In the wake of Hurricane Sandy's destruction, some companies have stepped up in inspiring ways to help its displaced and struggling victims.

While many big businesses have donated money to charity, other have taken a more active role and are going into evacuated zones to get their hands dirty.

From Duracell driving trucks into Battery park with phone chargers and internet accessible lap tops to gyms opening their doors (and showers) to non members to banks waving ATM withdrawal fees for people with competitors' cards, these acts of good will inspire you to believe in corporate kindness.

This starkly contrasts with nine companies that exploited the storm for profit.

Duracell is giving power.

After lower Manhattan was left without power after Sandy hit, Connecticut-based Duracell deployed Rapid Responder four-by-four trucks to one of the worst hit areas in NYC: Battery Park.

Each truck came with phone charging stations and computers with internet access so New Yorkers could reach out to friends and family via email and social media sites. The Rapid Responders have since roamed the streets of New York and New Jersey to help people power up.

Comcast is providing wifi to non-customers.

The FCC stated that about 25 percent of cable customers living in the 10 states impacted by Hurricane Sandy have lost service.

Comcast, which operated 50,000 public hot spots across the country, wants to help and opened up its Xfinity Wifi in impacted areas to everyone ... customer or not.

All you have to do is search for the "xfinitywifi" network, click on "Not a Comcast subscriber?" and then sign in for a "Complimentary Trial Session" through November 7.

Here's a list of hot spots.

New York Sports Club and other gyms ... other than Equinox, that is ... are offering showers.

New York Sports Clubs that were unaffected by the storm have opened up their doors to victims of Hurricane Sandy. A press release states:

"In an effort to offer the comforts of home to all those who have been affected, the New York Sports Clubs will be opening its doors to all victims for full use of its facilities, whether it's the need for a hot shower, to charge a cell phone battery, or simply to recharge their batteries with a stress-relieving workout."

Yoga to the People is also letting powerless New Yorkers shower and charge up.

An Equinox gym goer told us that the elite gym is actually tightening its restrictions and not allowing guest passes or free trials to keep crowds down.

With New Jersey slowly starting to pull itself back together after the devastation caused by Sandy, life there remains far from normal.

Damages to businesses could reach $30 billion and over 2 million New Jersey homes and business remain without power.

Click here to go straight to the photos >

We headed out there to see how the state is doing post-Sandy and while things are getting better there remain sharp contrasts in the areas affected. Some face limited damage and have power or are near people with power. Those areas are calmer with people gathering at charging stations or malls or going to friends' homes.

Other parts of the state like Lake Ferry and Moonachie are still submerged in water. Many there are struggling with the permanent loss of property and possessions. There people are still slowly getting back on their feet and reorganizing their lives. 

One of the first things we noticed when we got to New Jersey were the incredible gas lines, the state is running out of gas and people are getting desperate. Police are on hand to maintain order. 

We traveled through Bergen County, into Lake Ferry and Moonachie and then down to Hoboken and will be sharing out findings over the coming days.

Our first stop, after a gas station, was Garden State Plaza, where the mall has opened to allow people to charge phones and devices. 

We've never seen a mall like this. 

The first thing you notice when you get to New Jersey are the gas lines.

Some stretch for more than 2-3 miles.

In that front red car, Shari Howard got lucky, she pulled into the line at an exit point (there was no way to drive to the end) and was able to get up to the pump in only 10 minutes. She had traveled down from badly damaged Greenwood Lake, NY to visit family.

Outside Chengdu, in central China, a 78 million square foot site has been determined for an unconventional sort of construction project. It will be a city built from scratch, for 80,000 people, none of whom will need a car to get around.

Click here to see the master plan >

The "Great City" is a plan for an ambitious urban center designed to limit its residents environmental impact by producing clean energy, reducing waste, and promoting public transportation over individual car use.

The project is the work of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, who note that "Chinese planning officials [are] beginning to see the effects of automobile-dependent design and are open to better alternatives to urban sprawl."

It has been called the "Car-Free City," a moniker that is not entirely accurate. The architecture firm notes that the vision is for a city where "cars will be essentially unnecessary," but allowed. 

The master plan includes many good ideas. Half the road space will be reserved for non-motorized traffic, and electric shuttles will get people where they cannot or do not want to walk. All homes will be within a two-minute walk of a public park.

An "eco-park" will treat wastewater and solid waste, and generate power. Land outside the city will be reserved for farming. Wildlife habitat will be protected. Buildings have been designed to maximize the use of wind power; the planners decided Chengdu's hazy climate is not conducive to solar power.

