In the fall of 1955, he signed a pro contract with the Detroit Red Wings. That year he was used in three games, but he failed to make the scoresheet. The 1956-57 and 1957-58 seasons were spent in Edmonton with the Flyers of the WHL. Midway through that second year in Edmonton, Burton got the call to rejoin the Red Wings in the NHL. It turned out to be a 26-game stint, with Burton scoring one assist. The following year his time was split between the Seattle Totems of the WHL and the Red Wings. In 14 games with Detroit, he scored one assist.
The next three years of Burton's pro career were spent in Sudbury with the Wolves of the EPHL. He consistently provided steady offense, posting seasons of 58, 36 and 49-point seasons.
The majority of the 1962-63 campaign saw Burton back in Edmonton with the Flyers of the WHL. In the spring of 1963, he was moved to the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL where he dressed for three games. Burton also played a year with the EHL's Charlotte Checkers before leaving hockey for what was a three-year retirement. He returned to play one more year of pro hockey in 1967-68 with the EHL's Florida Rockets. In 52 games, he scored seven times and had 27 points before deciding to hang up the skates for good.
Hockey was something which certainly ran in Burton's family. His uncle was Larry Aurie, a star player with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1930s. Burton is perhaps best remembered for his passionate pleas along with other family members to have Aurie's jersey retired by the Red Wings, which as of now, has yet to happen. "Not hanging up Larry's number would be compared to the Yankees' not retiring Lou Gehrig's number, just because he was from the 1930s and now forgotten just because it's all old stuff now," Burton was once quoted. "It's like saying that war heroes don't mean anything, just because they're not around anymore."
Five Red Wings have had their jersey numbers retired; Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Sid Abel, Terry Sawchuk and Alex Delvecchio. Aurie's number six has not been worn since he retired in 1939, with the exception of Burton who wore it as a tribute to his uncle in 1957-58. Response by the Red Wings' organization has served only to confuse the matter further, with officials saying the number will not be retired, yet will never worn again by any other player.

Zero tolerance for democracy – Kudankulam, Omkareshwar, Aseem Trivedi
Which of these three images brings dishonour to India?
This one?
The full coercive force of the state slams down on villagers who have been so far peacefully protesting the location of a nuclear power plant in Kudankulam, Tamil Nadu.
Charges of sedition have been laid on hundreds of protesters in Kudankulam.
The women of Kudankulam wrote recently in a moving message to their fellow citizens:
When we carried the dead body of democracy and burnt it in the outskirts of our village on Aug 15th, 2012, little did we realize that so soon we would witness the real death of democracy. As this last nail is being tightened on our lives, we realize how insignificant has been our voice. But this has only strengthened our vow to be together.
(Read the latest update from Kudankulam below)
Or this one?
Villagers in Omkareshwar, defiantly standing for 17 days in the rising waters of the Omkareshwar dam, offering steadfast jal satyagragha, before the government (their "own" government) reluctantly agreed to reduce the waters of the dam and ensure rehabilitation. These citizens of India had to resolve to 'drown but not move' if they did not receive relief and land-based rehabilitation. Ensuring rehabilitation is an ethical, legal and constitutional requirement, a minimum demand from people being ousted from their lands and livelihood, a demand for which they had to put their very lives at stake.
The government insisted that filling of the dam "will put no threat to human lives."
(Read below the story of a previous such promise)
Or this one?
The cartoon by 24 year old Aseem Trivedi, in jail on charges of sedition for his drawing parodying the Ashoka lions as ravening wolves and the national motto of Satyameva Jayate (truth alone triumphs) as Bhrashtameva Jayate (The corrupt alone triumph).
In every part of the country today we see the blatant trampling of people's movements by the army and police on behalf of a brutal state elite – the "elected representatives" of the people in alliance with powerful and utterly corrupt corporate interests.
I must say, living in India today, Aseem's drawing seems to me to be a simply identifiable passport photograph of Indian democracy
1. Kudankulam – latest update
Given the large number of conflicting reports that have been making the rounds, a few of us — informed by reliable local sources — have attempted to reconstruct the events leading up to the current situation based on confirmed information. Information, where unconfirmed, is indicated.
Based on eye-witness reports by Amrithraj Stephen, interviews by Nityanand Jayaraman, Revathi and Amritharaj, and updates and articles published on internet.
Friends in the media have reported that all top police brass have gathered in Koodankulam to chalk out a strategy to wipe out the movement. According to the media sources, intelligence officials are reporting that two women police are missing and are untraceable. Villagers say that no policepersons have been taken hostage. It is feared that this rumour is being used to fuel public opinion against the protestors and to justify any repressive action by the police against villagers. In this context, to pre-empt any untoward incident, Mr. S.P. Udayakumar has announced that key leaders of the movement will surrender tonight at Koodankulam Police Station in the presence of prominent political leaders.
