...ocean. The goal is not to prove that the iron makes the plankton grow but to determine how much carbon this takes out of the atmosphere and for how long. "When we add iron, we create plankton blooms," says oceanographer Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who led an earlier, smaller iron-seeding test, "but a lot of that just dies and decomposes" at the surface. Only when organic matter snows into the deep does CO2 get locked away. Climos is in the process of raising the $12 million or so it will need to run its experiment...
...simply knocked over Ronaldo & Co. whenever they could - they outfouled the Portuguese 8-3 in the first half. Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari had feared Germany's size, since it's a team that averages 1.849m (6.06 ft.). Yet it wasn't size that put Portugal in the hole, it was the speed of Bastian Schweinsteiger. Playing wide on the right, Schweini made a terrific diagonal run across the field to meet Lukas Podolski's cross at the near post at 22 minutes, with Portugal's Paulo Ferreira unable to match his pace. It was a staggering shot across...
...where any number of German players attack it. For Germany's second goal, it was Miroslav Klose, not the biggest German at a mere 1.82 m tall, but he could have been no taller than a garden gnome and scored as he was completely unmarked, putting Portugal in a hole from which it never recovered. Ronaldo was still to be heard from, but Germany never figured to contain him for an entire game. Sure enough, in the 40th minute he came screaming down the left channel and fired a shot that Jens Lehmann could only parry, and Nuno Gomes...
...shrimp catches falling in the dead zone's wake. The U.S. is not alone in grappling with this aquatic byproduct. As modern, chemically intensive agricultural practices spread around the globe, so does hypoxia; a 2004 U.N. report documents nearly 150 dead zones globally. But none compare to the black hole in the Gulf of Mexico. "This year would be the largest since we've started keeping records," says R. Eugene Turner, a zoologist with LSU who led the modeling effort. "It's definitely getting worse...
...depression, for the most part steers clear of touchy-feely emoting. But to kick off the class, Dubin asks the men to describe the father figure they grew up with and the kind of dad they'd like to be. Some responses are blunt: "My dad was an a__hole, and I'd rather not be one." But nearly all include a desire to attain the virtues of a decidedly modern man: patience, emotional availability, anger-management and communication skills, and open-mindedness...
