is the best evidence I've seen yet as to why these guys need to have their brains checked.12. Kurt Busch
Got popped hard on Lap 204 and never recovered, finishing 18th. By the way, you need to read last week's ESPN.com story about Busch by my buddy Brant James.13. Ryan Newman
Kevin Harvick started his Sunday with an apology to Richard Childress Racing for his anti-Dillon tantrum and ended his Sunday with an apology to Newman for a Lap 319 accident that ended the 39's day.14. Joey Logano
Started sixth, finished 14th, moved up one spot to 11th in points. Not sure what I'm supposed to say here.15. Martin Truex Jr.
First, I have no idea how he finished 16th. Second, is there someone out there somewhere with a Truex voodoo doll just jamming pins into it day and night?16. Paul Menard
With three races remaining, the Hardware Man is looking at a 16th- to 17th-place points finish with probably nine top-10s. In other words, he's still Paul Menard.17. Jeff Burton
The Mayor gutted out an 11th-place finish in a car being held together by duct tape and bailing wire. He's a two-time Texas winner, but the last of his nine TMS top-10s came four years ago.18. Aric Almirola
His Maurice Petty tribute car was so banged up by race's end that it looked like it might have been the actual No. 41 Plymouth that Chief drove in '62.19. Kasey Kahne
Got spun on Lap 183 and somehow got his car so stuck in the tiny 10-foot swatch of grass that lines the inside of Turns 1 and 2 that he had to be towed out. And that's the perfect metaphor for his '13 Chase.20. Denny Hamlin
Just look at Hambone's Martinsville weekend as one big acting-out of the scene when Cole Trickle drills Rowdy Burns' back bumper at Darlington. "Remember me?"- ESPN The Magazine senior writer

2014's fast food atrocities
Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
Topics: John Aglialoro, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, John Galt, Entertainment News
The "Atlas Shrugged" trilogy is to be completed with "Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?," a project getting funded by Kickstarter.
Well, not exactly.
Speaking to Salon, producer and Cybex CEO John Aglialoro acknowledged, as he has elsewhere, that he already has the budget to make the film happen — it's to be a $10 million production, even though the first two "Atlas Shrugged" films have falled far short of that number at the box office. "This has a psychic value to people," said Aglialoro, who said that he was allowing people the opportunity to give money to something they are passionate about, rather than soliciting money. "I bought the rights to the book in August of 1992," he said, "and over 20 years, I've gotten not dozens, but hundreds, of checks and pleas to invest. I return the checks and say 'Thank you for your interest.'
"I'm giving people what they wanted, which is to be a part of the experience of this movie."
Despite what Aglialoro portrays as the interest in investing in "Atlas Shrugged," the franchise has thus far underperformed, with neither installment making even half of the new film's $10 million budget at the box office. (Aglialoro estimated that the first two films had, between them, a $30 million budget; they made, respectively, $4.6 million and $3.3 million.) Citing press coverage in the financial press — "Forbes, Barron's" — Aglialoro had been surprised at the first film's fizzling out at the box office. "I thought it'd do better than what it did."
"The box office is dismal," said Aglialoro. "If you put in a dollar and get back 25 cents, from an investor's point of view, one would not triple up on a business if those are the results. But this is a commitment I made to myself to get this thing done. I never thought the financials would be this bad, but it's not strictly a business transaction. This is the business of the heart."
Aglialoro indicated that he hoped liberals would, eventually, come around to the book, and to the film franchise. "I'd like to speak to the MSNBC crowd," he said. "So much of what Ayn Rand believed was liberal — gay rights, and she thought the drug policy was a total disaster. She hated the Vietnam War. I'm waiting for the left to come to me and say, 'I hate that woman — but I love her social issues.'"
There are 25 days to go in the Kickstarter campaign that will have no bearing over whether the third "Atlas Shrugged" film gets made; it has already raised over $150,000 of its $250,000 goal.

