Carbon 14 Test Probes Earliest American Campground
Archaeologist Mark Harrington sails to southern Nevada to study an ash pit dated by Carbon 14 as over 23 800 years old. The site, where bones of giant sloths were found, may hold the first evidence of humans in the Western Hemisphere. Harrington notes the find could reveal what early Americans looked like and suggests they might resemble Neanderthal or early American Indians.

Daylight Saving Time Sows Confusion for Farmers
A University of Minnesota dairy professor says daylight saving time disrupts farmers more than cows. Farmers must work by sun time, delaying chores and errands as stores close early and activities start late. The farmer bears the impact while cows stay on their steady milk rhythm.
