Women and Elderly Underrepresented in Heart Studies
A JAMA study shows women and those 75 and older remain underrepresented in heart research. Of 593 studies from 1966 to March last year, female enrollment rose from 20 to 25 percent and 75 plus participation from 2 to 9 percent, while heart attack patients include about 37 percent in the older group.

Budget negotiators press $100 million trim amid tax talks
North Carolina House and Senate budget leaders issued new targets to cut at least $100 million from the $14 billion plan as they pursue a tax package. Republicans deride the moves as political cover while Democrats argue the increases in education, Medicaid and state payroll erode any apparent savings. Lawmakers have operated without a full budget for over five weeks as talks center on income and sales taxes and potential imposts on long distance calls and satellite TV. A separate measure aims to raise $50 million by boosting delinquent tax collections through Department of Revenue staffing and a collection contract.
