FILL IT UP WITH AIR?
Monday 08-11-2008 3:54pm ET
 You've heard of hybrids, electric cars and vehicles that can run on vegetable oil. But of all the contenders in the quest to produce the ultimate fuel-efficient car, this could be the first one to let you say, "Fill it up with air." That's the idea behind the compressed air car, a vehicle its backers say could achieve a fuel economy of 106 miles per gallon. Plenty of skepticism exists, but with many Americans trying to escape sticker shock at the gas pump, the concept is generating buzz. The technology has been the focus of MDI, a European company founded in 1991 by a French inventor and former race car engineer. New York-based Zero Pollution Motors is the first firm to obtain a license from MDI to produce the cars in the United States, pledging to deliver the first models in 2010 at a price tag of less than $18,000. The concept is similar to how a locomotive works, except that compressed air -- not steam -- moves the engine's pistons, said Shiva Vencat, vice president of MDI and CEO of Zero Pollution Motors. The six-seater planned for the U.S. market would be able to reach speeds of more than 90 mph and have a range of more than 800 miles thanks to a dual energy engine, Vencat said.

A couple of the Top 10 Most Overpaid Jobs in America
8) West Coast longshoremen
In early 2002, West Coast ports shut down as the longshoremen's union
fought to preserve generous health-care benefits that would make most
Americans drool. The union didn't demand much in wage hikes for good
reason: Its members already were making a boatload of money.
Next year, West Coast
dockworkers will earn an average of $112,000 for handling cargo,
according to the Pacific Maritime Association, their employer. Office
clerks who log shipping records into computers will earn $136,000. And
unionized foremen who oversee the rank-and-file will pull down an
average $177,000.
Unlike their East Coast
union brethren who compete with non-union ports in the South and Gulf
of Mexico, the West Coast stevedores have an ironfisted lock on Pacific
ports. Given their rare monopoly, they can disrupt U.S. commerce -- as
they did during the FDR years -- and command exorbitant wages, even
though their work is more automated and less hazardous than in the days
of "On the Waterfront."
7) Skycaps at major airports
Many of the uniformed baggage handlers who check in luggage at curbside
at the busiest metro airports pull in $70,000 to $100,000 a year --
most of it in cash.
On top of their
salaries, peak earners can take in $300 or more a day in tips. Sound
implausible? That amounts to a $2 tip from 18 travelers an hour on
average. Many tip more than that.
While most skycaps are
cordial, a good many treat customers with blank indifference, knowing
harried travelers don't want to brave counter check-ins, especially in
the post 9/11 age. FULL STORYMAKE YOUR OWN KALEIDOSCOPE

You can call me by my first name, Scott. But, that would make you one of about 4 people on Earth who do that; my mom, my boss, my shrink and...you. It's not that I don't like my first name. It's just that it's usually used in conjunction with me having done something wrong, or a major split in my Id.
