The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea All of your favorite characters from The Little Mermaid continue their adventures in this enchanting sequel to one of the most celebrated animated films of all time. Even though her parents tell her merpeople and Atlantica are just "old fish tales," Ariel's daughter, Melody, dreams of being part of that magical world. In an unforgettable story that will take your breath away, all the good creatures on the land and under the sea must join forces to show Melody that both her worlds can live in perfect harmony.
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning One of Disney's most beloved characters reveals the extraordinary events that led up to her transformation into a princess! Long before Ariel walked on land and into Prince Eric's heart, she was one of seven beloved daughters of powerful King Triton. But times were troubled in the underwater kingdom – and music was banned! In this magical adventure, Ariel, her fun-loving sisters, and her loyal friends Sebastian and Flounder strive to bring music and friendship back to Atlantica. Featuring breathtaking animation – and some thrilling surprises – The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is an enchanting tale you'll share with your family again and again!
Ariel's Beginning includes more of Ariel's sisters, which my daughter immediately recognized because she has a set of them that she plays with in the bath tub.
Sebastion is our favorite character and is in both movies, but he's in charge of watching Ariel's daughter in The Little Mermaid II: Return To The Sea. We had a good time laughing at his antics in both movies.
There are other characters to keep you laughing in The Little Mermaid II. Tip and Dash kept my kids rolling.

Book Review: The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
20th January, 2016
The Grownup is a short story by Gillian Flynn published in the form of a book. It is a hybrid between a thriller and a horror story with amusing plot twists.
Even before we know her name, our narrator bombards us with her routine work schedule that leave her exhausted and force her to look for a second job. The story starts with her complaining that she is too tired working six days a week, eight hours a day. Being the best at the job adds to her workload, she says. So she quits her full time job. She starts working as a as a psychic reader making predictions of the future from her client's attire, mannerisms etc. And at the back end of her psychic reading tent she continues her old job of giving hand jobs (now with a more flexible schedule than 6 days x 8 hours!).
Her business thrives at both ends. She has one special gentleman who visits her often (of course, for the back end service) and lends her books. Thriving businesses add to greed, right? So she agrees to do some cleansing at a haunted Victorian house at the request of a young lady named Susan to rope in a few extra bucks. She dreams big money. Our heroine's life is perfect. Or is it? Bizarre happenings and Susan's creepy (VERY) stepson Miles enter the picture. Are things as simple as they seem to be?
The story bears resemblance to Gillian Flynn's writing style of suspense and a manipulative female lead. The story is fast paced and with each page you ask "Who is the Grown up?". I did not feel the horror said to be embossed in the story, but I was more fascinated by the characters in it. I wish it was a longer book. Nevertheless it is a good read.
The Grownup is a short story that first appeared under a different title, What Do You Do?, in an anthology put together by George R. R Martin.

One of my favorite short stories from last year. Wonderful review!
So it wasn't scary? I haven't picked it up because I don't want to be scared. I've enjoyed her other books.
I only read Gone Girl, but I ha to tell you that your picture is awesome!
This sounds like something that I would love to read! I've never read anything by Gillian Flynn before, so this might be a great place to start. Did you read the anthology put together by Martin?
I've never read anything by Gillian Flynn, but I can see how this could be an interesting read, what with all the twists and turns.
By the way, you always have the most gorgeous photos!
I just read this recently and there were a lot of twists! I wanted it to be longer as well, in hopes of figuring out some of those twists. Great Review!
Sounds intriguing. I really should read Gillian Flynn. I really enjoyed Gone Girl but never went on to try anything else of hers.
That's really interesting, how it was in an anthology that George R.R. Martin was involved with! Interesting book – I've only heard of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn!
Hmm, interesting. I didn't really like Gone Girl, but I keep thinking I should give Flynn another chance.
An interesting review, Susan. (It is Susan, isn't it?)
One question: How many books do you read, let's say in a week?
(I consider myself a heavy reader and on average I read a book a week)
(Puzzled emoticon)
Sounds like a good read. Also, beautifully arranged shot!

Read this book recently and loved it 🙂
I do need to read this one at some point!
I didn't even know this existed – thanks for letting me know!
I love your photography, especially this flatlay. The book sounds very intriguing, but I stay away from this brand of adult fiction where people are so weary and jaded by life – it just depresses me XD
Why do you have to make this book sound so interesting? I'm kidding, but thank you for feeding my TBR List. I was wondering what Flynn book to read after Gone Girl and this seems like a good one, although I don't think I will ever understand the drastic profession change.
Also.. I agree with aentee – your photography is wonderful! Truly.
Taking this on holiday with me and glad to see it's not as scary as the blurb says – that has been my only hesitation picking this up earlier. Thanks Resh fo putting my mind at ease.

Sting says he's not a good dad
Sting says he is not a good dad because of his musician lifestyle.
You'd think a guy like Sting would be a pretty rad dad, right? Not according to him.
The rocker says that his crazy musician lifestyle prevents him from being there for his six kids as often as he would like.
"I wouldn't say I'm a good dad," he told The Observer. "You know, I'm a traveling musician rather than a dad. But I take my job seriously and when they need to talk to me or need a shoulder to cry on, I'm definitely there for them."
"My family have sort of learned to deal with it -- they understand it's what Dad does. I get anxious being still. It's really a discipline to settle down."
Sting also says he is not a big fan of babies, but older kids are okay.
"And as they get older, their problems become more interesting. Young kids, I'm not that keen on, but as they get older you can actually talk to them, about relationships, about the meaning of life -- now that's fun."
Check out some of Sting's hot marriage secrets >>>
Speaking of that crazy travel schedule, Sting just popped into the iheartradio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday to perform Stand By Me and King of Pain with none other than Lady Gaga.
"Sting is one of my very favorite people in the world," Gaga said before the performance. "When I started in this business, I started to meet really amazing, incredible musicians, like real legends, but they're not always very nice. But Sting is one of the most kind and loving people I've ever met."
Catch Sting this fall on his Back to Bass tour of North American theaters in support of his box set Sting: 25 Years.

