Pro-independence parties have won a series of elections across Europe in recent days, many of them campaigning on anti-austerity platforms. Despite calls by the European Union for closer integration to overcome the euro crisis, the popular movement appears to be in the opposite direction. Scotland already has its own parliament in Edinburgh and some autonomy from London; now the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) wants to break away entirely from the United Kingdom.   First Minister ...

Florida Teen Honored for Conservation Efforts
Oct 19th 2012, 18:59

In April, Avalon Theisen, 14, organized Tampa, Florida's "Save the Frogs Day" event. "This year we created something that I don't think had ever been done before," Avalon says. "We videoed 347 people and one happy dog and created Florida's largest human frog chorus to raise awareness for amphibian conservation." That would be humans making frog-like noises. Through her website, and Conserve It Forward, the non-profit she founded two years ago, Theisen raises money ...

Since the price of gold spiked a few years ago, residents of Zamfara State in northern Nigeria have been digging homemade mines in and around their villages.  Officials blame these unregulated operations for a lead poisoning outbreak that has killed hundreds of children, but activists say punishing miners will only deepen the health crisis.   Sani Bila, the head of a local miners association, squats on top of a pile of rocks as men shovel in nearby shallow pits.  He picks up two ...
