...risks of unabated climate change are frightening: A detailed new study from the University of California, Berkeley, predicts that severe warming could cost California alone up to $50 billion annually, due chiefly to weather damage. "We have to have the foresight to avoid this crash," says David Roland-Holst, a professor of economics at Berkeley and the author of the report.

"We had no tears for disappointment and no tears for happiness," said Swedish captain Erika Holst. Having outscored opponents 46-2, Canada freshened debate about whether women's hockey belongs in the Olympics. The IOC is committed to women's hockey until the 2010 Games in Vancouver.
