The laboratory giant says unauthorized access to a system used for ordering tests and retrieving results exposed personal information and patient records. The company is investigating what was accessed and preparing to notify affected patients.
Analysis | The grocer bans hundreds of ingredients as it builds out its beauty aisle. As the category grows, who sets the standard matters more.
Marshall Faulk is the latest former NFL star to disclose a Parkinson’s diagnosis. Research involving thousands of players points to a link between football, repeated head impacts and neurological disease, even as scientists work out how that risk builds.
Analysis | Record revenue and a 28% jump in profit arrived alongside plans to cut about 3,500 jobs. Strong earnings used to mean security for workers. That link is weakening.
Two travelers passed through Uganda's Entebbe International Airport on the same day in early October. Both would become part of an expanding Ebola investigation, one in Kenya and the other in Nigeria. African health authorities are now examining whether their journeys intersected in a way that could help explain how the virus reached West Africa. The possibility remains unconfirmed, but the investigation has exposed a difficult problem for disease-control systems: a virus can move between countries faster than health authorities can establish where an infection occurred.

A household does not need an economist to tell it when money is getting tighter. The calculation happens at the supermarket, when a planned purchase goes back on the shelf, or at home, when a family postpones replacing an appliance because next month's bills feel less predictable. Across Britain, those private calculations are adding up to a sharp deterioration in consumer confidence, raising concerns about how much additional economic pressure households can absorb.
For drivers, a new gas station is a convenience. For its owner, it’s an investment. For the family next door, it can mean more cars pulling in and out, bright lights, delivery trucks, noise and worries about fuel emissions. Houston has no conventional zoning to keep homes and businesses apart the way many U.S. cities do, and those competing interests are now at the center of a proposal to limit where gas stations can go.
Eggs cost far less than they did early last year, mostly because the bird flu outbreak eased. With the midterms less than two weeks away, voters are still focused on the overall cost of living.
