Over 500 rescue personnel, two planes, three helicopters, 25 ambulances and 97 other vehicles continue to carry out the search and rescue work.
Twenty workers have either been rescued or escaped on their own from the flooded coalmine, but hopes are fading for the remaining 18 trapped underground.
Water levels inside the mine keep rising and rescue crews had made no contact with the trapped workers.
Initial media reports said the collapse occurred after water that had built up inside the mine coursed into areas where the workers had been located.
A scathing official report into the Soma mining disaster in Turkey has revealed a catalogue of negligent practices and a complete disregard for worker safety.
Mining accidents are common in Turkey, where poor safety conditions have cost 3,000 lives since 1941.
Turkey has seen steady growth in gold production over the last decade or so. It is now host to 7 commercial-scale mines.
Turkish gold miner Koza Altın has established a wholly owned subsidiary in Britain to undertake mining activities abroad.
Vancouver junior's stock pops after discovering new copper-gold porphyry in Turkey, bringing gains this year to 74%.
At least 36 people were arrested over the weekend in connection Turkey's worst-ever mining disaster.
Attempts to rescue trapped miners after a fire in a Turkish mine continue Thursday morning after a break of four hours. So far there are at least 282 people dead and 142 remain unaccounted for.
Fire is still blazing inside the mine, 18 hours after the blast, and hundreds remain trapped underground.
The accident was triggered by an explosion in a power distribution unit, which caused the mine's elevator to stop working.
Drop attributed to higher gold price, end of gas-for-gold deal with Iran.
The company's Perama Hill project still needs approval to begin construction, while its larger Skouries project keeps facing opposition.
Import levels questioned as government faces political scandal over trade deal with Iran.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has a few reasons to smile.
Zonguldak – Turkey's coal capital – has a grim history of coal mining accidents.
Silver-rich zone identified returning grades of up to 383 g/t Ag + 1.5 g/t Au and 234 g/t Ag + 1.7 g/t Au.
"We are extremely pleased"
Turkish mining sector reform continues to bear certain fruits.
The Turkey-Iran gold-for-gas exchange can be considered dead as tighter US sanctions imposed on Tehran have already stopped Turkish Halkbank from processing other countries' energy payments to the OPEC oil producer.
Oksut gold project went through the million-ounce mark in February last year.
The Vancouver-based miner posted its 2012 results Wednesday.
Turkish gold exports rose to $12.7bn in the first eleven months of 2012 compared to the $1.47bn exported in the whole of the previous year.
London-based explorer Stratex (LON:STI) got an early Christmas present this year, as Canadian Centerra Gold (TSX:CG) paid the junior and partner in the Turkey's Oksut project a noteworthy $40 million for its 30% stake in the venture.

A modern hotel, convenient for the eastern part of the Blue Mountains. Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and a reasonable gym is on the premises. Off the road, so quiet (especially at the back). The eating arrangements are odd, though, as all hotel guests have to join (free) an adjacent Football Club, in order to use their restaurants.Review by: Peter Addiscott

Breakfast very disappointing. Too expensive plus the waiting time whilst we were there they ran out of eggs, bacon, tomatoes there was no white bread and one poor woman was doing her best to keep the whole place going. When we finally sat down to enjoy our breakfast it was cold from having to wait for the different dishes. The kitchen seemed totally unorganised.Review by: Anonymous

