Graham Supports Kagan for Supreme Court
Lindsay Graham announced his support for Elena Kagan to become the nation's 4th female Supreme Court Justice today, in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on her nomination. Kagan will clear the Judiciary Committee later today.
In his remarks announcing his support, Graham said that "There's plenty of reasons for a conservative to vote no, but there are plenty of reasons for a conservative to vote yes," and while he didn't agree with Kagan's judicial philosophy, he felt duty-bound to support the nomination because of Presidential prerogative. He said that while he would have made a different choice for the Court, he will honor the 2008 election by supporting a qualified nominee.
That's a curious statement for Graham to make, since he has participated in virtually every filibuster of Obama nominees for executive branch positions, or has at least not spoken out about obstruction of those positions. He voted to filibuster David Hamilton, Obama's first judicial nominee for the 7th Circuit. He voted to filibuster Kathleen Sebelius. He has no compunction against using the filibuster on Obama nominees. But this pose makes him look wise and responsible to his Beltway admirers. They'll remember him saying that "the last election had consequences" but not that he tried to nullify those consequences over and over again.
Kagan's nomination will pass out of the Judiciary Committee today. Democratic leaders, and the White House, would like to see the nomination confirmed before the August recess.
UPDATE: The nomination passed, 13-6.
UPDATE II: After the vote, both Harry Reid and Barack Obama looked forward to a full Senate vote "before the August recess." That would be within the next 2 1/2 weeks.

Remington 700
I Want Remington 700 that won't get to hot if I shoot it for a long time and one that has a detachable magazine in .308 caliber, any ideas
They ALL get hot with extended shooting sessions in 308. Assuming your handle means you have a ruger scout, it is just as good might better than most any remmy barrel being hammer forged. Go to remingtons site and scroll around till you find what you want. When you can not set your hand on the barrel and leave it thee it getting hot. heavy barrels hold up better than skinny but they to get hot just take a fw more rounds. If you want a high round count per session buy a AR in 5.56 with a chrome bore or a melonite treated bore.
Too many guns out there. The 700 is a nice one and the Gunsite Scout is a great rifle as well.
Have your gunsmith put a MTU (ie. #7 Bartlien, #10 Kreiger, etc...) barrel on it. While he is at it have him true the action and do a bedding job on it. Badger Ordance makes a good DBM bottom metal which you can get 10 rounds mags for and McMillan, Bell Carlson, Manners, etc... make a good selection of stocks.
I recommend buying an older used Remington 700 with a bull barrel that was manufactured before the Freedom Group bought Big Green. Remington's quality control has slipped of late (I had to send two Rem rifles back to the factory last year). The bull barrel will get hot, but your groups will not open up as they would with a sporter barrel. On the plus side, my 1997 Rem 700 ADL in 30-06 never failed to function, handled like a dream and could place three rounds in a hair over an inch (so a good marksman could have shot sub MOA with it).
Remington has offered several heavy barreled hunting tactical models over the years, and some of them may have had detachable magazines. You could always install a magazine kit too. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=27538/Product/BOTTOM-METAL-WITH-DETACHABLE-MAGAZINE
Also remember that a heavier barrel may heat up slower, but it also cools slower once it gets hot.

Garlic-Roasted Leg of Lamb
A boned leg of lamb will be much easier to carve; tie the leg securely so that it cooks evenly. Serve with the pan sauce on the side.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Source: Everyday Food, March/April 2003
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 10 garlic cloves
- Salt and pepper
- 1 boned, rolled, and tied leg of lamb (about 7 pounds)
- Lamb Pan Sauce
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a blender, process oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until smooth and emulsified, scraping down the sides as needed.
Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack set on a roasting pan; spread garlic paste all over lamb. Roast in oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135 degrees for medium rare, about 2 hours.
Transfer lamb to a platter, and discard string; keep warm while you make the Pan Sauce. Slice lamb just before serving.

This portrait of the United States Congress explores the history and promise of one of the country's most important and least understood institutions. It tells the story of the Capitol building itself—including its burning by the British in the War of 1812 and its completion in the midst of the Civil War—and chronicles the extraordinary personalities, events and issues that have animated the first 200 years of Congress and, in turn, the country.

Chomsky on Prisoner Exchange, Obama's 'Global Assassination Campaign'
What happened to the vaunted American ideal of presumption of innocence? One-man think tank Noam Chomsky poses, and answers, this question in this speech he gave Monday at New York City's Barnard College about the recent drone-assisted death of Anwar al-Awlaki and the status of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Chomsky takes aim at President Obama in the opening moments of the speech, brought to you courtesy of "Democracy Now!," calling the Awlaki incident "another step forward in Obama's global assassination campaign, which actually breaks some new records in international terrorism." He also has a few questions about the Israeli-Palestinian prisoner exchange to mitigate any unchecked optimism. Take a look in the clip below. –KA

