After CPOE grief and the obvious but very important "what if it breaks?" issue, our immediate concern with putting all that medical data on a nationwide computer network is privacy. Who gets to look? How do you limit access to information and respect privacy when managing a disease, like diabetes or AIDS, that affects many organ systems and so involves many different kinds of doctors and services. Doctor-patient confidentiality seems quite likely to be one of the sacrifices Americans will be required to make to get this project going...
...Personal respect for its creator isn't the only reason not to see Watchmen. There are aesthetic grounds aplenty. The book doesn't lend itself particularly well to film. It's a long, many-threaded serial narrative that's not meant to be forcibly administered in one dose. Its content is also not easily extricable from its comic-book form.

"We don't have any definitive answers yet as to what effects TV-viewing can have on infants with respect to cognitive outcomes," says Christakis. "But here is what we do know - there is absolutely no benefit to this viewing despite claims that continue to be made by commercial products." (See nine kid foods to avoid...
...about those who have built their nests further out, with houses in Newton, flats in Peabody, and apartments in Winchester? Instead of having a day full of delays, distractions, and slush in the hallways, Harvard should make its snow day policy more lenient for convenience, peace of mind, and respect of a New England staple...
