Air Max Shoes Outlet OnlineA mysterious group of large, crocodile-snouted dinosaurs from the northern latitudes also inhabited the land that would become Australia, a newly found fossil reveals, indicating dinosaurs got around far more than is generally thought. The fossil is of a single vertebra, which has been traced to a group of two-legged carnivores called spinatosaurids. Some of them could grow larger than a T. rex. They lived more than 140 million years ago, but until now, it was thought that they made their homes only in the north. The newly analyzed fossil, found in Victoria, establishes that these dinosaurs ranged across much of the globe during the early Cretaceous period that spanned 146 million to 140 million years ago. Combined with other fossil evidence, the find suggests dinosaurs were a lot more mobile than researchers suspect, said study researcher Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum in London.Nike Air Max In Australia's case, the dinosaurs made the trip before the land broke off into its own island continent. "Instead of being limited to various parts of the world, it looks like dinosaurs were able to disperse over very large distances," Barrett told LiveScience. [Illustration of croc-nosed dinosaur] Air Max Online New to Australia Australian researchers unearthed the vertebra during the 1990s. Since that time, the bone has been at Museum Victoria in Melbourne, awaiting analysis. Barrett came to look at the museum's backlog of bones at the behest of some Australian colleagues, he said, and the vertebra stood out. "There aren't many sites in Australia that give us dinosaur fossils," Barrett said. "So almost anything we find from Australia has the potential to be quite interesting." Air Max Outlet The vertebra did not disappoint. Just an inch and a half (42 millimeters) long and not yet entirely fused when the dinosaur died, it probably belonged to a juvenile. The vertebra appeared identical to that of Baryonyx walkeri, a spinatosaurid with foot-long claws that was found in Europe, suggesting the Australian spinatosaurid belonged to the same family though they aren't certain of its genus and species. Dinosaur breakup The discovery of a spinatosaurus in Australia made Barrett and his colleagues curious. During the early Cretaceous, the supercontinent Pangea was fragmenting, creating a northern supercontinent called Laurasia and a southern supercontinent called Gondwana. The latter land mass included what is now Australia. Scientists had thought that the dinosaurs likewise broke into two categories, northern and southern, with little overlap. But if spinatosaurids were running around Australia, might other dinosaurs have ranged across the globe as well?Air Max Sure enough, when they began to look, the team found numerous reports of species spanning both Laurasia and Gondwana during this time period. In other words, dinosaurs seem to have mixed and mingled for much longer than anyone realized. "It seems like the early-middle Cretaceous world still had a cosmopolitan flavor; the same groups of dinosaurs continued to range across the globe, even though the continents were becoming physically separated," said Stephen Brusatte, a doctoral candidate in paleontology at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.Air Max Shoes Brusatte, who was not involved in the research, told LiveScience that by the late Cretaceous, the continents had separated into a configuration that would look familiar today. At that time, dinosaur species did stay true to their hemispheres: In the north, you might be pursued by a Tyrannosaurus rex, while southern animals had to be on the lookout for giant predators like the bull-horned Carnotaurus. "The fact that we find these dinosaurs and others spread around the entire world at this time suggests they got there just before the split started to happen," Barrett said.Cheap Air Max The research team is continuing to dig through their fossil collection, looking for more evidence of Australia's ancient beasts.

