Mesohippus bairdi
Early Oligocene
Brule Formation
White River Badlands
South Dakota
Mesohippus (literally "middle horse") was a common early horse in North America which lived some 30 to 40 million years ago. It had longer legs that its predecessor Eohippus and had lost a toe becoming a three-toed horse (odd-toed ungulate). Its teeth were low crowned unlike earlier horses and contained a single gap behind the front teeth - where the bit now rests in the modern horse. It also had an extra grinding tooth for a total of six. This ancestral horse was a browser that fed on tender twigs and fruit. It had a larger cranial cavity and featured a brain that was similar to that of modern horses. This superlative specimen has phenomenally preserved teeth - often the only fossil remnants found of these ancient horses - as their bones were so thin they were not likely to be fossilized. Of particular note, the piece has a series of five articulated vertebrae protruding from the back of the skull which curve under the bottom jaw as to be expected. This self-collected fossil was literally the "find of a lifetime" for the owner as the well-preserved horse fossil is a holy grail for any serious Badlands fossil hunter. This fossil skull exhibits only minor restoration with a small patch at the tip of the snout.This piece is a museum-quality specimen that should appeal to any serious collector. Horse fossils of this quality from the Badlands are simply not prevalent. This skull is superb evaluated from any angle and is a prize to truly be treasured.
Measurements: 8 x 5 x 3 inches (20.32 x 12.7 x 7.62 cm).
Offered at no reserve.
Provenance: A Private Texas Collection; Self-collected

