Grieving father takes center stage in gun debate
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Richard Martinez says he never set out to be a face of the gun-control movement and has no interest in taking deer rifles and shotguns from the hands of hunters. After all, he used to be one.
But Martinez plans to do whatever he can to keep guns out of the hands of people who use them for mass killings, the latest of which took the life of his 20-year-old son and five other students at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Martinez, a 60-year-old criminal defense lawyer, took center stage in the gun debate when he showed up uninvited before a sheriff's news conference a day after the May 23 killings, stepped before a bank of microphones and in a voice filled with rage and grief blamed the death of Christopher Michaels-Martinez on "craven, irresponsible politicians" who won't pass stricter gun-control laws.
"They talk about gun rights. What about Chris' right to live?" he wailed. "When will this insanity stop?"
On Thursday, an exhausted Martinez said he had hardly slept since that day, his hours filled with planning his only child's funeral while fielding calls from all over the world. News organizations from Canada, Great Britain and Australia want to interview him. Other people just want to say they're sorry.
"I tell them, 'Look, I don't need your sympathy. What I need is for you to DO something,'" Martinez said during a lengthy, late-night phone interview with The Associated Press.
That something, he said, would be urging the nation's leaders to engage in a serious discussion about restricting the availability of powerful, semi-automatic weapons such as the ones a lonely, troubled young man used to randomly shoot Michaels-Martinez and two other students near campus after stabbing three people to death at the apartment the killer shared with at least two of those victims.
Police believe 22-year-old Elliot Rodger shot and killed himself after crashing his car as officers moved in.
Nearly overnight, Martinez has become a recognizable figure in hotels, restaurants and on the streets near the Santa Barbara campus. It's a strange new situation for a man who until now has pretty much lived his life anonymously along the Central California coast where he was born and raised.
"I didn't choose this," Martinez said, adding that he believes responsible people have a right to keep guns for hunting, target shooting and their own safety.
"I grew up on a farm and I had guns," he said. "I hunted when I was a kid. I understand the appeal of hunting."
After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Army and served two years as a military policeman in Germany. He said he had to draw his weapon once to put an end to a domestic dispute.
"I was prepared to use it if I had to," he said.
Martinez, however, said he just can't fathom the proliferation of high-powered, semi-automatic weapons in American society.
"How," he asked of Rodger's weapons cache, "does a troubled kid who clearly had problems wind up with 400 rounds of ammunition and three semi-automatic handguns?"
A single father, Martinez said he was incredibly close to his son. They called each other and texted several times a week. Two years ago, they traveled to the East Coast together when Michaels-Martinez was trying to decide which college to attend.
Martinez said his son expected to graduate from UCSB in 2015 after just three years and planned to follow his father's path as a lawyer.
Less than an hour before he died, the son was on the phone excitedly telling his father that his new girlfriend planned to introduce him to her parents the following week. Martinez later met the parents at a memorial service for victims of the rampage.
Martinez said his job as a defense lawyer had sometimes brought him into contact with people charged with gun crimes. It also led him to represent the parents of troubled young people who ran up against a public mental health system that Martinez said didn't provide the necessary care for their children.
That's why he said he won't blame the parents of his son's killer. It's also why he'll keep demanding reasonable gun control.
"I'm not going to write a book, I'm not going to sue anybody," he said, explaining that such actions would only cheapen the memory of his son.
"I just want to try to make it possible so that other people don't have to go through this."

Special Bulletin 11/01/05 - First Impressions of: The Warriors and Civilization 4
plus an encore presentation of The Wiener Bomb Song
Right Click Here and 'Save As' to Download!
This is a Gamers Wth Jobs Radio Special Bulletin for November 1st, 2005! Today Fletcher brings you first impressions of The Warriors and Civilization 4 as well as a special presentation of The Wiener Bomb Song, in honor of the GWJ donation drive. Enjoy!
UPDATE!: Next week, GWJ Radio returns with a full length episode chock full of radio goodness. Stay tuned!
...Interesting. Although I still don't know what is the fascination about Winner Bomb? Well, at least I know what brought it about. Eh"…
Hey, to squeak in before I get slapped again for being all negative and sh*t: I didn't give my permission for my name and likeness to be used in your campaign! My legal representatives are unloading casks of gasoline outside your offices just as we speak.