Flames NewsFlames Home > Cross Country Home > News
The Golden Charm
People often refer to first impressions and second chances, and it is said that the third time is a charm. However, Liberty senior cross country standout Josh McDougal's fourth appearance at the NCAA Division I National Cross Country Championships turned golden. Nov. 19 in Terre Haute, Ind. McDougal held off Oregon's Galen Rupp in a stirring finish to capture the first national title of his highly decorated running career.
McDougal crossed the finish line with a completely different set of emotions than he had experienced after a disappointing 27th-place effort at the 2006 national cross country meet. The race, which marked one of the few low points of the 12-time All-American's tenure at Liberty, served only to inspire and reinvigorate the New York native.
McDougal bounced back with a stellar outdoor track season in 2007, clocking a 3:57 mile and garnering top-four finishes at the national meet in the 5K and 10K. The kinesiology major seemed poised for an exceptional senior campaign for the Flames.
Aided by the addition of Sam Chelanga and David Cheromei to his training group, McDougal pounded out week after week of 130-plus training miles over the summer, with one goal in mind—to win a national championship.
McDougal opened his last collegiate cross country campaign with triumphs at the Notre Dame Invitational, Pre-Nationals, the Big South Cross Country Championships and the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships.
The triumph at Pre-Nationals was notable because McDougal set an 8K course record at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, the site of the NCAA Division I National Cross Country Championships. His time of 22:56.4 eclipsed the short-lived record of Northern Arizona's Lopez Lomong and sent McDougal to the national meet full of confidence.
"For the first time, I felt like I was untested by the competition coming into the national meet," McDougal noted. "I felt like I had by far a better race in me. I was completely confident in my training and was more prepared than ever to win."
Not only was the Flames' senior confident, but he was especially motivated and determined to cash in on his final opportunity to win a national cross country championship.
"This was going to be my last cross country race in a Liberty uniform," McDougal remarked. "It was the only race I hadn't won, and I wanted to finish it right. Everything seemed to point to it."
Even the weather conditions turned out well for the national championship race, as the temperature hovered in the 50s under an overcast sky. More importantly, the mudpit runners had slogged through during the 2006 meet was replaced with dry, firm terrain.
One thing which did not work in McDougal's favor was the slow pace for the first half of the race. A large group of competitors crossed the 5K marker in 15:08, leaving many athletes in contention for the win.
The pace was especially appealing to Lomong, whose sprint speed was known to be superior to that of the other top contenders. "I expected Lopez [Lomong] to be all over the slow pace," recalled McDougal.
McDougal and Rupp must have been thinking the same thing during the fourth mile of the race. The duo had allowed the 10,000-meter outdoor track national championship to maintain a comfortable pace in 2007. Taking advantage was unheralded Shadrack Songok of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, who sped by McDougal and Rupp in the final 200 meters to steal the win.
Determined not to let history repeat itself, an unspoken agreement developed between McDougal and Rupp, whose rivalry dates back to high school. They alternated surges, gradually thinning out traffic in front.
By the five-mile/8K mark, McDougal and Rupp had broken away, creating a two-man race for the national title over the final two kilometers of the 10-kilometer course.
"Josh knew there was no race for him next year, and that's how he ran," noted Brant Tolsma, Liberty's head cross country coach.
"For the last 2K, it was time to buckle down and start fighting," added McDougal.
And fight McDougal did. With just 1,000 meters remaining, he built a 10-15 meter lead over Rupp in an attempt to break the Oregon standout.
McDougal had expended a considerable amount of energy opening up such a lead, though, and felt his legs begin to tighten. In the meantime, Rupp pulled up alongside McDougal and inched slightly ahead of him, with around a quarter mile left.
"With 300 meters to go, I'd saved a little bit for a finishing kick, but I didn't have much energy left," said McDougal. "I sat on Galen's shoulder and with 150 meters remaining, I went."
McDougal was able to take the lead with his final sprint and pulled away from Rupp to win by exactly one second, in 29:22.4. He flung open his arms and looked skyward as he crossed the line a national champion, shortly before collapsing from complete exhaustion.
"It was a different feeling crossing the line than it had been in other races," explained McDougal, Liberty's second NCAA Division I national champion. "I'd celebrated some of my big wins in the past, but this one was a big relief. I knew all of my pain and sacrifice had paid off."
Tolsma attempted to put the weight of McDougal's accomplishment into perspective. "Most people don't realize how difficult it is to win a cross country national title. It's like winning the Heisman Trophy. There's only one given each year."
Life has gone on as normal for McDougal after his memorable day, outside of a glut of interview requests and congratulatory notes. "For the first time, my faith was at such a point that I didn't need to win the title," the senior reflected. "It does not define me. It has not changed me at all."
McDougal even returned to competition less than two weeks later, at the indoor track season-opening Liberty Kickoff. Despite admittedly being exhausted, the senior qualified for the NCAA Division I National Indoor Track & Field Championships in both the 3K and 5K events, in consecutive days.
Now, McDougal can take most of the indoor track & field season to recover and recharge for what the 22-year-old hopes will be an extended track campaign. This year is an Olympic year and the new NCAA national champion has his sights set on Beijing in August.
"My main goal now is to make the Olympics," McDougal confirmed. "All of my training will point to that objective."
At such a young age, McDougal will likely have several chances to battle for an Olympic Team berth over the next 10-12 years. He hopes he doesn't have to wait for his fourth try this time around, though.
Paul Carmany is an assistant athletics media relations director for Liberty University who covers cross country and track.

The review will look at the skills and qualifications of the early years workforce, as well as the recruitment and retention of staff and career pathways.
It is being led by leading early education expert Professor Siraj of the Institute of Education at the University of London, a member of the research team that carried out the Effective Provision of Pre-School and Primary Education 3-11 (EPPE) longitudinal study.
The aim of the review is to ensure the sector is well placed to deliver the Scottish government's expansion of free childcare provision, a reform included in the Children and Young People Bill, which was passed by MSPs in Scottish Parliament on 19 February.
From August, three- and four-year-olds, as well as vulnerable two-year-olds, will receive 600 hours of free childcare a year. They currently receive 475 hours a year.
Other reforms in the Scottish Children and Young People Bill include:
- free school meals for every child in the first three years of primary school from next January;
- improved provision of advice and help when needed for children and families from early years to adulthood. This would include providing a named person for each child, usually their health visitor or head/senior teacher, who would be available as a single point of contact;
- new duties placed on ministers and the public sector to promote children's rights, as well as increased powers given to Scotland's Children's Commissioner;
- if Scotland becomes independent ministers will increase free childcare provision to 1,140 hours a year for all children from aged one to five.
On the review, Scotland's minister for children and young people Aileen Campbell said, 'I'm delighted that Professor Iram Siraj has agreed to lead an expert review to ensure the development of the workforce matches the scale of our ambition. By boosting skills, ensuring high quality and recognising the value of those we entrust to give our children the best start in life, we will attract the brightest and best to deliver the transformation in childcare.'

