Macfarlane, the chair of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, listens to San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station staff during a tour of the troubled San Onofre Nuclear Power Station on Monday Jan. 14, 2013 in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. The plant located between Los Angeles and San Diego hasn't produced electricity in nearly a year, after a tiny radiation leak led to the discovery of excessive wear on hundreds of tubes that carry radioactive water.

A Helen’s Flying Frog perches on a branch in Nui Ong Nature Reserve in Vietnam's Binh Thuan Province in this May 23, 2009 handout picture provided by the Australian Museum. Australian biologist Jodi Rowley and Vietnamese colleagues have made a surprise discovery - a new species of flying frog gliding and jumping around less than 100 km (62 miles) from one of Southeast Asia's busiest cities. Though discovered in 2009, it has taken until now to identify it for certain as a new species. It has been named Helen's Tree Frog (Rhacophorus helenae) after Rowley's mother, who is suffering from ovarian cancer and was very excited about having the "charismatic" amphibian named after her.

FILE - In this March 30 2010 file picture s cientist of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, react in the SMS experiment control room at their headquarter outside Geneva, Switzerland. The world's largest and most powerful atom smasher goes into a 2-year hibernation in March 2013 , aiming to reach maximum energy levels that may lead to more stunning discoveries after hunting down the so-called "God particle. But physicists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, won't exactly be idle as the US $10 billion proton collider goes on hiatus for maintenance and retooling _ in preparation for unlocking more mysteries. There are still reams more data to sift through since the July discovery of a new subatomic particle called a Higgs boson and promises a new realm of understanding in subatomic science.

Manioc roots of various shapes and sizes are displayed in a supermarket in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Monday, Dec. 17, 2012. Grown in some 80 countries worldwide and known internationally as yuca, cassava or mogo, manioc has its origins in Brazil: It was the main food source for indigenous tribes since before the discovery of the New World. Even now, manioc remains an important source of carbohydrates, especially among Brazil's working class, who grind it into a rich, nutty flour or deep-fry it into greasy fries. (AP Photo/Andre Penner)

This is an undated image released by the Natural History Museum in on Wednesday Dec. 12, 2012 of the Piltdown skull. It was an archaeological hoax that fooled scientists for decades. A century on, researchers are determined to find out who was responsible for Piltdown Man, the missing link that never was. In December 1912, a lawyer and amateur archaeologist named Charles Dawson announced he'd made an astonishing discovery in a gravel pit in southern England _ prehistoric remains, up to 1 million years old, that combined the skull of a human and the jaw of an ape. It was 40 years before the find was exposed as a hoax by scientists at London's Natural History Museum _ the same institution that had announced the find in 1912. The museum is marking the 100th anniversary of the hoax with a new push to find out who did it _ and why. (AP Photo/Natural History Museum) NO ARCHIVE