From Vanderbilt, Michigan, USA:
My 64 year old father, who has type 1 diabetes, recently had his second vascular by-pass surgery for his legs. He originally went in to have his big toe checked out. He let an ulcer go too far and has been diagnosed with gangrene in the big toe. Yesterday, the doctor told him he has a week for it to show improvement or they will have to amputate it. If they amputate, what can my father expect as far as what it will be like for him to walk? Do they have prosthetic toes?
As bad as it sounds, there is a tough choice here. On the one hand, it is terrible to lose any part of your body due to disease or trauma. On the other hand, when your father has a gangrenous toe, especially when it involves bone, the possibilities of healing it without spread of the infection and risk to structures farther up on the foot have to be weighed against the loss of function. If bone is involved, it is very very hard to cure it and the risks, especially if the area involved is large, are great.
There are many ways to rehabilitate. The most common includes special shoes and gait training with a physical therapist and the medical care team. Your father also needs very careful instructions about looking at his feet each day, taking even small sores as big risk, and having regular follow-up. Good care of the sugars will help with healing.

There were 1,300 people in my college freshman class, 45 of us black. I've lived in some mixed and mostly black neighborhoods since then, but it was there in college, surrounded by wealth and privilege, power and whiteness, that I witnessed the most people using drugs.
I don't remember any police raids. I don't remember flashing blue lights, people being led away in handcuffs, let alone anybody being sent to prison. We were in a no-arrest zone. Not so the weed smokers a few blocks away. It was open season on them because, as we all know, drugs are bad.
Drugs aren't as bad as the war the United States has declared on them. Most developed countries recognize drug abuse as a public health issue and emphasize treatment. But our country treats mere possession of drugs as a moral failing worthy of imprisonment. Consequently, the U.S. has imprisoned "a larger percentage of its black population than South Africa did at the height of apartheid," law professor Michelle Alexander writes. Those who return from prison are essentially second class citizens.
This is the point of Alexander's book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness." The war on drugs has greatly multiplied the number of black men sent to prison and then released them into a society that deprives them of meaningful opportunities to stay out. Those who've been convicted, sometimes for crimes that go ignored when committed by others, are often no better off than their grandfathers who couldn't vote or get decent jobs or housing, she says. Alexander, who teaches law at Ohio State University, will be giving Dillard University's Revius Ortique Lecture on Law and Society Wednesday at 7.
If you believe that sentences for drug offenders are too long, Alexander will say you don't fully appreciate the problem. Sentences are too long, she argues, but even those sentenced to probation for felonies wear a scarlet F the rest of their days.
"Today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you're labeled a felon," she writes, "the old forms of discrimination -- employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service -- are suddenly legal."
The United States, land of the free, is the world leader in incarceration. We make peace with that by telling ourselves that our system is colorblind. But there's no way a race neutral system could do what ours is doing. In New Orleans, 1 of every 7 black men is either in prison or on probation or parole. In Washington, D.C., Alexander notes, 75 percent of black men are expected to go to prison. In Chicago, "the total population of black males ... with a felony record (including both current and ex-felons) is equivalent to 55 percent of the black adult male population and an astonishing 80 percent of the adult black male workforce." Across Illinois, 90 percent of those imprisoned for drug crimes are black.
Alexander writes, "If 100 percent of the people arrested and convicted of drug offenses were African American, the situation would provoke outrage," but to our shame, she says, we tell ourselves that 90 percent can be logically and morally justified. It can't be.
Alexander blames Republican presidents for starting a drug war, but she blames Democrats for its escalation. She cites an observation from the Justice Policy Institute that Bill Clinton's "policies resulted in the largest increases in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history." Clinton fixed it so that a person convicted of marijuana possession could never get food stamps, she writes.
Clinton possessed marijuana, you'll remember. He didn't inhale, though. Barack Obama did, and his life would likely have been thrown off the rails with an arrest. And yet, Alexander writes, "Obama's budget for law enforcement is actually worse than the Bush administration's in terms of the ratio of dollars devoted to prevention and drug treatment as opposed to law enforcement." Better to be a hypocrite than perceived as soft on crime.
Alexander's book is tough to read. Nobody wants to believe that our country is participating in a human rights scandal this epic in scale. But it is happening on our watch. What are we going to do about it?

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey everyone, I'm Mibbster and I'm proud to release my first build, Corki, Team Clearer. Corki is an overlooked character, but he can be pretty devistating if build correctly. The build I have made for him is made for one thing: stopping team ganks with help from a tank. Corki has one ability that makes this possible: Galting Gun. This skill uses 25% or Corki's Attack Power at shread enemies in a cone around the front of him, and also shreading armor, making them easy targets for team members. To maximize Galting Gun's power, I gave Corki 21:0:9 in talents, which gives him more magic pen for clearing with his ultimate if needed. His runes increase your ability to use Galting Gun, with Cooldown Reduction, Mana, and Attack Damage. Here is a great way to play this build!
Early Game: Try to get in a line with a tank with a stun or pullback (Taric or Blitzcrank are great for this). This will maximize Galting Gun's potency. Use it to shread any champion that gets near you. If you need extra gold/exp, or you ahve many minions coming your way, feel free to use Galting Gun to clear them. If champions run from galting gun, use Valkyrie to catch up to them. If needed, use a Phosphorus Bomb to stop Melee DPSers.
Mid Game: Chat with your team to figure out where to go for max damage. Start using Galting Gun more sparingly against solo champions, as your basic attack should be doing nice damage by now. If needed, use Valkyrie to flee from champions. If they are unexpirenced fighting against Corki, they will run into the bombs, giving you an easy kill. Your ultimate should be used to clear 2+ champions are high ammounts of minions. Only use Galting Gun in situations with 12+ minions or 2+ champions.
End Game: If you get to level 18 as Corki, you can easily start to demolish attampted ganks, and lead your own. Galting Corki is great to push with at endgame, because he can decimate anything in his path. Use Rally to take down turrets and inhibitors.

