A better battery is hard to invent
A Michigan battery start-up has been garnering lots of attention lately for a breakthrough. It addresses a key question on many people's minds: why do computer chips in our phones improve exponentially – under what is called Moore's Law – but our batteries die by lunchtime?
"You know, there are actually very few technology areas whose key performance index follows Moore's law," says Ann Marie Sastry, founder of the battery start-up Sakti3. "Do your clothes follow Moore's law in terms of how they last? Does interior paint?"
Building the battery of tomorrow is hard. It's up against certain limits of chemistry.
Sastry quit her engineering professor job at the University of Michigan to take it on. The company produces what are called solid-state batteries. There are no liquids inside to hog valuable space and weight. Just the essentials.
"In a liquid system, the liquid in your battery, or the gel in your battery, is only a highway for the ions to move to the active material," Sastry says. "And that is actually penalizing your energy density."
Energy density is the key concept – how much oomph can you pack in a light, tiny battery package. Sakti3's big moment came when it announced it smashed a key technical barrier: packing 1,000 units of energy – or kilowatt hours -- into one liter of volume.
"We were pretty thrilled because today's battery technologies are hovering around 600," Sastry says.
The upshot: a power source that can last almost twice as long, for half the price or less. Or in car terms, it pushes toward the goal of an electric vehicle with no range issues, at a price of about $25,000.
Right now, it's all potential. Sakti3 has to figure out large-scale production, which could take two years to market. Or more.
"Scientific discovery does not respect your timeline," says clean energy investor Matt Nordan, co-founder and managing partner at MNL Partners in Boston.
Nordan has seen many exciting lab announcements end up in the technology graveyard.
"You can sit down and lay out 'I'm going to do these experiments in this order with this many people over this many months, and I'm going to get to this answer,'" says Nordan. "And you know what, you might get it tomorrow morning, you might get it five years from now. You might get it never."
The notion of tomorrow, as in almost there, has been a tease of electric vehicles for decades.

"The EV has been the car of tomorrow for 100 years," says business professor David Kirsch of the University of Maryland, author of "The Electric Vehicle and the Burden of History." "It's always been a day away. There have been predictions even in the modern era since the late 1960s about what the coming golden area of electric vehicles."
The key is a more competitive battery, but it's more than that. The incumbent liquid fuel – gasoline – is far more energy dense and some argue always will be. It's a liquid that's easy to transport down a pipeline and pour in your car. For all the carbon pollution minuses, gasoline has lots of everyday pluses.
Still, the challenge is not insurmountable, Sastry argues. She reads history more optimistically.
"When better technology becomes available, it can be adopted with breathtaking speed," Sastry says. "If you just look at the computing revolution, that's clear. Now we're in the cloud and that is revolutionary, and that's clear. Does portable high energy density power change everything? Yes. It changes everything."Scott Tong/Marketplace
She says her breakthrough battery may first show up in consumer electronics and wearable devices like smart watches.
But automaker GM has already invested in her ideas. And there are whispers Sakti3 is testing a "next-next-generation" product: a new material with even better properties than today's lithium.

FBI head concerned over Apple and Google encryption
The director of the FBI, James Comey, is criticizing the planned use of sophisticated encryption technology by companies such as Apple and Google. The technology would make data on phones inaccessible to any third party, so the companies couldn't turn it over to law enforcement even if they wanted to or were served with a warrant.
Speaking at the Brookings Institution, Comey referred to the problem as "going dark"—where a target becomes invisible to law enforcement. "Those charged with protecting our people aren't always able to access the evidence we need to prosecute crime and prevent terrorism, even with lawful authority," he said. With unbreakable encryption, "we have the legal authority to intercept and access information pursuant to a court order, but we lack the technical ability to do that."
In the past, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt has implied the government has itself to blame, and that government surveillance excesses could cost U.S. companies their customers.
"It's clear that the global community of internet users doesn't like being caught up in the U.S. surveillance dragnet," he said.
Revelations stemming from Edward Snowden's leaking of classified information on government surveillance could cost companies like Google and Apple their bottom line. "Surveillance related consumer concerns could cost U.S. cloud service providers up to one-fifth of their foreign market share...this is going to cost America jobs," said Schmidt.
Government intrusion is not the only customer concern about tech companies such as Apple and Google. Hackers have already demonstrated they can breach security at banks and department stores as well as at tech companies including Microsoft and Google.
"Any back door that the NSA or law enforcement builds into an encryption mechanism can also be exploited by hackers in the U.S. and abroad," says Ginger McCall, Associate Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
Comey argues that such security risks should not outweigh law enforcement's need to protect the public.
Reflecting the current constellation of mistrust and concerns over privacy and security, McCall makes a similar argument: it doesn't make sense to say we can't eliminate all crime, therefore exposure of the public is desirable. "One or two outlier criminal cases are not a justification to subvert the privacy and security of the data of the entire nation."

