Take A Number

Grayson Schaffer | Outside | 12 September 2012

"In the 16 years since 'Into Thin Air', Mount Everest has become safer in many ways, with better storm forecasting and amazing high-altitude rescue helicopters. So why did 10 people die in 2012?" (h/t @joespring) Comments

Elon Musk, 21st Century Industrialist

Inside The Strange Hollywood Scam That Spread Chaos Across The Middle East

Max Blumenthal | Guardian | 13 September 2012

With the attacks on Western interests in the region, "a group of fringe extremists had proven that with a little bit of money and an unbelievably cynical scam, they could shape history to fit their apocalyptic vision" Comments

The Land That Time And Money Forgot

Mark Jacobson | New York | 9 September 2012

"The projects remain a mystery to most New Yorkers, a shadow city within the city, out of sight and mind, except when someone gets shot or falls down an elevator shaft — just these bad-news redbrick piles to whiz by" Comments

Correcting Creativity: The Struggle For Eminence

Sam McNerney | Scientific American | 10 September 2012

"Generating a good idea isn’t reading a 'top-ten ways to boost your creativity' article. Nor is it cherry picking from the latest cognitive psychology research. As Nietzsche described, it is like delivering and nurturing a child" Comments

Cheat Sheet - What Hillary Knew—and When

The Cheat Sheet

Today: Obama Pulls Ahead on Economy , As Muslims Protest, America Is on Alert , Alleged Filmmaker Interviewed by Police
Cheat Sheet: Morning

September 15, 2012
RESPONSE

The deaths of four Americans in Libya this week tested the resolve of Hillary Clinton and her employees. The Daily Beast’s Daniel Klaidman on what happened inside the State Department as the events unfolded.

SURVEY SAYS

Another day, another poll. The latest one, conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, reveals that voters are more confident in Obama's ability to fix the economy and make jobs, taking away Romney's longstanding lead on economic issues. The president is also ahead in issues relating to foreign policy, Medicare, and the middle class. In fact, the only category in which voters say he falls decidedly short of Romney is handling the federal deficit. But don’t get too excited, Dems: The poll also puts Obama ahead of Romney in a vote, though his three-point lead still falls within the poll's margin of error.

FURy

Protests across the Muslim world are posing an enormous test to U.S. diplomacy efforts—and stoking fears of a terrorist attack. The Daily Beast’s Dan Ephron on the brewing crisis.

CENTER OF IT ALL

A California man widely believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was taken in by police shortly after midnight Saturday to be interviewed about his involvement in an anti-Muslim film, Innocence of Muslims, that has sparked widespread violence throughout the Middle East. He was not arrested or detained, but taken in voluntarily to speak with police. Nakoula, who claims to have been the film's logistics manager but not its director, has in the past been convicted on bank fraud charges and may have violated his probation in uploading the controversial movie to YouTube.

Asylum

In a show of solidarity on Saturday, the Indigenous Social Justice Association, an Australian activist group, held a ceremony in Sydney offering Australian Julian Assange an Aboriginal passport. The WikiLeaks founder's father, who says his son has been "abandoned" by Australian authorities, was on hand to accept the passport, which will be sent to Assange in the Ecuadorean embassy in London. The group that issued the passport is an activist association pushing for the recognition of Aboriginal sovereignty, a cause Assange backs. But the passport is merely symbolic: the current Australian government has still made no moves.
