1 Governance professor Beth Simone Noveck, who formerly served as the first White House deputy chief technology officer, believes that “public entrepreneurship” can counter the failures that have dominated public policy design in the United States since the 1960s. Her new book, Solving Public Problems, revisits the four stages of policy design identifying problems, identifying solutions, designing for implementation, and evaluation and evolution while identifying 20 crucial decisions that prioritize “human-centered public policies.” Experts often expend much effort on program design, but once these programs are created, there is usually little fine-tuning of the implementation and hardly any emphasis on measuring whether the desired outcomes are achieved. The US federal civil service, for example, first celebrated as a defense of the “public interest” for its structural insulation from shortsighted patronage and political corruption, has recently come to b ....

Redesigned your coffee mug collection? Gave your shoes a colorful facelift? You likely answered: never, never, and never. You might consider these arduous tasks not worth the effort. But a new color-shifting programmable matter system could change that with a zap of light. MIT researchers have developed a way to rapidly update imagery on object surfaces. The system, dubbed ChromoUpdate pairs an ultraviolet (UV) light projector with items coated in light-activated dye. The projected light alters the reflective properties of the dye, creating colorful new images in just a few minutes. The advance could accelerate product development, enabling product des ....
CAPE VINCENT â The acting president of the Stone Building Appreciation Society of Northern N… The stone houses of Jefferson County that dot the landscape like sentinels honoring our early settlers could be taking a solid step in recognition and preservation. Among the 20 recommendations made by the state Board of Historic Preservation earlier this year for state and national registers of historic places, one is for âStone Buildings of Jefferson County.â Specifically, a âStone Houses of Jefferson County Multiple Property Documentation Formâ would serve as a framework for the structures to be placed on the historic registers. Participation by owners would be optional. ....