PODCAST: Travel bans
It's been a rocky week for investors--One of the worst and most volatile in a while. But markets are up this morning in the U.S. and Europe. More on that. And as two U.S. health care workers who have contracted Ebola continue to receive treatment, several dozen politicians have called for a ban on travel from West African nations stricken by Ebola. Politics aside, there are many Americans who say they'd support some kind of travel ban. But what constitutes a travel ban? And this weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the "National Organ Transplant Act." That created our current organ donation system, and banned the sale of organs. Today, there are more than 120,000 people waiting for a transplant, and that long list has led a bioethicist to call for changes to the law.
Why a travel ban is so tough to pull off
Calls for banning travel from West African nations stricken by Ebola grew louder this week. Loud enough that during intense questioning Thursday, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had to remind Congress that the CDC doesn't issue visas.
Politics aside, many Americans support the idea of a travel ban. But what exactly does a travel ban mean?
Aid organizations say it's crucial that commercial airlines keep flying to West Africa. That's how volunteer doctors and nurses get there.
"These people are not there for the duration of the epidemic," says Gilbert Burnham with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He says many stay a month or six weeks, "then they're likely to rotate out and other people rotate in."
So is a travel ban a ban on flights, or on people? Logistically, it may seem simple to just cancel incoming flights from Sierra Leone, Guinea or Liberia.
Right now, though, there are no direct flights to the U.S. from those countries, according to John Wagner, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Transportation policy expert Kenneth Button of George Mason University says it can be harder to track people who fly indirectly, if they purchase different tickets for different legs.
"They could actually buy a separate ticket from Guinea or Sierra Leone to Paris and then have a separate ticket from Paris to the United States," he says, adding they could lay over for a few days in the middle.
That's part of the reason some lawmakers want to suspend visas for non-U.S. citizens from Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, until the Ebola outbreak is contained.Do you think there should be a travel ban on countries most affected by Ebola?

The push to better reimburse organ donors
Ever since the National Organ Transplant Act was established 30 years ago this month, ushering in our current organ donation system, it has been enshrined in the law and the medical community in the U.S. that we don't pay for organ donations.
But bioethicist Sigrid Fry-Revere is trying to challenge that notion, at least a little.
Currently, there are 120,000 people waiting for a transplant, while only 8,200 people donated organs between January and July 2014, according to statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services. Most of those waiting need a kidney transplant, which is one of few organs that can be donated both by the living and the dead.
So, why aren't there more kidneys?
Fry-Revere wondered that while trying to donate a kidney to an ailing friend. She wasn't able to do so, because she would need six weeks to recover and would need $8,000 to hire someone to tend her Virginia farm, she says.
"My recipient was wealthy enough to pay $8,000 for a farm-hand, but it was against the law for him to do that," because that would have seemed like she was getting paid upfront to donate her kidney, says Fry-Revere.
In the end, her friend died waiting on the transplant list.
Fry-Revere looked around the world to see if the problem was the same elsewhere. She discovered that it wasn't in Iran, where there is an established practice of paying for organs, and kidneys are available to everyone who needs a transplant. The benefits and cash payments to donors there can total as much as three times the annual income of a typical Iranian, says Fry-Revere, who authored the book "The Kidney Sellers: A Journey of Discovery in Iran."
Fry-Revere wants to bring a version of that concept to the U.S., by paying people upfront for any expenses they might incur from donating an organ.
Currently, more than half of organ donations come form people who have died. But very few people die in the right set of conditions to allow for organ harvesting. So, in order to get more organs, you have to increase the number of living donors, says Fry-Revere. But that's hard to do in the current U.S. system, she says, because of strict guidelines about how donors can be compensated for expenses related to their donation. Namely, donors cannot be paid for expenses before they donate, but can sometimes be compensated for some expenses, such as lost wages, after the fact.
And that's a disincentive, Fry-Revere says, because most people can't afford to spend money first and then wait for reimbursement.
"We have patients that have trouble coming to clinic because they can't afford the gas," says Dr. Stephen Pastan, medical director of kidney and pancreas transplant programs at the Emory Transplant Center in Atlanta, Georgia. "Unfortunately, financial barriers, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged people, often play a large role in them not being able to become kidney donors."
Pastan says a lot of his patients are African-American with socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, and they are disproportionately affected by the lack of donor kidneys.
There is a National Living Donor Assistance Program, set up to offer some financial reimbursement to donors. But the current system isn't meeting the need, Pastan says.
"What I think we should do is do a better job of paying donors' expenses, and paying them upfront," Fry-Revere says.
The details of Fry-Revere's proposal are to amend current law so that organ donors can get cash upfront in the form of a pre-paid debit card loaded with as much as $14,000. The money would be use to pay for any expenses such as taking time away from work, childcare, and transportation costs.
"We want to remove any barriers to people who have come forward to be a living donor," says Troy Zimmerman, head of governmental affairs at the National Kidney Foundation, "But if it has any appearances of having an incentive to donate, that is something that the kidney foundation is very much opposed to."
But Fry-Revere says there are no ethical dilemmas in her proposal or dangers that the poor might be exploited for their organs by rich patients.
In trying to shelter the poor from the possibility of exploitation, Fry-Revere says we have actually created a perverse inequality, in which transplant patients with financial means are better off in the living donor program, "because the system does allow recipients to reimburse the donor's travel, lodging and lost wages. But that assumes a rich recipient."