The Orioles have agreed to terms with all of their pre-arbitration players except No. 1 starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, who is coming off a season in which he made well over the normal scale for a second-year player.
The club has the right to pay him any figure as long as it doesn't cut his salary more than 20 percent, and there is a possibility that he will get less than last year because he is still benefiting from the rich major league deal he got for being the top Cleveland Indians draft choice in 2002.
The contract renewal deadline is March 11.

'SING FOR THE CITY' says the Christchurch City Choir
Tuesday 28 January 2014
2014 has been designated as the year of new beginnings for the Christchurch City Choir and membership growth is top of the agenda.
New music director, Andrew Withington, sees expansion as a vital step in providing an entertaining and relevant choral programme for the future, and is inviting singers of all ages and denominations to join the current Choir to sing for the city.
"The Christchurch City Choir has an important role to play in the life and fabric of the city and my goal is to present a vibrant and varied programme which will inspire and excite a range of audiences, both our loyal supporters and those with whom we have not yet connected" says the music director. "We need the flexibility of a larger choir to achieve this."
With more than 80 members, the Christchurch City Choir is already the largest symphonic choir in Canterbury, and Andrew hopes to double this over the next year, with a mid-year goal of 120+ members.
"It's a great opportunity for anyone who can sing and read music to participate in an established symphonic choir, developing their musical skills and gaining exposure to many different choral works. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in singing to give it a go - the rewards are huge," says Andrew.
In addition to the traditional repertoire for which the Choir is well-known, Andrew is also keen to include more contemporary and New Zealand works in the annual programme, building on the reputation and range established by former music director Brian Law, who retired in December 2013 after 22 years at the helm.
Formally established in 1991 with the merger of two long-standing choirs, the Christchurch City Choir continues a proud history of service to the community dating back 125 years, playing a significant role in the musical, economic and cultural life of the city.
It has performed large-scale classical works with the both the New Zealand and Christchurch Symphony Orchestras, participated in civic events such as Classical Sparks, and regularly collaborates with other musicians, including Woolston Brass, local kapa haka groups and Christchurch schools.
Choir rehearsals are held each Tuesday from 7.30pm to 9.45pm, with additional rehearsals prior to a performance.
'Sing for the City' auditions of 15 minute duration are being held on several dates in February:
Saturday 1 February: 4.30pm
– 6.30pm
Monday 10 February: 7.30pm – 9pm
Thursday 13 February: 8pm – 10pm
Sunday 16 February: 1pm – 5pm
Details on how to request an audition can be found on the Christchurch City Choir website, along with more information on the choir, music director and repertoire.

"This is the only race worth running. I've run hard right to the finish, believed all the way. All that's left now is the shouting–God's applause!" (2 Timothy 4:7-8, The Message).
There comes a moment in every life when a corner is turned and the finish line comes into view. This was Paul's moment, and in his closing letter to his young friend Timothy he calls him out as a champion, and gets him ready for the run of his life. "Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble," he said to him, "there's no way getting around it." (ch.3:12).
He then encouraged him to remain steadfast in the teachings of the Bible, and to keep the Message alive with his life and works. "Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another," he said, "Showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us." (ch. 3:16-17).
He reminded Timothy that God would always be there backing him up, looking over his shoulder; thereby empowering him to stay focused and complete the work that God gave him to do.
Finally, Paul turns his gaze to the finish line and says, "This is the only race worth running. I've run hard right to the finish, believed all the way. All that's left now is the shouting–God's applause!"
These times in which we live are filled with transition. There are many who have labored long and hard, faithful to the Lord, and are now headed for the finish line as they pass the baton off to you and me. Grab hold of it firmly, and run with fire to the finish.
May we be like Eric Liddell, Scottish Olympic Champion and Missionary to China, who "felt God's pleasure" when he ran — so much so that he would throw his head back and smile all the way across the finish line!
My friend, run for God's resounding applause!
Thank You for 2013!
It has been our delight to provide these daily devotions throughout this past year. Would you make a year-end tax deductible contribution to TruthWorks to help us carry on into 2014?

Stella McCartney for LeSportsac Hanging Toiletry Case
I always pack my toiletries in a hanging cosmetic case. I find it so easy to hang on a towel rack wherever I go and have my bathroom goodies waiting for me right where I need them. Stella McCartney's Le Sportsac travel goods are eco-friendly and functional. I prefer this in the Posh Colorblock, but if pink's not your thing, there are other options, too.

- DL Levi Crozier, Sr. (40 tackles, 4 sacks)
- DL Landon Ashbreck, Sr., 5-10, 200 (49 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles)
Just the facts
- Both teams have already clinched playoff berths, but district seeding remains on the line during the final two weeks of the season.
- Tyler Grace won last year's meeting 48-14.
- Brook Hill averages 25.9 points per game and allows 26.5.
- Grace averages 33.3 points per game and yields 21.7 (neither figure includes 2-0 forfeit win vs. Carrollton Prince of Peace).
- Grace's lone loss is a 50-6 decision to Dallas Christian on Sept. 27.
- Outside of that one loss, Grace has outscored its other six opponents that it has played on the field 227-102 and gone 6-0 in those contests.
- Brook Hill lost its last two games after starting district play 3-0. The combined record of the two teams that beat Brook Hill — Dallas Christian and Dallas Parish Episcopal — is 13-3.
- Brook Hill and Grace have three common opponents: Dallas Shelton, Cedar Hill Trinity Christian, and Dallas Christian.
- Brook Hill is 2-1 against those teams (W 42-0 vs. Shelton, W 47-27 vs. Trinity Christian, L 34-12 vs. Dallas Christian).
- Grace is also 2-1 against those teams (W 48-0 vs. Shelton, W 49-25 vs. Trinity Christian, L 50-6 vs. Dallas Christian).
- Carrollton Prince of Peace canceled the remainder of its schedule, resulting in forfeit wins for Grace (Oct. 25) and Brook Hill (Nov. 8).
Key matchup: Brook Hill's defensive front vs. Grace's ground game. Tyler Grace has leaned on its rushing attack all season, and for good reason.
Grace averages 256.1 rushing yards per game to 90.7 passing. Almost half of Grace's rushing yardage comes from quarterback Chandler Nutt, who gives the Cougars 117.9 per game on the ground.
Nutt's big season has come in handy for the Cougars, who have been successful offensively despite a season-ending knee injury to versatile standout Kade Clayton in the second game of the season. Running back Zach Tatman has also picked up the slack, rushing for 263 yards in Grace's last three contests.
Brook Hill needs a strong performance from its players in the box to contain Grace's rushing attack. Edmund Briggs has more than a dozen tackles for loss, while linebacker Blake Maddox is enjoying a solid season.
Don't be surprised if: This year's contest is a lot closer than last season's. The results from the games involving Grace and Brook Hill's three common opponents show strikingly similar results. Both teams won by 40-plus points against Dallas Shelton in shutouts and beat Trinity Christian by at least 20 points. They also lost in lopsided contests to Dallas Christian.
While Grace's running game could be a huge factor, so could Brook Hill's. The Guard's offense may get more attention for its passing prowess thanks to Grant Hanks' 177.5 yards per game and sophomore standout Seth Brasher's 76.9 receiving yards per contest, but running back Gabe Lucio and the Brook Hill running game have improved lately. Lucio has 516 yards in Brook Hill's last four games to account for 71.5 percent of his season rushing total.
In other words, the team that runs the ball better Friday night should have the upper hand in the ETSN.fm/Dairy Queen Game of the Week.