What happened on September 10, 2012
Responding to the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's clearance to commence nuclear fuel loading in the Koodankulam plant, the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy announced that protestors would lay siege to the plant on 9 September. Police force was deployed in huge numbers in the area. On that day, between 8000 and 10000 people, including children and women from Idinthakarai and neighbouring villages started from the Lourde Matha church in Idinthakarai. They walked down the coastal path avoiding the road route and were stopped by the police around 800 metres away from the plant. The protesters sat down on the sea shore and said they will continue their struggle from there. S.P.Udayakumar, co-ordinator of the struggle committee, announced that they want the Tamilnadu government to intervene and respond to the demands of the protesting masses. All the protesters stayed put on the sea shore braving the weather and other hardships.
On the morning of the 10th of september, the police came in with the strike force resorted to a tentative lathi charge around 10.30 am. After a scuffle that lasted a few minutes, police withdrew to a distance and uneasy calm prevailed. "The situation is back to normal," a protestor told us at 10.30, as if anything about the situation could be considered normal. The congregation of mostly baton-wielding police forces swelled in size. A large riot-gear bedecked police force was in the frontline facing the people, and tear gas lobbers were on stand-by.
After sometime two young men on a fibre boat tried to go towards KKNP. The protesters were against this and took permission from the police and went towards the young men and spoke them back to the place they were all sitting. As the two young men came back the police according to the Tirunelveli SP Vijendra Bidari's orders, nabbed them. This caused unrest amongst the protesters and they argued with the police, asking why they're arresting them after they have come back. Around this time at 11.30 Tirunelveli SP Vijendra Bidari announced the protesters to disperse in ten minutes failing which police will take action.
Women formed the first line of protestors and were closest to the plant, while the children and men strung out along the beach towards the Idinthakarai village. Just before the strike began, DIG Rajesh Das instructed the strike force to move towards the centre of the congregation and enter from the centre so as to divide the women and men.
As people all over Tamilnadu and elsewhere were watching this live on television, and even as the reporter was announcing that the ten minute countdown has started we could see tear gas shells being lobbed at the protesters. According to protester who was at the site, "A small commotion over policemen pushing two volunteer youth started and a few women shouted at the police men and a crowd gathered around them. Police men ran towards there and started lathi charge. Even before we could realise, tear gas shells were lobbed at us."
As we could see from the live telecast, many teargas shells were lobbed and police went into the crowd in force and resorted to heavy lathicharging. Caught between a tide of armed police and the ocean, women and children tried to throw handsful of sand at the policemen to escape lathi blows; children were caught in the melee. A large number of men jumped into the sea, even as members of the Rapid Action Force were caught on television pelting stones, sticks and slippers at those at sea. The police were threatening those wading in the sea with death and bodily harm upon their return to the beach. At one point, the source of this information heard a policeman pointing out to a youth holding a mobile phone and shouting that he was holding a bomb. The source intervened to point out that it was a mobile phone.
Sahaya Initha, a prominent leader of the movement and a ward councillor, was targetted by the police and badly injured.
In a television interview, S.P. Udayakumar, who had by then moved to safety, said that he had been shot at. This incident was confirmed by other by-standers who said that shots were fired at the fibre boat in which Udayakumar was attempting to leave the site.
Media People Injured
Several media persons were injured, and at least one cameraman from Times Now was intentionally targetted. With most of the action centred around the seashore, a separate posse of policemen went about systematically breaking the vehicles used by protestors to come to the protest site. Only one cameraman, from Times Now, was present videographing the actions. The police attacked him causing serious injuries. He required at least four stitches above his eyebrow. His camera was destroyed and thrown into the sea, and the videotape reportedly removed.
Unconfirmed reports state that the motorcycles belonging to three media persons were also damaged in the police action.
A Dinakaran reporter was roughed up, and the Makkal TV reporter was pushed into the thorns.
Police Vandalism
Following in the heels of the departing people, the police also systematically destroyed the expensive outboard engines on the boats parked on the beach. One constable was working to set fire to the pandal, but stopped when he saw a photographer (the source of this information) poised to capture his act on camera. The photographer then alerted the Puthiya Thalaimurai reporter Mr. Ramanujam. The constable tried one more time before giving up, and angrily told the photographer that the latter was disrupting his work. The pandal on the seashore was pulled down. The lights and speakers were broken. Sand was thrown in the food that was prepared for lunch by the protestors.
Entering Idinthakarai
During the course of the melee at the seaside, a separate force of about 400 police persons entered the Idinthakarai village. The media was busy covering the riot-like situation on the coast and did not accompany the police force that went to Idinthakarai village. The police went door-to-door searching for men. When they reached the seaside, they saw about 150 to 200 youth gathered there. The youth dived into the sea to take refuge, while the police opened fire and taunted them from the shore threatening them with dire consequences when they return to shore.
Church Desecrated
It was during this time that the police desecrated the Lourdu Matha shrine. Idols were broken. Policemen spat and urinated inside the church. The pandal (tent) erected to provide shelter to the protestors was pulled down, and the lights vandalized. The water cans were broken. The Tamil Nadu Water and Drainage Board's public water supply point in Koodankulam village too was reportedly broken.
Women who were watching the goings-on from hidden vantage points also reported that unknown men in white dhotis and shirts were seen stoning police vehicles with the police photographing the same.