Seriously, though, Sure Fletcher can talk real slick. Listen, why do you need this slacker Sanjuro at all? You're one cool EmCee, perfectly capable of running the show all by yourself
And that song in the end!! What a moving, wonderful, evocative piece of work!! This is the type of song I would want to have played on my wedding, or anniversary, or a first communion maybe.
I hope next week you guys get around to discuss Spartan, CoD2 and other stuff.
P.S. can you also rap?
OMG The song is comedy gold.
I feel dirty now, though. I think I want my watch icon back.
Scarey to think of people stumbling upon your podcast and never been to the site before. Jack Thompson know about this?
How 'bout you hook it up to some amateur soapmaking, finger->butt action?
Instant hit in prisons all over the globe!!!
Heh, well, if you ever need a lame co-host to rail on, Fletch, feel free to give me a call.
Still, fun as always.
LOL, holy sweet crap.. been a while since i heard the wiener bomb song.. 'bout had tea come out my nose.. LOL
great.. as always
That song ... hilarious ... yet afterwards I feel so dirty.
I love the theme song for the podcast - it makes me smile every time I hear it.
Listening to the rest as I type.
I love the theme song for the podcast - it makes me smile every time I hear it.
"I'm a wiener bomb."
"Wiener bomb!"
I always thought wiener bombing was like teabagging.
The part where I lavished praise on Demiurge for the wonderful remix of Wiener Bomb got lost on the cutting room floor somehow.
Demi got skills!!! Bit in the current context, words "cutting room floor" sound just too frivolously.
Not too shabby Fletch.
Cool hearing the song again too
Just wanted to add my agreement with the "unfunness" of the RockStar games I've tried. As much hype as the GTA:* games had, I just didn't find it entertaining at all going around being a thug.
It had a story line, it had open-ended play, it had voice acting and characters ... but ... I didn't care about them and didn't care to *be* them.
I also admit to having trouble just steering the vehicles around without hitting anything unless I drove in short spurts with corrections, which didn't help if I was being chased, or was trying to chase someone -- but that doesn't negate the lack of fun. I've overcome similar difficulties for other games that I *wanted* to play.
This could be related to my lack of being able to get into playing KotOR as dark; playing light was where my personality fit and where I had fun with the game.
Rockstar games arent about having fun, Fletch.
The games are about f*cking around with sh*t in a sandbox. Some find that fun. Meh.
I've always had problems playing the bad guy as well... it just doesn't connect for me. But I very much enjoyed the last three GTA's. I guess my attitude is that you're playing the best of the bad guys, trying to defeat the "even worse" guys.
But I very much enjoyed the last three GTA's. I guess my attitude is that you're playing the best of the bad guys, trying to defeat the "even worse" guys.
I recall the end of my attempt to play GTA:VC was the sequence in which I'm supposed to "take care of" someone by using a chain saw while not getting caught by the police even though it ends up having to take place out in public. That just screams best of the bad guys, no?
Well, uh... you're still a bad guy!
Good show, ole chap! You carried it perfectly on your own.
Man, the Weiner Bomb song never fails to crack me up. Even after being explained half to death. Just teasing ya Fletchie, you know I'm your #1 fan...well, perhaps #2 fan... anyway, I'm right up there on the list of Fletch fans.
I must say Fletcher, I'm convinced you were somehow channeling William Shatner with that song. God job!

via press release:
LOS ANGELES (September 12, 2013) – The Parents Television Council is calling on its members to contact Congress to express the urgent need for a consumer cable choice solution in response to the violent and sexually graphic premiere of FX's "Sons of Anarchy," which featured a young boy committing a school shooting, simulated rape scenes, torture of women, and a man who was drowned in a bathtub of urine.
"What FX chose to show – a scene of a young boy murdering innocent children in a school with a semi-automatic gun – is enough of a reason for consumers to have the choice not to underwrite such horrifically violent and disturbing material. Think about the parents who have been personally affected by real-life school shootings – even they were forced to contribute to FX on their cable bills. This is an outrage, and the time for consumers to have real choice has come," said PTC President Tim Winter.