McDonald's Black Burger: Because the laws of competition say that once Burger King introduces a black cheeseburger, it's only a matter of time before McDonald's follows suit. You still don't have to eat it.
Domino's Specialty Chicken: It's like regular pizza, except instead of a crust, there's fried chicken. The company's marketing officer calls it "one of the most creative, innovative menu items we have ever had" -- brain power put to good use.
Arby's Meat Mountain: The viral off-menu product containing eight different types of meat that, on second read, was probably engineered by Arby's all along. Horrific, regardless.
KFC'S ZINGER DOUBLE DOWN KING: A sandwich made by adding a burger patty to the infamous chicken-instead-of-buns creation can only be described using all caps. NO BUN ALL MEAT. Only available in South Korea.
Taco Bell's Waffle Taco: It took two years for Taco Bell to develop this waffle folded in the shape of a taco, the stand-out star of its new breakfast menu.
Krispy Kreme Triple Cheeseburger: Only attendees at the San Diego County Fair were given the opportunity to taste the official version of this donut-hamburger-heart attack combo. The rest of America has reasonable odds of not dropping dead tomorrow.
Taco Bell's Quesarito: A burrito wrapped in a quesadilla inside an enigma. Quarantined to one store in Oklahoma City.
Boston Pizza's Pizza Cake: The people's choice winner of a Canadian pizza chain's contest whose real aim, we'd imagine, is to prove that there's no such thing as "too far." Currently in development.
7-Eleven's Doritos Loaded: "For something decadent and artificial by design," wrote one impassioned reviewer, "it only tasted of the latter."

NBA Finals Game 5: Ginobili, Green hit every shot it seems, Spurs win 114-104
Jun 16, 2013, 9:10 PM EST
SAN ANTONIO — All season long, when the Heat would crank up their defense and make a run, other teams wilted.
San Antonio stood up the the runs, executed, hit open shots and a lot of tough ones, and won 114-104 to take a 3-2 series lead. San Antonio will have two chances on the Heat's home court to win one game and get a fifth banner for the AT&T Center.
Tony Parker had 26 points on 14 shots, Manu Ginobili started the game and came back to life with 24, and Danny Green also had 24 including six threes. Green is now the all-time three point leader for the NBA finals.
Game 6 is Tuesday night.
END OF FOURTH QUARTER: 114-104 Spurs win, they take a 3-2 series lead back to Miami. They can win one there, they couldn't have done two.
:10 Fourth Quarter: Spurs fans mock the Heat fans a little with a Seven Nations Army chant.
1:06 Fourth Quarter: Heat got the lead down to single digits but a big driving layup from Tony Parker and another Green three and it is 114-101 Spurs. That three was your dagger.
2:32 Fourth Quarter: Heat make a run to cut the lead down to 11, really pressuring on defense, but Spurs still hitting tough shots. 109-98 Spurs. (Sorry for the slow updates, some serious wifi issues here, lost a couple updates because of it.)
5:18 Fourth Quarter: Tony Parker gets M-V-P chants at the free throw line. Spurs lead still 15.
6:24 Fourth Quarter: Much more active Heat defense, but that can't stop the Duncan bank and the Manu fadeaway. 102-87 Spurs.
7:23 Fourth Quarter: Chris Bosh dunks and cuts the Spurs' lead to 13. Pop calls a timeout because there is a whole lot of game left.
8:07 Fourth Quarter: Danny Green driving layup puts lead up to 18, but a Heat three makes it 15.
9:31 Fourth Quarter: No mascot does more costume changes than the Spurs Coyote. I'm not sure Quick Change does this many costume changes.
9:31 Fourth Quarter: Spurs are just executing at both ends brilliantly. 19 point lead and another blowout.
10:31 Fourth Quarter: Haslem is -20 in this game, why not try Birdman in that role? Meanwhile the Spurs just keep executing and have a 17-point lead.