News reports stated that the Panchayat office and the local TASMAC (Government-owned wine shop) in Koodankulam were set on fire by the villagers. However, the villagers in Koodankulam insist that no such incident happened. They admit that the awning (asbestos shelter) protruding from the wine shop was damaged. But neither the Panchayat office nor the TASMAC shop were set on fire or damaged.
Later in the evening around sixty five people were arrested from the Koodankulam village. Between 2.00 pm and 3.00 pm the police carried out a house to house search.
Last evening, the police entered the Tsunami Colony in Idinthakarai and conducted a door-to-door search. They also reported damaged a few of the houses.
Current Situation
An uneasy calm prevails. Essential supplies to Idinthakarai village have been blocked. All of yesterday, there was no water, especially since the water reserve was emptied by the police forces. As of 9.30 a.m. on 11 September, no supplies have been allowed to reach the village from beyond Thomas Mandapam, the location of the police barricade. One tractor-load of water was brought in at around 9.30 a.m. from a local source.
At the end of 10.09.2012, we got news that electricity connection to 5 villages has been cut off. Reports say that phone lines many of the villagers are being tapped in order to locate UdayaKumar and the struggle commitee leaders.
Within hours of the police crackdown, protests across the fishing villages across Southern Tamilnadu spread like wildfire. One fisherman, Anthony Samy (40 years) was shot dead in Manappad village, Thoothukudi district. More than 10,000 protestors staged a rail roko at Thoothukudi station delaying the Mysore Express by more than 2 hours.
2. Here's the story of a previous promise that no harm would come to anyone through big dams:
On January 8 2002, The Indian Express published a news story titled 'Experts Rule Out Submergence, MP Town Relieved.'
Based entirely on an interview with one person, the Managing Director of National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC), the story claimed that 'the experts of NHPC' could ensure that the people of Harsud in Madhya Pradesh and one hundred other villages would not 'meet the fate of the two hundred other villages' which would be totally submerged once the Indira Sagar Reservoir (the largest dam on the Narmada river) came up. The Managing Director told the newspaper that a detailed survey had been conducted, on the basis of which it was clear that by building a guide bund around the town, it could be saved. In addition Harsud would have 24-hour drinking water as well as metalled roads linking it to nearby towns and to the railway station, thus giving 'a boost to Harsud's business and economic activities.'
Two and a half years later, in June 2004, as the waters of the Indira Sagar dam started rising inexorably, armed police and bulldozers arrived in Harsud to forcibly evict the residents from their homes. The seven-hundred year old town was reduced to rubble. The oustees were made to move to New Harsud, a stony inhospitable site with a few tin sheds for shelter, and with no water supply, not even for drinking, let alone for construction, no toilets, no avenues for employment, and absolutely no way of reconstructing their lives.
Three months later, a rally of thousands of desperate oustees reached the office of the Narmada Hydroelectric Development Corporation (NHDC), a profit-making corporate body, in a joint venture with the NHPC and the state government.
Guess who the Chairman of the NHDC was? (Of course, he had fled his office when the rally arrived). The very same Managing Director of NHPC who had predicted a glorious future for Harsud in The Indian Express.
When Parliament and our elected representatives demonstrate zero tolerance for the views and the very lives of the people they claim to represent, we need to ask our "national conscience" – if there is one – who is India?

There seems to be no limit to the meanness to which our rulers can degrade themselves. All in the name of an unwanted nuclear plant , and in a 'democratic' country !

Madoff Customers to Receive More Than $350 Million in Fourth Payout
Bernard Madoff's cheated customers will receive $351.6 million soon, the fourth payout in the winddown of the Ponzi-scheme operator's investment firm.
Irving Picard, the court-appointed trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, on Monday began sending out checks to Mr. Madoff's former customers, bringing the total amount of money returned to customers to nearly $6 billion.
"Today's distribution is another important step forward for our recovery efforts," Mr. Picard said in a statement. "We are already looking ahead to additional, significant recoveries and distributions later this year."
The distribution will cover claims tied to 1,081 customer accounts. Following this and the three prior payouts, the claims of the holders of 1,129 of 2,190 total customer accounts will be paid in full.

"Nocturne (White Poppies)" (2002)
"Nocturne (White Poppies)," 2002
Live video installation, night vision camera, LCD projector, live audio, Night Vision with wild opium poppies and live audio, dimensions variable.
Installation view: Museo Tamayo de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City.
Courtesy the artist and Meulensteen, New York.
"'Nocturne (White Poppies )' was a response to the bombing of Afghanistan and the flower as a source of violence at that particular moment. I was interested in investigating the fact that that flower was not a natural creation. It was a cultural and an historical creation. I used the technology that's usually aimed at what's ugly- which is war- to aim it at this flower, which contains both the beautiful and the ugly at the same time- a heroin poppy. I'm also addressing the media, because now the news of war is actually an object of consumerism. It's no longer just news edification. And so I'm repackaging the image."

Asset custodians are the central players in the RIA business and choosing one is the biggest decision most financial advisors will make to build their business. As the place where RIAs park their assets (the same way a captive broker would park assets at Merrill Lynch or UBS), custodians serve hundreds or thousands of these registered investment advisors and make big investments in technology and service on their clients' behalf.
