...faith seems well placed. Like its skyline, London's profile as a financial hub is rising. While the U.S.'s mammoth $13 trillion economy provides a bigger market in domestic shares listed on Wall Street's two major exchanges - nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (n.y.s.e.) - Britain's more modest economy (it's the fifth largest in the world) has forced London to transform itself into a more internationally minded financial center to stay competitive. That transformation has become so successful lately that it has led to widespread speculation over whether London or New York City will become...
...provides, but at least we aren't surprised when we wake up with a hangover or when our waists and our inseams swap sizes. The dark network allows us to visit the future, but not just any future.

...Clean tech is gaining traction. In the first half of this year it has attracted $1.4 billion in venture funding, almost twice the amount invested in the first half of 2005, according to the CleanTech Venture Network, an industry-watcher. In May, NASDAQ launched its Clean Edge U.S. Index to follow 47 publicly traded clean-energy stocks. Institutional investors are finally catching on, too. Investment banks, hedge funds and state pension funds like CalPERS (the California Public Employees' Retirement System), which has put $700 million toward renewable energy technologies, have helped make clean energy tech's fastest-growing sector...
