...would ultimately dominate North America and Asia. That probably didn't happen until larger predatory dinosaurs went extinct for other reasons, say the scientists, allowing Raptorex-like creatures to begin growing. Once they started to get into the league of the big predators, though, where speed and bone-crushing jaw strength would let them range farther and crunch the bones of the biggest prey, there was no competition at all. By about 90 million years ago at the latest, T. rex - or as we might now say, the king-size version of Raptorex - was unchallenged. "There was no turning back...
...that's what it is in essence, with nearly $70,000 in prize money at stake. For this year's event, which runs Sept. 24 to Oct. 4, judges have chosen 165 designs from 10 countries, to be featured in 10 two-hour shows, each of which is a jaw-dropping theatrical performance. Dance, music, lighting, elaborate sets and of course the ensembles themselves attract a total audience of around 35,000.

It’s hard to picture the Senate without Ted Kennedy.

You'd expect the killer design of the Audi R-8, for instance, to elicit some oohs and aahs, and it doesn't disappoint; it's a dazzler. The Bentley Continental Supersports is another jaw dropper that can motor along at 200 m.p.h., if you call that motoring. But the Audi goes for $113,000; the Bentley costs $100,000 more.

...current drug treatments for osteoporosis slow down the destruction of existing bone, the new data suggest that denosumab may be more effective in promoting bone density. In addition, the studies show that denosumab did not cause the serious side effects - including cancer and the disintegration of bone in the jaw - that are associated with bisphosphonate drugs like Boniva, Fosamax and Reclast, the most commonly prescribed osteoporosis drugs on the market.