10:31 Fourth Quarter: The commitment to going small by the Heat has meant no Birdman to protect the rim, they are paying a price for that tonight.
10:45 Fourth Quarter: Spurs defense has Heat settling in the midrange again. And they continue to miss. San Antonio just outplaying Heat everywhere. 89-75 Spurs.
END OF THE THIRD QUARTER: All season long the Heat have went on runs and just melted the opponent away. The Spurs do not go away and are standing tough. Heat resorting to a lot of isolation ball.
END OF THE THIRD QUARTER: San Antonio went on 12-1 run to end the quarter, not coincidentally they stopped turning the ball over.
END OF THE THIRD QUARTER: 87-75 Spurs, Manu Ginobili just torched Norris Cole again.
1:01 Third Quarter: Tiago Splitter reverse layup makes it an 11 point Spurs lead.
2:21 Third Quarter: Manu Ginobili with the and-1 on Ray Allen. The Spurs are playing good defense and after another Manu bucket it is 83-74 Spurs.
3:01 Third Quarter: It's a one-point game on an interesting and-1 Wade hit a midrange and somehow Ginobili got called for a foul when Battier set an illegal screen on him. Green answered with a three 78-74 Spurs.
3:53 Third Quarter: It just feels like there is one more big Heat run left and the question is will the Spurs stand up to it like they have the others?
4:35 Third Quarter: LeBron settles for a three, Tony Parker takes the outlet and goes coast to coast for a layup. 75-69 Spurs.
5:09 Third Quarter: LeBron now blocked on a transition bucket by Danny Green, the Heat are getting the turnovers and shots they want, but not converting. That may well haunt them. 73-67 Spurs.
7:11 Third Quarter: Chalmers picks up his fourth foul. Heat are just losing guys on defense and the Spurs exploit that stuff. Plus Wade just missed a transition layup.
7:47 Third Quarter: Chalmers hits a three, 70-65 Spurs.
9:02 Third Quarter: Danny Green is human, he missed a wide open one.
9:39 Third Quarter: With that 23rd three of this series, Danny Green now holds the NBA Finals record. Early in the third quarter of Game 5. Ridiculous.
9:39 Third Quarter: LeBron and Wade try to close out on a Danny Green three. It doesn't matter. Green is money. 66-59 Spurs.
10:55 Third Quarter: Heat open second half with LeBron three, LeBron steal leads to Chalmers three, Mike Miller steal to LeBron for foul in transition and suddenly it is 61-59 Spurs. And we have a game.
HALFTIME: Miami Heat shoot 10-15 in the restricted area, 3-14 from the midrange, 4-10 from three. The Spurs were just hot from everywhere.
HALFTIME: Heat shooting 42.2 percent, take LeBron out of that equation and it drops to 38.2 percent. LeBron James has 16 points, Dwyane Wade has 14, Chris Bosh 10.
HALFTIME: Spurs shoot 61.8 percent for the half. Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard have 13 points each, Tony Parker 11, Manu Ginobili 11 and 6 assits.
HALFTIME: 61-52 Spurs. Half ends with Tony Parker attacking off the dribble, getting all the way to the rim with nobody contesting him. Fitting.
1:15 Second Quarter: Duncan didn't get a call when he was fouled, LeBron didn't get a call when he was fouled. Things even out like that. Shane Battier just made a stupid foul on Ginobili (Manu sold that a little but there was contact when there shouldn't have been). 57-47 Spurs.
2:14 Second Quarter: Teams kind of trading buckets for a stretch, but Spurs ran horns then got LeBron on the block against Green. LeBron winst that matchup. 52-47 Spurs.
3:24 Second Quarter: Heat made this little run with a point guard-less lineup. Wade and LeBron the ball handlers. LeBron on Parker 49-42 Spurs.
5:08 Second Quarter: Parker fouls Ray Allen on a made three. Four point play makes it 47-40 Spurs, crowd getting restless here.
