Despite Greece's failure to pay its 1.6 billion euro debt to the IMF yesterday, European stocks are on the rise on hopes that a bailout deal goes through. Here's a timeframe for a "Grexit" if it's still in the cards, as well as options for Greece's currency. And Howard Fineman writes of the rise of nationalism in light of the Greek crisis. [NYT]

THE LITTLE FISH RESPONSIBLE FOR HALVING ANEMIA CASES IN CAMBODIA "Although it looks like a souvenir shop tchotchke, the small iron fish is actually a brilliant low-tech solution to prevent the health-destroying consequences of anemia … In Cambodia, a diet of predominantly rice and fish leaves a large percentage of the population with iron deficiencies that can lead to anemia, a global health problem with effects ranging from an inability to focus to premature births and miscarriages.
