Wind Farms indeed are hugely destructive to migratory birds. Shut 'em down - what a dumb experiment.

Kennewick Man will be studied. 9000 years old - a very early American - will be studied before being re-buried. Sounds OK to me.
What is hotdish?
"On your visit to Minnesota, you will sooner or later come face to face with Minnesota's most popular native food, HOTDISH ... A traditional main course, hotdish is cooked and served hot in a single baking dish and commonly appears at family reunions and church suppers. Hotdish is constructed on a base of canned cream of mushroom soup and canned vegetables. The other ingredients are as varied as the Minnesota landscape. If you sit down to something that doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before, it's probably hotdish."
