Central Bank ups bond purchasing over Christmas period
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today DEC 28,10 @ 07:57 CET

The European Central Bank on Monday announced that its purchase of eurozone government bonds jumped to €1.121 billion over the past week.The increase, almost twice the previous week's purchase of €603 million in government bonds, comes despite the low level of trading over the Christmas period, as Frankfurt maintains its eurozone vigilance in Frankfurt even amid turkey dinners and carols.Total government debt purchases by the ECB amount to €73.5 billion since it began a buying programme in May when the Greek government hit the wall in its attempts to sell public debt to investors.

The ECB debt purchase scheme is intended to ease pressure on government borrowing costs.Despite the jump in the last week, purchases still remain far below the scale of similar actions in May, when the central bank was intervening with buys of sometimes over €10 billion each week.Since the height of the Greek crisis, the purchasing programme had been significantly reined in.However, with the return of eurozone turbulence, the ECB in December upped its public debt acquisitions.

EU industry chief voices need to block Chinese takeovers
ANDREW WILLIS Today DEC 28,10 @ 09:16 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Europe should establish a new authority with powers to block foreign takeovers of strategic European businesses, EU industry commissioner Antonio Tajani has argued. The authority is particularly necessary as Chinese companies increasingly look to grow their overseas investments, the Italian politician said in an interview with German business daily Handelsblatt on Monday (27 December). Chinese companies have the means to buy more and more European enterprises with key technologies in important sectors, remarked Mr Tajani.It is a question of investments but behind that there is also a strategic policy, to which Europe should respond politically, he said.As a result, Europe should establish an authority tasked with examining foreign investments in Europe using the the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US as a model.Under the proposal, the European authority would determine if the acquisition (of a company) with European know-how by a private or public foreign company represented a danger or not.A number of European and American firms have been frustrated in recent years by the speed at which their Chinese competitors have acquired new technologies developed outside the Middle Kingdom.

For its part, China has gradually sought to remove its own restrictions on foreign investment but considerable limitations still apply.Reacting to the EU suggestion for a new authority, German economy minister Rainer Bruederle warned against overly quick decisions.Of course one can have an evaluation procedure taking into account security and public order concerns. But we shouldn't take hasty actions, Mr Bruederle told the Handelsblatt paper on Tuesday.Europe profits from the openness of its markets and offers attractive conditions for foreign investors,he added.

London Terror Cell Targeted Rabbis
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu DEC 28,10

Britain revealed Tuesday that it arrested nine terrorists last week, five days before a planned Christmas bomb blitz that would have targeted two rabbis, among others. The names of the rabbis were not released, and authorities did not reveal several details of the planned attack.All nine terrorists were either born in Britain or grew up there. Some of them are of Bangladeshi origin, according to the London Daily Mail.Besides two rabbis, whose addresses were written on a list, other targets included a London tourist attraction, the London Stock Exchange, Mayor Boris Johnson, the dean of a cathedral and the American embassy.The terrorist gang also had visited Big Ben, a McDonald's restaurant and other sites where large crowds gather.

They already had tested explosives in preparation for the bomb blitz, according to evidence presented in court. All of the men are under the age of 29 and were arrested in a series of dawn raids after London intelligence officers conducted a surveillance operation and recorded the cell’s conversation.Publication of the arrests and charges against the terrorists coincided with charges by the Israeli Defense Ministry that the Palestinian Return Center is operating in London as the organizational arm of Hamas.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Media Parrots Hamas Line on Cast Lead Anniversary
by Maayana Miskin DEC 28,10

Mainstream media outlets are parroting Hamas' claims regarding the Gaza casualties of the Cast Lead counter-terror operation in articles marking two years since the beginning of Operation Cast Lead, from the last week in December 2008 until three weeks later in January 2009.Israeli researchers found that 1,166 residents of Gaza were killed in fighting, most of them terrorists. Fewer than 300 of those killed were civilians, they said.Names released by Hamas and Gaza media during the skirmish showed that the overwhelming majority of victims were young men. However, Hamas originally claimed that over 1,400 people were killed, and that more than 1,000 of those were civilians, saying that just 48 of its terrorists had died.While the terrorist group recently admitted that 700, not 48, of its fighters were among the dead, world media continues to repeat its initial claim that most victims were civilians.A report printed Monday by AFP stated that the operation killed 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, while the Associated Press stated that Cast Lead left about 1,400 Palestinians dead, including many civilians, and brought heavy international criticism on Israel.Reuters stated that the 2008 operation killed some 1,400 Palestinians, but unlike AFP, it did not claim that most of the dead were civilians.

