...introduction of computerized patient information and medication orders is meant to reduce "adverse drug events" and ensure that the patient's history and treatment notes are available to everyone who needs them. But progress does not always equal safety. "Technology should remove the burden, but you can get problems. You can hide behind technology and spend more time talking to your computer than to your patients," says Dr. Albert Wu, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins. "And as with any new thing, people screw things up worse before they make things better." Doctors say there is a temptation...

...Calling for a “bipartisan, multinational, multi-generational” coalition to address climate change, Browner began her speech by rattling off nearly a dozen numbers to highlight the scope of the problem.

Title IX, part of a 1972 federal law that mandates equal treatment of male and female athletes, has done much to provide athletes with equal resources. But still there lingers a persistent and intangible biased distribution of social clout between high profile male athletes and lower profile male and female athletes...
...delusional to pretend that full equality in athletics and in social dynamics involving athletes has been reached simply because of Title IX. Even if men and women’s teams have equal time on the practice fields and fencing and football receive proportionate funding, the fact remains that high profile male athletes fill a community niche that other student-athletes do not. Historically, men’s sports such as football, basketball, ice hockey, and lacrosse have occupied a more visible place on college campuses than other athletics. A school is more likely to receive wide acclaim for being...