"Changing the channel is simply not enough – that's a lazy excuse from the cable industry's own talking points that does not address the real problem. Consumers are forced to subsidize cable networks like FX just to get access to networks they do watch. It's clear to see that the cable industry model of forcing consumers to buy bundles of networks is broken.
"We urge Congress to take seriously the Television Consumer Freedom Act, which will allow consumers the ability to choose and pay for only the cable networks they want, and the Video CHOICE Act, which would pave the way for a choice solution. It's time for consumers to have a real voice in what they want to pay for on their cable bills."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Stubbs, the honorary feline mayor of an Alaska town, has recovered enough after a dog mauling to be released from the animal hospital.
The 16-year-old cat's owner, Lauri Stec, is making the long drive from Talkeetna to pick him up Monday. That's according to Marco Cortez, a clerk at Nagley's General Store, where Stubbs lives and where Stec is the manager.
Stubbs has been under veterinary care after being mauled by a loose dog in Talkeetna. The quirky community of 900 elected the cat in a write-in campaign 15 years ago.
The Aug. 31 attack left Stubbs with injuries including a punctured lung and a fractured sternum.
Stubbs was already popular nationally and gained even more fans outside of Alaska when news spread about the attack.

Trip Information Page | Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Ivo Daalder serves as the U.S. Ambassador to NATO.
The NATO Foreign Ministerial that just ended turned out to be just the success we hoped it would be.
Allies strongly endorsed President Obama's approach toward Afghanistan, with countries pledging to do more in terms of troops, trainers, and trust fund monies. Allies and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) partners pledged to contribute about 7,000 troops, and several thousand more will likely be forthcoming in the near future. ISAF countries also began a discussion on improving civilian coordination, with an eye to agreeing on new mechanisms by the time of the London Conference.
Allies embraced the President's Phased, Adaptive Approach to Missile Defense, which will in the not too distant future help protect allied populations, territory and forces from growing missile threats.
Allies agreed to provide Membership Action Plan (MAP) to Montenegro and reached a compromise on Bosnia that enables Sarajevo to get MAP once it achieves the necessary progress in its reform efforts. Reaching this consensus was difficult, but in the end, all allies agreed to support the compromise.
NATO countries and Russia formally restarted the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) by convening the first formal ministerial meeting since December 2007. The NRC Ministers agreed to restructure the NRC, launch a joint review of 21st Security Challenges, and a Work Program for 2010.
Because of these successes, the road to the Lisbon Summit next November looks brighter than it did only a few days ago.

We in the United States often debate the impact of President Obama's likeability on the international stage. Yes, he can draw the masses at the Brandenburg Gate, but how has his popularity and leadership actually translated into tangible gains for the US abroad? The fact that NATO has stepped up to the plate and committed more troops is a testament to the leadership of this administration. President Obama, Secretary Clinton, Secretary Gates, and General Jones should all be commended for their leadership. This is, indeed, the restoration of American leadership abroad.
I wish our friends at NATO would contribute far more to the situation in Afghanistan (afterall, this is their problem, too), but the fact that they are doing so when it not politically expediant in their own home countries says something about US leadership abroad.
Keep up the good work, Secretary Clinton. We've got a long road ahead, but for those who are keeping score, you just scored an importnt three-pointer at the buzzer. The game's not over, but you take us into the next quarter in a much stronger position.
Best regards,

The Medford Ski Education Foundation will hold its annual Ski and Snowboard Swap next weekend, Nov. 9-11, in the multipurpose room at St. Mary's School, 816 Black Oak Drive, Medford.
Several large merchants will be in attendance offering deals on new and used ski and snowboarding equipment. They will operate alongside private-party sellers looking for some extra holiday cash or an equipment upgrade.
The annual swap is a way to recycle usable gear and is popular among families whose young athletes can grow out of their gear almost annually.
"It's a less expensive way to get into skiing," says Ron Johnson, MSEF's swap meet coordinator. "It's getting people on the mountain who otherwise might not get that chance."
People who have used snowboards, skis, boots, helmets and clothing they'd like to sell can check in prior to the event during a merchant registration from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8, at the MSEF Clubhouse at 303 E. Jackson St., next to the Rogue Ski Shop.
An early-bird sale will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9. Admission that day will be $5 per person. Kids 12 years and younger get in free.
