Get ready for news, opinion, and interviews from your #1 source for mixed martial arts!
The Internet can be a funny little world sometimes. For example, on Tuesday afternoon, a section of the Wikipedia entry for UFC featherweight Junior Assuncao offered an odd look at history.
It would have been perfectly natural for Brock Lesnar to sit in the Honda Center in Anaheim, watching Junior dos Santos knock out Cain Velasquez to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship, and think, "It should have been me."
What we learned from Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz and Costa Philippou.
From most hated to beloved, Tito Ortiz is closing out his UFC career in style.
After various setbacks, four fighters face off Saturday night.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira doesn't believe Frank Mir is better than him. He'll get to prove it Saturday night.
What's the takeaway from Saturday's action?
See the humble TUF roots of Krzysztof Soszynski, Costa Philippou, and Rich Attonito.
New Jersey native and longtime UFC vet Kurt Pellegrino met season 4 lightweight tournament runner up Patricky Pitbull at Bellator 59. After the loss an emtional Pellegrino announced his retirement. Check out the full fight.

Investor's Average Cost: $14.53 per share
Stock-Market Value: $913 million ($16.10 per share)
What's Happening: Starboard Valuenominated three candidates to the board for the 2013 annual meeting.
Key Numbers and Dates:
$159 million: the increase in the company's annual revenue since 2008 (presently at $559 million).
$4 million: the increase in the company's Ebitda since 2008 (presently at $69 million).
$27 million: the increase in the company's annual sales, general, and administrative expenses since 2008 (presently at $91 million).
April 26, 2013: expected date of the annual meeting.
Behind the Scenes: Starboard has had activist success in helping companies cut costs, particularly costs related to noncore businesses. In this case, Calgon's core business of activating and reactivating carbon for municipalities is profitable, while its two noncore businesses—an equipment and consumer business and a carbon-cloth business—make up only 10% of the company's revenue. Most of the cost-cutting to be done here will involve the company's core business, and the new CEO has already laid out a plan for cost reductions. Starboard is likely looking for board representation so that it can get more information on exactly how much cash flow the two small businesses eat up each year, and assist in cutting SG&A costs. Starboard acquired most of its position in Calgon just recently, and there was a Jan. 15 deadline for director nominations. So, this may end up being an amicable situation, as Starboard was forced to make these nominations before being able to fully explore discussions with the company.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to a flashlight constructed with several redundant elements for long-term reliability and more particularly to a hand-held flashlight with a backup system which may be selectively activated when the primary electrical system has failed.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Flashlights, and especially hand-held flashlights are used in many instances as primary sources of light in locations which are situated too far for the use of light sources connected to an electric power distribution network, or in which locations the distribution network has failed. Frequently these flashlights, and especially the flashlights designated for emergency use only, are stored away for long time periods between activations. However the flashlights presently available are subject to failure even if they are not used frequently. Conventional flashlights usually have a single electrical system comprising one or more batteries which provide the power for the flashlight, a light bulb which generates the actual light beam, a switch for the selective actuation o the bulb, and interconnecting elements which provide the electrical path between these elements. All these elements are disposed in a common housing and the failure of any one of these elements results in the malfunction of the flashlight. For example, common batteries have a very limitted shelf life. After a relatively short time period has elapsed, these batteries are discharged even if they are not used. Furthermore the common batteries can produce various corrosive fumes which can degrade and ultimately cause the failure of the housing, the switch or the flashlight interconnecting elements. The switch is a mechanical device which is also prone to failure. Frequent activation of the flashlight causes a premature failure due to abnormal wear and tear of the contacts as well as metal fatigue of its components. If the switch is used infrequently, chemical action (due for example to fumes from the batteries as explained above)could cause the formation of non-conductive layers on the switch contacts. The useful life of light bulbs is affected by electrical shock caused an inrush current generated by the activation of the switch. The light bulbs are also affected by various mechanical shocks which are frequent when the flashlight is used in a rough environment. For example a flashlight bulbs frequently damaged when the flashlight is dropped. Finally the flashlight interconnecting elements are susceptible to long term chemical degradation as well as mechanical wear and tear.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,333,129 a hand-held flashlight is disclosed in which two identical batteries disposed end-to-end are physically and electrically separated by a separator plate. Switching means are provided to couple the batteries in a common electrical circuit.
