- President warns of sequestration's effect on air travel
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that allowing looming sequestration budget cuts to take effect March 1 would impose spending cuts on the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration, which could affect air-travel operations. Airlines for America says federal officials have assured that air travel will remain safe. "In this still difficult economy, with the busy travel season a few months away, the traveling public deserves responsible action from Congress and the administration," said Victoria Day, an A4A spokeswoman.

- De-icing aircraft has come a long way
The process of de-icing aircraft used to be performed by dragging ropes over aircraft to break up the ice. Today, de-icing is accomplished by spraying propylene glycol on the planes to prevent freezing. "Last year we de-iced 12,000 airplanes. This year we're on pace for about 14,000," said Craig Palmer, coordinator of winter operations at United Airlines. WGN-TV (Chicago)

- How to energize employees through responsibility
To keep employees energized through a winter slump, try letting them set their own hours, collaborating online quickly instead of dragging workers through long meetings and giving them the authority to get things done without constant supervision, writes Andrew Wilkinson, founder of MetaLab Design. "At MetaLab we don't care when or how long your lunch is, or whether you have to run to a doctor's appointment – just go do it. We aren't your parents and we aren't going to time your bathroom breaks," he writes. The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (tiered subscription model)