(OTC Pink: VSTI) is celebrating 25 years of successful workflow automation in healthcare and the debut of several advancements in its Real-time Locating System (RTLS) at the annual Health Information Management Systems Society conference (HIMSS14), February 24-27, 2014 in Orlando, Fla.
Healthcare executives at HIMSS will be seeking out ways to improve operations as they struggle with increased patient volumes brought on by the Affordable Care Act. Coupled with the HITECH Act requirements for electronic documentation, recent CMS reimbursement changes, and the upcoming switch to ICD-10, the burden on healthcare staff has never been greater. Information technology systems such as RTLS that can automate workflows, reduce data entry and accurately document performance metrics are in high demand.
While providing real-time efficiency in the moment, Versus automatically collects accurate, unbiased data to drive meaningful process improvement. Version 5.0 of the company's advanced reporting software, Reports Plus™ Analytics, will be unveiled at HIMSS14. The blockbuster upgrade features several new reports specifically focused on daily healthcare problems -- workflow efficiency, capacity management, safety, and resource allocation. These reports, developed hand-in-hand with healthcare administrators and clinicians, offer unprecedented insight into facility workflows, trends and benchmark achievement.
The new reporting package can be seen at the Versus booth, #3673, where new options for non-invasive RTLS installation will also be on display, including a new, soon to be released Wi-Fi option. Versus' multiple mix-and-match platforms allow facilities to quickly and easily add locations to their existing RTLS, or plan for future expansions.
The platforms all work with the same Versus badges and tags, including a new mini asset tag and soon to be released patient wrist badge. Each platform can drive workflow automation with same IR accuracy Versus is known for.
That accuracy and automation will be on display in Booth #3673 at Versus' new RTLS Experience Center, a live environment with active technology driving real-time demonstrations. Participants will learn how automated patient flow, hand hygiene monitoring, integrations and reporting analytics can improve healthcare efficiency and quality, ultimately increasing profitability.
Versus is also hosting several education sessions and a cocktail reception at their booth:
The SafeHaven™ system, combining Georgia-Pacific Professional smart dispensers and skin care products with Versus RTLS technology and Advantages™ Hand Hygiene Safety software, helps hospitals monitor, measure and manage hand hygiene participation. The SafeHaven™ system will also be on display at Booth #3673 during all exhibit hours; live demonstrations can be seen as part of Versus' RTLS Experience Center.
Conference-goers interested in real-world RTLS implementations should plan to attend two HIMSS Education Sessions presented by Versus clients.
In session #51, "Beyond Patient Tracking: Enhancing Safety & Quality Initiatives with RTLS," presenters Brenda Clements, Manager of Nursing Services at EMMC Cancer Care, and Jeffery D. O'Neal, System Director for Behavioral and Occupational Health Services at Western Maryland Health System, will share how they use RTLS to automate safety- and quality-related tasks.
Patrice Lavoie, a Senior Business Analyst for Sentara Healthcare's Medical Systems Applications Team, is presenting Session #209, "Anatomy of an RTLS/RFID Selection Process." Lavoie will share lessons learned during two pilots of different RTLS technologies.

Stay tuned to the lastest news and events from Equine Motorcoach™. Visit this page to find out where we will be displaying our transports and trailers on the road and at horse shows. We give horses a ride.
The Latest
New Equine Carriage ST Rolled Out by Equine Motorcoach
For Immediate Release
New Equine Carriage ST Rolled Out by Equine Motorcoach
Horse Transport Company Continues to Respond to Equine Market Needs as the Market Leader
(Louisville, Ky.) - January 14, 2013 - Equine Motorcoach™, the all in one RV and horse transport company, designed and manufactured a new horse transport vehicle to respond to the needs of show competitors and enthusiasts who are traveling with their horses.
The first Equine Carriage™ ST rolled off the manufacturing line last week as part of the tow vehicle and transport line the company is growing. The tow vehicle is built on a 2013 Freightliner M2 106 350 hp Cummins with an Allison automatic transmission. The interior features a full shower, bath and kitchen area along with ample living and a high-end entertainment system.
Two six-foot slide outs include a sofa and another sofa that covert into beds. This configuration gives customers the option of seat belting a total of eight people while traveling.
A companion 5th wheel hitch with 2 5/16" ball and Class 5 tag hitch make the towing options the most versatile of any tow vehicle. The Equine Carriage ST can transport a gooseneck trailer, 5th wheel or bumper pull trailer. A rear camera assists with back up via an in cab monitor.
A front cap is aerodynamic and the cab is outfitted with captain chairs that make long distance driving more comfortable. Cabinetry is a cherry wood with cherry stain and high gloss finish. The flooring is porcelain tile for a luxurious look, durability and easy cleaning.
The vehicle is totally climate controlled and has a rear door for entrance and exit by the bathroom and shower, a must for the horse show. A 6,000 watt Cummins Onan generator, 50 gallon fresh water tank and 75 gallon holding tank provide for more independence on the road.
Principals with Equine Motorcoach have spent the last five years showcasing its product at horse shows throughout the United States.
"There is no substitute for being in the field listening and seeing what horse people want and need when they transport their horses," said Tom Stinnett, designer and principal for Equine Motorcoach. "We have visited with thousands of people at horse shows that represent just about all of the disciplines and breeds. They continue to help us grow our line of vehicles that are geared to transporting horses in comfort as well as providing all of the comforts of home for the human cargo."
The time on the road has afforded the team the opportunity to view a wide variety of existing horse trailers, trucks and transports that are used in the equine business. "Interest and sales in the Equine Motorcoach are brisk, but there was still room to grow," said Stinnett. "Many have made significant investments in horse trailers with living quarters and want to stay with that model of transport."
"We developed another way to do that with our Equine Carriage™ ST," continued Stinnett.
Equine Motorcoach and Equine Carriage ST are based at Stinnett RV in Clarksville, Indiana. The Equine Carriage will be showcased at the Louisville RV, Boat and Sport Show, January 23- 27 and plans are underway for both units to be back on the road at horse shows beginning in mid-February.

