...many green jobs exist in America today - in part because there's no definite agreement on what constitutes a green job. A study by the International Labor Organization, the U.N. Environment Program determined that approximately 2.3 million people worldwide had found new jobs in the renewable energy sector in recent years, and that nearly 8.5 million people would be working in those industries by 2030. In the U.S., everything from solar power to energy efficiency is potentially poised to take off if Obama can pass carbon-capping legislation, as he has pledged - and many of those green jobs could come...
Despite Kamrava's practice of using more embryos than most doctors practicing IVF, his overall success rates remain low when compared to nationwide averages. According to statistics provided by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, in 2006 - the most recent data available - among patients younger than 35, Kamrava transferred an average of 3.5 embryos versus the nationwide average of 2.3.

Permission was granted for a protest march by an opposition party last month. And Medvedev visited the headquarters of Novaya Gazeta after the murder of journalist Anastasia Baburova - no such gesture was forthcoming from Putin after the murder of Anna Politkovskaya two years ago, a journalist from the same newspaper known for her exposes of human rights abuses in Chechnya...
...conditions of Khodorkovsky's imprisonment. "He was punished for sharing a food parcel, and he was denied leave for refusing to participate in some kind of prison sewing group. It's just completely ridiculous," said Lokshina. She pointed out that the only good news for Khodorkovsky was a recent dismissal of a lawsuit where a cellmate had accused him of sexual assault. "This was also ludicrous...