This section features a series of articles under the "Asset Custody Project" label that cover these companies in a way that keeps advisors abreast of their progress – both with journalistic commentary and a common set of data so that advisors can easily compare them. The articles look at the strengths, weaknesses and niche capabilities of these companies.

Texas A&M Aggies Gear

Texas A&M Aggies
The Texas A&M Aggies aren't intimidated by anyone. Their fellow SEC foes are aware of this, and in recent years, the NFL's Seattle Seahawks have learned it too. As the pro club began to emerge as a power, their fans were celebrated for demonstrating an unwavering devotion. The nickname "12th Man" was brought up time and time again by announcers. The only problem was that the moniker originated in College Station, and the university had been using it since 1922. So, A&M did what any proud institution would: they called the Seahawks out. They were right in doing so, because the Aggies have a history of their very own, and they shouldn't have to share their traditions.
In addition to staking claim on the name first, the Aggies' 12th Man fanbase dwarfs the one in Seattle. Kyle Field holds more than 80,000 spectators, and in 2015, even more seats were added so that 102,000 A&M supporters could fit inside. Not only that, but their origin story is way cooler. E. King Gill became the first 12th Man when he leapt from the stands and suited up for a shorthanded Aggies team in 1922. The eleven players on the field held tough and won the game, but the idea that a member of the A&M family would immediately answer the call to assist his school left a lasting impression.
After beginning competitive play in 1905, the school's football team captured national championships in 1919, 1927 and 1939; they also have 17 titles from the old Southwest Conference and more than 30 bowl appearances to establish their status as bona fide contenders. Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant guided the program for just three seasons, but it was while in College Station that he worked with his only Heisman Trophy winner, 1957's John David Crow. More than 50 years later, another Aggie would emerge as the game's top player.
Quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first freshman in NCAA history to snare the Heisman when he took the award in 2012. Known as "Johnny Football" to fans across the country, Manziel racked up 4,600 yards of total offense and accounted for 43 touchdowns. Most essentially, he also led A&M to a BCS Bowl appearance against the vaunted Oklahoma Sooners.
The night before every football game, students gather at Kyle Field to participate in the Midnight Yell. The school's designated Yell Leaders fire up the crowd and wax poetic about the victory that is sure to come the following day. When A&M fans aren't howling at the moon, they are giving one another a thumbs-up sign. In College Station, the gesture is shorthand for "Gig 'Em, Aggies," a rallying cry that started in 1930 before a contest against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.
The Aggies have labored for years to get where they are, and have proven again and again that they won't be giving up anytime soon.

Thanksgiving Blessings
Posted By Bevin Wallace On November 16, 2012 @ 3:12 pm In Health & Wellness, Healthy Eating, Personal Growth | 2 Comments
"This food comes from the earth and the sky. It is a gift of the entire universe and the fruit of much hard work; I vow to live a life which is worthy to receive it." — Grace of the Bodhisattva Buddhists
At the beginning of every yoga class [2], while we're sitting in sukhasana, my yoga teacher always says to "give silent gratitude [3] for all the blessings in our lives." And, even though I am mentally not quite "there" yet — I'm still trying to find my "sit bones" and thinking about my grocery list and how I forgot my daughter's gym shoes [4] and did I shut the garage door? — usually, I do it. Images of my kids' faces and my cozy brick house flash through my mind, and if I take time to really think about it (and not about the location of my cute new flats that I hope the dog isn't eating right now), I realize I have so much to be grateful for [5]: my close, loving family, my friends, my health, my readers, my Dutch oven, fire-roasted Hatch green chilies, pasture butter and the fact that I am rarely hungry.
These days I've been trying to do that — give thanks — more often. I even went and bought a gorgeous blank book and started keeping a "gratitude journal [6]," which I know sounds a little Starhawk-ish, but going back and reading it really makes me happy [7]. Not only does it serve as a very clear reminder that I should never ever gripe, but it makes me smile remembering things like: Today I am grateful for David coming home safe from Alaska with 75 lbs. of wild salmon … for Sean scoring a touchdown … for Tammy bringing me fresh eggs from her barn … for my cool new orange Mario Batali Crocs … for Lauren having a play date after school … for banana jam … I know this may be gag-inducing stuff for a lot of you, but what can I say, except, sorry about that!
Authentic Gratitude at Thanksgiving
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving [8]. I think the fact that we celebrate this doggedly un-materialistic holiday — that people endure often excruciatingly unpleasant hours or days of travel [9] just to spend some time cooking, eating and relaxing (okay and watching football) with their families and friends — is one of the things that makes me proudest to be an American. I know for some of us it's the family gatherings that are excruciating [10], but there's something oddly reassuring about that, too. And deep down I think we are all happy to be sharing this blatantly American holiday, no matter how wacky or dysfunctional it might seem. Seriously, what could be better than a day devoted to doing two of the most joy-inducing activities there are — eating and saying thanks [11] — with the people you love?
