Marshall, West Virginia's second largest university, now has more than 30 Saudis--nearly four times as many as last year--making them the fourth largest foreign contingent in a student body...

The Pacific region - Washington, Oregon and California - came in next with regional prices increases of 18.75%.

"Skeletal remains are very rare, but the genetic evidence suggests they came from the Lake Baikal region" of Russia, says anthropologist Ted Goebel of the University of Nevada at Reno, who has worked extensively in that part of southern Siberia. "There is a rich archaeological record there," he says, "beginning about 40,000 years ago."
