This Sunday, October 5th, Drexel University paleontologist Ken Lacovara will be giving a lecture on Patagonian dinosaurs called "Giants at the End of the World." It will be at the recently re-opened New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, and it starts at 4 PM (and is free!).
I don't know whether I'm going to be able to make it or not, but if you're in the area I definitely would recommend checking it out. Maybe he will even have something to say about Aerosteon!

Speaking of Argentina, have you seen this paper in PLoS One today?
Sereno, P.C. et al. (2008) Evidence for Avian Intrathoracic Air Sacs in a New Predatory Dinosaur from Argentina. PLoS One, 3, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0003303.
Steve; Yes, I did see it, but I haven't had time to read it fully. I'll have to dig out the old Majungasaurus paper on the same topic and some of Matt Wedel's stuff, too.
I linked to the paper in the post above, as well, for anyone who doesn't have the paper (it's free to download, so check it out).