| Velociraptor
Fossil range: Late Cretaceous, 75-71 Ma
| Scientific classification
Velociraptor (meaning 'swift seizer'[1]) is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed approximately 75 to 71 mya (million years ago) during the later part of the Cretaceous Period.[2] Only two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past. The type species is V. mongoliensis; fossils of this species have been discovered in both Inner and Outer Mongolia in central Asia. A second species, V. osmolskae, was named in 2008 for skull material from Inner Mongolia.
Smaller than other dromaeosaurids like Deinonychus and Achillobator, the turkey-sized Velociraptor nevertheless shared many of the same anatomical features. It was a bipedal, possibly feathered carnivore with a long, stiffened tail and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each hindfoot, which is thought to have been used to kill its prey. Velociraptor can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, with an upturned snout. It is thought that Velociraptor could have ran up to 45 mph (easily out running a Protoceratops.)
Velociraptor is well known to paleontologists, with over a dozen recovered fossil skeletons—the most of any dromaeosaurid. One particularly famous specimen preserves a Velociraptor locked in combat with a Protoceratops.
Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 m (6.8 ft) long, 0.5 m (1.6 ft) high at the hip, and weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb).[4] The skull, which grew up to 25 cm (9.8 in) long, was uniquely up-curved, concave on the upper surface and convex on the lower. The jaws were lined with 26–28 widely spaced teeth on each side, each more strongly serrated on the back edge than the front.[1][5]
Velociraptor, like other dromaeosaurids, had a large manus ('hand') with three strongly curved claws, which were similar in construction and flexibility to the wing bones of modern birds. The second digit was the longest of the three digits present, while the first was shortest. The structure of the carpal (wrist) bones prevented pronation of the wrist and forced the 'hands' to be held with the palmar surface facing inwards (medially), not downwards.[6] The first digit of the foot, as in other theropods, was a small dewclaw. However, whereas most theropods had feet with three digits contacting the ground, dromaeosaurids like Velociraptor walked on only their third and fourth digits. The second digit, for which Velociraptor is most famous, was highly modified and held retracted off the ground. It bore a relatively large, sickle-shaped claw, typical of dromaeosaurid and troodontid dinosaurs. This enlarged claw, which could grow to over 6.63 cm (2.61 in) long around its outer edge,[7] was most likely a predatory device used to tear into prey, possibly delivering a fatal blow.
As in other dromaeosaurs, Velociraptor tails had long bony projections (prezygapophyses) on the upper surfaces of the vertebrae, as well as ossified tendons underneath. The prezygapophyses began on the tenth tail (caudal) vertebra and extended forward to brace four to ten additional vertebrae, depending on position in the tail. These were once thought to fully stiffen the tail, forcing the entire tail to act as a single rod-like unit. However, at least one specimen has preserved a series of intact tail vertebrae curved sideways into an S-shape, suggesting that there was considerably more horizontal flexibility than once thought.[8][7]
In 2007, paleontologists reported the discovery of quill knobs on a well-preserved Velociraptor mongoliensis forearm from Mongolia, confirming the presence of feathers in this species.
In September 2007, researchers found quill knobs on the forearm of a Velociraptor found in Mongolia.[8] These bumps on bird wing bones show where feathers anchor, and their presence on Velociraptor indicate it too may have had feathers. According to paleontologist Alan Turner and co-authors Norell and Peter Makovicky, quill knobs are not found in all prehistoric birds, and their absence does not mean that an animal was not feathered – flamingos, for example, have no quill knobs. However, their presence doesn't prove, but rather suggests, that Velociraptor bore wing feathers, with a rachis and vane formed by barbs. But, according to Turner,
"A lack of quill knobs does not necessarily mean that a dinosaur did not have feathers. Finding quill knobs on Velociraptor, though, means that it definitely had feathers. This is something we'd long suspected, but no one had been able to prove."
History of discoveryEdit
During an American Museum of Natural History expedition to the Outer Mongolian Gobi Desert, on 11 August 1923 Peter Kaisen recovered the first Velociraptor fossil known to science: a crushed but complete skull, associated with one of the raptorial second toe claws (AMNH 6515).[1] In 1924, museum president Henry Fairfield Osborn designated the skull and claw (which he assumed to come from the hand) as the type specimen of his new genus, Velociraptor. This name is derived from the Latin words velox ('swift') and raptor ('robber' or 'plunderer') and refers to the animal's cursorial nature and carnivorous diet. Osborn named the type species V. mongoliensis after its country of origin.[1] Earlier that year, Osborn had mentioned the animal in a popular press article, under the name "Ovoraptor djadochtari" (not to be confused with the similarly named Oviraptor).[12] However, because the name "Ovoraptor" was not published in a scientific journal or accompanied by a formal description, it is considered a nomen nudum ('naked name'), and the name Velociraptor retains priority.
While North American teams were shut out of communist Mongolia during the Cold War, expeditions by Soviet and Polish scientists, in collaboration with Mongolian colleagues, recovered several more specimens of Velociraptor. The most famous is part of the legendary "Fighting Dinosaurs" specimen (GIN 100/25), discovered by a Polish-Mongolian team in 1971. This fossil preserves a single Velociraptor in the midst of battle against a lone Protoceratops.[8][13][14] This specimen is considered a national treasure of Mongolia, although in 2000 it was loaned to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for a temporary exhibition.[15]
Between 1988 and 1990, a joint Chinese-Canadian team discovered Velociraptor remains in northern China.[16] American scientists returned to Mongolia in 1990, and a joint Mongolian-American expedition to the Gobi, led by the American Museum of Natural History and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, turned up several well-preserved skeletons.[7][17] One such specimen, IGM 100/980, was nicknamed "Ichabodcraniosaurus" by Norell's team because the fairly complete specimen was found without its skull (an allusion to the Washington Irving character Ichabod Crane).[18] This specimen may belong to Velociraptor mongoliensis, but Norell and Makovicky concluded that it was not complete enough to say for sure, and it awaits a formal description.[7]
Maxillae and a lacrimal (the main tooth-bearing bones of the upper jaw, and the bone that forms the anterior margin of the eye socket, respectively) recovered in 1999 by the Sino-Belgian Dinosaur Expeditions were found to pertain to Velociraptor, but not to the type species V. mongoliensis. Pascal Godefroit and colleagues named these bones V. osmolskae (for Polish paleontologist Halszka Osmólska) in 2008.

