* Analysis: Obama's balanced foreign policy team.
* Why Ethiopia is withdrawing from Somalia.
* So, uh, where have all the acorns gone?
* Reasons to worry about the water shortage.
* "Rare artefacts from the late Stone Age have been uncovered in Russia."
* The AV Club chats with Dennis Hopper.
* Behind Showtime's newfound success.
* SciFi moves ahead with the BSG prequel, Caprica.