2 ml bite volume??
Posted by: TomD on May-24-06 12:50 PM (EST)
Perhaps I've misunderstood, but I strongly doubt that a black-fly takes on 2 milliliters of fluid when it bites. This is equivalent to the volume of a block 1 cm x 1 cm x 2 cm in dimension. Compare this to a black-fly, and I think you'll see that this dwarfs the fly itself. No doubt the persistence of the fly and the pain and itching from the bite make one think they've consumed this much. I suspect that in fact, the volume is closer to 2 micro-liters (1/1000th the size).

OLYMPIA — The state attorney general's office will weigh in on a potential fight between the Legislature and the Executive branch over the meaning of three little words: "within available funds."
Those three words appear twice in a 2005 statute that requires state agencies to develop "quality management systems" to help figure out ways to do their jobs better. Most agencies have never done such assessments because the deadlines were delayed and then the recession hit and budgets tightened.
This year, the governor's office asked for another delay. The Legislature said no, but it also didn't set aside any extra money for the assessments. Last month, Marty Brown, director of the Office of Financial Management, told agency leaders not to perform the quality management assessments because after billions of dollars of budget cuts, the funds aren't available.
"The intent was, if you had the money you would do this; if you didn't, you wouldn't," Brown said Thursday.
In the statute's three paragraphs that call for the development of quality management systems, the first two contain the words "within available funds." The third paragrah does not add that caveat.
Two legislative Democrats, Rep. Mark Miloscia of Federal Way and Sen. Jim Kastama of Puyallup, who are running respectively for state auditor and secretary of state, are challenging the order to drop the quality assessments. They sent a letter to Gov. Chris Gregoire, objecting to Brown's directive to the agencies, and a separate letter to the attorney general's office, asking for an opinion on whether the assessments have to be done.
"They're getting rid of accountability," Miloscia said in an interview Thursday.
Not so, says Brown. The state has other programs to improve performance, such as the Lean system that private businesses use to look for waste and the Government Management Accountability Project.
But those look at different things, Miloscia said. If a governor can ignore this law that requires state agencies to do something, he or she could ignore other laws requiring other actions. He drafted the legislation in 2005 and contends it says "within available funds" because the Legislature never intended to give the agencies extra money for the assessments. They'd have to find ways to pay for it within the budgets they had.
In the past, the Legislature approved delays requested by Gregoire. This year, it dropped the requested delay from the final budget deal that passed on the last day of the special session. But it didn't come up with any extra money, and it didn't repeal the words "within available funds" from the existing law.
Deputy Solicitor General Jeffrey Even said he would research the question and come up with an informal opinion about the legal meaning of those words. That analysis typically takes about two months, he said, so it should be available by mid August.
OLYMPIA — Some races are starting to fill up quickly on the first morning of filing week as many of the expected candidates and a few surprises turn in their forms and fees.
The top of the ballot for the Aug. 7 primary, the U.S. Senate race, had three names before lunchtime: Incumbent Democrat Maria Cantwell, state Sen. Mike Baumgartner of Spokane's 6th Legislative District were "givens." But filing first was a previously unheralded candidate, Chuck Jackson of Snohomish. He listed Republican as his party preference, and scaryreality.com as his e-mail provider.
The statewide race attracting the most attention so far is secretary of state. Incumbent Sam Reed is retiring, and five candidates already want to take his place. First in the blocks, and perhaps the first person to file this morning at 8:00 a.m., was Sam Wright of Olympia, who lists his preference as the Human Rights Party. Perhaps more recognizable to a larger chunk of the state's electorate is former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, listing Democrat as his party preference. Democratic State Sen. Jim Kastama also wants that job, as does Democrat Kathleen Drew, a former state senator, and Karen Murray of Quincy, who lists the Constitution Party as her preference.
On a local note, Spokane County Treasurer Rob Chase filed for the County Commissioner seat being vacated by fellow Republican Mark Richard.
For more candidate filings, go inside the blog. We'll update the list several times a day.
OLYMPIA — Senate Republicans and the conservative Democrats who helped them pass an alternate budget last month said they are no closer to agreement on a plan to fix the state's operating budget problems.
"The longer we stay here, the less sustainable th budget they put out becomes," Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, said. The proposal released Wednesday morning by House Democrats "just moved us farther apart as far as the structure of the budget."
Prospects that both chambers will pass a budget and accompanying reforms before the next Tuesday, when the special session is scheduled to end, seemed to grow dimmer with each passing hour.
Zarelli, the ranking Republican on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, contended it was the GOP and the three "road kill" Democrats who have given up the most in negotiations over certain reforms. They dropped a proposal to skip next year's payment to the state pension system and a proposal to close one of the pension plans. But they want to end early retirement provisions for state employees set up under two separate laws; House Democrats are proposing just ending the most recent law.
"We've moved significantly, but we're not going to fold our tent and go home," Zarelli said. Democrats have supported the complete package of changes to early retirement provisions in the past, he added.
Sen. Jim Kastama of Puyallup, one of the three Democrats who voted for the budget crafted by Republicans, said a new proposal to pass a law requiring a balanced budget for two years and develop ways to balance it over four years doesn't go far enough toward the goal of structuring spending plans so legislators don't face massive cuts every year when they start a session.
The Legislature already passes a balanced budget over two years, even if that's not required by law, Kastama added. "If we didn't do that, we couldn't sell our bonds."
Through the assembled reporters, the coalition of senators traded jabs with House Democrats and their earlier statements about who was responsible for the slow progress toward a budget deal in this latest special session. Each group accused the other of refusing to make concessions, and painted themselves as the ones giving the most in closed door negotiations.
House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, had said negotiators hadn't even been able to negotiate the budget because of Senate Republicans insistence on reforming state government. "We've come significantly toward their position."
Countered Zarelli: "I don't see it as a good faith effort. They want to take the last few days before Easter, and send an Easter egg our way."
To complete its work by Tuesday, the House will have to pass a budget and the bills surrounding it sometime this week, and send them to the Senate where it must pass in the same version. House Democratic leaders said they don't know if they have the votes to pass some of the reforms they are proposing; if they do, it goes to the Senate where Democrats also hold a majority but don't have the votes to pass the current proposal.
Asked whether the state was looking at another special session — which would be the third since Thanksgiving to address the current budget problem — Zarelli said Republicans expected "to be flexible but not roll over" and weren't going to be rushed into a vote: "It's going to take whatever time it takes."
OLYMPIA — Supporters of a bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry in Washington state inched closer to passage today as one of the few "undecideds" said he would be voting yes.
Sen. Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup, said times have changed and "I believe we have reached the point where society is ready to recognize and support same-sex couples who seek the bonds, benefits and security of marriage."
According to a tally by the Associated Press, the same-sex marriage bill had 23 yes votes prior to Kastama announcing his decision. It needs at least 25 to pass the Senate.
Meanwhile, Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, a sponsor of the bill, said major corporations including Microsoft, Group Health and RealNetworks said they will support same-sex marriage.
OLYMPIA — Five days left in this election cycle, but here's some candidates for the 2012 election.
Sen. Craig Pridemore, D-Vancouver, said today he'll run for State Auditor. Longtime Auditor Brian Sonntag announced more than a month ago he wouldn't seek re-election, and Rep. Mark Miloscia, D-Federal Way, got in the race in October, and Rep. Chris Reykdahl, D-Olympia set up "an exploratory committee" to consider the run. One possible factor in Pridemore's decision: Sen. Lisa Brown, the Senate Majority leader from Spokane, said earlier this week she would not run for auditor.
Rep. Zack Hudgins, D-Tukwila, is running for Secretary of State. That seat is also open, as longtime Sec. State Sam Reed announced this summer he was retiring. State Sen. Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup, and Republican Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman are already in that race.
All the state reps will give up their seats if they stay in the race. So will Pridemore and Kastama, because they face re-election in 2012. So the dominoes could start falling in legislative districts around the state.