Lately, I've been feeling listless — and that's a good thing! At the end of the year, after successfully tunneling out from the colossal pile of holiday shopping catalogs and spending way too much time shredding up a sizeable stack of credit card offers, charity appeals, insurance quote invitations and other junk mail, I finally got fed up and decided to do something about these piles of unwanted paper. I decided to go listless. Heres how I did it.
Squelching Credit Card & Insurance Come-ons
If you have a credit card, you likely receive lots and lots of junk mail — including other credit card offers. This is because all of the major credit card issuers sell their customer information to any other company that's willing to pay for it. It's legal. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies (Equifax, Experian, Innovis and TransUnion) are allowed to include your name on lists used by creditors or insurers to make firm offers of credit or insurance (in other words, preapproved and not initiated by you).
You probably get at least a small pile of these each week. Since pre-approved applications often contain private information, I always feel obligated to shred them before discarding. If you spend 20 minutes weekly dealing with junk mail, that's more than 17 hours yearly that you're not doing something better with your time! Life's short — get rid of junk mail!
You can opt-out of receiving these prescreened credit card and insurance offers via telephone or online: call 1-888-567-8688. Among other things, youll be asked for a current address (and former address if you've been at the current one for less than 2 years), date of birth, and social security number.
Visit www.optoutprescreen.com. After reading the page, click on the Click Here to Opt-in or Opt Out button. Then click in the radio button next to either Electronic Opt-Out for Five Years or Permanent Opt-out by Mail and then on Submit. Regardless of which opt-out option you choose, provide the requested information and then click Confirm. If you chose the five-year option, you will be done. If you choose the permanent option, you will be asked to confirm your request in writing by printing out the completed form, signing it and then mailing it in. (A small inconvenience, true — but it's a once-and-done experience!)
If at any time after opting-out you wish to begin receiving these offers again (ha!), use the same telephone number or website to opt back in. Note that, if you have any joint credit relationships (mortgage, car loan, etc), you may continue to receive some offers unless both of you have opted out.
Quashing Catalogs
It will take both time and patience to stop the onslaught of unwanted catalogs that arrive through the US mail: You must call each company individually and request to be removed from their mailing list. I started the process in early November by throwing one copy of each catalog I no longer wished to receive in a box. By the time the holidays were over, I had a very heavy box!
On a cold winter morning, I poured myself a steaming cup of Earl Grey and installed myself on the couch under a comforter with my box of catalogs and a telephone. One at a time, I picked up each catalog and called the customer service phone number (it's usually the same number you'd use to order). Some companies have had the foresight to add an automated process for getting off their mailing list; with others, you will have to speak to a customer representative. You will likely be asked why you no longer wish to receive the catalog. I alternated my answers between, Al Gore's my brother-in-law and The voices in my head said so. (OK, not really…but I did mention saving trees and preferring to shop online.)
Note that, even after requesting to be removed from a company's mailing list, you may still receive one or two additional mailings, since this type of direct mail is usually planned several months in advance.
Investing Dollars Instead of Time
If the thought of working your way through all of the above gives you more agita than the junk mail you are receiving, you can pay somebody else to do it, instead. For $19.95/year, Boulder, Colorado-based StopTheJunk.com offers a 100% guarantee that they will halt your unwanted catalogs, credit card offers, postcards, magazines and other direct mail.
Once you create an account, you can select the companies you no longer wish to receive mail from in the organization's enormous database. Easy!
Do Not Call List
While I was busy getting list-less, I decided to get call-less as well.
The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency. It is enforced by the FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and state law enforcement officials. You can register your phone numbers via telephone or online: call 1-888-382-1222.
Multiple phone numbers will require multiple calls to this line as it only permits you to register one number during each call. Note that you have to place the call from the number you are registering.
Visit www.donotcall.gov. Three phone numbers can be registered at once online. An email address is required as you will receive one confirmation email for each number registered. Each email will contain a link that you must click on to complete the registration process. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint on this website.
Coming Soon: Do Not Track List
If you've ever been on a website and noticed that some of the advertising seems designed just for you, it's not your imagination. Plenty of sites track your moves (what you are clicking on, searching for, looking at) and display ads targeted just for you. Soon you will be able to be track-less as well as list-less and call-less.
A coalition of privacy and consumer advocacy groups have petitioned the FTC to establish a "Do Not Track" list that would allow you to block online advertisers from surreptitiously recording your browsing habits. The anti-tracking measure being proposed is loosely modeled on the National Do Not Call Registry discussed previously in this article. However, the proposed list would work a bit differently than the Do Not Call Registry.
Advertisers that track user behavior would have to report what servers they use to do so. Then you and I would have to update our web browsers to include a plug-in that could download that list of servers and click some or all of the tracking cookies.
While the above may seem like an awful lot of effort, the idea of protecting my privacy, saving some trees, and having more free time made it all worthwhile!