The entire idea of "Thanks-giving" is just that. Whether you're religious or not, I think saying a blessing is a nice way to force us all to take a deep breath, take our paws off the crescent rolls and sanctify the event. Even if the event in question is a meal consisting of green jell-o with mandarin oranges, can-shaped Ocean Spray cranberry sauce [12] and Stove Top stuffing, it still signifies that we are a country of free people who can and deserve to be happy, (perhaps overly) well-fed, and, yes, grateful.
So, just in case you're drawing a blank, here are a few nice blessings. These work for any meal.
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.— Ralph Waldo Emerson
This night I hold an old accustom'd feast,
Whereto I have invited many a guest such as I love;
And you among them the store, one more,
Most welcome make make number more.— William Shakespeare
What we say at most family dinners, including Thanksgiving, is some version of this (from The Book of Common Prayer):
Give us grateful hearts, O Father,
for all thy mercies, and
make us mindful of the needs of others;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Bone beds are an important source of paleobiological and paleoenvironmental information. However, conclusions drawn from such deposits may be biased by sedimentary processes involved in bone bed formation. Various taphonomic methods have been developed to correct such process-induced biases including measurements of bone sorting, orientation, surface features, and examination of associated sedimentary structures. Recently, Trueman (1999) has suggested that analysis of rare earth elements (REE) in fossil bones may be used to independently assess temporal and spatial averaging associated with modes of bone bed formation.
The Crystal Geyser Dinosaur Quarry (CGDQ), located in lower Cretaceous units southeast of Green River, Utah, is a nearly monospecific bone-bed containing a high density of bones from numerous individuals of a new species of basal Therizinosauroid theropod dinosaur. This unusual group of theropoda is known mostly from Asia (Clark et al., 2004). The only other confirmed occurrence of a therizinosaur in North America is Nothronychus mckinleyi from a site in the Late Cretaceous (Turonian) of New Mexico (Kirkland and Wolfe, 2001). In our study of the Crystal Geyer Dinosaur Quarry, classical methods of sedimentology and taphonomy are coupled with REE analyses of the therizinosaur fossils to constrain the depositional environment and processes by which this fossil assemblage was formed.
Figure Captions
The CGDQ is located at the base of the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation (Figure 1). The Yellow Cat Member is separated from the underlying Jurassic Morrison Formation by an unconformity of approximately 15-25 Ma. Bone-bearing strata include a basal carbonate or pisolitic horizon and an overlying silty to sandy mudstone unit. The carbonate is micritic with clay clasts, pebbles, calcitic feather dendrites, fan-shaped radial calcite, tufa intraclasts, and pisolites (Figure 2a). The mudstone contains silt and sand, pebbles, tufa intraclasts (Figure 3), carbonate nodules, and pisolites. Bones within the mudstone are typically encrusted with micritic carbonate. Approximately 50 cm above the contact is a discontinuous carbonate horizon. Above this horizon, bones tend to be encrusted with thicker carbonate (Figure 1), and carbonate nodules are more abundant. In thin section pisolites are spherulitic (radial needle-like crystals displaying pseudo-uniaxial extinction) (Figure 4a). At the top of the main bone-bearing units (about 80 cm above the Morrison Formation) is a weakly developed (entisol) soil profile (dominated by relict bedding) that is marked by truncated vertical bones and root traces. Above this are interbedded green silty to sandy mudstones and carbonate horizons. The top of the quarry site is marked by a dense limestone caprock of variable thickness consisting of pure micrite to a sandy/peloidal wackestone.
More than 95% of identifiable bones are from a basal therizinosauroid (Kirkland, 2004), with only a few bones from other taxa, including a large ankylosaur, a crocodilian tooth, and a possible chelonian claw. All age groups are represented at the CGDQ, from hatchlings to adults. Bones were deposited in three units (Figure 1) which show an overall fining upward sequence of bone size. Bones from Units 1 and 2 are primarily Voorhies (1969) Group 2 (bones are transported as traction load). Bones in Unit 3 are primarily Voorhies Group 1 (transportation by saltation and floatation) represented by small bones such as small caudals and phalanges. Bones from Units 1 and 2 are generally horizontal; Unit 1 bones from the southwest portion of the quarry have very strong east-west orientation while those in other parts of the quarry have a north-south orientation. This variable orientation is likely the result of braided or radial flow. Bones from Unit 2 are highly fractured, commonly with both articular ends missing. The highest degree of fracturing is in the bones directly on top of the basal carbonate within Unit 2 (Figure 5a). Bones in Unit 3 are generally un-oriented with the exception of a few vertical limb bones truncated by an erosion surface.
Several bones showed unusual puncture marks, especially at the articular ends, which suggest predation or scavenging. Scratch marks were noted on several long bones, possibly due to trampling or transport as traction load. Some bones show weathering, mostly Behrensmeyer (1978) stage 0-1, indicating surface exposure for no more than a few years. An unusual weathering pattern noted by Behrensmeyer (1978) as "mosaic cracking or flaking" was noted on vertebra and two brain cases (Figure 5b). The significance of this particular bone alteration is unknown, but is likely the result of exposure. Abrasion is also noted on the ends of several long bones as well as several rounded bone pebbles near the top of the quarry deposit in Unit 3, and significant abrasion on the top surface of the vertical bones.