In U.S. Pat. No. 1,974,294 a device is disclosed comprising two separate flashlights connected by a hinge which allows the flashlights to be oriented either side-by-side to produce two parallel light beams or end-to-end to produce two beams directed in opposite directions.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,299,262 a flashlight is disclosed which can be coupled to an external battery pack to provide a high intensity light beam if desired.
None of these references disclose a structure with the advantages described below.
An objective of the present invention is provide a flashlight with a backup system provided to insure the operation thereof in emergency conditions.
Another objective is to provide a flashlight which can be constructed economically, by the use of relatively inexpensive materials, and which in the long run is relatively inexpensive to operate.
A further objective is to provide a flashlight with a long shelf life to insure that it is operational even if used infrequently. Other objectives and advantages of the invention shall become apparent from the following description of the invention. Briefly a flashlight constructed in accordance with this invention comprises a housing in which two different electrical systems are provided for generating light beams. Both the first and the second system include a power source such as one or more batteries, a light bulb and a switch for selectively activating the respective system. Preferably the first or primary system has relatively inexpensive components which are expected to be replaced often, especially if the flashlight is used frequently. The second, or backup system comprises high performance components with relatively long shelf life, in the order of ten years or more. Preferably the two systems are independent and completely separated so that the failure of one system has no effect on the performance of the other system.
FIG. 1 shows an isometric view of a flashlight constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the flashlight of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows an exploded view of the flashlight of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a top view of a light bulb assembly for the flashlight of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 shows a side view of the light bulb of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 shows a front view of the light bulb of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 7 is a somewhat schematic view of the two independent electrical systems disposed within the flashlight of FIG. 1.
A somewhat preferred embodiment shall now be described in conjunction with the drawings. The drawings illustrate a hand-held flashlight 8 with a housing 12 having two mating sections 12 and 14. Section 12 may be termed the head of the flashlight while the second section 14 may be termed its body. The flashlight body is generally elongated and is formed of a first longitudinal surface 16 which has an approximately semicircular cross-section and a relatively flat longitudinal section 18. A pushbutton 20 is provided toward a front end of surface 16. As shall be described in more detail below, the pushbutton 20 may be used to activate the primary electrical system of the flashlight 10. At least a portion of cylindrical surface is serrated as at 22 to provide a non-slip surface. Alternatively a serrated or knurled element made of a different colored material may be imbedded in surface 16. The whole body 12 is ergonomically shaped so that an operator can hold the flashlight comfortably with the thumb resting near pushbutton 20 for its activation. The head and body each include a cavity which forms a common enclosure when the two sections are joined.
The flashlight head 12 is generally square or rectangular and has larger overall cross-sectional dimensions than the body 14 for holding the secondary electrical system. The head 12 has a front lens 24 made of a transparent material to allow light to pass therethrough. The flashlight head also has a sidewall 26 corresponding to body surface 18, on which sidewall there is provided a slide switch 28. As described in more detail below, the slide switch 28 activates the secondary electrical system of the flashlight 10. Adjacent to the slide switch and slightly forward to it there is a relatively small indicating window or other means 30 provided to show the status of the secondary electrical system.