All told, Smith and Gill expect to cut energy use by 48 percent, water use by 58 percent, and produce 89 percent less waste, compared to a conventional development with a similar population.

Going beyond environmental impact, Smith and Gill designed Great City to provide residents with affordable housing, education, and medical care, all clustered in the city center to encourage a thriving civic life.

It's a lovely vision for anyone concerned by climate change and social inequity, and the effectiveness of the power, transportation, and recycling systems will be judged once in place. But the project as a whole raises some questions.

Can a city built so quickly stand the test of time? What happens to the architects' scheme if residents don't behave as expected? And even if this eco-city works as planned, what can China do to translate this program to the hundreds of millions of people living in older cities?

Still, considering the rate at which China is urbanizing, a proven plan for minimizing the environmental impact of new cities would be worth a lot.

The design is the work of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture.

It will be built on the fringes of Chengdu, a city of 17 million people.

The master plan calls for a dense city surrounded by farmland. The team is also considering vertical farming in buildings.

There's still a debate over whether people are born with innate talents, or if genius is learned through intense practice.

In his new book, "Mastery," Robert Greene argues that humans are hardwired to succeed and overcome, and with discipline and a number of concrete steps, anybody has the potential to become great.

He looks through the biographies of historical greats, interviews contemporary masters, and draws from years of psychology research to distill steps anyone can follow to become a master in their own right.

Thanks to Mr. Greene for permission to excerpt his book 

STEP 1: FIND YOUR LIFE'S TASK

Many people have an intense feeling about what they're best at. Too often, they're driven away from it by by other people. The first step is to trust yourself, and aim your career path at what's unique about you.

Leonardo Da Vinci didn't come into his own as an artist alone, but when he followed his childhood curiosity about everything, he became an advisor and expert in everything from architecture to anatomy for his patrons.

Rather than compete in a crowded field, find a niche where you can dominate.

Legendary neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran was at once a restless and dissatisfied Professor of Psychology. What was supposed to be a calling felt like a job. When he began the study of phantom limbs and anomalous brain disorders, he found questions about the brain and consciousness that fascinate him to this day. 

Find your perfect niche, and stand out.

Rebel against the wrong path, and use that anger as motivation.

Mozart was a child prodigy on the piano. At a very young age, his domineering father toured Europe with him. When he discovered a talent for unique composition, his father suppressed it. It wasn't until he rejected his father entirely that he became a master.

We are often attracted to the wrong things, whether it be money, fame, or approval.

As they do with every new device, the iFixIt staff has dissected the latest-generation iPad to see what's going on inside.

Their exploratory surgery of the device reveal that the display is now manufactured by LG and that Apple's use of the new Lightning connector didn't actually save any space inside the device.

One of the major differences implemented in the new iPad is this smaller dock connector (the previous generation dock connector appears on top)

Deutsche Bank’s  U.S. equity strategy team, with David Bianco at the helm, released a report on Monday with an instructive title: “Use dip to buy global growth stocks.”

To this end, they shot off a list of 27 stocks with market capitalizations below $10 billion, net debt to market cap ratios of under 30 percent (for non-financials), and projected 2013 EPS growth of over 5 percent.

Although 3Q earnings reports have been disappointing, the team is encouraged by year-over-year sales growth numbers and believe the foreign exchange headwinds impacting profit margins will fade.

Mileage runners are a subculture of frequent flyers who've found impressive ways to hack the system. 

In online forums like Flyer Talk, they debate the best ways to rack up the most miles for the least amount of money.

But while each flyer has her own unique style and mileage goal, they can all agree on one thing: Elite status is the only way to fly. 

"I know people who have a passion for new routes, new aircraft, new carriers, etc., but that's not me," says Scott Mackenzie, who runs the blog HackMyTrip. "If sitting on a plane for a day means I get an upgrade or a free flight in the future, that's a fair trade." 

We reached out to eight mileage runners and asked them to share their best runs, travel tips and what they have in their carry-on. 

Michelle Singh spent a Saturday flying 'MRY-SFO-PHX-LAX-MRY' as a kid to make Premier status.

Background: Today she's a stay-at-home mom and private pilot who blogs at Miles Points and Mai Tais. Check out her cool aviation photos on ThirtySixThousand.com and follow her on Twitter @hulagrrl210. 