Last year's Friday event drew a crowd of close to 300 bargain hunters looking for deals as the doors opened.
"People want to get in to get the first shot at things," Johnson says. "It's turned into quite an event.
The Saturday, Nov. 10, sale will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission that day will be $3 per person.
A closeout sale will be featured from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, with free admission and all merchandise on the floor discounted up to 50 percent.
MSEF is a nonprofit foundation that works to make competitive skiing available for high-school students in Jackson and Josephine counties, where local school districts cannot afford ski-racing programs. Participants range from casual skiers to athletes looking to qualify for the Oregon Interscholastic Ski Racing Association's State High School Championships.
The annual swap event is the foundation's largest fundraiser of the year.
Coaches and team members will be available throughout the weekend to answer questions from student athletes interested in joining the program.
Additional details for buyers and sellers are available on the MSEF website at www.msefskier.com or www.southernoregonskiswap.com.
Boat owners with boat-registration decals that expire at the end of 2012 can expect to see a renewal notice in the mail as early as this weekend.
The Oregon State Marine Board on Thursday began mailing renewal notices to the registered owners of more than 82,000 boats whose registrations expire Dec. 31.
Boat registrations in Oregon last for two years, and roughly half of the registrations are up for renewal annually.
To renew your registration, find the boat registration number and PIN on the renewal notice. Then either visit the Marine Board's website at www.boatoregon.com or call 503-378-8587.
There is no processing fee. Payments vary based on the length of the boat, with the fee at $3 per linear foot. The individual boat's registration cost is listed on each renewal notice.
The fee includes a $5 surcharge for the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program, which was created by the 2009 Oregon Legislature to curb introductions of non-native aquatic species such as quagga mussels. It's the same fee paid by users of kayaks, canoes and other boats on Oregon waterways.
The fee is an additional charge on top of the boat registration, which has not increased.
Those who register online can print out a temporary permit. Decals will be mailed five to seven business days after renewal.
Reach reporter Mark Freeman at 541-776-4470 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

ODYSSEY Extreme Series Battery
Part no: 0769-2018
(Metal Jacket; SAE brass automotive posts with 3/8 inch threaded receptacle)
Whether for everyday or emergency use, today's vehicles are loaded with more electronics than would have been imaginable just a few years ago. ODYSSEY batteries have been designed to keep up with the changes. Because their plates are made of pure virgin lead (unlike the lead alloy in most batteries), we can pack in more plates. And more plates mean more plate surface area, and much more power - twice the overall power and three times the life of conventional batteries - up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge!
ODYSSEY batteries deliver the massive starting power, rapid recovery, and amazing deep cycling capability that today's vehicles demand.

Dell's (NASDAQ:DELL) largest outside shareholder revealed plans on Friday to use "all options" to block the struggling PC maker's leveraged buyout, saying the current $24.4 billion go-private deal "grossly undervalues" the company.
Continue Reading Below
The announcement by Southeastern Asset Management, which said it owns about 8.5% of Dell's outstanding shares, sent the company's stock jumping to session highs.
Citing "extreme disappointment" with the transaction that was revealed earlier this week, Southeastern said it will not vote in favor of the proposed transaction as currently structured.
That dissension could play a role as Dell said the deal, the largest LBO since 2007, is subject to a vote of unaffiliated shareholders. Michael Dell, the company's founder and CEO, is pledging his 14% stake towards the go-private deal.
The management takeover "appears to be an effort to acquire Dell at a substantial discount to intrinsic value at the expense of public shareholders," Southeastern said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Friday.
Southeastern said it intends to use "all options" at its disposal to oppose the proposed deal, including but not limited to a proxy fight, litigation claims and "any available Delaware statutory appraisal rights."
Michael Dell and private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners teamed up on the $24.4 billion deal that was unveiled on Tuesday, agreeing to pay $13.65 a share in cash, representing a 25% premium over Dell's close the day before M&A speculation began swirling but a 26% discount to its 52-week high of $18.36 set in February 2012.
Southeastern said that price tag "clearly represents an opportunistically timed bid to take the company private at a valuation far below Dell's intrinsic value, and deprives public shareholders of the ability to participate in the company's substantial future value creation."
