...Health-information technology: A recent study by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Massachusetts General Hospital and George Washington University found that less than 2% of the 2,952 hospitals they surveyed had comprehensive electronic health-record systems. Without these, it is harder to track what kinds of procedures are being performed and what results they are achieving. But these systems are a big investment - usually costing from $20 million to $200 million - at a time when hospitals are already under severe financial strain...
...likely the Montana law will end up before the Supreme Court, Halbrook says, following the same track as the landmark Printz v. United States case, which he argued successfully before the court. That case was filed in Helena, Mont., challenging the constitutionality of requiring local enforcement officers to perform background checks required by the federal Brady Act, regulating handgun sales.

The reporter's mother paced in front of the entrance impatiently, at times stopping to stand with her arms akimbo and dropping her head, at others squatting down to sob into a napkin. When the journalist was finally released, she was taken through a back door, out of reporters' view...
...Harvard men’s and women’s track and field team traveled to Franklin Field in Philadelphia for the Outdoor Ivy League Championships, marking the culmination of its outdoor season. While the Heps doesn’t exactly have the same high-profile significance of the Penn Relays—held annually at the same site—the Crimson posted numerous exciting performances that would have arguably made any spectator believe that the most storied competition in track was being held last weekend.“[Franklin Field] wasn’t really full, but along...