The demo was fun. But how many races will be avalaible ? I hope it's lot more than 3.
You're right, it's a huge disappointment.
For God, King and Country - A MARCH OF THE EAGLES AAR
"That there is one damn fine coat you're wearin'." x2 - Marv, Sin City.
Whilst there are only a few races, they are very different. Unlike a certain other hex based game which this keeps getting likened to where there's loads of different races but they're all identical apart from one or two units which makes having more than one race completely pointless!
I'm unfortunately not personally familiar enough with the Majesty universe to know what races you could accommodate as complete playable races in a game. Dwarves and Elves would seem the obvious suggestions though. Perhaps in a DLC one day? I'm not a fan of DLC but I love this game and the race differences are major enough that such a DLC would be a worthwhile investment I expect.
I just downloaded the demo, it works fine, but fan on my GPU goes insane after several minutes of play. I have Geforce GTX 275 and I believe it should be more than enough to play this game. I have never experienced it being so loud, even when playing really GPU-intense games. Is there something I could do about that? Judging by what I read about Warlock it is going to be awesome, but I wanted to check demo before ordering - however, I don't want to play with GPU fan being louder than my speakers
I agree, I would love to see more races added as DLC or an expansion. I do like all the special units though and there is a real wide variety of monsters, neutrals, and special units you can recruit. I just built an improvement that allowed me to recruit Minotaurs which I thought was fantastic.
Demo is awesome. I have played it easily over 20 hours. I am really looking forward to the full game.
If anyone wants some minor input, have a SENTRY option so that when you put some units on defend, they stay in defend. In the demo, you have to keep going around and clicking them all.
Wonderful job.
The demo runs but after a while starts to lag on HD 3000 (Asus N82J). Drivers are updated, settings are minimum.

Intel HD 3000 is the on chip (i5).
Your issue maybe be Temp or RAM related. Temps can cause CPU do trottle down and similar effects.
How much RAM do you have?

Overall very impressed with the demo. Much more satisfying to develop cities than in Civ V, more polished and interesting gameplay than in Fall from Heaven with magic that really feels powerful, seemingly strong AI (coordinated attacks and retreats are impressive). At first I had the impression there were few units, but then I used the "show all buildings" checkbox in each city, and realized there are a *lot* of units in this game... and that includes flying ships !
I agree this game blows Civ 5 away in the fun department. I am practically addicted it Warlock.
I found a few more hotkeys. H turns hex on and off, F12 takes a screenshot. F9 loads the current game.

Great game guys, judging by the demo this will eat up my time for months to come.
Pre-ordered, giving the demo another go.

Living Near Power Lines: Is it Dangerous to Your Health?Published 8/28/09 (Modified 6/17/11)
By MoneyBlueBook
The Internet is quite a mixed bag of information - a wild, wild west cornucopia of unfiltered and unadulterated questions and answers. Among the nuggets of knowledge, there's an endless supply of trashy material and unsubstantiated half truths. For every debatable issue imaginable, there are legions of supporters and oppositions on both sides of the divide. Search engines like Google and Bing do nothing to segregate the legitimate articles from the biased quackery and it's often up to the readers themselves to differentiate fact from fiction. Such is the case with a very contentious and controversial issue of mine that's literally hitting close to home - the issue of living next to power lines and whether they have any negative impact on one's health.
From the various articles available online, you'll frequently read comments and posts from individuals claiming that their personal cancers and miscarriages were the direct results of living too close to nearby power lines. Though when subjected to scientific scrutiny, this does not necessarily indicate a definitive connection between the two, it's easy to see how the passionate and emotional voices could come to such conclusions. In my case, both of my parents are survivors of lymphoma cancer. Both of them successfully completed their chemotherapy treatments and both were able to cure themselves of the cancers that plagued their bodies for months. However, as far as I know - they and I have never lived in close proximity to power lines of any sort. However, if we hypothetically had, I'm sure I wouldRead the full article »

Helps you create professional-looking panoramas
From Hugin's main window you can take advantage of the built-in assistant to quickly and easily load the source images, select the appropriate lens type, provide the horizontal filed of view or the focal length and crop factor for your pictures.
From Hugin's Assistant tab you also have the option to manually align the loaded pictures via the built-in Panorama Editor. Thus, you can provide control points, create masks, crop the source images and change the projection type along with the field of view settings, canvas size, crop values and output settings.