Nike Air Max 2011Imagine being pregnant and taking a simple blood test that lays bare the DNA of your fetus. And suppose that DNA could reveal not only medical conditions like Down syndrome, but also things like eye color and height. And the risk for developing depression or Alzheimer's disease. And the chances of being gay. So far that's still science fiction. But scientists have been taking some baby steps in that direction. And some ethics experts say it's time to start talking now about what that could mean for parents and society.Air Max Shoes Outlet Online ___ This is the second story in a two-part series on fetal DNA testing and the ethical issues raised by it. ___ Nike Air MaxScanning fetal DNA from a blood test will be "without question a major medical advance that promises to greatly improve current prenatal care," says Jaime King, an associate professor at the UC Hastings College of Law in San Francisco who studies genetic testing. But bringing it into practice "raises significant practical, legal, ethical and social challenges," she says. "This really changes the experience of what it will be like to be pregnant and have a child," said Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society in Berkeley, Calif. "I keep coming up with the word, game-changer." She wonders if parents would withhold their commitment to a pregnancy until test results show a fetus is "good enough" to be born. And what, she asks, is good enough?Air Max Online She and others worry about how well couples will be able to understand this flood of information, and just what should be revealed. The issues have been discussed before. The DNA of a fetus has long been recoverable through medical procedures, with a small risk of miscarriage. But a blood test would be free of that risk, which should make many more women interested in it and doctors willing to test for a wider range of conditions, some experts say. And the results could come early enough to allow for an abortion before the pregnancy is even obvious. The trigger for the new round of discussion is a couple of papers published last December. In preliminary results, two research teams showed that they could essentially reconstruct a baby's genetic makeup by recovering fragments of fetal DNA from the mother's bloodstream. That ability, plus the rapidly falling cost of analyzing DNA, would open the door to inspecting individual genes.Air Max Outlet That would go well beyond the more accurate prenatal blood test for Down syndrome that some companies hope to market within a year. Within five to 10 years, doctors may be able to test for 100 or 200 diseases, albeit many of them rare, estimates Stanford University law professor Hank Greely, who studies the implications of biomedical technologies. Prenatal testing "is going to put a lot more information about the genetics of a child into the hands of a lot more parents," said King. Air MaxThat knowledge has a flip side. "How much responsibility are we expecting people to take for the genetic makeup of any child they might have?" asks Josephine Johnston, a research scholar at the Hastings Center, a bioethics think tank near New York City. If a child is born with a condition that could have been detected, the presence of the test changes that outcome "from something that happened to you, to something that you participated in," she says. "That's a very big burden to place on would-be parents," she said, adding that it's hard for a pregnant woman to refuse any test for a medical condition because it feels like the responsible thing to do. Johnston has personal experience; she gave birth to a girl just two years ago. When offered a medical screening test for the fetus, she generally felt compelled to take it. Air Max Shoes "At the moment these things happen, it's just you there by yourself," she said. Some people might like that level of control, but others "would be happier to leave things up to chance a little more." She said if she were pregnant again and offered a wider range of tests, she'd restrict herself to "really, really serious disabilities and disorders." King, who had a son 18 months ago, said she wouldn't have wanted to know about any risk for incurable diseases that show up in adulthood. Those are "things that would have caused us to spend a lot of time worrying about what his future would look like even though there's nothing we could do about it," she said. Cheap Air MaxIn the future, such testing could also look for other genes — some of which aren't yet identified — that affect non-medical traits. "If no limitations are put on, you can have a couple get a prenatal genetic test in the future saying their fetus has ... a 60 percent chance of having breast cancer at the age of 60 and a 30 percent chance of being gay," says Dr. Brian Skotko, a board member of the National Down Syndrome Society. Since such information would come early enough for an abortion, Skotko says, "The ultimate question for society is, What forms of human variation are valuable?" Then there's the possibility of direct-to-consumer companies stepping in to fill demand, King said. Couples who go that route may miss out on getting help in understanding the nuances of what the test results really mean, said Dr. Mary Norton, a Stanford professor of obstetrics and gynecology. Coach Outlet Once the prenatal information is available, another question arises, King said: Should a woman be allowed to get an abortion for any reason, even a trivial one like test results about height or eye color? Some state governments have passed laws outlawing abortions on the basis of sex, she said. But it's not clear whether those are constitutional, and a woman might simply not reveal her true reasons for wanting the abortion, King said. Skotko points out that people use their own personal perspective in deciding what they want for their children. Some couples who are deaf from a genetic condition already use current technology to avoid having children with normal hearing. "It's their lens by which they view the world, and they want a child who views the world through that same lens," he said. Greely sees other concerns. Will the testing become so routine that women won't even realize they authorized it, and then be faced with information and an abortion