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.
Based on an extensive understanding of international agreements and norms, Heymann and McNeill identify eight critical areas of need – poverty reduction, quality education, protection from early labour, protection from early marriage, quality health care, po...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

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.

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)

The Open and Rocky Road Post-2015 :: What values does a Yemeni journalist who fuelled the Arab Spring hold in common with a former principal of the U.S. National Security Council? And how in turn will they see eye to eye with a Jordanian queen, or the president of Indonesia?
The subjects of this riddle are meeting in Monrovia as part of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's 27-member High Level Panel of Eminent Person's on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (HLP).
The purpose of the HLP is to lead the discussion around a new framework, the post-2015 development agenda, to replace the expiring Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The HLP's work will culminate with an advisory report to Ban in May 2013.
The meeting, which takes place between Jan. 30 and Feb. 1, is the third in a series of four. Previous meetings took place in Lon...