First run: "My very first mileage run was as a kid," says Singh. "I was just a few hundred miles short of making Premier for the very first time, so my dad dropped me off at the airport one morning, and I spent my Saturday flying MRY-SFO-PHX-LAX-MRY. No one seemed to care that I was an unaccompanied minor." 

The status: Premier Gold on United. "I like having access to their Economy Plus seating and Star Alliance lounges when I travel overseas," she says. "Another great perk that many overlook is their very generous 3 x 70 lb. baggage policy."  

The goal: Become a million miler. "I have about 800,000 lifetime miles, so I figured after two years of making 1K, I should reach that goal. After that, I'll be a Premier Gold for life!"

In her carry-on: Noise canceling headphones: "Crying babies and loud talkers are no match for my Bose QC15s." 

Best way to pass time: People watching.  

Tip: Do a stopover to get more value. "Technically, a stopover is anything over 24 hours, but a long layover, like 18 hours, is still a great way to see a new city." 

Stefan Krasowski drove through all seven United Arab Emirates within 24 hours to make it in the Travelers Century Club.

Background: The New York business exec runs Rapid Travel Chai, an internationally-focused blog that helps people book the trip of the lifetime, even if it's just for one weekend. Follow him on Twitter @rapidtravelchai. 

Greatest run: "One Friday night I left work, flew to Dubai, arrived Saturday night, spent 24 hours driving over 500 miles to each of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, each counting as a country for the Travelers Century Club," recalls Krasowski. "I flew back Sunday night and went straight into the office Monday morning. 16,000 miles flown, seven countries visited, awesome memories, no vacation days used." 

The status: Delta Diamond, "which gives a tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of fee waivers and flight changes," he says. 

The goal: Travel to every country in the world while holding down a full-time job. "Many of these trips include airfares, often for the shortest flight, that would be prohibitively expensive without being able to redeem miles for them," says Krasowski. 

In his carry-on: "Passport, international driving permit, international certificate of vaccination, cash, multiple credit and debt cards; something to read, something to listen to." 

Biggest challenge: "Earning tolerance from my wife is a lifetime work in progress." 

Tip: Always book on a Tuesday at 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. Eastern Time. "That is almost always when fares drop each week. My Tuesday lunchtime is always blocked for checking airfares," says Krasowski. 

Greg Davis-Kean took advantage of a Sears promotion and flew across the country in one day.

Background: Davis-Kean is the full-time blogger behind The Frequent Miler, which helps readers use plastic to get elite status faster. Follow him @FrequentMiler.

Craziest run: "Sears happened to be having a big promotion that day in which they were offering 10 points per dollar through Chase's Ultimate Rewards Mall, and so I spent the day not just flying, but blogging about my online shopping experiences as well," Davis-Kean recalls. Read his adventure here. 

Status: Delta Platinum, which requires 75,000 medallion qualifying miles per year. 

The goal: Keep high elite status with Delta. "With Platinum status, Delta allows free changes to award tickets (up to 72 hours in advance)," making those miles more valuable. "If I see a tempting award, I can book it just in case," says Davis-Kean. "If I decide later that it doesn't work for me, I can cancel it without penalty." 

In his carry-on: "My iPhone, iPad, and laptop go with me everywhere."

Favorite airline: "I really do like Delta," Davis-Kean says. "It works because I live near a Delta hub and I have high level status, which gives me perks when flying (elite security line, priority boarding, free domestic upgrades, etc.)." 

Tip: Stop booking nonstop flights. "By including a stop or two you can greatly increase your earned miles often without paying much (if any) extra," he says.

Apple's iPad mini went on sale in the U.S. this morning. We waited at Apple's flagship 5th Avenue store and the line wrapped around an entire city block.

The iPad mini's screen measures 7.9 inches diagonally and the device is thinner than a pencil. Even the box is extremely light and surprisingly tiny.

Apple's iPad mini is available now starting at $329.

We'll have a review of the iPad mini on Tuesday. In the meantime, check out some hands-on photos in the gallery below.

The first thing we noticed about the iPad mini box is how light it was. It almost felt like nothing was in there. The device weighs in at 0.68 pounds.

The iPad mini comes in two colors, black or white. We opted for the black version.

The mini comes wrapped just like any other Apple device.

Central banking is at a historic crossroads.

All of the developed world's biggest central banks continue to pursue loose monetary policy in a long-running bid to stimulate economies still struggling to move past the effects of the financial crisis that began five years ago.

