DNA Reveals Greenland's Lush Past

In the region of Greenland, now covered with thick ice, armies of insects once crawled through lush forests. They extracted DNA from the ice cores and it showed moths and butterflies were living in forests of spruce and pine in the area between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago. They believe these DNAs are the oldest pure samples obtained. The ice cores also suggest that the ice sheet is more resistant to warming than previously thought according to the scientists.

Violence in Pakistan Escalates

Militants in northwest Pakistan disavowed a peace pact with the government and launched two days of suicide attacked and bombings that killed at least 70 people, dramatically escalating the violence in the al-Qaida infiltration. The attacks followed strident calls by extremists to avenge the government's bloody storming of Islamabad's Red Mosque and a declaration of Jihad, or holy war, by at least one pro-Taliban cleric.

White House Holds Firm On Iraq

The White House is holding firm in its Iraq strategy in the face of yet another effort to curb the mission. This time it is proposed by Republicans that the Bush administration can ill afford to lose. President Bush's security adviser, Stephen Hadley, said the administration's very orderly process for reviewing its Iraq plans should be allowed to play out despite a hurry-up initiative from two respected GOP senators.

Nigeria Works To Free Girl

A little three year old British girl was kidnapped in Nigeria by gunmen in the oil rich Niger Delta area. Authorities have stepped up efforts to free her. She was grabbed from a car on her way to school in Port Harcourt. Her mother says the kidnappers have threatened to kill the little girl unless her husband takes the little girl's place. He wanted to go down for his little girl but the police told him not to. I sure hope they get her back soon and unharmed.

What a Change In The Weather

A couple of days ago it was so hot you could hardly breathe and now you need a sweater this morning. It is to get to 80 degrees later today but right now it is about 50 degrees, I can't believe the neighbor is taking her kids to the pool early in the morning but I suppose the water is nice and warm.
