text: SOS: Secure Overlay Services Keromytis Misra Rubenstein Overview DoS attacks Problem Scenario SOS: Operation-Architecture Experimental Results Conclusion DoS attacks A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users. They are implemented by forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately. Problem Scenario Allow moderate number of legitimate users to communicate with a target destination, where: Target is difficult to replicate (e.g., info highly dynamic) legitimate users may be mobile (source IP address may change) DoS attackers will attempt to stop communication to the target SOS: The players (1/2) Target: the node/end-system/server to be protected from DOS attacks It will be filtered to only allow overlay traffic SOAP - Secure Overlay Access Point: the start point in for all traffic that will communicate with the target Handles authentication of users and traffic. Beacon:The end-point in a chord ring Beacon forwards traffic to the Secret Servlet Secret Servlet:The node that will communicate with a specific target or group of targets SOS: The players (2/2) Legitimate User: Authenticated Users communicate with the target Attacker:Try to stop users to communicate with the target SOS Architecture SOS Operation: Step1 ->Filtering Routers near the target apply simple packet filter based on IP address legitimate users' IP addresses allowed through illegitimate users' IP addresses aren't Problems: good and bad users have same IP address bad users know good user's IP address and spoofs legitimate users are mobile and don't have fixed IPs SOS Operation: Step2 ->Proxies Install Proxies outside the filter whose IP addresses are permitted through the filter proxy only lets verified packets from legitimate sources through the filter Problems: Once attackers know th IP of a proxy they can spoof packets with its IP an reach the target Attackers directly attack on the proxy to drag it down SOS Operation: Step 3 -> Secret Servlets Keep the identity of the proxy hidden! a hidden proxy is called a Secret Servlet only target, the secret servlet itself, and a few other points in the network know the secret servlet's identity (IP address) SOS Operation: Step 4 –> Overlay routing Send traffic to the secret servlet via a network overlay nodes in virtual network are often end-systems verification/authentication of "legitimacy" of traffic can be performed at each overlay end-system hop SOS Operation: Step 5 –> Soaps Advertise a set of nodes that can be used by the legitimate user to access the overlay these access nodes participate within the overlay called Secure Overlay Access Points (SOAPs) User SOAP across overlay Secret Servlet (through filter) target SOS Operation: Chord routing Must get from SOAP to Secret Servlet in a "hard-to-predict manner": But random routing routes are long (O(n)) Routes should not "break" as nodes join and leave the overlay (i.e., nodes may leave if attacked) Current proposed version uses DHT routing (e.g., Chord, CAN, PASTRY, Tapestry). We consider Chord: A distributed protocol, nodes are used in homogeneous fashion Chord utilizes consistent hashing to map an identifier, I, to a unique node h(I) = B in the overlay Implements a route from any node to B containing O(log N) overlay hops, where N = # overlay nodes SOS Operation: Overview Routers in the filtered region only accept traffic from the secret servlets. The site selects one or more secret servlets. The informed secret servlet node will compute keys for each of the overlay nodes that will act as beacons. Servlets will contact the beacons that they identified and let them know of their existence and the beacons will then store the information. When a source wants to communicate with a target, it sends the request to a SOAP to access the protected site. Using chord, the traffic is directed to a beacon. The beacon then routes it to the secret servlet. SOS Operation: Data routing Overview 1. Legitimate user forwards packet to SOAP 2. SOAP forwards verified packet to Beacon (via Chord) 3. Beacon forwards verified packet to secret servlet 4. Secret Servlet forwards verified packet to target Adding Redundancy in SOS Each special role can be duplicated if desired Any overlay node can be a SOAP The target can select multiple secret servlets Multiple Beacons can be deployed by using multiple hash functions An attacker that successfully attacks a SOAP, secret servlet or beacon brings down only a subset of connections, and only while the overlay detects and adapts to the attacks Why attacking SOS is difficult Attack the target directly (without knowing secret servlet ID): filter protects the target Attack secret servlets: They're hidden Attacked servlets -> "shut down" and target selects new servlets Attack beacons: beacons "shut down" (leave the overlay) and new nodes become beacons attacker must continue to attack a "shut down" node or it will return to the overlay Attack other overlay nodes: nodes shut down or leave the overlay, routing self-repairs Experimental Results Almost all overlay nodes must be attacked to achieve a high likelihood of DoS Implementation of SOS SOS can be implemented using existing software and standardized protocols Filtering: all high and medium-range routers, as well as most desktop and server operating systems, offer some high-speed packet classification scheme that can be used to implement the target perimeter filtering Authentication and authorization of sources: practically all commercial and free operating systems include an implementation of IPsec Tunneling: once traffic has entered the overlay network, it needs to be forwarded to other SOS nodes toward the beacon, and from there to the secret servlets. Standard traffic tunneling techniques and protocols can be used (IP-in-IP encapsulation, GRE encapsulation, or IPsec in "tunnel mode" Conclusion SOS protects a target from DoS attacks lets legitimate (authenticated) users through Approach Filter around the target Allow "hidden" proxies to pass through the filter Use network overlays to allow legitimate users to reach the "hidden" proxies Preliminary Analysis Results An attacker without overlay "insider" knowledge must attack majority of overlay nodes to deny service to target Magdalini Grammatikou

FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) — The West Texas Army post where military leaders this week announced the detection of radioactivity has received about 40 calls from people concerned about exposure.
Officials at Fort Bliss established a hotline after learning radioactive residue was recorded at a bunker where nuclear weapons were assembled and stored in the 1950s and 1960s.
Former workers in the area of Biggs Army Airfield, where the bunker is located on the sprawling post, called Wednesday expressing concern. Officials announced a day earlier that low levels of radiation were detected as part of an investigation that began about two months ago.
An epoxy was applied to the interior of the bunker but chipped away over the years, revealing contamination underneath.
The bunker has been used since 2003 to store rifles and other weapons.

The use of chains as collars or tethers to stake an animal is also outlawed by the ordinance. If a dog is tethered outside, the tether has to keep the dog at least three feet away from a public sidewalk. You can still use a chain collar or leash to walk a dog, you just can't tether them with it.
There are also clearer specifications for quality and quantity of food, water and shelter provided to a pet.
The second ordinance gives animal control and police officers the authority to write citations for violations of the updated city code. There will be a grace period for all the changes except for cases of improper ear cropping and tail docking. Citations for those offenses begin immediately.

This hotel is located on top of a bar which is open until 1:30am and on the three nights I stayed there (Monday 8/11 through Wednesday 8/13) there were drunk people below my room or sitting outside my window talking loud.This is not an appropriate place for family stay by any means. The hotel is placed on top of a bar which is open until 1:30 am and you will have loud music/drunk people outside your window using bad words. The hotel is dirty and has not been taken care of. The people who stay there seem rough. I ended up moving out one night early and hope to receive a refund for the night I had not stayed there.

Generally, applying 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week using overhead sprinklers will leave the root zones of your plants moist enough to encourage optimum growth. This method of watering works for annuals and groundcovers, as well as perennials, shrubs, trees and lawns.

Not actually a very exciting selection of beers, although I was glad to see Murphy's Stout the other day, and I think it's a pretty decent selection for a regular Irish pub. The food is very good for pub style, the service is usually friendly and fast . The atmosphere is fun, good music scene, lively, and it's a great location-- easy to head off onto the next place from Bull Feeney's. This is a good place to grab some hearty grub before you move on to places with more beers to choose from. Novare is a close walk away.

Can a man get a drink in this place? I sure couldn't. Two bars, four bartenders, and I still could only get one round of beers. If I ever go to this place again, which I doubt, I will ask my wife to go get the drinks and see if she fares any better. I know it became a joke for the increasingly long line of guys waiting to get served as the ladies walked up and immediately walked away with drinks.

