...consolidation left academic journals largely in the hands of five publishing companies. The firms hiked subscription prices 227% over a 14-year period, between 1986 and 2002, forcing cash-strapped libraries to drop many subscriptions, according to Van Orsdel. "The chance of the price being driven up in a similar way (in the Google deal) is really very real," she says...

He supports efforts by Congress to pass an orphan-works bill that would give everyone similar legal protection. (See the top 10 fiction books...
...discovery by Duke psychologist Avshalom Caspi of a "depression gene," which was among the first to be associated with mental illness - a notably difficult class of diseases to pin down, genetically speaking - inspired dozens of similar studies. While many researchers had suspected that 5-HTTLPR played a significant role in depression risk, Caspi was the first to establish an association by studying depressed people who had also experienced a stressful life event, such as the death of a child or sudden unemployment. What Caspi's 2003 epidemiological study, published in Science, found was that people with one or two copies...

This proposal, similar to a plan introduced in May by GOP Representatives Mark Kirk and Charlie Dent, would allow small businesses, states, associations and other organizations to pool their health insurance across state lines to help bring down costs. Kirk and a group of 34 moderate Republicans this week also introduced another alternative, which would allow those not insured by their employers to deduct the cost of their insurance policies from their income taxes. In May, Representative Paul Ryan, together with Representative Devin Nunes, introduced a bill called the Patients' Choice Act, which...
