Humans Had Sex Regularly With Mysterious Extinct Relatives in Africa

The `human tree' may be acquiring yet another branch to it's expanding foliage. Excellent three minute read about humans interbreeding with yet another human-like species BEFORE leaving Africa. http://news.yahoo.com/humans-had-sex-regularly-mysterious-extinct-relatives-africa-025605344.html

Sometimes, on days of remembering (10 year anniversary of 9-11 is today), it is important to look back at the common people too. Consider this 1909 family: The Young's.
January 22, 1909. Tifton, Georgia. "Family working in the Tifton Cotton Mill. Mrs. A.J. Young works in mill and at home. Nell (oldest girl) alternates in mill with mother. Mammy (next girl) runs 2 sides. Mary (next) runs 1½ sides. Elic (oldest boy) works regularly. Eddie (next girl) helps in mill, sticks on bobbins. Four smallest children not working yet. The mother said she earns $4.50 a week and all the children earn $4.50 a week. Husband died and left her with 11 children. Two of them went off and got married. The family left the farm two years ago to work in the mill."

Dolphins RE-Generate With Internal Advanced Medicines

But, then again, what would you expect of a creature around for so long? I rarely Copy and Paste this much of an article. It's short and I hope you hit the link to finish it too.
This week, there was a thought-provoking letter in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology that explored how dolphins heal from shark bites that would be fatal to many other species, including humans. Author Michael Zasloff, a professor of immunology at Georgetown University, wondered how dolphins survive huge shark bites without bleeding to death or falling victim to infection from the many bacteria in sharks' mouths. Not only do dolphins recover from "basketball-sized" bites, they regenerate the missing flesh and heal over with no scarring or sign of injury. "That's impossible," Zasloff told ABC, "truly impossible."
Zasloff theorizes that dolphins can produce stem cells that regenerate the bitten-off tissue, or any other kind of tissue that's needed. "The repair of a gaping wound to an appearance that is near normal requires the ability of the injured animal to knit newly formed tissues with the existing fabric of adipocytes, collagen and elastic fibers," Zasloff explained. "The dolphin's healing is similar to how mammalian fetuses are able to heal in the womb."
But what about infection? Even if the dolphin didn't fall prey to the shark's bacteria, swimming around in the ocean with an open wound invites infection. Zasloff thinks that dolphins may have their own little supply of antibiotics, siphoned off from other ocean creatures like plankton or algae when the dolphin eats them, and then stored in fat for later use.
Another mystery Zasloff has been pondering for the past nine years is why dolphins with these large wounds don't appear to be in pain. Zasloff notes that not showing weakness or pain is an evolutionary response (so that predators can't tell which animals are weak), but he thinks dolphins may make their own version of morphine. "I propose that the wound itself is releasing a pain-relieving substance, and it must be unbelievably powerful."
The dolphin's amazing ability to recover from wounds that would be catastrophic to humans could be a boon to researchers... if, that is,

O'HARE LIKE UFO SIGHTING/DANGEROUS OBJECTS OVER AIRPORTS

Here's a real interesting report of a largely unknown UFO report with a similarity or two to the O'Hare UFO Incident of 2006. The report you are about to read and see via the video is of a daytime UFO incident in Columbus Ohio on Feb. 23rd, 1984 - relatively close to the airport. The `rectangular-rotating-structure' was in the skies for upwards of 20 minutes. Only 32K views - deserving of more.

Description with video:
REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE OBJECTS ARE, REPORTS OF ANY OBJECT OVER AN AIRPORT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. EVEN A GOOSE CAN CAUSE AN AIRPLANE CRASH.

As in the November 7, 2006 O'Hare sighting, this object was rotating and over an airport. The observation occurred around 4 P.M. on February 23, 1984 over Hamilton Hall on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio. When the first witness, W1, sighted the object, from a stairwell under an east-facing window, it looked, in general, like a flying, rotating rectangle. Part of the time it had a bright light under it. It moved slowly, was on the flight path of Port Columbus Airport, and a low jet appeared to pass under it as W1 watched. W1 went to the department office and collected 4 other witnesses.

