No, the Martians haven't invaded
This is only a test. Seriously. That's what the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, wants the public to know about the first nationwide test of the emergency alert system, scheduled for today.

Da Vinci art on show in London
A landmark exhibition of paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci goes on show at London's National Gallery today, the first time so many of his masterpieces have been displayed together. Among the nine paintings are his two versions of the Virgin of the Rocks, which will hang face to face for the first time. Da Vinci (self-portrait, pictured) is thought to have produced about 20 paintings during his lifetime, but just 15 have survived. The exhibition, which also includes more than 50 drawings, focuses on Da Vinci's observation, imagination and painting technique, which developed while he was employed as the court painter in Milan in the 1480s and 1490s.
