Not only is the match heading for a near-sellout, but the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra will be wearing the United shirt once more under the watchful eye of Sir Alex Ferguson as the midfielder receives a string of warranted accolades for his performances since arriving from Tottenham in 2006.

Denver Health offers a prime example of how technology can heal America’s ailing health-care system. The community health-care network, with a 500-bed hospital and nine family-health centers in Denver’s lower-income neighborhoods, doesn’t turn anyone away. More than 40 percent of its patients don’t have insurance and can’t pay for their care, which cost the institution $280 million last year alone. The hospital has responded to that challenge over the last decade by embracing efficiency-improving, high-tech systems, like electronic medical records and billing systems....
