A study published by a sociologist has revealed that fear-mongering non-governmental anti-Muslim organisations have been heavily influencing US media since 9/11, their messages seeping into news articles and television reporting and drawing their ethos from the fringes, straight into the mainstream.
What's perhaps most troubling about the results is how these minor groups, which would ordinarily receive little or no air time, have gained an element of respect that has led to them receiving more funding and coupling with influential bodies. Their influence is such that they have even been able to paint mainstream Muslim organisations as radical, says the study.

As I can attest firsthand, one of the biggest obstacles to getting students engaged in geology courses is being stuck in a classroom. It's a science meant to be taken in by striding up hills and with a liberal application of hammers. And while it's immensely beneficial to tackle the basic principles using simplified models and diagrams, it's hard to really appreciate them until you've seen them in the stony flesh, connecting with an unfamiliar Earth that's millions or even billions of years in the past.
In a world of tight class schedules and even tighter budgets, opportunities for excursions to the field are few, so the challenge is to bring as much of the outside world into the classroom as possible. Recently, a new tool has made it a little easier for educators to do just that.

New Yorkers weary of urban inequality have taken it upon themselves to pilfer equipment from luxury development sites in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and redistribute it to those in need. The group is operating offline because of recent government "zeal" for monitoring social network activity.
Speaking to Wired.co.uk, an anonymous member of the group said its targets are in the double digits, in Manhattan and almost exclusively luxury residential condo towers "financed with hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from the usual Wall Street banks".
The group began its deliberate redistribution of thousands of dollars worth of goods prior to Thanksgiving, after becoming frustrated with the lacklustre relief efforts on the ground following a storm that left thousands displaced, millions without electricity and caused an estimated $20 billion in damage to New York City alone.

Indoor spaces are getting smart; now they are embedded with sensors that monitor humidity, temperature and light. "The challenge is connecting to this nervous system," says Joe Paradiso, director of the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab. His solution: WristQue, a plastic wristband that gives you remote control over your surroundings (shown above, on its charging dock). The low-power, 16-bit device has buttons to control temperature and electronics, and a slider to adjust lighting. The building stores weekly usage patterns for each room; when people enter, it adjusts heat and light based on the previous week's data. When they leave, windows are closed and air conditioning is turned off, which cut energy use by a quarter during a three-week test.
WristQue can also identify who's in the space and automate their preferred conditions. What if some like it hot and others like it cold? Easy: "We give you a happy medium," says Paradiso.

This infographic reveals the world's most influential people, born before 1950, using data from all language editions of Wikipedia. "It shows you how the world perceives your own national culture," says César Hidalgo, head of the Media Lab's Macro Connections group, who researched the data. "It's a socio-cultural mirror."
Rankings are based on parameters such as the number of language editions in which that person has a page, and the number of people known to speak those languages (L/BN). "We use historical characters as proxies for culture," says Hidalgo. "It's easier to track knowledge about Shakespeare than about each of the characters he created in his writing."

Growing up in the US, I didn't have much first-hand knowledge of technological progress in other countries. I assumed some countries were rich, which meant they had lots of cars, computers and electricity, whereas others were poor, which meant that most people cooked on charcoal, used kerosene for light and went through their lives without making a phone call. I'd developed a (not uncommon) cognitive shortcut: technological progress happens in parallel, so countries are high-tech or low-tech, never a blend of the two.
One trip to sub-Saharan Africa is all it takes to demonstrate the failings of this mental shortcut. Wireless ISPs were common in the Ghanaian capital of Accra before public Wi-Fi nodes were widespread in the US. My hacker friends in Lagos work from taxicabs, logging on to 4G networks. In Kenya, 70 percent of adults use M-Pesa, a phone-based payment system, to buy groceries and send money to family. On much of the African content, telecoms infrastructure is world class, whereas transport, power and other infrastructures lag far behind.

Can technology set us free? That was the title of the Battle of Ideas, held on 22 November by the Institute of Ideas -- a seemingly impossible question to answer in two short hours in a packed room at the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Shining examples of the liberating power of tech touted in the opening remarks of the discussion, led by David Bowden, were of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic games -- spectacles of the innovation and technologies intimately entwined in the British story. The other side of that coin; had technology become a force that deprives people of their freedom, their raison d'etre, as the smartphone transform leisure time into work time?

Apple's impressive, futuristic-looking "spaceship campus" is lifting off later than planned.
The company's galactic headquarters, which will house 13,000 employees, was slated for completion in 2015, but that's been pushed back a year because Apple was late in delivering its second set of plans to the city of Cupertino. The company had hoped to break ground on the 0.71-kilometre square campus by the end of the year, but that probably won't happen until 2014 because Apple didn't file the revised proposal until November. It was due in September.
Oops. But don't think that's got anyone at City Hall upset.

A Texas high school student is being suspended for refusing to wear a student ID card implanted with a radio-frequency identification chip.
Northside Independent School District in San Antonio began issuing the RFID-chip-laden student-body cards when the semester began in the autumn.

How hard does star US basketball player Kobe Bryant dunk? Add aerospace tech to a basketball net and you can find out, right down to the joule.
The Slam Force Net, by MIT researchers Dan Novy and Santiago Alfaro, quantifies dunks. The pair replaced the string net with carbon-impregnated silicon rubber used for O-ring drive-belts in the aerospace industry. Its electrical resistance changes as it stretches; this change is measured to derive a calculation of how much energy, in joules, the dunk adds.

Architect Jennifer Broutin wants to turn busy urbanites into farmers in their spare time. "Imagine if people in your neighbourhood grew food in small quantities," she says. "We could change the way good, fresh food is produced and distributed in cities." So Broutin, a graduate student at MIT's Changing Places lab, built a little patch of synthetic land -- a 30cm squared module that can be installed in even the smallest home.
Each module, called a SeedPod, is made of a reflective plastic fitted with discs of neoprene, a black rubber into which seeds are planted. "You don't need any soil or water, because we provide water and nutrients in the form of a misted spray," says Broutin, 30.

FreeD is a tool for wannabe Rodins who don't have time to learn the craft. "I was fascinated by sculpting, but couldn't spend ten hours a day for five years to develop the skill," says Amit Zoran, a computer engineer at the Media Lab's Responsive Environments group. "So I thought of borrowing this ability from a computer."
Zoran, 36, developed the FreeD: a handheld tool that allows you to sculpt freely from a foam block, while software prevents you from making mistakes. Trackers on the tool's head are connected to a CAD model to monitor your handiwork. If the tracker pushes past a geofenced boundary, the tool pulls itself back; if you keep pushing, it turns itself off. Zoran's goal is to bring the artist's hand back into digital fabrication, allowing for a freedom of artistic expression -- backed with the precision of CAD. "The element I'd like to preserve is the quality of authenticity," he says. "There's a very rich literature discussing the importance of craft to the individual and to society. But in a modern environment we lose it, we replace everything by machine because they are much more efficient."
