...being pushed hardest by those who would profit financially from it - not just technology companies but also large hospitals and medical practices hoping to improve billing and control internal costs. With a digital chart, every test, diagnosis and treatment a doctor orders is instantly passed along to the billing side: Why give away that Ace bandage for free? This could make the billing bureaucracy more efficient. But communication the other way, from billing to medical, would take place too. And this is more insidious. In a digital system, doctors can't simply write whatever they want: they generally must select...
...hear your eyes rolling. But some claim there's actually something to the idea that humans can alter the physical world with their minds, and they offer research to prove it. Dean Radin, a senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, Calif., conducted a test in which, he says, subjects who ate Intentional Chocolate improved their mood 67% compared with people who ate regular chocolate. "If the Pope blessed water, everyone wants that water. But does it actually do something?" Radin asks. "The answer is yes, to a small extent...
...Obama is a big improvement on Bush across the board, but he hasn't faced any test that measures his ability to use power," Gelb says.

Working-memory tests require intense concentration, and I was distracted because I was nervous. Rapport, several of his grad students, a UCF public relations official and a friend of mine were all watching me through an open doorway while I performed the tests. I ended up scoring worse than some of Rapport's kids...
...alone could save an estimated $300 billion each year, according to the national coordinator for health information technology under former President George W. Bush. The consensus, of course, is that we must go paperless: link hospitals, doctors' offices and clinics via an interactive digital grid that allows patient histories, test results and other data to be called up at a keystroke and transmitted anywhere. Hospitals have been slowly converting to electronic health records (EHR) for several years, but with health-care reform, at last, high on Washington's to-do list, President Barack Obama has called for $19 billion...