Flashlight housing 10 is preferably made of a highimpact plastic material which is relatively immune to normal chemical degradation. The body 14 is provided with an enlarged portion 32 which provides a gradual change between head 12 and the remaining portion of body 14. Portion 32 is terminated with a cylindrical neck 34 with a plurality of slanted exterior grooves 36. The head is similarly provided with lips 38. The lips 38 are disposed on an inner wall of the head 12 and are arranged for engagement with grooves 36. Thus grooves 36 and lips 38 provide a means of interlocking the head and body sections of the housing 10. For closing the housing the two sections are brought into an axial alignment with one lip 38 being adjacent to an openning 40 of groove 36. The two sections are then moved toward each other and the head is twisted clockwise until lip 38 comes to rest against wall 42. Neck 34 is provided with a ring shaped gasket 44 which is used to seal the interior of the flashlight housing. The gasket is made of a resilient material such as a synthetic rubber which urges the two housing sections axially away from each other. Thus when the two housing sections are interlocked as described above, the housing is sealed in a water- and air-tight manner.
As shown in FIG. 2, the body 14 houses two or more batteries 46. One of the batteries is in contact with a spring 48 secured to a rear wall 50 of the body 14. A conductive strip 52 extends from spring 48 to a switching mechanism 54 secured bellow flat surface 18. The switching mechanism is activated by pushbutton 20 as described below.
Refering now to FIGS. 3-6, within head 12 there is provided a light bulb assembly 56 and a reflector 58. The reflector 58 is permanently secured to the inner walls of the head 12 and has surface 60 coated with a reflective material. Reflector 58 is also provided with two cylindrical holes 62 and 64. Surface 60 is shaped to capture and direct light from a light bulb extending from hole 62 in a primary light beam through transparent lens 24. Lens 24 may be provided with a transparent cylindrical wall section 66 for concentrating the primary light beam. The inner wall of hole 64 is cylindrical and it terminates in a necked down section 68 for generating a backup light beam described below. A projection 70 extends rearwardly toward the housing body 14 and it cooperates with the inner walls 72 of the head 12 to engage light bulb assembly 56 in a friction fit. Thus the assembly 56 may be removed from the head if desired.
Assembly is provided with two cylindrical depressions 74 and 76 for holding a primary and a backup light bulb 78 and 80 respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, assembly 56 also includes an open chamber 82 defined by two upright walls 84, 86, assembly sidewalls 88, 90 and a bottom wall 92. This chamber 82 is provided for holding a secondary or backup battery 94.
Mounted on upright wall 84 there is a conductive strip 96 with a terminal surface 98. This strip extends along the inner surface of wall 84 along the bottom wall 92 and up on wall 86 until it reaches depression 74 to provide a first central connection for bulb 78. Another strip 99 can be seen partially in FIG. 5 and also extends within the assembly to depression 74 to form a second electrical connection for bulb 78. When flashlight is assembled, surface 98 comes into electrical contact with one of the batteries 46 and strip 99 is connected by electrical connection means to switching means 54.
Within chamber 82 there are provided two clips 100, 102 which hold battery 94 by its terminals. A strip 104 extends from clip 100 to a position adjacent to the inner end of depression 76, as shown in FIG. 5. A small spring 106 is secured to strip 104 to provide a first or central connection for the secondary bulb 80. A second strip 108 extends from clip 102 to a first terminal of a reed switch 110 mounted on the outside of assembly 56. A second terminal of the reed switch is connected to a conductive strip 112 which leads to and forms a second electrical connection for the secondary bulb 80.
When assembly 56 is inserted into head 12, bulb 78 is disposed within 62 so that its output is reflected outwardly through lens 24. Similarly bulb 80 extends into hole 64 so that light generated by this bulb is reflected by wall 64. A light guide 116 in the form of a narrow strip of transluscent material extends from the necked down portion 68 to the sidewall 28 of head 12. The guide captures a very small portion of the light generated by bulb 80 and transmits it outwardly to provide an indication that the secondary bulb 80 has been activated.
Switch 28 mounted on head 12 preferably includes a magnet 116 positioned so that as the switch 28 is between a first and a second position, the magnet selectively opens and closes the reed switch 110 on assembly 56.
