CALGARY HERALD - 190 million-year-old dinosaur embryos excavated in China shed light on ancient development, Apr 10, 2013
"LOS ANGELES — Recently discovered dinosaur embryos are giving scientists their best glimpse yet into how the ancient creatures developed. The 190-million-year-old fossils unearthed in China belonged to Lufengosaurus, a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur known for its gigantic size, with adults reaching 30 feet (9 metres)long. A detailed look at more than 200 bones from 20 individual animals at various stages of development revealed they grew much more rapidly inside the egg than other dinosaurs and flexed their muscles in much the same way as birds and humans. While not a complete surprise, “we are thrilled that we could document this for the first time for an extinct animal,” said University of Toronto paleontologist Robert Reisz, who led an international team that excavated the remains in southwestern China."

China halts some overland tourism to North Korea-travel agencies, Apr 10, 2013
"(Reuters) - Some Chinese tour operators have halted travel to North Korea at the behest of local authorities and because of rising safety concerns as Pyongyang whips up war rhetoric following weeks of tension on the Korean peninsula. Authorities in the northeastern city of Dandong have told tour agencies to halt overland tourism into North Korea, local travel agents said on Wednesday. "There were tourists that were planning to go there today, but then we received the notification, so they've all gone back home," said an employee of Dandong China International Travel Service, who asked not to be named. Five other travel agencies confirmed they had stopped tours that use the land border crossing into North Korea at Dandong. One cited a notice from the government tourism bureau in Dandong."
