CALGARY HERALD - New fossil evidence shows our cute, hyperactive early relative, Jun 06, 2013

"WASHINGTON - New fossil evidence of the earliest complete skeleton of an ancient primate suggests it was a hyperactive, wide-eyed creature so small you could hold a couple of them in your hand — if only they would stay still long enough. The 55-million-year-old fossil dug up in central China is one of our first primate relatives and it gives scientists a better understanding of the complex evolution that eventually led to us. This tiny monkey-like creature weighed an ounce or less and wasn't a direct ancestor. Because it's so far back on the family tree it offers the best clues yet of what our earliest direct relatives would have been like at that time, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature."

HERALD SUN - UK bans raunchy, Australian-made Pamela Anderson ad; previously banned in Australia, Jun 05, 2013

"A RAUNCHY ad starring Pamela Anderson that was banned in Australia has now been yanked off the air in the UK for being "sexist and degrading". The ad, for web hosting service CrazyDomains, features former Baywatch star Anderson and her female assistant in a boardroom of men. One of the men begins fantasising about them, and Anderson and the assistant are then shown cavorting in gold bikinis and slathered with whipped cream. Later, the female assistant pours a man coffee while he oggles her cleavage. The ad was banned in Australia in 2010, after the Advertising Standards Board deeming it sexist and exploitative, saying the gratuitous fantasy sequence had "no relevance to the product"."

AL JAZEERA - The front lines of Taksim Square, Jun 05, 2013

"Istanbul, Turkey -  During the day-time, protests in Turkey's largest city have been comparatively  peaceful in the last week but after sundown, confrontations between police and protesters have been more heated. The epicenter of these clashes has been at Taksim Square and Beshiktash Stadium, in the heart of Istanbul. As night settled on Tuesday, thousands gathered in front of the stadium. Police used water cannons and tear gas, forcing people to flee towards Taksim. Afterwards, they stormed a nearby area and arrested more than 30 people. Protesters claim that plainclothes police detained and physically assaulted people. The protesters include leftist coalitions, football clubs, dissatisfied youth, and secularists. Some demonstrators have ripped up streets, street signs, and even bus shelters to create makeshift barricades."
