...weeks this spring, Panasonic had the world's smallest 10X optical-zoom camera. No larger than the average point-and-shoot, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 has a single compact Leica lens that can crawl right up someone's nose, or at least up to it, at 20 paces. Though Panasonic's $350 camera is still available, Kodak has just usurped Panasonic's title of world's smallest 10X zoom camera...
...there is new and powerful evidence in Tiktaalik for the steps that backboned animals took to crawl out of the sea in the first place. Many who reject evolution in favor of divine creation claim that the fossil record doesn't contain the so-called transitional species anticipated by Darwin's theory. This ancient, walking fish is yet more evidence that such an argument is simply wrong; all sorts of missing links preserved in exquisite detail have been and will be discovered...
...This, we hear the South Park kids muttering, is terminally gay. And HSM is certainly gay as in happy, perky, shiny. (Even the Goths wear pastels.)

Waterman woke up two hours ago to catch the 6:20 a.m. shuttle to MIT. She didn?...
...Given that, the best the Administration can hope for here is delay, and some artful revisions to the deal that give everyone enough cover to crawl back down out of their trees. Dubai's lobbyists are fingering amendments to the deal calling for additional proposals for greater background checks of managers and workers, as well as beefed-up security at the terminals if the deal is allowed to go through. That might be one way to salvage this operation. But it may already be too late for that band-aid, no matter how reasonable...
