question:
It was deja vu all over again. With Senate Republicans inching closer to passing an Obamacare replacement bill  a potential fulfillment of seven years of campaign promises   Arizona Senator John McCain  once again intervened to save the failing law.  He  dramatically cast the deciding vote to kill a drastically pared-down "skinny repeal" bill over the summer  then reprised the spoiler role on Friday afternoon by announcing  his  opposition to legislation championed by  his  close friend and ally  Sen. Lindsey Graham. Between  McCain 's statement and Rand Paul's unconvincing 'purity' posture  Mitch McConnell can't afford to lose a single additional member of his caucus. The truth is  he already has. Anyone who's followed Susan Collins' record on this issue knows that Graham-Cassidy is dead. She's technically only "leaning" no  but that's tantamount to a hard no; I'm fairly certain she'd vote against her own Obamacare replacement plan at this point. In revealing his intention to torpedo the latest bill -- with just days remaining before the GOP's reconciliation authority expires  according to the Senate Parliamentarian  -- McCain  used process concerns as  his  primary fig leaf:
In what way is working with Democrats  who are either staunch Obamacare defenders or already moving on to an even bigger government power-grab  likely make healthcare reform better? Like Rand Paul's weak excuse for opposing Graham-Cassidy (given his vote in favor of skinny repeal  which did far less to uproot Obamacare)   McCain 's justification makes little sense. Part of  his  Hamlet act on the previous Senate repeal bill (BCRA) was an insistence that  he  couldn't approve a plan that didn't have the full backing of  his  state's governor  Doug Ducey. "My position on this proposal will be largely guided by Governor Ducey's analysis of how it would impact the people of our state "  McCain  claimed at the time. "My friends  this is legislation that directly affects the people of my state. I trust my governor." Ducey had raised objections to the BCRA  publicly stating that he agreed with  McCain  that it was fatally flawed. While the governor eventually cleared  McCain  to back "skinny repeal" as a means to advancing the process to a conference committee  his concerns about the legislation's underlying content made  McCain 's 'no' vote easier. But guess who explicitly supported the passage of Graham-Cassidy this time? Governor Doug Ducey. Apparently "trusting his governor" no longer mattered to McCain. And then there's this:

McCain rightly and ruthlessly blasted his Democratic opponent as a supporter of a law that was inflicting disproportionate harm on Arizonans. Then he proceeded to vote exactly as she would have. The Senator's new position is that a bipartisan "fix" is in order. How would his campaign have gone if he'd told voters  "by 'we must repeal and replace Obamacare ' what I really mean is  'we must work with Patty Murray and the Democrats to tweak Obamacare after promising to abandon repeal'"? Perhaps he'd be former Senator John McCain  no longer in a position to be hailed as a "hero" by the exact same people who passionately opposed and slandered him during his presidential run  and who would have called him every name under the sun if he'd reached a different conclusion about a bill written and sponsored by his best friend in Congress. I'll leave you with some journalists wondering if Graham-Cassidy may still have a glimmer of life:

John McCain: Obamacare Savior


question:
âDespite the government shutdown  (the department) determined the operational necessity of television and radio broadcasts constitutes them as essential activities â  chief Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White  said. âWe will continue to find solutions to support our troops at home and abroad.â
 Her  announcement followed outcry about overseas U.S. service members not being able to see the two games Sunday afternoon  particularly since officials have said military personnel wonât get paid during the furlough  which started overnight Friday.
 White  described some legal and manpower maneuvering to get the games on air.  She  said two of the eight Armed Forces Network channels -- news and sports -- will remain on  despite the network being run by civilians  who have been furloughed in the shutdown.
âWith minimal manning  we can keep the sports channel up without incurring any additional cost or manpower-complying with shutdown guidance  " White  said in a statement. âThanks to uniform leadership at AFN  our comptroller and legal team.â
 She  said the news channel remains on because the contract has already been paid and the sports channel was turned on because âit doesn't cost any more money or manpower to manage a second channel.â
Still   White  had some sharp words for Congress  whose failure to pass a temporary spending resulted in the shutdown.
âThe shutdown requires us to do a lot of tedious work â  she  said. âCongress needs to pass a budget.â

question:
Scientists found hundreds of pterosaur bones at the surface of the site (Alexander Kellner  Museu Nacional/UFRJ).
âThis is by far the most exciting discovery that I know of â said  Alexander Kellner   co-author of the new study and paleontologist at the National Museum of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
And  Kellner  isnât some newbie to pterosaur discoveries.  He âs been studying these ancient animals for more than 30 years and has personally been a part of naming or describing more than 20 species. This includes the species in question  Hamipterus tianshanensis  which  Kellner   Wang  and a team of their colleagues discovered in 2014.
With a wingspan of approximately 11 feet  an adult H. tianshanensis may have been something like an albatross. You know  if albatrosses had large crests running the lengths of their heads and spikelike teeth. This species does not appear to have had feathers   Kellner  said.
Probably a fish-eater  H. tianshanensis inhabited hot and dry environments but would have buried its eggs in the sand and vegetation found on the shores of lakes or rivers. This is also likely why so many eggs have been found together.  Kellner  suspects recent storms caused torrential flooding which unearthed the eggs and washed them into the fossil record  along with other  older pterosaurs that fell victim to the deluge.
The paper says that H. tianshanensis hatchlings wouldnât have been able to fly immediately because several of the eggs the team examined showed wing bones that were less developed than expected. This may have meant that baby pterosaurs would have spent some time on the ground hunting insects and generally trying not to be eaten before learning how to take wing.  Kellner  even speculated that the pterosaur females and maybe even males would have stuck around to feed the hatchlings to help get them through such a precarious stage.
Pterosaurs ran the gamut from the gigantic  aircraftlike Quetzalcoatlus all the way down to animals about the size of a sparrow  such as Nemicolopterus. Some had the long  pointy snouts we typically associate with the flying reptiles. Others boasted wild and crazy crests  which may have been used to attract the opposite sex  as has been suggested with H. tianshanensis. And still other pterosaur species had short  squat skulls more like  that of a frog   Chiappe said. (Albeit  a very scary frog.)
Pterosaurs were the very first animals with backbones to master powered flight   Kellner  said. How they did what they did  and did it for as long as they did  is just one of the mysteries he and his colleagues hope to solve.
answer:

Scientists just discovered the mother lode of pterosaur eggs and they are over the moon
