  • How to Highlight Every Other Row in Excel. "Make your Excel tables easier to read by highlighting every other row in different colors with these techniques."
  • After Decades of Effort, Scientists Are Finally Seeing Black Holes – Or Are They. This is a good article on the current state of black hole theory. 
  • 12 New Studies Show How Close Insects Are to Extinction. Another worrisome trend to watch.
