...FLOATING BRANCH It's hard not to escape into childhood fantasies of Wind in the Willows-style tree-trunk homes or hobbit odysseys when you're sitting beneath one of Jessica Bodner's creations. For this one, she drew inspiration from her obsessive gardening hobby to sculpt a branch light in forged steel (from $3,600). www.bodnerchandeliers.com...
...good news is that there may be no country in the world better prepared than Denmark to play host to a climate summit that could - just maybe - decide the fate of the world.

The homegrown wind company Vestas is a world leader earning $8 billion...

"Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line," he sings. In Macau, too many...
...George W. Bush, by contrast, campaigned on a story fully intended to appeal as much to the heart as the brain. In the Republican tale, Bush was a strong leader ready to take on a dangerous world, while Kerry was a "flip-flopper" who held his finger to the wind. Or as Carville crudely put it, Bush effectively told the country, "I'm going to protect you from terrorists in Tehran and the homos in Hollywood...