decision they didn't necessarily want? How can they be helped to make an informed decision on whether to be tested? And if offered a choice of genes to be tested, or results to be told about, who will help them sort through the long list to decide what they want to know? Few doctors are informed enough, and there aren't enough genetic counselors go around, he said. Coach Factory Outlet The same problem arises later when it comes time to help couples understand what the results really mean, he said. "How do you tell somebody about 100 different genetic things?" he asked. "Who's going to do that? Who's going to listen to that? Who's going to pay for that?" Results can be complex. For example, how is a woman supposed to balance a 25 percent increase in risk for one disease versus a 15 percent decrease in another, Darnovsky asks. Coach Handbags On a societal level, King said she's concerned that the prenatal diagnosis might become seen as a way of "curing" diseases by aborting fetuses that have them. Greely recently spoke about prenatal diagnosis before the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical issues, a federal advisory board. Valerie Bonham, executive director, said the commission may pursue the topic further as part of a project on DNA technology. "It's an important and emerging issue," she said. Norton doesn't believe the arrival of a blood test for DNA analysis would raise all the issues some observers cite. But she thinks it's still a good idea to talk about what the new technology could mean. Coach Handbags Outlet "I think that it is always better and helpful and important to bring up all of these issues, whether they are likely to really become reality or not," she said.

Coach OutletPursed lips. Frosty glares. Polite demurrals. Icy silence. Women in politics are grappling with the distinctly unfunny choice of restraining themselves or letting rip what they really think about Rep. Anthony Weiner's X-rated online conduct and whether he belongs in Congress. They'll be vexed by the question awhile longer because the 46-year-old Democrat from New York City told the New York Post on Thursday he won't resign. The scandal presents a maddening choice for these female leaders, none shy, between speaking out or keeping quiet about behavior that, at best, is disrespectful of women. "You're right, I don't like" questions about Weiner, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said with a smile. Coach Factory Outlet Feinstein, D-Calif., was elected in 1992, known as "the Year of the Woman." She said she's shocked and saddened by the matter, which grew worse as the week went on, and she wished she could say something lighthearted about it. Coach Handbags Does she think Weiner should resign? "I'm not getting into that," she demurred. It was an apt illustration of the bind in which female lawmakers, particularly Democrats, find themselves as Weiner's tawdry saga unfolds. They represent a party trying to position itself as the best choice for women in the lead-up to the 2012 congressional and presidential elections, yet the most senior among them have not called outright for Weiner's resignation. Most, in fact, have said nothing publicly at all. Weiner admitted four days ago that he had Tweeted sexually charged messages and photos to at least six women and lied about it. Coach Handbags Outlet How to answer the obvious question — should he quit? — remains a frustrating one for Congress' women, more so the longer Weiner clings to office. "My sense is they want him to make the decision himself," said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. "That is the way the institution works." Historically, that's true, because party leaders don't like to be sullied by the unfortunate behavior of their troops. Leaders don't want to risk their own clout on a public call for resignation that might be ignored. That's a real possibility with Weiner, who's brash and intractable and a robust fundraiser. Weiner told the Post he's not resigning and he was going to try to make amends with his family and constituents and, perhaps, get some work done. There's a smaller chance that he could ride out the scandal and win re-election despite any attempts, emphasized by Democrats this week, to redistrict him out of Congress when new political lines are drawn for 2012.Discount Coach Handbags A new poll found that 56 percent of voters in his district, which covers parts of the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, said he shouldn't resign. One-third of those surveyed in the NY1-Marist poll said he should quit and 12 percent said they were unsure. In private phone calls, Democrats have made clear to Weiner that staying would be tough on him and his wife of a year, Huma Abedin, who's pregnant with the couple's first child. On Wednesday, Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., became the first of a half-dozen Democrats to say he should leave office. hermes birkin For Democratic Rep. Kathy Hochul, the newly elected successor to a New York Republican who resigned after the release of a shirtless photo he sent to a woman he met online, Weiner's situation is "probably the definition of irony." Hochul stopped short of saying he should quit. The top women in the party and Congress have not gone as far as Schwartz. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, the first woman to serve as House speaker, said in a statement that she's "disappointed" in Weiner and called for an ethics committee investigation. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the new chief of the Democratic National Committee has said nothing, but concurs with Pelosi, a spokesman said. Her predecessor as head of the party, Tim Kaine, a Senate candidate and former Virginia governor, has said Weiner should step down. Female senators weren't eager to discuss Weiner. hermes birkin handbags Sen. Patty Murray, head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said tersely Wednesday that "of course" Weiner's troubles make it harder to elect Democrats to Congress. Murray said Thursday she thought she was answering a different question. Asked about the pressure on Weiner to resign, the Washington Democrat pointed out that he's a member of the House. "I don't even know him," Murray said.

