about "Top Dogs Live On, and On, in Progeny" by Richard Sandomir
There is a male dog who has 61 children as champion show dogs. Mick is a bluish-grey, bearded stud, 12-year-old Kerry blue terrier. He was a champion show dog for long time. Many breeders want to mate their bitches with him so they have even bothered to fly them to Sacramento and book hotel rooms for their special dogs. This great dog’s sperm has been frozen to create more dogs just like him (maybe better) in the future.

City beneath the city
Strukton is planning to turn Amsterdam into a "big cake city." These days, there is a lack of space. Especially in cities, people need more space to live. Everybody wants to live in the center of the city. Strukton planned to solve this problem. Their solution is to use underground space as living space. For example, there will be different underground levels for parking lots, sports centers, theaters, and so on. Plus, the place is connected to the A10 ring road.

article in the NY Times
about "Is Capturing CO2 a Pipe Dream?" by Andrew C. Revkin.
Unbelievable amount of carbon dioxide is being released by United States and China. And President Bush's Futuregen plan for an emissions-free coal fired plant is being delayed. The price got almost twice more expensive than the original $1billion. Environmentalists think the plan will set back construction years "..because all the paperwork and budgets and permits and impact studies will have to be pursued anew."

Jesus Sanchez
Jesus runs a Mexican restaurant, Hacienda de Don Manuel, in Suffern, New York with his brother. They started this business after moving to Suffern from Guadalajara, Mexico around twenty years ago. They started with a hole-in-the-wall place but did so well that about fifteen years later they were able to relocate to a much nicer, bigger and fancier location.
Wilhelm Deffke: Modern Mark Maker - Steven Heller
This article is about Wilhelm Deffke and the modern corporate logos.
Wilhelm Deffke was the person who made "the era's most impressive symbols for commerce and government, not the least of which became the most charged logo of the twentieth century, the Hakenkreuz (the hooked cross or swastika) — prior to its adoption by the Nazis." However, he never thought that the design used as a political symbol. He actually redefined a representation of the acient Germanic sun. The symbol swastika was taken by Nazis and never paid for.
In Deffke's essays — sermons to businessmen on the value of branding — he says,
"These trademarks and factory seals deserve our attention as a means of improving the public taste, and because of their extraordinary economic significance, ...Their value is in the millions and it would be a irreplaceable loss to the national wealth of any country, should they cease to be."