Germany - Fossil of the Year 2009 - Juravenator Starki: Dressed for Hunting
By Nando Musmarra and Dean R. Lomax
PaleoArt by Nobumichi Tamura & Mo Hassan
The holotype specimen of Juravenator starki is housed in the Eichstätt Jura Museum, the same repository where Archaeopteryx no.5 shows his feathers. To date, J. starki is one of the best and most complete theropod dinosaurs ever discovered in Europe.
Due to the exquisite fossilisation of this small dinosaur, the 1.000 members of the German Paleontology Society (Paläontologischen Gesellschaft) chose this juvenile coelurosaur (or 'raptor') as the well deserved winner for the 2009 "Fossil of the Year" award. Juravenator was a worthy successor over the German Parapuzosia seppenradensis, the biggest ammonite ever found.
Eichstätt Jura Museum - The co-author Dean Lomax is working at Archaeopteryx no. 5 (original specimen) before 2009 Munich show - www.paleocritti.com
Actually, this small predator was found during the last century. In 1998, Klaus-Dieter Weiß and Hans Weiß, two brothers and amateur palaeontologists were volunteering for the Eichstätt Jura-Museum. They were part of a team that was conducting scientific excavations in a Solnhofen plattenkalk west of Schamhaupten (South Germany), this quarry belonged to the Stark family. During this excavation, both of the Weiß brothers made a sensational discovery in a limestone slab; here the slab contained a small theropod dinosaur skull.
The dinosaur discovery was a well-kept secret for several years. The slab that contained the skull was highly silicified, and needed careful preparation to unlock this fossils mystery. At first the specimen was placed under X-ray and CAT-Scan, in order to find the rest of the animal's body, the results were disappointing; nothing was detected, assuming the dinosaur's remaining skeleton was lost forever. After 5 years spent searching for a new preparation technique, the new Jura Museum director decided to proceed with preparing the specimen in a more traditional way, assigning the big slab to be prepared by the expert preparator Pino Völkl-Costantini (now at Solnhofen Bürgermeister Müller Museum).
3 years and 700 hours of fossil preparation later…Pino, paying close attention to preserving even the smallest details, quite literally pulled out of the slab a wonderful and most perfectly preserved, fully articulated theropod dinosaur. Pino's careful preparatory work was extremely useful. The preparation of this specimen not only revived this dinosaur from its tomb, but enabled its first scientific description1 by palaeontologists Ursula Göhlich (at that time at Paläontologisches Museum in Munich, now at the Natural History Museum in Wien) and Luis Chiappe (Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County) in 2006.

Juravenator possessed a very long tail and was in the size range of a goose (70-75 cm.). It has been established this specimen was a juvenile when it died. The small raptor was a bipedal carnivore, and likely an active hunter with powerful claws for holding its prey. This "Jurassic hunter" was finally introduced to the public as Juravenator starki. The meaning of the name: Jura after the Jura Alps where the Jurassic stage was first identified by Alexander Brongniart; venator, in Latin, meaning hunter, and finally starki after the Stark family, owners of the Stark Quarry. He was nicknamed Borsti (a German word for bristle haired dogs).
Juravenator lived around 150 million years ago in the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian, Painten Formation); this area was once an archipelago composed of small islands with a shallow warm tropical sea. As an adult, Juravenator would have been larger than the slighter older Archaeopteryx. Its diet would probably have composed of lizards, insects, and perhaps even Archaeopteryx 'chicks'.
Some of the fossils found in the Solnhofen limestones do not belong to organisms that live in the coral reef or in the Tethys Ocean, but are rather those who inhabited the nearby small islands. In all likelihood, Juravenator was probably transported into the lagoonal environment through the process of violent storms or turbidity currents. After such an event the muddy sediments would slowly begin to build up on top of Juravenator, thus burying but protecting the dinosaur for the process of fossilization. The result is an extraordinary state of preservation7.
Solnhofen scene before Juravenator's discovery: Compsognathus, Archaeopteryx and Rhamphorhynchus - PaleoArt by Mo Hassan
Juravenator , together with Compsognathus and the recently discovered Xaveropterus are the only known non-avian theropod dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen lithographic limestones. J. starki is exquisitely preserved and nearly complete from the snout to the tail (missing only few caudal (tail) vertebrae at the end of the tail); it was considered to belong to the family Compsognathidae. The surprising lack of protofeathers and the presence of large and well preserved soft tissues along the legs, tail and part of the hips show unmistakable similarity seen in the scales of primitive theropods and unfeathered dinosaurs1. This probably caused Göhlich and Chiappe major headaches when trying to identify this animal's origins.
Later in 20062, Göhlich, Tischlinger and Chiappe published a complementary paper reporting several faded impressions of some kind of filament along the tail2. The debate amongst scientists was fierce. Palaeontologist Xu Xing doubted the compsognathid origin of Juravenator based upon the scales preserved along the tail (nevertheless Xu offered Chiappe and Göhlich a way out). Xu suggested the presence of scales on the tail could show the feather coat of early feathered dinosaurs was far more variable than seen in modern birds3. Xu was followed by Butler et al. (2007) who inferred that Juravenator was not a compsognathid, but rather a basal member belonging to Maniraptora4 (a clade including dinosaurs such as Velociraptor).
Juravenator reconstruction with protofeathers - PaleoArt by Nobumichi Tamura
Using the same ultraviolet light technique developed early in 2010 by Hone et al.5, Chiappe and Göhlich finally uncovered soft tissues with thin protofeathers of Juravenator. It was clear there was a definite similarity with those covering the Chinese dinosaur Sinosauropteryx. The simultaneous presence of both scales and protofeathers covering a small part of the Juravenator body may indicate feathers appeared on certain parts of dinosaur's bodies before others. Chiappe and Göhlich finally provided a complete and detailed study of Juravenator's morphology and osteology, concluding that Juravenator was similar to Compsognathus than to other groups. In comparison with Compsognathus, Juravenator has numerous unique morphologies and bone proportions that distinguish the two taxa6.
Juravenator starki adds new light to the poor record of small-bodied, Late Jurassic theropods. The skull and skin details are poorly understood in other basal coelurosaurian theropods. Thus such exquisitely preserved specimens as Juravenator contribute significantly in understanding the evolution of this clade.
Tired by words? Let's look at snout-to-tail pictures
The skull of Juravenator is characterized in having few maxillary teeth and lack of a premaxillary-maxillary diastema. The scleral rings of Juravenator show similarities with nocturnal birds, suggesting that perhaps Juravenator may have hunted at night - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Close up of the beautifully preserved and serrated maxillary recurved teeth - Photos by Nando Musmarra
Note the extremely thin and stiffened cervical ribs along the neck vertebrae (characteristic of all compsognathidae). These cervical ribs reinforced the neck, and enabled a greater motion of flexibility in the neck of Juravenator - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Juravenator pectoral (chest) region: 1) Clavicles (fused to form a furcula) - 2) Upper arm (humerus) - 3) Scapula: note the elongate scapula and a proportionally shorter humerus - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Juravenator gastralia (belly ribs) - Gastralia seen in Juravenator is nicely preserved; the gastralia supported the stomach of the animal. The highlighted section shows part of the respiratory muscles like those of living reptiles. Also, note the beautiful detail of the claw - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Hand claws: Juravenator like most theropods had three powerful fingers, reinforced by sharp claws. In the edited photo, the colour contrast and high saturation allows clear visualisation of the sharp claws of Juravenator - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Upper photo: Few inches from the foot of Juravenator, lays an aptychus (jaw apparatus) of an ammonite, demonstrating the marine environment surrounding the archipelago - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Lower photo: Juravenator foot has four toes. Only three of those reached the ground when walking. The inner toe possesses a strong, long and sharp claw. The claws of Juravenator were able to move up and down; movements in other directions were restricted by the structure of the foot - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Several features of Juravenator indicate this specimen was an immature individual. The neural spines of the tail vertebrae were not fully formed (indicated by the lack of sutures). Coupled with the proportionally large skull and big eyes, and the incomplete ossified surfaces of multiple bones indicate that Juravenator was young when it died - Photo by Nando Musmarra
The rounded dermal scales preserved along the tail vertebrae hint at a basal coelurosaurian skin structure - Photo by Nando Musmarra
Under UV light: some faded tiny filamentous integumentary structures (in red) were interpreted by Chiappe and Göhlich as protofeathers (Eichstätt Jura Museum).

