Wednesday's ad is entitled First Fine Day Of Spring, and the illustration was done in 1953 by John Gannam. It's #81 in a series entitled "Home Life in America," also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, which looks more impressionist than previous ones, several couples are enjoying the first decently warm day of spring. Still wearing jackets and long sleeves, they've got lots of beer to keep them warm.
Patent No. 3586514A: Thin-Walled Plastic Container For Beer
Today in 1971, US Patent 3586514 A was issued, an invention of Taco Vijlbrief, assigned to Heineken Tech Beheer NV, for his "Thin-Walled Plastic Container For Beer." There's no Abstract, though it's described this way in the application:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, it has been found that a thin-walled container specially suitable for beer and other oxygen-sensitive materials is obtained by having a hard polymer or copolymer of vinyl chloride containing such a quantity of anti-oxidizing agent that the oxygen permeability of this hard polymer or copolymer, measured as the number of cm. of oxygen of standard temperature and pressure which has passed through 1 cm. of the plastic through a thickness of 1 mm, per second, per cm. of oxygen overpressure at 20 C. (mercury), amounts to about 10- cm. (STP)mm./cm. sec., cm. Hg or lower.
By thin-walled throughout the specification and claims is understood that the thickness of the wall does not exceed 2.5 millimeters. Thicker walls present working difficulties and moreover, the problem of undesired oxygen permeation through the wall is felt only if the wall is thin.
A modern PET Heineken bottle.
Beer In Ads #1949: First Catch Of The Season
Tuesday's ad is entitled First Catch of the Season, and the illustration was done in 1953 by Douglass Crockwell. It's #80 in a series entitled "Home Life in America," also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, a departure from the earlier ads, a series of ten smaller illustrations tells a story of fishing, beer, fish and beer and fish, and of course the one that got away.
Patent No. 243297A: Alcohol Still
Today in 1881, US Patent 243297 A was issued, an invention of Oliver L. Perin, for his "Alcohol Still." There's no Abstract, though it's described this way in the application:
My invention is in the nature of an improvement upon a continuous still for the manufacture of alcohol for which Letters Patent were granted myself, Daniel Horan, and Dominick McGoen, July 20, 1880, and has for its object the arrangement of the several elements of the vaporizing-chambers in a novel manner, to be hereinafter described, which is calculated to improve the efficiency of the still, and at the same time will materially cheapen the construction thereof; and it consists in constructing the vaporizing-chamber of the usual rectangular form, and providing a bottom or licor of copper or other suitable material, which shall contain a great number of small perforations. Upon this bottom I erect three (or any odd number more than three) partitions, alternately attached to the opposite end timbers of the chamber. The partitions are made as much shorter than the clear length of the chamber as the width of spaces between the partitions and side timbers of the chamber and between adjacent partitions. At the end of one of the spaces between a partition and its corresponding side timber of the chamber I construct a box or bay with a weir or overflow plate of copper, raised two or three inches above the floor or bottom of the chamber. The partition at the bay is raised higher than the edge of the weir, in order that all beer or mash delivered into the bay shall be compelled to pass over the weir in a thin sheet, and be evenly distributed over the bottom of the chamber as it flows along the next connecting channel. From the next chamber above a down-pipe is' suspended, which dips into the bay below the level of the Weir-plate sufficiently to form a seal against the steam-pressure in the chamber and prevent the steam ascending to the next chamber above through At the opposite side of the chamber a down-pipe is suspended to dip into the bay of the next lower chamber. The upper end of the down-pipe is raised sufficiently above the floor or bottom of the chamber to which it is attached to maintain a thin sheet ot' liquid over the perforations in the bottom previously mentioned. The beer or mash flows through the down-pipe into the bay, over the weirplate and down one channel. formed by the partitions previously mentioned, and up the next, and down the next, and so on until it reaches the down-pipe at the opposite side of the chamber, through which it descends to the next chamber below, where the same operation is repeated, the direction of the currents of beer, however, being reversed. Meanwhile the beer or mash, passes over the floor, the steam (introduced first into the lowest chamber but one of the still) and the spirituous vapor ascends from chamber to chamber through the perforations in the bottoms of the chambers, these perforations being of such dimensions that no beer or mash can descend through them against the pressure (usually five or six pounds) in the still. The heat in the steam being transmitted to the beer to expel the spirit, it condenses and works back through the down-pipes to the bottom of the still, where it is drawn oft with the residuals of the beer as slop.
Beer In Ads #1948: Trailer Camp Friendships
Monday's ad is entitled Trailer Camp Friendships, and the illustration was done in 1953 by Douglass Crockwell. It's #79 in a series entitled "Home Life in America," also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, a campground is filled with campers drinking beer. And even though they brought cans, they're all poured into pilsner glasses, which seems to obviate the reason they brought cans in the first place. A newly arrived couple is waving from the next camp over. I hope they brought more beer, because that's how trailer park friendships are forged.
Patent No. 3670929A: Beverage Dispensing Keg
Today in 1972, US Patent 3670929 A was issued, an invention of Harry E. Berry, for his "Beverage Dispensing Keg." Here's the Abstract:
A beer keg construction having only a single access aperture opening midway between the top and bottom of the side wall of the keg with first and second male component quick-connect connectors being mounted inwardly of the aperture in the keg on an endwall of a cylindrical cup-like support member which can be removed from the aperture to enable cleaning and filling of the interior of the keg and with two female component quick-connect connectors on a pressure hose and lager hose being connectable to the male component connector members to enable liquid dispensing and keg pressurization with a minimum of difficulty.
Patent No. 2988820A: Apparatus For Treating Hops
Today in 1961, US Patent 2988820 A was issued, an invention of Albert Edward Brookes, for his "Apparatus For Treating Hops and the Like." There's no Abstract, though it's described this way in the application:
The object of this invention is to provide in a convenient form apparatus for treating hops or the like.
Apparatus according to the invention comprises in combination a chamber, a perforated endless conveyor extending across the upper part of the chamber, means for supplying hot air under pressure to the chamber, adjustable means for determining the proportion of the conveyor through which the hot air can escape from the chamber, and means responsive to the temperature of the air above the conveyor for determining the setting of said adjustable means.
Beer In Ads #1947: Four Hands On The Keyboard
Sunday's ad is entitled Four Hands On The Keyboard, and the illustration was done in 1953 by Douglass Crockwell. It's #78 in a series entitled "Home Life in America," also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, a large party has consumed so much beer that two of them sat down at a piano and are belting out tunes. BUt look at the expression on the woman in the red dress. She is not amused.
Patent No. 521650A: Beer Filter
Today in 1894, US Patent 521650 A was issued, an invention of Carl Hafner, for his "Beer Filter." There's no Abstract, though it's described this way in the application:
This invention relates to certain improvements vin filters, particularly beer filters. The object of the invention is to provide an improved beer filter exceedingly cheap, simple and durable in construction, and which will thoroughly and economically filter the ,beer 1n an improved manner.
The invention consists in certain novel features of construction and in combination of the parts more fully pointed out hereinafter and particularly described in the claim.
Patent No. 28799A: Ventilation Of Casks Containing Liquids
Today in 1860, US Patent 28799 A was issued, an invention of Louis Wilhelm, for his "Ventilation of Casks Containing Liquids" or "Cock." There's no Abstract, though it's described this way in the application:
The nature of my invention consist-s in the arrangement of a ventilator in the top of the cask and the connection of the same by means of a cord or chain to the tap or faucet so that when the plug of the faucet is turned to allow the liquor to escape from the cask the ventilator will be opened and admit air in at the top of the cask and when the plug is turned to stop the flow of the liquor the ventilator will close itself by the action of a spring.