Centrally located in historic Old Port, Bull Feeney's is as fine an Irish pub as you'll find this side of Kilkenny – or Biddeford, anyway. Set behind a pair of grand Palladian windows overlooking busy Fore Street, this convivial pub is a grand place to share a pint or craic (not that kind!). There is here a well-worn rustic atmosphere that makes one long for the Auld Sod. This sprawling pub is heavily festooned with every kind of Irish bric-a-brac: medicine jars, signboards, road markers and the mandatory "Guinness Is Good" posters. In addition to the lengthy bar, which is overlooked by an imposing battalion of Irish whiskey bottles, there is a comfortable dining room and an upstairs. Of course, no Irish pub would be worth a shamrock if the comely server did not pour a perfect pint of the Guinness. There is also live music should you wish to shake the sawdust from the floorboards.
Bull Feeney offers plenty of local Maine beer on tap along with a serious supply of single malt scotch; however, it is the aforementioned Guinness that makes the place shine. The food menu contains many Irish favorites, including a pulled pork sandwich braised in Guinness barbecue sauce. Or as Michaleen Flynn from John Ford's "The Quiet Man" might have said: "When I drink Guinness, I drink Guinness, and when I …."
Speaking of John Ford, it is he who this pub honors. Born John Martin Feeney, he played football at Portland High School. His habit of lowering his helmet to charge his opponents earned him the name "Bull." It is his picture that adorns the front sign. This is an excellent pub where no patty fingers are tolerated.

First off: good editing. RickiHazel did a wonderful job incorporating Dean and Castiel into the scene with Henry, John, and Sherlock (The Hounds of Baskerville). My only criticism is of the phone conversation between Sam, Amy, and the Doctor. The audio is a bit difficult to pick up on Sam's end.
However, once that conversation passes, the rest of the video continues to incorporate clips of the three shows (and audio from Eleven) well.

America's fifty states have a lot in common, but if their internet search histories are any indication they also have significant differences. Estately ran hundreds of search queries through Google Trends to determine which words, terms, and questions each state was searching for more than any other. The results ranged from mildly amusing to completely disturbing. No doubt this information will come in handy for anyone trying to decide which state they want to buy a home in, especially for those curious how their potential neighbors spend their time online.

Injury Reports:
Domenik Hixon- Hamstring- Probable
Marquise Goodwin- Hand- Out
Dustin Hopkins- right groin- Out
The Panthers:
Rumors of Cam Newton's demise have been greatly exaturated. Afterall, he did face a stout Seattle defense in week one. It gets much easier this week and Newton will bounce back nicely with a 300+ yard passing game and two to three scores along with another 35 yards on the ground. Welcome back Cam!
DeAngelo Williams enjoyed week one in the big boy chair and gave his owners 90 combo yards. He'll continue that in week 2 with a nice 100 yard combo game and a rushing score. Enjoy it while you can.
A few years ago we assumed Steve Smith's fantasy production would rapily decline. Not only has the Smith found the fountain of youth, he's producing top 15 WR numbers. He'll go over 100 again this week and catch a Newton score.
I like Greg Olsen this week as well. He'll catch the other Newton score and hit around 80 yards.
While I would keep kicker Graham Gano on the bench, the defense is worth a look this week and could put up double digit scores.
The Bills:
I don't like rookie EJ Manuel this week. If you are going with Manual, he should pull in with around 215 yards and an additional 40 on the ground.
CJ Spiller had carries and yards sniped by Fred Jackson and gave owners that took him early in the first round pause. He'll bounce back this week, with near 100 combo yards and a score.
I don't recommend the passing game because Manual is going through OJT. Stevie Johnson will have around 90 yards so roll with him if you must.
Dan Carpenter and the defense belong on your bench.

At least three different apartments were infested in this building, the two latest ones being infested in April 2011. One of the infestations was resistant to treatment and needed more than one extermination. All of this was admitted in a letter from the board president to the tenants of the building. Before that, the board had a policy of keeping it all hush hush.

Tom Gregory (Hutton), a Los Angeles-based sports reporter, is flying into L.A. and lands his private plane after a rough descent through some kind of opaque midair disturbance, only to find the airport deserted. He meets Professor Galvin (Burton) and his two daughters, Bonnie (Judee Morton) and Lisa (Susan Hart), who tell him that the city has been overrun by huge, hulking, slime-covered subterraneans called Slime People, who appeared out of the sewers and other underground water concentrations. Appearing out of a strange thick fog apparently generated by a device of their own, they've killed hundreds, possibly thousands, panicked the population, fought the army to a standstill, and have now cut off the city with a wall of solidified fog. The professor's reasoning that salt would be effective against slug-like creatures gives them a weapon against the Slime People. But clearing them all out and freeing the city requires an assault against the creatures' own stronghold, which becomes even more essential when Bonnie is taken prisoner.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page.