Media outlets around the world often repeated Hamas claims during Cast Lead, leading to harsh international criticism of Israel. In one case, Hamas and local United Nations officials accused Israel of killing dozens of civilians who had hidden in a UN school – when in fact, none of those in the school were killed. The Associated Press, and the British papers Guardian and Daily Mail were among those to accuse Israel of killing civilians in the school.UN official John Ging later clarified that Israel was right in saying that its troops had not fired on the school and that nobody in the school was killed.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Easier Breathing with Advanced New Gas Mask
by Maayana Miskin DEC 28,10

The Defense Ministry, working with the Shalon company, has developed a new gas mask filter that allows wearers to breath easier. Dozens of the filters have been produced in recent weeks in a test run.If the filters can be produced at a cost equal to that of production of the current filters, they may be put into use in gas masks across the country. However, budget constraints could keep old filters in use if the new filters are found to be more expensive.Lieutenant-Colonel Lior Gabai heads the Home Front Command's project to update its equipment for protection in case of non-conventional attack. He praised the new filter, saying it can barely be felt.With this filter there is no breathing difficulty, as opposed to the current filter, which stalls the flow of air and makes it harder, he added.While the new filter is better than the old, the IDF's first priority is to get gas masks to all citizens, officials said. At the moment, there is not enough of a budget to supply masks for all citizens of the country, they said.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Ambassadors’ Conference Ends on Sour Note
by Elad Benari DEC 28,10

For the past several years, Israel’s Foreign Ministry has taken advantage of the holiday season abroad to hold an annual conference for Israeli ambassadors around the world.This year, however, the conference ended on a sour note, Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website reported on Monday.According to the report, Foreign Ministry employees decided to take advantage of the ambassadors’ conference and use it as a means of worsening the measures they have taken to protest an impasse in negotiations with the Ministry of Finance on improving their employment conditions.

Acting upon orders by the workers union, starting Monday morning the agenda for the conference was frozen, and before long the workers decided not to attend a scheduled meeting with President Shimon Peres.Acting Director General at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rafi Barak, urged union members not to cancel the meeting with Peres, but they refused to attend. In addition, the union members handed the ambassadors and Foreign Ministry employees who came especially from abroad to participate in the conference black shirts bearing the words I am a poor diplomat.The workers union published data on Monday, according to which 10 per cent of Foreign Ministry’s employees are considered as being below the poverty line.

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths Mike Adams Natural News
Tuesday, December 28, 2010

(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/vol5n…).

- 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, from the CDC’s chart). Interestingly, according to the CDC’s own numbers (from 1998), more people are killed from being struck by lightning each year than from e.coli.

- Listeria kills 499 people and Salmonella kills 553 people. But salmonella poisoning is easily acquired from store-bought chickens, of which two-thirds are contaminated with salmonella every day! Since the food safety bill doesn’t even address chickens, cows or other animals because those are handled by the USDA, this salmonella fatality figure probably won’t be reduced at all. (Salmonella comes largely from animals: Fowl, reptiles, etc.)

So how many people will the Food Safety Modernization Act actually impact? It’s primarily going to address e.coli poisoning and Listeria contamination. So we’re talking about a grand total of 78 + 499 people each year, or 577 people.By the way, for comparison, consider the fact that 300 people die in the U.S. each year from penicillin allergies. Another 14,500 people die each year from taking NSAID painkiller medications. Nearly three quarter of a million people are killed by conventional medicine (drug deaths, surgical mistakes, iatrogenic deaths, etc, source: Death By Medicine). Congress does nothing to address these causes of death, of course. The focus is on the few hundred people who die each year from the common causes of food-borne illness.So in order to prevent the deaths of 577 people each year for five years, the U.S. Congress is going to spend $1.4 billion! But that’s overly optimistic, it turns out. Because no food safety program is 100 percent effective in the first place.Let’s share a wild fantasy and imagine that the Food Safety Modernization Act might be a huge success and prevent 50 percent of those 577 deaths. That’s a wild stretch, of course, especially since the bill doesn’t even cover cattle, hogs and poultry, and that’s where e.coli originates from in the first place.But just for fun, let’s assume a 50% reduction in food-borne illness deaths. That means, if you do the math on this, that spending $1.4 billion over five years would prevent the deaths of 1,443 people from food-borne illnesses. That’s almost $1 million per person of taxpayer dollars being spent by the federal government for each food safety death prevented.