The operation of the flashlight shall now be described in conjunction with FIG. 7 which is a somewhat stylized diagram of the various electrical components of the invention. As can be seen in FIG. 7 the flashlight is provided with two completely independent electrical systems. The first or primary system consists of batteries 46, switching means 54, light bulb 78 and interconnection elements including strips 52, 99, and 96, as well as spring 48. The batteries may be relatively inexpensive type C zinc-carbon or alkaline batteries.
Similarly bulb 78 may be relatively inexpensive bulb with a short useful life. Switching means 54 may be a mechanical push-on, push-off switch activated by pushbutton 20. This system is the primary system which is normally used to generate a light beam from bulb 78 by the selective activation of pushbutton 20.
The secondary or backup system consists of battery 94, reed switch 110 activated by magnet 116 operated by slide switch 28, bulb 80 and interconnecting strips 104 and 108. Battery 94 is preferably a battery of the type which has a very long shelf life, such as a lithium battery. The switching means provided for the system is also a high performance component which is not affected by chemical fumes or other environmental factors and therefore can be expected to operate for ten years or more even if it is used relatively infrequently. Finally bulb 80 is also preferably a high performance, long life component with a useful life of thousands of hours. This second system is activated for relatively short time periods, and only when the primary system has failed. Indicator 30 is provided to remind the user that the backup, rather then the primary system, is in operation, and that the primary system needs servicing.
Advantageously, as it can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 all the components of the backup system are housed in the head section of the flashlight so that the flashlight can be used even if the body section 14 is damaged or lost, or when it is desired to change the batteries of the primary system. Another important advantage of the invention is that, as it can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, as assembly 56 is removed from or inserted into the head 12, reed switch passes and is closed by magnet 116 temporarily, activating lightbulb 80. This action provides a fast and easy means of checking the secondary or backup system.
Obviously numerous modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its scope as defined in the appended claims.

Tactical Intervention stealths into open beta form
If you haven't heard of Tactical Intervention yet, you may have heard of the developer's other game that he co-developed: Counter-Strike. Ring any bells? Yeah, thought so. Well, Tactical Intervention has just smashed into open beta.
This means you can get into the game and start playing now, with the client found in the Steam store weighing in at 4.1GB. Tactical Intervention will be fully released on September 12, best of all, as a free-to-play title. Grabbing TI now will be beneficial in the way that you won't have to download the entire client once it hits the full version.
Publisher 1337 Games has also revealed that two new maps will appear in the final version of the game, the first "Monaco" and the second "Airport."
We check out the Omni Virtuix at PAX Prime 2013
PAX PRIME 2013 - We got our first chance to take a look at the Omni Virtuix, a new virtual reality item designed to be used in conjunction with the Oculus Rift VR headset. Combining the two really takes you into the game and into another world. There are still a few bugs to be worked out, but the premise of the device is pretty awesome.
The system requires special shoes, or shoe attachments, a kinect sensor, sensors, and the Virtuix itself. Right now, your motion is just tracked as controller inputs, so you can theoretically map your walking to any key you want and type by walking. At $499, the system could be combined with the Oculus Rift and the entire VR set would set you back less than $1000. Could this get gamers into better shape?

EA stuffs up the launch of SimCity for Mac, deja vu anyone?
We were all over EA's issues with the launch of the SimCity reboot, which was a huge issue for the publisher a few months ago, even pushing out its CEO John Riccitiello of the company over the borked launch.
The publisher has just launched SimCity on the Mac, but the EA forums have become flooded with complaints from gamers saying SimCity for Mac is unplayable. The biggest issue seems to be that SimCity can't launch into full-screen mode, with other users complaining that they can't even install the game on their MacBooks.
SimCity developer, Maxis, has had a spokesperson step forward to say that "there are a small number of players who have encountered issues with SimCity for Mac" and that they are working on fixing these issues up.
MSI shows off awesome racing chair at PAX Prime
PAX PRIME 2013 - The computer hardware manufacturer MSI had an extremely cool racing chair at its PAX booth.

