...Because while people may be learning more about Greenland through global warming's effects on its fragile environment, what's less well known is that a grassroots movement for greater self-rule has been brewing in the Danish territory for the last 30 years. First colonized in 1721 when a Norwegian Danish priest came to what is now the capital city of Nuuk, Greenland remains part of the Danish kingdom. In 1979, its predominantly Inuit population fought for management of domestic affairs, which it was granted, but Copenhagen still handles its foreign relations and supports the island with a whopping...
...continental shelf and, therefore, an extension of the country's coastline - it could mean legal rights to a greater chunk of the sea for Denmark.) "I'm sure that the foreseeable easier access to the North Pole and potential oil in those areas is a tremendous focus of the Danish politicians," says Jakobsen. He says the talks, part of a commission's report that's due out about increasing Greenland's autonomy, are held up because Danish and Greenlandic politicians "can't agree" on who's going to get what from this potential...

On Aug. 10, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper flew to Resolute, a hamlet of 250 souls on Cornwallis Island in the northern territory of Nunavut, and announced plans for an Arctic military training facility and a refurbished deep-water port on the Northwest Passage.

The flurry of activity has prompted the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to schedule hearings this...
...Relying on abortion and pregnancy data on more than 11,600 women from the Danish National Patient Registry, Zhang and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Aarhus University in Denmark, analyzed the impact of an early first-trimester abortion - using drugs versus surgery - on women's long-term reproductive health. After adjusting for variables such as maternal age, number of births prior to abortion and gestational age at the time of abortion, researchers found no increase in risk of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth or low birth weight in the medication group, as compared with the women...
...precipitous. They argue that while "paddo" use may have been involved in serious incidents, it's too easy to single out the drug as the cause of them. Municipal heath services determined that the man who killed his dog had a psychosis unrelated to the drug, and the Danish racer consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana before taking his "paddo." Amsterdam municipal heath services report that the number of mushroom-related incidents, while rising, is still dwarfed by problems caused by alcohol. Advocates of a ban counter that the easy availability of magic mushrooms amounts to an invitation to further tragedies...