A million dollars per person. Is this really the best use of taxpayer money? It would seem that if you’re going to spend this money in order to save lives, there’s a way to save a hundred times as many lives with the same dollars…This $1.4 billion, by the way, would be used to fund a huge expansion of the FDA which would unleash a whole new army of FDA agents who run around the country auditing farms and greenhouse operations, then arresting those who don’t have their paperwork in order. It’s like a whole new TSA, except their agents aren’t confined to airports. They come to you and search your farm, your greenhouse or even your backyard garden operation (no, small farms are not automatically exempted from the food safety bill as was claimed by those who supported it).

Congress once again fails to understand economics
This food safety bill was yet another feel good bill that nearly everyone in Congress supported. Who wouldn’t want to be on the record voting for food safety?But as usual, Congress forgets that it is spending other peoples’ money. When you’re spending the taxpayers’ money, cost doesn’t really matter, especially to those members of Congress who habitually think bigger government is the answer to every problem.The real question, though, is the following: Is there a better way to spend $1.4 billion to save Americans’ lives?

The answer is: absolutely!For example, if you really want to save lives at a very low cost, all you need to do is hand out free vitamin D supplements to the population. Vitamin D3 supplements could easily be purchased for $10 for a 30-day supply (in volume). So a one-year supply of vitamin D would only cost $120. For $1.4 billion, you could provide a one-year supply of vitamin D for 11.6 million people, or nearly four percent of the U.S. population.Because vitamin D prevents 77 percent of all cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html), you could slash the rate of cancer fatalities during that year for nearly 4 percent of the U.S. population! At the same time, because vitamin D boosts immune function and provides greatly improved immunity, you would also sharply reduce deaths from winter colds and flu (which the CDC claims kill 30,000 people a year).Vitamin D also helps prevent heart disease, obesity, kidney disorders and even psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, meaning that with this one nutrient, you could slash the rates of several of the most devastating and costly diseases known to modern medicine.

Statistically speaking, you would save far more than 577 lives per year and at the same time, you would greatly reduce hospitalization costs and expenditures to the point where the $1.4 billion spent on these vitamin D supplements is actually paid back through the savings in Medicare / Medicaid expenditures.In fact, the payback on a vitamin D investment by the government for the population might be more like ten to one: For every $100 spent on vitamin D supplements, $1,000 would likely be saved in medical costs. This is a rough estimate, but you get the idea: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as they say.Instead of money going out the door, a vitamin D program would actually reduce overall government (and state) spending on sick-care management.So if you really want to save lives and money at the same time, instead of handing another billion dollars to the FDA which will only use it against the people, it would make a lot more economic sense to invest that money in a low-cost, extremely safe and highly effective nutritional supplement that could sharply reduce cases of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression and even mental disorders.Why can’t Congress understand economics and make rational decisions about smarter ways to spend money? The answer, of course, is because it’s not their money. This is why governments that spend taxpayer dollars always end up betraying the taxpayers. If it’s not their money, there’s never any real incentive to spend it wisely.

Economics 101
Congress has never really had a firm grasp on the fundamentals of economics, by the way. In spending your money, Congress acts with extreme arrogance, insisting that Big Government can solve your problems by spending more money — any amount of money — to keep you safe, secure and healthy. And they’re going to force you into a sick-care system, have FDA agents auditing your backyard farms, and outlaw raw milk just to make sure you stay healthy in the way Congress wants you to (which really means keeping you sick, of course).But as long as they’re spending YOUR money, who’s counting? It doesn’t come out of the pockets of Congressional members, does it? They get paid the same whether they waste your money or not, so the motivation is to blow as much public money as necessary for them to take credit for passing new safety measures that sound good on paper but really represent an economic disaster.It also brings up the question: How much is a human life worth when it comes to spending taxpayer dollars? Is it acceptable for the government to confiscate, for example, $1 million from the taxpayers to save the life of one person? If you answer yes, then how about $10 million per life saved? How about $1 billion? At what point do expenditures that are said to protect lives become economically unsustainable to the rest of the nation? And if spending money is the way to protect people, then why not have the government hire a personal shopping and food preparation coach for each and every person in America who can do all their shopping and food washing to make sure they don’t get e.coli poisoning? That would certainly save lives, too. As Big Government supporters might also add, it would create jobs! Sure it would, but government jobs don’t count toward the economy — they take away from the earnings of everyone else because they are funded with the confiscated tax dollars of the rest of the people who are actually working for a living! Even government workers who earn a paycheck see their own paychecks reduced by the government to take out federal taxes that are used to hire yet more government workers somewhere else!