Ravell Call, Deseret News
WEST JORDAN — Just before 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, the first students at Fox Hollow Elementary began trickling into the school cafeteria.
Within minutes, tables were filled with the din of frenzied conversation and plastic lunch trays sporting a feast of corn dog bites, french fries, milk and assorted fruits and vegetables.
Amidst the hubbub, sixth-grade students Jason Holgate and Haden Bishop flicked through the pages of an iPad app breaking down Tuesday's menu options at Fox Hollow and checking what the rest of the week had in store.
"Just the touch of a button and it tells you how many carbs, fat, protein and sodium," Holgate said while browsing the menu items.
The app, produced by developer Nutrislice and rolling out this year at all Jordan District schools, is the first of its kind in Utah and provides detailed school-by-school information to parents and students on the month's lunch and breakfast offerings.
In addition to the nutritional information described by Holgate, the app shows pictures of the various menu items; a description; a list of potential allergens like peanuts, eggs, soy or milk; and in time will display the local farm that provided the day's fresh produce.
Bishop, who said he eats school lunch about half the time, said the app lets him look ahead and decide when to bring food from home.
"I can look and see what days my favorite food is here," he said. "(My parents and I) have been talking about whether it's worth it and I think it is because it's really accessible and easy to use."
The app, which is free for parents, cost the district roughly $2,500 for a pilot program with the year-round elementary schools and $8,000 to maintain the app district-wide for a full academic year, district dietitian Katie Bastian said.
It is one of several initiatives undertaken by Jordan District this year to both improve communication with parents on school lunch offerings as well as encourage healthy eating habits in children.
Fresh farm produce
In addition to the school menu app, district nutrition officials are working with area farmers to provide fresh produce during Utah's growing season. The district is also planning two Utah's Own days, one in the fall and one in spring, in which every menu item district-wide will be provided by local suppliers.
"Because of Utah's growing season, it's not feasible to get everything that we do all year-round local," Bastian said. "It's dependent on the growing season, but they've committed certain produce items for us from the beginning of August through about October."
Last year, schools were hit by a set of federal guidelines aimed at improving student health. The guidelines, part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, emphasized fruits and vegetables while putting a cap on portion sizes for meats, grains and sweets.
The guidelines drew criticism nationwide, with students complaining of empty stomachs and administrators concerned about increased amounts of wasted, costly produce.
Portion size mandates were ultimately relaxed, but Bastian said since last year children have adjusted to the healthier meals and schools have learned how to cater menus to student tastes.
"It was definitely a process of learning this past year, but our focus this year is going to be on student participation and increasing the things that they like and are healthy for them," Bastian said.

