...Trees are a recurring theme in Rockwell's work, as is every type of glass. (He collects kaleidoscopes.) He has fallen particularly hard for backlit glass, which he uses throughout the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. He likes to use familiar materials in new, more glamorous ways, weaving wood or using topiary hedges as interior walls...
...other 48% with cool new designs, including transparent cards, a glow-in-the-dark card (already recalled) and the new kidney-shaped Discover 2GO card that can be worn on a key chain.

...only the wood-chipping gear that exudes testosterone. Just visit the Waste News booth, where salesman David Martin invites attendees to maneuver a radio-controlled trash truck around a scaled-down city street. "We don't care if people want to knock the kids down," he says. "That's up to them." (He's joking, of course.) The odd part is, all this bluster shares airspace with a kind of quiet confidence--the kind that comes from an industry that's "recession resilient," says Bruce Parker, president of the Environmental Industry Associations, the industry trade group. The trash trade collected...
