Propel Fuels is trying to bring attention to alternative fuels, and in doing so, has opened a "Clean Mobility Center" in Fullerton, CA.
A Clean Mobility Center takes fueling to a new level, Propel said, enabling drivers to offset carbon from their fuel purchases, improve their vehicle's fuel economy, find rideshare opportunities, tune bicycles, and recycle on the go. The Fullerton station offers E85, Flex Fuel and biodiesel blends.
In some locations, Propel stations, which number over 200 in California and Washington State, will sell the renewable fuels alongside conventional fuels. Propel plans to expand its network of Clean Fuel Points (renewable fueling stations co-located with traditional fuel stations) and the new Clean Mobility Centers. A complete list of both current and future stations is located at www.propelfuels.com.
"The facts are apparent; petroleum sales are falling, public transit ridership is up, bike lanes are expanding, and purchases of alternate fuel vehicles are on the rise – we're seeing consumers seek new and better solutions for their transportation needs," said Matt Horton, CEO of Propel. "Propel's Clean Mobility Centers create a true opportunity to address this growing consumer demand and help make progress on our country's most pressing economic and environmental issues."
According to Propel, the new stations will allow drivers to offset carbon emissions from their fuel purchase right from the pump by directly funding clean air projects through Propel's partnership with the Carbonfund.org Foundation in a first-in-the nation program.
"In California's quest to provide affordable options to gasoline and diesel fuel, Propel Fuels stands out as a leader. A lot of people talk about multi-fuel stations, but Propel has set the standard by building one. We are pleased that private investors also see the trend and joined the California Energy Commission as co-investors," said Energy Commissioner Carla Peterman.
Clean Mobility Centers also utilize green design and sustainability practices that promote cleaner transportation in the communities they serve. Starting in Fullerton, each station will have free air stations for tires to increase vehicle mpg, education centers offering information on local public transit and rideshare options, innovative bicycle tuning centers, recycling stations at the pump, and in the near future, natural gas and electric vehicle charging.
"Consumers can now vote with their wallets and choose a fuel company that better aligns with their values and interests," said Horton. "No matter what type of car they drive, consumers can use our new stations and learn about cleaner mobility options along the way."

A picture doesn't speak a thousand rands
Photographers around the world blog the complaint — they are being edged out of their traditional market by happy snappers on social media. The businesses that are still flourishing attribute their success to their ability to adapt to the changes, market themselves well and find fresh opportunities.
For the love of it
Hush Naidoo runs Jade Photography in Johannesburg, specialising in covering corporate events, celebrities, weddings and products. He decided to go it alone 12 years ago. "I spent my first year photographing products — tin after tin of baked beans — for catalogues."
But his old clients sought him out and his business grew. Naidoo says there are still tough months and he does not expect to retire a wealthy man. In fact, he does not expect to retire at all. "I hope to still be taking photos when I am 90," said Naidoo.
He is prepared to work within a client's budget, he said, or offer a relatively low rate to improve the relationship with a potential long-term client. A hefty proportion of his income goes into keeping his equipment up-to-date and insuring it. Professional and hard-working he may be, but Naidoo says he is finding himself edged out of the picture by interns snapping away with company cameras at events these days.
"Not everyone cares about quality when budget is the priority," he said.
Going it alone
Suzanne Gell, once a photographer for a publishing house, launched her own photography business in Pretoria a year ago. It has been a steep learning curve, she said. "Constant marketing is a must, you have to stay abreast of trends, and it helps to create your own niche in the market."
When work comes in, she takes it on — even if it is not the high-paying corporate photography she specialises in. "You've got to be prepared to do the small stuff too. It's humbling, but I'm not too good for anything. The world is highly competitive, whatever the industry. You just have to contribute something unique."
Johannesburg-based Lisa Skinner was also a photographer at a media company before going on her own a year ago. She now has a constant flow of work, much of it documentary photography. What she earns varies significantly, depending on the project. She is relatively confident that with the right skills and marketing, good professional photographers will always have business flowing in. "If you're good enough, your work will stand out."
