...think there's any perfect solution, because the essence of a free-market economy is that people are allowed to make mistakes. And some of these bubbles have a good side.

If patients enter a trial with multiple complications - if they are, say, not only depressed, but also cocaine-addicted, hypertensive and diabetic - you dramatically increase the chances of adverse side effects. "That's why trials to determine efficacy are done on a relatively homogeneous population," Wisniewski says...
Compared with Veratect, Google Flu Trends' metric is somewhat simpler. From 50 million potential search topics, Google engineers narrow down a relevant grouping of flu-related search terms, which they track each fall at the start of the annual flu season.

...Twenty-three years ago, the same committee he now leads on the Republican side rejected Sessions' nomination to the federal bench. President Ronald Reagan already had more than 200 conservative judges confirmed when he nominated Sessions, then the young U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, to the U.S. District Court in Alabama. At his confirmation hearing, Democrats tracked down a Justice Department employee named J. Gerald Hebert who had worked with Sessions on civil rights cases. Hebert told the committee that Sessions had once complained to him that the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association...