FORT LAUDERDALE — A North Lauderdale man made his first appearance in federal court Monday to face charges of armed carjacking.
It wasn't the first time Lawrence Rice, 26, has been in trouble for allegedly stealing a car. Rice was on pre-trial release facing carjacking and aggravated battery charges from a 2011 Lauderhill case when, early last Friday morning, he was accused of striking again.
According to an arrest report, Rice approached the occupants of a 2010 Nissan Altima in the 500 block of North Birch Road in Fort Lauderdale about 2 a.m. Friday, pointed a gun at their faces and ordered them out of the vehicle.
The victims, both women, surrendered their cash and some of their jewelry, but one of the victims tried to hide a ring that was on her finger. According to the report, Rice walked over to the woman and kicked her in the face. It was unclear from the report whether the victim parted with the ring.
Rice fled in the Nissan when a male friend of the victims came out of his home and saw the robbery taking place, according to the arrest report.
Fort Lauderdale police arrested Rice on nearby Cortez Street after the Nissan sped and crashed into a utility pole.
Rice already faces 45 years in state prison if convicted of the November 2011 alleged carjacking and battery, which did not involve a weapon, according to the charges filed. The federal charges carry a possible 22-year prison term, according to the United States Code.

How to Replace Ball Joints
Do you know how to replace ball joints? Hmm, you say! Why should I? Well, let us start with the basics: suspension parts wear out. We all have our share of experience!
Now, what's upsetting is that an annoying clicking sound Monday morning escalates to a thump Tuesday afternoon. And it's then when you know that there is most likely a problem with your car's ball joints.
More often than not, ball joints dry out. For crying out loud, you yell! The ball joints of my car are lubricated for life!!! Surprise! Surprise!
No matter what the manual says, ball joints DO go bad. And when they do, the solution is simple: replacement. And at this point, you simply have to learn how to replace ball joints or get the car to the mechanic.
Image via https://grassrootsmotorsports.com
Why ball joints go bad?
But hold on a sec! Ball joints don't go bad only due to lubrication failure. Don't forget that they are made up of bearings, a housing and ball stud, an end cover, and a spring or Belleville washer.
Any of these parts might break or corrode. On top of that, ball joints support the car's weight and pivot at several angles. So, they do wear. And then, there are ball joints and there are ball joints. Their quality and type both vary.
One more thing: in spite of the presence of the end cover, debris can still find its way in causing damage. (Surprise! Surprise! Once more)
- Do you hear a banging noise?
- Having trouble keeping the wheel straight?
- Do you feel intense vibrations when driving?
- Is one of the tires worn faster than the rest?
If you do, you must replace the ball joints.
Why should you learn how to replace ball joints?
The ball joints replacement cost varies based on the car's make, year, and model. But the job doesn't come cheap. An average price for the replacement of only one ball joint would translate to a couple of hundred dollars.
BUT… when one ball joint is damaged, chances are that the rest will wear soon too. And since you don't want to go through the same hassle of banging sounds, inconvenience during driving, feeling unsafe and these sort of things, it's best to replace them all. And this will cost more.
With that said, let me just point out that replacing ball joints is not easy. If you are not a handyman or anywhere close to knowing the difference between ball joints and eggs, it's best to trust a pro. After all, if the job is not done right, driving won't be safe.
Now, if you know your way around cars, you can easily follow our instructions on how to replace ball joints.
One thing is certain: if ball joints are somehow damaged, they must be replaced or your safety will be questioned, especially at high speeds.

