Powerbag introduces a ton of ways to charge just about everything
Not surprisingly, this carrier doesn't have the sort of cache of, say, a Crumpler bag. This is a big bag that charges up to four mobile devices at the same time -- it looks about as dorky as you'd suspect from such a product, but when it comes to the love of your mobile devices, sometimes such vanity has to go out the window, right? Among the upgrades to the line is a slimmer battery, for charging your devices on the go -- certainly a welcome change. You can pick a Powerbag up now for $140.
Also new is the myCharge Folio, an iPhone 4S case with a built-in USB cable that mimics the design of the Apple Smart Cover for the iPad and promises to double your battery life for $80. The $100 myCharge Duet also has a built-in USB cable and comes in two pieces, so you can slide off the battery, when you need the thing to be a little less bulky. The myCharge Concierge, meanwhile, is a portable charger with two USB ports for and an integrated car adapter that pops out. It'll run you $40.
The myCharge Scout runs the same, featuring an integrated USB cord and a proprietary Apple connecter. For $60, you can pick up the myCharge Quest, which packs in a USB cord, and connecters for Apple and microUSB devices.

All eyes are on bald eagles as survey begins
If bald eagles around the United States get the feeling they're being watched, they won't be suffering from paranoia or an inflated ego.
For the next two weeks, the national bird of the United States will be receiving special attention from a swarm of researchers and citizen scientists in the air, on land and in the water.
The 34th annual Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey kicked off on Wednesday. During the bird census, hundreds of volunteers throughout the lower 48 states will join forces with federal, state and advocacy organization scientists to collect data on these once-nearly-extinct birds along 740 established survey routes.
Forty-four percent of the surveys conducted through Jan. 18 will be from vehicles, 18 percent from fixed-wing aircraft, 8 percent from boats and 7 percent from helicopters.

The 2012 Weird Science Awards
"The power of this survey is continuity," said 2012 national survey coordinator Wade Eakle, an ecologist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "We have a lot of confidence in what we can now say about the status of wintering bald eagles in the United States."
The surveys began in 1979, a dozen years after legislation protected bald eagles as an endangered species. (That 1967 law was a precursor of the Endangered Species Act of 1973.)
In June 2007, the Department of the Interior took the bald eagle off the endangered species list, making it one of a handful of species to fight its way back from the brink of extinction.
The most recent population statistics, which cover the 10 years from 1986 to 2005, indicated an increase in bald eagles along 63 percent of the routes surveyed.
Each year the survey results are compiled to help create a long-term analysis of bald eagle population trends. A new 25-year trend analysis for the years 1986 to 2010 is due out this spring. Past survey results are available online.
The website will soon get an overhaul to make it more user-friendly, made possible by funding from the American Eagle Foundation.
The survey is a joint project of the American Eagle Foundation, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Brian Millsap, national raptor coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Service, said, "The information gathered on population trends and habitat is increasingly important to permitting decisions being made by the Service for renewable energy and other projects."

Dr. Peggy Drexler: Happy New Year?
Even assuming that the Mayan calendar got it wrong, and the planet will not end in cataclysm -- 2012 still figures to be a tough year.
We're going to live through the bizarre primary of C-list choices, and a general election that is likely to leave us all feeling like the clean-up crew after a carnival.
Then again, maybe the Mayans saw this coming.
It will be an election where the super-PACs, by law, can spend what they want, and say what they want, about anybody they want. The candidates can claim nothing to do with any of it, while repudiating none of it.
So as much as we might want to feel the sense of hope and possibility that comes with the change of years, this is an election year. Worse, it comes in a time spittle-flecked animosity toward the effrontery of contrary opinion.
Imagine what the coming months of full-contact campaigning and mercenary assaults on character are going to do to positions already tempered by four years of political trench warfare.
Reporter and commentator Sam Donaldson once said of Washington politics: "Only the amateurs stay mad." That was politics then. Politics now is a place of molten incivility and viscous resentment. Anger is the common ground.
All due respect to Mr. Donaldson. Everybody's mad, and they're going to stay mad -- about houses, about taxes, about spending, about jobs, about inequality, about healthcare, about marriage, about faith, about immigration, about war, about security, about our shaken sense of national identity.
The irony here is the corrosive division over these issues eats away at any hope we can resolve them.
But: back to the New Year being a time of possibility.
It's possible that the economy will allow some rays of sunshine break through the low-hanging clouds of the past few years.
If it's true that the angriest people are the people who are most afraid, a calmer and more optimistic constituency might make for more collaborative representation. It might diminish the fear that giving something to get something will invite the torch-bearers of the extremes to drag you from your office come next election.
Even so, it's going to take time and courage to reach across the divisions of recent years -- where rational policy has become entangled in convoluted resentments.
In the hopes that 2012 will, in fact, be a happier year, I humbly offer this piece of advice to those who would lead us out of the dark impasse of ideologies:
"Go to hell" is no way to start a negotiation.