We are in the business to create and take risks, not to reassure accountants
We in the media seem to have an overriding obsession with being in the assurance business rather than the invention business.
We work to create new things and have fun doing it, but risk sucking the joy from our lives either through suspicion, a blinkered mathematical approach or a lack of conviction.
Our priorities seem to be trading desks, programmatic, audits and procurement reviews. All really important but not the be-all and end-all. My week was saved by what I thought would be least likely to – a British industry awards dinner and a table full of people at Business in the Community, who all loved what they were doing and did it for that love.
We have a collective schizophrenia. Virtually every chief executive and chief marketing officer wants a new world: a mobile, social, brand love-in that is also outcome-based and world-famous – but if that can't be measured and everyone is not assured upfront that it will work, then let's just do what we did last year but cheaper, and with two brass knobs on.
Suspicions abound, we seem to have opted for passive-aggressive combat, claiming to collaborate but all secretly trying to define and dominate a new world order. There are simply not enough risk-takers in our space who do their job with conviction and want to work together for the joy of building something new versus a desire to annex a new business model.
Every CEO and CMO wants a new world: a mobile, social, brand love-in that is also outcome-based
I hadn't expected the BITC event to be anything other than the usual awards fun. Yes, David Walliams did embarrass men from Rochdale, with none in return asking how his voiceover for Pudsey is going. But the table I was on was an inspiration.
On one side was Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent and a man who knows how to travel and, on the other, Tim Lawler, the chief executive of SportsAid. We also had Virgin Galactic and Africa Aid on the table, against the backdrop of an industry doing its bit for society and ex-servicemen. It was a disparate group brought together by Jaguar Land Rover, but all with one thing in common – to help society and create new businesses that are run fearlessly and without having to reassure a thousand accountants before buying an idea.
Even a borderline socialist like me was moved – especially by the heroism of Captain David Henson, who put all this into context.