Anyone interested must be a full-time student and must bring their own equipment to the tryouts. A current physical with the signature of a medical doctor is required to participate in the tryout, and all participants must fill out a student-athlete tryout waiver form at least 72 hours prior to the tryout date.

The Aggies open the 2012-13 season on Friday, Oct. 26, in an exhibition game against Grand Canyon. Utah State returns three starters among five lettermen from last year's team that finished the season with a 21-16 record, advancing to the championship game of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT).

Gloom hanging over UK's bleak energy future deepens after Centrica's nuclear fallout
The gloom hanging over Britain's bleak energy future deepened on Monday. New nuclear generators – crucial for the security of the UK's energy supply in the coming decades – were dealt another blow after Centrica withdrew its support for the technology.
The British Gas owner had been in a 20:80 deal with French giant EDF to construct four shiny new reactors that would bring power to millions of homes for more than half a century.
But on Monday it pulled the plug on the deal, citing soaring costs, a shifting timetable and shareholder impatience.
How Britain sold out to overseas energy investors
It comes after a torrid seven days for the technology. Last week, large question marks were raised over the disposal of nuclear waste after Cumbria council slapped down plans to dig an underground store. Then, over the weekend, a powerful group of MPs – the Public Accounts Committee – said that cleaning up the Sellafield nuclear site had cost taxpayers a whopping £67.5billion.
Monday's declaration by Centrica that it could not shoulder the financial burden of erecting the stations heaped more trouble on the Government and prospects for nuclear power.
Already the group has incinerated £200million of shareholders' money on the project – cash which was raised as part of a highly dilutive £2.2billion rights issue in 2008.
It will embark on a £500m share buy-back to return some of that money to investors, but will write down the £200m of costs in the coming set of financial results.
'The decision to give cash back to shareholders rather than invest in new nuclear will be an embarrassment for the Coalition Government,' said Deutsche Bank analyst Martin Brough.
But Centrica defended the decision, saying the money came from shareholders in the first place and that it had reached a fork in the road on whether to continue or pull out.
Finance chief Nick Luff said the landscape had changed significantly since it signed up to the nuclear project in 2009, with costs of new reactors spiralling and the timing pushed back and back.
As a result, shareholders would no longer wait until the mid-2020s to see returns – although he did not rule out investing in the reactors once they were built, replicating Centrica's ongoing deal to own 20 per cent stake in EDF's existing nuclear stations in Britain.
But it is understood that Centrica's shoes could soon by filled, after EDF's UK chief executive Vincent de Rivaz hinted that more than one new investor was waiting in the wings.
He said: 'Centrica is no longer in the position to invest in the longer term. That is fine, we understand that. But there are investors ready to invest in the long term.'
One name widely circulated is that of China's state-backed Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp.
But it sounds as if de Rivaz, who is understood to have been courting other potential investors for a while, may have another financial backer up his sleeve.
All that now stands in the way of the 'shovel-ready' venture (de Rivaz's words) is the government-agreed price that EDF can charge for its power at the end of the process.
This, set by a complicated measure called contracts for difference, will allow EDF to recoup its money by charging a guaranteed rate throughout the life of the reactor. The figure, which has been haggled over for months, is still not decided – to the intense frustration of de Rivaz, who had been hoping to present the case before his investors last year.
'We're on the cusp of this monumental decision,' he said. 'Our business case is sitting on the table of the British Government. It is now in the hands of the people in the Government. The ball is in their court.' Once that is sorted, he said, other investors will come on board.
'The Government has to get investment in new generation to happen,' he said.
'The decision of Centrica doesn't change the reality that both sides need to show leadership and determination to sort the problem that we all know is Britain's challenge to have new investment in new generation – particularly nuclear.'
- Hitachi – the next in line to build new generators after EDF – has bulked up its nuclear team. The Japanese giant appointed industry veteran Masaharu Hanyu to lead its European nuclear arm.
The group, which is planning to build six reactors across two sites, is seeking approval for its Advanced Boiling Water reactor, a process likely to take three years.
But once approval is granted, supporters claim that its design will be quicker and cheaper to build than EDF's.

