A famed American explorer and writer, whose books on Tibet opened the forbidden former Buddhist kingdom to Western eyes, has been nailed by Nepal Police for possessing an illegal treasure trove of wildlife parts and ancient archaeological artefacts. Ian Baker, who first came to Kathmandu as a 19-year-old student to research Tibetan paintings and made the Himalayan kingdom his home since the 80s, making forays from there to China-occupied Tibet, has become overnight Nepals most wanted after police discovered over a sizeable cache of ancient idols, Tibetan paintings, tiger skins, bones of endangered animals and other illegal animal parts in two apartments in the capital rented by him.

Nathaniel Abraham filed a lawsuit earlier this week in US District Court in Boston saying that the Cape Cod research centre dismissed him in 2004 because of his Christian belief that the Bible presents a true account of human creation.
Abraham, who is seeking $500,000 in compensation for a violation of his civil rights, says in the suit that he lost his job as a postdoctoral researcher in a biology lab shortly after he told his superior that he did not accept evolution as scientific fact.
Unsurprisingly, that's not quite the whole story:

The young professional from Colorado is among a growing number of curious people beating a path to this patch of scrub-strewn land out in the Arizona desert to bask in light from the world's first moonbeam collector.
A Tucson-based inventor and businessman Richard Chapin and his wife Monica are behind the giant device, which gathers up and focuses the light of the moon.
The Chapins built the large, one-of-a-kind contraption that stands in the desert some 15 miles west of Tucson, Arizona, in the belief that moonlight might have applications for medicine, industry and agriculture.

Government agents raided the home of a Kelso, Wash., couple and turned up bone fragments of an ancient rhinoceros suspected of being stolen from the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, according to federal court records in Tacoma.
Federal rangers searched the home of David and Tina Wixon on Oct. 30. They seized dozens of fossils, including the rhino fragments, an unidentified mammal section and an extinct marine arthropod known as a trilobite, records show.
The Wixons have not been charged with any crimes.

Two historic sites in Dorset have been targeted by vandals who have covered them in graffiti.
The ancient Nine Stones circle, beside the A35 at Winterbourne Abbas, near Dorchester, was targeted overnight.
Dorset Police said white paint was also sprayed on the Hardy Monument near Portesham, erected in 1844 in memory of Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy.
The graffiti includes the "F4J" slogan of Fathers 4 Justice, but the group strenuously denies any involvement.
Five of the stone circles were targeted.

The fool for today is Richard Figueroa, who claims to have the rights to a  image of Ashton Kutcher, and  is demanding that TechCrunch pay him $150,000 immediately or else hell sue them for $1.5 million.
Through a lack of understanding  of how the internet works or the finer points of  copyright and  fair use  he is a shining example of the sublimely  ridiculous .

According to modern wisdom, humans evolved on Earth no earlier than 2 million years ago.  There are many artefacts that have been found that have dates far older than 2 million years; if you accept established Archaeological and Geological Dating. Discoveries such as bones found embedded in coal, foot prints in stone and metal jewellery and a iron pot imbedded in coal, petrified wood artefacts that date back far older than 2 million years and many more artefacts like these.
  How can this be? - Mike Ellis.

The stupid person for today is the hacker who hacked into a  well known astronomy forum yesterday.

From 9:18 until 13:16 GMT- one IP address randomly searched the server for open session ID's of an Admin .  Once they found an open session,  the hacker altered the header and footer wrapper of that forum,  to add the malicious code.
Readers of that forum would see a popup

"You have chosen to open Update.exe" from elitedesigns.org

It was a Trojan.

The electronic trail  showed that the  IP left the  forum to go onto google, looking for other Invision 2.1 boards to hack.
