That's the conclusion of a recent report in the online journal Science Express. Oceanographer Kenneth Smith Jr., of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, Calif., led a team of scientists that studied two bergs, one about 1.25 miles (2 km) long and the other closer to 13 miles (21 km), in the Weddell Sea, which lies between the Antarctic continent and the southern Atlantic, near the tip of Argentina...
Meanwhile, fewer boys than girls take the SAT. Fewer boys than girls apply to college. Fewer boys than girls, in annual surveys of college freshmen, express a passion for learning.

"In the record industry, you can barely hear yourself think for the sound of the business being dismantled and the paradigms being broken," says Conor McNicholas, editor of music weekly the New Musical Express. Those who can't keep up are flailing - last month, HMV reported its annual profits have more than halved - or already fallen: last year, retail giant Tower Record sclosed its stores and in June the U.K. music chain Fopp shut up shop. Meanwhile, record labels are looking for solutions...