Risks are inherent in the world
In all this, there’s also the point that your safety is not guaranteed in our world. Everything you do has some sort of risk associated with it, and most people do very little to avoid risks in the first place. People drive drunk. They fail to wear vehicle seatbelts. They go skiing and break their legs. They smoke cigarettes, they eat Happy Meals, they drink diet soda and they coat their bodies with toxic cosmetics and personal care products on a daily basis.The average American bathes themselves in over 200 synthetic chemicals before they even leave the house in the morning! They don’t even value their own lives enough to live a safe, healthy lifestyle to begin with.Real food safety is completely ignored by the federal government.Even in the grocery store, there are all sorts of additional threats to your safety that this food bill doesn’t cover. The food bill didn’t say anything about the aspartame in diet soda and how it may contribute to brain cancer. It didn’t mention the deadly ingredient sodium nitrite found in hot dogs and how it aggressively promotes cancer.It also didn’t cover the startling fact that the vast majority of all store-bought chickens are contaminated with salmonella right from the moment you buy them (http://www.naturalnews.com/028661_c…). Meat, you see, isn’t covered under this food safety bill. And that’s especially odd given that e.coli doesn’t grow in plants — it only grows in the guts of animals. It seems Congress failed to understand that simple biological point. They think e.coli magically appears in batches of spinach.

In fact, the grotesque and dangerous practices of the entire meat industry were completely ignored in the Food Safety Modernization Act. Instead, all the food safety problems are being blamed on plants. This means that $1.4 billion spent on food safety is actually going in the wrong direction! Instead of auditing greenhouses and small farms, the FDA food police should be going after the outrageously dangerous and inhumane practices of the factory animal operations such as cattle feedlots. That’s where the food poisoning originates.But, oh yeah, I forgot: The FDA doesn’t cover that. It’s the jurisdiction of the USDA. So why isn’t Congress giving money to the USDA to inspect factory feedlot operations? Because the corporations that run those feedlots have better lobbyists, of course. So Congress simply decided to throw the money at the FDA — after all, the word food is in the agency’s name — and then take credit for improving food safety in the USA.

Keeping up appearances
When you’re a member of Congress, you see, what’s far more important than actually solving problems is to appear to solve problems. If wasting another few billion dollars gives you the ability to claim, during the next election, that you voted for food safety, then that sounds great with voters. It might get you reelected so you can spend another two years wasting the taxpayers’ money on even more Big Government programs.That’s the business of Congress, after all: Stay in office and keep claiming authority over the lives of the American people. And with the Food Safety Modernization Act, they now want to control what you grow, even as they do virtually nothing to improve the actual safety of the food you eat.The truth of this whole scam is almost too much to swallow. In a nation where 100,000+ Americans are killed each year by FDA-approved medications, the government is going to spend $1.4 billion to try to prevent 1,443 deaths from food-borne illness while doing absolutely nothing to prevent pharmaceutical deaths.No wonder the American people have lost faith in Big Government. Every time you take a rational look at what the government is doing, it all resembles a circus of morons competing to see who can take credit for coming up with the biggest lie that the American people will actually believe. And year after year, they somehow manage to out-do each other.Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/030853_food_safety_government_spending.html#ixzz19OmDDVqR

From New York's MTA, LIRR to Boston's MBTA, winter storm slows transit
By Mark Trumbull - DEC 28,10

Despite sunny skies Tuesday, rail and transit systems in the Northeast were still struggling to get back to normal operations. New York area commuters faced the biggest challenges, but milder problems stretched from Philadelphia to Boston.The MTA system in New York has advised would-be commuters to consider traveling later in the morning if at all possible and warned of possible crowding issues due to limited service on subways and commuter trains.