John Kirkwood on Gay Judges: 'We Were Better Off When the Mafia Ran Illinois'
Illinois pastor John Kirkwood joined Peter LaBarbara on Americans for Truth About Homosexuality Radio Hour last week to discuss a pending challenge to Illinois' ban on same-sex marriage. The two were up in arms because the Cook County circuit court judge presiding over the case, Sophia Hall, is openly gay. Not only do they want Judge Hall to recuse herself from the case (the Right made a similar, unsuccessful demand of Judge Vaughn Walker, who presided over the Prop 8 trial in California), but they take issue with the very existence of openly gay judges.
Kirkwood, perusing a newsletter article about a function honoring openly LGBT judges in Cook County compared the event to one honoring "the adulterous judges of Cook County" and mused, "We were better off when the Mafia ran Illinois because they were interested in making a profit, not making some kind of political statement that is totally abhorrent."
LaBarbara: It's just amazing, John. I mean, you know, Cook County is corrupt, but it's hard to appreciate how corrupt it is if you're outside of Illinois. And this is a county that, and we have a photo here of Judge Hall, she's one of 14 openly homosexual judges in this county.
Kirkwood: Yeah, you know, it's affectionately called "Crook County" now. And I can actually make the bold statement, and it might sound absurd as a pastor, but we were better off when the Mafia ran Illinois because they were interested in making a profit, not making some kind of political statement that is totally abhorrent.
Kirkwood: It just occurred to me how outrageous it would seem if the headline you read is, "Seek to Honor the Adulterous Judges of Cook County."
LaBarbara: Right, right, well that goes to, John, that goes to you as a pastor and all of us. We're believers and we regard homosexuality as a serious sexual sin. And so, yeah, just even the language: "gay judges." I mean these are judges who are openly practicing immoral conduct, they're proud of it, and even though they don't think like that, that's how many people regard homosexuality and that's the problem.

Overview: Darfur combines all of the great things the world loves about Sudan, like oppression, Islamic extremism, poverty, and famine, but adds in Sudanese-backed militias trying to ethnically cleanse rebel groups. It's basically Sudan's bad neighborhood.
Sudan has been selling its oil to China and using its money to expand its army, enrich its despots, and provide weapons and ammunitions to militias operating in Darfur.
Crisis Point: Every year more and more college kids in Europe and the United States are wearing save Darfur t-shirts and claiming there is a genocide going on. Eventually, voters might notice, forcing the United States to do something really embarrassing like drop humanitarian aid or work with the UN to send in peace keepers.
US Interests: Sudan produces large quantities of oil that they aren't selling to America. Horseback Janjaweed outlaws tarnish the reputation of cowboys by shooting off genitals and raping children.
Stumbling Blocks: Another African genocide? The United States had hoped those savages learned their lesson when the US did nothing about Rwanda. What is it going to take to convince them America doesn't care!?
Chinese involvement in the Sudanese oil infrastructure might prevent the United States from engaging in the indiscriminant bombing of Sudan's oil infrastructure.
Solution: Hold a press conference showing off satellite images of the Sudan's Chinese-operated oil production facilities and label them as "Al Qaeda training camps." Bin Laden was in the Sudan like 15 years ago, so it's plausible enough for the suckers in the media. Destroy all oil production facilities with cruise missiles and then drop a bunch of MREs in the desert.
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE to use MREs and not bomblets. We don't want a repeat of Croatia.
We clear up the BREXIT for confused Americans wondering why the global economy is collapsing this time.

