...economic greed. When police started confiscating illegal satellite dishes earlier this month - ostensibly satellite is banned for its impure Western content - in about two days the whole city knew exactly why.

If the pills don't match the prescription the doctor typed into the computer, the laptop alerts the nurse. The Institute of Medicine estimates that 1.5 million patients are harmed each year by medication errors, but computer records and bar-code scanners have virtually eliminated those problems in VA hospitals...
