...makes me feel good every time I come in here," says Dan Rood, 41, a divorced insurance salesman in Orlando, Fla., as he surveys the vast, room-size closet he created two years ago.

Nadine O'Malley, 36, of Hinsdale, Ill., did not simply organize her life through her closet. She realized her fantasies.

But China's countryside, home to 900 million, has energy woes of its own--low tech, but no less important to the nation's development. Most rural Chinese households depend on coal braziers and open wood-fueled hearths for their cooking. That is why Yunnan province, nestled between Tibet and Burma in the country's southwest, boasts forests that are among the world's most biodiverse--and most imperiled. Consumption of wood for fuel in the area averages about 6 tons per family of four...
...quarter. Roche expects to rake in as much as $925 million from Tamiflu sales this year, up from $266 million in 2004.