Bellevue police are looking for a woman they believe robbed the Factoria Brown Bear car wash Thursday morning.
A woman entered the convenience store at the Chevron gas station and adjacent car wash about 6:20 a.m. and asked the clerk for cigarettes, according to the Bellevue Police Department. When the employee turned around to face the cigarette counter, she noticed the woman had dropped a handgun. The woman picked up the handgun and demanded cash from the till.
The clerk complied with the woman's demands and the woman left the store with cigarettes and cash.
Police were unable to find the robber. They hope members of the public can offer tips on the robber or the incident.
Detectives consider the woman "armed and dangerous."
She is described as a light-skinned woman in her 20s, 5 feet tall or shorter and about 100 pounds. She may have green eyes. She was seen wearing faded blue jeans, a dark-colored hooded jacket, gray fingerless gloves with green accents, a scarf and dark-colored athletic shoes with light blue or green laces.
The weapon brandished appeared to be a large-framed semi-automatic pistol, dark gray or silver.
Police ask anyone with information to call Detective Jerry Johnson at 425-452-2754.

Microsoft's five new Office Servers give Office 2007 users a wealth of new features and capabilities. We examine how in this four-part series, starting with SharePoint 2007Follow @infoworld
My last concern is for larger companies, those for which Microsoft says it designed the product:,price. SharePoint is not cheap. With all that performance overhead, chances are you're going to need multiple servers: that's about five grand a pop, not counting hardware and Windows. Then the client licenses are cumulative. You'll need to buy a Standard CAL and then an Enterprise CAL on top if you're into the Enterprise feature set. That's a total of $169 per desk, not to mention that Office SharePoint Server is a little insistent on having Microsoft Office on those desktops, too, and not the Small Business Version. The capabilities and features you're getting with SharePoint can certainly make this investment useful, but your budget's going to feel it out of the gate.
Remember, SharePoint is a vast Las Vegas buffet of truly useful (and thus potentially dangerous) collaboration features. That's what makes it scary. But Microsoft has done a decent job of allowing administrators to limit access to these features, meaning you can roll them out when you're ready rather than causing feature chaos at the outset. So take advantage.

Earlier this week it was reported that the UFC would be in Brazil for Republic Day (November 15th), exactly one day before UFC 167: GSP vs. Hendricks. It would've been their 6th trip to Brazil this year, but MMA Junkie reports that there will not be a November 15th event after all.
Sources close to the promotion indicated that preliminary talks to host a Nov. 15 event in Brazil may have taken place at some point but that UFC officials never formally confirmed such plans.
The article did go on to say that a return to the South American country before the end of the year is still possible.
While the UFC may not be in Brazil on November 15th, they have formally announced UFC on Fox Sports 1 #3 in Belo Horizonte on September 4th. The main event of Glover Teixeira/Ryan Bader is confirmed, as well as the co-main event between Ronaldo Souza and Yushin Okami and a main card flyweight feature between Joseph Benavidez and Jussier Formiga.

By LORI A. CARTER
Petaluma city leaders are working to shore up federal opposition to a potential casino on 277 acres south of city limits, land owned by the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians.
Councilman Mike Healy, an attorney who has done legal work on behalf of opponents of the Graton Rancheria's Rohnert Park casino, this week asked his fellow council members to sign a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, enlisting their help.
The Dry Creek Rancheria has submitted an application to the federal government to take the tribe's six parcels along Highway 101 near Kastania Road into trust. While that move is necessary for approval of gaming activity, tribe representatives have said their plans don't include a casino there.
Local officials have been briefed on the tribe's plans for a housing and public sports complex on the rolling hillside land between Highway 101 and the Petaluma River south of Shollenberger Park.
Dry Creek Chairman Harvey Hopkins couldn't be reached Tuesday for further details on the tribe's trust application. A decision from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs could take years.
The Dry Creek tribe operates River Rock Casino near Geyserville, but the planned November opening of Graton's Rohnert Park casino is expected to siphon off millions of dollars in River Rock's gambling profits.
The Petaluma-area location has widely been seen as an opportunity for the Dry Creek tribe to leapfrog Graton's casino to capture northbound customers.
The tribe has owned the Petaluma-area land since 2005, when it first submitted a trust application that included a casino. That application has since expired.
Healy said he wants to be able to trust assurances from the tribe that a casino isn't in the picture now.
But a draft of the letter highlights that potential, which is only possible if the property is taken into trust.
"The tribe has long had the ability to develop the property consistent with applicable local zoning," it states. "The only point of taking the property into trust would be an effort to override local zoning and other state laws."
Other council members said they would offer suggestions and revisions to the letter, which the council will discuss Aug. 5.
Healy said the Dry Creek tribe's plan for an on-site fire station is curious, noting that the San Antonio Volunteer Fire Department is less than a mile away.
"Thus, it is not alarmist to question the tribe's long-term noninterest in developing a casino," the draft letter states.
The land also has no water or sewer service, which would create tall hurdles to any major development.
The North Marin Water District, whose aqueduct provides Russian River water to other parcels in the area south of Petaluma, was to discuss the tribe's plans at its meeting Tuesday night.
District General Manager Chris DeGabriele said district policy precludes service to the tribe's land: "The property … is not currently served by NMWD and we have no interest in serving said property."
Petaluma could offer to extend city utilities to the site with assurances that no casino would be built, although that would take voter approval. In a 2006 advisory ballot measure, Petaluma voters opposed a casino on the land by a 4-to-1 margin.
Healy said Tuesday the city could also offer recycled wastewater to the site to irrigate crops or vineyards, since the land is currently zoned for agriculture.