The shareholder group noted Dell Financial Services is carrying net cash per share of $3.64 after deducting structured debt, the financial services business has a book value of $1.72 a share and the company has spent $7.58 a share on acquisitions since 2007 that have not been written down, equaling $12.94 a share before Dell's other businesses are even considered.
By going private, Michael Dell is betting he can accelerate the company's transformation into a modern IT company away from the pressure of Wall Street analysts.
"We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise," Michael Dell said in the deal announcement on Tuesday.
Shares of Dell turned positive on the Southeastern news, ending the day up 0.74% to $13.63.

Homo habilis, (Latin: "able man" or "handy man") extinct species of human, the most ancient representative of the human genus, Homo. Homo habilis inhabited parts of sub-Saharan Africa from roughly 2.4 to 1.5 million years ago (mya). In 1959 and 1960 the first fossils were discovered at Olduvai Gorge in northern Tanzania. This discovery was a turning point in the science of paleoanthropology because the oldest previously known human fossils were Asian specimens of Homo erectus. Many features of H. habilis appear to be intermediate in terms of evolutionary development between the relatively primitive Australopithecus and the more-advanced Homo species.
The first confirmed remains found at Olduvai consist of several teeth and a lower jaw associated with fragments of a cranium and some hand bones. As more specimens were unearthed at locations such as Koobi Fora in northern Kenya, researchers began to realize that these hominins were anatomically different from Australopithecus, a genus of more-apelike creatures whose remains had been found at many African sites. Formal announcement of the discoveries was made in 1964 by anthropologists Louis S.B. Leakey, Phillip Tobias, and John Napier. As justification for designating their new creature Homo rather than Australopithecus, they described the increased cranial capacity and comparatively smaller molar and premolar teeth of the fossils, a humanlike foot, and hand bones that suggested an ability to manipulate objects with precision—hence the species name Homo habilis, or "handy man." Furthermore, simple stone tools were found along with the fossils. All these characteristics foreshadow the anatomy and behaviour of H. erectus and later humans, making H. habilis extremely important, even though there are few remnants of it.
The fossil evidence
Apart from the original discovery of the 1.8-million-year-old jaw, cranial, and hand bones from a juvenile individual called Olduvai Hominid 7 (OH 7), additional fossils from Olduvai have been ascribed to H. habilis. Pieces of another thin-walled cranium along with upper and lower jaws and teeth came to light in 1963. Just a month later a third skull was found, but the bones had been trampled by cattle after being washed into a gully. Some of the teeth survived, but the cranium was broken into many small fragments; only the top of the braincase, or vault, has been pieced back together. Those two skulls are called OH 13 and OH 16.
Since 1964 more material has been discovered. One intriguing specimen is OH 24, which was also from Olduvai and dated to about 1.8 mya. This cranium is more complete than others from Olduvai. Because some of the bones are crushed and distorted, however, the face and braincase are warped. OH 24 may differ from Australopithecus in brain size and dental characteristics, but it resembles the australopiths of southern Africa in other features, such as the shape of the face.
Important discoveries made in the Koobi Fora region of northern Kenya include a controversial skull called KNM-ER 1470 (Kenya National Museum–East Rudolf), which was discovered in 1972 and dated to 1.9 mya. The specimen resembles both Australopithecus and Homo. As in the case of OH 16, this specimen had been broken into many fragments, which could be collected only after extensive sieving of the deposits. Some of the pieces were then fitted into the reconstruction of a face and much of a large vault. Brain volume can be measured rather accurately and is about 750 cubic cm (cc), or 46 cubic inches. This evidence prompted some paleoanthropologists to describe ER 1470 as one of the most ancient undoubted representatives of the genus Homo because some other features of the braincase are also Homo-like. At the same time, it is apparent that the facial skeleton is relatively large and flattened in its lower parts. In this respect, the Koobi Fora specimen resembles Australopithecus anatomically.