Two of those central banks – the Federal Reserve and the ECB – have recently unveiled programs that have been particularly notable for global markets. Both have pledged unlimited intervention in government bond markets (although, unlike that of the Fed, ECB intervention comes with conditionality).

The question becomes: how do markets react to such an unprecedented situation?

Societe Generale strategist Patrick Legland put together a big chartbook to shed some light on this question in a recent report titled Fed vs. ECB: 20 charts to show how Central Bank policy impacts asset prices. In 20 charts, Legland succinctly illustrates the effects – and limitations – of unconventional monetary policy when it comes to markets and the economy.

Thanks to Societe Generale for letting us feature their charts.

Additional monetary easing gives stocks less and less of a boost

Yet the ECB's announcement of its OMT bond-buying program has boosted stocks more than past interventions

And the rally started even before that, when Draghi said the ECB stood ready to do "whatever it takes to save the euro"

Pandora CTO Tom Conrad is remarkably calm for someone who has two of the largest tech companies in the world gunning for him.

He joined the Internet streaming music service in 2004 and helped create its namesake app, which has 58.3 million people listening in every month. 

The popularity of Internet music isn't lost on Apple or Microsoft. Apple bought Lala, a Pandora competitor, a couple of years ago, and is rumored to be adding music streaming to iTunes any day now.

And Microsoft has introduced Xbox Music, a Pandora-like service that's built into new Windows PCs, phones, and tablets. Pandora shares dipped after the announcement.

Why isn't Conrad worried?

He professes ignorance about Apple's plans. But he actually worked for Apple early in his career, building key features of the Mac OS. (Spring-loaded folders? He's got a patent for that.) And Pandora is a hugely important iPhone app—part of the ecosystem that makes Apple's smartphones so hot. 

Microsoft has recognized that, giving Windows Phone 8 users a free year of Pandora One, the ad-free premium subscription that normally goes for $36. 

Meanwhile, Conrad's team keeps improving the product—with its latest release, perhaps its biggest update ever, Pandora 4.0.

The new version adds more social features, like following and profiles. Subtle design changes make the app feel faster and fresher.

A bigger issue for Pandora is the regulatory structure under which it operates. Internet radio services get to avoid wrangling with labels over licenses by paying set fees. But regulators have made those prices much higher for Internet radio than for other audio broadcasters. In 2011, the streaming radio service paid over 50% of its revenues out as performance royalties, while SiriusXM paid less than 10%. So it's supporting a bill called the Internet Radio Fairness Act which would reform that pricing. Record labels are fighting it, naturally.

Through it all, Conrad exudes a calm confidence about Pandora's future.

The following is a lightly edited transcript of the conversation we had with Conrad.

Business Insider: The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg both reported last week that Apple was in talks with record labels to create what they called a "Pandora killer." What do you think about those reports?

Tom Conrad: I don't know anything about what Apple's doing, so i can't speculate on that.

Pandora has faced competition from the first days of the service, all the way back in 2005, when we launched and Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL were the biggest Internet radio players. Over the years we competed with MySpace Music, too. 

Through it all we've managed to stick with over 70% of all internet radio listeners. We've just announced that there are 175 million registered Pandora listeners.

But my sense about Apple entering streaming radio is that Pandora will continue to do the same things we've done all these years and the rest will sort itself out.

BI: What are the odds of making headway with the labels over royalties? Many speculate that this is what is keeping the company's valuation down. 

TC: What we're focused on with respect to the licensing dimension is creating a level playing field so we're held to the same standards as satellite radio and all other forms of digital radio. 

That's why the Internet Radio Fairness Act is so important to us. We're really concerned with this kind of arcane U.S. copyright process. We've built a big successful business that continues to grow and we'll fight for equality and fairness on the licensing front. But the company's success isn't predicated on those changes.

BI: There's a huge opportunity in the proliferation of mobile devices in growing economies. How can you get Pandora to those people? 

TC: Pandora's international expansion is one of the things that's tied to licensing. We just recently announced  an expansion into Australia and New Zealand, we're in beta there today, and will launch general availability in the coming months.

That's just one example of a region where we can negotiate to reasonable economic terms. We'll look to replicate that success in other countries over time.

BI: Who do you see as Pandora's biggest competition? What do you think of Xbox Music?

TC: I can say that generally I am not terribly competition-centric in my thinking of Pandora. We show up to work everyday with one goal, to make the best playlists in the world and get them in the hands of our listeners. With that focus, the competition sorts itself out.

