...construction could begin, as well as constant monitoring since. So on this balmy afternoon, archaeologist Elizabeth Oster is examining a spot she says is "right smack in the middle of the runway." If she unearths anything of scientific importance, the area will have to be excavated before construction can proceed. By the end of the day, Oster has found some stone chips, probably residue from a 5,000-year-old Paleo-Indian arrowhead. It's not enough to recommend a shutdown. The earthmovers roar to life again...

Nikam is already well-known after...
...after receiving a positive budget score from the CBO for his health-reform bill, Senate majority leader Harry Reid told his caucus that he hopes to hold the first test vote - on the motion to proceed - by 8 p.m. on Saturday. In the face of a promised GOP filibuster, that will require 60 votes, which is exactly the number Reid has in his Democratic caucus.
