POPSSolution to global warming: Floating cities The 'Lilypad City' would float around the world as an independent and fully self-sustainable home. With a lake at its centre to collect and purify rainwater, it would be accessed by three separate marinas and feature artificial mountains to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery from the seascape. Power for the central accommodation hub is provided through a series of renewable energy sources including solar panels on the mountain sides, wind turbines and a power station to harness the energy of the waves.

POPSPresident Bush Urges Quick Passage of Wiretapping Bill I'm watchin' on CSPAN the debate on this bill in the House of Reps.

POPSCeltics' Allen Overcomes Issues On And Off Court "There were times when we were trying to figure everything out and what we needed to do and how we needed to proceed. But we always came back to each other as a team, and to finally win this and to prove we're the best team in the NBA this year, everything we went through was definitely worth it, and we know exactly what it takes to be the best." But those on-court frustrations and challenges were nothing compared to the last three days for the 32-year-old veteran who, like Pierce and Garnett, got his first taste of ultimate victory on stage on the parquet of TD Banknorth Garden Tuesday night. "It's not easy, but to be the best you have to give up a lot, and we gave up a lot but we definitely took a lot along the way," Allen said. And with Walker in his arms, that taste of a championship was even sweeter for Ray Allen.
