Digital Media Strategist Carlo Donzella and Futurist Gerd Leonhard talk about Smart Cities (MotM3)
This is the 3rd pilot for my new web-tv show called Meetings of the Mind (MotM), soon to be available at http://www.meetingsofthemind.tv). In this episode I talk to Carlo Donzella, in Rome / Italy see twitter.com As an advisor to the Lazio Region of Rome, Carlo has recently been involved in the Futouring.it project which has created 6 world-class digital media experiences for 6 world-heritage sites within the Lazio region. Carlo also teaches the "Brave New Media World" course at the Master in Development, Innovation and Change (MiDIC) of the University of Bologna (Italy) and at the PopAkademie of the University of Mannheim (Germany). A reviewer for dozens of international projects, he has covered various executive and consulting roles with many public agencies and private enterprises. We discuss Carlo #39;s work in digital, smart cities, and ponder what the future may hold for cities that use social local mobile video and cloud applications to engage with their visitors, citizens and fans. This is a wide-ranging discussion that covers a ton of stuff - hope you like it. Audio track will go up on http://www.futuretalks.com soon, as well!

Futurist says social institutions are entering the 'shift age'
Posted: at 6:50 am
If you're a futurist, this is your time of year. David Houle, described as "America's leading futurist" on the cover of his new book, "Entering the Shift Age," has plenty to say about what's coming in 2013 and beyond.
"I look at 2010 to 2020 as the transformation decade. Most of your institutions will change in character and form," said Houle, speaking from his office in Chicago.
"This is the decade when legacy thinking will fall away at an alarming rate," he said.
"I grew up reading Alvin Toffler, Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s and 1970s. I coined the phrase, the shift age, five years ago," Houle said.
Among the institutions that will shift in this decade will be higher education, he said. "I'm predicting that (higher ed) will be the next big bubble," said Houle, pointing to mounting student debt and the indebtedness of universities.
The futurist said that even a basic thing like the concept of a job is going to change. "The job is a 300-year-old institution that's going away. People will become more like independent contractors," Houle said.
As for 2013, he had some specific predictions. "The Gross Domestic Product in this country will grow between 2 and 3 percent. Unemployment will be stuck around 7 percent. A barrel of oil will be in the $90 to $120 range while natural gas will stay cheap," Houle said.
Reto Gallati, president of Chicago-based Raetia Investments, and author of "Investment Discipline: Making Errors is OK, Repeating Errors is Not OK," offered his own economic predictions for 2013:
- GDP will grow 2.2 percent.
- Unemployment will improve to 7.3 percent this year.

Students To Compete In Zero Gravity Robot Games On The Space Station

On the International Space Station this Friday, January 11, a squadron of mini satellites will wake up to obey remote commands from students across Europe. Space enthusiasts can watch a live broadcast as teams make the droids compete in a space game called RetroSpheres.
The students have been running their code in a virtual world until this point, but the high school finals will be held this Friday using the real thing: robotic droids on the International Space Station. The RetroSpheres scenario this year involves using the Spheres, which move using jets of compressed gas, to push simulated space debris out of orbit. Students from Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal, grouped into six alliances, will confront each other and see their computer code operate robots in space for the first time.
European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andre Kuipers will be providing commentary from ESTEC ESAs space research and technology center in the Netherlands. NASAs Kevin Ford and Tom Mashburn will set up the games on the Station. Andre will be with approximately 130 students at ESTEC to learn more about robotics and run their code on the Spheres floating in the Space Station.
You can follow this event via ESA web-tv, Friday from 8:30 am to 11:30am EST (14:30 to 17:30 CET).

Hadfield delves into world conflicts during news conference from space station
Posted: at 3:46 am
LONGUEUIL, Que. - Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield says everyone would benefit from seeing the world through the eyes of astronauts who are aboard the International Space Station.
During his first news conference since arriving at the giant orbiting space lab three weeks ago, the 53-year-old space veteran was asked about the conflict in Syria.
He responded that it was hard to reconcile the beauty of the world as seen from space with the terrible things that people do to each other.
Hadfield earlier tweeted a picture of the Middle Eastern country to his followers a number that had reached more than 160,000 on Thursday.
When the prolific tweeter blasted into space on Dec. 19, he had only 20,000 followers on Twitter.
The native of Sarnia, Ont., is making this third space flight after two earlier missions.
His first space trip was in November 1995 when he visited the Russian Space Station Mir. His second voyage was a visit to the International Space Station in April 2001, when he also performed two space walks.
He adds that there's a big difference between brief space visits and living in space and that's not having to rush everything this time around.
Hadfield is currently on a five-month visit and will become the first Canadian to take command of the space station in mid-March.

DNA snipping technique could transform gene therapy
Posted: at 3:45 am
BERKELEY A simple, precise and inexpensive method for cutting DNA to insert genes into human cells could transform genetic medicine, making routine what now are expensive, complicated and rare procedures for replacing defective genes in order to fix genetic disease or even cure AIDS.
Discovered last year by Jennifer Doudna and Martin Jinek of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of California, Berkeley, and Emmanuelle Charpentier of the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine-Sweden, the technique was labeled a "tour de force" in a 2012 review in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
That review was based solely on the team's June 28, 2012, Science paper, in which the researchers described a new method of precisely targeting and cutting DNA in bacteria.
Two new papers published last week in the journal Science Express demonstrate that the technique also works in human cells. A paper by Doudna and her team reporting similarly successful results in human cells has been accepted for publication by the new open-access journal eLife.
"The ability to modify specific elements of an organism's genes has been essential to advance our understanding of biology, including human health," said Doudna, a professor of molecular and cell biology and of chemistry and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at UC Berkeley. "However, the techniques for making these modifications in animals and humans have been a huge bottleneck in both research and the development of human therapeutics.
"This is going to remove a major bottleneck in the field, because it means that essentially anybody can use this kind of genome editing or reprogramming to introduce genetic changes into mammalian or, quite likely, other eukaryotic systems."
"I think this is going to be a real hit," said George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and principal author of one of the Science Express papers. "There are going to be a lot of people practicing this method because it is easier and about 100 times more compact than other techniques."
"Based on the feedback we've received, it's possible that this technique will completely revolutionize genome engineering in animals and plants," said Doudna, who also holds an appointment at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "It's easy to program and could potentially be as powerful as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)."
The latter technique made it easy to generate millions of copies of small pieces of DNA and permanently altered biological research and medical genetics.
Two developments - zinc-finger nucleases and TALEN (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases) proteins have gotten a lot of attention recently, including being together named one of the top 10 scientific breakthroughs of 2012 by Science magazine. The magazine labeled them "cruise missiles" because both techniques allow researchers to home in on a particular part of a genome and snip the double-stranded DNA there and there only.
