NUance Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 WASHINGTON (AP) — Picture the fearsome creatures of "Jurassic Park" crossed with the shark from "Jaws." Then super-size to the biggest predator ever to roam Earth. Now add a crocodile snout as big as a person and feet like a duck's. The result gives you some idea of a bizarre dinosaur scientists unveiled Thursday. This patchwork of critters, a 50-foot predator, is the only known dinosaur to live much of its life in the water. Spinosaurus had a long neck, strong clawed forearms, powerful jaws and the dense bones of a penguin. It propelled itself in water with flat feet that were probably webbed, according to a study released Thursday by the journal Science. The beast sported a spiny sail on its back that was 7 feet tall when it lived 95 million years ago. "It's like working on an extraterrestrial or an alien," study lead author Nizar Ibrahim of the University of Chicago said, while standing in front of a room-sized reconstruction of the skeleton at the National Geographic Society, which helped fund the research. "It's so different than anything else around," he said. LINK Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Rare virus infecting kids across the US Updated by Julia Belluz on September 14, 2014, 7:08 p.m. ET @juliaoftoronto julia.belluz@voxmedia.com A rare virus — enterovirus D68, also known as EV-D68 — is infecting children across the country and sending them to hospitals with severe respiratory infections and breathing problems. Though the virus doesn't appear to be deadly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are warning doctors and parents to be on the lookout. "This is a very unusual situation," said Dr. Greg Storch, director of infectious diseases at St. Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri. "We don't fully know what to expect." LINK1 This is a real bad type of flu virus. Kids can't seem to catch their breath, almost like a severe case of asthma. I think this virus started near where I live in western Illinois. There were 70 kids in the hospital here with this last week. Weird stuff. LINK2 Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 For Longsword, a Comeback Ages in the Making By MAC WILLIAM BISHOPSEPT. 15, 2014, New York Times A hotel ballroom in Ellicott City, Md., seemed an unlikely setting for a four-day competition involving ancient martial arts, Longpoint 2014. “Fight!” the referee called out. Axel Pettersson, 29, raised his sword above his head and waited. When his opponent drew near, they exchanged a rapid set of blows. At last, Pettersson landed a vicious cut across his opponent’s torso, winning the open steel longsword competition and adding another championship to his collection. LINK Pretty video with this article. Longsword fighting. Cool! Quote Link to comment