5:45 Second Quarter: According to scouting service Synergy sports, Danny Green is making 74% of his catch-and-shoot 3s in the finals.
5:45 Second Quarter: The music played in the two arenas is dramatically different, let's say. Haven't heard Def Leopard at a game in a long time… didn't miss it either.
5:45 Second Quarter: Quick 6-0 Heat run and it is 47-36 Spurs and Pop calls a timeout. Key play was a Bosh block on Dunan.
6:41 Second Quarter: Danny Green's last three tied the record of 22 made threes in a Finals series. That was a beauty, a catch-and-release right over Ray Allen (ironically). 47-30 Spurs.
7:30 Second Quarter: Heat trying to drive and dish out for open looks, but that only works if you hit them. The Heat are not, Spurs are packing the paint.
7:30 Second Quarter: Another Danny Green three and it is 42-26 Spurs. That is 16 points for those of you not good at math.
8:35 Second Quarter: Great Spurs ball movement to a Danny Green three. 39-24 Spurs
8:59 Second Quarter: Live Mariachi band music between quarters… and they are dang good.
8:59 Second Quarter: Spurs doing it with balance — Duncan, Parker, Ginobili all with 7, Leonard with 9.
9:38 Second Quarter: Spurs are very active on defense, sticking with the shooters at the arc but cutting off driving lanes. Best game they have played this series so far. 36-22 Spurs.
11:05 Second Quarter: Tiago Splitter with a dunk at one end, then a block at the other. Then he fumbled one out of bounds. 34-22 Spurs.
START OF SECOND QUARTER: Looking at the shot chart, Miami took seven midrange shots in the first quarter, hit one of them.
END OF FIRST QUARTER: Spurs hit 12-of-19 in the first quarter, the Heat just 6-of-20. You can measure the Heat by how good their defense on any given night, and the Spurs are destroying them.
END OF FIRST QUARTER: A Kawhi Leonard three makes it 32-19 after one.
1:01 First Quarter: Borris Diaw with the offensive rebound — he beat Chalmers to a loose ball — and a dish to Leonard for the dunk makes it a 12-point Spurs lead. So much for weathering the storm, Miami.
2:29 First Quarter: Spurs on 10-0 run, and 8 of that is Tony Parker just attacking Norris Cole. Spurs also packing paint and Heat settling. 27-17 Spurs.
3:17 First Quarter: Last three Spurs possessions Parker just attacked. Last two LeBron possessions he settled for pullups. 23-17 Spurs.
3:46 First Quarter: Heat open shooting 5-of-13. They are getting points by attacking and fouls but not shooting well. Spurs 8-of-14 to start.
3:46 First Quarter: Parker just blows by Cole again — and there is no help rotations behind Cole, either. 21-17 Spurs.
4:09 First Quarter: Norris Cole comes in and just gets his ankles broken by Tony Parker, then bricks a three. 19-17 Spurs.
4:40 First Quarter: Heat offensive rebound leads to a LeBron three and we are tied 17-17.
5:56 First Quarter: Danny Green in for Ginobili. Great start for a guy who struggled in the playoffs.
6:43 First Quarter: After review Ginobili's first three, it is a two, he was on the line. 15-12 Spurs.
6:43 First Quarter: This small ball is so much fun to watch — fast paced, guys attacking and others knocking down three. Why does everybody think this is a fad again? You can win this way if you have talent.
6:43 First Quarter: If you're the Heat, you say that you have withstood the the Spurs initial charge and are only down 16-12 midway through the first.
7:11 First Quarter: That Popovich guy is smart, another Manu three. 16-10 Spurs.
8:54 First Quarter: Ginobili with five points and three assits so far, 13-8 Spurs.
9:57 First Quarter: After a pair of Ginobili free throws, LeBron got the ball and just put his head down and drove the lane. He's motivated. But then he blew a dunk in transition. 9-6 Spurs.