By accessing the Preview tab, you can have an overview of the generated panorama, hide or display certain images, change the blend mode, zoom in or out and change the background color. Thanks to the Layout tab, you can change the order of the photos, check the alignment quality and view all control points.
The Projection tab helps you change the size of the filed of view, and experiment with different view settings until the desired result is achieved. On top of that, you can overlap different guides such as "Rule of thirds", "Golden ratio", or "Golden triangle" in order to help you compose your image.
Batch process multiple projects and fine tune your panoramas

CEVA Logistics' profit rose 24.6 percent to $115 million from the same period a year ago, as increased freight management business offset softening freight volumes.
Gross revenue fell 1.8 percent to $2.5 billion within the same period, largely because of fluctuating exchange rates. Revenue increased 6.8 percent and profit grew 34.2 percent when excluding currency changes.
Compared with the first quarter, the Netherlands-based logistics operator's profit rose by $13 million and its revenue grew by about $800,000.
"Our new business performance in the period has been excellent with significant wins and contract extensions," said CEO John Pattullo.
He said the company gained $1.4 billion in business in the first half of the year.
CEVA's profit grew 29.9 percent to $217 million in the first half of the year, compared to the same period a year ago. Its revenue grew 5.2 percent to $4.9 billion within the same period.
The company increased its freight management business 17 percent year-over-year, with new business contracts in all regions and particularly in the technology, automotive and energy sectors. CEVA said its contract logistics business grew 9 percent at constant exchange rates within the same period.

The most dangerous enemy to Israels security is the intellectual inertia of those who are responsible for security.David Ben Gurion
When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.William Blake
In a modern war, fought with modern weapons and on the modern scale, neither side can limit to the enemy the damage that it does. These wars damage the world. We know enough by now to know that you cannot damage a part of the world without damaging all of it. Modern war has not only made it impossible to kill combatants without killing noncombatants, it has made it impossible to damage your enemy without damaging yourself.Wendell Berry
We cannot hope to be secure when our government has declared, by its readiness "to act alone," its willingness to be everybody's enemy.Wendell Berry
Prejudices, strong prejudices, are visions about the way things are. They are divinations of the order of the whole of things, and hence the road to a knowledge of that whole is by way of erroneous opinions about it. Error is indeed our enemy, but it alone points to the truth and therefore deserves our respectful treatment.Allan David Bloom
France is invaded; I am leaving to take command of my troops, and, with God's help and their valor, I hope soon to drive the enemy beyond the frontier.Napoleon Bonaparte
Do not compare your material forces with those of the enemy. Spirit cannot be compared with matter. You are human beings, they are beasts. You are free, they are slaves. Fight, and you shall win. For God grants victory to perseverance.Simn Jos Antonio de la Santsima Trinidad Bolvar y

Remember this central truth. Your enemy is there because he, too, has weighed the consequences of failure and accepts them. Play always to win, because nothing else mattersAlice Borchardt
Right or wrong, what I also saw was that you made an enemy, and left him alive behind you. Great charity. Bad tactics.Lois McMaster Bujold
The world was sick, and the ills from which it was suffering were mainly due to the perversion of man, his inability to live at peace with himself. The microbe was no longer the main enemy; science was sufficiently advanced to be able to cope with it admirably. If it were not for such barriers as superstition, ignorance, religious intolerance, misery and poverty.Dr. George Brock Chisholm CC
One scarcely knows if he would be of more use to us as a hostage, or set loose to be a very bad enemy leader.Lois McMaster Bujold
Forgive me this digression that I stand Entranced awhile at Law's first beam, outbreak O' the business, when the Count's good angel bade "Put up thy sword, born enemy to the ear, "And let Law listen to thy difference!" And Law does listen and compose the strife, Settle the suit, how wisely and how well! On our Pompilia, faultless to a fault, Law bends a brow maternally severe, Implies the worth of perfect chastity, By fancying the flaw she cannot find.Robert Browning
But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world, yet is every man his greatest enemy, and as it were, his own executioner.Sir Thomas Browne

