...agreement - think of it as a financial trade - the U.S. would buy an option to require China to lower its emissions below a certain agreed level. At the same time, Beijing would take out what amounts to an insurance policy to establish a minimum amount that Washington would pay Beijing if or when the U.S. exercised its option. The cost of Beijing's insurance policy and the cost to the U.S. of exercising its option on China's emissions levels would be set at roughly the same price...
...Part of the challenge of implementing pro-breastfeeding legislation, in the developing world, has been the amount of resources and the determination needed to see the process through. In August this year Vietnam's Health Ministry announced the discovery of dozens of violations of the country's formula labeling rules.

That is the beauty of Ardi - good bones. The completeness of Ardi's remains, as well as the more than 150,000 plant and animal fossils collected from surrounding sediments of the same time period, has generated an unprecedented amount of intelligence about one of our earliest potential forebears. The skeleton allows scientists to compare Ardipithecus directly with Lucy's genus, Australopithecus, its probable descendant. Perhaps most important, Ardi provides clues to what the last common ancestor shared by humans and chimps might have looked like before their lineages diverged about 7 million years ago.

...Jezerine, about 15 minutes by car outside the town of Kolasin, itself an hour and a half's drive up the stunning Moraca Canyon from the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica. Although the range's highest peak, Crna Glava (Black Head), is only 7,018 ft. (2,139 m), the amount of snowfall and variety of terrain in Jezerine will surprise you. While relatively small compared to many European resorts - there are only five lifts, although a high-speed quad is being built - Jezerine's tree-skiing, powder and lack of crowds make it truly exceptional. In March, under blue skies...
...about to shift that equation. Under legislation approved by the Senate last week and by the House on Wednesday, Pakistan can expect to receive $1.5 billion of non-military (or civilian) aid for each of the next five years, which triples previous levels and will roughly balance out the amount of military aid the U.S. gives to Pakistan...