Rare Earth Element Geochemistry
REE are incorporated into bone, probably within a few thousand years post-mortem, as the biogenic apatite recrystallizes during fossilization (Trueman, 1999; Patrick et al., 2004). The REE signature in fossils record the REE composition of surface water or groundwater at the time of fossilization (Patrick et al., 2004, Martin et al., 2005) and may be used, in some instances, as paleoenvironmental or redox proxies (Patrick et al., 2004; Metzger et al., 2004; Martin et al., 2005). Trueman (1999) has suggested that variation of REE signatures in fossil bone may be used to identify the degree of time or spatial averaging in a fossil assemblage. In general, REE in bones that were fossilized in-situ, without reworking, should share a common REE signature. If fossils are pre-fossilized in different areas or environments and then mixed (reworked) by re-deposition, they may have varied REE signatures, whose degree of variation reflects the extent of averaging. Signatures of REE in bones from all three units are significantly different from each other (Figures 1 and 6). REE signatures in bones from Units 1 and 2 are variable whereas those from Unit 3 are uniform. The signature data can be plotted on a ternary diagram to show proportions of representative light (Nd), middle (Gd), and heavy (Yb) REE from the three units (Figure 6) (Patrick et al., 2004). Over time (stratigraphically) the signatures become progressively light REE (LREE) enriched. Signatures from the three units do not greatly overlap, indicating three fossilization events, and little time averaging of fossils between the three units. Within Units 1 and 2, data show a trend toward heavy REE enrichment (HREE) (Figure 6). REE in groundwaters may evolve from LREE to HREEenriched along a flowpath (Dia et al., 2000). This trend may be due to adsorption and preferential removal of LREE onto colloids, or to groundwater mixing (Dia et al., 2000; Johanessen et al., 2003). The proximity (within one meter) of such chemically distinct fossils in units 1 and 2 is consistent with spatial averaging (reworking of pre-fossilized bones from different localities formed along a common hydrologic flow path).
The taphonomic history of the Crystal Geyser Dinosaur Quarry is very complex. Based on similarities with calcite morphologies in modern spring deposits (Figures 2b and 4b) and possibly the positive cerium anomalies, the CGDQ was deposited in or near a spring. The basal carbonate and lateral pisolitic horizon were probably deposited first in a spring-fed pool. Input of siliciclastic sediments occurred after the basal carbonate, indicating at least two periods of deposition and bone incorporation. The near monospecific nature of the bone bed itself would normally suggest that one mass mortality event took place. However, the fossils contain three distinct geochemical signatures that differ stratigraphically. These are probably the result of three distinct fossilization events, perhaps separated by thousands of years (Trueman, 1999; Martin et al., 2005). This conclusion could not be made without the results of the geochemical analysis. A discontinuous carbonate horizon about 50 cm above the contact (Figure 1) may represent the base of the third depositional event recorded by the geochemistry of the bones. The geochemical data are consistent with the physical taphonomic data indicating that prefossilized bones have been reworked (spatially averaged) into Units 1 and 2, whereas bones in Unit 3, which are dominated by Voorhies Group 1 (bones rapidly transported) were fossilized after initial fluvial transport and sorting of the un-fossilized bones. It is still unclear how these animals died in such a great abundance at several different times, but it may be related to spring hydrology, poisoning, disease, and/or therizinosaur behavior.

7 displaced in Westwood convenience store fire
A woman told firefighters she broke her leg after jumping from a window to escape a two-alarm fire in Westwood.
Cincinnati District Fire Chief Marc Monahan said crews went to 2200 Harrison Street Saturday after receiving a report of people trapped inside a store on fire. Firefighters said the three-story brick building had a convenience store on the first floor and occupied apartments on the second and third floors.
Monahan said everyone made it out safely except the woman who jumped out a window. She was transported to the hospital, treated and released.
Monahan said firefighters had a difficult time getting to the fire because of barred windows and doors. Crews took 30 minutes to get the fire under control after gaining entry. They stayed at the scene for three hours to check for hot spots.
The fire displaced four adults and three children. The American Red Cross was assisting them with a place to stay.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

With his first century of the Ranji Trophy 2013-14 season Suryakumar Yadav salvaged the Mumbai innings along with Vinit Indulkar, who missed out on a well-deserved ton in his comeback game for the hosts. Their efforts helped Mumbai to 306 for seven at the end of the first day's play against Maharashtra. Iqbal Abdullah (9*) was batting with Zaheer Khan (5*) when play ended on Wednesday evening at the Wankhede Stadium.
Earlier, put in to bat in conditions favourable for bowling, Mumbai scored 92 runs in the morning session at the cost of three wickets. Wasim Jaffer opened the batting with Kaustubh Pawar, and the pair worked their way to 35, until the latter was dismissed.
Pawar nicked Samad Fallah to Rohit Motwani in the 10th over to depart for 19. Aditya Tare, who replaced him in the middle, was kept on his toes, especially by Anupam Sanklecha, who sent him back after he had occupied the crease for 42 balls. While on three, the batsman flicked Sanklecha towards mid-wicket and was caught by Fallah after being beaten earlier in the over. Mumbai were on 55 for two at that point.