First things first: what to do before you replace the ball joints
Gather the tools you will need. These would include:
- A jack to lift the car and jack stands
- A rock, brick or any other item you find handy to place behind the tires and keep the car from sliding – that won't be nice
- Lubricants to loosen up the bolts, especially if they are corroded
- The right wrenches to remove the fasteners
- New fasteners (bolts and nuts), gaskets, etc., etc., etc. (in other words, replace all components)
- A drill for the rivets – if it's necessary for your vehicle
- A hammer & pickle fork to help you pop the ball joints
- You might also need a wire to hang the brakes
- A grease pump
- A castellated nut
Get ready
Now that you have all the tools gathered, prepare the working area. Make sure the surface the car is parked on is flat and block both rear and front tires. Then jack the car and place the jack stands.
How to make sure the ball joints must be replaced
With the car lifted, it's time to check the ball joints and see if they are really damaged. If the suspension system of your car utilizes a control arm, shake it to see if there is a wheel play.
If this is a strut suspension, shake the car and use a pry bar to see if there is a wheel play. If there is a wheel play or space between the ball joints and the contact point, they should be replaced.
How to replace ball joints
Assuming you have bought the new ball joints for your car, start by removing the existing ball joints.
- First of all, remove the wheel. This will allow you to have access to the ball joint. If the brakes stand in your way, hang them by using the wire. To create more space and work with ease, loosen the control arm.
- Now, the next step is to remove the ball joints. But they are often corroded, dirty, and stiff and so it will be hard for you to loosen them up. That's where the lubricant comes in. Spray some WD-40 to remove the ball joints easier.
- Once you remove the bolts with the wrench, you can use the pickle fork to bang out the upper ball joints and a hammer to remove the lower ball joints.
- Remove the slotted nut and cotter pin with a socket wrench and then pop the ball joints off by pressing the pickle fork on the hammer.
Some suggestions when removing the old ball joints:
- If some parts are corroded, they are removed easier if you use some heat. But be extra careful with that. You want to torch the components off and not burn yourself.
- If your car has pressed-in ball joints, you can't avoid the visit to the mechanic. Pros have this special tool, called the hydraulic press, which is used to remove and install these types of ball joints.
- Don't be afraid to put some force when you try to remove the components. They are often very stiff due to the accumulated dirt, lack of lubes, and corrosion. Don't worry if any of the components, like the rubber gasket, breaks. It's best to replace them all anyway.
- Be careful when you remove the ball joints. You don't want them landing on your feet. It's helpful to use a castellated nut.
Second phase: ball joints installation
Here we are at the last and most important stage of the ball joints replacement task. It's time to install the new ones. So, let's get started:
- Place the new rubber gasket over the stud and put the new ball joint through the knuckle hole. Then bolt the ball joint.
- Now you have to torque the bolts but must follow the instructions of your manual down to the last detail as far as numbers are concerned. You will need a torque wrench for that and a castellated nut will also help you. If you have a McPherson strut, you will need to install a pinch bolt.
- Place the grease fitting.
- Pump grease.
Don't forget two major things:
- Once the ball joints replacement is completed, it's best to align the car.
- Since the brakes are most likely hanging, bleed them. If there is a problem with them, this is a good opportunity for you to find out.
One last advice: although ball joints installation is relatively easy, the job becomes easier if you install first the upper ones and then continue with the installation of the lower ball joints.
Let us elaborate a bit further:
- To install the upper ball joint, make sure the area around the upper control arm is clean before you place the ball joint. It's vital to pay attention to the rubber gasket. You don't want it pinched by the control arm hole or it will be ruined allowing dirt to enter into the grease. Tighten the nut to secure the bolt, then align it and tighten the bolts and washers with the wrench. Lastly, install the cotter pin.
- To install the lower ball joint, bend it about 90 degrees. This will help you put it in the geared hub hole easier. This should be under the lower control arm. Once you align the holes, place the washers, bolts, and nuts and tighten them.
Don't forget to grease the ball joints. If there is no problem with the brakes, put them back and then take the tires and put them back too. Only then, you can align the car.
All done, folks!
It wasn't so hard, now! Was it? Learning how to replace ball joints might not come easy for those who know little about cars. But it's a process you can easily learn so you can save some money.
The key to succeeding is to have the right tools all gathered around you and some time to spare. Not that it takes very long to replace the ball joints, but you don't want to rush with such tasks. For your safety's sake!
With that said, let us just say once more that if you don't feel comfortable doing this job, simply don't. Don't risk your safety. On the other hand, if you are up to it, we just hope our how to replace ball joints instructions were clear and helpful.

Two weeks ago, I talked about reducing risk by leaning toward revenue beaters. Today, with a meager 37% of corporations surpassing expected sales targets, investors appear nervous about the possibility that companies will lose their footing on "Revenue Mountain."
Disappointing earnings reports, year-over-year revenue declines and uninspiring growth projections are not the only reasons for the selling pressure, however. Obama appeared to be a lock in September. Now, many wonder about the prospect of county-by-county recounts in Ohio during the first few weeks of November.
And that's not all.
Spain's borrowing costs jumped back into fretful territory as ratings agencies once again discussed downgrades. Speculation about Bernanke exiting the Federal Reserve regardless of who wins the presidency made the rounds. And most importantly, there has been precious little evidence that fiscal cliff fears will be resolved in a bipartisan, "cool heads will prevail" manner.
Interestingly enough, though, the three ETF categories that I recently highlighted for standing tall in the face of fiscal cliff concerns demonstrated relative safety on the 240-point Dow Industrials sell-off (10/23/12). Those categories included: (a) Assets with historically wide spreads with comparable treasuries, (b) Assets that offer positive real returns after inflation, and (c) Asia-Pacific ETFs that tap into a stabilizing economic situation in and around the region.
|Safer ETF Investments… At Least In A Relative Sense
|10/23 % Decline
|Vanguard Intermediate Corporate (NASDAQ:VCIT)
|Market Vectors Latin America Bond (BONO)
|iShares S&P Preferred (NYSEARCA:PFF)
|SPDR Barclay High Yield Bond (NYSEARCA:JNK)
|PowerShares Emerging Market Sovereign (NYSE:PCY)
|iShares MSCI New Zealand (NYSEARCA:ENZL)
|iShares MSCI Hong Kong (NYSEARCA:EWH)
|iShares MSCI Philippines (NYSEARCA:EPHE)
|First Trust Dividend Leaders (NYSEARCA:FDL)
The above-mentioned ETFs — and the three categories described earlier — provide a combination of income, relative safety and opportunistic growth. In truth, circumstances aren't likely to change enough in the near-term to warrant additional risk taking.
Some are predicting that disaster is about to unfold. Perhaps. Yet you don't want to become a panicky seller, nor do you want to listen to the doomsayers who have been whistling the same monotonous tune throughout the year. (For that matter… gloom-n-doomers have predicted the demise of market-based securities in every month and in every year in the new century!)
Here is one way to tune out the cacophony of perma-bears as well as perma-bulls. Employ a trustworthy benchmark like the S&P 500. If the index closes below its 200-day moving average, sell a portion of your growth-oriented assets. And if you're genuinely concerned that the corrective phase is turning into a systemic, 2008-style collapse, use a tight stop-limit loss order on the remainder of your riskier ETF holdings. That's it!

