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...

Titanic II: How Terrible An Idea Is The Plan To Build A Recreation Of The Iconic Ship? :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p> </p>
<p>Billionaire Clive Palmer has released plans for Titanic II, a "full-scale recreation" of the iconic ship that sunk while crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 1912, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people.</p>
<p>The idea will stoke the imaginations and open the wallets of a generation raised on the classic James Cameron film <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/">"Titanic,"</a> but it is can also be seen as a supremely insensitive move, considering that the original Titanic became a floating death trap when it hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland.</p></div></div></div>

Yankees News: Joba Chamberlain To Become A Starter? New York Pitcher Thinks He'd Succeed In Rotation :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Joba Chamberlain has not started a game for the New York Yankees since 2009. However, the pitcher feels that he could help the team if he was put into the rotation.</p>
<p>"This is probably going to spark a bunch of stuff and (Yankees PR director Jason) Zillo is going to be mad at me," said Chamberlain, at Spring Training. "But it's one of those things where it's like, do you think you have the capability to start? Yes. Do I have four pitches that I can throw for a strike? Yes. Do I have two plus pitches in the bullpen that I can throw at any time? Yes."</p></div></div></div>

How science confounded the year's gloom :: Higgs boson and landing Curiosity on Mars are just two of the great achievements of the past 12 monthsIn a year that saw Britain suffer double-dip recession; when crippling debt has risen to threaten a record number of households; when the nation faces losing its triple A credit rating; and the economy of the entire planet continues to flounder, it is hard to find many reasons to be cheerful. The human species, which has made so much of its sparkling intellect in recent decades, could fairly be accused of having made a recent hash of global affairs. It is a justifiable criticism, though it ignores some intriguing contradictory evidence. We forget that some affairs went well in 2012. Indeed, when it came to scientific achievements, the year turns out to have been a sparkling one. Interplane...
