>A new study finds that the Ice-Age diet -- a high-protein intake of large animals -- triggered physical changes in Neanderthals, namely a larger ribcage and a wider pelvis.

Homo sapiens, the ancestor of modern humans, shared the planet with Neanderthals, a close, heavy-set relative that dwelled almost exclusively in Ice-Age Europe, until some 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals were similar to Homo sapiens, with whom they sometimes mated -- but they were different, too. Among these many differences, Neanderthals were shorter and stockier, with wider pelvises and rib-cages than their modern human counterparts.

But what accounted for these anatomical differences? A new Tel Aviv University study finds that the Ice-Age diet -- a high-protein intake of large animals -- triggered physical changes in Neanderthals, namely a larger ribcage and a wider pelvis.

According to the research, the bell-shaped Neanderthal rib-cage or thorax had to evolve to accommodate a larger liver, the organ responsible for metabolizing great quantities of protein into energy. This heightened metabolism also required an expanded renal system (enlarged bladder and kidneys) to remove large amounts of toxic urea, possibly resulting in a wide Neanderthal pelvis.

Seeing evolution from a new angle

"The anatomical differences between the thoraxes and pelvises of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals have been well-known for many years, but now we're approaching it from a new angle -- diet," said Prof. Avi Gopher. Prof. Gopher, Prof. Ran Barkai and PhD candidate Miki Ben-Dor, all of TAU's Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures, co-authored the study, which was recently published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

>About 7 million Americans live in areas of the central and eastern United States that could experience a damaging earthquake in 2016 that was caused by human activity such as wastewater disposal from gas production.

>For the first time, the U.S. Geological Survey has published an earthquake hazard map pinpointing potential sites of both man-made and naturally occurring earthquakes. The map and an accompanying study were released Monday.

>"By including human-induced events, our assessment of earthquake hazards has significantly increased in parts of the U.S.," Mark Petersen, chief of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project, said in a press release. "This research also shows that much more of the nation faces a significant chance of having damaging earthquakes over the next year, whether natural or human-induced."

>The USGS reported that almost all the risk of increasing man-made quakes is tied to "companies that are injecting wastewater from gas and oil production down to porous rocks far below ground."

>The study reveals that the most significant hazard areas for "induced" or man-make quakes are located in six states -- Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arkansas.

>Oklahoma has the highest risk, and along with Texas has the largest population that could be exposed to the risk.

>On Tuesday morning, just hours after the report came out, Oklahoma experienced two more quakes with a magnitude of 4.1 and 4.2.

>Texas scientists have found the oldest confirmed site of human habitation in the Americas just north of Austin, where the Edwards Plateau meets the coastal plains.

>The unprecedented haul of artifacts from as far back as 15,500 years ago brings archaeologists much closer to answering the mysteries of who the first Americans were, where they came from and how they got here.

>The new work, published Thursday in the journal Science, may definitively prove humans lived in the Americas prior to the “Clovis” people, who spread widely across the western hemisphere beginning about 13,000 years ago.

>These people, identifiable by their characteristic fluted spear points, long were thought to be the first Americans.

>The discovery of such an old settlement also suggests the first Americans must have come from Asia, not through an ice-free corridor over land, but along the Alaskan and Canadian coasts in boats as long as 16,000 years ago.

>“I think we’re getting closer and closer to understanding how and when the first people came into the Americas,” said Michael Waters, a Texas A&M University archaeologist who led the study.

>Waters and his colleagues found the trove of some 15,000 stone artifacts about 50 miles north-northwest of Austin at the Debra L. Friedkin site along Buttermilk Creek.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35915232 so this is yesterday's news, but I only just saw this today.
So my questions are: how the fuck does the cartel get ANYONE to take that job smuggling? It looks like the shittiest possible job on earth. Seriously, you can't even use a blanket when you're half in water.
Secondly, six TONS?! Wouldn't six tons of cocaine be worth a lot more than $200 million? How do you fit 6 tons of cocaine on that little boat? Or was there more than one boat, and the video just doesn't show it?

As we speak, The Merchant is trying to pull the levers of society in order to

permanently destroy the traditions and culture of all European nations through deliberate and calculated mass immigration of a hostile alien culture. Action

must be taken immediately or the future of posterity is at great risk. If you are German, it is imperative that you begin to support Frauke Petry and her

vigilant effort to return Germany to its traditional culture and roots. If you think this is anti-diversity, think again. Europe was diverse because each

country had its own unique culture and traditions that were celebrated for hundreds of years. This greatness is being taken away on your

watch and it is your duty to stop it. The effort is to secure the border and take measures to retain culture and tradition for the benefit of posterity.

The European Donald Trump MUST rise or all is lost!

Yet another effort to come out of the woodwork, but this one was actually employed by Trump Tower!

