Sea lions starve as El Nino devastates Peru coast
In San Juan Nature Reserve 310 miles south of Lima thousands of sea lions die from hunger as El Nino drives fish away. Biologist Patricia Majluf of Wildlife Conservation Society notes only about 30,000 of the pre El Nino 180,000 remain, with 3,000 dead in the reserve and all pups this year dying. Adults, especially females, are hit hardest, delaying recovery for years.

Oldest synagogue discovered near Jericho by archaeologists
Hebrew University archaeologist Ehud Netzer reports the 2 000 year old Wadi Kelt synagogue uncovered in the ruins of a Maccabean winter palace near Jericho. The basilica hall housed a central reading area and a U shaped bench for ceremonial meals. Earthquake destruction preceded Herod’s later rebuilding. Oldest known synagogue prior to Temple destruction now dates earlier than Gamla. Hanukkah era Hasmoneans led revival of Jewish life in the second century B C.