Among other key finds from the Koobi Fora region are KNM-ER 1813 and KNM-ER 1805. Both were discovered in 1973, with ER 1813 dated to 1.9 mya and ER 1805 dated to 1.7 mya. The former, which is most of a cranium, is smaller than ER 1470 and resembles OH 13 in many details, including tooth size and morphology. The latter skull exhibits some peculiar features. Although the braincase of ER 1805 is close to 600 cc (36.6 cubic inches) in volume and is thus expanded moderately beyond the size expected in Australopithecus, a bony crest runs along the top of the skull. This sagittal crest is coupled with another prominent crest oriented across the rear of the skull. These ridges indicate that the chewing muscles and neck muscles were powerfully developed. A similar if more-exaggerated pattern of cresting appears in the so-called robust australopiths but not in Homo. Other features of ER 1805, however, are Homo-like. As a result, there has been disagreement among anatomists regarding the hominin species to which this individual should be assigned. Despite its anomalies, ER 1805 is often discussed along with other specimens grouped as H. habilis.
Several mandibles resembling that of OH 7 have been recovered from the Koobi Fora area, and teeth that may belong to H. habilis have been found farther to the north, in the Omo River valley of Ethiopia. Some additional material, including a badly broken cranium, are known from the cave at Swartkrans in South Africa. At Swartkrans the fossils are mixed with many other bones of robust australopiths. An early species of Homo may also be present at Sterkfontein, not far from Swartkrans. Here again the remains are fragmentary and not particularly informative.
A more-valuable discovery was reported from Olduvai Gorge in 1986. A jaw with teeth and skull fragments as well as pieces of a right arm and both legs were found. The bones seem to represent one individual, dated to 1.8 mya and called OH 62. Although the skull is shattered, enough of the face is preserved to suggest similarities to early Homo. The find is especially important because of the limbs, which show that OH 62 was a very small hominin. The arm is long relative to the leg, resulting in body proportions that differ dramatically from those of more-modern hominins.
One of the more-important 21st-century discoveries included a mandible found at the Ledi-Geraru research site in Ethiopia's Awash River valley in 2013, which could be the oldest known specimen attributed to H. habilis. Dated to 2.8–2.75 mya, it possesses some of the primitive traits that occur in Australopithecus while also containing derived features (such as smaller teeth and a much-reduced chin) associated with later species of Homo. The specimen has proved useful for bridging the nearly one-million-year gap in dating between fossils associated with A. afarensis and fossils associated with Homo. However, many paleontologists—including the discoverer, American paleontologist Brian Villmoare—are hesitant to associate it unequivocally with H. habilis until additional remains are found.
Body structure
Olduvai and Koobi Fora fossils have allowed researchers to make some determinations about the anatomy of early humans. It is clear that the braincase of H. habilis is larger than that of Australopithecus. The original finds from Olduvai Gorge include two sizable bones from the skull of OH 7. An incomplete brain cast was molded by putting the bones together to form a partial cranium. This cast has been used to estimate a total brain volume of about 680 cc. A brain cast from ER 1470, which has a more-complete cranium, can be measured directly; its volume is about 775 cc. One or two additional fragmentary skulls appear to be about the same size as that of ER 1470. Others are much smaller—such as ER 1813, which has a cranial capacity of only about 510 cc (31.1 cubic inches). Thus, brain sizes ranging from slightly more than 500 to nearly 800 cc (30.5 to nearly 48.8 cubic inches) seem to characterize H. habilis.
The skulls by and large have thin walls and are rounded, rather than low and flattened; they do not have the heavy crests and projecting browridges characteristic of later H. erectus. The underside of the cranium is shortened from the back of the palate to the rear of the skull, as in all later Homo species. This is an important contrast to the so-called gracile australopiths, in which the cranial base is relatively narrow and elongated.

The facial bones of several specimens are at least partly preserved, and facial proportions vary considerably. One of the Olduvai hominins, OH 24, seems anatomically similar to Australopithecus in having prominent cheekbones and a flat nasal region. This gives the central region of the face a depressed, or "dished," appearance, and the upper part of the nasal profile is obscured by the cheek when the specimen is viewed from the side. Such hollowing of the face is characteristic of some South African australopiths but is not seen in later Homo. The facial skeleton of ER 1470 is large relative to the braincase, and it shows flattening below the nose—Australopithecus-like features. The walls of the nasal opening, however, are slightly everted, and there is at least an indication that the nose stands out in more relief than would be expected in australopiths. The face of ER 1813 is even more modern.