Sonoma county looks better with cows, not casinos. Really what kind of native American would support gambling over mother nature?
If Sonoma County is to be the Las Vegas of the north bay, bring it on. Maybe it'll force each party into giveaway competition to attract suckers, err customers, like back when Reno casinos paid bus riders just to set foot in their gambling dens. Halleluiah! Wine and gambling, what more economic development could a citizen want?
I don't care if it is closer for northbound traffic. Any casino there will suffocate from being so close to the monster in Rohnert Park. The truth lies elsewhere.
The County of Marin does not have the ability to run a sewer line to this site. The water line that they run in that area barely has the capacity to supply their current needs. There is hardly any groundwater available on that particular site and it is too low for them to process the sewage themselves. So any water and sewage connection would have to come from Petaluma. They hold the ball on this one and any cooperation by the city for development in that area would have to be voter approved due to a previous ballot measure passed that prohibits development in this area.
Somehow I think that this all has to do with supplying water and sewage hookups to the proposed Dutra asphalt plant. David Rabitt has never publicly come out against it and Ami Dutra is a major campaing contributor and supporter of his. Can you say "in the pocket">
Besides, this is Miwok land. River Rock Casino is likely to die off from the competition in Rohnert Park so the the Pomo's are reservation shopping.

|2-vehicle crash in Van Wert County claims life of Melrose teen
|Thursday, March 06, 2014 9:00 AM
GROVER HILL – The Ohio State Highway Patrol's Van Wert Post is investigating a fatal crash that occurred at 2:55 p.m. Wednesday, March 5 on Ohio 637 near Elm Sugar Road in Hoaglin Township, Van Wert County.
Dead is Robert A. Seffernick, age 17, of Melrose.
According to troopers, a 2002 Chrysler Sebring, driven Seffernick, was northbound on Ohio 637. He lost control on the snow-covered roadway and slid left of center and was struck by a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by David Simko, age 64, of Toledo. The Jeep overturned and both vehicles came to rest off the west side of the roadway.
Seffernick sustained fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead on scene by the Van Wert County Coroner. Seffernick was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash.
Simko was extricated from his vehicle by emergency personnel on scene and transported by Samaritan LifeFlight helicopter to Parkview North Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne with serious injuries. Simko was wearing his seat belt and also had front and side air bag deployment, which minimized his injuries.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash and the investigation is ongoing.
Assisting at the scene were the Paulding County Sheriff's Office, Grover Hill Volunteer Fire and EMS, Brickner EMS, Parkview Samaritan, Delpha Chevy Towing, and Straightline Auto Body.

