Full-Figured Statuette, 35,000 Years Old, Provides New Clues to How Art Evolved
No one would mistake the Stone Age ivory carving for a Venus de Milo. The voluptuous woman depicted is, to say the least, earthier, with huge, projecting breasts and sexually explicit genitals.

Saw this really simple tests for getting a sense of how healthy & fit you feel. I haven't done them myself yet but what I'm planning to do is write down how I think I will do on each of these and then see how I actually do. There's only four tests so do them with me and post how fit you are!

Some lunges, played catch with myself with a light bouncy medicine ball, overhead squats with some light weight and some wood choppers on the cable machine. Biked at slow pace to the office.

Although Paul Newman’s rep has denied reports that the 83-year-old actor is terminally ill, yesterday it was reported that Newman has turned over the entire $120 million value of his ownership in Newman’s Own - the company that makes salad dressing, spaghetti sauce and cookies - to charity, which has only added fuel to rumors that the Academy Award winner is dying of lung cancer.
However; it should be noted that Newman actually set up Newman’s Own Foundation Inc., the recipient of the donations, two years ago - prior to any alleged lung cancer diagnosis - in honor of his 80th birthday to ensure his charities would continue benefiting from his generosity.
Reports of Newman’s illness started in March when PageSix reported that the Academy Award winner had been seeing an oncologist at New York’s Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for the past seven months.

PERU'S SUNNY VIEW: SOLAR OBSERVATORY DATES BACK 2,300 YEARS
By Ron Cowen
When Ivan Ghezzi first visited the ancient Peruvian settlement of Chankillo 6 years ago, the world was reeling from 9/11. It seemed appropriate to view the site, already famous for its thick walls, parapets, and restricted gates, solely as a fortress. Ghezzi, then a Yale University graduate student, had in fact received a grant to investigate just that possibility at the 2,300-year-old coastal-desert site.
