San Bruno: Prosecutors target PG&E record-keeping flaws linked to blast
2016-01-13 08:24:36| Energy - Topix.net
PG&E executives resisted efforts to reform the flawed record-keeping that was a key cause of a fatal explosion in San Bruno, according to a witness that federal prosecutors intend to present at a criminal trial for PG&E that's linked to the disaster. "It troubles us very much to see that there was this push-back from PG&E executives, and it shows that there continues to be a culture of business as usual at PG&E and prioritization of profits over safety," said Connie Jackson, San Bruno's city manager.

Samsung creates committee to inspect plants linked to cancer
2016-01-12 09:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Samsung Electronics will create an independent committee to monitor working conditions at its semiconductor facilities, writes Bloomberg. The ombudsman committee was created together with victims of leukemia and other work-related diseases, and a local civic after some court cases established that its workers developed rare cancers and other illnesses at its semiconductor facilities. The move comes after Samsung announced a KRW 100 billion (USD 83 million) fund in July to compensate victims and fund preventive measures. Samsung publicly apologised in 2015 to its ill workers and to the surviving family members it battled in South Korea's courts over a period of nine years.

Enterovirus D68 linked to illegal immigration is behind fatal...
2016-01-04 08:54:35| Biotech - Topix.net
A strange virus that began to spread rapidly after multiple waves of illegal immigrant children were shipped into the U.S. from Latin America last year has been shown in a new study to be directly related to the "polio-like illness" that's reportedly infected at least 112 children in 34 states, and killed nearly a dozen others. Known as enterovirus D68, or EV-D68, the mystery virus picked up speed dramatically last fall, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that the number of new cases reported in 2014 was significantly higher than in any previous recorded year.