OK, with new announcement from the Mad Bombers of the West, I now declare this to be the most muddled war the US has stumbled into in my life. We are going in not for regime change but to protect civilians, except we're not leaving until there is regime change, except we're not really going to do what's needed to actually cause regime change. So, given Gaddafi Junior is young and probably not acceptable either, we could still be bombing Libya in, oh, say, 2050 or so.
I'm going to go drive nails into my head for a while. It will be less painful than thinking about this clusterf*%k.

Hendon's defence produced an impressive performance to help the Greens hold Ryman Premier leaders Wealdstone to a 0-0 draw on Monday evening.
The Stones look certain to go on and win the title but they were frustrated by a resolute display from Gary McCann's men.
The Hendon boss told the club's website: "It was a game where both defences were on top and both defences were excellent. The match was intriguing and, in the last half-hour, I felt that one goal would settle it.
"Casey Maclaren and Sam Flegg were magnificent in the middle of the defence and Kevin Maclaren and Lee O'Leary were outstanding in front of them.
He added: "I was really pleased with the way we started the second half, but we failed to take the chances in those 15 minutes.
"The level of commitment from my boys was so pleasing. I couldn't have asked much more of the boys, other than taking one of those chances."
Hendon, who remain eighth in the table, recorded a 2-0 win against Cray Wanderers on Saturday thanks to goals from Leon Smith and Casey McLaren.

East Falls "Mom and Mom" pharmacy closes its doors
You know a movement has traction when you can sum it up in two words: buy local. Now more than ever there's a renewed interest in supporting locally-owned independent businesses in the face of big box retailers and certain price-slashing online Goliaths which shall remain nameless. Pharmacists Beth Dewan and Genevieve Levans, owners of the independent Falls Pharmacy couldn't agree more, even as they closed their doors for good on Thursday after 12 years of serving East Falls.
"Support any local business whether there's a butcher, whether it's the pizza place, anything. They give the local people jobs and that's what I think is so important," Levans said. Falls Pharmacy has been exactly the kind of business everyone hopes will benefit from recent buy local initiatives.
A mom-and-mom shop
"We're a mom and mom," Dewan said. Literally. During the course of the pharmacy's life span both women have married and had children, pictures of whom were proudly displayed in the store. The business grew alongside their two families, and like their families (both women grew up in the greater Philadelphia area and currently reside in Roxborough) had a vested interest in the neighborhood and the people who live there.
"We paid our local taxes, we paid our employees that were local and put money back in [to the community]. The chains don't really do that." Levans takes pride in the pharmacy's direct investment in East Falls. "Everybody that has worked for us has lived within walking distance."
Mail order competition
While local support for Falls Pharmacy remained strong through its last day, it was the lack of statewide support, which influenced the owners' decision to close. As a growing number of insurance companies institute mandatory mail order prescriptions, it has become increasingly difficult for brick-and-mortar pharmacies to compete. Mail order pharmacies offer drugs at a lower cost and can fill a 90-day prescription. In contrast, community pharmacies often pay more for drugs at a wholesale level, making their retail prices higher, and are limited to filling 30-day prescriptions. In addition, insurance companies that don't mandate mail order often incentivize it by instituting lower co-pays for that particular plan option. The bottom line is that it can cost many consumers more to patronize a brick-and-mortar pharmacy provided their insurance even allows it.
There were two bills in the Pennsylvania State Legislature, House Bill 511 and Senate Bill 201, designed to stop insurers and third party administrators of prescription drug programs called Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), from mandating the use of mail order pharmacies or offering incentives which in effect promote them. Despite a lobbying effort from independent pharmacies across the state, the legislation is currently languishing in Harrisburg, with HB 511 officially tabled in July.
Stalled legislation
The stalled legislation doesn't bode well. "I think it's going to be really rough in the next 5 to 10 years for retail pharmacy," Levans said. In order to make the best of a grim economic outlook, Dewan and Levans decided to sell. Several businesses came forward to buy out Falls Pharmacy, but the owners decided to sell to Rite-Aid on the condition that the chain would take care of the local employees. Jobs have been provided for Levans and Dewan as well as two other technicians who worked at Falls.
According to Levans, customers were sad to see the pharmacy close, but relieved to learn that the two pharmacists they've come to know over the years will remain nearby. Levans will go to work at the Rite-Aid in Chestnut Hill, while Dewan will make the short hop to the Midvale Avenue Rite-Aid.
Although newly employed by a chain retailer, Levans and Dewan haven't lost their determination to support other mom-and-pop or mom-and-mom businesses. "Even though we're going to Rite-Aid, we'll probably still go to independents."

Clear all the Jelly and score 70,000 points in 25 moves.
1 star: 70000 points
2 stars: 150000 points
3 stars: 190000 points
The good news is all the jelly is up top, all but the upper most row is double jelly. The jelly ends at the 2 hit blocks. Remember once you go through those blocks you have chocolate to deal with, but there are striped and wrapped candies you can use to help plow through this. If you can unfreeze these with a striped candy, you can instantly use them to blow through a ton of candy, but remember they shoot both side to side and top to bottom, so it will release all the rest of the powerups down below. The top pieces in each column are the hardest especially with only 25 moves.
patricia frederick's tips for candy crush level 188
The best strategy here is to make a vertically striped candy match in a column with a striped/wrapped combo waiting to go. Try not to break through the cream blocks (which releases the chocolate) but if you do, don't panic, you can still beat the level…you just have to battle the chocolate and look for an opportunity to create that vertically striped candy match. Once that combo is released from the marmalade and you detonate it, it should help obliterate the chocolate and a lot of the jellies.

