NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL PREMIERES HIDDEN CAMERA SERIES THAT USES HIGH-TECH AND MECHANICAL BUILDS TO MANIPULATE BAD BEHAVIOR
Crowd Control, Hosted by Best-Selling Author Daniel Pink, Premieres Monday, Nov. 24, at 9 & 9:30 PM ET/PT on National Geographic Channel
(WASHINGTON, D.C. - Nov. 3, 2014) What if we could make the DMV a happier place by adding a little laughter? Or curb America's speeding epidemic without issuing a single ticket? Or reduce the rate of pedestrian collisions by making it worth the wait at the crosswalk?
In National Geographic Channel's (NGC's) new 12-part series Crowd Control, premiering Monday, Nov. 24, at 9 & 9:30 p.m., viewers will discover that sometimes all you need is a little science to help make the world a better place. Best-selling author and behavior change expert Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) will use behavioral science to lead a series of experiments that show how we can apply the power of persuasion in our daily lives to reduce stress, minimize annoyances, improve health and increase happiness. Using hidden cameras to record his results, Pink will tackle the seemingly impossible task of righting everyday wrongs - from convincing partygoers to clean up their streets to stopping the senseless rush at an airport baggage claim.
Crowd Control will air globally on National Geographic Channels in 440 million homes in 171 countries and 45 languages later this fall. For more information, visit http://www.natgeotv.com and follow us on Twitter at @NGC_PR.
With 20 years of experience studying why we do the things we do, Pink will draw on academic theories and enlist an elite team of designers, builders and technologists to change bad behavior into good. Using the power of guilt, fear, shame and outright lying, Crowd Control will curate social behavior in fun and eye-popping ways that have real-life applications. He'll introduce targets in men's restrooms to reduce cleaning bills, lie to the elderly to make them stronger and scare the pants off air travelers to reduce their chances of death.
Scientifically based but shamelessly entertaining, Pink travels the country to catch unsuspecting members of the public in the act - from Brooklyn, where he'll calm a long line of patrons waiting to get into a popular pizza joint, to New Mexico, where a "musical road" will reward drivers for obeying the speed limit. He'll also convince New Orleans revelers to clean up Bourbon Street and corral oblivious texting pedestrians with a special cellphone lane in Washington, D.C. Additional stops on Pink's itinerary include Orlando, Dallas, Providence and the Jersey Shore.
"We made a list of the most annoying social situations we face on a daily basis, and then used science to fix them," said Pink. "Viewers will be amazed at just how much we can influence behavior by slightly altering the situation, and how these small adjustments can actually make a big difference in our world."

RINGGOLD, Ga. -- A North Georgia doctor must pay a patient a quarter of a million dollars after almost killing him with medicine.
In September 2011, according to court documents, Steve Gables visited Dr. Robert Burkich's Preventive Medicine Anti-Aging & Chelation practice in Ringgold. Burkich told him he had low testosterone and prescribed him Tamoxifen.
Problem is, Tamoxifen is for breast cancer, not low testosterone. And it can cause blood clots. One day, about four months after Burkich told him to take the medicine, Gables was sitting in his living room when he felt his leg cramp.
"It was just hard," he said. "Hard as granite."
He had blood clots in his legs. One of those clots, according to court documents, broke off, traveled through his bloodstream to his throat and blocked an artery. He almost died.
Gables went to Memorial Hospital's emergency room, and a doctor asked to see all of his medication. When the doctor looked at the Tamoxifen, Gables said, he almost yelled.
"Who put you on this?" the doctor demanded.
Gables, of Ooltewah, said that was the first time he learned his medication was for breast cancer. He filed a lawsuit against Burkich. Three years later, on Oct. 24, a jury ruled in Gables' favor. Burkich now must pay him $250,000.
The doctor did not return a call seeking comment Monday. But according to his website, Burkich has been treating patients since 1989.
Gables said Burkich's prescription ruined his life. Because of the clots, he now has to take blood thinners. And because he is taking blood thinners, he said, he is vulnerable to dangerous injuries.

