Dinosaur exhibit is big -- on imagination
Artistic license and scientific data are like T. rex and triceratops — they don't mix well. Still, the creators of "Dinoroarus," the new exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo, had to use their imaginations to create the exhibit's 17 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs.
"There's a lot we know about dinosaurs but a whole lot we don't know," said the Zoo's Louise Bradshaw, who worked with Texas-based Billings Productions to create the moving, roaring dinos. "For instance, fossils don't tell us what color the dinosaurs were. We have a sense of what their skin was made from. We have some concept of what their relationship was to one another. But still there's so much we don't know and what we do know is changing."
Take, for example, the apatosaurus. You may have met this long-necked dinosaur under a different name — brontosaurus.
Spotlight is on best everyday products
From flavorful coffee beans for a morning eye-opener to picnic plates that can stand up to mounds of fried chicken, Consumer Reports recently identified the top-performing supermarket products in five major categories -- foods, snacks, drinks, personal care and stuff for the home -- and 39 product subcategories.
All of them were judged excellent or very good by CR and are still available in their tested formulations. Most picks in each category were pitted against many competitors; some were compared with just a few products.
Highlights from CR's best everyday products include:
Barbecue sauce: KC Masterpiece Original. It's versatile, with sweet molasses flavor, some heat and just enough smoke to taste grilled.

Home foreclosures soar ... Rates in tri-county area mirror national trends
Home foreclosures in the Charleston area rose dramatically during the first three months of this year, mirroring national trends and reinforcing worries about the shaky U.S. economy. Lenders filed foreclosure proceedings on 874 residential properties in the tri-county area in the first quarter, according to statistics compiled by The Post and Courier. While comparable data from a year ago is unavailable for Dorchester County, the number of foreclosures in Charleston and Berkeley counties jumped to 638 this year from 425 in the same period last year, a 50.1 percent increase. Dorchester County, which reports the number of properties set for county auctions, rather than foreclosure filings, saw a 53.8 percent increase from the same period last year. The rising foreclosure rates are part of the fallout from a slumping real estate market that has dampened property values across the country.
