Stephanie Reynolds, 24, tends to gloat a bit on Sunday nights because that's when her friends carp about Monday mornings. "They hate me," she says.

As one of 12 members of a strategy group at Roc-A-Fella Enterprises, a diversified hip-hop marketing company, she designs CD covers, creates ads for the Rocawear clothing line and writes marketing plans for the firm's latest films. "They're the brain trust," says CEO Damon Dash, who launched his billion-dollar music, fashion...

...Chinese, who have been farming fish for 2,000 years, pioneered a method in which nothing is wasted. Farmers dig ponds around rice paddies and feed carp in the ponds with weeds from the rice field. The silt from the ponds is used as fertilizer for the fields, and crabs are grown to eat pests. Some of those techniques are being adapted in Western fish farms. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dan Butterfield, 59, raises bass, carp, catfish and other species in the same pond; the sun and the catfish feces stimulate the growth of phytoplankton, which feeds the other species...
