Addiction Fixes 41 mins – “This episode we take a sober look at the throbbing, aching, craving desire states that return people (again and again) to the object of their addiction … and the pills that just might set them free. Reporter Amy O’Leary was fed up with her ex-boyfriend’s hard-drinking, when she discovered a French doctor’s memoir titled The End of My Addiction. The fix that he proposed seemed too good to be true. But her phone call with the doctor left her, and us, even more intrigued. Could this malady – so often seen as moral and spiritual – really be beaten back with a pill? We talk to addiction researcher Dr. Anna Rose Childress, addiction psychologist Dr. Mark Willenbring, journalist Gabrielle Glaser, The National Institute of Health’s Dr. Nora Volkow, and scores of people dealing with substance abuse as we try to figure out whether we’re in the midst of a sea change in how we think about addiction.
Birth Control Pill 48 mins – “If a woman wants to obtain hormonal birth control like the pill or the patch, they have to first go to their doctor for a prescription. Now two western states – California and Oregon – have passed laws allowing pharmacists to prescribe birth control. Public health advocates see it as a way to expand access to the pill, and many doctors say it’s safe. But others argue these measures don’t go far enough. They want to see birth control pills offered over the counter and bills have been introduced in congress to do just that. Diane and her guests discuss why some say women don’t need doctors to access contraception.” (Four Guests.)

Broadband in Nebraska 29 mins – “As we noted in a preliminary story last week, the city of Lincoln has crafted a collection of conduits allowing greater competition for advanced telecommunications services. As we discuss this week in episode 182 of the Community Broadband Bits podcast, they have also crafted a smart policy to continue expanding the conduit system. To better understand their impressive approach, we interviewed David Young, Fiber Infrastructure and Right of Way Manager; Mike Lang, Economic Development Aide; and Steve Huggenberger, Assistant City Attorney. We think this policy is one that many communities will want to consider and copy. Lincoln is already seeing the benefits from the conduit system, with multiple providers using it and at least one investing in an FTTH network. Nebraska prohibits local governments and public power systems from building their own networks to connect local businesses and residents, but this approach allows the community to ensure they have a brighter, more fiber-lit future.” At the link right-click “…download this Mp3 file….” and select “Save Link As” from the pop-up menu.

Economic Evolution 71 mins – “THE 3rd WAY is a very big idea. In the information age, you simply cannot get ahead on wages alone. In addition to your labor, you must acquire capital (stock, real estate, technology, etc.). Now the middle class is in crisis. Median wages adjusted for inflation have decreased steadily for decades. The middle class is simply not sharing in the nation’s capital centered economic growth. Widespread current discontent is destined to lead to serious unrest unless we promptly put the correct solutions in place… Exponential advances in technology relentlessly exacerbate the ever widening chasm between the productive power of capital vs. labor. An innovative system to re-link these fundamental forces must be expeditiously ordained to equitably share the capitalist blessings of wealth and avert a looming social calamity…This week we speak with Veny Musum and Upendra Chivukula, co-authors of the brand new book, The 3rd Way: Economic Reform or Social Revolution.

Fair Food Program 18 mins – “About one-third of the fresh tomatoes sold in the U.S. come from Florida. Mainly migrant workers from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean hand-pick the tomatoes in or near the town of Immokalee, just north of the Everglades. For decades, Florida tomato pickers endured some of the worst working conditions in America. Beatings, rape and sexual harassment were common problems. Often, there were no toilets, shade or clean drinking water. Work hours were unpredictable and wages were extremely low. There were even cases of slavery. In 1993, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers began to organize. At first, it focused on ending slavery in the fields, then expanded its work to deal with wage theft and abuse. In 2001, it launched the Fair Food Program. The group brought about change by pressuring large retailers to use their market muscle to demand higher standards from suppliers….” At the link find the title, “When working conditions are ripe for change,” right-click “Media files When-working-conditions-are-ripe-for-change.mp3” and select “Save Link As” from the pop-up menu.

