		<description><![CDATA[This article provides examples of an engineering concept regarding what makes systems (engineered or natural) either robust or failure prone. The latter are characterized by lack of redundancy, interconnectedness, efficiency, and sensitivity to stress. Together, these characteristics amplify the effects of exponentially increasing strain prior to system collapse. Cascading effects follow from the lack of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Economist, a respectable and generally conservative news and analysis source, provides a well-reasoned argument for legalizing drugs. Even (especially) if you fear that legalization would lead to greater use, you may find some interesting insights in this article.

The Solyndra system claims one-half the installation cost of solar panels. This is significant since half the cost of a residential solar panel system is for [...]]]></description>

There are three TV spots out at this time. You can watch Pickens&#8217; whiteboard presentation on his web site. I admit it. His direct speech and logic are appealing. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently uncloaked startup, Sunrgi, announced a new photovoltaic design that blends chipmaking approaches, nanotech heat-dissipation fluid, optics, and manufacturing expertise to produce energy at costs matching those of fossil fuels. Once the follow-on technology is completed, for converting the dissipated heat to electricity, this new design will out-compete fossil fuels. (The carbon-burning cartels are probably [...]]]></description>

I found MacFUSE and NTFS-3G for Mac OS, available free online, which brought my NTFS drive to full read-write functionality. The upgrade to Leopard returned [...]]]></description>

Dave Snowden (of Cognitive Edge) is a cognitive scientist who argues that KM efforts to systematically convert tacit to explicit knowledge have failed. Snowden does not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any new enterprise initiative is highly vulnerable during its earliest stages. Established leaders tend to suspect interloping and potential loss of resources or relative clout. Workers at all levels -- weary of an endless parade of shallow management campaigns and reorganizations -- tend to view any new fanfare as a warning to brace for further disturbance and friction. An initiative such as KM, to have a chance of success, requires the devoted attention of at least one corporate-level implementer. In our case, I am that person. ]]></description>
