ScienceLab:

*Solar Variability:  The resulting imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation will likely cause Earth to heat up over the next century, accelerating the melting polar ice caps, causing sea levels to rise and increasing the probability of more
violent global weather patterns.

*Bees: Wilkins used a specially designed vacuum to suck the bees off the plane and then relocated them to hives where they will produce honey.

*Giant Reptiles: Worth a read: “Yacumama is translated as Mother of the Water and reports of this giant snake abound throughout the Amazon basin and history.”

Beyond Your Mind:

*Superstitious Minds: a lightning bolt struck the copper emblem he wore around his waist and killed him instantly.

*Little Minds: Its not the fact that a “squadron” of UFO’s were spotted over Hayden Idaho that is startling or even remotely interesting in this story. It is in fact the telling of the tale by one unnamed witness, accompanied by his girlfriend “Amanda” who seems like she grew up there:

“My heart was racing as I was trying to point them out to my girlfriend who completely missed it.”

“At this point we are so shook up that we are running around like kids in the house tearing things apart trying to dig out blankets and pillows and cameras and flashlights to go and wait for them to come back.”

“When I was describing it to Amanda I used the term “angelic” in describing how they appeared.”

“Amanda went to bet at about 1 am but I could not sleep and waited all night for them.”

The report closes with the wisdom now gained and reads as such:  “I will probably never be without a camera again and I intend on staying outside until I see them again.”
OHHHH Idaho! How I cherish thee, with all thine Wal-Marts and father/uncle combos.

*Great Minds: Valuing diversity has become a truism, but it is interesting to consider exactly how diversity improves decision making.

Astonishing Planet:

* Antarcticas Ghost Alps revealed.  I have been bogged down by scientific potential and fossil discovery of this implication since the day I first heard of it. And you think Global Warming is bad…imagine what lies encrusted in valley floors, encased for Milena: ancient cities? species?