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA—Officials from the Norton Simon Museum have agreed to return a tenth-century statue known as the Bhima, or Temple Wrestler, after talks with government officials from Cambodia. The Bhima is one of several statues thought to have been looted from the Koh Ker site during the 1970s. One of them is the Bhima's twin, the Duryodhana, which had recently been put up for auction, but will also be returned to Cambodia. "These statues were all plundered from Cambodia. They are war loot. They are stolen property," Tess Davis, a cultural heritage attorney and an affiliate researcher at the University of Glasgow, told the Los Angeles Times. The museum had purchased the statue from an art dealer in New York in 1976.
ISTANBUL, TURKEY—A wooden object dating to the ninth century has been discovered within one of the 37 ships uncovered in the Yenikapı area of Istanbul, which was known as Theodosius Port during the Byzantine period. "We found something like today's notebook. It is made of wood and can be opened like a notebook. It has a few pages and you can take notes using was. Also, when you draw its sliding part, there are small weights used as an assay balance," Ufuk Kocabaş of Istanbul University told Hurriyet Daily News. Sixty percent of the sunken ship was preserved, and a replica of it is being built. The amphoras it had been carrying suggest that its crew had traded from Crimea to Kersonesos.
SILIFKE, TURKEY—Treasure hunters have reportedly blown up an ancient tomb carved from rock at the archaeological site of Olba, which is located on the Mediterranean coast in southern Turkey. Emel Erten of Gazi University blames the closure of a local police station for the destruction. "The ancient city has had a watch guard for the last eight months. But this last event proves that it is not enough. Our fears came true and one of the most precious pieces in the ancient city of Olba was damaged greatly," she told Hurriyet Daily News. The closest police station is a half-hour away.
BURSA, TURKEY—A Roman-era basilica has been discovered in the ancient city walls of Bursa, which is located in northwestern Turkey. The rectangular-shaped structure had marble columns and painted walls. "This basilica served both as a court and a religious structure in the early Roman era. It is possibly the oldest structure in the city after the walls," architect Ibrahim Yilmaz, who is in charge of the restoration of the walls and two of its towers, told Hurriyet Daily News. The basilica was discovered in the lower levels of one of the towers and will be restored.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA—Geoglyphs created by the Paracas people some 2,000 years ago in Peru's Chincha Valley probably pointed the way across the desert to gathering places for the winter solstice, according to Charles Stanish of the University of California, Los Angeles. Stanish and his team plotted the geoglyphs and the remains of settlements and ceremonial mounds and found that certain groups of geoglyphs led to particular mounds or settlements. He says that different political or ethnic groups created these signposts, which were visible from great distances, by clearing darker soil away from the white limestone. "They would be unmistakable," Stanish told Science Now. A second type of geoglyph made of rocks was visible when the travelers approached them. "They're converting this landscape into a big theater, and the ultimate goal is to bring people together to market, exchange goods, manufacture goods, exchange marriage partners, gossip, do all the things people like doing. And then they're competing with each other to bring in the most supporters," he explained.
CORTEZ, COLORADO—Hopi stonemasons led by Herschel Talashoma are working at the Cajon Canyon site at Hovenweep National Monument, as part of a restoration project to stabilize the thirteenth-century ruins affected by erosion and modern visitors. Previous conservation efforts in the 1940s and 1960s used concrete, but an acrylic polymer mixed with earth and mortar are now employed to strengthen the double-stone construction. "There's always a learning process to stabilization. The terrain, the weather, the exposure: every site and situation is different," National Park Service archaeologist Noreen Fritz told the Cortez Journal. Talashoma is keeping detailed records of all of the work he and his team have done at Hovenweep. "The work is important so future generations can enjoy these sites," he explained.
MADEIRA, MACARONESIA—Dates for a sample of fossilized bone from a house mouse suggest that the rodents were carried to the island of Madeira by European colonists before A.D. 1036, or 400 earlier than previously thought. (The Portuguese took possession of Madeira in 1419.) "Current populations of house mice on Madeira show similarities in mitochondrial DNA with those in Scandinavia and northern Germany, but not with those in Portugal," Josep Antoni Alcover of the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies told Phys.org. Could the mice have traveled to the island with the Vikings? Further morphologic and genetic studies of the fossils are needed. "There are no historical references so far about the Vikings traveling to Macaronesia," Alcover added.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK—An excavation in Lower Manhattan has unearthed liquor bottles, plates, and mugs from a nineteenth-century German beer garden that was known as Atlantic Garden, and the colonial-era Bull's Head Tavern, built in the 1740s by a butcher near New York City's first slaughterhouse. "The Atlantic Garden was actually a tourist destination in its day—it was known for its German food and beer, and as a place for music and parties. It was built over the Bull's Head Tavern, a place where travelers, many selling their cattle, stopped in for food, drink, to socialize or spend the night," Alyssa Loorya, president of Chrysalis Archaeology, told DNAinfo New York. The site is located along The Bowery, which was once the only road in and out of Manhattan.