Recruit - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with three men getting out of a vehicle and entering a small building; this is in Afghanistan. Their movements are being watched by the marines. The marines have a positive id on target AAA and launch an attack on the building. One of the targets exits the building and the building blows up. The man runs away. Next, Callen is standing at his sister's grave and Hetty tells him that he should replace the hedge stone with the correct name. He tells her that this helps him pretend to think that his sister is out there somewhere. Sam has got a new chair and he wants his old one back. Eric says that it is gone for charity.
Sam is not okay with it and wants Eric to get back his old chair. Well, it is on its way to a girls' school in Nigeria. Sorry Sam! Sam throws his chair to the ground and breaks it!! Next, Nell educates the team about Adnan Al-Ahmadi; also known as AAA. He is a bomb maker for Al-Qaeda. He nearly escaped a drone strike. When they checked the place, they identified the remains of a lot of his associates and one of them is an American Marine; David Adams. His investment ended 18 months ago and so he isn't supposed to be in the Middle East. They need to find out what he was doing in Afghanistan. Adams comes from a highly decorated Marine family. The family is refusing to accept that David was in Afghanistan; let alone that he is dead.
Callen and Sam go to talk to Marine officer Denise Young. Young tells them that Ahmadi has always been one step ahead of them and that they have recovered documents from him which show that he has in depth knowledge of their operational procedures. Fortunately most of them are outdated but they are all classified. And that could have gone to them only through someone from the Marine unit. They suspect David. But Sam says that David did not display any such tendencies when he was in the core. So, why turn traitor now? Kensi and Deeks are talk to David's parents and his mother tells them that David was glad that his tour ended. He liked being a Marine but he was eager to start a new chapter of his life.
His father tells them that he promised them that he would return in one piece. David loved his girlfriend to death and was also planning to join school. So there is no way that he would have gone back to Afghanistan. He doesn't know much about what David did as it was mostly classified. Deeks asks him that if it wasn't David, who was killed, then where is his son? Eric and Nell find out that eight days ago, David took his first flight from LA to Cincinnati and then changed multiple flights till he arrived Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, Kensi, Deeks, Sam, and Callen try to figure out why David went back to Afghanistan. They think that since David had access to a lot of intel, he probably went to make profit out of something he found.
Eric calls Callen and tells him that they found proof that David went to Abu Dhabi but haven't found out how he got into Afghanistan. Also, there was a $2500 deposit made into his account that originated in Dubai. Deeks and Kensi go to talk to David's girlfriend, Mary Clark. Mary is sure that there is no reason for David to go back to his Afghanistan. They tell Mary that David quit his job two weeks ago. Mary tells them that David got a new job in Alaska in an oil company. He changed his job as she is pregnant and that David thought that they are going to need more money now. He didn't tell his parents anything as he was waiting for the right time. Callen and Sam then talk to Jason Smith, a man who took two tours with David to Afghanistan.
Smith tells them that David was very sympathetic towards the Afghanis and thought that they required a lot of help; but he was not a traitor. Smith thinks that if David went to Afghanistan without telling anyone then his first guess is that David was working for the CIA. Hetty gets off the phone and tells her team that Langley swears that David was not working for the CIA. Eric and Nell find out that David was hired by a company named ATAMA, which provides security and protection all over the world. It is a private security firm; high pay for a dangerous job and that is why David did not tell anybody about his new job. Hetty tells her team to turn the heat up at ATAMA security. Callen and Sam go to the security company.
The place is empty. They announce themselves and a guy begins shooting at them. Nice customer service! They manage to tackle the guy and take him to the office. His name is Danny Levian. Danny tells them that he only answers the phones and there is no one else in the office. There is another guy named Jones who also is in the office; but he hasn't seen him since last week. Callen tries to intimidate him and asks him about David. But Danny denies recognition. Meanwhile, Eric and Nell are at the ATAMA office. They soon figure that an ATAMA security is a scam; but that still doesn't explain why David was in Afghanistan. Eric and Nell update the team that four of the employees of ATAMA were former military and the rest are missing. These guys were never heard from after reaching Dubai.
They claim that they are a decade old company, Eric still hasn't been able to trace their origins before the last three months, and he still couldn't find out where they are based. So it is a glorified company for identity thefts; but someone still wired money to these guys. Why? It turns out that they aren't only stealing identities; they are stealing people and supplying them to people like Ahmadi. Callen and Sam tell Hetty that they want to go to Dubai. After a bit of reluctance, Hetty agrees. In Dubai, a man is waiting for someone named John Harris. Hetty, Nell, and Eric are watching them through the button cameras that are installed on the team. Sam stops Harris from reaching this man and Callen walks up to this guy as John Harris. But he doesn't buy it.
Deeks tases the man and Kensi takes him away on a wheel chair. But all this is done smoothly and no one in the crowded airport senses anything wrong. They bring the man to a desert and ask him about Ahmadi and threaten to kill him if he doesn't co-operate. Next, they drive to a torn down building. Callen is sitting next to that man with his gun aimed at him. Sam gets off the running vehicle and sneaks into that building. Callen introduces himself as John Harris. Ahmadi senses that something isn't right. Just then a woman (Kensi) arrives wearing a burkha and Deeks arrives in a cab. A gun fight ensues and the team has Ahmadi and Omar, the guy from the airport, at their gun point.
Hetty is happy with her team's work. The team is on their flight back home, and Deeks is showing his vacation photos to Kensi. She isn't interested in seeing them at all. She is glad when Sam shows interests in seeing those pictures and she gets up and sits next to Callen. Hetty is in the ops area and she turns on the surveillance screen. She sees that Kensi is sleeping on Callen's shoulders and Deeks is resting his head on Sam's shoulders. She laughs. The episode ends.

Rodgers' younger brother Jordan signs with Jacksonville
APR 27, 2013 9:06p ET
Soon after the conclusion of the draft, however, the Vanderbilt quarterback signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent.
"So proud to be a Jacksonville Jaguar," Jordan Rodgers tweeted. "Opportunity is all I can ask for. Excited to get back on the field."
Jacksonville currently has two quarterbacks on its roster, Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne. The first goal for the younger Rodgers will be to outperform undrafted quarterback Matt Scott (Arizona), whom the Jaguars also signed after the draft.
As a senior at Vanderbilt, Rodgers completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,539 yards, with 15 touchdown passes and five interceptions.

