The incident is rare, but the U.K. Royal Horticultural Society has issued warnings about the risk of contracting legionnaire's disease from handling compost, and has announced that bags of potting compost will carry warnings, the paper in Friday's issue of The Lancet said.
Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia that is caused by legionella, a bacterium found mainly in warm-water environments. Symptoms include high fever, chills and a cough.

Dr. Simon Patten of Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Scotland, described how the 67-year-old man, who has previously fit, came down with a serious fever in March. ]]> Off-Topic News http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12556 http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12555&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:29:56 GMT In the dark of night, on the Chukchin Sea off Wrangel Island, three men steer the "Northern Passage" past ice floes and icebergs.

Good, right? Well, the US is growing, and 100,000 jobs aren't enough for the new people coming into the workforce.

Stock investors cheered Friday because the latest monthly jobs report wasn't terrible. But the big issue remains: Even if you set aside the temporary impact of downsizing at the Census Bureau, the economy isn't generating nearly enough new jobs to bring down the US unemployment rate. ]]> Off-Topic News http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12552 http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12551&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:01:58 GMT The Texas attorney general has opened an antitrust investigation into how Google ranks search results, the first United States case to strike at the heart of the company’s main search business.

The issue at hand — referred to as search neutrality — is whether Google manipulates results to thwart competitors and advance its own businesses. Some companies worry that Google has the power to discriminate against them by lowering their listings in search results or charging higher fees for their paid search ads.

“This whole issue of how Google treats these vertical competitors, that’s a big issue now,” said Gary L. Reback, a lawyer at Carr & Ferrell in Palo Alto, Calif., who has advised small companies that have brought antitrust cases against Google. ]]> Off-Topic News http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12551 http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12550&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:58:42 GMT _The US worker is paying an average of $482_ (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/200029.php) extra this year for family health coverage, 14% more than last year, even though total premiums - including what employers contribute - only rose 3% to an average of $13,770 in 2010, according to a... The US worker is paying an average of $482 extra this year for family health coverage, 14% more than last year, even though total premiums - including what employers contribute - only rose 3% to an average of $13,770 in 2010, according to a survey released by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust. The 2010 Employer Health Benefits Survey revealed that workers are paying almost $4,000 this year for family health coverage.

The total amount of employers' contributions for family coverage remains unchanged, the report reveals. ]]> Off-Topic News http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=12550
