Google has released a campaign called 10 to the Power of 100. It entails them trying to make a big difference for the world. I personally think this is amazing.

'People-person' brain area found http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8055296.stm Scientists say they have located the brain areas that may determine how sociable a person is. Warm, sentimental people tend to have more brain tissue in the outer strip of the brain just above the eyes and in a structure deep in the brain's centre. These are the same zones that allow us to enjoy chocolate and sex, the Cambridge University experts report in the European Journal of Neuroscience.