Re: GTX 260 for Physx / CUDA
Well, a GTX 260-216 is around $200 new, of course $100 is half the price.
I was using a 9600 GT for PhysX and I don't think it was worth it, I ended up pulling it out.
I guess it depends on how many PhysX games you really play with all of that turned on.
As much as I like the idea of it, I just don't think PhysX is really worth it right now. I certainly wouldn't only buy Nvidia because of it. When I had a 4870 I didn't miss it at all, the only thing I did miss were Nvidia's drivers, which are better, IMHO.
It also seems like you are into CUDA, if you are interested in CUDA programming and PhysX, I guess it might be worth it for you, but for games, I wouldn't bother.

The Fed Can Create Money, Not Confidence
Inflation—or stagflation—remains the more serious danger than deflation.
A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last week showed that consumers are having difficulty climbing out of the debt hole they dug for themselves before the credit bubble began to deflate in late 2007. The report gives support to the fears of those asset managers and economists who believe the U.S. is facing deflation.
Bill Gross, manager of the $239 billion Pimco bond fund, is one. His evidence is that the Consumer Price Index (CPI), annualized over the last two years, has fallen slightly.
Since deflation, in simple monetarist terms, means too little money chasing too many goods, with a consequent fall in prices, the remedy should be easy. Can't the Federal Reserve create as much money as it wants with just a few key strokes? Well, there are some things money can't buy. In political circumstances like today's, one of them is public confidence.
In fact, the Fed has been fighting deflation for nearly two years. It began pumping new money into the economy after the September 2008 stock market crash to restore liquidity in the financial system. It has kept the pumps running by maintaining a near-zero interest rate target. Its net purchases—with newly created dollars—of government and government-agency bonds have totaled some $1.4 trillion, expanding its balance sheet to $2.3 trillion. As the Fed pumped out new money, member bank reserves ballooned and now exceed $1 trillion. That means a vast amount of money is on deposit in Fed accounts, ready to be flooded into the economy if loan demand increases.
So what's the problem? Here it is best to depart from monetarist terminology, with its heavy emphasis on the magical powers of the central bank. Those magical powers are highly overrated, as almost anyone who has ever run a central bank will likely tell you. The Fed can flood the banks with liquidity in an effort to stimulate economic growth (if it is willing to run the very serious risk of inflation). But that will not necessarily stimulate a demand for this money.
What's missing in these times is a strong desire among businesses and consumers to take on new debt, low rates notwithstanding. Corporations can't even decide what to do with all the surpluses their businesses are generating; they are sitting on vast amounts of cash even though it is earning them minimal investment returns. Because business's "animal spirits" are suppressed by caution, private-sector hiring is weak, which means the unemployment rate is likely to remain high. As the New York Fed report shows, householders on balance are struggling to pay off the debts piled up during the 2003-2007 credit binge and are building up savings. Consumer spending is relatively flat.
The key word here is "uncertainty." The Obama administration and Congress have dumped a huge load of highly dubious new legislation on Americans, much of it unread even by the legislators who voted for it. ObamaCare is an attempted federal takeover of a vast and complex industry. No one really knows how much chaos the financial sector "reform" act will generate. Hyperactive zealots in federal bureaucracies such as the Environmental Protection Agency have been unleashed to do silly things like attempt to reduce the planet's supply of carbon dioxide.
A massively expensive federal "stimulus" program failed to stimulate for the easily predictable reason that the money the government spends on its political projects robs the rest of the economy of resources. Opinion polls show that the soaring federal deficit is of major concern to voters, as it should be.
State and local governments are, on the whole, in terrible financial shape, which means that they will likely be shedding employees and adding to the ranks of the unemployed. The only remedy the Democrats have for cutting the deficit is higher taxes, which in a weak economy likely would be counterproductive.
As a rotating member of the Federal Open Market Committee, Dallas Fed President Richard W. Fisher helps guide national monetary policy. He addressed the uncertainty issue in a recent speech to the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.
The prevailing sentiment among business leaders he surveys monthly, Mr. Fisher said, is that "the politicians and officials who craft and enforce the rules are doing so in a capricious manner that makes long-term planning difficult, if not impossible. They are increasingly distressed by the lack of consistent direction coming from Washington. . . . So they are calling time-outs and heading for the sidelines while they wait for the referees to settle the rules of the game."
He added that no amount of further monetary accommodation can offset the retarding effect of heightened uncertainty. Indeed, it would make matters even worse if the private sector concludes that the Fed has become "politically pliable and is prone to substitute such accommodation for fiscal discipline." Who would ever think that?
Getting back to Mr. Gross and his fears of deflation, it should be noted that he stacked the deck in referring to a two-year average, since that includes the brief period after the 2008 crash when the CPI fell. The index began climbing sharply at midyear 2009 and was showing nearly 3% inflation by the end of the year. A 0.3% rise in July still signals rising prices.
Since U.S. prices correlate inversely with the dollar's international purchasing power, and since the massive U.S. budget deficit puts downward pressure on the dollar in international markets, inflation surely remains a more serious danger than deflation.
But deflation and inflation predictions could both be right in a sense, if you aren't too fussy about strict definitions. In the late 1970s, the last time Americans suffered from manic interventionism from Washington, we had "stagflation," a combination of minimal economic growth and double-digit inflation. It wasn't pretty.
Stagflation was cured by a set of policies that reversed the Keynesian nostrums then in vogue and that are again the core basis for federal economic policy. In the early 1980s, the Fed tightened money, tax rates were cut, economic regulation was pared sharply and an effort was made to curb nondefense spending. It worked quite well, producing 25 years of economic growth. It will be much harder to repair today's damage, but the need to make another try is becoming urgent.

