2. Disconnect From Reality — and Modern
Conveniences — on Alaska’s Dalton Highway
by NBC NEWS
For those who believe in the road trip as an old-fashioned way of tuning out,
then the Dalton Highway is the perfect choice.
A truck rolls north along the Dalton
Highway through the Brooks Range
near Atigun Pass, Alaska, on Sept. 6,
2017. Stretching 414 miles north
from central Alaska to Prudhoe Bay,
the Dalton Highway is one of
America's northernmost roads and
arguably its most remote.
Built as a supply road for the Trans-
Alaska Pipeline, the Dalton was
opened to public use in 1981. Largely
gravel and littered with potholes, a
round-trip drive takes four days.
Though it still offers few facilities
and no radio, cell service, or
internet, the Haul Road, as it is often
called, rewards its rare visitors with
spectacular Arctic scenery.

California Institute of Technology physicists Kip S. Thorne (R) and Barry C.

Physics, which they share with MIT's Rainer Weiss, in Pasadena, California.
The three U.S. scientists won the 2017 Nobel Prize for physics for opening
up a new era of astronomy by detecting gravitational waves, ripples in
space and time foreseen by Albert Einstein a century ago. The work of
Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne crowned half a century of

work by Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson
makes it possible to image proteins and other molecules
after freezing them rapidly to preserve their shape,
providing a powerful new tool for medical research.

Frank and his wife Carol Saginaw look at
messages from friends at their home after
winning 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry in
New York City. The new approach fills a
previously blank space by generating
images of everything from the surface of
the Zika virus to proteins that cause
antibiotic resistance or are involved in
Alzheimer's. By freezing biomolecules
mid-movement, scientists can unravel
previously unseen processes - a major
advance both for basic understanding and
the potential development of new drugs.

Kazuo Ishiguro, the Japanese-born,
British-raised author of "The
Remains of the Day", won the
Nobel Prize for Literature for a run
of "exquisite" novels that the
Swedish Academy said mixed Franz
Kafka with Jane Austen. The
Academy hailed Ishiguro's ability
to reveal "the abyss beneath our
illusory sense of connection with
the world ... in novels of great
emotional force" that touch on
memory, time and self-delusion.
The writer said winning the award
was "flabbergastingly flattering ...
It comes at a time when the world
is uncertain about its values, its
leadership and its safety. I just
hope that my receiving this huge
honor will, even in a small way,
encourage the forces for good," he
told reporters at his house in north
London. REUTERS/Toby Melville

a rising risk of nuclear war and the spread of weapons to
North Korea, awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize to a
little-known campaign group seeking a global ban on
nuclear arms. The award for ICAN was unexpected,
particularly in a year when the architects of the 2015
nuclear deal between international powers and Iran had
been seen as favourites for achieving the sort of diplomatic
breakthrough that has won the prize in the past.

200. Massive Wildfires Consume Homes
Across Northern California
by NBC NEWS
More than a dozen wildfires ignited and fed on powerful winds through California
wine country overnight, state officials said Monday.
Fire glows on a hillside in
Napa, California on Oct. 9,
2017, as multiple wind-
driven fires whipped
through the region.
Gov. Jerry Brown declared
an emergency in Napa,
Sonoma and Yuba counties
as at least 15 new fires
burned across the
northern half of the state.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency
immediately agreed to the
state's request for federal
funds to help fight many of
the fires, the Department
of Homeland Security said.

U.S. academic Richard Thaler, who helped popularize the
idea of "nudging" people towards doing what was best
for them, won the 2017 Nobel Economics Prize for his
work on how human nature affects supposedly rational
markets. Influential in the field of behavioral economics,
his research showed how traits such as lack of self-
control and fear of losing what you already have prompt
decisions that may not have the best outcome in the
longer term. "I think the most important impact (of my
research) is the recognition that economic agents are
human and economic models have to incorporate that,"
Thaler, a professor at the University of Chicago Booth
School of Business, said in a call broadcast at the Nobel
news conference. Asked at a separate news conference in
Chicago if it was difficult to get traditional, data-oriented
economists to embrace his ideas, Thaler said it was
"impossible...economists don't do a lot of embracing
actually." Thaler brought to prominence the idea of
"nudge" economics, where individuals are subtly guided
toward beneficial behaviors without heavy-handed
compulsion, the theme of a 2008 book he co-wrote
which caught the eye of policymakers around the world.
In research focused on self control - or the lack of it -
Thaler touched on an age-old problem: why New Year's
resolutions to change aspects of your life are notoriously
hard to keep. The issue has relevance for economics as
individuals' tendency to fall prey to temptation often
negatively affects plans to, for instance, save for
retirement. Together with Professor Cass Sunstein, he
argued that society - while maintaining freedom of
choice - should actively try to guide individuals in the
right direction. REUTERS/Kamil Krzaczynski
