Finally – my very own race card!
Among the tale the genes tell: A few anatomically modern humans mated with Neanderthals, likely in North Africa or the Middle East as modern humans initially were moving out of Africa, the researchers say.
The team came to that conclusion after comparing the Neanderthal genome with those of five humans today: one each from Europe, Asia, and Papua New Guinea, and two from different regions of sub-Saharan Africa. They found that from 1 to 4 percent of the DNA in the genomes of people from Eurasia and the southwestern Pacific were inherited from Neanderthals. Neanderthal-derived genes failed to show up in the African genomes.
The results overturn what Dr. Pääbo calls the “hard out-of-Africa hypothesis” in which a small group of anatomically modern humans migrates from Africa “and replaced everyone else in the world without any admixture.” It’s entirely possible that African genomes also contain some other form of what Pääbo dubs “caveman biology” from more archaic hominins. “We just don’t know that yet,” he says.
But surely that tiny bit of Neandertal DNA is so low as to be irrelevant?
In the human brain, there is a set of three genes that generate more than 3,000 different genetic messages and these messages control how your neurons are wired together, he said. “That enables you to think and learn and all the wonderful things we like to do as humans.”
Before you comment, my dear leftie friends, let me remind you that in “knuckledragger”, the “k” is silent.

Odd. Why not ask CGI Group Inc. to pay for it?

Update: And now the Toronto taxpayers find their little website used for Liberal Party of Canada ends.
According to regulatory officials, “a huge, anomalous, unexplained surge in selling” happened at about 2:45 p.m. New York time, setting off trading based on computer algorithms, thus amplifying the fall.
“Somebody should hang this New York Stock Exchange,” Rogers said. “They claim to be the center of the world’s capitalism, of the world’s financial markets, you would think that in 2010 they could sort out simple things like electronics.”
A year ago, before anyone aside from a hundred or so people had ever heard the words High Frequency Trading, Flash orders, Predatory algorithms, Sigma X, Sonar, Market topology, Liquidity providers, Supplementary Liquidity Providers, and many variations on these, Zero Hedge embarked upon a path to warn and hopefully prevent a full-blown market meltdown.
This must be a mistake. Saskatchewan’s progressive enablement racket hands out 4 million harm-reducing wonder needles a year.
The head of the Saskatoon Tribal Council calls the rising rates of HIV in the province a “crisis” facing First Nations and Metis people.
The number of people testing positive for HIV in Saskatchewan is more than double the national average.
A spokeswoman with the province’s Health Ministry says there were 900 HIV-positive cases and 250 instances of full-blown AIDS in Saskatchewan in 2009.
Geraldine Arcand says the rising rates of HIV means it’s time for First Nations leaders to step up to the plate and do something about it.
Provincial officials say 75 per cent of new cases in the province can be linked to injection drug use.
Hey, can you say “victim compensation”?
I knew you could.
Question: What do you call a left wing columnist who makes “grown up jokes” calling for the rape of an 11 year old girl ?
Answer: “Victim”.