text: Is anyone excited to see Ratatouille? I can not wait for it, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of advertising going on for the movie. A few posters at Disneyland, but nothing really around town. I really hope the film does well, but I have a feeling it will under-perform Cars adding to the decling box-office sales that Disney and Pixar have been having. I am beginning to rally the troops. JUNE 29th PEOPLE! Maybe I am just worrying too much. But you never know because it will be in the middle of summer at June 29th and it will be a fresh, new, family movie that I am sure will have good reviews. Your opinions???

Dear Fellow UNCDAA Member,
As many of you have heard, the UNC Dental Alumni Association Board of Directors has been deliberating about the future of the UNCDAA's dues structure for the last few months, and I am writing now to update you on the status of these discussions. At its February 18, 2011 meeting and after receiving a great deal of feedback from School alums, the Board voted to eliminate the Association's dues component and to include all DDS alums in the UNCDAA.
The Board believes that eliminating the dues requirement will benefit the School in many ways. One, it will make the operations of the UNCDAA and the Dental Foundation of North Carolina a lot more fluid. In its current state, the UNCDAA and the DFNC work hand in hand within the Office of Advancement to connect alumni to the School and to raise funds for the School. With the elimination of the dues structure, the UNCDAA will retain an autonomous board that will continue to determine what types of events and communications are most helpful in connecting alumni and friends to the School, while the DFNC will continue to have its own board and the responsibility to raise funds - many of which are already used for the benefit of the alumni events and communications mentioned above. The difference is that the DFNC will now fund all UNCDAA activities, not just a portion of them, as it was in the past.
Second, it is the Board's hope that this effort will increase funding support of the School of Dentistry as alumni won't be splitting their support of the School through the UNCDAA dues payments and with their tax-deductible contributions to the DFNC or School.
The Board wishes to recognize lifetime membership commitments in a manner that they deserve. Members of the Board have formed an ad hoc committee to study suggestions on how to honor these memberships and will finalize the reward at the Board's August meeting. We will be in touch with our life members in the weeks following.
As mentioned above and in lieu of dues, I encourage you to make a fully tax-deductible gift to the School of Dentistry's annual fund - the School's and the UNCDAA's source of key expendable support. To make your gift, please contact Sarah Andrews, Executive Director of the UNCDAA, at (919) 537-3257 or firstname.lastname@example.com. She'll be happy to walk you through the process.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the UNCDAA and of the School of Dentistry. Please don't hesitate to contact me or Sarah with your thoughts, ideas, and questions.