The tribes merge, thank goodness, giving the Top 12 things to talk about other than how much Corinne and Phillip hate each other. Dawn is finding herself very nervous (i.e. weepy) because this is the point in her original season where Cochran flipped, she didn't do anything about it, and her game was doomed as a result.
As soon as the merged tribe is formed (named Enil Edam by Malcolm, slyly slipping his mom's name -- backwards -- into the game), Corinne bolts directly to Malcolm to bitch about Phillip. Luckily, he's already formed his little Dude Alliance, and Corinne has formed a bond with Michael based on how she demeaningly reduces him to an object on her gay charm bracelet while he kind of laughs nervously as she does so. Malcolm is really itching to get into the driver's seat of this game, so forming a new alliance and flipping on Stealth R Us sounds pretty good to him.
After the return of the Gross Food Immunity Challenge is won (with great, surprised fanfare) by Cochran, it's time for the real strategy to begin. Malcolm and Corinne figure they have a solid 5 (with Eddie, Reynold, and Michael) and that Erik is persuadable. But at 6 people, they want to wait for the tribe to be at 11 members before they make their move. To get to that point, they think they can sell Sherri as an "easy" vote to the Favorites' alliance this week. Except Phillip wants to get rid of a big dog, like Reynold or Eddie. (He also wants to split the vote between those guys, to flush out any idols, which should have been all the opening Corinne needed to stage a 5-4-3 blindside -- without even having to involve, say, Erik -- and vote Phillip out, but she completely fails to recognize the opportunity.) Corinne tries to make her case for Sherri to the group and then tries to sell Dawn on joining the plan to oust Phillip next time.
Dawn (with history weighing on her mind) gets nervous about upsetting the applecart and tattles on Corinne to Cochran, who then takes it upon himself and Andrea to save the Favorites' bacon. So they tell Phillip, get Sherri on their side to vote out Corinne, and then send Andrea over to bat her eyes at Erik and tell him to vote for Corinne as well. Later, Malcolm wants Erik to vote for Sherri, and so Erik is the swing vote.
At Tribal, Sherri says flat-out that she doesn't see a scenario where a Fan can win, which sets my Ironic Foreshadowing alarms off at full volume. Reynold, massive preening dummy that he is, basically flat-out reveals that this week's vote will go according to plan but next week, they'll flip. Finally, the tribe votes, and although the first five votes are for Sherri, the next seven go to Corinne, who had a decent plan, was too blind to see an even better one, and ended up getting felled by DAWN, of all people. Here's hoping she finds plenty of gay men to infantilize at Ponderosa.
Previously: the tribes swapped, leaving not nearly enough buffer zone between Phillip and Corinne for anyone's comfort. Chafing under the thumb of Stealth R Us, Corinne looked at Michael, decided he was a precious little ceramic figurine of homosexuality that she wanted for her very own, and began to make backup plans. This led to conflict when it came to last Tribal Council, where Julia was revealed to have been merely a ghost spotted by the fire one night, and when the tribe spoke her name in unison, she disappeared into thin air. Oh, and at some point after losing the immunity challenge, Phillip informed Cochran that he meant to do that.
Currently: the Bikal tribe returns from TC and takes turns congratulating Michael for not being the Fan they decided to cut loose. Corinne takes credit, in her interview, for making sure Michael stayed around. "I made sure I got The Gay," she says, because she's apparently reeeeeally committed to making this "I love dehumanized stereotypical traits way more than actual people" thing happen. Beyond this wildly offensive BS, I also have to deal with the fact that Corinne looks like Bethenny Frankel from Real Housewives, and I like Bethenny Frankel, but I am also having far too easy a time imagining Bethenny saying this same kind of "I love nothing better than A Gay" stuff, which is really crossing my wires and making me think bummer thoughts. ANYWAY, enough about Corinne and her one-woman, faceless Pride parade. Phillip pulls Corinne and Dawn aside ("like an ADD kid," Corinne interviews) to make sure that they know that losing that immunity challenge was completely on purpose, an ingenious plot he came up with once the challenge had begun. He also manages, in that very Phillip way of his, to make it sound like Corinne was an idiot for not realizing it while it was happening. He's so very much the worst of humanity. In her interview, Corinne's eyes are practically in her interviewer's lap, is how much she's bugging about this happy horseshit. After Phillip leaves them, Corinne and Dawn look at each other and are like, "...Why even is he?" Corinne interviews that this kind of instability, right here, is a prime reason why Phillip needs to go.
After the break, it's the next morning, and Bikal takes advantage of some Michael-free time to chat. Corinne opines that none of the Fans besides Michael have a brain, which she knows because ... how? Not saying she's not right, necessarily, but she's flying blind here. Even Phillip manages to say that they won't know until they talk to them firsthand. But Phillip says that once the merge happens, they all have to be "hyper-viligant" [sic] and avoid "one-off" conversations with the Fans, since they'll be looking to make deals. This speaks to Dawn's particular insecurity, as she interviews that it was right at this stage of the game in South Pacific that Cochran turned on their alliance. It doesn't seem like Dawn's obsessing on this because she fears Cochran will flip again, but rather that last time, she knew about it and didn't tell anyone, and it ended up spelling her doom. She's emotional to the point of weepy at the thought of things falling apart again. Dawn's done this a lot this season, the crying, and it's naturally going to rub people the wrong way. It can't help but come across as disingenuous to ruthlessly slash your way through the game and then make a big show of feeling so sad about it afterwards. But I do feel bad for Dawn. I think she's a crier and can't really help that, and I think she comes by her empathy honestly. Part of it, of course, is that she's dealing with both wanting to win and wanting to be liked at the same time, and at some point, the best Survivor players realize that that only happens if you don't beg for it. Anyway. Dawn. She's come too far and needs the money for her family (six kids!) too much to repeat her mistakes of the past. "Last time I let my game go to heck," she says. Oh man. If she really is "playing the mom" here, she's playing it to perfection.

