POPSDinosaur find linked to giant plant eaters The Aardonyx celestae species dates back to the early Jurassic period. Dr. Yates said the creature found in South Africa stood nearly 6 feet high at the hip and weighed about 1,100 pounds. It was about 10 years old when it died, and its death may have been caused by drought. The species shares many characteristics with the plant-eating herbivores that walked on two legs, Dr. Yates said. But the new species also has similar attributes to dinosaurs that grew to massive sizes and went about on all fours with long necks and whip-like tails.

POPSRunning Doc: Dealing with side stitches More: For relief: Stop. Take long, deep breaths. Stretch to the sky...then bend at the waist with your arms extended above your head to the opposite side. I call this the “swoosh” stretch, because you look like the Nike logo. A word of caution, since I am a doctor: A side stitch can sometimes be felt all the way up to the shoulder. But this kind of pain may signal a heart attack, especially if it is on the left side and persists after you've spent a few minutes stretching. And if you get a side stitch each time you exercise, you could also have a problem with blood flow to the intestine. So if you experience these symptoms, see a doctor!

POPSFriesian Horses Friesians are one (#1, in my opinion) of the most magical and beautiful breeds of horse. If I had enough money, time energy, etc..., I would have 50 of them with plenty of beaches and forests and pastures and hills for them to run and play all day. And, I'd spend all of my time painting pictures and taking photos and movies of them to share with you!

POPSShebeest Boardrider Capri Bike Pants - Women's More: I bought a second pair because I ride so much. I had tried several other brands and they tend to get very bunchy in the crotch or just incredibly unflattering. Some people don't like light padding, but I find it perfect. I typically ride 2-3 times a week at least 10+ miles each time and I never wish I had more pad. And most people don't realize that you are wearing riding bottoms which makes it easy to go from trail to public without looking out of place. I also like the length. When the sun is beating down, it protects my legs from getting burnt. I also wear knee pads and the material fits perfectly over the top.

POPSRunning Doc: "Do the salt" to avoid hyponatremia More: * Follow the fluid recommendations….drink only when thirsty! * Include pretzels or a salted bagel in your pre-race meal. * Favor a sports drink that has some sodium in it over water, which has none. * In the days before the race, add salt to your foods (provided that you don't have high blood pressure or your doctor has restricted your salt intake). * Eat salted pretzels during the last half of the race. * Do the salt! Carry two small salt packets with you (the kind found in fast food restaurants), and before the race and again during the last half of the race (marathon or half-marathon) consume a single packet under your tongue. * After the race, drink a sports drink that has sodium in it and eat some pretzels or a salted bagel. * Stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatories 24 hours before your race and do not start again until 6 hours post-race.

POPSAmerican with AK-47 says he fights off attack in Kabul... Interesting article. I'm sure the media will at some point determine if this story is true since those who escaped have been evacuated. He is 62 and according to his father had fought with the Afghans against the Russians so he's been there quite some time.