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Lynnwood husband sentenced to 18 years for strangling wife in 2006
Martin "David" Pietz was sentenced to a little more than 18 years in prison on Thursday for strangling his wife in January 2006. Nearly eight years after Nicole Pietz was killed, emotions are "still raw" for her family and friends.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Judge Michael Hayden says he has presided over too many second-degree-murder cases to count — but none as up close and personal as the strangling death of Nicole Pietz at the hands of her husband in January 2006.
"You were able to look into her face as you did it," he told Martin "David" Pietz Thursday before handing him the stiffest prison sentence he could under state law: a little more than 18 years for a man who took pains to cover up the killing and evaded criminal charges for more than six years.
Noting that most second-degree-murder cases are a result of momentary anger that ends with a fatal blow or gunshot, Hayden said it took several minutes, not seconds, for Nicole "Nici" Pietz to die.
"I cannot conceive of her thoughts at that moment," the King County Superior Court judge said. "This is the first case I've tried where it was so close, so personal and lasted so long."
Before a packed courtroom that included some of the jurors who convicted Pietz on Oct. 14 after a monthlong trial, Hayden also chastised the 36-year-old for spiking his wife's drink with Ecstasy at a Seattle nightclub sometime before her death.
"Without her knowledge, you placed an illegal substance in her drink ... to induce her to perform a public sex act on you," the judge said.
While Pietz's many affairs during his marriage didn't amount to criminal conduct, Hayden — noting that Nicole Pietz had struggled with drug addiction before becoming sober — said he considered the Ecstasy incident to be a crime.
"At the very least, I regard it as an act of domestic violence against your wife," and at worst, second-degree rape, he said. "You don't spike an addict's drink ... You did it for your own sexual satisfaction."
Pietz declined to make a statement before he was sentenced.
A number of Nicole Pietz's friends and family members addressed the court, expressing anger and anguish over her death and the years it took to bring her husband to justice.
After Nicole was killed early on Jan. 28, 2006, inside the couple's Lynnwood condo, Pietz intentionally misled her family into thinking she had relapsed into drug addiction and had simply disappeared. Her naked body was found about a week later in a wooded area in Burien, but Pietz wasn't arrested and charged in connection with her death until March 2012.
Nicole's mother, Gael Schneider, spoke of going to Pietz's workplaces over the intervening years because it was the only way she could force him to speak with her after he cut contact with her family. Her husband, Rod Schneider, said his wife diligently called the case detectives on the 28th of every month for six years to make sure her daughter's death wasn't forgotten.
"I let David take my life for the last 7½ years, but I forgive you. I'm not going to let you take my life anymore," Gael Schneider said. "David, I forgive you. I hope some day your family can because you didn't just destroy my family but your own."
Pietz, who remained stoic through most of the hearing, seemed to react only when his mother, Sandy, stepped forward to speak. She described her son as loving, outgoing and hardworking, and said he'd been involved in sports and student government and had been a youth leader in his church.
"I love my son with all my heart," she said, saying her family continues to love and support Pietz.
His father, Martin Pietz, added: "This entire situation has been a horrible shock to us."
Hayden said he wished he could provide closure to Nicole Pietz's family and friends but acknowledged "that's really beyond my powers as a judge to do."
"The sorrow and anger I feel is palpable in this courtroom. It's still raw" nearly eight years after Nicole Pietz's slaying, he said.

