R. Kelly faces pornography charges
R&B singer R. Kelly was arrested early Wednesday morning in Miami, Fla. with child pornography charges.
Authorities say they found a dozen digital images in Kelly's camera. They say three of the images show him having sex with a minor. The others, they say, show other adults with a nude underage girl.
Kelly is already awaiting trial in Illinois after being arrested last summer on more than 20 other child pornography charges.
One of the singer's lawyers says there's nothing new in the Florida charges and that they all stem from the charges over the summer.
Dinosaur fossils uncovered in China
Paleontologists have discovered the remains of what they believe is a four-winged creature that glided from ancient trees above its dinosaur cousins long before two wings took over to power flight.
The small animal called "Microraptor gui" - in honor of Chinese paleontologist Gu Zhiwei - was about 2.5 feet long and had feathers covering its legs and wings. The fossils were dated to 128 million years ago.
Scientists say the fossils revive a debate between two theories of how dinosaurs might have evolved into birds. One theory holds that these bird ancestors learned to flap their wings to power flight while they were gliding.The other theory suggests they learned to fly by increasing their running speed with their wings and taking off from the ground.
Details of the fossils appear in the current issue of the journal Nature.
