Oldest occurrence of amber preserved arthropods found | Pakistan ...

Posted about 2 hours ago |

Washington :? An international team of scientists has discovered the oldest record of arthropods?invertebrate animals that include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans?preserved in amber.

The specimens, one fly and two mites found in millimeter-scale droplets of amber from northeastern Italy, are about 100 million years older than any other amber arthropod ever collected.

The group?s findings are said to be helpful in paving the way for a better evolutionary understanding of the most diverse group of organisms in the world.

This finding has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

'Sin City 2' Director Confirms Casting Details

Robert Rodriguez tells MTV News that Rosario Dawson and Mickey Rourke are 'pumped' for 'A Dame to Kill For.'

After years of waiting, fans of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's "Sin City" finally got confirmation that their dreams would be answered.

Last week, Rodriguez announced he would begin production on the long-awaited sequel this summer and that casting would begin soon. The official title will be "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," taking its name from Miller's second story in the series.

MTV News spoke with Robert Rodriguez for the Blu-ray release of "Roadracers," an early film of his, and he opened up about the sequel and returning to Miller's world.

MTV: There was huge news last week with the green light for "Sin City 2." You're beginning casting now?

Robert Rodriguez: We still have to cast. I'm shooting "Machete" next month, and we go right into "Sin City." It might overlap, but we haven't done any casting yet, except for the people who we know are already in it and returning. "A Dame to Kill For," all those people come back. I just had lunch with Mickey [Rourke] this weekend. He's all excited to come back, but he's probably the first one. I saw Rosario [Dawson] too. I ran into her for something else, and she's pumped. They've always been excited about doing another one, so that will be fun.

MTV: Does casting responsibility fall primarily on you and Frank Miller?

Rodriguez: That will be the process. Frank and I go together to meet everybody, and I like seeing his reaction because he drew these characters so long and when they walk in the room, you see it on his face. He doesn't know who it's going to be until he sees them. Then he's like, "This is exactly like the character I created." It's pretty exciting.

MTV: You've said before that you wanted to use three acts again. Is that still the plan?

Rodriguez: Three is a good number. Dramatically, the three-act structure has lasted and is tried and true. I did an anthology before called "Four Rooms," and if you look it up, anthologies are never successful. That's the end of that, I thought. Then I said, "I bet I can do an anthology if it's the same director, and not four, not five, not eight stories. That's too many." Three is a good number. I think two is just weird. Three feels like a dramatic structure, even if they're separate stories. I feels like one, two, three acts and maybe a wrap around. It worked on "Sin City," and that's probably the first anthology that ever worked, that I can think of. So I'm going to stick with that template because, one, I invented it. I can claim it and go, "I'm going to do it again." If it doesn't work, then I'll know that "Sin City" was just a fluke.

MTV: Was a "Sin City" sequel always in the back of your mind? I know there have been plans for years.

Rodriguez: It was immediately [known] that we were going to do it. I think it was 2007, and I was already meeting with Angelina Jolie and people to do it. The Weinsteins had just started a new company. They just didn't have the money to do it at the time. It was like, "Go do another movie or two and come back. We'll be ready." I went off and did a couple movies. Frank went off and did some movies. Then it got harder and harder to come back and find the time to do it. We missed that moment when it was ready to go. Then it was so far afterwards that it might as well have been any time now, but people never lost their appetite for it. They still come up to us and say "When are you doing another 'Sin City'?" We thought we had to do it at some point. Now we're just making the time.

MTV: Are you still looking at casting Angelina Jolie?

Rodriguez: I haven't even gotten to meet with her yet about it or discuss with Frank about who we would want to go with or talk to first. That's a fun process, but that probably won't happen in the next month.

MTV: Several movies have imitated the style from "Sin City." Is there a desire at all to reinvent the wheel a bit?

Rodriguez: I probably thought that back then, but now, even people did green screen stuff, "Sin City" is very unique. It's not just the visuals. It's the story and how it's told and Frank's storytelling that works when you're looking at it in a book or in a film. It works in any way, shape or form. He's just a great writer and visualist and storyteller with pictures in a way that's different than what anyone else can think of. It's so unique, and I think that's why people keep asking for another "Sin City" in particular. In terms of just visuals and effects, yeah, it will evolve from the original, for sure.

Are you pumped for "Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For"? Let us know in the comments!

J. Cole Helps His Old Pal 360 Leave The Streets Behind

'He reached out while I was doing my thing and was like, 'Yo let me help you,' ' 360 tells Mixtape Daily of his Cole collabo.

Fire Starter: 360
There was a time when 360 was running around in circles, simultaneously chasing his rap dreams while being pulled by the streets' centrifugal force. Those days are over, however, and now the full-time MC is on a linear path.

"Everything that I've done it's all just come back to music at the end of the day," the Queens, New York, newcomer told Mixtape Daily. "So this time I was like, 'I'm staying. I'm not doing nothing else but music now.' "

6-0's debut EP, Everywhere and Back, which was released as a free download on his website at the top of April, is a collection of 10 original tracks. The promising rap rookie displays a consistently fluid flow, clever wordplay and a refreshing sense of humor.

Throughout, 360 holds his own collaborating with little-known producers, but he does get one major assist on the boards from Roc Nation's J. Cole. When 60 released YouTube footage of him and Cole in the studio back in February, many wondered how the newcomer hooked up with the platinum producer. It's a Queens thing, 360 explained.

"Cole, I knew him from way back. I knew him from when he was in St. Johns," he said, recalling Jermaine's college days in New York. "Basically, when it was my time to come up, he reached out while I was doing my thing and was like, 'Yo let me help you.' "

It was a crucial assist. The result is "What Goes Up," one of Everywhere and Back's standout tracks. Another is "Woulda Kid," a track that pokes fun at those who exaggerate their street bravado to impress others. "It's basically somebody that talks and never comes through, ever," 360 explained while laughing.

Now that he is no longer chasing his tail in the streets, 360 is focused on a productive career in rap. It's an age-old story, but one that never gets stale. "I really sat down and planned this. This wasn't like I was just putting songs together," he said. "The ultimate goal at the end of the day is to make a real change."

QNX's Watson-connected Porsche 911, hands-on (video)

Remember that QNX-loaded Porsche 911 we sat down with (in?) at CES? Well, it's back and it learned a few new tricks en route to New Amsterdam York City. The car-friendly software company got its hooks into AT&T's Watson Speech API and used it to power a new voice-command system for it's own take on the "virtual assistant." Using the new speech recognition tool and Ma Bell's LTE network QNX was able to pull up websites, find a Starbucks (though, in New York City you'd have to be blind to not find one) and place calls. All in all, the demo wasn't too different from what we saw in Vegas in January -- in fact, we wouldn't be surprised to find out that Porsche was also utilizing Watson, long before it was announced. For a familiar, but still interesting demo, check out the video after the break.
