Seven Baby Pandas

The Chengdu Panda Base research facility in Sichuan Province, China, is proud to present Oreo, Xiao Qiao, Si Yi, Yuan Run, Miao Miao, and the twins Cheng Shuang and Cheng Dui. The research center has made amazing strides in panda breeding techniques, and the seven pandas are the facility's 2012 crop of pandas born by artificial insemination.

Dr Zhang Zhihe, director of the Chengdu Panda Base, said: "We are delighted that 2012 have been such a bumper year for panda cubs at the Chengdu Panda Base.

"The birth of so many baby giant pandas is a testament to the success of our breeding programme."

D&D (especially the older versions) is also very useful for teaching children math and problem-solving skills as well as encouraging reading and imaginative play, the latter of which is very important for social and emotional development. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to play (my oldest is 3), but for now they have giant fuzzy dice to throw around.

"Now that Generation X is moving into middle age, they are leading a resurgence of the game Dungeons & Dragons."

Perhaps but another big reason for the resurgence is that D&D retooled to appeal to MMORPG gamers. 3.5 Ed was basically the end of the old D&D paradigm. 4th ed is designed around being tabletop WoW. The game has come full circle.

Old Skool D&D dork here, and yes, putting all the issues into visual elements still helps me solve problems today.
