Preview: Crony Capitalism. For years, high-ranking administration officials have spun through the revolving door between the White House and American big business.
But how have they influenced the regulation and reform of industries from which they came, and American democracy as a result? This weekend, in an encore broadcast, Moyers & Company explores the tight connection between Wall Street and the White House with David Stockman, former budget director for President Reagan. Now a businessman who says he was “taken to the woodshed” for telling the truth about the administration’s tax policies, Stockman speaks candidly with Bill Moyers about how money dominates politics, distorting free markets and endangering democracy. “As a result,” Stockman says, “we have neither capitalism nor democracy.

DolanWednesday, November 9, 2011 22:21 EDT Salon.com’s Glenn Greenwald, a former constitutional rights attorney, said the media’s reaction to the “Occupy Wall Street” movement highlighted how mainstream media journalists had become part of the elite class. “If you look at, say, a host on MSNBC, what you’re actually seeing is a very high ranking employee of what was General Electric and now is Comcast, who makes many millions of dollars a year and has a make-up artist sitting in front of their face for an hour applying all sorts of make-up and another person working on their hair.” He said that journalists had traditionally been people outside of power who acted as watchdogs to aid the powerless, but that mainstream journalists now identified with the powerful.

ASU's growing solar capacity shines on Tempe campus - East Valley Tribune: Tempe. Solar panel sculpture artwork has lined the lawn at Hayden Library for years, but it’s the new solar installations that are contributing to Arizona State University’s dedication to sustainability. Solar energy projects at ASU’s four campuses now produce 10 megawatts of energy, making it the largest solar installation of any American university, according to university officials. “Surpassing 10 megawatts of solar energy capacity is a tremendous accomplishment for ASU and our partners,” said ASU President Michael Crow in a press release. “Over the years we have made several major commitments to sustainability, such as establishing the first school devoted to sustainability, raising awareness of how to live sustainable lives and finding ways to harness natural resources, like our abundance of sunshine. By doing these things, we are making a brighter future for ourselves and the place in which we live.”
Mars' Vanished Water & Atmosphere. Geological observations suggest rivers and seas dotted the martian surface 3.5 billion years ago. The amount of water has been equated to a planet-wide ocean half-a-kilometer deep or more. For the planet to have stayed warm enough for liquid water, scientists assume that Mars had a greenhouse "blanket" of carbon dioxide atmosphere at least 1000 times thicker than what Earth has now.
"Y Dwarfs": NASA's 'Alien' Vision Finds Dark Orbs. "Finding brown dwarfs near our sun is like discovering there's a hidden house on your block that you didn't know about. " Michael Cushing, WISE team member at JPL Scientists using data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have discovered six "Y dwarfs"-- star-like bodies with temperatures as cool as the human body. Astronomers hunted these dark orbs for more than a decade without success. Remnants of an Atmosphere Discovered on a Distant Dwarf Planet. Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have discovered that the dwarf planet 2007 OR10—nicknamed Snow White—is an icy world, with about half its surface covered in water ice that once flowed from ancient, slush-spewing volcanoes.
The new findings also suggest that the red-tinged dwarf planet may be covered in a thin layer of methane, the remnants of an atmosphere that's slowly being lost into space. "You get to see this nice picture of what once was an active little world with water volcanoes and an atmosphere, and it's now just frozen, dead, with an atmosphere that's slowly slipping away," says Mike Brown, the Richard and Barbara Rosenberg Professor and professor of planetary astronomy, who is the lead author on a paper to be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters describing the findings. The paper is now in press. Soon, however, follow-up observations revealed that Snow White is actually one of the reddest objects in the solar system.