Coach OutletIs it better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all? That's the question posed by a new tablet computer that takes aim at one of the deficiencies of the iPad: that it's difficult to write on it with a stylus or pen. The HTC Flyer is a $500 tablet with a 7-inch screen. At a glance, it's not much different from the other tablets that are scrambling to compete with Apple Inc.'s iPad. The iPad and all its copycats are designed to sense the touch of a finger. The screen layer that does this looks for big, blunt, electrically conductive objects such as fingers. It doesn't sense small, sharp ones like pens. That's why third-party styluses for the iPad are blunt rubbery sticks. They're essentially imitation fingers. They're not very good for drawing, but some people find them better than nothing.Coach Factory Outlet The Flyer has the same finger-sensing screen layer. But it backs this up with a second one, which looks for the movement of a specially designed, battery-powered pen. The pen moves fluidly over the screen, with a relatively sharp (but non-scratchy) point. The pen even senses how hard it's being pressed on the screen. The tablet responds by making the line thicker or thinner.Coach Handbags The pen makes the Flyer a great notepad and a decent sketchpad — at least one that's better than the iPad. The Flyer includes a note-taking application that's compatible with the Evernote online storage service. You can jot off a note and send it by email. The recipient will see your handwriting in an image attachment. You can also snap a picture with one of the Flyer's two cameras and color over the image with the pen. In the e-book reading application, you can scribble notes in the margins and underline with the pen. Coach Handbags OutletUnfortunately, the Flyer lacks the broad range of sketching and doodling apps that exist for the iPad. You can't dispense with finger-typing on the on-screen keyboard because the tablet doesn't understand what you're writing. Because no other tablets work with this type of pen, only apps from manufacturer HTC Corp. are compatible. The other sad thing about the Flyer is that HTC has chosen to treat the pen as an optional accessory. For the $500 you plunk down at Best Buy — the same price as the larger, more capable entry-level iPad — you don't get the pen. It's $80 extra. Yet it's a mystery why anyone would buy a Flyer without it. Discount Coach Handbags Worse, HTC makes zero effort at keeping pen and owner united. There is no slot on the tablet to hold the pen when not in use. There's no case for the Flyer that will hold the pen. The pen doesn't even have a little loop that would let you tie it to the tablet or something else that won't get lost. In two weeks of use, I dropped the pen a dozen times. I'm proud that I managed not to lose it, but I doubt I could go another two weeks. I would then have the privilege of buying a replacement for $80, a price for which I could get about 300 Bic pens. In that context, "never to have loved at all" looks like the cheaper option. Paper pads and ballpoint pens, too. hermes birkin Sprint Nextel Corp. will sell a version of the Flyer it will call EVO View 4G, starting June 24. It will have 32 gigabytes of memory, double the storage in Best Buy's version, and it will have access to Sprint's data network. In a smart move, Sprint is including the pen, but only "for a limited time." However, buyers will need to sign up for two years of wireless data service from Sprint, so the final price will be considerably higher. Some other things to consider: The Flyer runs Google Inc.'s Android 2.3 software, which in plain English means that it uses the same software as a lot of smartphones, but not other recent iPad rivals. They use a more recent package, "Honeycomb," that's designed for tablets. HTC promises to upgrade the Flyer's software to Honeycomb soon, helping it stay compatible with tablet-specific apps. Coach Jewelry In my video-playing test, I got 7.5 hours of play time out of the Flyer, which isn't very good for a tablet. The iPad 2 gets ten hours; the Asus Eee Pad Transformer gets nine. The Transformer is a better example of a tablet that tries to compete with the iPad by doing something new — in that case, by doubling as a small, elegant laptop thanks to a clever accessory keyboard. The pen-sensing layer of the Flyer could be a great addition to the world of tablets, but someone really needs to figure out how to make the pen cheaper or easier to keep track of. To end on another corny quote, "If you love something, set it free; if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was" is not a phrase to live by when it comes to $80 pens.