Where is it from?
- A Manufacturer Melbourne, Australia
Shoes - Paragon, Brown Suede, late 1940s Reg. No: HT 11643
- Summary:
- Pair of brown suede shoes with ankle straps and gold studs around the sole. Exaggerated wedge heel. Made in the late 1940s to 1950s by Paragon.
Paragon Shoes Pty Ltd was one of the most significant 20th century Australian shoe retailers, and at one time was the largest manufacturer of high quality of women's shoes in Australia. Its factory was located in Melbourne, and its shoes were sold throughout Australia and New Zealand.
According to Caroline Cox in Vintage Shoes (2008, pp. 76-80), the wedge was invented as a practical response to sanction-led shortages in Italy during the Italo-Ethiopian war. Mussolini invaded Ethopia in 1935, and the League of Nations imposed sanctions against Italy. Florence-based shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo found it difficult to find adequate quality steel for making shoe arches. In 1936, in desperation, he invented a heel that was completely filled in, made of layers of Scandanavian cork. The wedge became popular during war-time, when women needed a high heel for glamour but a sturdy sole to walk in when transport shortages were common. It was also a cheap shoe to make, with inexpensive materials such as plaited raffia, dyed straw, grass and cellophane used.
- Description:
- Pair of shoes made from brown suede, with gold-studded 'elevator' soles. Exaggerated wedge heel. Shoe features a knotted front, an open toe and back, and is secured with cross-over straps around ankle, which is fastened with a buckle. Five rows of small gold studs on base of platform. Leather soles.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The Paragon Shoe Collection comprises over 90 objects, including pairs of shoes and single shoes, point-of-sale materials and promotional materials such as business cards and an umbrella bearing the company name. The Collection documents the business and products of Paragon Shoes Pty Ltd, one of the most significant 20th century Australian shoe retailers, and at one time the largest manufacturer of high quality of women?s shoes in Australia. Its factory was located in Melbourne, and its shoes were sold throughout Australia and New Zealand.
The collection was largely donated by a member of the Davison family, which ran the Paragon business for most of the 20th century. It documents the changing designs of Australian women's footwear, from the 1910s to the 1980s. It illustrates the development of new shoe styles, from sample shoes bought overseas to shoes that went into production and were worn by Australian women. The collection is complemented by an archive held at the State Library of Victoria, including company records, shoe design sketch books and further point-of-sale material.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mrs Diana Gaze, 2005
|15.0 cm (Height), 7.8 cm (Width), 20.7 cm (Length)

Used to be a very good place for dance and food, but it closed down and now opened again in a much smaller place, with very poor food, and poor fun. I give only one star for the singers who were good, and for the service, but the food for 12 euros per person was very poor compared to what it was a year ago, the fun starts after midnight and they asked us to be there before 10 so until midnight we were bored and disappointed, plus I got a food poisoning at the end of the night!!! Doesn't worth it anymore, I will never go there again!!

Cochise crushes all in its path
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought the Cochise a few weeks back. I am an expert skier that is 5'9", 170lbs. I bought these to replace a pair of Movement Trusts that I returned after skiing on them for a year. I was looking for something larger than my 177 Mantras, and with some rocker. This was my first time skiing reverse camber, but with Blizzard's Flipcore technology, these things are rock solid. I only had the chance to ski them in skied out/packped pow/groomed conditions at Squaw so far but they held up great. They are extremely versatile, easy to maneuver, and unwaivering at speed. I definitely wanted a pair of skis with Titanal in them, and the Cochise do not dissapoint. If you ski hard, and want to charge all over the mountain, then these skis are a damn solid bet. There is no substitute for metal in the ski. I'm not a big guy, nor am I in great shape, but I was able to crush it in the 185cm no worries. First pair of Blizzard's and I'm considering picking up a pair of Bushwacker's for those marginal days. Stoked!
how can you tell what flipcore is doing to the ski's performance? do you have any idea what flipcore is? I think it's Blizzard BS and they have pretty much stopped mentioning it much themselves. And when they spoke about it in the past, it was pure garbled vague non technical, non structural drivel. Don't drink so much of their cool aid.