While I doubt MSI is planning to go into mass production, this chair is quite awesome and shows what you could build with some money and time. If someone does go and make something like this, please send pictures or video to us, preferably with instructions on how you made it.

Sony shows off Gran Turismo 6 at PAX Prime 2013
PAX PRIME 2013 - Sony brought back its Gran Turismo racing pods for the public at PAX Prime 2013. These cool racing pods feature a racing wheel, pedals, seat, and what appears to be a 42-inch TV as the display. The racing pod would be awesome to have at home for racing, though I'd hate to know the cost of one. Sony was a bit finicky about recording, so they required me to record the player in the foreground.
The game doesn't appear to be much different than what we saw at E3, though I'd imagine numerous under-the-hood tweaks have been made, boosting performance and balancing the gameplay. It looks like it will be a great racing game to launch the PlayStation 4 with.

Tex Murphy returns thanks to Kickstarter, new game arrives in 2014
One of the first games that really pushed me to upgrade back in the day was Under a Killing Moon. I didn't have a CD ROM drive at the time, and the game arrived on multiple CDs, something that cost close to AU$1000 back in the day.
If you remember back that far, Under a Killing Moon featured Tex Murphy, who is making a comeback thanks to Kickstarter. The game will be called Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure will hit PC and Mac in early 2014, from publisher Atlus. The title received around $600,000 in funding a year ago when it was known as Project Fedora.
Developer Big Finish Games is now stepping in with a big name publisher in order to help it "more fully" realize its vision for the game. I can't wait to see the game in action, FMV and all.
The official trailer for Grand Theft Auto V is here!
Here it is! The official trailer to Rockstar's sure-fire, record-breaking, open-world game, Grand Theft Auto V. The trailer is expansive, topping all of the previous footage and trailers we've seen yet. Check it out:
September 17, folks, September 17! I don't have a current generation console, so I won't be playing this because Rockstar isn't supporting the platform they started out on: PC. Not even next-gen consoles, which is disappointing. Hopefully Rockstar are just keeping the next-gen version behind closed doors for now.

GTA V soundtrack contains '20 movies worth of score'
Grand Theft Auto V is oh-so-close to being released, and during an exclusive look at the open-world game's soundtrack by Rolling Stone, Ivan Pavlovich, soundtrack supervisor, said that the soundtrack in GTA V is the biggest its done, with around "20 movies worth of score."
Pavlovich added: "We approached the radio stations as the musical soundscape [you experience] as you fly into L.A. One of the things we've never done in a GTA game before is a pop station; exploring that made so much sense in the context of L.A." GTA V's soundtrack is somewhat unique, too, as it's the first in the series to have its own score created by Rockstar.
Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition arrives in October, priced at $60
If you're a Borderlands 2 fan, and let's face it, most of us are, then you'll be pleased to hear that Gearbox Software is releasing a Game of the Year package deal for the first-person shooter RPG.
It will be priced at $60 and arrives in October, with every single bit and byte of Borderlands 2 included, including the Borderlands 2 Season Pass and the Premiere Club. The full list, is below:
- Borderlands 2 Main Game;
- Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty;
- Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage;
- Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt;
- Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep;
- Creature Slaughter Dome;
- Premiere Club Content:Gaige, the Mechromancer Character Class; Gearbox Gun Pack; Golden Key; Vault Hunter's Relic;
- Krieg, the Psycho Character Class;
- Collector's Edition Heads and Skins;
- Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 1.
However, there are two more DLC packs coming this fall, the Headhunter Pack and Digistruct Peak Challenge, which are both not part of the GOTY Edition. This is disappointing, you'd think Gearbox would go the whole hog and give you everything. The Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition drops on October 8 in the US for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 and on October 11 in other regions.
Saints Row IV sells over one million copies in its first week
Saints Row IV has been out for just one week, and it has already sold over one million copies. Its publisher, Deep Silver, announced the news, taking some time within the announcement to also unveil its working on new DLC for the game.