She believes the higher your price, the more highly regarded you will be. "Charging seriously got me treated better — as if I was more valuable."
There is also the matter of a track record. "Much of the work I get is because I am really easy to get on with. I don't complain, I'm professional and reliable. I've earned my space here and proved I won't get in the way of filming or break confidentiality agreements."
Taking the low risk route
LiveMoments is an operation that specialises in covering sporting events.Managing director Fanus Schoeman said: "People see LiveMoments with all our photographers and banners and think it's easy money. It isn't."
No major moment can be missed, or a potential photo sale will go with it. This means photographers are on their feet all day. "And the photographers must be paid, whether you sell photos or not."
He has learnt that planning is critical. Site visits, coordination with the organisers, and a focus on low-risk events with a risk-sharing model work best. He has also put his 30 years of photography experience into a business manual and now offers personalised training as a more lucrative sideline business. There are many money-making opportunities out there, said Schoeman, but businesses have to evolve and take a low-risk approach.
Schoeman says photography is a tiring and stressful business. The pros are being undercut. But then, many people do not care too much about the quality of their photos.
Building a reputation
Christine Meintjies is a high profile Cape Town-based wedding photographer. "It took me five or six years to build up my reputation. At one stage, I was shooting almost 50 weddings a year but now I've scaled down to only 15 a year. Running your own business in itself is a massive challenge. Starting out and doing everything, then learning to delegate and outsource was a huge challenge for me."
Changing trends
Photographer Darren Smith explains the changing environment: "[Photography] has been hit by the double whammy of the proliferation of digital cameras, and the social era. Because everyone is a 'photographer' now, the value of photographs has changed. 'Why would I pay a professional to take the shot, when I can do it myself?' Access to high quality, lower cost DSLRs also put professional quality equipment into the hands of millions of consumers, further eroding the value proposition of professional photographers. Amateurs simply price their time and resources differently to professionals, and as a consequence, professional rates are being remorselessly undermined."
Everyone's a photographer
Roger Machin, product manager of photo, video and projector products at Canon South Africa, says the company is showing steady local growth in the sale of digital cameras, both compact and SLR.
"Whether you use an SLR or a compact camera, the auto mode provides the general user with the means to produce great results. However, professional photographers consider things such as lighting, exposure and composition. In other words, a point and shoot camera will produce good images to the untrained eye, but professional photographers have a trained eye, which definitely affects quality of the end result." The changing environment impacts more than photographers: "A lot of photographic laboratories/stores have closed down due to the advances in digital photography, good quality home photo printers and growth in e-commerce or online photography sales. "Photographic stores have been forced to diversify by offering digital kiosks or selling accessories such as frames and tripods to ensure sales growth. Some photographic business may be struggling, but the stores that have used market changes to enhance or better their offering seem to be doing well."
Photography business fact file
Earnings widely varied, from R600 a day, up to R50 000 for a wedding.
Biggest motivator passion for photography.
Key success factors marketing, exploiting a niche, building a reputation as "best in business", professionalism, people skills.
Major threats lack of business and marketing skills, attitude, under-charging, competition from amateur photographers and a lack of discernment in the market.

'You're going to kill someone' magistrate tells drink driver
ALTHOUGH driving with a breath/alcohol level of 0.283 was shocking, it was at least a lower reading than the last time Goi Majak was caught drink-driving in Toowoomba.
The 31-year-old Sudanese national was taken to Toowoomba Hospital where a sample of blood was taken for analysis after the car he was driving had run into the rear of another car on Anzac Ave on October 18 last year.
The blood sample eventually came back showing Majak at the time had a blood/alcohol reading of 0.283, Toowoomba Magistrates Court heard.
He pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of liquor.
Looking through his traffic record, Magistrate Bruce Schemioneck noted Majak had been before the same court in November 2009 when he was sentenced for being in charge of a vehicle with a reading of 0.358.
He had also blown 0.242 when pulled over by police in May 2005, the court heard.
