Tokyo-based shipping company NYK Line has done a lot to boost its green credentials: The company docked its first solar-powered cargo ship in Los Angeles this month, recently released a concept design for a ship juiced up with fuel cells, wind, and solar power, and cut its C02 emissions 10.8% last year. But how green can any shipping company really be if it’s transporting coal? NYK’s JP Caretta bulk carrier ship, which set off on its maiden voyage today, will deliver approximately 800,000 tons of coal each year from Australia to thermal power stations in Japan.

This piece was brought to my attention by John Cochrane. ********************* Some Choice Words for the ‘Select Few’ by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship Common Dreams, July 11, 2009 If you want to know what really matters in Washington, don’t go to Capitol Hill for one of those hearings, or pay attention to those staged White House “town meetings.” They’re just for show. What really happens — the serious business of Washington — happens in the shadows, out of sight, off the record.

Why Should People work from home in online business

photo credit: Piez Harvard Business  recently wrote an article regarding the fact that employers are still hiring people who already have jobs rather than all of the hundreds who are out of work fighting to get by and pleading for a job! Most employers are doing this in the mind set that those who do not have jobs were second class performers and that is why the previous employer let them go. This is something that just really irritates myself and many others for so many obvious reasons

One of the 20 annoying habits discussed in my book, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There , is “an excessive need to be me.” What do we mean by “an excessive need to be me?” Each of us has a pile of behaviors that we define as “me.” These are the behaviors, both positive and negative, that we think of as our unalterable essence. While many of these “me” behaviors may be positive (e.g., “I am smart” or “I am hard working”), some may be negative (e.g., “I am a bad listener” or “I am always late”). If we buy into our behavior definition of “me,” which most humans do, we can learn to excuse almost any annoying action by saying, “That’s just the way I am!” Some years ago, I worked with a CEO who was generally regarded as a great leader of people but was seen as lacking in the ability to provide positive recognition

Honda’s just pulled the wraps off its CR-Z car, and announced it’s due to go into mass production with a launch date of February 2010. It’s an interesting competitor to the Prius and the Volt, and looks sweeter than either. Not much is known about the absolute technical specs of the CR-Z, which stands for the very anime-style name Compact Renaissance Zero.