If you look at how people consume music in the U.S., 80% of all music listening in the country is radio and Pandora is about 6% of that. The really big growth opportunity for us is taking on the mantle of being the future of radio and from that frame the competitors are traditional radio broadcasters.

In terms of Xbox Music, I haven't seen it. I've just read things, so I don't have a opinion about that.

BI: Where do you see Pandora in the next six months to a year?

TC: I'm excited about the huge investments we are making to ensure that the listening experience on Pandora is the best in the world. When listeners tune into a station we're focused on what songs we play and the order in which songs play, coupled with the familiarity and discovery that comes along with that. We think its important to pay attention to and improve how listening changes in a day and in a month. That's job No. 1 for us. 

And we have some great stuff coming. I'm really excited about the job we're doing on the automotive front, when people buy a new car and bring it home, they can fully enjoy Pandora.

The last thing that's exciting for us is the release of Pandora 4.0. This is the first time we've had a consistent experience and amount of features across the Web, Android and iOS. This consistency is going to allow us to continue to enhance the experience on Pandora across those platforms. Now when we come up with a great new experience for the Pandora listener, we can roll that out across the platform. As a designer that's a huge upgrade from where we've been.

To no one's surprise, Oregon is debuting splashy new uniforms for tomorrow's big game against USC.

Nike is calling them "White Vapor," and they're the lightest, fastest uniforms they've ever made.

They're nearly entirely white. The helmet is white with metallic silver wings, the pants are entirely white, and the shirts are white with the exception of the copper numbers.

Basically, it's the Oregon version of a plain white uniform, and we think it looks great.

The numbers are subtly different from Oregon's normal numbers to make them more legible

The wings are in a grey-to-white gradient pattern

The collars feature a silver O

Just a few miles from Manhattan, the residents of Moonachie, New Jersey thought they had escaped Sandy's wrath, until about 10:00 p.m. Monday night.

It was then that half-a-dozen levies gave way on the Hackensack River and the waters began pouring in.

Residents didn't stand a chance. They lost their vehicles, large portions of their homes, and cherished family heirlooms they never thought to secure.

Now days later and still without power or any idea when it will return — and with their streets still filled with water — the people of Moonachie feel frustrated and abandoned. Still they're working together to rebuild their town.

We drove out to Moonachie yesterday to take pictures and hear their stories.

Right off this main road about five miles from Manhattan, 2,700 people live in the borough of Moonachie

Moonachie is in the Hackensack River watershed and residents are accustomed to the occasional flood

But lifelong residents say they've never seen anything like what happened Monday night

Along with Apple's iPad Mini, another gadget made its debut today—the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro.

It's safe to say this updated laptop model flew below the radar because of the huge popularity of Apple's new miniature tablet.

Too bad, because Apple's 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro is a thing of beauty. The machine is designed well and it's ridiculously light too, when compared to the regular 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Look for our review of the smaller Retina laptop next week, but in the meantime take a look at the newest addition to Apple's portable laptop family.

Apple's 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro comes in a box like the iPad, instead of opening like a briefcase as with older models. You simply pull the top off.

The Retina looks crazy thin on the box, but wait until you see it in person.

There it is! From the top it doesn't look much different from the thicker, MacBook Pro.

Even celebrities who are past their prime make a ton of money. 

Speaking engagements, private performances or simple appearances can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

Celebrity Talent International is an agency that represents huge stars like Adele, Elton John and Angelina Jolie, booking appearances for these stars and hundreds more. 

Many of the appearance fees are listed on CTI's website and are shockingly high. 

Decades after 90210 made her famous, Shannen Dougherty is still making a ton of money. Same for former musician/reality stars like Clay Aiken and Bret Michaels. 

And you won't believe what the former Mr. Britney Spears makes. 

Shannen Doherty makes more than $100,000 per appearance.

Dougherty's peak was about 20 years ago when she starred as mean girl Brenda on "Beverly Hills 90210." She's had a few gigs since, but nothing notable in the past couple years. 

Roseanne Barr still rakes in $100,000 per appearance.

Roseanne is famous for her sitcom that ran from 1988 through 1997. Since then, her career has dried up. Her Lifetime reality show "Roseanne's Nuts" was cancelled after one season. 

Clay Aiken charges between $100,000 and $150,000 per speaking gig.

Aiken was the runner-up on "American Idol" in 2003. Since then, he's had a few songs on the radio. But he still has a lucrative speaking career.
