As first appeared in Boxscore By Aron Solomon I knew it was coming. I told all y’all again and again and you didn’t listen. Let’s summarize before we dive into details: The WTA is not getting a program like ATP’s Baseline. WTA prize money is an abysmal joke as compared with the money is men’s tennis. And, now, because WTA leadership is so remarkably uncreative and ineffectual, they are going to embrace not only China, but Saudi sportwashing, in an effort to infuse desperately-needed cash into the organization that runs women’s professional tennis.

This law is seen by proponents on both the state and national scene as a step in the right direction and has several important benefits: Accountability This law holds manufacturers responsible for their products by allowing victims to sue gun makers.

First appeared in MedPage Today By Aron Solomon According to a recent report from the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute Center for Diagnostic Excellence, 795,000 Americans a year die or are permanently disabled after being misdiagnosed (371,000 patients die and 424,000 are permanently disabled). While previous estimates of annual incorrect diagnoses and their impact on people’s lives have tended to vary widely, this new research provides a more clear picture of the burden of misdiagnosis.
