...private-sector initiative already has about 50,000 patients inputting their symptoms and treatment regimens and updating details of their disease progression. Wonder how others are coping with your particular ailment? PatientsLikeMe.com spells it out via color-coded charts and graphs. "When you need help, privacy is a terrible thing," says Jamie Heywood, who co-founded PatientsLikeMe in 2004 before his brother died of Lou Gehrig's disease...
...instance, online donors may be less particular about their choice of charity. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because niche or religious charities can sometimes impose irrelevant political or cultural values on foreign aid, such as religious organizations restricting condoms in regions devastated by AIDS.

The absurdities of the NATO campaign, in which each country's forces operate according to their own particular caveats - many of which include no fighting - shocked Gates during his visit a year and a half ago. "He heard that we had a soldier who was shot and was in Spain's AOR [area of responsibility]. The Spanish troops had to call back to Madrid to seek permission to medevac him," a Pentagon aide told me. "The soldier lived. But Gates was furious." He also heard that while wounded soldiers in Iraq were guaranteed a medevac...
