Grizzly + Polar = Grolar Bear
DNA testing confirmed that the bear in this picture is a hybrid between a grizzly and polar bear. Scientists attribute the hybrid to global warming forcing the two bear species into each others’ habitats.

Big Minds Colliding
Colliding with nature’s best-kept secrets – CNN.com
Visiting a particle accelerator is like a religious experience, at least for Nima Arkani-Hamed.
Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed’s predictions about undiscovered properties of nature.
Arkani-Hamed is only in his mid-30s, but he has already distinguished himself as one of the leading thinkers in the field of particle physics.
His revolutionary ideas about the way the universe works will finally be put to the test later this year at Switzerland’s Large Hadron Collider, which, when completed, will be the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.

I want an R2 Unit!
This is an interview and video with a R2 builder at Maker Faire 2008. It looks amazing, and it looks like fun especially with the kids.
I had a remote control one years ago, a much smaller early 80s version, and it’s funny that they mention voice controlled in this interview about the droid. My remote version was on the same frequency as my walkie talkie, and I could key up the mic on it and make sounds into the thing and the R2 unit would pick up on it and move. Hours of enjoyment for a Star Wars Freak.
Star Wars: DIY R2-D2 Is Even Better than the Real Thing
Chris James’ R2-D2 won four Make Magazine editors’ choice ribbons at Maker Faire and it’s easy to see why: not only does it have every detail from the original