"You're going to kill yourself or someone else," Mr Schemioneck berated him.
Majak was sentenced to nine months jail but will be released on parole as of May 13 after having served three months of the term.
He was disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver's licence for two years.

Hearst Castle visitors will soon find dusty buses, dry fountains and an empty pool, thanks to one of the worst droughts in California history.
Springs that supply the state historical monument are running at just one-sixth normal, said Nick Franco, superintendent of the San Luis Obispo Coast District of State Parks. Only 47,000 gallons a day now flow from the springs, which State Parks shares with the Hearst Ranch, down from a normal of 285,000 gallons a day in a normal year.
That means a trio of reservoirs that typically are filled with 2.75 million gallons of water this time of year are only about a third full, not enough to carry the Castle through the summer.Read more here, with video

Dedicated Program Helps Patients Manage Pain and Gain Freedom From Addiction to Prescription Medication
Dedicated Program Helps Patients Manage Pain and Gain Freedom From Addiction to Prescription Medication
HAVRE DE GRACE, MD--(Marketwire - Feb 6, 2013) - Father Martin's Ashley today announced the official introduction of its Pain Recovery Program, an approach uniquely designed for individuals who are dependent on pain medications and/or sedatives due to an injury, disease or condition and who desire to change their dependence on addictive drugs and improve their quality of life.
Ashley, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, created the Pain Recovery Program in response to a growing incidence of patients with addiction to prescription pain medications, including opiates and other addictive drugs. Many of these patients present the special challenge of needing to manage their chronic pain, while gaining freedom from the dependence they've developed to their pain medications. It began treating patients in this new program in October 2012.
Ashley has long recognized the need to help chemically dependent, chronic pain patients gain independence from addictive drugs while managing their pain and therefore, spent years developing its Pain Recovery Program to address the biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs of such patients. As concern continues to mount regarding abuse of prescription pain medications -- including the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent recommendation to tighten controls over popular pain relievers containing the opioid hydrocodone -- Ashley is uniquely positioned to treat those who are dependent on these drugs.
"There's a misperception that someone who has pain needs to be maintained on opiates and other addictive drugs. That's not necessarily true," said Carol Bowman, M.D., a physician board-certified in internal medicine who heads the program. "Ashley is changing the paradigm. There are alternatives, and our Pain Recovery Program offers patients those options right now."
Ashley's program utilizes its current strong medical and clinical care combined with comprehensive pain and addiction education, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pain counseling groups, and holistic and physical therapies.
Patients in Ashley's Pain Recovery Program attend educational workshops led by staff physicians and/or licensed counselors/nurses where they learn the physiological basis of pain, techniques for minimizing pain and the role that pain has played in their emotional and physical health, and that of their loved ones. They also attend daily group therapy and weekly one-on-one counseling.
Dependence on prescription pain medications is the new face of addiction and a growing public health problem, with 13 million Americans reporting non-medical use of such drugs and 9 million addicted to them (more than half to opiates). The fastest growth is among young people (some as young as 12) and members of the military. In addition to lives destroyed or lost, the epidemic costs $365 million in medical treatment and productivity annually.
"The federal government, through agencies such as the FDA and DEA, is working to change regulations to slow the trend, but there is help for people who are addicted today," said Dr. Bowman. "Some legal drugs are as lethal as illegal street drugs. But addiction to them requires a unique approach to treatment."
Ashley's Pain Recovery Program team includes full-time staff physicians, Dr. Carol Bowman, M.D., a physician board-certified in internal medicine and certified in integrative holistic medicine; Dr. Bernadette Solounias, M.D., ASAM, SVP of Treatment Services, Medical Director and board-certified Addiction psychiatrist; Dr. Carol Hooper M.D., board-certified acupuncture physician; Dr. Peter Musser, Ph.D., a licensed, clinical psychologist; and Scott Dehorty LCSW, M.S.W., formerly of the Johns Hopkins Pain Center and the clinician who will lead the Pain Recovery Program counseling groups. The experienced team also includes Charlotte Meck, RN, CARN, director of nursing; Jill Ruroede, RN, BSN, lead pain recovery nurse; and Brandon Kessler, certified personal trainer and pain program fitness coach.
