The wounds have had little time to heal. A new chapter in this

This week, more than a dozen families of the victims filed suit
against the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department alleging negligence
one suit claims it was police who killed their son, not one of the teen
gunman.
There is still the ongoing process of a memorial that some hope
will be ready by next years anniversary and whether to rebuild the
schools library where most of the dead were found.
And there is the seemingly unending process of cataloguing the
thousands of items that appeared at makeshift memorials around the

((They amaze kids and even some adults - so much so - that scientists
--focusing on these fascinating fossils - say they've made a fluke find.
A team of experts in North Carolina say they've now discovered the
world's first dinosaur specimen with a fossilized heart - more like the
heart of a warm-blooded mammal or a bird rather than a reptile.
Sot: presser
Scientists say the dinosaur - really called a "thess-uh-loh-sawr-us"
looks remarkably good despite being 66 million years old. One of the
scientists and his son found the fragile 600 pound relic 6 years ago on
a South Dakota ranch and nicknamed him "willo" -- after the rancher's
wife.
Enormous - it's not. As dinosaurs go - scientists say it's only the size
of a short-legged pony.
And a bargain. The North Carolina Museum paid over 300-thousand dollars
to have Willo studied and displayed - part of the skull, spine, ribs and
tail still embedded as they were found -- for anyone to ooh and ah.
Sot:presser
Finding "willo" marks the first time a dinosaur's cardiac system can be
studied. And.. in the great dinosaur debate - this boosts the theory
that dinosaurs appear to be more like mammals too.
The fossil's on display in North Carolina and is written up in the
current issue of Journal Science. Cathy Moss for CBS News, New York.))
