VoteHour.org, launched by Google, features about two dozen 40-second clips from the likes of eBay CEO John Donahoe, Intel CEO Paul Otellini, Seagate Technology CEO Bill Watkins, and Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse. Executives from other sectors who made videos for the site include Borders CEO George Jones and Cintas CEO Scott Farmer.

Kropper was one of about a dozen mid-career professionals who did a sort of “clean energy boot camp” last year, a fellowship organized by the New England Clean Energy Council specifically for transitioning telecom, IT, or life sciences professionals into green tech.
An energy-related company can be very similar to a software company, but a better comparison is to th
Another new feature is that you can digitally sign documents. In DocQ’s integrated editor you can place multiple signatures within a document, then send it off to one or more recipients. Then, whenever the person (or people) on the other end signs, they can send it back to your DocQ in-box. The folks on the other end don’t need to sign up for the service to use it, since a special log-in is created from the invitation. For now, the signature feature can only work with one user, meaning each p

The arbitrator never ordered that the award be confidential, and Weiss did not agree to keep it confidential, the filing states.
