...that would seem to be a significant increase in searches, the toy recall reaction was nothing compared to the pet food recall that occurred in March of this year, when the Food and Drug Administration found that contaminants in hundreds of brands were causing cats and dogs to fall ill. Searches for pet food-related recall issues were over seven times that same two-year average, over double the number of toy recall searches. Certainly protecting our children from the dangers of lead-based paint is more important - or, at the very least, equally as important as tainted pet food...
...modern understanding of the imortance of workplace group dynamics dates to a series of experiments conducted in the 1920s and '30s at a telephone-equipment plant in Cicero, Ill. The Hawthorne studies, overseen by Harvard Business School professor Elton Mayo and named after the factory where they took place, set out to examine the relationship between working conditions--the amount of light in a room, say--and productivity. In one experiment, six women from the shop floor were put into a group and then observed while Mayo's researchers adjusted such variables as the number of rest breaks and their...

Indeed, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) relies heavily on the industry to police itself. "They don't have the resources, or, in some cases, even the authority to do it themselves," Don Mays, a veteran product safety expert at Consumers Union, said of the agency...
...Reinado's original beef was with the Fretilin government, which he accused of ill-treating people from the country's west. Now he says he has a new score to settle, arising from a March raid by dozens of Australian special-forces troops on his former hideout at Same, 110 km south of Dili. Reinado, who escaped the raid along with most of his men, claims the troops shot one of his armed supporters dead while he was asking for a parley, killed two unarmed civilians, and broke the necks of two wounded men. "The way they do operation...