Mistaken prescription costs North Georgia doctor $250,000
Like the most of you, I was raised among people who knew - who were certain. They did not reason or investigate. They had no doubts. They knew that they had the truth. In their creed there was no guess no perhaps. They had a revelation from God. They knew the beginning of things. They knew that God commenced to create one Monday morning, four thousand and four years before Christ. They knew that in the eternity back of that morning, he had done nothing. They knew that it took him six days to make the earth all plants, all animals, all life, and all the globes that wheel in space. They knew exactly what he did each day and when he rested. They knew the origin, the cause of evil, of all crime, of all disease and death.
At the same time they knew that God created man in his own image and was perfectly satisfied with his work... They knew all about the Flood -- knew that God, with the exception of eight, drowned all his children -- the old and young -- the bowed patriarch and the dimpled babe -- the young man and the merry maiden -- the loving mother and the laughing child -- because his mercy endureth forever. They knew too, that he drowned the beasts and birds -- everything that walked or crawled or flew -- because his loving kindness is over all his works. They knew that God, for the purpose of civilizing his children, had devoured some with earthquakes, destroyed some with storms of fire, killed some with his lightnings, millions with famine, with pestilence, and sacrificed countless thousands upon the fields of war. They knew that it was necessary to believe these things and to love God. They knew that there could be no salvation except by faith, and through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
Then I asked myself the question: Is there a supernatural power -- an arbitrary mind -- an enthroned God -- a supreme will that sways the tides and currents of the world -- to which all causes bow?
I do not deny. I do not know - but I do not believe. I believe that the natural is supreme - that from the infinite chain no link can be lost or broken that there is no supernatural power that can answer prayer - no power that worship can persuade or change no power that cares for man.
Is there a God?
I do not know.
Is man immortal?
I do not know.
One thing I do know, and that is, that neither hope, nor fear, belief, nor denial, can change the fact. It is as it is, and it will be as it must be.
We can be as honest as we are ignorant. If we are, when asked what is beyond the horizon of the known, we must say that we do not know. We can tell the truth, and we can enjoy the blessed freedom that the brave have won. We can destroy the monsters of superstition, the hissing snakes of ignorance and fear. We can drive from our minds the frightful things that tear and wound with beak and fang. We can civilize our fellow-men. We can fill our lives with generous deeds, with loving words, with art and song, and all the ecstasies of love. We can flood our years with sunshine with the divine climate of kindness, and we can drain to the last drop the golden cup of joy. Robert G. Ingersoll, The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol 1: Lectures

ATHENS, Greece NATO's new chief says the alliance is increasing its readiness and air policing following a spike in Russian air force activity in Eastern Europe.
Jens Stoltenberg says while NATO is not back on Cold War terms with its former arch-enemy, recent Russian behavior has severely undermined the trust built up over decades.
Tensions have been running high between NATO and Russia since Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in March.
Speaking Thursday during a visit to Athens, Stoltenberg said the trans-Atlantic military alliance "remains vigilant" in view of this year's tripling of Russian military flights along NATO's eastern borders.

NATO chief: Russia has tripled military flights along NATO's eastern borders this year
LONDON NATO warned of an "unusual" uptick in Russian military aircraft flying sorties in European airspace this week, saying its fighters had scrambled to intercept four groups of fighters and bombers in just a 24-hour period. "These sizable Russian flights represent an unusual level of air activity over European airspace," NATO said in a statement on Wednesday.
NATO added that it has conducted more than 100 intercepts of Russian aircraft so far this year "about three times more" than it conducted in 2013. While the alliance acknowledged that scrambling jets to intercept unknown aircraft approaching NATO airspace is "standard procedure," it noted the potential risk to civilian air traffic posed by Russian military jets which often fail to file flight plans or use on-board transponders.
The alliance said that Norwegian F-16s were scrambled Wednesday after its radar spotted eight Russian aircraft flying in formation over the North Sea. The Norwegian jets intercepted the four Tu-95 Bear H strategic bombers and four II-78 tanker aircraft, which had flown from mainland Russia. Six of those Russian aircraft turned back toward Russia, but two continued over the North Sea prompting the U.K. to scramble Typhoon fighter jets in response and later an intercept from Portugal's air force. That afternoon, NATO radars detected two bombers and two fighter jets in international airspace flying over the Black Sea. Turkish Air Force jets intercepted those aircraft, while Portuguese F-16s were scramble in response to "a number" of Russian aircraft over the Baltic Sea.
On Tuesday, seven Russian combat aircraft were detected in international airspace over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday and intercepted by German Typhoon jets "in order to identify the aircraft and protect allied airspace," NATO said. When the combat craft continued on, allied fighters from Denmark along with non-NATO members Finland and Sweden intercepted the Russian planes.
