President Obama meets with some six-year-old Girl Scouts who participated in the White House science fair. They designed an electric page-turner to help people who are paralyzed or have arthritis to read. Also they're adorable, though in and of itself that isn't enough to get you invited to the White House. I'm not sure why they're wearing capes, but as a general matter I think more people should wear capes.