Archived Story
World War III is already under wayPublished 8:30am Friday, September 21, 2012
Column: Don Sorensen, Guest Column
This column was first drafted before the current unrest in the Mideast, which has reinforced my beliefs.
Most people don't realize it, but World War III has been under way for several decades. Free societies around the world are under siege.
Make no mistake about it. It is the goal of the radical Muslims to destroy every vestige of freedom around the world and install a Muslim autocracy that governs with Sharia law. Europe is already making compromises to appease the Muslim populations in their countries. They did the same with Hitler, and we all know how well that worked out.
The radical Muslims have no intention of co-existing with other religions. Moderate Muslims, who make up the vast majority of Muslims, do not have the courage to stand up to the radical element within their religion. They know full well that they will become targets if they speak out and thus become complacent by their silence.
The radicalized Muslims are very patient and are thinking in terms of generations, not years. If they succeed, and they well may, the world as we know it will cease to exist. Women will lose the status they have in the free world. Don't believe me? Take a good look at women's statuses in Muslim countries.
There are countless radical Muslim cells now operating in the United States waiting their turn to terrorize us. Our overcrowded prisons are hotbeds for converting inmates to the Muslim faith and then radicalizing them.
The United States has been bending over backward trying to meet their requests and appease Muslims. There is a point where being politically correct becomes detrimental to the country's future. We are already past that point.
We are dealing with an enemy whose goals are very different from those of the common man in the Western world. The radicalized Muslim does not hesitate to martyr themselves and their children for what they see as the greater good. Their children are taught to hate Americans and Jews in school.
The next generation of radicals are now being schooled. They are not out to garner the riches of the world but to crush those they believe to be the infidels of the world. That's us, folks.
It is only a matter of time before radicals control Iraq and the rest of the Middle East. The same will happen in Afghanistan the second we leave. We cannot win in Afghanistan. Our attempt at nation building there has been a fool's folly. They have been only too happy to see us expend American blood and money on a lost cause. The hopes for democracy coming out of the Arab Spring uprisings have been dashed as hard-line autocrats are gaining power.
What can we do?
The first step is to secure our boarders. Considering how easy it is for a Mexican to walk across the border we would be naive to believe that radical Muslims are not doing the same. We must take a hard look at the foreign students, especially Muslims attending our colleges, and must take steps to ensure that they leave the country when their student visas expire. We must stop accepting refugees from Muslim countries. Convicted terrorists must not be incarcerated with the general prison populations.
We need to stop buying Middle East oil. A portion of the money we spend for oil ends up in terrorists' hands to kill our soldiers and fund Muslim schools, teaching hate, around the world and in the USA.
We need to stop sending foreign aid to countries who support or allow anti-American radicals to operate.
We need to follow Australia's lead and establish a firm policy that our morals, laws and standards must be complied with. If Muslims can't live under our rules, they can go home. We need to stop catering to their requests. No taxpayer funds should be spent to accommodate them that would not also be spent on other religions. If they need special accommodations at airports and other public buildings they should pay for the improvements themselves.
This may sound harsh, but we are in a war of survival. Until moderate Muslims of the world (the vast majority) rise up against the extremists in their midst all must be treated with vigilance.
The radical Muslim believes America is weak, a soft paper tiger, that will, one step at a time, give them everything they want. A conventional war is not possible with the radical Muslims as they have no army. They function as independent terrorist cells living among civilian populations. They are among civilian populations all around the earth.
We must maintain a strong military and not apologize for taking actions necessary to protect this country's citizens, our allies and interests around the world.
Strength and a firm resolve is the only thing that will keep us safe. This may be a war that cannot won, but it is war we can and are losing.
America and the Western world have an aging population. It is the belief of the radical Muslims that they will never have to fight a direct war with America, instead they will quietly go about terrorizing us, emigrating and raising large families and in time will simply out-number us. This is already happening in many areas in Europe.
As Americans it is our responsibility to prevent a second Jewish holocaust. Which is what Iran is preparing for. I despise war, but Iran must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons
It is time to stop apologizing for being American, and time to elect leaders who will stand up for freedom. Currently we have a Congress that bends over backward to meet Muslim religious demands and in Obama we have a president who at best is a Muslim sympathizer and at worst a closet Muslim.