Don't fret the price movement of your intermediate bond holdings at this stage. Corporations are sitting on more cash than in the history of their existence, making Vanguard Intermediate Corporate Bond (VCIT) safe. Meanwhile, emerging market countries have a far better debt-to-GDP ratio than their counterparts in the developed world. That makes the dollar-denominated PowerShares Emerging Market Sovereign Debt (PCY) a safer haven, too.

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the lower chest that's most often related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Treatment may depend on the cause of your heartburn. In most cases, heartburn can be treated with medications, lifestyle changes or surgery.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Causes of Heartburn
Stomach acid that moves up into the esophagus causes heartburn. A muscle at the top of the stomach allows food to enter the stomach. This muscle also closes to prevent food and acid from moving back up into the esophagus. Certain conditions can keep this muscle from closing completely, which allows acid to flow out and cause heartburn.
Are You at Risk?
Factors that increase your chance of heartburn include:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Exercising or strenuous activity immediately after eating
- Lying down, bending over or straining after eating
- Pregnancy
- Prior surgery for heartburn such as vagotomy
- Diabetes
- Scleroderma
- Certain nervous system disorders
- In-dwelling nasogastric tube
Foods and beverages associated with heartburn include:
- Alcohol, especially in excess
- Caffeine drinks, such as coffee or carbonated soft drinks
- Citrus fruits
- Chocolate
- Fried foods
- Spicy foods
- Foods made with tomatoes, such as pizza, chili or spaghetti sauce
Medications and supplements associated with heartburn include:
- Anticholinergics
- Calcium channel blockers
- Theophylline, bronchial inhalers and other asthma medications
- Nitrates
- Sildenafil
- Bisphosphonates
Heartburn Symptoms
Heartburn symptoms usually occur after overeating or lying down after a big meal. The symptoms may last for a few minutes or a few hours.
Common heartburn symptoms may include:
- Burning feeling that starts in the lower chest and moves up the throat
- Feeling that food is coming back up
- Sour or bitter taste in the throat
Other symptoms and complications of reflux include:
- Sore throat
- Hoarseness
- Chronic cough
- Feeling of a lump in the throat
- Asthma
- Waking up with a sensation of choking
- Difficulty swallowing
If reflux persists, the acid can damage the esophagus. Symptoms of esophageal damage include:
- Bleeding and ulcers in the esophagus
- Vomiting blood
- Black or tarry stools
- Inflammation and scarring of the esophagus
- Barrett's esophagus — precancerous condition that can lead to esophageal cancer
- Dental problems, which may occur because of the effect of stomach acid on tooth enamel
When Should I Call for Immediate Medical Help?
Heartburn and chest pain due to a heart attack can feel similar. Get medical help right away if you have:
- Squeezing or chest pressure
- Pain in the left shoulder, left arm or jaw
- Trouble breathing
- Sweating, clammy skin
- Nausea
- Weakness
- Lightheadedness
- Pain that starts during activity or stress
If you're not sure of the cause of any pain in your chest, call for emergency help right away.
Diagnosing Heartburn
Your doctor may be able to make a diagnosis based on your symptoms. Your doctor may also take images of your esophagus or stomach with an upper GI series. A sample of your esophagus may be taken and sent for examination. This is often done during an endoscopy.
Other tests may include:
- 24-hour pH (acid) monitoring
- Manometry to test muscle strength in the lower esophagus
Heartburn Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of your heartburn and may focus on prevention or repairing damage that causes heartburn.
Lifestyle Changes
To help decrease the occurrence of heartburn:
- Keep a food diary and record your body's reaction to certain foods.
- Avoid foods that trigger heartburn symptoms.
- Eat smaller portions.
- Allow at least 2-3 hours between meals and lying down and exercise.
- Lose weight.
- Quit smoking.
- Avoid belts and clothing that are too tight. This may increase pressure on the abdomen.
- Elevate head of bed 6-8 inches.
Medication may help relieve symptoms and repair any damage to the esophagus. Many prescription heartburn medications are available over-the-counter. Your doctor may recommend the following.
- Proton-pump inhibitors block acid production in the stomach
- H-2 blockers decrease the amount of acid secreted by the stomach
- Antacids neutralize stomach acid
Surgery may be an option if symptoms are severe and you cannot tolerate medication. The most common surgery for heartburn is fundoplication. Your doctor wraps the stomach around the esophagus and creates pressure on the muscle at the opening to the stomach.
Endoscopic Procedures
Endoscopic techniques do not involve incisions in the skin. Instead, your doctor inserts a lighted device called an endoscope through your mouth and down the esophagus. Your doctor can perform a variety of procedures with this scope to decrease the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus.
If surgery or endoscopy is successful, you may no longer need heartburn medication.
Speak with your doctor to get a referral. If you don't have a primary care doctor, we can help you find one. Call us at 434.243.3675.

From Salt Lake City, Utah, USA:
My four and a half-year-old son has been having several weeks of increased urination and thirst. A urine dipstick on a first morning urine revealed some glucose (50) without ketones. His fasting blood sugar was 75 mg/dl [4.2 mmol/L] and his A1c was 5.1. His doctor could not give an explanation for the sugar in the urine but felt like we had safely ruled out diabetes. However, I am to call if I see an increase in symptoms. Is diabetes safely ruled out at this point or do I need to monitor anything with him?
While the possibility of diabetes mellitus has not been entirely excluded, it has been nicely screened for and is probably not the cause of the symptoms and laboratory test you described.
How was the fasting glucose determined? Was it by a "fingerstick" with a portable glucose monitor? In the situation you describe, I probably would want a genuine venipuncture blood test. I might even want what I call a "poor man's glucose tolerance test." (This is NOT a true oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT], but is in the same ballpark for a lot less money.) Get the venipuncture blood test fasting at 8 a.m.. Then, go to your local pancake house (or at home) and have the child load up on a carbobohydrate-rich breakfast of juice, pancakes or waffles or french toast with syrup or jam, etc., chocolate milk, etc. At 10 a.m. (or two hours from when the first morsel of breakfast crossed his lips) do another venipuncture blood glucose test. If this two hour glucose level is also normal, I think you have given a real college try to demonstrate diabetes. Certainly, a formal, properly performed OGTT can be done, but these are often done incorrectly so I do not usually request primary care providers to perform them.
Other factors that come into play: is there a family history of diabetes or other autoimmune disease? Does the child receive medications? Is he growing and thriving otherwise?
There is another, essentially benign condition whereby the kidneys aren't reabsorbing some sugar during urine processing. This sugar in the urine is "mistaken" for glucose during routine urine "dipstick" tests. There are other intrinsic and concerning kidney diseases that can lead to "spilling of glucose into the urine." They are associated with normal blood glucose and thus are not diabetes related, but they can be associated with increased urination and thirst. Such issues may be assessed by a pediatric nephrologist (kidney specialist).
I think your pediatrician will want to follow up. Please let us know.