The visiting bowlers kept the flow of runs in check. Part-time pacer Harshad Khadiwale bowled three maidens in a four-over first spell as skipper Motwani persisted with the fast bowlers.
Meanwhile, Vinit Indulkar, returning to the Mumbai side after six years, bided his time at the crease. He impressed with classy drives and held up one end.
The Jaffer-Indulkar pair chipped away at bowling, but the blossoming partnership was worth 37 when the opener returned to the dressing room for 44 in the last over of the session. After hitting Shirkant Mundhe for a four straight down the ground, he pulled at the ball and was caught at mid-on by Ankit Bawane. Two of his eight boundaries were straight drives off Mundhe.
Abhishek Nayar then came out to bat with Indulkar after lunch with the team on 92 for three. But after adding just five runs to the total, he edged Fallah to Kedar Jadhav at first slip. Suryakumar Yadav then joined Indulkar in the middle and the pair garnered runs and stabilised the Mumbai innings. Coming in at No.6, the stylish batsman plucked runs off the Maharashtra attack with some great strokes. Indulkar, at the other end, played a supporting role.
Motwani introduced spin in the form of Akshay Darekar in the 48th over. But Darekar bowled only two overs as the Mumbai batsmen collected 10 runs off him and the partnership crossed 50.
Khadiwale was then reintroduced into the attack, but was plundered by Yadav, who sent him racing to the boundary couple of times.
Breathing new life into the innings, he raced to his 50 off 62 balls with seven boundaries. Motwani missed a stumping off Darekar after Yadav reached his half-century, and the duo continued to build the innings and took the team past 150. Wresting the advantage from Maharashtra, the pair took the hosts to 176 for four tea.
Soon after the last session commenced, Indulkar brought up a carefully-compiled 50. The partnership also reached the three-figure mark. While Indulkar was 63, he was granted a life by the 'keeper and the first slip as the batsman chipped at a Chirag Khurana delivery.
Continuing to milk the bowlers, Yadav brought up his first century of the season with a boundary off Mundhe, in just 115 balls. The partnership had reached 183 when Indulkar edged Sanklecha to Motwani to depart for 82.
With the team comfortably placed on 284, Abdullah came to the middle late in the last session. But Maharashtra then struck with the new ball. Sanklecha had Suryakumar Yadav caught at second slip by Khurana for 120 to give the visitors a crucial breakthrough. And Fallah accounted for the wicket of Shardul Thakur after the team reached the 300-run mark, bringing in Zaheer to the middle.
Abdullah and Zaheer then took Mumbai to stumps on the first day.
Report: QF - Mum vs Mah, Day 1
Centurion Suryakumar puts hosts in commanding position
With his first century of the Ranji Trophy 2013-14 season Suryakumar Yadav salvaged the Mumbai innings along with Vinit Indulkar, who missed out on a well-deserved ton in his comeback game for the hosts. Their efforts helped Mumbai to 306 for seven at the end of the first day's play against Maharashtra. Iqbal Abdullah (9*) was batting with Zaheer Khan (5*) when play ended on Wednesday evening at the Wankhede Stadium.
Win against Gujarat boosted team: Zaheer
Indulkar likely to suit up for Mumbai, Zol for Maharashtra
A determined performance against Gujarat in the last match of the league phase has helped Mumbai qualify for the quarter-finals of the Ranji Trophy 2013-14. Once again under the leadership of Zaheer Khan, they will take on Maharashtra at the Wankhede Stadium in five-day game beginning January 8. The ace pacer had led the team to three outright wins before heading to South Africa and is now back at the helm for the defending champions.
The team had struggled in a few games in between. However, Mumbai pulled off an improbable victory in their last group encounter versus Gujarat to claim a berth in the knock-out stage. "The team looks good. We have had few days of practice. We are looking forward to the game. The last win has definitely helped in boosting the confidence of the team," Zaheer told the media.
"Guys have performed at the right time. The last game was very crucial for us; we had to win that game. And especially when you know that Gujarat needed only one point (to qualify), and we managed to qualify, it is a big achievement on the team's part. I always look at the positives. Now it is the knock-out stage, so every game counts," Zaheer said. "Sometimes when you have matches like these and you are not supposed to qualify but you do, then you know that the morale is especially high."
The hosts have lost key players through the season for various reasons like injuries, retirement and national call-up. Reflecting on the predicament that the team finds itself in, Zaheer said, "It can happen when a team is going through a transition phase. Especially Ajit (Agarkar) was instrumental in keeping everyone on track and keeping everyone together and helping the youngsters when it comes to bowling. And right now we have few youngsters playing and we have been trying new bowlers as well to see who can be useful in coming years for Mumbai cricket."
"And the same goes with the batting as well. So that is why I think you will see that there are many guys who have played this season. It is a transition that the team is going through."