MTA officials warned of subway service outages, particularly where lines were directly exposed to the snow, including in Brooklyn. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) has suspended service on some routes and is operating a Martin Luther King Day schedule on its Babylon, Huntington, Port Washington, and Ronkonkoma branches.
The Metro-North Railroad (MNR) lines into New York are operating, but on a Saturday schedule on the Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven lines.Part of the challenge across the Northeast has been simply the volume of snow on tracks and roads. Crews worked to clear as much as two feet from rails near New York. But the transit systems have also battled problems with weather-impaired signals.

New York bus service? Don't ask.

Long Island Bus is operating very limited service due to road conditions, the MTA said on its website, where updates will be posted.Limited-Stop bus service in New York City remains suspended. Local and express service in the five boroughs is operating with delays and shortened routes, it said. We will only restore service where we can safely do so.Near Philadelphia, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority warned that rail passengers could face 30 minute delays, and a few bus routes are suspended.The New Jersey Transit system also has delays, after areas such as Port Elizabeth saw nearly three feet of snow. Trains are operating on an enhanced weekend schedule, bus service has been restored, and passengers in the central or northern parts of the state should expect delays due to local road conditions.The NJTransit.com website has additional weather-related information, such as a few trains that are canceled or delayed by up to an hour.In Boston, some commuter lines are running late by as much as 30 minutes, and a truck stuck on one track caused similar mild delays on the Kingston/Plymouth line, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) said. Subway and bus riders also faced some delays after the big dig-out.

US shakes off blizzard, but not travel misery
by Sebastian Smith - DEC 28,10

NEW YORK (AFP) – The US northeast began Tuesday to shake off the icy grip of one of the biggest blizzards in years, but beleaguered travelers faced at least another day of headaches in New York airports.After one last night of ferocious winds, the storm had moved fully out of New York by early Tuesday. The system, packing enormous snowfalls and gales, churned up through Maine and into Canada, leaving a cold tail as far south down the US east coast as the Carolinas.The lifting of the siege meant that New York, the hardest hit area in the blizzard beginning Sunday, could finally start getting back to normal.Snow plows and salt spreaders were hard at work before dawn in Manhattan, battling through knee-high snow in many streets.But officials expected it would take several days to get New York and the all-important transport hubs back fully on track following the sixth heaviest snowfall in city history. The three major airports of John F. Kennedy International, La Guardia and Newark International in New Jersey reopened late Monday, but cancellation of more than 5,000 flights meant a huge backlog and more delays.

Arriving flights at Newark were experiencing delays of an average of eight hours on Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration said. At JFK, delays for arriving flights averaged five and a half hours.Operations at La Guardia were reported closer to normal.Continental said that operations in New York and Newark remained disrupted.
On December 28, we will attempt to resume flights as the operation permits. Some arrivals will be postponed in the morning and early afternoon hours to assist with the operation.Aircraft meant to arrive in Newark on Monday were now arriving Tuesday, Continental said.JetBlue, which cancelled flights out of New York or Boston until Tuesday, echoed other airlines, saying that affected passengers would be able to re-book without charge until January 14.Conditions remained grueling for ground commuters, with bus, subway and train lines still snarled up.There continue to be major delays and in some cases suspensions in service across our transportation network that will continue through the morning and into the afternoon, the Metropolitan Transport Authority said in New York.Passengers could only hope for better service than on Monday, when many found themselves stuck at wind-blasted bus stops without buses and in stricken subway cars as they tried to get to work or home.

The rescue services were sometimes not much better off: police cars, ambulances and trucks sent to tow the many stranded buses often wound up stuck in the same snow and ice.Officials in eastern Canada said the blizzard had dumped heavy snow and on Tuesday more than 12,000 homes in eastern Canada were without electricity, some of them already for 24 hours.Flight schedules were severely disrupted in Toronto and Montreal.Meanwhile, an unusual cold snap in New Orleans led to tragedy when eight homeless people died in an abandoned building that caught fire.

CAIRO (Reuters) – A resurgent H1N1 swine flu virus has infected 1,172 people in Egypt and killed 56 since October 8, a Ministry of Health official said on Monday.
The virus has infected 16,373 people, of whom 281 died, since it was first reported in Egypt in June 2009, said the official, who asked not to be named.H1N1 flu broke out in 2009 and quickly spread across the world. The World Health Organization said about 18,450 people died from the virus, including many pregnant women and young people.Last year Cairo took various initiatives to try to limit the spread of H1N1, including culling all pigs in the country, temporarily closing schools and stopping travelers with fever at airports.
