pterosaurian <sep> kamberg , south africa ( cnn ) -- sunlight sparkles through the drops of water that tumble off the edge of the cliff . painted on the rock face behind the tiny waterfall are a pair of faded eland , the largest antelope in africa . behind them are two barely visible human figures . this is a sacred place , ' says raphael mnkhati , a guide from the kamberg rock art center . water is important for all life , and it was important for the people who lived here . ' the tiny cave behind the waterfall is only one of thousands of such hidden , secret shelters in the drakensberg-ukahlamba mountains of south africa . they were the home of the bushmen , the original inhabitants of this country , who fled to these mountains to escape other africans moving down from the north of the continent and white settlers moving up from the cape . the bushmen were wiped out in the countless conflicts that resulted . read previous david mckenzie and world cup in a winnebago today they are a vanished people , but their legacy remains in the vibrant paintings they left behind on the rock walls of their shelters . it 's hard to date these paintings , ' raphael explains . some could even be as old as 8,000 years . ' scattered throughout these mountains are some 60,000 individual images , visible at about 600 different sites . the artists used the blood and fat of the eland as well as whitened clay , bird droppings and charcoal as pigments . the delicate lines of the figures were etched with twigs , porcupine quills and ostrich feathers . scientists believe that these figures were created by the bushmen while they were in trance states , and that the paintings reflect the people 's deep reverence for the beauty and power of the natural world that surrounded them . higher up the mountain , hidden in a giant overhang at its very crest , is a remarkable fresco of hunters , antelope and mythic figures , known as therianthropes , which are part-human , part-animal beings . the paintings stretch in a long gallery across the rock face that extends for at least 30 meters under the stone roof . it frames a spectacular view of the tall peaks and the distant valley far below . you are not allowed to touch anything , or to collect anything here , it 's a like a church , ' raphael tells us . and this is why it is important for the bushman people . still today many people take their shoes off when they visit here -- as a sign of their respect . ' one of the most well-preserved and mysterious panels in the kamberg series shows a mythical human-like figure tugging the tail of an eland . some scientists believe that this a sign of human recreation , almost sport , created by the artist -- or artists -- in a transcendent state of consciousness . raphael has been coming here for years , and is now studying rock art through university , but the beauty of this ancient gift left behind by lost generations has not faded for him . the bushmen are very special , ' he muses while looking out over the wide landscape that stretches out below , because they were living here , peacefully , in the mountains . we are all from the same origins . i feel very proud about this place and of the rock art that is here .

farc <sep> bogota , colombia ( cnn ) -- former hostage sigifredo lopez landed in the colombian city of palmira to a hero 's welcome thursday afternoon , free after nearly seven years of captivity by marxist rebels in the jungle . a brazilian helicopter takes off thursday from an airport in palmira , colombia , to pick up sigifredo lopez . lopez was met at the helicopter that ferried him to freedom by his wife and two sons , who cried openly and deeply as they hugged him . one son held his father 's head in his hands and spoke to him fervently as he kissed his forehead . lopez 's mother also hugged him before the freed hostage was swallowed by a mob of family members of other hostages who had died in captivity . after hugging well-wishers for more than 20 minutes , lopez climbed into a white red cross sport utility vehicle and drove off in a four-vehicle convoy . the former regional legislator was abducted april 11 , 2002 , by rebels from the revolutionary armed forces of colombia , better known as farc . lopez 's release was the sixth unilateral one by the rebels in a week , but few of the kidnappings were as dramatic as the one in which lopez and 11 other lawmakers were taken . he is the only one of that group who remains alive . a video taken by the farc that day in april 2002 and released in late 2006 shows the first minutes of the bold kidnapping that led to his captivity . the rebels had been training for months . at a farc camp , they practiced in colombian army and police uniforms and made mock-ups of the regional parliament in cali with plastic tarps and sticks . a rebel camera was rolling as the 20-strong commando group drove a bus to cali , colombia 's third-largest city . salsa music was blaring . watch the farc footage of the dramatic abduction of lopez and other lawmakers » they were posing as government soldiers . motorcycle outriders cleared the way . once they reached the parliament building , they faked a bomb alert . the bus pulled out in front of the building , and the video shows people running from the perceived threat . on the video , an unseen rebel is heard to say , for the deputies , we have a special vehicle . ' twelve congressmen took their seats , believing the military was shepherding them to safety . minutes passed , and one politician asked where they are headed . a few minutes later , the muffled reply can be heard : ladies and gentlemen . we are the farc .