10:45 First Quarter: Duncan with a nice dunk. Wade has all Miami's points 7-4 Spurs.
11:36 First Quarter: Ginobili opens the game with a three over Leonard. That might get him going.
12:00 First Quarter: Mike Miller has a pregame ritual of jumping up and grabbing the rim in a dunk like motion where he pulls himself up. Probably will not see that during the game.
12:00 First Quarter: Crowd just goes nuts for Ginobili.
12:00 First Quarter: Darius Rucker — Hootie himself — sings the national anthem. Pretty good version.
12:00 First Quarter: When you hang out in San Antonio and walk around for a week, what you see are more Ginobili 20 jerseys than anything. More than Parker, more than Duncan, more than anyone. This city loves Manu.
12:00 First Quarter: Shirt for the night here in San Antonio is a black shirt with a big Spur on it.
12:00 First Quarter: It's official, Manu Ginobili will start for the Spurs. Gregg Popovich had said the Spurs were concerned about the Heat's small ball lineup, looks like this is his answer.
12:00 First Quarter: This is not official, but according to the stats monitors in house here Manu Ginobili is starting for the Spurs tonight. We will see.
12:00 First Quarter: We are still waiting on word of the Spurs starting lineup for tonight and if they change it up to match the Heat, who will again start Mike Miller over Udonis Haslem.
SAN ANTONIO — Welcome to the PBT Live Blog for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The series is 2-2 and it just feels like the winner of this game is going to take the whole thing.

Chicago Cubs Prospect Javier Baez Hits Four Home Runs in Minor League Game
It is not everyday that you see a performance like this.
On Monday night, Chicago Cubs shortstop prospect Javier Baez slugged four home runs in a game for the Daytona Cubs, the Class-A affiliate of the Cubs. Before the season, Baez was ranked the 16th best prospect in all of baseball according to Baseball America. While he did struggle a bit to start the season, Baez has been destroying the baseball recently and is proving why many scouts consider him to be a top-of-the-line prospect.
In 57 games at Daytona this season, Baez is hitting .291/.339/.570 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs. With the young shortstop starting to turn things around, I expect those numbers to continue to rise rapidly.
Baez was selected in the first round (ninth overall) by the Cubs in 2011. As his 133 career strikeouts compared to 25 walks indicates, the free-swinging Baez has struggled early in his professional career with plate discipline. There is no doubt that he has to work on that and is erratic defense before he is ready to reach the big leagues.
That being said, his bat is legit. Baez has arguably the best bat speed in all of minor league baseball and that helps him generate an incredible amount of power with his bat. While his defense and plate discipline are concerning, the raw skills are there for Baez to be a star.
The Cubs minor league system has grown significantly over the past few years, and Baez is on top of the list. With the recent addition of 2013 no. 2 overall pick Kris Bryant to an already impressive group of offensive prospects including Baez, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler, the Cubs arguably have more offensive talent in their minor league system than any other team.
Soler, Almora and Bryant all appear to be safer bets to make the majors than Baez, but none have the raw upside of the young shortstop. If Baez grows and actually reaches his potential, watch out, because we could be watching one of the all-time greats.

Family values: were dinosaurs the first social creatures?
Monday 09 February 2009
The majority of dinosaurs were peaceful, plant-eating creatures that developed the Earth's first strong social communities.
Herds, packs and families of dinosaurs were commonplace. Many fossils have been found where groups of dinosaurs died together, such as the ones which sank in the quicksand off the Isle of Wight. In Alberta, Canada, a mass grave has been discovered containing at least 300 grazing dinosaurs of all ages and sizes. This herd was swept to death by a flash flood while trying to cross a deep river. In Montana, in the USA, an even bigger herd of about 10,000 dinosaurs has been discovered. These creatures were poisoned by volcanic gases and buried in ash. Their fossilised bones stretch out in a straight line for more than a mile.
