Is That A Zero Or A Locomotive Wheel?
The other day at a local store there was a woman paying for her purchases with a personal check. She presented identification and all was fine until the checker tried to scan the face of her check for the bank numbers. The scanner would not read the numbers in spite of repeated attempts on the part of the checker. The woman mentioned that she'd been having trouble lately since she got a new set of checks. She said she had noticed that the scenic design, which was mostly in the center of the old checks, had been printed closer to the edges of the new checks, which is where all the numbers are. She seemed almost positive that the more extensive design must be interfering with scanners' ability to read the numbers. I wonder if anyone else is having similar trouble.

Inducing Labor: At What Cost?
Are things really this bad in obstetrics care? A lot of people who would never dream of actively seeking to harm their child while it is developing inside the womb may be letting their baby grow to full-term and then placing it at great risk with this type of drug.