[ original story published at 12.37 p.m . et ] voters in scotland made their choice thursday -- remain part of the united kingdom , or form their own independent nation . they chose to remain . with 31 of 32 of councils reporting , the no ' campaign had garnered enough votes to secure their victory , and with it scotland 's continued place within the union . the first councils to declare all went to the no ' campaign , as did the capital , edinburgh , which voted overwhelmingly to stay in the union with 123,927 for yes ' and 194,628 no ' votes . argyll and bute and aberdeenshire also voted no . ' glasgow delivered a solid win for the independence camp with 194,779 votes for yes , ' and 169,347 for no , ' but lead was not big enough to overturn the no ' camp 's overall majority so far , which maintains a 8 % ( 54 % to 46 % ) lead over pro-independence camp . the majority of the early results have been going the anti-independence camp 's way . the no ' campaign extended lead with angus and east dunbartonshire council results , alongside a landslide in dumfries and galloway . the oil-rich city of aberdeen also strongly voted for the unionist camp . the city of dundee was the first big gain for the independence campaign , voting yes ' with 53,620 votes for , 39,880 against . the individual counts by local authorities are ultimately immaterial as it is the total number of votes countrywide that will determine the outcome . polls at more than 5,500 stations across all districts , from the remote highlands and islands to the big cities of edinburgh and glasgow , closed at 10 p.m. local time ( 5 p.m . et ) . people still in line to vote at that time were allowed to cast ballots . high turnout the first districts to report turnout reported high participation -- well over 80 % in most cases -- mary pitcaithly , chief counting officer , announced in edinburgh . turnout in glasgow , one of the yes campaign 's heartlands , was a relatively disappointing 75 % . more than 4.2 million people registered to vote on the question : should scotland be an independent country ? ' a vote for independence would mean scotland , with its population of about 5.3 million , splits from the rest of the united kingdom , made up of england , wales and northern ireland , in addition to scotland . the people of scotland have engaged in this conversation , ' phil machugh , a spokesman for the yes ' camp , told cnn on thursday night . they have really gone out there , found out the information that they wanted to know , and made that choice today . ' prime minister 's address british prime minister david cameron will make an address friday morning . the content will depend on the outcome of the vote , but in the event that scottish voters decide to stay in the union , downing street says he will refer to plans for further redistribution of powers from the central government to the scottish parliament , signed by westminster leaders earlier this week . the counting officer for edinburgh , sue bruce , explained just after 10 p.m. that each ballot will be double-checked , to verify each voter 's decision . addressing dozens of election workers , bruce added , i look forward to working with you during the course of the evening to deliver an accurate and transparent edinburgh count in which you and the voters of edinburgh can have full confidence . ' voting was brisk at one polling station in glasgow as the polls opened thursday , with many people voting on the way to work or before taking their children to school . bad weather or the sheer volume of votes cast could slow down the counting process . however , the weather forecast appears good so far -- important when some ballot boxes must be collected by helicopter , plane or boat from polling stations on distant islands . allegations of voting fraud were reported by glasgow city council , with several instances of people turning up at voting booths in scotland 's largest city to vote , only to be told that they had already voted . the council stressed that there was never actually a situation of double voting and the affected ballots are now being searched for and taken away . scotland 's first minister alex salmond , who has led the pro-independence yes scotland ' campaign , cast his ballot thursday morning in the village of strichen , aberdeenshire . labour lawmaker alistair darling , who has headed the pro-union better together ' campaign -- backed by the main parties in westminster -- voted in edinburgh , while former prime minister gordon brown , another pro-union campaigner , voted in the town of kirkcaldy . for the first time , the vote was extended to 16- and 17-year olds living in scotland . nearly 110,000 people younger than 18 have registered to vote . voters in the referendum did not have to be british citizens ; commonwealth , irish and eu citizens who live in scotland and are registered to vote there can cast a ballot . however , scots living outside scotland do not have a say . nearly 790,000 people applied for a postal vote -- the largest volume of registration for postal votes ever in scotland . after the polls closed , salmond tweeted , this has been a remarkable day . scotland 's future truly is in scotland 's hands .