The program's therapies and services include one-on-one and group counseling, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, yoga and meditation, family services, and a host of other specialized services.
The goal of the program is to help pain patients gain freedom from addictive substances, improve their functionality, their quality of life, and learn techniques and lifestyle changes to reduce, eliminate and/or better manage their pain.

Top Ten December Movie Blockbusters

Top Ten December Movie Blockbusters
Any film fan knows that certain times of the year cater to movie lovers. The late spring and summer are usually the times of high-budget films that star the youngest and hottest action heroes. October is the month for horror films, and throughout the latter half of the year, studios release those films they hope will garner the attention of the Academy. December, however, has become a particularly lucrative target for many filmmakers, who release their epic pictures late in the year to take advantage of the holiday season. Some of the films released in December went on to earn substantial amounts of money at the domestic box office.
10. "Night at the Museum"
Released on December 22, 2006, "Night at the Museum" was a Ben Stiller vehicle based on a popular children's book. The night watchman at a history museum discovers that the exhibits come alive at night, leading to utter chaos. The film made a modest $30 million on the opening weekend but went on to gross more than $250 million domestically.
9. "I Am Legend"
Based on the iconic Richard Matheson vampire novel of the same name, Will Smith's blockbuster hit screens on December 14, 2007. After an impressive $77 million opening weekend, "I Am Legend" reached a total of $256 million in domestic receipts.
8. "Meet the Fockers"
The sequel to 2000's "Meet the Parents," "Meet the Fockers" was released on December 22, 2004, to a $46 million opening weekend. The Ben Stiller vehicle had staying power, however, topping out with $279 million at the domestic box office.
7. "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"
The adaptation of the first entry in C.S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" series, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" opened on December 9, 2005, to a $65 million weekend. Overall, the film took $291 million domestically and proved a powerful earner in the international market as well.
6. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is the first entry in director Peter Jackson three-film adaptation of Tolkien's introductory work released on December 14, 2012. With an $84 million opening weekend and a $303 million domestic gross, it underperformed his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy but still maintained a very respectable box-office take.
5. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
December 19, 2001, saw the first entry in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring," which was received with significant acclaim and enthusiasm by audiences. The production had spared very little expense, producing a breathtakingly beautiful interpretation of Tolkien's signature work. The film earned $47 million in its opening weekend and went on to reach $313 million in total domestic receipts.
4. "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"
The following year saw "The Two Towers" hit screens on December 18, and fan enthusiasm for the series had not waned one bit. After a $62 million initial take, the sophomore entry in the trilogy reached $339 million domestically, in part due to the release of an extended edition of the first film on DVD to drive fan interest even higher.
3. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"
Unsurprisingly, Peter Jackson's third "Lord of the Rings" film, "The Return of the King," did even better in theaters as it closed out the tale of the heroes of Middle-earth. Released on December 17, 2003, to a $72 million weekend, the film reached a total of $377 million before leaving domestic theaters.
2. "Titanic"
On December 19, 1997, James Cameron's "Titanic" was released to swooning audiences nationwide. Buoyed by a memorable—and omnipresent—theme song by Celine Dion and a memorable performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, the big-budget blockbuster took in only $28 million on its first weekend. Word of mouth and lots of return business helped keep the movie in theaters for an extended run, ultimately earning more than $600 million in domestic receipts.
1. "Avatar"
It should be unsurprising that the man behind the second greatest December blockbuster also had a hand in the winner. On December 18, 2009, James Cameron's epic sci-fi action movie "Avatar" opened to a $77 million weekend. The tale of alien warfare and moral dilemmas proved very popular with fans, who flocked to the 3-D showings of the film in record numbers. "Avatar" took in an impressive $749 million domestically, making it the top-grossing American film of all time. Avatar also proved a powerful draw for international audiences, topping the international records as well with over $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office.
