Electronic Health Records: Death By A Thousand Clicks

Lambert Strether at naked capitalism - 17 hours ago

F-35 and F-15X: The Air Force Combo That Might Be Unstoppable

Charlie Gao at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago

Collateral damage from the Green New Deal

Meet Andrew McDaniel, a far right Republican extremist who looks like a supporting actor in a monster movie but who actually represents Missouri's 150th House district. That's mostly Dunklin County, down in that little piece of the state (the "bootheel") hanging off the southeast tip between Arkansas and Tennessee.

Those samples, frozen in 1968 by Dr Steven Salamon, came from four rams, including 'Sir Freddie' born in 1963, owned by the Walkers on their then property at Ledgwor... more »
