Special medical buildings boost hospital bed use
United States hospital beds have fallen by 250000 in a decade yet underutilization remains says retired Admiral Elmo Zumwalt president of American Medical Buildings Inc. He notes the company builds ancillary facilities to extend bed and outpatient use with turnkey services including assembling a medical team. Despite fewer beds bed occupancy fell from 80 percent in 1950 to 76 percent last year signaling inefficiency amid rising health care costs and doctor numbers.

Experts argue a constitutional reading could permit non-discriminatory aid to religion, while others warn of ongoing Supreme Court limits on religion in public life.

Fox River fish show higher cancer rates than Ontario sport fish
Dr. Eric R. Brown of Chicago Medical School compared fish from Fox River and Ontario Lake of the Woods. He found less than 0.5 percent of the Canadian fish had cancer indicators versus six percent of Fox River fish, suggesting pollution reduction efforts are not fully successful. The Fox River watershed is heavily populated and industrialized, while Lake of the Woods is sparsely inhabited with little industry.