You heard it here first: Three-year-old Jimmy O'Connor does not have horns growing out of his head.
Yes, he was a shaken baby. Yes, he was a foster child. And yes, he was bounced around to several foster homes, and even had an adoption fall through.
But this precocious, brown-eyed preschooler is the pride and joy of Jim and Sandy O'Connor, and on Saturday he officially becomes their son.
The Chandler couple will join 118 other families in publicly adopting 144 children at the Maricopa County Juvenile Court Durango Facility in Phoenix during the sixth annual National Adoption Day celebration.
This event gives the public a peek at what usually is a closed-door process, while dispelling myths about foster children. It has inspired some families to take the plunge themselves.
"It breaks down that barrier that foster kids are different, ugly, dumb or tainted," said attorney Kathryn Pidgeon, who helps organize the event. "When you see these little faces, and then you see the love and the emotion. I think that's really what many of these families need to have the courage to go forward."
As with most couples, the O'Connors entered into adoption with some trepidation. State child welfare officials told them about Jimmy in February, within weeks of their becoming certified to adopt. They heard a litany of problems and prepared for the worst.
"When you get there you think, 'OK, what kind of monster are they going to give us?' Then, they show us this cute little kid," Jim O'Connor said.
A few weeks later, the child — and reality — set in. Over the past eight months, through temper tantrums and potty training, Jimmy has made tremendous strides and is developmentally on track with his peers.
He loves books and Spider-Man, eats just about anything and gets invited to birthday parties.
"He's a really neat kid," O'Connor said.
If all goes well, the family may be back next year with a new daughter.
Nearly 1,800 Arizona children were available legally for adoption as of March 31, according to the state Department of Economic Security, which oversees foster care and adoption. About 70 percent will be adopted by relatives or foster parents.
Kevin and Debbie Smith will be adopting four children on Saturday, three siblings from Russia and 21-month-old Jessica from China. Actually, the Russian children are being readopted so they can have U.S. birth certificates.
Though the Smiths already had three biological children, and had long ago planned to adopt a girl from China, they only intended to host the Russian siblings during a 10-day stay two years ago.
"But when they got off the airplane, it was such an emotionally overwhelming thing to look at these gorgeous kids and think, 'They have no one.' " Debbie Smith said. "I just knew in my heart we were the right family for them."
The three biological kids agreed to the adoption, but at the beginning combining the two sets of bonded siblings "felt a little like us versus them," Smith said.
Eventually her youngest boy, then 6, "kind of crossed party lines" to play with the youngest Russian sibling, then 11, and within months the barriers had broken down.
"Pretty soon, they're all playing Nintendo," she said. "They all seem to speak Nintendo."
National Adoption Day
When: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Maricopa County Juvenile Court Durango Facility , 3131 W. Durango St.

Woman injured after being knocked off overpass
A 20-year-old Iowa woman has been injured in a fall after she was knocked off an overpass near Waterloo.
Authorities say Ellayna Wiedow, of Spirit Lake, was taken to Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo after the crash, which occurred around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Wiedow lost control of her vehicle, which struck a railing and stopped just east of the Cedar River on eastbound Interstate 380 in southwest Evansdale.
Authorities say she got out to survey the damage and was knocked over the railing onto the ground about 25 feet below when another vehicle struck her car.

Reusable packaging companies have been around for while, but with more and more companies concerned about climate change, reusable packaging appeal is growing throughout the U.S. Reusable plastic containers are now used at companies like Pepsi, Walmart, Safeway, Ghirardelli Chocolates and John Deere to protect and transport everything from tractors to fresh vegetables with great success.
The 2008 "Choose Reusables!" Education Forum sponsored by Reusable Packaging Association (RPA) and StopWaste.org highlighted these success stories this past week. The forum covered many aspects of reusables such as the EPA's support of reusables, a life cycle analysis of boxes vs. plastic containers, and the challenges encountered by customers implementing reusable packaging.

