...because United had lopped off one attendant from their complement, and the plane was chock full. Stuff was stuffed everywhere because no one wanted to fork over United's $15 fee for a bag. "See you in about 35 minutes," said one flight attendant as she rolled the beverage cart toward the front. Upon her return, a guy in front of me complained about the slow service, and she snarled right back at him. Like the rest of us, she wasn't in the mood to be reminded about awful the experience had become. You want a snack with that...
According to new research, golf-cart injuries have soared higher than a Tiger Woods tee shot. The Center for Injury Research and Policy in Columbus, Ohio, reported that the number of cart-related trips to the emergency room jumped from an estimated 5,772 in 1990 to 13,411 in 2006, a 132% increase.

The Iranians truly believe they have us hostage in Iraq - our supply lines, the acquiescence of the Shi'a in the occupation. It would all change in an instant, though, especially if we were to borrow Iraq to attack Iran. The way Fars put it: "In Iraq, fighters would rise up in solidarity with each other and begin ... making the Tet Offensive in 1968 Vietnam...
Walk into any exam room in the medical center's 140-acre (57 hectare) campus east of downtown Cleveland, and you'll find a computer terminal on a small rolling cart that physicians and nurses use to document every step of patient care in an electronic chart. Instead of scribbling notes by hand on a metal-clad clipboard, doctors and nurses use the fill-in forms on the monitor to type in each patient's symptoms and vital signs, progress and prognosis, and medications prescribed and taken...
