...numbers - first at Haft e-Tir shortly before 5 p.m., and then spreading westward on Kharim Khan Street. Because of the overwhelming security presence - hundreds of Guards and undercover Basij were waiting at Haft e-Tir and other major squares - protesters adopted a relatively new strategy, eschewing their symbolic green to blend in with the after-work crowd, then suddenly chanting slogans like "Death to the dictators" before scattering and re-emerging down the street...
...visit on July 19 to the Indian city of Gurgaon, on the outskirts of New Delhi, was supposed to showcase the way India and the U.S. might work together to slow climate change. On the agenda was a tour of an ultra-energy efficient office building called ITC Green Center, which has earned the highest environmental rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. It was just the sort of project that exemplified how the world's second biggest carbon emitter (the U.S.) and the fourth biggest (India) could cooperate best - on high-tech projects designed to cut greenhouse-gas emissions...
...cross the streets where the crosswalk symbol ticks slowly for red and fast for green. This ticking, the throngs pouring out of the subway exits, the escalators with the looping announcement in Cantonese, then Mandarin, then English—“Please hold the handrail” —combine to create the quintessential Hong Kong commute.

...growth, manufacturers must increasingly look to emerging markets like China and to green fields like 3-D. Industry analysts are excited by the prospects of the new display technology.

"It's a long-term technological trend," he says. (Read "Are 3-D Movies Ready...
...example, when Austin's semiconductor industry started tanking in 2000, ACC quickly stripped down its chip-development courses and soon repurposed clean rooms for emerging green technologies. These days, it generally takes about six months of weekend classes to get qualified to be a solar installer, a job that can pay up to $16 an hour. But starting in August, a compressed weekday program - catering to the recently unemployed - will allow students to cram the same courses into just two months. To earn an associate degree focusing on renewable energy - enough prep for a job as a solar-installation-team...