Eddie Van Halen and his bandmates put on hold their concerts reportedly because they are fighting and 'arguing like mad.'
Van Halen have cut short their ongoing summer tour. The newly-reunited rock band, who kicked off the roadshow on February 18 in Louisville, have decided to put on hold the gigs that follow their June 26 concert in New Orleans.
Neither official reason has been released by Eddie Van Halen and his bandmates regarding the postponements nor rescheduled dates have been announced. The tour's AEG Live also did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Sources from some of the venues where the band booked their gig denied any speculations suggesting that the postponements were made because of poor ticket sales. "It's selling pretty good - I don't know why they would say it's being canceled," said a source at the Mohegan Sun Arena, where the band were supposed to perform on July 7.
According to Rolling Stone, some of the non-canceled concerts have nearly sold out, including a June 19 show at Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis and a June 20 gig at American Airlines Center in Dallas. "We're selling really well," said Jack Larson, vice president and general manager of the Xcel Center. "We're looking forward to it."
Another source told the publication that the members of the band didn't get along. They "hate each other," the source claimed. "The band is arguing like mad. They are fighting." Three original members Eddie, Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth are joined by Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen for the tour.

Seems like Priyanka Chopra who enjoys a good fan following across the World came to know about the star power of Ram Charan while shooting for their upcoming flick 'Zanjeer/Toofan' in Hyderabad.
To a question on her working experience with the 'Zanjeer' co-star, Priyanka said Charan is a huge star in Andhra Pradesh and it was impossible to shoot on the streets anywhere in the Telugu state with him. She is hopeful of Mega Hero getting a rousing reception from Hindi audience just like it happened for Dhanush with Raanjhanaa.
Priyanka, who will be seen as a Gujarati girl from New York, is very talkative in the movie and she will be bringing much needed relief in the high-octane action flick. She admits to have felt very difficult while uttering the Telugu dialogues during the shooting of 'Toofan' and it was Cherry who came to her rescue.
Trade sources say, PeeCee's word of praise will surely be giving a good mileage for Mega Powerstar in Bollywood circuit.

July 27th will mark the 3 year anniversary of the death of Kidd Kraddick, I hope you will join me in continuing his legacy of paying it forward by sharing your kind heart with the world. Do it for Kidd. It was just announced today that Kidd would be inducted into the National Radio Hall Of Fame. The induction will take place on 11/7 at the Museum Of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. You can read more here
(Originally posted 7/29/13)
Today has been molasses. The hours oozing by in a slow thick dark sludge. It was only when I got to the station and saw the grief counselor and the shell shocked faces of my co workers that my denial gave way to the breathtaking impossible reality that one of our own was gone forever.
Kidd Kraddick was the Mount Everest of radio personalities. Over the weekend he reached even higher and touched the face of God. This was not just the death of a singular radio talent. His staggering loss marks the end of an era.
How do you cope? How do you proceed? How do you simply find enough oxygen to continue to breathe?
If there is anything that can be said about Kidd's shocking death it is that it highlights what he stood for. Life. He lived his to the fullest and with Kidds Kids he made it sweeter for so many others.
If we were to measure our time on this earth in jelly beans, we get about 28,835. Give or take.... Kidd got 19,357 and he shared every single one of them with his coworkers, with his family, friends and with the world. He may be gone from the earth but his generous spirit will live & love forever. For those of us left standing, numb and grieving know this: if we each play our beans right we will always be a Kidd at heart.

Concentration, Relaxation, and True Focus
Drug testing in Western Australia is, in some ways, an art form. CMM Technology knows this, and we provide you with the best tools to create a smooth running business among all of your employees. To do this, you must have information, and to have this information, you must be able to use quality equipment.
Well, we are here for you. CMM Technology, though a very technical company, can see the art form that your company can become if all of your employees are tested and are fit for duty. It is this quality control that we know develops into a quality business.
For other aspects of a quality business, we will now address concentration, relaxation, and true focus. When people relax, their minds wander, and they are able to daydream and be creative in their own thoughts. However, when they concentrate on the task at hand, they hopefully do not allow their thoughts to wander too much. Furthermore, focus takes this a step closer to unbroken concentration. Focus puts the mind of the observer on just their project or particular action, and they avoid getting lost in all of the society and happenings around them.
When a worker abuses drugs or alcohol, they are unable to focus clearly. They can stay concentrated, to some degree, on a task as long as it involves no other distractions. However, we all know how unrealistic that can be. There are distractions everywhere when people are working, even if they are working all alone from the quiet of their own home. Even in that circumstance, people and dogs and cars driving by bring noises from outside. The internet, as ever, calls to you to put down your work and browse the web for a little bit. The phone rings and you get lost with an old acquaintance or pushing forward toward new business goals.
Focus is important and lack of emotional intelligence and drug or alcohol abuse are the worst when it comes to breaking that focus. Make sure that your employees have an added edge to their professional skills by making it company policy that substances or the abuse thereof are not allowed on your worksite. Make sure they follow these rules by ordering drug test equipment from CMM Technology and evaluating them through the use of employee drug testing. Call CMM Technology today: (+61) 1300 79 70 30.

