I'm from Michigan, soI wasn't expecting that I (would be) constantly interacting with kids from New York and California. I think what I enjoyed the most was diversity of thought because even though it's a Midwestern school, it has a very national and international feel. What advice would you give to students at the University? Be original! One of the quotes I would use in my book is from Dr. Seuss. To paraphrase it, he said, "Today, you are you.

It's the oldest genome ever recovered from the New World. Artifacts found with the body show the boy was part of the Clovis culture, which existed in North Americafrom about 13,000 years ago to about 12,600 years ago and is named for an archaeo- logical site near Clovis, N.M. The boy's genome showed his people were direct ancestors of many of today's native peoples in the Americas, researchers said. He was more closely related to those in Central and South Amer- ica than to those in Canada. The reason for that difference isn't clear, scientists said. The researchers said they had no Native American DNA from the United States available for comparison, but that they assume the results would be same, with some Native Americans being direct descendants and others also closely related. The DNA also indicates the boy's ancestors came from Asia, supporting the standard idea of ancient migration to the Ameri- cas by way of a land bridge that disappeared long ago. The burial site, northeast of Livingston, Mont., is the only burial known from the Clovis cul- ture. The boy was between 1 year and 18 months old when he died of an unknown cause. He was buried with 125 arti- facts, including spear points and elk antler tools. Some were evi- dentlyritual objects orheirlooms. The artifacts and the skeleton were covered with powdered red ochre, a natural pigment, indicat- ing a burial ceremony. The skeleton was discovered in 1968 next to a rock cliff, but it's only in recent years that sci- entists have been able to recover and analyze complete genomes from such ancient samples. The DNA analysis was report- ed online Wednesday in the jour- nal Nature by scientists including Eske Willerslev of the Univer- sity of Copenhagen in Denmark, Michael Waters of Texas A&M University and Shane Doyle of Montana State University in Boz- eman. The burial site lies on the property of the parents of anoth- er author, Sarah Anzick of Liv- ingston. It is known as the Anzick site. Doyle, a member of the Crow tribe, said the indication of such ancient roots for American Indi- -5. ans fits with what many tribal people already believed. He also said plans are underway to rebury the boy's remains at the site after the winter. The boy "was not a chief or a great hunter," but his burial showed love and respect, Doyle 4 said at the Montana Historical Society in Helena on Wednesday. 8 Next will be a memorial at the site, he said, "Something small, so that the state of Montana, people around the world will know the importance of that place." In a telephone conference with reporters this week, the researchers said that once they discovered the link between the boy and today's Native Ameri- cans, they sought out American Indian groups to discuss the results. Willerslev, an expert in deciphering ancient DNA, called 3 3 for scientists to work closely with native peoples on such research. On Wednesday, he noted there were Native American groups who said their oral history showed that they were descen- dants of the first people in the Americas. Facing potential life sentence, defense claims Dunn acted in self-defense JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A 47-year-old Florida man reacted viciously to an argu- ment over loud music with teen- agers in a store parking lot and fired multiple shots into their vehicle, killing one of them, and then drove away as if noth- ing happened, a prosecutor said Wednesday during closing arguments at the man's trial. Defense attorneys argued, however, that the state failed to prove its case or show that Michael Dunn hadn't acted in self-defense. Jurors began deliberating in the late afternoon on whether Dunn committed first-degree murder when he fatally shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012. Dunn, who is pleading not guilty, faces life in prison if convicted of that charge. They deliberated for three hours Wednesday night before recessing for the night. Before they left, they asked to see a con- venience store security video that captured sounds of the gunshots. They said they wanted to watch the video on Thursday. Besides first-degree murder, jurors could also consider the lesser crimes of second-degree murder or manslaughter, accord- ing to the jury instructions. Dunn also is charged with attempted murder for shots fired at Davis' three friends. In order to conclude that the killing was justifiable, jurors must believe it occurred while resisting an attempt to murder or commit a felony against Dunn, Circuit Judge Russell Healey told jurors. Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson told jurors that the evi- dence clearly shows Davis was unarmed when Dunn fired 10 shots at a Dodge Durango where Davis was sitting. Wolfson said no witnesses saw any of the four teenagers in the vehicle with a weapon and police searches turned up none. "This defendant was disre- spected by a 17-year-old teenager, and he lost it. He wasn't happy with Jordan Davis' attitude. What was his response? 'You're not going to talk to me like that,"' Wolfson said. "He took these actions because it was premedi- tated. It was not self-defense." Dunn's attorney Cory Strolla told jurors that the state had failed to prove its case or disprove Dunn's assertion he acted in self- defense. "Not one single witness said this man (Dunn) showed any signs of anger," he said. Strolla argued that there were no signs Dunn was planning to do anything that night and only asked the teens in the car to turn down the music. Strolla said they initially did, only to turn it back up again. Strolla said Dunn only fired his gun when he saw Davis wielding a weapon from inside the Duran- go and felt threatened. "He's had that gun for 20 years and never pulled it once," Strolla said. "He told you that nobody has ever scared him, no one has ever threatened him like that." Police didn't find a weapon in the SUV, but Strolla contended that the teens got rid of it during the three minutes they were in an adjacent parking lot after fleeing the gunshots. He said detectives should have immediately gone to the area and searched, but didn't. In his testimony Tuesday, Dunn told jurors he was in Jacksonville with his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, to attend his son's wedding. Dunn said he and Rouer went to the conve- nience store for wine and chips. He said he pulled in next to an SUV playing loud music. "My rear view mirror was shaking. My eardrums were vibrating. It was ridiculously loud," Dunn said. by music Dunn said he asked the teens to turn down the music and they turned it off. "I said, 'Thank you,"' Dunn said. But soon afterward, Dunn said he heard someone in the SUV shouting expletives and the word "crack- er" at him. Dunn is white, and the teens in the SUV were black. Cracker is a derogatory term for white people. The music was turned back on, and Dunn testified, "I wasn't going to ask for favors any- more." Dunn said the men in the SUV had "menacing expressions," and he asked the teens whether they were talking about him. He said he wanted to calm down the situation but saw a teen in the backseat reach down for something. Dunn said it looked as if the barrel of a shotgun was sticking out the window. One of the teens stepped out of the SUV, Dunn said, and he felt "this was a clear and pres- ent danger." He reached for his pistol in a glove box. Dunn, who had a concealed- weapons permit, fired nine shots into the car, according to an affidavit. Authorities say a Both shot fired by Dunn missed the car. Once his fiancee returned to the car, he drove off out of fear of the SUV returning, he said. Dunn said he told Rouer on the drive back to the hotel that he had shot in self-defense. But Rouer, called by prosecutors as a rebuttal witness, said Dunn never told her he thought Davis had a gun. Dunn and Rouer drove back to their hotel and Dunn said he didn't call the police because his focus was on the well-being of Rouer, whom he described as hysterical. The next morn- ing, Dunn said, Rouer insisted she wanted to go home and they drove back to their home in Bre- vard County, 175 miles away. There, Dunn said he contacted a neighbor who is in law enforce- ment for advice on how to turn himself in. I I t
