Earth - View from Saturn
Not since NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft saw our home as a pale blue dot from beyond the orbit of Neptune has Earth been imaged in color from the outer solar system. Now, Cassini casts powerful eyes on our home planet, and captures Earth, a pale blue orb -- and a faint suggestion of our moon -- among the glories of the Saturn system.Earth is captured here in a natural color portrait made possible by the passing of Saturn directly in front of the sun from Cassini's point of view. At the distance of Saturn's orbit, Earth is too narrowly separated from the sun for the spacecraft to safely point its cameras and other instruments toward its birthplace without protection from the sun's glare.
Scientists Find 'Lucy' Species Skeleton
NEW YORK — Scientists have discovered a remarkably complete skeleton of a 3-year-old female from the ape-man species represented by "Lucy."The discovery should fuel a contentious debate about whether this species, which walked upright, also climbed and moved through trees easily like an ape.The remains are 3.3 million years old, making them the oldest known skeleton of such a youthful human ancestor.

Dr. Suess Unorthodox Taxidermy
Seuss embarked on an ingenious project in the early 1930s as he evolved from two-dimensional artworks to three-dimensional sculptures. What was most unusual for these mixed-media sculptures was the use of real animal parts including beaks, antlers and horns from deceased Forest Park Zoo animals where Seuss’s father was superintendent. Unorthodox Collection of Taxidermy was born in a cramped New York apartment and included a menagerie of inventive creatures with names like the “Two Horned Drouberhannis,” “Andulovian Grackler,” and “Semi-Normal Green-Lidded Fawn.”
T.M.X. Elmo
Fisher-Price, a unit of Mattel Inc., on Tuesday took the wraps off T.M.X. Elmo, ending months of unprecedented secrecy that's had the toy industry abuzz. Until the unveiling, only about 50 people had seen it. He's still red, fuzzy and really ticklish, but now Elmo's laughing fits have him slapping his knee, falling to the floor, rolling over and pounding his arm.

Brad Pitt in the next installment of "Mission Impossible." ?
Rumor has it that Parmount Pictures is looking to replace Tom Cruise with Brad Pitt for it's next installment of "Mission Impossible." In turn it would also make Brad Pitt the highest-paid actor in history. Brad Pitt's production company Plan B is based out of Paramount, so this does make some sense.

How Was "Starbucks" Named?
According to Howard Schultz's book Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time, the name of the company was derived from Moby-Dick, although not in as direct a fashion as many assume. Gordon Bowker liked the name "Pequod" (the ship in the novel), but his creative partner Terry Heckler objected: "No one's going to drink a cup of Pee-quod!" Heckler suggested "Starbo," the name of a mining camp on Mount Rainier. Combining the Moby-Dick idea with "Starbo" resulted in the company being named for the Pequod's first mate, Starbuck.

Geeks blow the cover of Internet teen darling
The revelation has sparked outrage by many YouTube viewers, who are furious at being duped and possibly set up for a corporate marketing scheme. Others are speculating that the videos were a sneaky attempt by a movie studio to drum up interest in a coming film, in much the same way The Blair Witch Project was launched in 1999.

Paula invades 'Rock Star: Supernova'
Among the very special events planned for the Tuesday (9 p.m ET/PT, CBS)-Wednesday (8 p.m.) finale is: a "guest appearance" by Paula Abdul. The press release coughs up no more information, not even which night she's on, much less what she could possibly be doing on a show that prides itself so much on its raw rock 'n' roll credibility that its co-host, Dave Navarro, frequently goes virtually shirtless and the contestants are never referred to as "people" or "contestants" but only as members of that separate, superior species, "the rockers."

Attack of the killer frisbees
A team commissioned by the US Air Force hopes to create an armed ''frisbee'' which could be guided by remote control and deployed against enemy troops.The discs would carry explosives and act as mini-bombers, dropping their loads in the presence of opposition forces.Researchers also hope ultimately the discs would operate autonomously, locating and killing enemy troops of their own accord.
