Note that I posted something shortly after Ken's posting towards that end.

In it, I forgot to mention:

* Kent Steven's DinoMorph paper on alternative strategies for getting tyrants 
to sit down or stand up.

* Jorn Hurum (et al.)'s presentation on new details of the braincase of 
Tarbosaurus (note: it's Tarbo.'s 50th anniversary this
year!), and its phylogenetic implications (sister taxon to Alioramus, and those 
two sister taxa to T. rex or (T. rex + Nano), and
Daspletosaurus falling out equally often as sister to the Asian group, sister 
to the American Lancian group, or sister to both.

Take care,