After 19 months of campaigning as the sole focus of attention, the moment was a telling one for Obama, who is learning to share the spotlight—for better and for worse—with a man whose personality is almost polar opposite of his own.
Historians like to say that chemistry between a candidate and his running mate is of little importance - ultimately the public is electing the nominee, not his sidekick. Certainly recent history is littered with successful tickets that were not exactly in love with one another: Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson come to mind. But the last two vice presidents, Gore and Cheney, have changed the way the public views the office by elevating the importance of the role — and, in the process, of the rapport between the two highest office holders in the land.

The Big Bang didn't need God to set it off, says Stephen Hawking
- Quantum theory and general relativity combined could best explain the beginning of the Universe, Stephen Hawking tells audience at Caltech
- Eager science fans began queuing 12 hours before the start of the lecture for a chance to see him in person
The Big Bang and the subsequent expansion of the Universe did not need God to set it off, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking suggested to an audience in California this week.
A combination of quantum theory and the theory of relativity would a better explain our existence than divine intervention, he told a packed auditorium at the California Institute of Technology.
And he suggested that turning to the dark side could illuminate fundamental questions about how the Universe began.
Scroll down for video
No need for God: Stephen Hawking, pictured at an earlier event in California this month, drew thousands of science fans to hear him speak on the origins of the Universe at the California Institute of Technology
'The missing link in cosmology is the nature of dark matter and dark energy,' the LA Times reported Hawking as saying.
Easily the world's most famous theoretical physicist - perhaps the only one the most people can name - Hawking more then filled the 1,100-capacity auditorium laid on by Caltech for the event.
Queues to hear the Brief History Of Time author started forming a 8am, 12 hours before his talk was scheduled to begin, the LA Times reported.
By 6pm, those eager to see him in person stood in a line a quarter-of-a-mile long, according to Space.com, and still many were forced to sit in an overflow space.
And when that was filled, a thousand more say on a lawn outside the lecture theatre which had been equipped with a big screen and sound system, in a manner after Wimbledon's Henman hill.
In a wide ranging talk, the former Cambridge professor recapped various theories of the beginning of the Universe, caricaturing the religious position with the myth of an African tribe whose god vomited the Sun, Moon and stars.
He also discussed theories which suggest that existence in fact had no beginning, and claimed that Edwin Hubble's observations of an expanding Universe and Einstein's theory of relativity had disproved those.
Best seller: Hawking's 1988 book A Brief History of Time spent a record-breaking 237 weeks in the Sunday Times UK best-sellers list
He also had time for a few jokes, one of which paraphrased Martin Luther's response to a young man who dared to ask what God was doing before he made the world.
'If one believed that the universe had a beginning, the obvious question was what happened before the beginning?' he asked.
'What was God doing before He made the world? Was He preparing Hell for people who asked such questions?'
Attempting what could be seen as a kind of Copernican Revolution in cosmology, Hawking tried to explain his point of view that such questions were nonsensical.
'The problem of what happens at the beginning of time is a bit like the question of what happened at the edge of the world, when people thought the world was flat,' he said.
He suggested that the idea of time running in only one direction 'like a model railway track' was misconceived and that combining of general relativity and quantum theory can allow time to act just like another direction in space.
'This means one can get rid of the problem of time having a beginning, in a similar way in which we got rid of the edge of the world,' he said.
Hawking asked his audience to imagine the beginning of the Universe is like the South Pole, with the role of time being played by degrees of latitude.
Just as asking what is south of the South Pole makes no sense, he argued, to asking what happened before the beginning of the Universe would become a meaningless question.
'What was God doing before He made the world? Was He preparing Hell for people who asked such questions?'
Stephen Hawking at Caltech
Moreover, conceiving of the Universe in this way also removes 'age-old objections' to the idea that the Universe had a beginning; that it would be a place where the normal laws of physics could not hold.
Instead, Hawking claimed, the beginning of the Universe could be governed by laws of science, which justifies a picture he and fellow physicist Jim Hartle developed as like the formation of bubbles of steam in boiling water.
This claims that the most probably history of the Universe is like the surface of such bubbles, a few of which grow to such a size that they are safe from collapsing.
'They will correspond to universes that would start off expanding at an ever increasing rate' like the expanding Universe we live in, he said.
The wonders of space: A picture from the Hubble Space Telescope. Hawking said the observations of an expanding galaxy made by the astronomer after which the telescope is made refuted the idea the universe had no beginning
Quantum theory could best understand how the state of the Universe at the initial point of its formation gave rise to the Universe we live in today 13.5billion years after the Big Bang, Hawking claimed.
He said: 'General relativity on its own cannot answer the central question in cosmology: Why is the universe the way it is?
'However, if general relativity is combined with quantum theory, it may be possible to predict how the universe would start.'
Small fluctuations in the initial state of the Universe would lead to the formation of 'galaxies, stars, and all the other structure in the universe,' he said.
His theory could be tested when science develops the ability to detect gravitational waves by accurately measuring the distance between spacecraft.
These waves, he said, originated in the earliest times of the universe and have not been altered by their interactions by 'intervening material'.
Hawking, now 71, has been battling degenerative motor-neurone disease related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, for more than 50 years.
His works of popular science have acheived great success, despite the arcane nature of the cosmology he investigates. A Brief History of Time stayed on the Sunday Times best-seller list for a record breaking 237 weeks.
He has been spending a month at Caltech, as he does every year, always drawing huge crowds to hear him speak.
