Actress Lena Dunham defends 'Girls' writer accused of rape

Actress and "feminist" Lena Dunham is being slammed for defending a writer and producer on her HBO hit show 'Girls' after he was accused of raping an actress when she was 17-years-old.
Aurora Perrineau, known for her role as Shana in 'Jem and The Holograms,' went public with allegations against writer and producer Murray Miller after filing a police report with the Los Angeles County, The Wrap reported. But, according to "insider knowledge" of the situation, Dunham said the accusation against her colleague was “one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year.”

Washington neo-Nazi found guilty of killing three friends

Brent Ward Luyster, an infamous neo-Nazi from Washington state, killed three of his friends and fellow skinheads last summer — allegedly because he learned the FBI was investigating him on weapons charges.
As The Daily Beast reports, Luyster was found guilty on Friday of three counts of first-degree aggravated murder, as well as “one count of attempted first-degree murder, and first- and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.”
Though Luyster entered a not guilty plea and his lawyer claimed he had no motive to kill his best friend Zachary Thompson, as well as his friend Joseph Lamar and Lamar’s girlfriend Janell Knight, the prosecution claimed otherwise.

How NASA watches for doomsday events

 About 17,000 undetected asteroids that are large enough to be a concern to NASA may be lurking near Earth, according to a recent report. That doesn’t mean it’s time to panic or start declaring that the world will end on Sunday (or any other day this year) because some non-existent planet is rapidly approaching Earth, but it does illustrate how seriously federal agencies and international organizations take real threats like asteroids and space weather.

Unlocking the mysteries of Mars volcanoes

Mars famously has the largest volcanoes known to science. The largest is Olympus Mons, which towers 22km above the surrounding plains – over two and a half times taller than Mount Everest. This extinct volcano is 640km wide even at its narrowest point, greater than the distance between London and Glasgow, or Los Angeles and San Francisco. And Olympus Mons isn’t alone in the Earth-beating stakes – three other Martian volcanoes are more than 10km high.

Pacific Threat

Pacific Island nations are expected to lose 50 to 80 percent of fish species by the end of the century.
The alarming number was published in a study by the Nippon Foundation-Nereus Program in Marine Policy. The oceans in the Pacific Islands in particular, according to the study, are expected to be the most severely affected by climate change in the next century. These waters are already the warmest of the global ocean, and with less seasonal variability, animals in this area may be more shocked by changing conditions.

Chimpanzees display disgust response similar to humans

Chimpanzees are our close relatives. It is widely known that humans share about 95 percent of their genetic material with chimps and bonobos. But, on the surface, the differences are stark. Chimpanzees are much bigger and stronger than humans, are better climbers and have longer hands. We can chalk up several such structural differences, but the similarities are undeniable.
