SERIOUS SECURITY
LINCOLN—Nebraska will soon begin asking drivers to be a bit more serious when posing for driver’s license photos, but the move is not a sign that the DMV has lost its sense of humor. Instead, the new slight-smile rule is part of several security upgrades that will be made to the state’s licenses next month. And smiles can cause problems for the facial recognition software Nebraska plans to use.
HEALTH CARE’S FORGOTTEN-ABRIDGED
CROW AGENCY, Mont.—Ta’Shon Rain Little Light, a happy little girl who loved to dance and dress up in traditional American Indian clothes, had stopped eating and walking. She complained constantly to her mother that her stomach hurt. When Stephanie Little Light took her daughter to the Indian Health Service clinic in this wind-swept and remote corner of Montana, they told her the 5-year-old was depressed. By By Mary Clare Jalonick.
