From Frank Taylor at the Lincoln Times-News : Even as the Lincoln County Schools struggle with serious funding shortages and potentially difficult cutbacks, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and Lincoln County Finance Department have been sitting for the past year on a large stash of seized personal property that was supposed to have been sold to benefit the schools. In April 2008, Judge Jesse Caldwell issued an order for disposal of property seized as evidence in the case of Timothy

The ways drugs are tested and marketed are under the spotlight these days: Liz Kowalczyk at White Coat Notes reports that doctors at Massachusetts Partners HealthCare hospitals will no longer be allowed to accept gifts, meals, or “speakers bureau” travel from drug companies. Sarah Rubenstein at WSJ’s Health Blog explores the new Johns Hopkins policy, which is banning free drug-company samples as well as doctor gifts and meals. Roy M. Poses MD at Health Care Renewal responds to a Wa
