As if President Obama's first inauguration wasn't amazing enough, the reelected Prez is making this inauguration bigger than we all imagined with a star-studded parade, party, and music selection. Liberal and outspokenly democrat celebs like Beyonce and Katy Perry will be adding a sparkle to the already historical event. And, of course, more African Americans need to be involved, so who better to invite but epic Stevie Wonder, Oprah, and Usher? A rather funny choice is Brad Paisley, but at least someone will be there to give those syubborn southerners a reason to watch ;)

The SLS AMG was designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival of the newly redesigned car. The car has a long bonnet, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. The SLS AMG was developed from late 2006 in tandem with the Dodge Viper, with mules using Viper body panels over an aluminum chassis developed by Dodge SRT.[9][10] The SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, not in a mix of upwards and forward like the SLR. The doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car.[5] In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.

There was an epidemic of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in 2002/03, which started in China and infected 8,000 people around the world killing at a rate of 1 out of 10, mainly from kidney failure. A new virus has been discovered in 2012, that is thought to be a lot like SARS, and has most likely originated in Middle East. It has killed a man in Saudi Arabia, and left a man in London in critical condition. The main symptoms are: difficulty breathing, cough and chills. the virus is airborne and appears not to be easily spread from person to person. Michael Osterholm, a flu expert at the University of Minnesota voiced his concern saying “You don’t die from the common cold. This gives us reason to think it might be more like SARS.” This is a very serious situation and people aren't advised to travel until we know more!

Masses of people die from poor sanitation around the world, due to the fact that they don't have clean toilet access. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been heavily involved in funding sanitation projects, to reduce this problem. They've put in almost $150 million into them. Their latest investment is in the Caltech Toilet Reinvention Project. This future toilet in the making is going to be cheap, hygienic, solar-powered, self-cleaning and will convert urine and waste into hydrogen and fertilizer. Caltech received $1.6 million in funding and will have the prototype ready to ship to Africa, with a price tag of approximately $2,200 by December 2013.
