...Brussels summit did not formally decide anything on the climate change package: the 2020 target still remains a 20% cut in carbon emissions, a 20% boost in renewable energy, and a 20% rise in energy efficiency. But the mood has turned, and officials have backed away from pushing for details on how to achieve the cuts. E.U. governments and the European Parliament still have to agree them by December and turn them into law before next June's European elections...
HONG KONG, CHINA Cash Crunch Not long ago, American businessmen flocked to trade shows in Guangzhou, China, searching for bargains from the country's southern factories.

While the two ear "pillows" - both detachable and adjustable - are intended to block sound, I was glad the package came with real ear plugs. The fleece...
