For those not up to speed on prehistoric hunting tools, an atlatl (pronounced at-LAT-tul) is that prong-ended, dart-throwing, sticklike gizmo that bested the hand-chucked spear before losing out to the strung bow. Harking back some 20,000 years, from the days when flint tools were high tech, the atlatl extended a hunter’s reach and added spring to his throw. With it, he could propel a feathered dart with enough force and accuracy to bring down a woolly mammoth....

Lewis either killed himself (the prevailing view) or was murdered near Hohenwald, Tenn., in 1809. His grave is on federal land outside town, tended by the National Park Service. The Feds, along with some eminent historians, insist Lewis should rest in peace. But James Starrs, a George Washington University law professor and forensic expert, thinks the truth’s worth digging for and that the government needs a science lesson. “I’ve seen what goes on with rodents tunneling underground,” says Starrs....

Lexus Teammate is a dual-function system that utilizes Advanced Drive and Advanced Park technologies to deliver hands-off steering capabilities for roadway driving and parking situations. It is not a fully autonomous or self-driving vehicle system. Lexus recently allowed members of the media to test the Advanced Drive aspect of the system, which is currently being fine-tuned for U.S. customers ahead of the LS’s on-sale date. The 15-mile testing loop was scheduled for interstates, expressways, and local roads around the automaker’s Plano, Texas headquarters on a partly sunny day....

Imperialist tales like this one rarely make it out of the Big Three’s design studios. A strange publishing trend is changing that. In the last year a new genre has boomed - call it the Birth of a Car book - that’s creating a traffic jam on business bookshelves. The books’ modus operandi is identical: with the companies’ permission, journalists go inside the top-secret meetings, styling reviews and test drives where engineers piece together their make-or-break models, and then write a book about it ....

“The Based God” tweeted Thursday that he’s rooting for the Warriors and if Harden doesn’t stop doing his cooking dance, he’ll be a marked man. MORE: Harden left off one MVP ballot | Why Harden can’t faze Klay Thompson UPDATE: Lil B may ant to try something else. Perhaps voodoo. In case you have no idea what is happening right now, let me explain. Lil B is credited with creating the cooking dance....

“Now that my sideboob has gotten your attention, Breonna Taylor’s murderers have not been arrested. Demand justice,” she captioned the since-deleted post. Fans were quick to react to her Instagram update and call her out for being “self absorbed” and “sick.” Reinhart soon deleted the caption underneath her risqué photo. Not long after, she took down the entire post. Reinhart took to social media to apologize for her Instagram post, noting that it was never her intention to offend anyone....

Seth Goldstein, a lawyer for the ALU, told The Lever that the union has filed a complaint with James, a Democrat, urging her to review whether the company has violated federal labor law and thus voided its eligibility for taxpayer subsidies. Luis Miranda has reportedly long been close with James. He served as a lead consultant when she successfully ran for New York City public advocate, according to CNBC. He also made phone calls on her behalf as she weighed whether to launch a bid for governor last year....

Wood rose to national prominence in late 2020 as he worked with attorney Sidney Powell and other Trump allies to file baseless election challenge lawsuits alleging that the presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” from former President Donald Trump. The lawyer has continued to spread misinformation about the election, as well as promote other bizarre conspiracy theories within conservative circles in recent months. “Let’s talk about CGI—computer graphics generated images....

Wood only became a registered South Carolina voter in February and was soon after recruited to take on McKissick, who took over the Republican Party in 2017. The final delegate count was 582 for McKissick and 239 for Wood. Despite falling well short, the Atlanta attorney swept two of the state’s more conservative strongholds, Horry and Greenville counties, but not enough to sway the incumbent’s broad base of support across the state....

The video consists of a monologue spoken over clips of Trump and a reel of GOP lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who the group targeted in another recent ad. “There’s mourning in the Republican Party,” the voiceover begins. “Today, Senators and Congressmen are waking up to the reality that Donald Trump has broken their party. “They praised his mistakes, instead of heeding the warnings, then blamed others to cover up their president’s failures....

Winslow, a New York Times bestselling author known for his crime and mystery novels, responded to the Republican senator’s most recent verbal attack on Trump over the president’s decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria, a move that has opened up the Kurds in the region to be attacked by Turkish forces. The decision paved the way for an invasion by Turkey, who pushed ahead with an offensive in northern Syria in spite of U....

The Republican congressional representatives are currently campaigning against Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in a unique pair of simultaneous runoff contests, which take place in Georgia when no single candidate earns a plurality of votes during general elections. How each race unfolds is consequential for residents of Georgia and the U.S. at large, since their outcomes will determine whether Democrats gain control of the Senate or Republicans maintain a majority....

Trump said in a series of “racist” and “xenophobic” tweets, as critics have labeled them, over the weekend that Democratic newcomers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts—who’ve become known as “The Squad”—should return to the “crime infested places” they “came from.” All four minority women are U.S. citizens and all but Omar were born in America. Omar is from Somalia and fled as a refugee....

As of Wednesday morning, the U.S. had pledged $48 billion in aid to the eastern European country this year alone as Ukraine continues to defend its borders from Russian aggression. That total, which includes funds allocated by both the Department of Defense (DoD) and President Joe Biden, doesn’t include the additional $1.85 billion announced by the DoD later in the day. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Congress Wednesday evening during his visit to Washington, D....

Speaking on Face the Nation, Graham said nominating a Black woman to replace outgoing Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer would help the judicial system “look like America.” “Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America. You know, we make a real effort as Republicans to recruit women and people of color to make the party look more like America. Affirmative action is picking somebody not as well qualified for past wrongs,” Graham said....

Democrats are keen to call more witnesses to testify on Trump’s alleged abuse of power, particularly key administration officials like former National Security Advisor John Bolton and acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has argued that Trump’s trial should follow the precedent set in the trial of former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment. McConnell wishes to determine if witnesses will be called only after opening arguments and questions from senators....

A report authored by a team of international researchers found a lab leak to be the least likely origin point, although it came under criticism for relying too heavily on information provided by people in China. Daszak, as well as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have publicly backed Chinese scientists for being honest, but others, including Graham, have called their statements into question....

Everyone has a line called the linea alba (“white line” in Latin) that usually isn’t noticeable. This line runs vertically from the breastbone to the pubic area and down the middle of the abdomen. During pregnancy, this line can darken, causing a visible vertical line from the belly button to the pubic area, or sometimes the entire length of the abdomen. This is called the linea nigra (“black line”). It often correlates with changes in pigmentation during pregnancy such as the darkening of areas that already have more pigmentation like the nipples and areola....

In an interview with ESPN.com, Hollins revealed that, while he has enjoyed his time as an analyst, he feels the itch to get back to coaching. "I believe I've established myself as a head coach and I'd like another opportunity to show that [my success] wasn't a fluke," Hollins told ESPN.com. "I feel like I've proven I can take a young team and develop it, then sustain what I've done by what I did in the last five years in Memphis....
