What's that? Well, let's just say Ana Ivanovic, the French Open champion and new top-ranked women's player in the world, had a slightly tougher ride than most tennis pros. Reared in the war-torn Serbia of the 1990s, Ivanovic has risen from her home country's ashes to become the best in the game, the leader of the unlikely Serbian revolution that includes Jelena Jankovic, the second-ranked woman in the world, and Novak Djokovic, No. 3 on the men's side. At 20, Ivanovic has all the assets of a megastar-in-the-making: looks...
Critics complain that the fence is funneling migrants into a life-threatening desert, and they may be right, because while the area is difficult to reach from the north, on the Mexican side, Highway 2 parallels the border within sight of the U.S. It's tempting to catch a ride out here and start walking. Indeed, so many people have died or approached death in the Sonoran Desert that the CBP has installed radio beacons with flashing lights on them for walkers in distress to summon help.

...past few decades, the entire American environment has become much more obesogenic, or obesity-supporting. Think of the ever increasing supply of fast-food outlets, where meal sizes have ballooned, or the fact that simple physical activity has been largely eliminated from the daily lives of children, who ride in cars where their grandparents might have walked and entertain themselves with an array of sedentary electronic pastimes that didn't even exist a generation ago. It shouldn't be surprising that many overfed, underactive kids lose the battle with their weight. "The environmental factors are much more compelling toward obesity...
