  8. Invasive snakehead found in river near Annapolis

    A mature, egg-bearing northern snakehead has been discovered by scientists in a river just south of Annapolis, raising the possibility that low salinity in the Chesapeake Bay this year may have allowed the invasive fish to escape from the Potomac River.

  10. Business as usual in the Gulf

    A year ago today, the nation gasped in collective horror at the catastrophic explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, the loss of 11 workers' lives, and the beginning of what would become a months-long gush of some 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Time was when such events spurred a cleansing tide of soul-searching and reform. Not this time. Subsequent reforms have been slight, most gulf drilling continued all along, and new permits are now being issued for more deepwater sites &#8212; even in the face of reports that the supposedly &quot;failsafe" blowout preventers that are the industry's last line of defense against spills are prone to failure. If I had to bet whether we'll have another major spill, I'd put my money down in a heartbeat.

    Sun Staff
    This is the fish that launched a thousand headlines? The northern snakehead doesn't look so scary from its perch above the news clippings and late-night TV top-10 lists at a Crofton skateboard shop. Its once-sharp fangs are mere nubs, its muscular body a...
