...what's hot at DARPA right now? Bugs. The creepy, crawly flying kind. The Agency's Microsystems Technology Office is hard at work on HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical System), raising real insects filled with electronic circuitry, which could be guided using GPS technology to specific targets via electrical impulses sent to their muscles. These half-bug, half-chip creations - DARPA calls them "insect cyborgs" - would be ideal for surveillance missions, the agency says in a brief description on its website...

The lineup has been equally unreliable, with captain and top hitter Matt Vance playing through some pain, senior outfielder Tom Stack-Babich catching the injury bug, and the rest of the order just playing inconsistently in general.

From 1943 to 1946 he appeared in five Broadway plays, none lasting as long as four months, before coming to Hollywood. Director Henry Hathaway thought the actor too clean-cut to play Udo, but Darryl Zanuck, the boss of 20th Century-Fox, detected psychological turbulence beneath Widmark's stark, chiseled features, and the role was his, for life. It earned him the sobriquet "the face of film noir" and his only Oscar nomination...
