Page 6A TV TIME East Oregonian Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Whale of a mystery solved? How they got so big WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists think they have answered a whale of a mystery: How the ocean creatures got so huge so quickly. A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged maybe 15 feet long. That’s big, but you could still hold a fossil skull in two hands. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale — the toothless baleens — became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet, the largest creatures ever on Earth. Its skull is now bigger than a minivan and could probably fit more than five people inside, researchers said. “We really are living in the time of giants,” said study co-author Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. “Why is that?” And it happened “in the blink of an evolutionary eye,” which makes it harder to figure out what happened, said Graham Slater at the University of Chicago, lead author of the study. Their study has proposed an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.

A&E WEEK Bethany Newtson PREMIUM Griswold High School NIGHT OWL STATION PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX 2801 St. Anthony Way, Pendleton, OR • 541-276-5121 6:30 Baleen whales, which have no teeth, feed by gulping tremendous amount of ocean, filtering out the water and eating the critters they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales, hunt individual fish or squid, so the ocean changes that made food less evenly spread out didn’t affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish or swarms of krill, Pyenson said. “If you are a whale, the easiest way to take advantage of dense but sparsely available resources is to get big,” Slater said. “If you are big, you basically can get more miles to the gallon.” Baleen whales went from 15 to 100 feet in about the same time as humans evolved, he said. Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, who wasn’t part of the study, calls it “a really convincing scenario.” But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales were smaller and they will have a more diffi- cult time surviving, Slater and others said.

Trump has predicted the investigations won’t find collusion, and his efforts to cast doubt and curb the probes have led to the appointment of a special counsel at the Justice Department. News reports that Trump asked his national intelli- gence director and National Security Agency chief to state publicly there was no evidence of collusion have heightened criticism. Dan Coats, the current U.S. director of national intelligence, declined to comment Tuesday on a Washington Post report that said the president had asked him to publicly deny any collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign. A day earlier, Flynn had invoked his constitutional right not to incriminate himself in response to the Senate committee’s request for details about interac- tions between him and the Russians. Trump associates Paul Manafort and Roger Stone have provided the committee with information, while former campaign adviser Carter Page has not. The Senate panel on Tuesday decided to issue two additional subpoenas to Flynn’s businesses and sent the letter to his lawyer asking about the legal basis for his invoking his Fifth Amend- ment right over documents as opposed to testimony. Investigators also have questions about contacts between the Russians and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Brennan said he had seen intelligence that “revealed contacts and interactions” between Russian officials and Americans “involved” in the Trump campaign. He said this was cause for concern “because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals, and it raised questions in my mind, again, whether or not the Russians were able to gain the cooper- ation of those individuals.” In late July of last year there was so much concern that he convened a group of officials from the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency to focus on it exclu- sively. CABLE WASHINGTON (AP) — Former CIA Director John Brennan told Congress Tuesday he personally warned Russia last summer against interfering in the U.S. presidential election and was so concerned about Russian contacts with people involved in Donald Trump’s campaign that he convened top counterintelligence offi- cials to focus on it. Meanwhile, a Senate committee issued two additional subpoenas to businesses of ousted Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, one of several key figures in the Russia-Trump campaign probe, and sent a letter to his lawyer questioning his basis for claiming a Fifth Amend- ment right not to provide documents. If there is no response from Flynn, the Senate Intelligence Committee may consider a contempt-of-Con- gress charge, said Chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina. “Everything is on the table,” Burr said. Everything but immunity, he added. Tuesday’s letter narrowed the scope of the documents the panel is seeking. Flynn had rejected the earlier subpoena for records as being so broad that providing them could make him vulnerable. Former CIA chief Bren- nan’s testimony to the House intelligence committee was the clearest public indication yet of the significance the Russia contacts play in coun- terintelligence investigations that continue to hang over the White House. Brennan, who was Pres- ident Barack Obama’s CIA director, said he couldn’t say whether there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, an issue being investigated by congressional committees and now a federal special counsel. “I don’t have sufficient information to make a determination about whether or not such cooperation or complicity or collusion was taking place,” Brennan said. “But I know there was a basis to have individuals pull those threads.” Brennan noted anew that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded “Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. demo- cratic process, denigrate Secretary (Hillary) Clinton and harm her electability and potential presidency, and of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales — which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations and knowledge about how evolution works, they started filling in the gaps between the small whales and the modern super-sized version. They keyed in on a time period when the whales got huge and smaller whale species went extinct, somewhere between a few hundred thousand years ago and 4.5 million years ago. They concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted. Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator and then eventually bubbled back up in patches rich with the small fish and other small critters that whales eat. Before that, whale food was spread out, relatively easy to get at. Now, they are giant buffets amid hundreds of miles of whale food deserts. That’s why you can see lots of whales in the summer in California’s Monterey Bay, Slater said. 11 KPTV 3 (19) KEPR 2 KOIN 19 (25) KNDU 6 KGW 8 (42) KVEW 4 KATU 5 (11) KFFX 12 AM 12:30 :05 Friends :35 Hot In 1 AM 1:30 2 AM 2:30 3 AM 3:30 :05 CR TV 2 Broke G.
