That Eric "Discrete Hypothesis" Cantor is right. I just searched for "feces" and found 10 awards! Feces has a major role in smelling and monkey ballistic games and can't possibly be used for anything good. Plus, I doubt reputable scientists would try to include tangential applications in attempt to make their research seem worthwhile.
For great math books that will bring out the kid in you (by means of an entertaining fantasy story as a pedagogical approach), I recommend Algebra the Easy Way (Barron's Educational Series) (ISBN 0764119729, $13.95US) and Calculus the Easy Way (also Barron's Educational Series) (ISBN 0812091418, $13.95US), both by Douglas A. Downing. I wouldn't necessarily recommend other titles in the series (not having read them), but these two follow the exploits of people from the Kingdom of some-name-I-forget-how-to-spell. I read them as a child interested in learning more mathematics, and they definitely focus on a solid conceptual understanding. Share them with your kids as a good bedtime story! I used to beg my mom to read the Algebra book to me.
Since it is Earth Week, if you are interested in efficient building, check out the Rocky Mountain Institute. I just heard Amory Lovins (co-author of Natural Capitalism) speak last night. In their energy-efficient headquarters, located in the mountains of Colorado, they grow bananas year-round.
Beat that, black paint people!
I hope that they know what they're doing...

...but I can't tell right now because the link is broken. Here's why I'm concerned:
Because black is also a perfect radiator, if used improperly, this could end up increasing your energy bills by radiating all of your house's internal energy. The key would be to make it perfectly black in the visible spectrum but also make it white/reflective in longer wavelengths, like infrared.
In the winter, it's more important to keep internally generated heat in rather than absorb outside heat at the risk of losing it all. For instance, when the sun goes down, your house would still be black and radiating!
If, indeed, the "clobbering" refers to the g-2 muon anomaly experiment recently completed by Brookhaven, then it has no effect on the relevance of Run II. In fact, if you read the press release and other information on the Fermi Lab website, you'll realize that both experiments have similar purposes: to probe physics beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry. These additional elements enrich the Standard Model, definitely not clobbering it.
