&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) is an electro-magnetic thruster for spacecraft propulsion. It uses radio waves to ionize a propellant and magnetic fields to accelerate the resulting plasma to generate thrust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reframing the “War on the Car”:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having &lt;a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/programs/environment/utsp/casestudy/cs72e-completestreets.htm" target="_blank"&gt;complete streets&lt;/a&gt; doesn’t mean that every road must come equipped with bike lanes, ten-metre sidewalks, speed humps, and no parking. Complete streets don’t all conform to a single uniform design throughout the city. Requiring complete streets simply means that designers must consider all users of a road when planning and building it. The consideration could be something as simple as ensuring that automated signals can properly &lt;a href="http://www.toronto.ca/cycling/network/bikeway-design.htm#actuated-signals" target="_blank"&gt;detect cyclists&lt;/a&gt;, allowing pedestrians to cross a road safely mid-block [&lt;a href="http://www.roadwaysafetyaudits.org/library/item216.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;], or putting a crown on a sidewalk so that rain, snow, and ice drain off rather than onto it. And yes, it may even include slowing down cars. The idea is that roads shouldn’t be dangerous for anybody, no matter what kind of vehicle (or lack thereof) someone is using. It’s certainly true that many roads are dangerous for kids and seniors to get around on, but it’s pretty difficult to argue that any roads &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; be dangerous. So why do we continue to make them that way except for a handful of special streets that get special attention and are allowed to be used by people not in cars?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The iPhone is a rich portable computer with onboard sensors. Specifically, it is a location-aware (GPS), motion-aware (accelerometer), directionally-aware (digital compass) visually aware (camera being used to scan QA codes or serve as visual input), sonically aware (microphone and speakers), always-connected (wireless or 3Gs) handheld computer. Every operative word in that sentence is deeply meaningful and rich with possibilities we have just begun to explore. The iPhone does a whole lot more than display information. It is an environmental sensor. Its value lies just as much in sensing information as it does in displaying information.&lt;/p&gt;
