For anyone that has tried to make sense of healthcare costs can understand the absurdity that is documented in this article from the New York Times.
Dr. Frost, the anesthesiologist, spent three days in the same hospital and owed only $8, thanks to insurance coverage by United HealthCare. Still, she was baffled by the charges: $6,844, including $546 for six liters of saline that cost the hospital $5.16.picture via http://4.bp.blogspot.com/

: Will Healthcare Get a Double Whammy by Staying on Windows XP?
Most folks that stay apprised with technology are aware that Windows XP goes to end of life in April 2014. However, in healthcare it appears that vendors and some support entities have buried their head in the sand about this looming date. Only time will tell ,but there is a good potential…
My wife — a pretty tech savvy RN with a couple of MBAs under her belt — works for one of the largest care providers in the Northeast USA. And there, her staff spends countless hours struggling with the hairball products still pushed by Microsoft, and loathed by sysadmins everywhere. Hopefully, a better (cheaper) answer’s on the horizon with the advent of the ACA and the departure of Steve Ballmer.

This photo shows the cosmic region known as Sh2-239 and LDN 155, where star formation activity has caused the mix of dust and colors in the nebulas visible here. The deep colors and dark clouds in this image resemble paintings by some of history’s greatest artists.
The region lies near the southern end of Taurus located on the border of the constellations of Taurus and Perseus more than 400 light-years away. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, or about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).
Astrophotographer Adam Block of the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter at the University of Arizona was one of the first to capture the nebula in such detail. He took multiple exposures to collect enough light for an image that would otherwise not be evident to the eye.
