We're not the first band to say farewell, it's just the way everyone comes to at some point and we're gonna say a few more things early next year, so I think the main thing that we just want to ask everybody to consider is don't be sad about this, start celebrating and rejoicing over all the great things we've done in Judas Priest."

  • Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery to battle it out in American Idol final... as Haley Reinhart is eliminated

    Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery to battle it out in American Idol final... as Haley Reinhart is eliminated
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    ©Life-changing: The next American Idol will be Lauren Alaina or Scotty McCreery as the two made it through to next week's final
    Record 95 million votes put teenagers through
    The next American Idol will be Lauren Alaina or Scotty McCreery - after Haley Reinhart was eliminated from the show.
    Alaina, 16, and McCreery, 17, will go head to head for the tenth American Idol title next Tuesday.
    A record 95m votes were recorded after the semi-final show last night.
    Country crooner Scotty McCreery was the first to find out he had made it through followed by Lauren Alaina.
    ©In... and out: Alaina celebrates as Haley Reinhart learns she has been eliminated from the show
    Haley Reinhart, 20, kept her cool belting out Bennie And The Jets, without shedding a tear.
    At the end of the song Haley said: 'You'll be seeing me, this ain't the end of this, this ain't the end of this thing - see you later!'
    She then embraced her mother and father in the audience.
    Reinhart had always seemed doomed on Idol. Unlike her remaining rivals the wavy-haired singer had been less definable and garnered fewer votes, landing at the bottom as one of the show's low vote-getters four times after weak performances of such songs as LeAnn Rimes' Blue and Blondie's Call Me.

    This season's femme fatale found recent success by boldly tackling classic rock tunes.
    She earned a standing ovation from the judges two weeks ago for a rousing rendition of The Animals' version of The House of the Rising Sun, and she was lauded again Wednesday for her performances of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon and Led Zeppelin's What Is and What Should Never Be.
    It was apparently too little, too late for Reinhart after 95 million viewer votes were cast Wednesday.

    While she was finding her groove throughout the finals, McCreery and Alaina had been delivering consistent country and pop performances since their attention-grabbing auditions.
    McCreery never appeared at the bottom, and Alaina only did once two weeks ago.
    Earlier in the evening as each of the three finalists were filmed visiting their hometowns.
    ©I'll be back: Haley vowed that viewers hadn't seen the last of her
    The show also featured a sizzling live performance by Nicole Scherzinger and 50 Cent and the U.S. debut of Italian boy-band and tenor trio Il Volo.
    Haley Reinhart made a tearful return to her hometown of Wheeling, Illinois a village 30 miles north of Chicago where she was overwhelmed by the number of fans who came out to see her despite a downpour.
    Scotty McCreery returned to his hometown of Garner, North Carolina for an all out concert performance - crying on camera as he was pictured leaving in his limousine.

    But the perhaps the most emotional return was for Southern belle Lauren Alaina returned to Rossville, Georgia to visit her old high-school before taking a tour of the nearby area, which was devastated by recent storms and tornadoes.
    She wept as she past through the devastated communities meeting with some of the families whose lives had been torn apart by the disaster.
    'I'm doing this for you guys,' she told the crowd.

    McCreery and Alaina will face off Tuesday, with the 10th season Idol champion crowned on Wednesday.
    It will mark the youngest finale matchup in Idol history.
    Producers lowered the minimum age requirement to 15 years old this season, which allowed Alaina, who's been compared to fourth season Idol winner Carrie Underwood, the chance to audition last year.

  • North America: Archaeologists call on feds to protect Chaco Canyon area

    North America: Archaeologists call on feds to protect Chaco Canyon area
    Tucked away among northwestern New Mexico's sandstone cliffs and buttes are the remnants of an ancient civilization whose monumental architecture and cultural influences have been a source of mystery for years.

    Scholars and curious visitors have spent more than a century trying to unravel those mysteries and more work needs to be done.

    That's why nearly 30 top archaeologists from universities and organizations around the nation called on the U.S. Interior Department on Tuesday to protect the area surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park from oil and gas development.

    In a letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, they talked about the countless hours they've spent in the field, the dozens of books they've published about the Chaco society and their decades of collective experience studying its connection to modern Native American tribes in the Southwest. They call Chaco a distinct resource.

    "Many of the features associated with this landscape — the communications and road systems that once linked the canyon to great house sites located as far away as southeast Utah and which are still being identified to this day — have been damaged by the construction of oil and gas roads, pipelines and well pads," the archaeologists said.

    They're pushing for the agency to consider a master leasing plan that would take into account cultural resources beyond the boundaries of the national park. They're also looking for more coordination between federal land managers, tribes and archaeologists.

    The Bureau of Land Management is revamping its resource management plan for the San Juan Basin and all new leasing within a 10-mile radius of Chaco park has been deferred until the plan is updated, likely in 2016.

    Wally Drangmeister, a spokesman for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, said the BLM's existing plan already takes into account cultural resources. He said there has been a push by environmentalists to tie Chaco to development in the Mancos shale more than 10 miles from the park.

    Environmentalists have been calling for protections for the greater Chaco area, and Drangmeister said that expansive definition could put the whole San Juan Basin off limits.

    The basin is one of the largest natural gas fields in the U.S. and has been in production for more than 60 years. More development is expected in some areas since technology is making it easier for energy companies to tap the region's oil resources.

    Some archaeologists have theorized that Chaco's influence spread far and wide from its remote desert location. A World Heritage site, Chaco includes a series of great houses, or massive multistory stone buildings, some of which were oriented to solar and lunar directions and offered lines of sight between buildings to allow for communication.

    Steve Lekson, a professor and curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, has spent years studying Chaco and its influence over the Southwest. He likened the process to learning how to play baseball after discovering home base and the pitcher's mound.

    "You keep poking around and find more bases and the warning tracks and all that stuff. You need the whole picture to understand how the game is played," he said. "Of course, Chaco being a political system or major regional system is much more complicated than baseball. You need enough of the package intact so you can actually understand the structure of the thing."

    Lekson and others said the hope that there's more to be discovered doesn't mean energy development should come to a halt.

    "I don't think anybody is saying that, but we need to pay a lot of attention to how that's done and be cognizant of the larger issue," he said. "It shouldn't be a site-by-site thing."

    The archaeologists' letter comes on the heels of a tour of the Chaco area by U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-New Mexico, and Interior Deputy Secretary Mike Connor. The two met with land managers and others after the tour.

    Connor said there are Navajo allottees who want to develop their resources and other Native Americans who want to protect those resources.

    "It's a balancing act throughout all of BLM's lands and I think Chaco is particularly unique," he said. "The more I learn about it, the more I was struck by the more we all have to learn."