The front teeth of H. habilis are not much different in size from those of Australopithecus, but the premolar and molar crowns—particularly in the lower jaw—are narrower. The jaw itself may be quite heavily constructed like that of gracile australopiths. This is the case for OH 7 and also for at least one specimen from Koobi Fora. Other jaws are smaller but still robust in the sense of being thick relative to height. For example, the mandible of OH 13 is similar in many respects to that of H. erectus, and this individual might have been called H. erectus if its jaw had not been found along with small, thin vault bones.
Only a few other skeletal parts have been discovered. Some limb bones from Olduvai and Koobi Fora have been grouped tentatively with H. habilis on the basis of general anatomic similarity to later humans. These fossils, however, are not associated with any teeth or skulls, and it is probably not appropriate to use them as the basis for describing early Homo. One individual for which body parts are more fully represented is OH 62. Arm and leg bones of OH 62 are fragmentary, but the arm is relatively long. The skeleton may be similar in its proportions to small australopiths. OH 62 probably walked on two legs as efficiently as other early hominins, but this diminutive individual was unlike later humans in many respects.
Another important specimen is the immature hand of OH 7. These bones, found with skull bones, are still apelike in some aspects, but it is almost certain that the individual from which they came had dexterous hands. Stone artifacts and early Homo fossils have been found at Olduvai and other sites. These tools are called the Oldowan industry, and, though they are crude, they indicate that H. habilis could shape stone.
Tool use and tool construction, however, may not have originated with H. habilis or even with Homo itself. The oldest known tools, which were found near Kenya's Lake Turkana, predate the emergence of Homo by almost 400,000 years. Barring the discovery of an as-yet-undiscovered species of Homo, the tools were likely constructed by members of Australopithecus or Kenyanthropus, who inhabited the region at that time.
Behavioral inferences
The stone tools and unused waste materials (mainly crude chopping tools and sharp flakes) left by H. habilis provide important clues about the behaviour of these early humans. Olduvai Gorge has been a rich source of Oldowan tools, and the tools are often found with animal fossils. Originally, the occurrence of artifacts with bones was interpreted to mean that H. habilis hunted animals and brought the carcasses to where it lived for butchering, but it is now known that the situation was more complicated. Assemblages such as those found at Olduvai can be created through various means, not all of which are related to hominin activities. Olduvai H. habilis certainly used animal products, however. With the aid of a scanning electron microscope, it has been shown that cut marks on some of the bones must have been made by stone tools, but this does not prove that animals were hunted. Analysis of Olduvai animal fossils also shows that some marks were made by either rodent or carnivore teeth, the indication being that at least some of the animals were killed by nonhominin predators. In all likelihood, the hominins at Olduvai could obtain larger carcasses only after the animals had been killed and partially eaten by other predators. H. habilis may have hunted small prey, such as antelope, but definitely was a scavenger.
It is debatable whether or not the Olduvai sites were home bases. Nothing recovered indicates that people resided where the animal bones accumulated. Such areas were presumably dangerous since they undoubtedly attracted numerous predators. These sites may have been caches of stone tools and raw materials that were established in areas convenient for rapid processing of animal parts. Therefore, where the hominins lived or whether their social structure was prototypical of later hunter-gatherers remains unknown, although H. habilis must have engaged in cultural activities.
Whether or not early Homo had acquired language is another fundamental question, and the indirect evidence on this issue has been variously interpreted. It is the belief of some anatomists that endocranial casts of H. habilis fossils indicate that the regions associated with speech in modern humans are enlarged. Others disagree with this assessment, particularly since the number of braincases preserved well enough to make detailed casts is small. Anthropologists have also based their interpretations on the archaeological record. According to some, the crude Oldowan artifacts indicate the ability to use language. Critics of this view assert that the Oldowan industry represents only opportunistic stonework. They argue that, because the later Acheulean tools of H. erectus are more carefully formed and are often highly symmetrical, this later hominin was the first to use symbols and language. One of the problems with this theory is that no clear link between technological and linguistic behaviour has been established—even the more-sophisticated tools could have been made by nonspeaking hominins. Thus, it is not certain when Homo developed the linguistic skills that characterize modern humans.