Big-Hearted, Loving Man Seeking Same
I am a big-hearted, masculine guy with a lot of compassion. Living consciously, appreciating the magic that is all around us is my favorite place to be (not always there). I love people, growth, truth, vulnerability and wear my heart on my sleeve. I maintain a fit and healthy body, work out regularly and desire the same in my partner. A lean, fit body is very sexy indeed! I also like to dance, drink wine, watch and play sports, lay on the couch and cuddle... of course, who doesn't!? My ideal relationship is one in which my partner and I both reach and strive for growth, to extract as much juice out of our lives... to travel, love, to grow close, to show our underbellies, to connect on the physical, mental and emotional levels. Let's live in abundance, achieve all that we choose, give, love and help others to get there too! Bottom line.. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!!!!

Comparison of two laboratory-developed PCR methods for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Brazilian patients with and without HIV infection

BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2011, 11:15 doi:10.1186/1471-2466-11-15Published: 29 March 2011
Direct smear examination with Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is cheap and easy to use, but its low sensitivity is a major drawback, particularly in HIV seropositive patients. As such, new tools for laboratory diagnosis are urgently needed to improve the case detection rate, especially in regions with a high prevalence of TB and HIV.
To evaluate the performance of two in house PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): PCR dot-blot methodology (PCR dot-blot) and PCR agarose gel electrophoresis (PCR-AG) for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in HIV seropositive and HIV seronegative patients.
A prospective study was conducted (from May 2003 to May 2004) in a TB/HIV reference hospital. Sputum specimens from 277 PTB suspects were tested by Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) smear, Culture and in house PCR assays (PCR dot-blot and PCR-AG) and their performances evaluated. Positive cultures combined with the definition of clinical pulmonary TB were employed as the gold standard.
The overall prevalence of PTB was 46% (128/277); in HIV+, prevalence was 54.0% (40/74). The sensitivity and specificity of PCR dot-blot were 74% (CI 95%; 66.1%-81.2%) and 85% (CI 95%; 78.8%-90.3%); and of PCR-AG were 43% (CI 95%; 34.5%-51.6%) and 76% (CI 95%; 69.2%-82.8%), respectively. For HIV seropositive and HIV seronegative samples, sensitivities of PCR dot-blot (72% vs 75%; p = 0.46) and PCR-AG (42% vs 43%; p = 0.54) were similar. Among HIV seronegative patients and PTB suspects, ROC analysis presented the following values for the AFB smear (0.837), Culture (0.926), PCR dot-blot (0.801) and PCR-AG (0.599). In HIV seropositive patients, these area values were (0.713), (0.900), (0.789) and (0.595), respectively.
Results of this study demonstrate that the in house PCR dot blot may be an improvement for ruling out PTB diagnosis in PTB suspects assisted at hospitals with a high prevalence of TB/HIV.

MILTON-FREEWATER - Police raided an underage drinking party in the 100 block of Northeast 15th Street early Sunday morning, citing nearly more than a dozen teens for possession of alcohol and an adult for allegedly supplying it.
According to Milton-Freewater Police Chief Doug Boedigheimer, police received a complaint about loud music and cars racing just before midnight.
When officers arrived, they found roughly 40 people attending a house party.
"It was a rather large (minor-in-possession) party," Boedigheimer said. "It took (officers) a couple of hours to parse that out."
Police cited roughly 13 teens for minor in possession of alcohol, a violation that carries a $260 fine.
Monica C. Nunez, 20, was cited for investigation of furnishing alcohol to minors, a class A misdemeanor that carries a mandatory fine of $6,250.
