...Erlandson, an archaeologist at the University of Oregon, whose work in Daisy Cave on San Miguel Island in California's Channel Island chain uncovered stone cutting tools that date to about 10,500 years B.P., proving that people were traveling across the water at least that early. More recently, researchers at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History redated the skeletal remains of an individual dubbed Arlington Springs Woman, found on another of the Channel Islands, pushing her age back to about 11,000 years B.P. Farther south, on Cedros Island off the coast of Baja California, U.C. at Riverside...

Grand treated the actor stuck in that cave with a therapy known as emdr (for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), in which the patient re-enacts a traumatic experience while continually moving his eyes from left to right and back again...
...dread and frenzy around premature burial is not unique to the post-9/11 or Internet era; there was the Baby Jessica McClure well-rescue story in 1987. One of the first such media circuses happened in 1925, when spelunker Floyd Collins was trapped in Kentucky's Sand Cave. The world was kept on tenterhooks, and 10,000 people a day, news reports said, showed up to gawk and picnic at the rescue site.
