Weeks links in review

Another new week is upon us, and this week I’ll be flying to Florida for an electric ship workshop. Anyhow, here are some links for you to peruse while I’m gone.
Science:

• Faster than a speeding photon

Everyone and their brother on the blogosphere has been up in arms about the reported faster than light neutrinos. I’m opting to remain on the conservative side here… to much uncertainty remains for such a claim.

• UARS falls to Earth

The UARS finally came down this week. People have been tracking the satellite for weeks now with anticipation of something interesting happening… it just fell into the Pacific!

Political:

• Troy Davis executed

The Troy Davis execution went ahead without a stay from the Supreme court. I have to say that I wasn’t surprised since they had denied one earlier this year. However, the evidence against Davis was dubious at best making this whole ordeal very troubling.

Interesting:

• Wing suit through cave

Incredible footage of a wing suit flight though a rock gateway formation in China… just unfathomable!

• OMG puppy break!

If you need to view something cute… click here! Puppies!

• Charity balloon release gone wrong!

Next time make sure you check the surrounding area for sharp pointy sticks… a charity balloon release gone wrong.