How Green Is Your College?
Last week, the Sustainable Endowments Institute released its 2009 Green Report Card. As GreenBiz reports, it compiles the green and not-so-green aspects of 300 colleges and universities through the United States and Canada. The Report Card was designed to identify those schools that are leading by example through their commitment to sustainability initiatives on campus.
Schools were graded across categories including administration engagement, green building, food and recycling programs, transportation, and climate change policy. While no school earned an outright 4.0, there were many with A- grades that received the distinction of Campus Sustainability Leader by excelling in at least three of the categories listed above.
Incentive Schemes For Cycling To Work Or College
New employer? New college? As you commit to new things in your life it's worth finding out if your new place has an incentive scheme in place encouraging you to cycle in. More and more companies and universities are offering deals.
Ripon College in Wisconsin offers freshmen a brand-new Trek 820 mountain bike plus accessories (including a hyper expensive lock) for free if they won't bring their car to college. Students who signed up for the deal, a phenomenal 60% of all freshmen this year, did so because they saved on petrol and they help save the environment. That's besides getting the free wheels of course. The college itself wants to reduce its carbon footprint, save on parking spaces and encourage healthy lifestyles.
Wave of Policies to Increase Demand for Green Building
Thousands of home-owners and business-owners swarmed the convention center floor at West Coast Green this past weekend, fawning over the energy-efficient windows, lighting, textiles, and home performance specialists that would help them save money through energy efficiency in their homes, offices, and warehouses. The vendors there knew that they were not just delivering a trendy product or service. They were positioning themselves at the forefront of a fundamental market shift that is being created by a wave of green building policies soon to be sweeping the nation.
I sat down with Michelle Moore, Vice President of Policy at the U.S. Green Building Council, to discuss the policies that will create an increasingly large market for green building products and services. In the past few years, substantial legislation has been introduced at the federal, state, and local levels to support green building practices.
Up Close and Personal with Green Cars
Last Friday, Triple Pundit was invited to attend a unique event in the green car field. Consumer Reports brought together major automakers, entrepreneurial companies, and other electric vehicle innovators to display their latest clean technology vehicles to both print and online journalists. I had the opportunity to test some of these future cars on the Consumer Reports test track in Connecticut, including two fuel cell vehicles – the Chevy Equinox and the Honda FCX Clarity. We also engaged in a two-hour q&a discussion with automakers to discuss feasibility, projections, and tech specifics of the vehicles on hand. My favorite part of the event, however, was the opportunity to discuss the emergence of the Myers Motors NmG, a personal electric vehicle that is a resurrection of Lee Iacocca's Sparrow.Click to continue reading »
Sustainable Agriculture in practice: Reconnecting the dots along our food chain
Looking to restore a healthier, more sustainable balance and a stronger, more direct connection between agriculture, society, economics and environmental conservation, George Whitten and Julie Sullivan are among the growing number of ranchers and farmers striving to work out and put into practice their own custom tailored brand of sustainable agriculture.
A husband and wife team, Whitten and Sullivan drive, graze and manage a growing herd of grass-fed, organic-certified cattle with a head count that now numbers close to 450 across a nearly 14,500-acre mix of private and public lands high up in Colorado's San Luis Valley.
Motivated by an infectious natural inquisitiveness, a love of nature and an inclination to educate themselves as well as participate in effecting broad, positive, progressive societal change– as well by ecological and economic necessity– Whitten and Sullivan are proponents of their own still evolving formulation of sustainable agricultural principles and practices, one that is rooted in their own long and varied experiences and the influences of a broad and varied range of researcher-practitioners that not only believe that there is a better, more sustainable way to develop and manage agricultural resources, but that doing so has become a socio-economic and environmental imperative.
The Next Bull's Green
Admittedly, it's a bit obscene to talk of a new bull market now that Wall Street is heavily sick and in need of a trillion dollar bailout. But perhaps it makes sense to do it anyway because it's very likely that the next bull's going to be colored brightly green.
