The Alabama bunker in which a young boy was held hostage for a week also had homemade bombs.
CBS News tweeted that Jimmy Lee Dykes, the man who took the 5-year-old hostage, had stored homemade bombs in his underground bunker.
Dykes was killed when authorities invaded the bunker Monday in southeastern Alabama. The 5-year-old was successfully freed.
The boy’s grandmother told the Associated Press she fears the crisis will stay with the child for the rest of his life.

Watch the University of Edinburgh’s Harald Haas discuss how future wireless data can be transmitted through lightbulbs.
When we use smartphones or tablet PCs to surf the internet, check emails, share pictures, engage in social networking, or store information in a cloud, we make use of wireless communications technology.
Traditionally, all the information we move around with these devices is transmitted using radio frequency spectrum. The more data we generate, the more radio frequency spectrum we need.
It is forecast that by the year 2015, we will transmit six exabytes — six billion, billion bytes — every month through wireless networks. This is a ten-fold increase on the amount of data we send now.

Nervous about of the much-hyped impending blizzard? Well, If you live in New York this may put you slightly at ease: The city uses some pretty high-tech equipment to remove snow.
In addition to more traditional plows and sweepers, the city’s Metropolitan Transit Authority has essentially mounted jet engines on wheels to decimate snow with huge blasts of air.
Although these machines are high-tech and impressive, there’s one drawback: they’re loud. “If you live near the tracks you definitely hear these going by,” MTA spokesperson Aaron Donovan told The Huffington Post on Friday.

At 7 years old, Zora Ball has become the youngest person to create a mobile video game.
The app was unveiled at the FATE Bootstrap Expo, held at the University of Pennsylvania last month.
Ball developed the game using programming language Bootstrap, which is usually taught to students between the ages of 12 and 16, to help them learn concepts of algebra via video game development.
According to Mashable, Ball also successfully reconfigured the app when asked to do so at the Expo, silencing anyone who may have thought that her older brother — a STEM scholar of the year — helped her program the game.

Lynsi Torres, the 30-year-old president and owner of In-N-Out Burger, is the youngest female billionaire in the U.S., Bloomberg reports. Her grandparents Harry and Esther Snyder founded the hamburger chain.
Torres does not have a college degree or much formal management training, Bloomberg reports. Thanks to In-N-Out’s large fan base at its nearly 280 restaurants in five states, the chain is now worth roughly $1.1 billion, according to estimates — 19,298 times more than the median U.S. household in 2010.

Authorities are searching for a suspect described as a white male in his 60s, according to Fox 10. He was last seen driving away from the scene in a white SUV.
Police said one victim was in extremely critical condition, ABC 15 reports.
Police didn’t immediately release the name of the possible suspect or a motive for the shooting, which left two other victims with non-life threatening injuries.

Casting a Hollywood film takes a great deal of patience, especially when a studio’s first choice turns down a role.
From “Iron Man” to “Pretty Woman,” some of the biggest hits may have had a totally different look if the lead roles hadn’t been passed on by other actors. We’ve gathered 12 major roles that were recast — and the actors who missed out on and scored the part.

The burger is one of those American foods that will never go away. There have been books written and movies filmed about the subject. In some restaurants, burgers have reached such cult status that it would simply be impossible for there to be any more hype about them.
One broad shift has been rocking the ground meat world for years: the explosion of fast casual chains. While McDonald’s, Burger King and other fast food chains are constantly innovating and attempting to come up with more “premium” items, they are also struggling to lure people that have chosen fast casual over fast food. One difference? Burgers made to order.

One of the most important characteristics of an alien planet is whether or not it falls into what’s called the habitable zone — a Goldilocks-like range of not-too-close, not-too-far distances from the parent star that might allow the planet to host life.
Now scientists have redefined the boundaries of the habitable zone for alien planets, potentially kicking out some exoplanaets that were thought to fall within it, and maybe allowing a few that had been excluded to squeeze in.
“This will have a significant impact on the number of exoplanets that are within habitable zone,” said research team leader Ravi Kumar Kopparapu of Penn State University.
.
A new definition of the habitable zone around planets, denoting where liquid water
could exist, shifts Earth toward the very edge of the solar system’s own habitable zone.
