With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

STM Welcomes Report of the Finch Group into Expanding Access to Research Publications in the UK :: 19 June 2012.
STM welcomes the package of measures recommended by the Finch Group on expanding access to research publications in the UK which are set out in the Finch Report released today.

Be careful," she warns as she surveys the attic scene: oak casks, some dating back to 1912 when her great-grandmother founded the Monari Federzoni balsamic vinegar operation, lie in a jumble, rivulets of "black gold" seeping from their cracked seams on to the grey cement floor."It takes years to make this product," says Federzoni, whose family business exports 70% of its vinegar to 50 countries, including Britain. "To see it ruined like this, it is so sad."The wave of seismic activity that began on 20 May in northern Ita...