Imagine, if you will, that a “human” trader enters a “B” for billion instead of an “M” for million … and computers begin to sell off one of the primary stocks on the DOW on what is already an ugly day of selling. Other computers pick up the selling as stops are triggered … igniting a frenzy of sales. By the time it’s over the DOW has plunged like the Red Barron on his last outing… all because of a “B”:
In one of the most dizzying half-hours in stock market history, the Dow plunged nearly 1,000 points before paring those losses—all apparently due to a trader error.
According to multiple sources, a trader entered a “b” for billion instead of an “m” for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble [PG 60.75 -1.41 (-2.27%) ], a component in the Dow. (CNBC’s Jim Cramer noted suspicious price movement in P&G stock on air during the height of the market selloff. Watch.)
Sources tell CNBC the erroneous trade may have been made at Citigroup.
… on a cautionary note, the story is not yet confirmed … maybe it was simply a black box sell off … a wonderful cascade of digital destruction as machines, not humans, wreaked havoc.
Well, two things should be blatantly obvious to even the most dyed in the wool socialist now.
Events in London, Toronto, and Ottawa are scheduled for early June – details here. Sponsored by the IFPS, they will also be appearing with Michael Coren on Thursday, June 3rd at 6:00 pm.
One of McCloy’s drivers was stabbed and beaten with a machete April 23rd after the driver allegedly attempted to help the 14 year-old put his seat belt on. The attack left the cabbie with nearly 150 stitches, and several lost teeth.
“I’m absolutely appalled that [Judge Hugh Harradence] would release somebody who did such a violent attack on $100 bond. It just shows us how lame our judicial system is.” said McCloy.
Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs confiscates your school lunch, and the question facing British voters today is why anyone wants the job?
Whoever wins the election must make sorting out the public finances the top priority, the European commission warned on the eve of the poll, as it predicted the British budget deficit would swell this year to become the biggest in the European Union, overtaking even Greece.
The commission’s spring economic forecasts put the UK deficit for this calendar year at 12% of GDP, the highest of all 27 EU nations and worse than the Treasury’s own forecasts.
Polls close at 2100 GMT . You can follow election results later today with the Sky News election map.
One might just wonder. Will our media and opposition notice? One rather thinks they’d be jumping up and down asking if the horrible Harper government had given in to a similar call from the evil previous president; at the very least the opposition would be screaming to see the documents:
Obama gets weekly tutorials in terrorism
…
Sometimes the participants conclude that it is Obama who needs to take action. This was the case recently when intelligence officials reported having problems gaining cooperation from Canada on potential cross-border terrorism threats. After the meeting, Obama called Canadian officials to demand greater information-sharing, participants said…
I guess the Americans are not really aware that intelligence sharing is a somewhat sensitive issue—more–for the government up here.
Update: Regarding information sharing with the US:
…
Meanwhile, it emerged that information extracted by Canadian spies who interrogated Mr. Khadr in Guantanamo may be used against him, despite Ottawa’s belated efforts to have it suppressed.
The Obama administration has rejected Ottawa’s request to suppress information that Canadian Security and Intelligence Service agents and Foreign Affairs officials elicited from Mr. Khadr during interrogations in 2003 and 2004…
Not quite what besotted Canadian Obama-lovers thought they were getting, eh?
Anyone who has ever attended a memorial service and looked into those fading and frail blue and brown eyes of the veterans of the great wars has seen not fearless, superhuman characters , but rather modest and decent humans who risked everything in defense of freedom. Subsequent generations have been taught about the heroism and the glory, and the machinery of war, and tactics and the dates of key battles, and casualty figures, but no textbook can put us in their shoes; we will never walk strung-out, numb, and exhausted, down a muddy road in a foreign land, or experience the horrors they saw.
Tonight’s song is a paean to the frailty of human life, and to the persistence of love even in the face of final loss. We hear the voice of a doomed soldier whose hopes and dreams are too late for this world; even as he’s resigned to his fate, he yearns for home, seeing it more clearly by its impossible distance, as a woman’s voice rises, shining, immutable, and eternal like a diamond, amidst the horrors he will soon be freed from.
The melody is taken from the 17th century Irish air Fainne Gael an Lae, later known as The Dawning of the Day, and the lyrics were written by Jennifer Warnes. Here’s the biographically mysterious UK trio known as O3B singing the elegiac, haunting, and almost unbearably beautiful Too Late Love Comes.

Indeed. Because where the accused got the idea to put “car bomb” together with “civilian target” is a question that continues to confound authorities.

Just another chapter from Ali Baba and the forty peeves.
Egyptian intellectuals slammed calls to ban the Arabian Nights tale hundreds of years after its emergence in the literary scene under the pretext of immorality and warned of the ‘bedouinization’ of Egyptian culture.
A recent republication of the centuries-old classic triggered controversy as a group of Egyptian lawyers called to ban the new version on the basis of depiction of sexuality and use of offensive language.
I know what you’re thinking – “Egypt has intellectuals?”
“For example, the sexual relationship between the slave and the princess reveals how the marginalized are objectified and how in a repressive society the bodies of the members of royalty become a dream for the frustrated working class.”
Through the relationship he has with his mistress, Diab explains, the slave finds a means to conquer to the ruling class that oppresses him and his people.
Apparently they do!
