...Garden created by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot in Sonoma, California in 2004, with rolling hills of nylon carpet behind a fence of fishing line, were temporary installations for festivals. Others are permanent works of odd beauty commissioned by open-minded clients (see Claude Cormier's neon-pink Lipstick Forest for Montreal's Palais des Congrès) or those looking to make a lasting statement - like the fountain memorial to Princess Diana in London's Hyde Park by Kathryn Gustafson and Neil Porter. "Think of them as gardens that tell stories," advises Richardson. "Even if you're not always...
...Ludlow is the good guy in the gaudy police procedural Street Kings. The only one. "You went toe-to-toe with evil and you won," Tom's superior, Capt. Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) tells him proudly. "Gimme a hug."

In 2007 alone, biodiesel's contribution to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions was the equivalent of removing 700,000 passenger vehicles from America's roadways. The U.S. biodiesel industry strongly opposes rain-forest destruction and nonsustainable agricultural practices. It is implementing a major initiative to enhance the overall sustainability of biodiesel production. Biodiesel increases our renewable-energy supply, adds well-paying, green jobs to the economy and reduces carbons and other emissions. I am proud to work in an industry that addresses these critical...