Job Relocating 65 mins- “Mechanical engineer Jim Heilman returns to The Engineering Commons to cover questions engineers should ask before relocating to advance their careers.Adam moved for his current job, but had to abandon the high-speed internet connection he enjoyed at his previous residence. Our guest for this episode is Jim Heilman, a mechanical engineer who spent two decades in industry before becoming a plastics industry recruiter for Discovery Personnel. Although many relocations take place for the sake of career advancement, Jim notes an increasing trend toward changing residences to be closer to family members. With increasing pressure on businesses to deliver profits, and with individuals needing to cover medical, educational, and household expenses, everyone is taking a closer look at the details in relocation packages. While some employers will increase their salary offer to induce a reluctant candidate to relocate, many employers are loath to “buy” an employee’s loyalty. No matter how attractive a job offer might seem, it’s important to gather familial consensus before agreeing to a cross-country move. While more senior engineers may be offered substantial relocation packages, younger engineers are more likely to be offered smaller, one-time cash payments to cover relocation expenses. Very few employers are willing to buy homes to help with relocation, even though this was once a common practice. During the height of the Great Recession, Jim says candidates “dug their heels in” and absolutely refused to relocate. Many employers require relocated employees to pay back a pro-rated portion of their company-paid moving expenses if they don’t remain with the firm for at least a year (or two). Whereas companies at one time were quite rigid in what they would offer for relocation, most firms are now open to negotiating relocation terms. Since housing is the largest expense for most families, one should investigate housing costs before getting too deep into negotiating a job move. Our guest notes that most employers are not keen on employees who fly or drive “home” to a different residence on the weekends. Engineers who repeatedly change jobs every year or two may eventually find it difficult to find employment, regardless of their skill level. It’s not unusual, says Jim, for an engineer to be fired when their employer discovers they are looking for a new job. Brian suggests young engineers always accept calls from recruiters, as the recruiter may be able to help secure new employment when it’s needed. Jim once dealt with a candidate who waited until very late in the relocation process to request help moving his snake collection. It’s crucial to talk with one’s family before initiating a job change that will require the family to relocate.” At the link right-click “Download” and select “Save Link As” from the pop-up menu.

Faraday showed that if a wire was turned in the presence of a magnet or a magnet was turned in relation to a wire, an electric current was generated. This ground-breaking discovery led to the development of the electric generator and ultimately to modern power stations. During his life he became the most famous scientist in Britain and he played a key role in founding the Royal Institution’s Christmas lectures which continue today.

So I’m living up to this site’s namesake and christening it Jedi Councils instead. Whatever you’d like to call them, I think Jedi Councils are incredibly valuable. I’m part of five – two of which are regular group calls with 3-4 people, and three of which are just less frequent calls with me and one other person. In each council meeting, we go over our goals, give each other advice, and hold each other accountable. Each person I talk with in these council meetings is simultaneously a friend, business contact, mentor, and mentee. Each brings unique experience and expertise to the table. I probably first mentioned my Jedi Council meetings in the “What I’m Struggling With” video …and since then, I’ve gotten a lot of emails from students who all have the same questions: “How do I create my own Jedi Councils? How do I find people who would be up for that kind of thing?” That’s exactly what I hope to answer in this episode.

It was too hard to protect chickens from predators, and Texas longhorns were still running wild. They wouldn’t be harnessed for food and commerce ’til later. For now, cattle were too valuable to eat. They gave milk and served as beasts of burden. They were even a medium of exchange in a land with no reliable currency. So pork dominated the Texas diet.

Russian Bootleg Music 19 mins – “In 1950s Soviet Russia, citizens craved Western popular music—everything from jazz to rock & roll. But smuggling vinyl was dangerous, and acquiring the scarce material to make copies of those records that did make it into the country was expensive… Musical records posed a particularly complex challenge, largely due to the need for vinyl. Some were printed on special coated paper, but these only lasted for a few plays. Ruslan Bogoslowski changed the game when he encoded music onto exposed X-Rays from medical archives and hospital trash bins. Bogoslowski would eventually spend five years imprisoned in Siberia for this innovation. The records themselves were low-tech affairs, cut from their rectilinear forms into rough circles with scissors, then burned out in the center with a cigarette so they could be seated on turntables. …even today there are fans and collectors of these precious vinyl prints, even though today the music can be exchanged more openly in free markets.” At the link right-click “Download” and select “Save Link As” from the pop-up menu.

In the Stanford study, one-hundred mealworms ingested a small pill’s worth of Styrofoam per day. Within twenty four hours, they excreted the waste as fragments that looked like rabbit droppings! It may be awhile before mealworms are deployed to plastic waste heaps, though. While the worms degrade half the plastic they ingest, they release the other half as carbon dioxide.