Modern understanding of how dinosaurs lived together was transformed by a fossil specialist called Dr Jack Horner, who made a most extraordinary discovery in the mid-1970s. Horner and his team were fossil-hunting in Montana when they came across America's first dinosaur nesting site. They found a number of dinosaur eggs as well as the fossilised remains of baby dinosaur embryos. They called these creatures Maiasaura, which means "good mother lizard". Each season Maiasaura returned to the same breeding grounds where they refurbished their old nests. These dinosaurs lived in colonies and looked after their young in herds until they were old enough to start families of their own. Here, beyond all reasonable doubt, lie the origins of the family unit. More than 200 dinosaur-egg sites have now been found across the world. The eggs range in size from as small as a pebble to as big as a football.
Other dinosaur-like creatures, too numerous to mention, also lived through these times. The pterosaurs were enormous flying reptiles that dominated the prehistoric skies. One of them holds the world record for biggest wingspan of any creature ever to have lived. At nearly 20m across, its wings were as large as those of a Second World War Spitfire.
A mystery of feathered flight: where did the world's first birds come from?
Hermann von Meyer, a German fossil-hunter, thought he'd got the answer to this puzzle in 1861 when he announced the discovery of what he claimed was the first ever bird. He called it Archaeopteryx. It was about the same size as a modern magpie, and was definitely bird-like. Its feathers were arranged in just the same way as modern birds', with an aerodynamic configuration to make flight possible. It even had bird-like claws on its legs, and a wishbone.
Von Meyer's fossil dated back some 140 million years, at about the same time that the first flowers were beginning to bloom ( see Part 2). Since then, a further 10 Archaeopteryx specimens have been found in a region of Germany called Solnhofen. But for years a mystery remained. From what did these creatures descend, and how did they learn to fly? So perplexing was this puzzle that the birds were shunted into their own separate group, neither reptiles like the dinosaurs, or mammals like man. They were just, well, birds.
Then, in 1995, Chinese scientists announced that they had dug out a fossil which proved conclusively that some dinosaurs did indeed have down-like feathers. Sinosauropteryx caused a sensation. It was a small, 1.5m-long, two-legged dinosaur with the jaws and flattened teeth typical of meat-eating dinosaurs. It had clawed fingers, and its hind limbs show that it must have been a fast runner. At last, the puzzle of where birds descended from seemed to have been solved. They are indeed the last and only surviving branch of the dinosaurs. But this still left several perplexing questions unanswered.
Sinosauropteryx feathers show no signs of the aerodynamics needed for lifting a body into the air. It couldn't fly. So what were its feathers for? Experts began to think that perhaps feathers were not originally intended as equipment for flight at all. Perhaps it was only later, by some freak or accident, that they became adapted for the purpose. Small dinosaurs may have developed feathers as a way of keeping warm – a form of insulation.
Feathers are now thought to have been common on all kinds of dinosaurs. The reason this has only recently come to light is that feathers are not normally preserved in fossils.
Lots of dino-birds have now been discovered in China's treasure trove of fossils and bones. One of the most famous is Dave, the fuzzy raptor, unearthed in 2000. He was covered from head to tail in a coat of fine feathers, although they weren't designed for flight.
The final part of the bird riddle remains unsolved. How and when did they adapt their insulating feathers into wings for flight? Did they jump from the trees after spying a tasty meal from on high, swooping down to snatch their prey? Or did they run along the ground, perhaps trying to escape some other hungry beast, and flap up to safety? No one is certain, although another recent fossil from China's "Pompeii", a microraptor, suggests the "top-down" theory, because it has both the right kind of feathers for flight and the right sort of claws for climbing trees. But just how and when its feathers of flight evolved is still a mystery, whose answers probably lie somewhere in rocks still waiting to be found.

What the numbers say about shooting homicides in Toronto
Despite three deaths of boys under 16 in the past month, data from the past two decades doesn't point to a lethal new trend.