In general, it looked like a rectangle, which would disappear and then come back into view. During part of the observation, a much smaller, but very bright white light was under the rectangle. The object rotated at precise regular intervals of about once a minute. It didn't just twist randomly in the wind.

The witnesses watched it for approximately 20-25 minutes as, it slowly drifted toward Port Columbus airport. The witnesses asked if there were a telescope or camera in the building, but were unable to find one. By around
4:20, a witness called Warren Nicholson, who worked at the nearby Battelle Memorial Institute and who investigates UFO sightings. By this time, the object was nearly out of sight. Mr. Nicholson called back to say that he had looked for it from the roof of the main Battelle building, but had been unable to see it. He later said that he had checked with Port Columbus immediately and they told him the wind velocity was 0. They couldn't see it on radar.

Mr. Nicholson later said that that evening a family had also made a UFO report describing it as four lines in the sky. The father had taken pictures through a 1200 power telephoto lens with ASA 400 color film. The wife described the lines as tear drop shaped and the husband described each as shaped like an airplane's wing section. They were visible in the west and were dark. They then flew away in four different directions. Mr. Nicholson said the witnesses were very credible. He thought that many sightings in one day were a 'flurry' of activity.

So far, the object has never been identified. One characteristic noted by all witnesses was its regular rotation and rectangular appearance. No balloon shape was seen. It would be quite difficult for a balloon to continually rotate regularly, because wind currents would prevent this. The rotation was very regular, not a twisting in the wind (and there was no wind). In addition, there would need to be some sort of power plant and a method of propulsion to allow it to maintain its rotation.

As in the O'Hare observation, all witness was credible. All now have Ph.D.s and have been or are university professors. The reports were collected from each individual witness independently on or within a few days of the sighting and sent to the CUFOS. No one had any idea what the object was. Because of the lack of wind and the overhead power lines the witnesses were sure it wasn't a kite. A daytime sighting of a rotating object is very rare. The observation was reported in several books.

Rectangle Shaped Objects for all to see - we live in a Fortean World Indeed.

FOX News!!!UFO Flies Past On Live Broadcast Over D.C. Feb 23 2011

Remember that UFOs over Washington D.C. thing that was supposed to happen a week or two ago? (The Agency crappola.) Well, seems that this afternoon an orblike phenomena was seen in the background of a Fox News Report. The object in the video is only seen a few seconds and the poster makes some huge claims about these few seconds - nonetheless, it is interesting:

Amazing UFO over Cheltanham, UK - (night of the 30th January 2011)

Make sure you stick with this video until he does a close up at around the 40 seconds mark. WTH is this thing? Certainly seems to have `structure'. Even more amazing in the description posted with this video - which will follow the vid. (15K9Hviews)


Here is the description:
This video was filmed last night in Cheltenham UK - 30th January 2011

This is the un-stabilized version, here is teh stabilised one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYVjWB...

This UFO was there most of the night if not all of it, in the same spot, was completely silent and seemed to change colour from blue to yellow to red - you can see a bit of this as the camera zooms in. Any movement you do see is camera shake.

I did not film this - the guy who did gave this description of what he saw:

"Sunday night 30th Jan 2011 over Cheltenham UK. Crisp, clear, very cold night and we saw 3-4 lights which seemed brighter than the other stars. If you looked closer you could make out a few 'coloured' lights which seemed to be flashing and some of the them were moving slowly across the sky, inconsistently (starting/stopping). So we tried to video the brightest and eventually the zoom managed to focus and this is what came out...
I just wish I had a stronger zoom and a tripod! Strangely there was absolutely no sound at all, completely silent and this one was there all night long over my house. At about midnight we drove up to the masts which is the highest point in the area and with no city light distraction - we saw over 100 of these. All a variety of colours and some moving differently or just disappearing."
