The agency serve noticed that it intends to fire 25 employees and suspend 19 more, that's in addition to the eight employees the agency fired in June, making this the single largest disciplinary action ever taken by the TSA at a U.S. airport. Investigation began last fall after a TSA employee was accused of stealing from check luggage in a baggage screening room, that person resigned. Investigation later uncovered a range of lack screening procedures and inadequate oversight. Joel Rose NPR News, New York.
运输安全管理局称，为避免失窃，去年在纽约机场的一个放映室安装了监控摄像头，之后发现放映失效。机场服务部门打算解雇25名员工，还让19名员工暂时停职，加上在六月份解雇的8名雇员，使得这次处罚成为有史以来TSA争对机场做出的最大纪律处分。调查始于去年秋天，一个TSA雇员被指控在行李检查房间偷被检查的行李，后来被辞退。调查后发现了安检过程缺少一系列筛选程序，也没有充分的监督。这里是NPR新闻，来自纽约的约尔·罗丝报道。

In contrast to much scientific opinion, Italy's highest court has ruled that there is a link between a business executive's brain tumour and his intense mobile phone usage. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports the ruling could unleashed a flurry of legal claims.
与大多数的科学观点相反，意大利最高法院裁定，一位公司总裁患脑瘤和频繁使用手机是有联系的。NPR的西尔维娅·波焦利报道，这一裁决可能会引起大家对依法求偿权的疾风骤雨般的争论。
The case involves Innocenzo Marcolini, whose faces partially paralyzed after developing a brain tumour on the left side of his head. It required surgery that has sharply worsen in the quality of his life. He claimed the tumor was caused by use of mobile phone five to six hours a day over a period of 12 years, as he dealt with overseas clients as far away as China. Marcolini won his case in lower court against Italy's Workers' Compensation Authority. The Supreme Court ruled earlier this week that that decision was justified. It said the scientific evidence that been submitted based on studies conducted in Sweden was reliable and not financed, as some studies are by mobile phone makers. Sylvia Poggioli, NPR News, Rome.
该案件的当事人伊诺琴佐·马尔科里尼，由于头部左侧脑瘤的恶化，他的脸部分面瘫。它需要手术，但会使他的身体健康大打折扣。他说肿瘤是他过去12年中每天使用五到六小时手机的缘故。因为他要处理远在中国的海外客户的业务。马尔科里尼在地方法院赢得官司，争取到了意大利的工人补偿权。本周早些时候，最高法院裁定此项决定是合法的。科学证据表明被提交在瑞典进行的研究是可靠，因为部分研究是由手机制造商完成的，而非他方资助。NPR新闻，来自罗马的西尔维娅·波焦利报道。
