      Discusses the reason that the [second] oldest hominid fossil, Orrorin tugenensis, was bipedal or walked on two legs. "So they must have learnt to walk in the trees, using branches to help them adopt an upright manner. As the team point out, Orrorin had curved hand and arm bones, typical of a creature that used to hang on to vines and creepers as it moved about." 5-02

  9. Cherokee or Tsalagi Language (Native-Language.org)
      Provides resources on the language, history, and culture of the Cherokee."

      " 'Cherokee' is Creek for 'people with another language'. (It's really amazing how white settlers always managed to learn some other tribe's name for any group of Indians. They learned the Creek word for Cherokee, but not the Creek word for themselves.) Anyway, our original name for ourselves was Aniyunwiya, but Cherokee is fine too (though we say it Tsalagi--there's no R in our language). There are about 350,000 Cherokee people today, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina." 10-05

  12. Landmark Case - United States v. Carolene Products Co. (Britannica.com)
      "In an otherwise unremarkable case regarding federal regulation of milk content (United States v. Carolene Products Co.), Justice Harlan Fiske Stone announced that Congress had the power to regulate interstate commerce, and if it chose to set minimal standards for milk quality, that was the business of the legislative and not the judicial branch."

      "Immediately following this statement, however, Stone inserted his famous Footnote 4, which asserted that in noneconomic regulation cases, the Court might adopt a higher level of scrutiny. Footnote 4 has been the basis for the Supreme Court's subsequent judgments in cases protecting the integrity of the political process or involving so-called "suspect" classifications, such as race, creed, alienage, religion and gender. The Court has assumed an obligation to examine these statutes carefully, to ensure that individual liberties have not been abridged."

      "While there had been some cases involving individual liberties prior to this decision, the footnote is the demarcation point in the Court's shift to an emphasis on protecting civil rights and liberties, as well as the integrity of the democratic political process." 01-06

  14. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria (Wikipedia.org)
      "Athanasius of Alexandria (also spelled "Athanasios") (c.298–May 2, 373) was a Christian bishop, the Patriarch of Alexandria, in the fourth century. He is revered as a saint by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, and regarded as a great leader and doctor of the Church by Protestants."

      "In about 319, when Athanasius was a deacon, a presbyter named Arius began teaching that there was a time before God the Father begot Jesus when the latter did not exist. Athanasius accompanied Alexander to the First Council of Nicaea in 325, which council produced the Nicene Creed and anathematized Arius and his followers. On May 9, 328, he succeeded Alexander as bishop of Alexandria. As a result of rises and falls in Arianism's influence, he was banished from Alexandria only to be later restored on at least five separate occasions, perhaps as many as seven." 06-06

  15. -05-16-07 Antarctic Waters Yield Hundreds of Species (MSNBC News)
      "Carnivorous sponges, blind creepy-crawlies adorned with hairy antennae and ribbed worms are just some of the new characters found to inhabit the dark abysses of the Southern Ocean, an alien abode once thought devoid of such life." 5-07

  16. Stopping Municipal Water Leaks (Christian Science Monitor)
      "Though finally solved, the mystery of the creek that was a leak is an example of how utility districts in the US can't account for 6 billion gallons of drinking water each day. If all that lost water were collected over the course of a year, it would fill Gatun Lake, the huge reservoir that feeds the Panama Canal."

      "Georgia recently began requiring counties seeking water-withdrawal permits to first check their waterworks for leaks. Three other states, including Tennessee, are tightening water audit requirements, and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) has persuaded 300 communities to take part in a public-service campaign called 'Only Tap Water Delivers,' in part prompted by mounting water losses." 10-07

  17. Global Warming and the Threat to Food (U.S. News)
      "Historically, the damage to food supplies by bad weather has been regarded as fleeting: catastrophic in the short term but ultimately remitting. Droughts ease, floodwaters recede, and farmers replant their crops. But as a new government report indicates, such views are increasingly narrow and outdated, in that they fail to acknowledge the creeping reach of global climate change." 07-08

  18. Making Heat-Resistent Kiln Bricks (SilverCeramicsSystems.com)
      "It is important to note that it is easily possible to improve the capability of a kiln to reach higher temperatures, simply by enclosing it, sealing it against a lot of heat loss. Next we need to consider that the biggest cost of kilns is the high tech bricks so widely believed to be necessary. But the reality is that in brick production the simple addition of common 'creek sand' to a common, red firing earthenware clay, plus sawdust, can be easily undertaken by those who are in the business of producing building brick. This will give a heat resistant brick for kiln construction, at little additional cost to that of ordinary building brick."

      "In practice, in making the brick it may be a good idea to use 75% clay to 25% creek sand, then whatever amount of sawdust, whether hard brick or insulating."

      "And sawdust, at about 60 mesh, can be burned out, leaving voids in the brick. Sawdust can contribute greatly to an insulating brick, cutting fuel costs and as an aid to environmental responsibility." 07-09
