Investing in Kids Isn't Rocket Science :: The Millennium Development Goals challenged the world to cut extreme poverty in half, dramatically reduce child mortality, and make primary education universal, but Jody Heymann and Kristen McNeill say the world can do more.
In their report, “Changing Children’s Chances”, released by the World Policy Analysis Centre on Wednesday, Heymann and McNeill map the world’s commitment to essential development needs of children in terms of the official laws, policies, and programmes that exist at the national level.

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...

From Apple CEO Tim Cook to Ted Nugent, entrepreneurs rock at State of the Union VIDEO :: Who are you going to call when you want to show you're committed to building an economy where innovative companies thrive?
The CEO of Apple, of course. That's what President Bill Clinton did when he invited John Sculley to sit in first lady Hillary Clinton's box at his first State of the Union address in 1993. And it's what President Barack Obama did when he invited current Apple CEO Tim Cook to sit in first lady Michelle Obama's box at tonight's speech.
For Cook's sake, let's hope this honor works… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Physician Practices headlines)

<p>Real Madrid are a side that relish playing on the counter attack, led by the exhilarating pace and ability on either flank of Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel di Maria. Playing with an open approach, while admirable, could well be suicide against such a devastating side on the break. Terim, though, refuses to compromise.</p></div></div></div>