Outstanding 5.0 /5 from 7 reviews
Just had the most amazing and relaxing week at Reef...from driving through the wooden gates, entering the main house and the ocean suite (Namal) just blew us away from the moment we arrived!! The beautiful colour schemes, size of the rooms, the granite bath, rainfall shower, the many historical artefacts, pictures, floor tiles, not to mention the beautiful grounds, swimming pool, outdoor restaurant and gardens, every detail has been so carefully planned and selected by Brendan and Bernadette. The extremely high standard of service, the staff, the most amazing food also make Reef one of the very best places we have ever stayed!!! A favourite of ours was enjoying the most stunning sunsets by the pool with cocktails each evening. We will definitely be returning!!! A huge thanks to Brendan and Malith (General Manager) for a perfect week!

Can anyone help me. I came to biking late i life (im 40) and passed my test before the new test came into effect.
As i felt i would look silly on a 125 i bought a 2006 suzuki bandit and had a mechanic fit this.
Its now 2 years since i passed and want to remove the kit. Im reluctanct to go to the mechanic as he gave me a price got the kit from suzuki but when i rang to get the bike he said it was taking a lot longer and so i ended up paying more than the original quote.
I do have the cert but to be honest it seems fast to me so maybe he never fitted it ?
Anyhow, i did get a haynes manual but this for the newer fuel injection so doést have carbs description.
i have serviced the bike myself with oil, filter , air filter plugs etc so feel i could remove the kit, but what am i looking for ?
i have seem a friends gsxr but it has a throttle restrictor that limits the movement.
please how do i remve the kit and what am i looking for
many thanks

Excellent 4.1 /5 from 14 reviews
Great. The owner is the BEST. What a great guy. He helped us with everything! On Christmas Eve we needed to find a gas station and he escorted us to one. Parking is right in front of the hotel door. We could see our car from the hotel window. We could adjust the heat to how warm or cool we wanted it. The water pressure was great...plenty of hot water. the wifi worked great. The breakfast is at a "italian bar" next door where we were able to order as much coffee and pastry as we wanted. The location was close to the center of Corato. Easy drive to Trani and Biscegli. Lots of activity in the Corato center at night...a bit noisy..but quiets down at a reasonable time. I would most definitly stay here again. I traveled with my partner and we experienced NO homophobia! We were treated as a couple with complete respect!
We had a very comfortable stay. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. La Dimora is an "Albergo diffuso" which means there are several locations so your room may be in a different building. Our room was very nice, in an elevator building, which was great at the end of a long day!

Topic: Seeds and Seeding, Edible Plants, Poisonous Plants, Trees
Title: Can poisonous seed of wild plum be safely removed after steaming from Seymour IA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I read on a related questions that you said the pit/seeds of all wild plums are poisonous. My question is this, can I juice the entire fruit for making jelly without removing the pit first? I have a steam juicer and would like to put the entire cleaned fruit into it to process rather than pitting them first. Thank you.
There are 35 members of the Prunus (plum) genus native to North America, 11 of which are native to Iowa. Of those, the one that grows closest to Wayne County is Prunus americana (American plum) which the USDA shows as growing in Clarke County, next door from you on the southern border of Iowa. We always check for this sort of information to be sure the climate, rainfall and soils are right in the area in which the plant in question is being grown.
While nearly everything we read in our research mentioned the fact that everything on the Prunus plant, twigs, leaves, seeds, was poisonous except the fruit, no mention was made of removal of the seed before cooking. We found numerous recipes for wild plum jelly, including this one from GardenGuides.com How to Make Wild Plum Jelly. None of the recipes mentioned removing the seed first, but all specified draining the "mush" after cooking through several layers of cheesecloth, and discarding what was left in the cheesecloth mesh. That would certainly be a step not to be missed, because the fruit itself is small and the seeds smaller, so you need to be sure they are gone. We read several recipes from reputable sources and no mention of poisoning was made, so we think you are safe. The third picture from our Image Gallery, below, is the seed of the fruit with attached pulp.

