...news for fish - and for the people who eat them. Much of the world's fish supply is already troubled due to overfishing, dying reefs and the disappearance of marshland, mangrove forests and other coastal environments that serve as breeding grounds and nurseries for many valuable species. Biologists haven't been able to figure out how much oxygen depletion alone contributes to the decline of teetering fisheries - the question is hotly debated in marine-science circles these days - but few experts would disagree that an increase in dead zones can only be a detriment...
What a waste. Haven't U.S. Olympic officials heard about this medal race with China? Every piece of hardware counts, and the U.S. is squandering a chance to cash in. Here's how handball works (and we're not talking about the version of the sport where old guys, often in frighteningly tight shorts, slap a ball against a wall): six athletic men and women run around a court, dribbling a mini-soccer ball every three steps.

Walsh notes one final reason women don't run for office as often as men: they haven't had as many role models. In Galveston, Texas, five-sevenths of the city council is female, and Lyda Ann Thomas is the city's third female mayor. "The first was in the 1970s," she says. "I think the male population was a bit surprised at the fact that a lady was elected mayor, but that opened the door for women. Somebody had to start the trend...
