Stephen Hawking is traveling to South Africa to find brilliant minds. Technology leaders and scientists have backed a plan to provide centers for advanced math and physics so that students can be found, taught, and utilize their talents without having to leave the country first.
Business Week has a review of Microsoft's Worldwide Telescope, which is available to the public today. It pulls together 12 terabytes of data, astronomy research from the web, and updated photos from multiple telescopes (including Hubble). They say the user interface is easier to use than the similar Google Sky.
The Von Trapp villa from Sound of Music will become a hotel this summer.
The Weinsteins plan to make a live-action (muppets will still be there) Fraggle Rock movie.
CW announced their fall schedule. Supernatural will remain on Thursday nights. Reaper will come back midseason. They don't have anything else I'm planning to watch.
Despite all the buzz that it was fairly secure, Moonlight was canceled today. CBS did renew all their comedies, and they picked up 3 somewhat genre-related pilots (Eleventh Hour, The Ex List, and The Mentalist). Their full schedule will be announced tomorrow.
ABC has announced their fall schedule. Life on Mars will follow Grey's Anatomy on Thursday nights. Pushing Daisies & Private Practice remain unchanged on Wednesdays. Lost & Scrubs won't join until midseason. No other new shows we care about, but the cancellation of Men in Trees is official. Sources: Zap2It and FutonCritic. According to FutonCritic, they still have 17 pilots under consideration for midseason.
DVRs for tonight:
9pm Reaper
10pm Women's Murder Club (series finale - it was canceled yesterday)

Sorry if this post is a bit long. I'm going to be trying to catch up with a week of news.
Private Practice will be changing showrunners. Marti Noxon is leaving for "other projects" and Jon Cowan and Robert Rovner (most recently from Bionic Woman) will be taking over. I hope it manages to keep the charm it had under Marti Noxon.
SciFi has announced casting for the Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica and the 2-hour pilot Warehouse 13. Esai Morales (most recently from Jericho) will play Joseph Adama in Caprica, father of Admiral William Adama from BSG. Paula Malcomson will play the female lead on Caprica. Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly will star in Warehouse 13.
Although the US version of Life on Mars is likely to show up on the ABC lineup this fall, it may do it without David E. Kelley. After pushing the show for 2 years, he is considering dropping out (although he would still have some participation since he personally owns the rights).
Bruce Boxleitner will be joining Heroes next season as a recurring character.
Men in Trees has been canceled. This was not entirely unexpected by the producers, so they shot an alternate ending for the final episode airing this summer.
Darth Mojo, a visual effects artist on Babylon 5 for the first 3 seasons, is sharing photos from his archives on his blog. This first post shows the construction of the central corridor.
Fox has finally released the final 2 episodes of Drive for downloading ad-free.
DVRs for tonight:
5pm Sarah Jane Adventures
6pm Doctor Who
7pm Battlestar Galactica
8pm Ghost Whisperer
9pm Moonlight
10pm Numb3rs