McDonald's supplier: Meat packaging issue isolated
NEW YORK – It isn't a household name, but the company at the center of a food scandal in China helps make some of the world's most popular foods, including Big Macs and Quarter Pounders served at McDonald's.
OSI Group, a privately held company based in Aurora, Illinois, was thrust into the spotlight last weekend when a Chinese TV station reported that one of its Shanghai plants repackaged old beef and chicken and slapped new expiration dates on them. The scare has ensnared chains including McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and Starbucks, all of which got ingredients from a unit of OSI in the region called Husi Food Co.
The controversy deepened Wednesday when five workers for Husi were detained by police. An official with China's food safety regulator told the Xinhua News Agency that some of the illegal conduct it uncovered was an arrangement "organized" by Husi.
None of OSI's more than 50 other plants around the world have been implicated, and CEO Sheldon Lavin noted in a statement that authorities in China have inspected and found no issues at its other facilities. He called what happened at the Shanghai location "completely unacceptable."
The scandal is a blemish for OSI, which began as a family-run meat market in 1909 and prides itself on its high standards. The company notes on its website that it has a "strong heritage of quality and service" and that food safety and quality assurance are "guiding principles."
Its business took off after Ray Kroc tapped it in the 1950s to be a beef supplier for McDonald's Corp. OSI grew alongside McDonald's as the hamburger chain expanded around the world, and it even helped create the McRib.
OSI doesn't have to report financial information, but according to PrivCo, which researches privately held companies, it had $6.13 billion in sales last year. OSI doesn't publicly disclose all of its clients either, but it supplies numerous big-name chains, including Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., for which it cooks some beans and carnitas and barbacoa meats.
In the U.S., OSI has said it has systems in place to ensure products can be located and taken out of the system within two hours if any issues arise. Executives have said they work with an outside public relations agency to stage mock crises periodically to be prepared for real-life controversies.
Richard Adams, a former owner of McDonald's restaurants in Southern California who now runs a consulting firm for franchisees, said OSI closely oversees its production process in the U.S. and that he didn't know how the lapses in China occurred.
"They wouldn't be a McDonald's vendor if they weren't producing quality products," Adams said.
It's unknown how much of OSI's revenue come from China or whether it has similar safety checks there, but the company is already dealing with fallout from the controversy at its Shanghai plant.
Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, said Wednesday that OSI wasn't a major supplier for its restaurants in any region of the world but that it was terminating all agreements with the company, including in Australia and the United States. Yum, based in Louisville, Kentucky, added that it reserves the right to take legal action against OSI.
Over at McDonald's, the impact on the menu was far greater. A spokeswoman, Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem, said the Shanghai plant supplied products including sausage patties, ham patties, beef patties and chicken nuggets.
As of Wednesday, McDonald's locations in Shanghai were still unable to serve some items.
In the past, OSI has said it is the biggest supplier of protein for McDonald's in the world.
McDonald's said in a statement Wednesday that it has been in direct contact with OSI's management and that it would transition to supply its restaurants from other OSI plants in China, including a new one in Henan.

There were more small meat-eating dinosaurs than first thought
University of Alberta researchers used fossilized teeth to identify at least 23 species of small meat-eating dinosaurs that roamed western Canada and the United States, 85 to 65 million years ago. Until now, only seven species of small two-legged meat-eating dinosaurs from the North American west had been identified.
U of A palaeontologist Philip Currie and student Derek Larson examined a massive dataset of fossil teeth that included samples from members of the families to which Velociraptor and Troodon (possibly the brainiest dinosaur) belong.
"Small meat-eating dinosaur skeletons are exceedingly rare in many parts of the world and, if not for their teeth, would be almost completely unknown," said Larson.
The researchers say the huge increase in the number of small meat-eating species to 23, shows that instead of a few species existing for many millions of years, there were actually many small meat-eating species, each existing for shorter periods of time.
"We can identify what meat-eaters lived in what geographic area or geologic age," explained Currie. "And we can do this by identifying just their teeth, which are far more common than skeletons."