' is this legit ? john lisk , cnn student news : is this legit ? the space shuttle discovery is named after sailing ships . this one 's true ! the shuttle is named after two ships that explored the world . final mission azuz : the space shuttle discovery has made more trips into space than any other craft . all together , the shuttle 's spent almost a full year in orbit around the earth . yesterday , discovery set out on its 39th and last mission , delivering equipment to the international space station . this was discovery 's first launch , back in 1984 . and these launches are n't cheap . nasa estimates that every time a shuttle takes off , it costs nearly half a billion dollars . after discovery 's current mission , there are just two launches left for the space shuttle program . budget battle azuz : we 've been reporting on this controversial budget bill in wisconsin . you can check our transcript archives for details on that . now , it was scheduled to come up for a vote yesterday , but only in the state house of representatives . things are not moving forward in the wisconsin senate . and that 's because democratic senators have left the state in an effort to try to block any vote on the bill . you can get the latest details on this situation at cnn.com . teachers'lounge azuz : our latest teachers'lounge blog asks for your opinions about a controversial budget decision in detroit . the city 's planning to close half of its public schools . and teachers , we want to hear your thoughts on this . enter the teachers'lounge from our home page : cnnstudentnews.com ! shoutout tomeka jones , cnn student news : today 's shoutout goes out to mr. bozic 's world geography class at cypress creek high school in houston , texas ! willie o'ree was the first african-american to play in what sports league ? was it the : a ) mlb , b ) nba , c ) nfl or d ) nhl ? you 've got three seconds -- go ! willie o'ree made his debut in the national hockey league in 1958 . that 's your answer and that 's your shoutout ! diversity in hockey azuz : willie o'ree paved the way for other african-americans to hit the nhl ice . as we continue our commemoration of black history month , we 're taking a look at the diversity on the atlanta thrashers'roster . richelle carey sat down with the team 's four african-americans to talk about life as a minority pro hockey player . ( begin video ) richelle carey , hln anchor : i want each one of you to tell me what you like about hockey . sell me on hockey ! sell me ! evander kane , thrashers left winger : hockey is the fastest , most physical sport there is . johnny oduya , thrashers defenseman : the teamwork , too . i would say a total package sport . anthony stewart , thrashers right winger : i just like skating fast , ever since i was three . dustin byfuglien , thrashers defenseman : i guess it 's just something about being on the ice that i enjoy . it 's just me being out there , having fun and enjoying the people around me . carey : what 's the biggest misconception or false assumption that people make about you ? byfuglien : this guy ca n't stand on skates . oduya : maybe in atlanta , you tell people that you 're a hockey player and they do n't believe you . carey : what do you think ? oduya : i do n't know . maybe basketball or baseball , i have no idea . carey : who here knew that they were going to be a professional hockey player ? anybody here know that ? stewart : i knew probably when i was in grade one . we had an assignment to say what you wanted to be when you grew up . and i said , hockey player , ' and she said , pick something else . ' and i said , no , i 'm going to be a hockey player , ' and i stuck with it . carey : did anybody try to steer you to something different , because you do n't look out on the ice that often and see people of color ? did someone say this is n't the right fit for you ? kane : no , i think , honestly , it was almost the opposite . my dad really instilled that drive in me to battle through that kind of stuff , battle through adversity , and that 's what made me so successful . carey : anybody else feel that they were steered in a different direction for racial reasons at all ? stewart : i grew up sort of in an urban neighborhood and , you know , a lot of my friends are playing basketball and sports like that . i 'd go play a little bit of basketball , but after an hour i 'd get bored of it , so i 'd say , i have to go play hockey now .