The Presidential Pack, which includes face masks of US presidents Washington, Lincoln, Obama and George W. Bush, was exclusive to GameStop pre-orders, but can now be purchased for $2.99 on all platforms. The Grass Roots Pack, which is described as a "culturally-sensitive pack inspired by America's more remote citizenry" includes the Plunger Launcher weapon, two new outfits, and a "fancy truck, complete with a pink flamingo." This is available now on the PS3 and Steam for $2.99, and will reach the Xbox 360 sometime today.
Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Volition and Deep Silver's parent company Koch Media said: "We are incredibly happy of the reception for Saints Row 4 as a critical and now a commercial success. The development team at Volition is second-to-none as a driving creative force in the entertainment industry and we are very proud to have them as part of the Deep Silver family."

GUELPH — Justin Nichols isn't ready to change his stripes just yet.
The Guelph Storm goalie posted his first shutout of the season wearing Hamilton Tiger-Cats black and gold from head to toe in his club's 6-0 win against the Kitchener Rangers.
Hours after the Sunday matinee win — by a touchdown — the netminder sat in front of a TV cheering against the Tabbies in the Grey Cup.
"I'm not a big Tiger-Cats fan," said Nichols, who hails from St. Catharines. "I like the Argos."
But the Steeltown scrubs served him well for three periods. The Storm donned the football jerseys for the game in honour of the Tiger-Cats, who played their home tilts in the Royal City this past season while their home stadium is being renovated.
The special sweaters will be auctioned off next week with the proceeds benefitting the Guelph Giants special needs hockey club.
"I thought it was pretty cool wearing them for a game," said Nichols. "They played here this year and are in the Grey Cup."
Guelph is also aiming for a title match later this season. Sunday's win puts the team in a tie with the Erie Otters for most points in the league (41). Kitchener drops its third consecutive road game and sits ninth in the western conference at 8-14-0-1.
The Rangers came out with purpose but were cooled by sizzling defenceman Zac Leslie, who picked up two goals and two assists in the thrashing. The blueliner has eight goals on the year, but has scored six of them in the past two contests.
Brody Milne, Hunter Garlent, Scott Kosmachuk and Brock McGinn added singles to send their supporters home with some chicken wings for the Grey Cup game. Crowds at the Sleeman Centre are treated to five free wings by a local eatery every time the Storm pots five goals or more.
Rangers' goalie Jordan DeKort (3-11) made 35 saves in the loss.
Oh, Kitchener had its chances. The club went 0-for-5 on the power play and hammered 34 shots at Nichols, who looked like an offensive lineman with the football jersey draped over his goalie gear.
The 156-pound puckstopper nabbed a shutout last year in the Sault but hadn't delivered a doughnut with his new club.
"It feels great," said Nichols, who kept the game puck. "There have been a few games where I have taken a zero into the third period and we gave up a goal late. I just tried to bear down today to make sure it didn't happen. We got a lot of goals too so I was a little more relaxed."
Kitchener coach Troy Smith liked his team's effort early on but said the squad strayed from its game plan as time wore on.
"I thought we got away from the attack and played too cute at times," said the Hamilton native. "I don't think we got enough pucks deep and enough quality shots.
"It's one thing to skate over the blue-line and throw the puck at the net. It's another to be low and get that puck to the net with bodies in front of it."
Captain Ben Fanelli missed his second consecutive game with a back injury while forwards Paxton Leroux (upper body), Jimmy Soper (hand), Matia Marcantuoni (shoulder) and defenceman Jared Gilbert (personal reasons) also sat out.
The Rangers will look to extend their home unbeaten streak to four games when they host the Owen Sound Attack Friday at 7:30 p.m.
And while Nichols remains behind his Boatmen, one day in Tiger-Cats colours didn't do any damage.
"It will be something cool to remember," he said.

