NEW YORK (AP) - Bold new initiatives against global warming have come out of major cities around in the world over the past few weeks - with the notable exception of Washington.


Meeting in New York this month, dozens of big-city mayors from six continents competed to present the most ambitious plan for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that cause global warming.


New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg touted his new 127-point plan to cut that city's emissions 30 per cent by 2030. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa committed to reducing his city's carbon emissions 35 per cent by 2030.


Toronto's David Miller announced that he had signed his city up for Zerofootprint, a carbon calculator and social networking website that helps individuals reduce their greenhouse gas production, to help Canada's largest city meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by six per cent in five years and 80 p

I selected an item found in a store showroom & discussed what I needed with the store manager. Store sent installer - at additional cost - to my home to measure. (Manager said if by doing this, if there was a mistake, I would be protected for any errors.)

When Item was deliverd, it was not what I presumed I ordered. Manager says, too bad, I signed the order form saying no changes. Now I am stuck with something in my home that I cannot use and I am out of my money also - almost two thousand dollars. I feel cheated and swindled. I want what I thought I ordered, or I want my money back.

How can I sucessfully sue the store by myself? How do I find out who actually owns the store? What amounts of money limits are there in small claims court? Is there a jury or only a judge to decide? Are there any damages involved? I would prefer to use a lawyer, but the expense would probably be more that of the item purchased. Any suggestions?

I was summoned for jury duty earlier this month. I am a full time student and am on my way to study for a few months in London, on June 7th. I had told the court, or who ever, months ago I was a full time student and still they sent notice and said that I didn't have to send in another form if I sent one in before. With all the planning and school I lost track of the summons and forgot to attend. What should I do? What will they do to me? I called them like the letter said to do and it said that I don't have a new summons date, then I checked my status and there was nothing. Then I checked my imformation and it was correct. I pressed the button that told them I am a full time student. I also left a detailed message on the message service they provide. How much trouble am I in?

For some reason, in almost every press conference I have seen involving President Bush, he has used the line, "I'll let my administration take care of this." or some type of variant of this line. Does he do this because he has no idea what is going on or because his administration does everything for him?

While I don't approved completely is tyrannical hold in Cuba, at least USA was unable to topple him. USA has a history of intervention that has led to dictadorships and poverty in Latin America. Had USA was able to topple Castro, another one like him would have come to power in Cuba or any other Latin America's country. What do you think?

I have a work VISA, a H1-B extension to be precise (I am living over 7 years in the US now) and waiting for my Visa Number to complete the adjustment of my status and get my Green Card. I used to have a L-1B visa, but had to switch after 5 years to the H-1B, because the L-1B could not be renewed anymore (I was forced to leave the country leaving everything behind for the time my L-1B expired and my H-1B approved).

If I want to start a business in the US, is there a legal way for me to do that? If not, is it possible for me to become a shareholder in a C-Corporation or LLC that was founded by an US citizen or permanent resident? Could I acquire 100% of the shares? If not, what is the maximum?

If someone messages you on Yahoo messenger and you tell them to stop and every once in a while they say "hey" or something and you tell them to stop, can you take legal action against them and would it hold up in court? Or because you could simply block them ruin the case?

me and my friend were at the mall and got caught shop lifting a 20 dollar bra and they are having us pay 10 times the amount each, but one of us was the one who actually did it and the other was just there, so when they took us into custody they had us sign papers with out telling us what they were and our parents werent there yet, and when we went to read the papers they told us 'are you deaf we said sign them.', isnt that against the law to have minors sign legal statements with out parents?? and do you think we need a lawyer for this because they said we didnt, we would just have to fess up to what we did and do what the judge says. Plus is there a way to get this wiped off of our records so that we can get scholarships for college still or will they not except us??

It shocks me that they mock Bush and call him a coward that has no military experience....yet they fell in love with Bill Clinton who dodged the draft. Ok, Bush might have been in the national guard, but still. Their whole argument revolves around whether or not he failed to show up one day for a routine physical?!?! It just seems slightly hypocritical that military experience is such a huge deal today with democrats, yet they never mentioned anything to clinton during the war in kosovo, which also was not approved by the UN. where were the protests about violations of international law then? Was that acceptable because france was there too?

It seems to be a generally forgotten fact that Bush told the inspectors to leave before finishing their job so that Bush could invade. We keep hearing that "every intelligence agency in the world" believed Saddam had WMD and that's why we were justified in invading. What legitimate excuse could there have been for Bush to invade before making certain they did or did not have WMD. Personally I'm sick of hearing that it's all the intelligence agencies' fault when all Bush had to do was let the inspectors finish.