Micah M. White
|Micah M. White
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
|Alma mater
|Swarthmore College and European Graduate School
|Founder, Boutique Activist Consultancy
|Known for
|initiating Occupy Wall Street protests, popularizing the term "clicktivism,"
Micah M. White is a former editor at Adbusters magazine.[1] He is credited with being the co-creator, and the only American creator, of the original idea for the Occupy Wall Street protests.[2][3] He lives in Nehalem, Oregon[4] and he is the founder of Boutique Activist Consultancy.[5]
White "was born to a Caucasian mother and an African-American father".[3] In middle school, he reportedly refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.[3] He attended Grand Blanc Community High School in Grand Blanc, Michigan. There he started a controversial student atheists club. As part of his experience he published an Op-Ed piece "Atheists Under Siege" in the July 21, 1999 issue of the New York Times. He was also interviewed on Politically Incorrect and received the 1999 Ruth Jokinen Memorial Student Activist Award from the Freedom From Religion Foundation.[6] He earned a B.A. at Swarthmore[3] and a Ph.D. at the European Graduate School.[4]
In December 2011, the San Francisco Chronicle called Micah White one of the "most fascinating people in the Bay Area 2011"[7]
Political views[edit]
White is in favor of a transaction tax on international financial speculation, the reinstatement of the Glass–Steagall Act and revocation of corporate personhood.[8] He is against advertisement and consumerism.[9] He is known for popularizing the term "clicktivism", which denotes a form of internet-based activism which includes signing online petitions that he argues is damaging to the possibility of political change.[10]

While there's no doubting the importance of local print media, social media is making its way into a position of more influence locally and brands need to be ready to adapt as competition for consumer time intensifies. The data shows that producing content which can be tailored for local audiences has a better chance of building trust in a brand.
I've recently noticed two key trends in communications. Firstly, more agencies seem to be either hiring a specific person responsible for business development or relying more heavily on 'pitch' teams, and secondly, I've seen more companies asking for reassurance in new business meetings, that the team that they see is the one they will be working with...
HD Personality is built to help businesses and organisations deliver customer expectations; what should lead to customer experience and ultimately customer retention... almost all the resources allocated to re-branding exercises, crisis management and PR can be saved; if brands practiced honesty and directness in their communications.
Everything's a marketing opportunity. Our existence is only a chance to prove how brilliant we are, and to congratulate our mates for their brilliance too... The fact is, the more we PR our lives online, the more isolated we become. With every 'Ibiza. Done' status update we move further and further away from meaningful relationships with our families, friends and lovers.
Communications is a broad church these days, but media relations will always be part of the mix. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be a battle and, quite frankly, it shouldn't be. Both Peston and Cohen suggest that they see PRs as guard dogs, preventing them access to spokespeople and stories. In my opinion, if we are doing that it's bad media relations.
It's a mixed bag of beautiful and not so beautiful people, deals, schmoozing, ego inflating, celebrity spotting and awards, with one of the chicest backdrops in the world. A global telecoms client of mine recently laughed as he found the fact there was a multi million pound festival built around people congratulating themselves for being brilliant, was quite absurd!
Sky-rocketing tuition fees and their relative value in a difficult job market remains the subject of heated debate for students both within the UK and outside of it. Locally and abroad, graduates are faced with the decision to continue their post-graduate education to build up a more attractive CV...
Once you've made it through the development phase and hired your team - you certainly feel you're ready to get out there and sell your product or service. But how exactly do you get the word out? I've found that many entrepreneurs struggle with this. It's important to remember that marketing and PR is not an afterthought to your business plan. Marketing and good PR is essential for the success of any business. It may not matter how great the product or service you are offering is if nobody knows about it.
The FT article on Monday by Emma Jacobs 'Publicity is free with no PRs' about the value or otherwise that PR professionals bring to their clients, was an entertaining read. But whether it painted an accurate picture of the usefulness of PR and communications, or even reflected a widely held opinion, is a different matter.
The PR agency model is dying - but a shiny new type of PR is emerging; one that will flex to meet the demands of the digital age. More and more PR professionals are going solo, not just here but globally, and over the next ten years it's going to be these independent consultants, rather than the big agencies, who will - like me - be standing behind the most powerful people in the world.
If you wish to become a marketer, you will need two things: qualifications and experience. Marketing is not something that you can learn from textbooks. You need to develop logical thinking, practical skills, networking skills, negotiating skills and creative thinking, all of which comes with experience...
I first saw David Bowie in Torquay in 1972, in a venue for 500 people with tickets costing £1.50. It changed my life. Forty years later I'm still struck by his youthful talent, innovation and longevity. He created a revolutionary sound and style building on the best offerings of the 1960s London artistic scene.
Future governments will see this for what it is - a joke of an act, aimed at cleaning up political sleaze by deflecting the problem onto anyone but the house itself. We have an ignorantly narrow definition of lobbying, a register that will not cover 80% of lobbyists, and a scope so bizarrely narrow it could only be supported by those who haven't the faintest clue about lobbying.

