Some 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid rocketed through space and slammed into Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs and virtually all other life. Now, the story of the dinosaurs’ life and death and what it means for the future are on display at Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University (EFM). On Thursday, March 20, Rowan held a ribbon cutting for the museum named by Smithsonian Magazine one of its top 10 most anticipated in the world. The $75 million project In southern New Jersey takes visitors from the late Cretaceous period – the heyday of the dinosaurs – to the wonders and challenges of today.

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor There are those who believe that old sayings are wise because someone now dead said them or wrote then or carved them into the cave walls a long time ago. But it’s our journalistic duty to laugh at ones that are just ridiculous. Case in point “There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of a man.” Have you ever brushed the outside of a horse? I don’t mean just getting the Cretaceous crust off him with a curry comb. I mean getting a soft brush in there all the way to bedrock (or his skin) whichever comes first. Depending on where you live, you will find hidden in that soft brush such things as yellow snow, goatheads, trail dust, horse slobber from one of his corral mates that settled in and dried, and dead grass. If you’re fortunate... Read more →

They are currently 15-13, trailing only the red-hot New York Mets (18-7). But a costly sweep at the hands of the Mets helped raise questions about the Phillies and their credentials as true challengers for the divisional crown. However, even with the early-season missteps, Philadelphia is far from out of the picture in the NL East. Management Woes The Phillies have struggled with many things this season, but one of their biggest issues has been consistency, particularly in the bullpen. They have the third-worst mark in the league with a 5.81 ERA among relievers and have been plagued by late-game collapses. The fragility of the Phillies' relief corps was on full display during their most recent defeat, a courageous comeback... Read more →