One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch.
"Just the thing to quench my thirst," he thought. Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few paces back and tried to reach them but still failed.
Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, "They're probably sour anyway," and proceeded to walk away.
Moral: It's easy to despise what you cannot have.

I made this bedside organizer for my little girl to keep her books and little things in. I referenced the Tory for help with the pockets. I repurposed a canvas tote that I got at the hospital when Olivia was born. I ripped out the seams and used half the canvas for the organizer back and recycled the tote handles and used them for the organizer straps. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and my daughter really likes her "pockets".

Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2014)
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon is a journalist and the author of The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, a New York Times best seller published in March 2011 by HarperCollins. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a contributor to the Atlantic's Defense One site covering foreign policy and national security matters..[1]
Education and Early Career[edit]
Lemmon earned a BA in journalism summa cum laude from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. From 1997 to 2004, she worked in the ABC News Political Unit, where she served as producer in the first year of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." She graduated with an MBA from Harvard Business School (HBS), where she received the 2006 Dean's Award for her work on women's entrepreneurship. From 2006 to 2010 she worked in the executive office and in emerging markets at the global investment firm PIMCO. In 2010, she was featured on the cover of the HBS alumni magazine for her work on entrepreneurs in conflict and post-conflict zones. Lemmon is also a former Fulbright scholar and Robert Bosch Foundation fellow. She serves on the board of Mercy Corps and the International Center for Research on Women.[2]
Journalism and Media Appearances[edit]
Lemmon authored the first Tina Brown Newsweek cover on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's push to put women at the center of U.S. foreign policy. She has written extensively about entrepreneurs in Afghanistan (In the Heart of Afghanistan, Entrepreneurs Innovate for Peace) and in the Gulf states (Arab Women's Tech Advantage).
In October 2013 she broke the first media story about how the military could not pay death benefits to fallen soldiers killed in action during the government shutdown. The story attracted the attention of the Pentagon and the White House and Fisher House eventually stepped in to fill the funding gap until the shutdown ended.
In addition to her work on foreign policy and the fight to end child marriage,Lemmon has written a number of pieces on women and girls for the Atlantic, including, We Need to Tell Girls They Can Have It All (Even If They Can't) which is mentioned in Sheryl Sandberg's 2013 book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, as well as on the lessons she learned growing up in a community of single mothers. Lemmon regularly appears on broadcast media to discuss timely foreign policy issues. In February 2014, she discussed the situation in Syria on PBS's Tavis Smiley show, and in April she discussed the Afghan elections. She also appears regularly on MSNBC, CNN and National Public Radio.
In December 2011 she gave the opening talk at TEDxWomen in 2011, which focused on why investing in women can make the difference for the global economy and was named the TED Talk of the Day.
Lemmon has reported on Afghanistan since 2005, when she made her first trip to the country. Her book, The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, is about young entrepreneurs who supported their community under the Taliban. She has written extensively on the country's politics, business environment, midwives and its small but important class of young entrepreneurs for publications including the New York Times, the Financial Times, Christian Science Monitor, and Newsweek Daily Beast.
Entrepreneurship and the Global Economy: Publications[edit]
Lemmon writes regularly on entrepreneurship, especially in fragile states and developing economies. In 2008, she consulted for the World Bank and co-authored a 2008 report on Doing Business in Africa. She is also the author of Entrepreneurship in Postconflict Zones, a CFR working paper on arguing for comprehensive, long-term, collaborative approaches to help entrepreneurs in conflict and postconflict countries overcome these challenges in accessing capital, markets, networks, and business skills training. In December 2013, she published a policy innovation memorandum, titled Banking on Growth, making the case for why the United States should support the creation of an American development bank to invest in small- and medium-businesses in the world's toughest economies.
She has also reported on entrepreneurs in conflict and post-conflict regions for the Financial Times, New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Daily Beast, and Fast Company, as well as on Bloomberg, Politico, and the Huffington Post.