Mendenhall River Community School fifth grade teacher Adam Berkey, who confessed to marijuana use last month, says he and his wife have felt ostracized in the community, despite local support for his decision to "come out of the closet."
Several parents described him as a "pillar" in the community for their children, but Berkey is unsure of his longevity as a teacher, he told the Empire this week. Berkey said he now hopes to make a bigger difference for children through a future position on the Juneau Board of Education.
Juneau police are investigating a man for allegedly following young girls around a local store and secretly videotaping them.
An employee of the store reported the incident to police Sunday afternoon, saying he was actively observing the man "secretly videotaping" children. Police are not releasing the name of the store because of the ongoing investigation.
Responding officers contacted the suspect at the scene and identified him. His name is not being released to the public because he was not arrested; police only described him by his age (56).
SITKA — Just a few decades ago, researchers were repurposing kitchen timers to test how deep marine mammals can dive.
Now they can track the same animals in real time. They can get data about their body temperatures and figure out how and when they die. They can put a tiny camera on the animal or follow groups of them with robots from the air or sea.
Like every other kind of gizmo and gadget, the tools used to study marine mammals have changed in big ways.

Capital City Fire/Rescue helped free a child whose finger got stuck in a car seat Saturday afternoon.
The child had stuck his or her finger in a hole in the car seat and was unable to get it out. CCFR had to cut away a small portion of the car seat to get the child's finger unstuck.
CCFR spokesman Tom Matthews said the child was freed without injury.
The parents were advised to take to the car seat to the Juneau Police Department to see if it could still be used. The brand and model of the car seat was not immediately available.

Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine
This groundbreaking work explains and demystifies Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for western readers. Organized in three sections, BETWEEN HEAVEN ... Show synopsis This groundbreaking work explains and demystifies Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for western readers. Organized in three sections, BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH provides the theory and origins of TCM, its unique psychology and healing models, and finally, treatments and practices, such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and diet. The lucid writing and the simple explanations of such esoteric Chinese concepts as the Five Elements and Meridian Theory will delight readers seeking an introduction to TCM. As healing methods differ in Eastern and Western countries, so do ideas about what "healing" entails. BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH explains that in TCM, healing is the process of bringing the body into balance and treating the whole person, in mind, body, and spirit. This differs from Western medicine, which focuses on symptom suppression and the attempt to aggressively eliminate pathologies. The authors are both experienced acupuncturists and herbalists, so their knowledge of the subject is exhaustive. Still, they acknowledge that Western techniques are valid and credible and explain how to integrate both healing methods into the reader's daily life. BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH is an excellent introduction and reference book for curious laypersons and experienced students.

Banana plant breaks Northampton greenhouse roofThe Associated Press
A banana plant at Smith College was apparently so determined to keep growing that it broke through a pane of glass on a greenhouse roof.
Rob Nicholson says he's seen plants do lots of amazing things in his 21 years as manager of the Northampton college's Botanic Garden, so he wasn't entirely surprised. But he did say it was annoying that the pane on the 30-foot high roof needs to be replaced.
Nicholson tells The Daily Hampshire Gazette ( http://bit.ly/16D56qg) he learned about the situation Monday when he arrived at the plant house. A staff member who worked on the weekend left a note on his door alerting him to the problem.
Nicholson says he has seen photographs dating to 1904 that show same banana plant in nearly the same location.
Information from: Daily Hampshire Gazette (Northampton, Mass.), http://www.gazettenet.com

FOXCATCHER Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted 13 days ago
[This is a re-post of my Foxcatcher review from the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film opens today in limited release.]
For those who aspire to be champions, it's a horrible thing to know you'll never be the best. Successful people will engender only envy and further self-loathing. You will only see your weakness. You will live in shadows. Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher is an incredibly sad and poignant portrait of two men desperate for greatness they'll never achieve, and destroyed by the failings they'll always feel. They can lie about confidence, achievements, and relationships, but there's no escape. Led by astounding performances from Channing Tatum, Steve Carell, and Mark Ruffalo, Miller has created a quiet, brooding picture of doubt, depression, and destruction.
