...Boston's point guard, Rajon Rondo, is a scrappy player, and loves to fish for loose balls and offensive rebounds under the basket. But against Kobe, that could be a a very costly error for a point guard, who is usually expected to be the first defender back. "You want to be more disciplined than usual," says Anthony. "Pick your spots to be aggressive." When playing an explosive team like the Lakers, you're going to have to make sacrifices. What does Boston need more, a few loose balls for Rajon Rondo, or the brakes on Kobe Bryant? If they...
...starters, a bonus-pay system could help reduce medical errors. Such errors are associated with an estimated 100,000 unnecessary deaths in the U.S. each year, and cost the health care system as much as $30 billion annually. Binder and others argue that currently there's little motivation for doctors to reduce such errors: Insurers typically reimburse medical providers according to the number of patients they see, rather than the quality of care they deliver.

The mediocre team that relied heavily on defense...
...long appeals process in death penalty cases is intended to minimize the chances of an error. In the Brooks case, Texas may have killed the wrong man. Brooks and a partner were both convicted in 1977 of murdering an automobile mechanic the year before. It never came out in trial who actually fired the bullet that killed the mechanic. But Brooks’ partner, by using the appeals process, was allowed to plead guilty last year to having committed the crime. He was given a 40-year sentence, and could be eligible for parole in just two years. Brooks...
