IEEE Spectrum August 2010 David Schneider	How to Drill A Relief Well Guiding relief wells to end the Gulf blowout requires considerable technical finesse
IEEE Spectrum August 2010 Ariel Bleicher	The Gulf Spill's Lessons for Robotics The demands on the largest underwater robotic armada ever fielded show that ROVs need better automation
IEEE Spectrum August 2010 Paul McFedries	Technically Speaking: Hacking the Planet There's plenty of controversy swirling around the idea of climate intervention -- and no shortage of new words
IEEE Spectrum August 2010 Philip E. Ross	Whimsy and Invention You have to sift a lot of pebbles to find a grain of gold. That's why the patent law (such as it is) tolerates -- indeed, encourages -- a playful attitude among the tiny sliver of the population that ever invents anything.
IEEE Spectrum August 2010	Reporting From the Field Freelance writer Mark Harris tests an MRI-based lie detector
National Defense September 2010 Mark Russell	One Company's Approach to Solving the Nation's STEM Dilemma Raytheon understands how to analyze complex systems in a comprehensive manner.
