Indians looking to cut down costly mistakes

Email CLEVELAND -- The Indians opened their nine-game homestand with a 3-2 record following Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Royals, but that's largely been despite their defense, not because of it. Over those last five contests, the Tribe committed six errors and six wild pitches. Second baseman Jason Kipnis said there's no real way to explain an error -- or a bunch of them -- and he ...

Howling III: The Marsupials [DVD]

Philippe Mora's Howling III: The Marsupials is a silly, semi-spoof of werewolf movies that has nothing to do with the first two entries in The Howling series aside from the title (not that The Howling and Howling II had much to do with each other, either). Set in Australia, it imagines a clan of marsupial werewolves living isolated and in relative peace in the far reac ... ...

of the news we deliver.

Smallest known plant-eating dinosaur found in Canada

A team of paleontologists from the University of Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum, Cleveland Museum of Natural History and University of Calgary have identified a new dinosaur, the smallest plant-eating dinosaur species known from Canada.

Albertadromeus syntarsus was identified from a partial hind leg, and other skeletal elements, that indicate it was a speedy runner. Approximately 1.6 m (5 ft) long, it weighed about 16 kg (30 lbs), comparable to a large turkey.

Albertadromeus lived in what is now southern Alberta in the Late Cretaceous, about 77 million years ago.

Albertadromeus syntarsus means "Alberta runner with fused foot bones". Unlike its much larger ornithopod cousins, the duckbilled dinosaurs, its two fused lower leg bones would have made it a fast, agile two-legged runner. This animal is the smallest known plant-eating dinosaur in its ecosystem, and researchers hypothesize that it used its speed to avoid predation by the many species of meat-eating dinosaurs that lived at the same time.

Albertadromeus was discovered in 2009 by study co-author David Evans of the Royal Ontario Museum as part an on-going collaboration with Michael Ryan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to investigate the evolution of dinosaurs in the Late Cretaceous of North America. ...