In the past 25 days, the GTA has lost three young lives before their 16th birthdays:
The Star has been compiling data on homicides in the City of Toronto for two decades, based primarily on police reports.
Since 1990, only 23 youth 16 or younger have been killed by guns (Williams is not part of this statistic, as the data only covers Toronto proper).
The first was Bruce Olayinka, also 15, who was shot in the chest inside his Scarborough home in 1990.
Between the end of 1991 and 1996 there were no shooting homicides of youth 16 and under. There was a similar gap between the summer of 1999 and the "Summer of the Gun" in 2005 — a year capped by the shooting death of 15-year-old Jane Creba, caught in crossfire just north of the Eaton Centre on Boxing Day.
The worst year for youth gun deaths was 2010, which saw four: two 16-year-olds and two 15-year-olds. Two other years, 1991 and 2007, each had three youth shooting fatalities.
So with three boys already killed by guns in 2013, is there any data to suggest the average age of shooting homicides is decreasing?
Anthony Doob, a professor of criminology at the University of Toronto, said that while anecdotal evidence may suggest we're on track for an increase in youth gun deaths, the bigger picture should allay such fears.
"From your data it appears to me that there are few very young gun homicide victims generally," Doob wrote in an email to the Star. "Hence when there are a small number in close (temporal) proximity, it makes us think that there is a 'trend' when in fact, there may simply be independent events that happened not be spaced out evenly over time."
The average age of shooting homicide victims reached a high of 39 years old in 1995 and dipped to the mid-20s in the past five years. While that suggests the average age of victims is heading downward, the numbers continue to fluctuate, trending down for a few years before spiking higher again.
In 2007 the average age for shooting homicide victims was 29; over the next three years it decreased to 24, but in 2011 it rose again to 26.
It remains to be seen where the average will fall in 2013.

Wow, from "how it's made" down to "how it's cheaply and quickly knocked out in the third world". Pitiful this is the new normal, thankfully companies like Shimano still put crap like this to shame.
Finally I get to see the crap machine and the bums who put out those crap wheels that I have to spend a half hour truing when they come out of a box "factory fresh". Give me a stand, dishing tool, a spoke wrench and some experienced fingers any day. Give just 1 finger to Alex wheels and the beancounters who spec them on nearly every bike under $1200.

Panel of constitutional advocates joins citizens at Rockford town hall
From press release
As a follow-up to the recent town hall meetings held by senators and House representatives across the United States, a group of local citizens have invited a panel of 10 experts from around the state of Illinois to join in the discussion of the constitutionality of various legislation. Topics will include health care reform, income taxes, and cap and trade.
The town hall meeting will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 24, at Veterans Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St., in downtown Rockford. The panel of advocates have been assembled from around the state; some of the members include Kurt Kallenbach, the man who completed the
One-Man March to Washington, D.C.
; Dr. Bob Pfluger, Ph.D.; Ray Swenson, professor of U.S. history at Rock Valley College; Pastor Ron Teed, of Village Church of Wheaton; and Rick Wos, from Morton Grove.
The meeting was scheduled because after the recent town hall meetings with representatives, some citizens have been left with more questions than answers. Many questions were directed toward the constitutionality of various legislation, including H.R. 3200 (America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009), so these experts will offer definitive answers and make recommendations as to what can be done. The panel will discuss the impact of constitutionality of various issues and will field questions from the public.

