Front page of the Wall Street Journal, sailors are now navigating through the risky Northwest Passage. Evidentally, it has thawed so it is now not so treacherous.

Todays Energy Tip of the Day is simple. Shut it off. Before you roll your eyes or go to a more intelligent blog, understand that todays games and toys use a ton of energy.
