Low Fuel or Bad Sensors?
He plans to continue at least to Hawaii despite a set of sensors suggesting his GlobalFlyer has enough fuel to get him home to Kansas only with good winds. If Mr Fossett passes Hawaii, he will have to travel 2,610 miles (4,200km) to the next possible landing strip.

Fermilab Experiment Prepares To Send Its First Neutrinos To Minnesota
This is pretty cool. I wonder if anyone will figure out a method of transmitting data using a neutrino stream. You could beam your it right through anything (including the receiver come to think of it. I guess that could be why it might not happen for a while).

(Thank you agent Greg for this cool news.)
Natural Nuclear Reactors
This is pretty neat, two billion years ago in Oklo Africa there was a particulary rich vein of uranium ore that started to fission. It produced enough heat to leave quartz which crystalized out of the (hot) underground waters that circulated around during and after the reactor’s operating lifetime
