As the Obama girls get ready to move into the White House, their parents must decide how to help them live in the fishbowl of the presidency. One of the few times Barack Obama lost his famous cool during the presidential campaign was the day photographers got too close as he walked his youngest daughter, who was dressed as a corpse bride, to a Halloween party near their Chicago home. "You've got a shot. Leave us alone," Obama barked.

So here's the plan: HP has revealed a master plan of reducing its energy consumption and greenhouse emissions worldwide by 16 percent below its consumption levels in 2005. It expects to do this by 2010. On the renewable front, HP purchased 61.4 kilowatt hours of renewable energy and energy credits in 2007, which was a 350 percent increase over the...
