Compost study urged by House panel on farm bill
A House Agriculture subcommittee approved an amendment to the 1990 farm bill requiring Secretary Yeutter to appoint a 15 member Compost Task Force to study methods for turning agricultural waste into compost. The proposal cites benefits for water quality and soil enrichment while noting potential USDA bureaucracy. Separately, CDC data place the United States mid pack among 33 developed nations for life expectancy and death rates, with Japan leading and Hungary lagging.

Donor baby born to save leukemia-stricken sister
A healthy baby girl Marissa Eve was born in California to Abe and Mary Ayala who conceived her to donate bone marrow for their 18-year-old daughter Anissa, who has leukemia. The transplant could occur in six months with a 70 to 80 percent chance of cure, and the procedure may require anesthesia to extract marrow from the infant.
