The F 600 HyGenius is Mercedes-Benz's futuristic-looking fuel cell-powered vehicle. Using a 115-horsepower electric motor that produces 258 pound-feet of torque at Rev One, a lithium-ion battery pack, a four-kilogram hydrogen tank and a fuel cell capable of a cold start down to -25C, the F 600 boasts an equivalent fuel economy of just 2.6 litres per 100 kilometres and a range of 400 km. It's also quite silent in operation, which cuts the growing noise pollution problem and boasts good off-the-line performance and a comfortably functional interior. Factor in that it produces zero emissions and the F 600 At Circuito Monteblanco, a modern track just outside Seville, Mercedes had everything from the upcoming M 450 Two-Mode BlueHybrid (a technology it shares with BMW, Chrysler and General Mo...

[TOM De Nardi] last week persuaded a city committee to turn down a request from coffee and doughnut behemoth Tim Hortons to build a new restaurant with yet another drive-thru window. De Nardi's motives were pure and simple: he didn't want the lengthy lineups to block an important entrance to his Piazza De Nardi, a popular specialty food and wine boutique on Taylor Avenue at Waverley Street. The city's appeals committee listened to De Nardi's concerns about noise, pollution and traffic snarls, then decided to kill the drive-thru plan. The grocer and wine merchant was gracious about the victory. He said it wasn't really the fault of Tim's; city planners should have seen the problem and dealt with it on their own. It was a brilliant observation on public policy from a man better known for ...

Of course, merely appearing on a list of most-infuriating songs can't compete with two separate incidents in England a few years ago in which women who endlessly played Whitney Houston's take on I Will Always Love You were jailed for the offence. One was charged with "noise pollution. Those aren't the only times maddening music and the law have collided. Government agencies regularly blast certain songs nonstop when they want to torture people or force them out of hiding (from David Koresh's cult to Manuel Noriega). * Wanted: Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi (particularly the line "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all").
The opening night concert, [R. Murray Schafer]'s 75th Birthday, featured three of the iconic composer's (in attendance) orchestral works, plus a world premiere of the WSO's inaugural composer-in-residence (1990-96) and NMF co-founder, Glenn Buhr. The program began with Schafer's North/White (1973), composed as a political statement to protest the changing face -- and burgeoning noise pollution -- of the Canadian North. The powerful theatricality of WSO composer-in-residence Vincent Ho gunning a hulking, onstage snowmobile's engine during the work's climax added potency to Schafer's message, even more relevant in today's much noisier world.
Happiness is defined by Veenhoven (2008) as "the overall appreciation of one 's life-as-a-whole, in short, how much one likes the life one lives" (p. 2, itaUcs in original). Seligman's (2002) work on authentic happiness focuses on an enduring experience of happiness. Sustainable happiness is relevant to essentially every definition of happiness. As a demonstration, consider the momentary pleasure of drinking a cup of coffee. Benefits of attending to and being mindful of the experience have been discussed by Brown and Kasser (2005) and Kabat-Zinn (2005). Viewed through the lens of sustainable happiness, this momentary pleasure can be placed in a wider context. Individuals can attend to whether that cup of coffee is fair trade coffee, which means that workers in the coffee plantation have...

The U.S. economy is crumbling because the way we conduct the activities of daily life is insane relative to our circumstances. We've spent 60 years ramping up a suburban living arrangement that has suddenly entered a state of failure, and all its accessories and furnishings are failing in concert. The far-flung McHouse tracts are becoming both useless and worthless in the face of gasoline prices that will never be cheap again. The strip malls and office 'parks' are following the residential real estate off a cliff. The retail tenants of all those places are hemorrhaging customers who have maxed out every last credit card. The lack of business is now leading to substantial layoffs. The airline industry is dying and will probably cease to exist in its familiar form in 24 months. The truc...