Customs chief relieved after P2-million offer
CEBU CITY -- A Bureau of Customs (BOC) official was told to transfer effective June 15, several days after he reportedly refused an offer of P2 million for the release of a P15-million batch of black corals. Captain Jerry Arrizabal, commander of the Customs Police Division in the Port of Cebu, said he will abide by the decision of his superiors in Manila and will do his best, wherever he is assigned. Arrizabal was transferred to the Port of Davao. He will be replaced by Captain Isidro Estrera, who is currently at the Port of Cagayan de Oro. Importers and exporters in Cebu who denounced unscrupulous business owners for illegally harvesting corals suspect that influential coral poachers are behind Arrizabal's transfer. The offer to Arrizabal was reportedly made by a man who hails from Mindanao and also works with the BOC. Senator Jose Miguel Zubiri, who visited Cebu to inspect a facility at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, said he will include in next month's Senate hearing some BOC officials, especially Commissioner Angelito A. Alvarez and Nestorio Gualberto, director of the Enforcement and Security Service (ESS). The Customs Police Division reports to the ESS. Zubiri said the couple from Zamboanga City who allegedly owned the seized black sea fan corals is so influential, that their previous cases of coral poaching have stayed pending for five years. "Our next hearing will be in July and we will invite the superiors of Captain Arrizabal to shed light on his transfer. Is this related to the seizure of the black sea corals, or what? We will get the truth," Zubiri said. Last May 31, Gualberto and Horacio Suansing, the deputy commissioner for the Intelligence Group, came to Cebu to inspect the P15-million batch of corals seized by a team that Arrizabal headed. During a press conference, Gualberto said that Arrizabal's command has been chosen as the Best District Command, while Arrizabal has been picked as the best district commander in the country. "He is really a very efficient customs police officer," Gualberto said. However, 15 days after Gualberto said that, Arrizabal's transfer to Mindanao was supposed to take effect. When asked to comment, Gualberto said the transfer was a decision of Commissioner Alvarez. Suansing also said the transfer of Arrizabal is part of the rigodon or rotation ordered by the Department of Finance (DOF) secretary. "For us, Arrizabal is still the best district commander and a very efficient police officer. But it's the policy of the Customs commissioner to transfer customs officials who have been in their assignments for more than two years already," Gualberto said. Gualberto said the transfer of customs police commanders will involve six major customs ports in the country: the Port of Cebu, Port of Cagayan de Oro, Port of Davao, Port of Manila, Port of Batangas and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). As to the reported P2-million offer made to Arrizabal, Gualberto said he never received a report about it. Meanwhile, Zubiri, chairman of the Senate committee on environment and natural resources, clarified he has not issued any proposal banning the export of shells and its by-products. In the past week, shell and shell craft exporters agreed to fight Zubiri's alleged move to ban the export of all shells and shell crafts, saying millions of fishers and their dependents would go hungry if that became the law. "I have not issued any proposal on the banning of the exports of shells and shell crafts in the country, as we are still investigating the circumstances of the particular case of the black corals, turtles and other marine life that were apprehended by the Bureau of Customs in Manila and Cebu last month," Zubiri said. The senator said the proposal was made by a resource person, Anna Oposa of the Law of Nature Foundation, who attended the Senate investigation on allegations of massive coral poaching. "Oposa suggested during the hearing that these shell crafts be banned. It was not the committee chair who suggested it," Zubiri said. He said he agreed with the observation of the Cebu shell and shell crafts exporters that millions of people will be affected if there is a total ban on shell exports. Zubiri, however, pointed out that there are laws that regulate the collection and trade of shell species that are rare and endangered. Under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora, some shell species are not supposed to be collected, harvested and exported outside. Several Philippine shells are on the list of items that are not supposed to be traded. (EOB/Sun.Star Cebu) Published in the Sun.Star Cebu newspaper on June 19, 2011.

Steve Jobs demonstrated Apple's new iPad today, showing off some of the functions of the new device.
He started with a demo of Web browsing on the thin tablet device. Using touch gestures to read the New York Times, Time magazine and other sites, Jobs showed how the tablet quickly changes from landscape to portrait mode and back for easy reading and viewing.
Next, sitting on the near-empty stage, Jobs checked his e-mail on the iPad, including instantly reading PDF attachments and viewing embedded maps.
Photos show up in small images and as albums, and like with Web browsing you can easily turn from portrait to landscape. A bar at the bottom of the screen lets you quickly scroll the photos in an album. The device sorts by events, places and faces, and you can quickly set up a slide show with transitions and music. You can also use multitouch gestures to get a sneek peak inside an album.
More coming as it happens.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate is more effective when given together with or without gemcitabine hydrochloride in killing tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride to see how well it works compared with liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate alone in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.

Cell Phone Meets Barcode Scanner
Imagine driving by a for sale house, and with the click of a button on your cell phone, you know how many bedrooms and bathrooms are in the house, the listing price, realtor, even a phone number to follow up with. With new barcode scanning technology now allowing cell phones to read bar codes, a whole new realm of possibilities is here.
While it may not surprise you that a cell phone can read a barcode label, what will surprise you is what you can do with that barcode label. You could place a barcode in a magazine and have customers simply read the bar code to preview your product. From movie previews, music previews or text files, your cell phone can now be your link to the consumer market at any time.
How does a barcode do such a thing? And on a cell phone? This new innovation is only available currently for Smartphones, or Mobile PC phones that run software. Also, in order to read these barcodes your Smartphone must have a camera attached to scan the bar code.
Currently in Japan, McDonalds around the country have started placing barcodes on the Hamburger foil, allowing customers to scan the foil their food came in, and see nutritional information about what they ate. In Japan, these codes did not become mainstream until the largest cell phone companies started loading the code readers on all new phones a few years ago. Now, millions of people have the capability built into their phones, and businesses, in turn, are using them all over, on billboards, street signs, published materials and even food packaging.
There are endless possibilities associated with this new barcode industry, anywhere from Insurance Quotes, Boarding Planes, Reservations, Groceries and more, all possible through this breakthrough in barcode scanning technology. Pharmacies could scan your medication, and Myspacers could scan their profile onto their phone, as well as their friends.
A whole new sector of advertising has been opened up as well, allowing advertisers to see for the first time how many people actually see and read ads in magazines. Sports articles could contain a barcode that shows a clip of the game.
With a whole world of possibilities offered by barcodes, with current advances in technology hopefully we will see these barcode labels being used in our market in the months to come.
