Evidently corporate America needs to encourage a hacker culture to bounce back, and now local governments need hackers to help them solve their ever-increasing problems using their ever-decreasing budgets.

Modeled after Teach for America, Doctors Without Borders and Architecture for Humanity, Code for America (CfA) officially launched on January 5, 2011. The brightest minds on the Internet frontier commit to an 11-month fellowship working with cities to use technology to build solutions for urban problems that are effective, cost-effective and can be duplicated in other cities around the country in the future. Could this be the beginning of a Gov 2.0 boom? Out of 360 applications, 20 fellows were selected to work in four cities: Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Boulder had to drop out at a late date due to a severe budget issue. The problems vary from city to city, but are common to other cities throughout the country.

Yesterday morning at TED resembled an old-time faith-healing session--except instead of the Bible, the force was technology. First Dennis Hong presented the results of his robotics lab RoMeLa's collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind. They equipped a car with an accelerometer, GPS, two cameras, and laser rangefinders, and then created a set of novel nonvisual interfaces--vibrating gloves and seat mats, and a brand-new screen called the AirPix that looks like a tiny air hockey table. It uses puffs of air like pixels to create an "image" of obstacles in the road ahead. Mark Riccobono, blind since age 5, drove the specially outfitted Ford Escape around the track at Daytona one month ago, successfully dodging obstacles along the way. There are more than a few safety issues to be worked out before the legally blind can take the wheel but the interfaces their team developed have other possible applications as well.

Next, Eythor Bender took the stage. Finally, the big reveal. TED: Ideas worth spreading. Make Over Your Body With Yoga. Maybe you've been avoiding yoga because it looks too hard ("I'm not a human pretzel! "), or because it doesn't seem hard enough ("It's not a workout if my heart's not racing and I don't break a good sweat") or because it's difficult to believe that stretching can help you lose weight. But in fact, yoga is an extremely valuable slimming tool anyone can use (yes, even if you think you have zero flexibility): It helps you trim trouble zones, firm up all over, shrink your waistline and ease stress—all in the comfort of your own home.

It's so effective, fitness guru Jillian Michaels made yoga her workout of choice when she designed SELF's new Jump Start plan. Try these moves a few times a week (hold each move for 30 seconds, repeating the series five times total), and get ready to Om your way to a tighter, lighter and stronger body. works butt, back, hips, thighs, hamstringsLie faceup with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Hypnosis reaches the parts brain scans and neurosurgery cannot | Vaughan Bell | Science. Whenever AR sees a face, her thoughts are bathed in colour and each identity triggers its own rich hue that shines across her mind's eye. This experience is a type of synaesthesia which, for about one in every 100 people, automatically blends the senses. Some people taste words, others see sounds, but AR experiences colour with every face she sees. But on this occasion, perhaps for the first time in her life, a face is just a face.

No colours, no rich hues, no internal lights. If the experience is novel for AR, it is equally new to science because no one had suspected that synaesthesia could be reversed. The surprising reversal of AR's synaesthesia was reported in a recent study by psychologist Devine Terhune and his colleagues at Lund University in Sweden. When the colour of the onscreen face clashed with the colour that appeared in her mind's eye, she reacted slowly, as if trying to read traffic lights through tinted glasses.
