...millions of tons of agricultural waste, mostly fertilizer, run off the fields and feedlots of the American heartland into the many tributaries of the Mississippi River. The nutrients end up in the Gulf of Mexico, where they trigger a massive algae bloom, which in turn depletes nearly all the oxygen in the water.

"We have plenty of resources so we have plenty of time to sort this out," said NASA?s Mike Suffredini, a manager of the space station program...
...Bolivia - the first time in history that Brazil lost in a World Cup qualifying round; and in 2000 it happened again. This year, Brazilian club team Flamengo lost to Bolivia's Real Potosi in a match played at 12,000 feet, with a number of Flamengo players needing oxygen treatment to recover after the game.
