...mood among those already listed on AIM has soured, too. For the first time in its 14-year history, more companies left the exchange than listed on it last year. The reasons aren't hard to come by. In a survey of the businesses delisting in the year to April by law firm Trowers & Hamlins and accountants UHY Hacker Young, financial pressures or insolvency, as well as the cost of maintaining an AIM listing - paying for non-exec directors and other services can add up to $300,000 a year - accounted for a large chunk of those leaving.

Results were announced through the Center for Disease Control, which funds the survey, as part of the CDC’s daily update on swine flu. This is the second HSPH survey...
...study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that two-thirds of the polar bears on the planet could disappear by mid-century if Arctic ice keeps melting. So when the Bush Administration bowed to pressure from environmental groups last year and finally listed the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) - admitting that melting sea ice was the reason - it was considered a rare green coup. Since the ESA mandates the government protect endangered species from hazards, listing the polar bear as threatened by global warming would appear to require Washington to control carbon emissions.