Green investing is set to become easier as new markets are emerging and platforms dedicated to the general grey economy's pollution problems begin to take off in earnest. "A whole new multibillion-dollar green economy will rise–and with it the kind of massive financial opportunity that could get not only America but also Wall Street back on its feet", writes to Glenn Hurowitz in a report entitled "The Next Bull Market" in The Nation.
West Coast Green: Former California Governor Jerry Brown and VP Al Gore Remain Optimistic on the Financial Crisis on Wall Street
Even as the US is at the cusp of a $700 bn bailout of Wall Street and stock prices are fluctuating like crazy, both closing keynote speakers former California Governor Jerry Brown and Vice President Al Gore remain optimistic about the state of the US economy.
The danger we are facing is quite grave, but the opportunity is right front of us."
The past thirty years and and rapid climate change reflects the recklessness of the US government and a general disregard for the laws of basic economics. "Everything has a limit–our bodies have a limit, the earth's resources have a limit," Jerry Brown said.
"Ecology and economics are closely tied together"
Vice President Al Gore echoed these sentiments by stating, "We need to stop bailing out the financial crisis and bail in green energy. Green revolution is the solution to the financial crisis."
SubPrime and the Short Term View
Gore pointed to the subprime mortgage, which the finance world assumed that a greater volume of subprime mortgages backed up by securities would handle the risk, and that assumption was wrong.
It is particularly not sustainable for solar companies who have included renewable tax credits in their business plans when government has allowed renewable tax credits to expire at least 17 times. This causes investors to turn over 80% of their portfolios, because they are driven mainly be short-term quarterly earnings.
To be sustainable, businesses have to look at the long term view and recognize the limits of natural resources.
West Coast Green: IDEO's Approach to the Demand Side of Sustainability
Where does innovation take us now that words like green, organic, recyclable, locally-sourced are flying around? Is it enough for businesses to simply cut costs to improve efficiency?
IDEO says it's not enough and companies need to look at how to improve demand for innovative products by looking at individuals to understand their needs better and to tell stories that help consumers understand what it is that they are buying.
Transforming Green Hype into Sustainable Demand
IDEO is a creative design firm headquartered in Palo Alto that looks at opportunities to change products, services, and other offerings. Yesterday, IDEO hosted a workshop called "The Demand Side of Sustainability" to answer questions about how to get consumers attracted to sustainable products. With all the hype around "green" and some companies claiming they are green, more eco-conscious customers are more likely to be dubious about how sustainable a product really is.
Schwarzenegger on Global Warming: "Washington is Asleep at the Wheel"
Click to continue reading »
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took the stage today in San Francisco at a Commonwealth Club event to celebrate the state's success in its global warming fighting leadership. If it wasn't obvious that the bodybuilder-turned-superstar actor-turned-governor wasn't the typical politician, it was as he was received with a standing ovation as a Republican in one of the most progressive cities in the world, during a particularly heated election season.
In his usual self-deprecating style, Schwarzenegger compared cutting the state's carbon footprint to the approach one might take to losing a few pounds through dieting–something the former Mr. Universe and 7-time Mr. Olympia might know a thing about–by stepping on the scale, setting a goal, and making changes in one's lifestyle. The California (pronounced Cal-ee-for-KNEE-a, since Schwarzenegger took office in 2003) legislation that he signed into law 2 years ago commits the state to cutting emissions to 1990 levels, a 25% reduction, by 2020, and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, sidestepping Washington's rejection of Kyoto.
Global Warming and Man on the Moon
While the implementation of such dramatic cuts in carbon emissions is easier talked about than done, Schwarzenegger drew parallels to Kennedy's commitment to transport man to the moon, leading with vision, inspiration, and support, rather than R&D that should have been left to NASA. Kennedy was leading a movement and Arnold has clearly demonstrated his interest in playing a leading role in fighting global warming. He also appealed to the typical Californian who can cut her footprint by 25% immediately by making small changes in her life that add up, such as driving less, washing clothes in cold water, considering solar power, turning lights off, etc.
A Look at Mexico's Fight Against Climate Change
Mexico is emerging as a fascinating climate change case study.
Four years ago, the Mexican government asked companies to voluntarily report their emissions using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The GGP offers a metric for tracking and managing greenhouse gas emissions. Intended for both public and private use, it was developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), in collaboration with businesses, governments, and environmental groups. Mexico became the first country in the developing world to implement the program on a national scale.
