Inequality
Nick Hanauer nailed it! I've made this argument before, and gotten no where. Why? It seems to make way more sense than the trickle down bs I keep hearing. Watch this first. Billionaire Nick Hanauer on inequality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBx2Y5HhplI Hanauer and TED made nice and he gave a second talk that wasn't quite as well rehearsed, but gets the point across and gives some newer data to the argument. Beware, fellow plutocrats, the pitchforks are coming http://www.ted.com/talks/nick_hanauer_beware_fellow_plutocrats_the_pitchforks_are_coming

Water on Mars!
Did you hear? New findings from our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.
Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, we found hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on Mars. One thing that researchers noticed was that the darkish streaks appear to ebb and flow over time. During warm seasons, they darken and then fade in cooler seasons.
When discovered in 2010, these downhill flows known as recurring slope lineae (RSL) were thought to be related to liquid water. With the recent spectral detection of molecular water, we’re able to say it’s likely a shallow subsurface flow explains the darkening.
Mars is so cold, how could liquid water flow there? Great question! Since this liquid water is briny, the freezing point would be lower than that of pure water. Also, these saline slopes appear on Mars when temperatures are above minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius).
The dark, narrow streaks flowing downhill in the below image are roughly the length of a football field.
So there’s water, but how much? Currently we think this area has a very small amount of water, probably just enough to wet the top layer of the surface of Mars. The streaks are around four to five meters wide and 200 to 300 meters long.
Could humans drink this water? The salts in the water appear to be perchlorates, so you probably wouldn’t want to drink the water. It would most likely be very salty and would need to be purified before human consumption.
Perchlorate…What is that? A perchlorate is a salt that absorbs water from the air. Learn more about how it’s helping us unlock the mysteries of Mars in this video:
What’s next? We want to look for more locations where brine flows may occur. We have only covered 3% of Mars at resolutions high enough to see these features.

Top Four
Fun new podcast from Marco and Toffany Arment on the RelayFM network called, Top Four. In Episode 2 they discussed their top four TV series. This got me thinking about mine. Lists are fun, admit it.
Tiffany 1. The Office (USA) 2. The Wire 3. Six Feet Under 4. Mad Men
Marco 1. The Wire * The Office (USA) * Freaks & Geeks * Arrested Development (first 3 seasons only)

Courtesy of Wired, I discovered an awesome Instagram account, SocalityBarbie. From Wired:
Socality Barbie is a fantastic Instagram account satirizing the great millennial adventurer trend in photography. It’s an endless barrage of pensive selfies in exotic locales, arty snapshots of coffee, and just the right filter on everything.

Security
Wired published a list of 12 Must-Follow Feeds in the World of Security. I was already following most of these. Good list. Although I'm not sure why Bruce Schneier was snubbed.
Wired also published a list of classic works that will help you understand security. It's a fun list.
