Stock Market Weekly: Investment trends in energy markets.
See the Alex Willams Interview by Kent Moors. There's a trace of wishful thinking and (as usual) an agenda here--but it's certainly worth a look. A nice snapshot of trends in both fossil fuels and and non-traditional sources in the shifting Energy Mix. Plus: "The energy market will be driven by demand and China is the new 800-pound gorilla in the room. It is a barometer of demand activities globally." A mention of nuclear, too. And a dash of Methane as a the new multi-colored work-horse of the future.

Duke Undergraduates: Neuroscience on the Brain.
Economic models leave room for questions—they don’t explain the irrationalities we witness in the markets every day. Neuroeconomics, on the other hand, could get there.
--Andrea Mihic, 20, Duke Economics major.
Straight Dope from Home of The Dope Shop. This semester, there are 119 Duke students in the new Neuroscience major. Eleven graduated with Neuroscience degrees last year. For more, see the vigilant, star-breeding, limousine-liberal and 106-year-old student daily called The Chronicle, still Funky after all these years. And still at Flowers Third Floor. Total Coverages.

Can America please resurrect "Bullying" at work? Before it's too late?
Tough Professions, Tough Choices. Either we Get in the Game--or we Get Out. Sounds harsh--but it's 100% true. It's one of the few absolutes for upper-level execs and managers, officers, owners, leaders and professionals.
In our view, most of you--the vast majority--are mailing it in. And you are hurting others. Maybe a career change?
There are lots of satisfying careers where you can't as easily compromise Clients, Customers, Buyers, Patients, Fiduciaries and even your Employer--people who count on you in callings where your work for them really counts.
Lawyering, too, by the way, isn't a dodge. Not for people who work to feel good about themselves for 2 hours a week, i.e., on Friday nights in a bar with other lawyer friends. There has to be more. It's an honor to be a lawyer--and a huge responsibility.
Thank you, Eric L. Mayer and Military Underdog.

Maryam in Marrakesh: The Art of Being Here Now.
Unfortunately, she had to cancel one of her many trips to Cairo this week. So, as usual, she improvises, improves, does what's possible today. And then some. Visit Maryam. Seer, Doer, Worker, Polymath.