The Mexican Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Program focuses on outreach and education, translating materials and hosting workshops that reflect the stated needs of corporations. According to the WBCSD, emissions from participating corporations account for approximately 35% of the industrial emissions in the country.
West Coast Green: Greenwashing and the Business of Branding
At a talk from 1:30 to 3:00 at the San Jose Convention Center, attendees gathered to tap into the power of sustainable branding.
It is both good news and bad news for green building businesses that more people are entering the marketplace. The growth of the sustainable or green building industry leaves many questions for business owners, namely, "How can we differentiate ourselves from one another?" and "How can we distinguish ourselves from the hype and greenwashing?"
Koann Skrzyniarz of Sustainable Life Media has been working towards helping companies to become sustainable since 2004. She and her her colleagues Celia Canfield of Ecovertex and co-chair of Sustainable Brands International Pam Van Orden, spoke to a varied audience to make the distinctions of how good branding works.
Sustainable branding means taking innovation to a whole new level beyond simply telling stories from the ground level up.
New Global Carbon Budget Numbers Show Global Economy Has Accellerated Greenhouse Gas Growth
The new Global Carbon Budget's out. The numbers, compiled by the Australia-based Global Carbon Project, an international consortium of scientists that tracks emissions, show that despite an increase in the international community's efforts to combat pollution, the growth rate of the emissions continued to speed up. The recalculations indicate that atmospheric CO2 concentration was 383 parts per million (ppm) in 2007. That means that our emissions have grown four times faster since 2000 than during the previous decade.
Emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel and land use change reached 10 billion tones of carbon in 2007. Natural CO2 sinks are growing but slower than the atmospheric CO2 growth, which has been increasing at 2 ppm since 2000 or 33% faster than the previous 20 years.
US Companies Export Smart Metering To Ireland
Optimists in the eco debate are often accused of pinning unrealistic hopes on the bet that American companies will create sophisticated technology that's competitive. They believe the green sector will become a vital element in the economy recovery.
Whether or not this is overly confident remains to be seen. Two companies that already are active in international competition for highly sophisticated green tech are involved in a smart metering project in Ireland.
The companies, Redwood City, CA's Trilliant and AclaraTech in Hazelwood (Mo) are competing against French telecommunications firm Sagem and Germany's Elster Group.
Weekly Green Business Wrap-Up
RGGI, the regional greenhouse gas initiative, Holds Its First Mandatory C02 Auction Experts say that the prices for the permits to emit carbon will stay low because too many were given away for free, but 12.5 million permits will be auctioned overall, which is still pretty cool. Europe says "Welcome to my world."
Chocolate Doesn't Need Boxes, and Other Mysteries of "Greening the Supply Chain" Greenbiz has a great discussion of the new trend companies are taking to reduce waste and expense at the same time. They lose points for not even mentioning Ghirardelli in the title, given that the first paragraph is all about the chocolate giant. (The best you could do was "Thinking Outside the (Cardboard) Box"?) Just let the people know about the chocolate, really.
Japan's Landfills Chock Full of Gold, Silver, Platinum US landfills full of bento boxes. Kidding! All those precious metals are inside the electronics that are being discarded by the millions each year. I sense an investment opportunity…
Joel Makower on Video: Developing Your Company's Green StrategyJoel Makower of GreenBiz delivered a great session last week at the Corporate Eco Forum. See the video which asks "how do companies operate in a world in which energy water materials toxicity carbon intensity become barriers to growth?"
US Companies Know Climate Change Will Screw Them, Don't Care 81 percent of U.S. companies expect climate change to negatively affect their business, but they prefer to wait for regulation to spur them to action. I love the head in the sand approach to risk preparedness.
Natural Product Sales Skyrocket Despite Economic Downturn
Growth in the natural personal care industry is five times that of the regular personal care industry. Maybe it's all those sweaty hippie bikers trying to find work now that unemployment rates are up.
Lastly, 3P covered a couple deep sustainable business questions this week: Sustainable Branding: is it all just greenwashing? and the million dollar question: Would you rather have an enviro employee or a competent one? (Yes, that is a gaggle of sustainable MBA students waving their hands frantically at the back of the classroom.)
