The site is known as Nunalleq and is believed to have been inhabited between AD 1350 and AD 1650. During that time, the area reportedly suffered what’s termed as “The Little Ice Age.” In contrast to our climate issues, the Yup’ik were subjected to rapidly falling temperatures and expanding ice caps.
Sounds to me like the implication is that the site was as warm as or warmer than now for the village to have been founded back in AD 1350. This also means that it is likely that the site was as warm as or warmer than now for the some of the 300 year period between AD 1350 and AD 1650 prior to the low point of the LIA.

REALLY?? You mean it just could be that the earth goes through warming and cooling cycles on it's own, and no matter how much we try to help it, it doesn't really matter much? Why, that would ruin a few peoples' days On the positive side though, we do seem to have helped in makeing and expanding a hole over the Antarctic, so we haven't entirely failed.
I would have put a picture here, but THIS computer said it was too big, and MY computer kept telling me that it would lose transparentcy when i tried to save it after re-sizing. So due to computers being computers, you'll have to click the link to see the dog.

Beautiful dog, how much food (cans) does he need per day and how big must be his playground, he needs much space like horses, or ponies, I could ride this dog,
because I am much smaller, yehaaaa

The article said a 30lb bag of dog food every 2-weeks, but i think they made an error. seems like he would eat more than that.
Yehaaaa giddy-up little doggie.
a 30lb bag every 2 days is about 2lbs per day. I have a shih tzu that eats 2-11oz cans every 3 days (fat little dog) and weighs 21lbs. 2lbs a day sounds reasonable to me

I love it! The dog is so big he doesn't fit into the computer!
I am thinking of the dog's doo...the giant dog must have giant doos right?!
Maybe it can be made to flat round things, like cow pats, this would be then dog pat...dry and burn...anyone barbecue?
A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel -- a concept popularized in television's Star Trek -- may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say.
A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre, however subsequent calculations found that such a device would require prohibitive amounts of energy.
Now physicists say that adjustments can be made to the proposed warp drive that would enable it to run on significantly less energy, potentially bringing the idea back from the realm of science fiction into science.
"There is hope," Harold "Sonny" White of NASA's Johnson Space Center said Friday (Sept. 14) at the 100 Year Starship Symposium, a meeting to discuss the challenges of interstellar spaceflight.
Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk. — Garrison Keillor
The only problem is, previous studies estimated the warp drive would require a minimum amount of energy about equal to the mass-energy of the planet Jupiter.
But recently White calculated what would happen if the shape of the ring encircling the spacecraft was adjusted into more of a rounded donut, as opposed to a flat ring. He found in that case, the warp drive could be powered by a mass about the size of a spacecraft like the Voyager 1 probe NASA launched in 1977.

Donut power!

Rob, your avatar makes me always hungry
What would scientists do, if there weren't the donuts to explain the shape of a donut so people understand easily?
Maybe car tire?

2014 pounds of Moo. That's a lot of beef to have with someone. Good thing it was with Guinness, so there was a lot of Ale to wash it all down. 
, but hey think positive!
On the positive side though, we do seem to have helped in makeing and expanding a hole over the Antarctic, so we haven't entirely failed.
