Researchers in Europe, America and Japan are implanting electrodes into the bodies of patients to restore vision, treat brain disorders and help victims of paralysis regain motor function, while engineers are creating hybrid prosthetic body parts such as ankles, legs and knees in which silicon chips are melded with living tissue. Computers are moving off the desktop - and making our bodies bionic...
...Bush is keeping the energy mood as light and green as he can, posing next to fuel-efficient, low-emissions, hybrid-type cars - a truck, an SUV, and a minivan, no less - but he doesn't appear to be backing down on ANWR or Yucca Mountain.

They were also an exceedingly young band when they wrote Hybrid Theory. They wrote what they knew. Now their lives are much more interesting. "Our next record could sound like anything," says Bennington. With a little more discipline, it could even sound like what they intend...
