Dinosaur hunters take note: The Dinosaur National Monument Visitor Center in Utah has been closed indefinitely, AP reports. The center allowed visitors to see paleontologists at work and view dinosaur bones still embedded in a cliff. The building has constructed on unstable clay soil in 1957, and has suffered from various problems ever since. The National Park Service says the center "will remain closed indefinitely until significant life, health, and safety issues are addressed." Given the repair backlog at the agency, that could be awhile.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