Nike outletSony Corp. on Monday took the wraps off its next generation portable gaming machine, PlayStation Vita, a touch-interface and motion-sensitive handheld that outdoes its workhorse PlayStation Portable and will go on sale before the winter holidays. Company executives have called the device Sony's biggest product launch since the PlayStation 3 five years ago. The device will allow gamers to be connected with one another over cellphone networks and Wi-Fi hotspots, and use GPS location-tracking technology. In the U.S., Sony is partnering exclusively with AT&T Inc. for cellphone service. Coach Outlet The device, available for $249 for its Wi-Fi-only version, was unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the video game industry's annual convention known as E3. A version that will also have cellphone service will retail for $299, and buyers will have to subscribe to a cellular data plan. The handheld has front and back cameras, a touchscreen in front, a touch pad on the back and two knob-like joysticks. It will enable gamers to play against people using PlayStation 3 consoles over the Internet-based PlayStation Network, a system that was recently restored after being shut down due to a massive hacking attack. Coach Factory OutletSony apologized again for the outage and said since the network was restored, activity is back to 90 percent of the pre-attack level. The hardware comes with an accelerometer, which means it will also react to being held at different angles and being moved through the air. "PlayStation Vita will revolutionize the portable entertainment experience," Kazuo Hirai, group chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., told a crowd of 6,000 at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. "The whole world is really in play." The Vita is slightly bigger than the PlayStation Portable, which has sold more than 70 million units worldwide since its launch in 2004. The PSP will continue to be sold along with new games.Coach Handbags But the Vita — code-named "NGP," or next generation portable, until Monday — will enable gamers to do more. A Sony staffer demonstrated a version of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception," in which he used the familiar buttons and knobs but also touched the screen to move the Drake avatar across ledges and attack opponents in close combat. Another game called "Reality Fighters" will allow users to take a picture and have fighting characters battle each other using objects from the real world. Along with social games and email, Sony also unveiled a communication service it called "Party" that will enable voice and text chat during games or when using the Web browser. Coach Handbags OutletUsers will also be able to sense when other gamers are nearby, what games they have played recently, and enable in-game gifting of virtual items. Sony was the latest technology company to make a big bet on connected-everywhere services, following Apple Inc.'s presentation Monday in San Francisco of its iCloud storage service, which will allow consumers to access their photos, music and documents on distant servers. "Cloud is where everything is headed," said Ricardo Torres, editor-in-chief of GameSpot.com. "This is certainly the attempt by Sony to make sure they're not left behind." Sony also introduced a range of new 3-D games such as "Resistance 3," a traditional shooter game, in a big push to make it a leader in the format. It is bundling the PS3 game with a pair of 3-D glasses and a 24-inch 3-D monitor for $499, a price far lower than most 3-D displays on the market. Discount Coach Handbags Sony's array of new 3-D games and the Vita itself are directed at so-called core gamers, who are focused on serious action and effects. But in a reflection of the growing popularity of games that make use of iPad and iPhone touch screens and Apple's iOS operating system, like the addictive "Angry Birds," Sony also said Monday it would put PlayStation games onto smartphones that run on Google Inc.'s competing Android operating system. It called the service focused on such casual gamers "PlayStation Suite" and said further details would be announced in the coming months. "Smartphones and tablets have really created a large market for casual gaming," Hirai said in an interview after Sony's presentation. "We want to make sure we're in both areas."
