...children, he lives alone in Cundle Flat-an hour's ride west of Taree. For Williams, the rides with Bramble's group these past two years have been a weekly highlight. It's the camaraderie, he says, and the joy of riding, in his case atop a BMW 1200 GS. Williams has loaded a digital music player with the bands he loved as a teenager-Thin Lizzy, The Thunderbirds-and drinks in their sounds as he goes. "There hasn't been a ride that hasn't been fantastic." Riding life's highway toward the sunset, Bramble's group is looking...
...Rogers are giving New York City's 13,000 taxis and 20,000 town cars some eco-conscious competition. Last September the longtime friends co-founded OZOcar, the city's first hybrid-car service. Since then their fleet has grown to 75 and includes the Toyota Prius, Lexus GS 450h sedan and Lexus RX 400h and Toyota Highlander SUVs.

Hwang's ultimate motive, he says, is to create a research model for making stem cells that could cure disease in people. "Compared with rodents," he says, dog cells "are more similar to human stem cells." GS&C still wants to capture the Fido-cloning market, though, and company scientists are trying to reduce the inefficiencies. Even if they manage to clone a dog, says Ben Carlson, a company spokesman, it won't be cheap. "We're charging $32,000 for a cat," he says...
...what comes next, GS&C has stored the DNA of several rare or endangered animals in its cryogenic freezers, including two types of antelope. But, as the world was reminded last week, the biggest breakthroughs in cloning are now coming from Asia--not just South Korea but also China and Singapore. Hwang won't say what he's planning, but the next logical step would be to clone a primate.