The Mumbai batting line-up has faced ups and downs through the season. And Hiken Shah's absence due to injury will add to their woes. But they are looking to cope with it and hopeful that Vineet Indulkar's return will make a difference. Speaking about the situation, Zaheer said, "That is one thing that we had concerns about. Right now if you see, few of the batters, who have been playing regularly, are injured. It is an opportunity for others, especially for someone like Vineet, who has been around for a while and has been playing club cricket now. Having played at the Ranji Trophy level should help him deal with the kind of pressure, which we will be dealing with in a stage like this. But yes, we will miss the services of Hiken; he has played some good knocks for the team to get here. Along with a few others, Hiken will also be missed."
The stand-in captain also mentioned that he is especially impressed with Shardul Thakur's performance. "I am particularly impressed with Shardul Thakur; he has got the pace, which is required at a higher level as well. So that is very promising. He is someone who we should invest in for the future and hopefully we will get some good performances out of him. Shardul being able to bat is an added responsibility on him as well. And he is a good all-round prospect, I think."
Speaking about the opposition, Maharashtra, who topped their group to qualify, Zaheer said, "Every team who has qualified for the knock-outs has done well. We are just focusing on our strength. We are happy to be in the knock-out stage and we are just taking it one game at a time."
Meanwhile, Maharashtra captain Rohit Motwani said, "It is a very crucial game. There is not much to be done about talking about the game and making it an issue. We have to go through the same processes that we have been doing all through the season. Let's see what happens on the fifth day."
The top two run-getters of the season are from Motwani's team and most of the side has also been performing well. They will be further strengthened by the inclusion of Vijay Zol.
"It's a great thing for us and these players too. This is a stage where we have to perform and we need to relish these opportunities," he said about Harshad Khadiwale and Kedar Jadhav.
"Being in great form is something we need. Everyone is doing well. Team morale is very high," he added.
Speaking about the team's campaign so far, he said, "It's been doing really well over the season. We have won three at home and one away. Winning three at home outright was not easy, considering Gahunje is a batting wicket. But the bowlers have done really well getting the 20 wickets and worked hard and they are in very good shape and hopefully they will do well in this game too."
Talking about the opposition, he mentioned, "We haven't looked at the scores Mumbai has produced. We have been doing well in every department. Each and every bowler has contributed with wickets. We just have to target and get the small things right, whether it's the four-five wickets in the beginning or the runs on the board."

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Dealers principal Mike and Franscene Davis are expanding their network of Ohio Harley-Davidson stores with the acquisition of a Cleveland store, renamed Rock-N-Roll City Harley-Davidson.
Mike Davis said the dealership officially transferred March 4, and the new name was in place March 5.
"'We're going to deliver the Harley soul to the city of rock and roll' is what we're telling everyone," Davis told Crain's Cleveland.
He's looking for a new location to expand the store. He wants to build a state-of-the-art store with space for a service area, an large showroom and retail area for parts and gear.
The Davises bought their first Harley-Davidson dealership in 2003. They also own stores Adventure H-D in Dover, Top 100 dealer Mad River H-D in Sandusky and Rubber City H-D in Akron.

Kevin Jonas' wife planning to start family
But currently their plan seems to be on hold, as she admitted that the couple want to be more settled before making that decision. "We've been thinking about having a baby, but I think it's going to happen when everything is more settled," US Weekly Entertainment Magazine quoted the 23-year-old former hairdresser as saying. Her husband added, "Nothing yet! But it's not like we wouldn't want to in the future."
Danielle Deleasa had earlier said that she couldn't wait to have a baby and that her hubby was eager too. The couple married in 2009.

By A.J. Bosker (598th Transportation Brigade)February 28, 2014
SEMBACH, Germany -- The 598th Transportation Brigade safety manager recently conducted a series of site visits to the northern European ports of Bremerhaven and Nordenham, Germany; Eemshaven, Netherlands; and Varberg, Sweden.
The ports, part of the 950th Transportation Company's area of responsibility, were the focus of Wolfgang Rieth's efforts to analyze each port's infrastructure, capabilities and suitability for various military cargo operations and missions. Accompanying Rieth on the survey was Nils Pfuhl, safety manager for the 950th Trans. Co.
Rieth and Pfuhl met with the representatives from each port to discuss their operations, procedures and strategies to mitigate the risks not only to successfully accomplishing the mission, but also to the workers and the surrounding communities.
Every port has similar risks posed by the loading and offloading of cargo and the operation of heavy machinery. However, Rieth was more concerned with the unique hazards associated with the individual ports and their surroundings.
"By understanding each port's unique infrastructure and environment, we can make informed decisions on how to safely accomplish our various cargo missions," he said.
In addition to the port survey, Rieth also conducted Job Hazard Analysis and Documentation training for members of the 950th Trans. Co.
The training focused on taking a systemic common sense approach to safety and occupational health, rather than relying on slogans such as "safety first."
"Just telling people to put 'safety first' will not make people any more safe," Rieth said during the training. "Rather, you need to adjust your thinking processes to make safety and occupational health an integral part of your daily routine.
"It's a simple but structured process that requires us to identify, analyze and take steps to mitigate the hazards present in the work environment which may pose a risk to people, operations and the public," he said.