Evolutionary implications
The general interpretation of the fossil evidence is that H. habilis is not only substantially different from Australopithecus but that it represents the beginning of the trends characterizing human evolutionary history, particularly expansion of the brain. Some specimens clearly have a larger cranial capacity than that of Australopithecus, and the capacity increases progressively afterward with H. erectus, archaic H. sapiens, and modern humans. H. habilis is also thought to exhibit the origins of other trends such as smaller teeth and changes in facial structure, especially the nasal region.
The theory that H. habilis is intermediate between relatively primitive Australopithecus and more advanced Homo appears to be generally accurate, but several aspects of this view can be challenged. Although there are not many H. habilis fossils, it is becoming clear that there are anatomic differences among the East African assemblages. Some of the newer discoveries have confirmed the expectation that early Homo craniums should be relatively large, with the rear of the skull rounded and its base shortened. Other fossils have proved less easy to assign to H. habilis, and there has been controversy over their interpretation. Some braincases are considerably smaller, and it is frequently suggested that this variation is one of the differences between males and females (sexual dimorphism), the larger skulls being ascribed to males. But there are differences in shape as well as size, and several of the smaller skulls depart from the morphology of large-brained H. habilis in ways that are not obviously related to sex. There are also facial similarities between some specimens and Australopithecus. Thus, there is the possibility that two different species (H. habilis and H. rudolfensis), rather than one sexually dimorphic group, are actually represented by the fossils.
Dating the fossils
Several approaches have been used to date H. habilis fossils from Olduvai, and a reasonably accurate timescale for Olduvai has been developed. The oldest remains, including OH 24, are from about 1.8–1.9 mya. Others such as OH 7 and OH 62 are not quite so ancient. One of the youngest remains, OH 16, is from 1.7 mya. The youngest Olduvai skull that is representative of early Homo is OH 13. No radiometric date for it is available, but other dating methods estimate it to be about 1.5 million years old.
In the Koobi Fora region a number of important fossils have been located near a level of volcanic ash that also contains stone tools. This ash bed was dated to about 2.6 mya. When ER 1470 was discovered several metres below this layer, it was thought that the newfound cranium must document Homo from a time well before the Olduvai deposits had accumulated. This assumption was soon questioned on the basis of other evidence, however, and before 1980 it was clear that the age had been overestimated. A series of radiometric determinations done subsequently has yielded a date of 1.88 mya. The ER 1470 skull and other H. habilis specimens recovered below this ash layer, therefore, must be close to two million years old. Evidence from East Africa thus suggests that H. habilis lived for a half-million years or so before giving way to later Homo species.
Classifying the various specimens separately means that each must be fitted into a scheme of hominin descent, or phylogeny. One interpretation assigns specimens with smaller craniums to a gracile species of Australopithecus (that is, one that is smaller, more slender, and characterized by molars and incisors of similar size). According to this scenario, only the larger skulls represent early Homo evolution. Others, questioning the notion that all species of Homo proceed along a simple linear progression, believe that early human populations were more diverse than has been recognized; although these researchers recognize two separate species, they prefer to lump both in the genus Homo. In this view, two species may have lived contemporaneously 2.0–1.5 mya. Only one could be the direct ancestor of H. erectus, and so perhaps it was the large-brained form, H. habilis, that evolved further, while the smaller australopith became extinct. Some paleoanthropologists argue, however, that the australopith A. sediba, which morphologically is more similar to H. erectus than to H. habilis (and specimens of which have been dated to approximately 1,977,000 years ago), is the most likely direct ancestor of H. erectus.

Joe Lauzon and Mac Danzig have verbally agreed to square off at UFC on Fox 9 on Dec. 14 at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
UFC officials announced the bout on Tuesday.
Danzig and Lauzon are two of the more popular lightweights in the UFC, but while both are typically exciting, crowd-pleasing fighters, neither has fully realized his potential.
Danzig (21-11-1) made his way to the Octagon by winning the sixth season of The Ultimate Fighter.
His overall UFC record now stands at 5-7, though, which includes losing his last two fights. Melvin Guillard knocked Danzig out in July, which followed a Fight of the Night performance in a split decision loss to Takanori Gomi.
Lauzon (22-9) also enters this fight coming off of back-to-back decision losses to Michael Johnson and Jim Miller.
Lauzon maintains a 9-6 record in the Octagon, racking up 12 post-fight bonus awards, which is a record he shares with former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