QUESADA, SPAIN—A UNESCO-listed rock-art panel estimated to be 5,000 years old was destroyed by thieves who tried to remove it from the wall of Los Escolares Cave, according to a report in The Local. Visitors to the cave, located along the Mediterranean coast, noticed the chip marks and rock fragments on the floor. "A lot of these places are abandoned and need greater supervision. Although there is legislation protecting these sites in theory, there is a lack of political will," said José Antonio Berrocal, president of the Speleology Federation of Andalusia.
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS—Egypt's pyramid-builders may have used water to move massive stone blocks across the desert sands. Physicists at the University of Amsterdam tested the method shown in a wall painting in the tomb of Djehutihotep, which dates to 1900 B.C. In the painting, 172 men haul a statue with ropes attached to a sledge. A person standing on the front of the sledge pours water over the sand—an action that Egyptologists had reportedly labeled a ceremonial act. Tests have shown, however, that the right amount of water helps the sledges to glide across the surface of the sand. "If you use dry sand, it won't work as well, but if the sand is too wet, it won't work either. There's an optimum stiffness," Daniel Bonn told Live Science.
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA—The H.L. Hunley, a Civil War-era submarine, will be immersed in a caustic bath that will remove the concretion of sand and shell that accumulated on its 40-foot-long iron hull. The procedure will also extract salt from the hull so that the Hunley can eventually be displayed without immersing it in water. Once the sediment has loosened the scientists at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center will begin to scrape it off. "Under that concretion is the possibility of new information about the attack," archaeologist Michael Scafuri told The Post and Courier. The submarine sank and disappeared in 1864 after it rammed a torpedo into the USS Housatonic.
WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND—The parish of Amesbury has been continuously inhabited in every millennia since 8820 B.C., making it the oldest settlement in Britain, according to carbon dates obtained from the bones of aurochs unearthed at the Mesolithic Blick Mead site. Located just one and a half miles from Stonehenge, "the site blows the lid off the Neolithic revolution in a number of ways. It provides evidence for people staying put, clearing land, building and presumably worshipping monuments," David Jacques of the University of Buckingham told The Express. The first monuments at Stonehenge consisted of enormous pine posts that were put in place between 8820 and 6590 B.C. Residents of Blick Mead would have traveled the River Avon to the ritual area for feasting, and perhaps for the bright pink flint that wasn't available anywhere else in the country. Stonehenge was eventually erected after the long-term use of the area in 3000 B.C.
ELCHE, SPAIN—A team of researchers from the University Miguel Hernández concludes that interactions with scavengers, such as vultures, hyenas, and lions, have been crucial to the evolution and welfare of humanity. "At first, the interaction was primarily competitive, but when humans went from eating carrion to generating it, scavengers highly benefited from the relationship," Marcos Moleón and José Antonio Sánchez Zapata explained in Science Daily. Language, cooperative partnership, and cultural diversity were all probably the result of selective pressures brought on by this competition with scavengers, they argue.
LONDON, ENGLAND—Four rare deposits of artifacts have been unearthed in the western valley area of the Valley of the Kings. "Previously discovered foundation deposits in the Valley of the Kings have always been associated with a nearby tomb," wrote Afifi Ghonim, of the Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities, in a report cited by Live Science. According to Ghonim, who presented the discovery at the Current Research in Egyptology conference, foundation deposits are placed in front of a tomb or temple when construction begins, and usually include miniature versions of the tools used in the project, miniature offering vessels, and food offerings. These four offerings had been placed in a box shape, but there is usually a fifth placed on the axis of the tomb. "We found the four deposits that make up the box, but not the fifth. Perhaps it too is there, awaiting discovery in front of the tomb," Ghonim explained. Precise dates for the deposits could help explain what happened.