Let's talk about breakin' a sweat. Bustin' a move. Throwin' down a WOD.We do it. We live it. We're about it. So shouldn't we track it? Life before my Polar FT40 was like a life without chocolate (or coffee… or insert your obsession here).Ergo, oh-my-gosh-unbearable. You know it's getting REAL when I bring up chocolate. All jokes aside, I really do love this bad boy. Let's discuss. If you're like me, you've been seeing these pictures of watches displaying calories burned, heart rate, etc ALL OVER INSTAGRAM and TWITTER. What's the deal-io? Polar USA is. With the New Year upon us, it's time for resolutions, goal-setting, and becoming healthy once and for all. The key to any fitness goal is to exercise at the right intensity, not too hard OR too easy. The only accurate measure of your individualized intensity is your heart rate. This is where a heart rate monitor (HRM) comes into play and SAVES THE DAY. Whether you are new to fitness or an elite athlete, you can reap the benefits. What is a heart rate monitor anyway?Take a look at this amazingly information video from Sarah over at SarahFit.com for the simple answer. And read on for my personal take. So, a HEART RATE MONITOR is a monitor that… {wait for it} tracks your heart rate. With this in mind, Polar takes it a step further with their cutting edge technology. They invented the first heart rate monitor over 30 years ago; so they most definitely know what's up. A Polar HRM is the easiest and most effective way to continuously measure your heart rate, tracking your progress and performance. Thanks to FitFluential and Polar USA , I was given the opportunity to review the FT40 model. From the moment I opened the box, I couldn't contain my excitement. I am a fitness-aholic, but I also would take those numbers on the machines as "accurate." You know, the accuracy of the treadmill readings of 14,563 burned calories? Silly, silly me.From the moment I broke open the box (I was impatient; RIP box), it was so simple to set up and configure my heart rate monitor. After a few simple settings, it was ready to rumble. The instructions were very clear and simplistic. On my first evening with the watch, I took my puppy for a walk. A 20 minute walk around the block–let's see where this really gets me. As you can see, the HRM tracks individualized performance based on heart rate variability. This is perhaps one of the most unique features of the product. You can run on a treadmill (putting in your height, weight, etc.) but the accuracy will inevitably fail you. With a Polar HRM, you get an accurate estimation every single time. The Energy Pointer keeps it simple; the wrist unit displays two heart rate zones allowing you to easily monitor your intensity. The Smart Calorie feature displays the calories you burn during a particular workout, and Polar states it "has been validated to be the most accurate estimation of calories burned commercially available." You are able to track your average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and your heart rate throughout your workout. By doing so, you can figure out the intensity of your workout. It's quite the motivation. Read more about training at the right intensity here . These are the two aspects to this monitor–the wrist unit (watch) and a heart rate sensor that you strap under your chest. Sorry, no pictures of the chest strap. I took a few… but couldn't bring myself to post them. I didn't think you needed a belly pic to get the picture anyhow. At least I hope not. You strap a WHAT… where?Yes, I was skeptical of the strap as well. But, not anymore. This model comes with a strap that is both soft and comfortable; I don't even notice it during any form of exercise–cardio, weight-training, etc. It's easy to use and discrete, even under a tightly fitted top. Plus, a heart rate monitor is NOT EFFECTIVE without this strap… no matter what they say. On Christmas Eve, my father and I went for a 4-mile run, followed by a special WOD of EPIC proportions. Dad was exhausted and sore for days; this means I made up a GREAT workout, huh? AND, as many of you know, I am now CrossFit-ing . This posed the perfect challenge for my HRM. Tracking cardio was one thing, but if it could give me insight into my weight-training workouts, I would be S-O-L-D. I put it to the test and it passed with flying colors. I have to admit I was a bit surprised at how many less calories I burned during weight-training. But, I did find it interesting that much of my weight-training consisted of FAT BURN vs. the typical CALORIE BURN of cardio. Not to mention, I have used my Polar HRM to track my "after-burn," which yes… actually exists. This HRM shows me that even after my CrossFit WODs, I am burn, burn, burning at a rapid and increased rate. How cool is that? I can dig it. And what fun would a new toy be if I didn't put it to the test every now and then with some Just Dance?Every THREE songs of Just Dance burns over 100 calories! #polarusa #FitFluential Disclosure: I received this product for review purposes from FitFluential LLC and Polar USA.