> What was once Trump's desire to rank second place to send a message to America and to increase his power as a businessman has nightmarishly morphed into a charade that is poised to do irreparable damage to this country if we do not stop this campaign in its tracks.

> I'll say it again: Trump never intended to be the candidate. But his pride is too out of control to stop him now.

> You can give Trump the biggest gift possible if you are a Trump supporter: stop supporting him.

> He doesn't want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.

> The hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.

> And if you are one of the disaffected voters — one of the silent majority like me — who wanted a candidate who could be your voice, I want to speak directly to you as one of his biggest advocates and supporters.

> He is not that voice. He is not your voice. He is only Trump's voice.

Cesar Gonzales-Mugaburu, 59, was charged March 18 with sexually abusing seven children — and a pet dog — in his home on a Suffolk County cul-de-sac.

She warned them over and over again.

School social worker Debbie Edwards filed multiple complaints with authorities about alleged foster father from hell Cesar Gonzales-Mugaburu.

But investigators and a Longwood school district central office administrator always pushed her aside and never took the allegations of abuse and neglect seriously.

Edwards complaints to the New York State Central Registry, which were forwarded to the Suffolk County Child Protective Services, date as far back as 14 years ago. That's when children in Gonzales-Mugaburu's care apparently first began to attend the Longwood school district.

"I tried to initiate investigations against this guy," Edwards told the Daily News Monday. "My professional instincts told me things were way wrong in the house."

Gonzales-Mugaburu, 59, was charged March 18 with sexually abusing seven children — and a pet dog — in his home on a Suffolk County cul-de-sac.

Edwards first encounter with the alleged predator was after a 16-year-old summer school student said he got kicked out of the house because of a new girlfriend.

Amanda Zolicoffer, 27, copped to the misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to a year in state prison, a term that will run concurrently with lengthier sentences she received last month in an unrelated felony prosecution.

The case against Zolicoffer’s codefendant, Douglas Blansett, 76, is pending.

Zolicoffer and Blansett were charged with public lewdness after a self-described “video vigilante” provided Oklahoma City cops with footage (seen above) showing the duo appearing to have sex in the front seat of Blansett’s truck.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Brian Bates, the anti-prostitution avenger, followed Blansett’s Ford F-150 after he spotted Zolicoffer entering the vehicle. When the truck turned down a deserted road leading to a tire yard, Bates launched his drone from an adjacent street.

As seen in Bates’s footage (beginning around the 4:10 mark), he lowered the drone to within a few feet of Blansett’s truck. As detailed in the police affidavits, the footage revealed that “Zolicoffer’s pants were off and the driver appeared to be having sexual intercourse with Zolicoffer.”

Investigator Ben Lacaze noted that, “Once Zolicoffer and the driver saw the drone, they immediately ceased their activity and left the area.” Lacaze, a Vice Enforcement Unit officer, stated that he was “familiar with Zolicoffer and her involvement in prostitution related activity,” adding that she had distinctive facial tattoos that were visible in the drone video.

Zolicoffer’s rap sheet includes convictions for prostitution, credit card theft, cocaine trafficking, larceny, leaving the scene of an accident, and concealing stolen property. Blansett is a defendant in a second lewdness case in which his codefendant is a convicted prostitute.

Zolicoffer is pictured above in a mug shot taken last year.

The results of this study provided high-resolution, whole mitochondrial genome information for the Oneota, a Native American archaeological culture that rose to prominence ca. AD 1000-1650, but declined sharply following European contact. "The analysis of mitochondrial DNA allows us to better understand the population history of ancient peoples," said Anne Stone, professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University.

Using advanced sequencing technologies, University of Oklahoma anthropologists demonstrate that human DNA can be significantly enriched from dental calculus (calcified dental plaque) enabling the reconstruction of whole mitochondrial genomes for maternal ancestry analysis--an alternative to skeletal remains in ancient DNA investigations of human ancestry.

Christina Warinner and Cecil M. Lewis, Jr., professors in the Department of Anthropology, OU College of Arts and Sciences, collaborated with researchers from Arizona State University and Pennsylvania State University on the capture, enrichment and high-throughput sequencing of DNA extracted from six individuals at the 700-year-old Oneota cemetery, Norris Farms #36.

"We can now obtain meaningful human, pathogen and dietary DNA from a single sample, which minimizes the amount of ancient material required for analysis," said Warinner.

In recent years, dental calculus has emerged as an unexpected, but valuable, long-term reservoir of ancient DNA from dietary and microbial sources. This study demonstrates that dental calculus is also an important source of ancient human DNA. Very little dental calculus was required for analysis--fewer than 25 milligrams per individual. This makes it possible to obtain high quality genetic ancestry information from very little starting material, an important consideration for archaeological remains.