AUSTIN, TEXAS—John Speth of the University of Michigan thinks that Neanderthals probably boiled their food. Speth, who recently presented his ideas at a meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, speculates that Neanderthals boiled their food in skin bags or in trays crafted from twisted birch bark, citing as evidence animal bones at Neanderthal sites that are free of gnawing marks, suggesting that the fat had been removed by cooking, and grains found in the teeth of a Neanderthal from Iraq that show signs of having been cooked. "You can boil in just about anything as long as you take it off the flame pretty quickly," he told National Geographic Daily News. It is known that Neanderthals made birch tar for hafting spear points by heating birch bark in oxygen-free holes. Evidence of boiling by modern humans dates to some 26,000 years ago, after the demise of the Neanderthals, and consists of stones that had been heated in fire pits and dropped into water.
LEIDEN, NETHERLANDS—Will Roebroeks of Leiden University and Paola Villa of Boulder's University of Colorado Museum surveyed the archaeological record for evidence to support the idea that the Neanderthals died out because modern humans were better hunters with better weapons and a broader diet. "The explanations make good stories, but the only problem is that there is no archaeology to back them up," Roebroeks told The Guardian. Villa adds that it is important to compare Neanderthals to their modern human contemporaries, not their successors. "The evidence for cognitive inferiority is simply not there. What we are saying is that the conventional view of Neanderthals is not true," she said.
SELKIRK, SCOTLAND—Work on water pipes in the Scottish Borders has uncovered pivot stones used as hinges for doors, coins, imported pottery, and stone game pieces from a medieval village thought to have been known as Philiphaugh. Clay pipes for tobacco and glass bottles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were also found. "The radiocarbon dates confirm activity in the period from 1472 to 1645. Although the artifacts were recovered from the lower plow soil rather than sealed archaeological contexts, they too support a late fifteenth to seventeenth century date," archaeologist Susan Ramsay told Culture 24.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA—A "complex pattern of episodic violence" spanning 5,000 years has been identified in California from a survey of more than 16,000 burials, from 13 different ethnic groups, unearthed between the Sierra Nevada and the San Francisco Bay. The most common type of violence recorded in the survey was caused by projectiles such as arrows or atlatl darts, found in 7.2 percent of the burials. Blunt force trauma head to the head was seen in 4.3 percent of the hunter-gatherer burials. Just under one percent of the burials showed evidence of dismemberment. "Many people still seem to think that prehistoric California was a violence-free paradise, but the archaeological record shows clearly that that was not the case. People are people, and most of us believe that an inclination to resort to violence in certain situations is part of the human condition," Terry Jones of California Polytechnic State University told Western Digs. The first spike in the violence may have been linked advances in technology, in the form of the atlatl, and the migration of many hunter-gatherer groups to new regions. The second spike took place between 1720 and 1899, when Europeans arrived on the scene. "The introduction of a new weapon system—the bow and arrow—definitely changed the social and political landscape, increasing inter-group conflict," Jones added.
TUSCSON, ARIZONA—Science Now reports that the site of Aşıklı Höyük, located along the Melendiz River in central Turkey, is offering archaeologists new insight into the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and herding between 9,500 and 10,500 years ago. Earlier layers of the settlement contain botanical remains related to the cultivation of cereals, lentils, and nuts, and the bones of a wide variety of wild animals. But, according to zooarchaeologist Mary Stiner of the University of Arizona, by 10,200 years ago, fewer wild animal bones and more sheep bones are found. By 9,500 years ago, nearly 90 percent of the bones unearthed at the site were coming from sheep. And, the ages and sex patterns of the bones, even though they still resembled the bones of wild sheep, suggest that they came from a managed herd. Dung deposits from the stabled sheep were discovered between the houses of the settlement. Stiner and her team suggest that the wild sheep were probably less aggressive than other animals and so early farmers kept them in the village as a matter of convenience.
ROME, ITALY—Biological anthropologist Gabriele Scorrano of the University of Rome Tor Vergata led a study of the 2,000-year-old skeletal remains of a young woman unearthed at the Cosa archaeological site on Italy's Tuscan coast. The results of the tests indicate that she may have suffered from celiac disease. DNA analysis revealed that she carried two copies of an immune system gene variant associated with the severe allergic reaction to gluten in the intestinal lining, and her bones show signs of malnutrition and osteoporosis, which can be complications of the untreated disease. Gold and bronze jewelry included in the burial suggest that her malnutrition was not caused by a lack of access to food. "If she had excluded cereals from her diet she wouldn't have experienced these problems. Probably she didn't understand she had this disease," Scorrano told Nature News.
