NEW YORK - Doctors at a California children's hospital have found the first evidence that using an electronic system to communicate their orders may save lives.

Apple stops Lala's music, Web-based iTunes expected
NEW YORK - Lala, the online music service, will be shut down on May 31, just five months after Apple Inc <AAPL.O> bought the start-up fueling speculation the iPod maker plans to launch a new Web-based version of iTunes. Apple is widely expected to use Lala's 'cloud' technology to integrate a Web subscription service into its popular iTunes Music Store. Such a service could also be used for other digital entertainment like TV shows and movies.
Wounded Nokia chief to face frustrated investors
HELSINKI - Nokia <NOK1V.HE> Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo will next week face shareholders who are frustrated more than ever before.

China, Russia, Canada again top USTR piracy list
WASHINGTON - The United States on Friday placed Russia on its list of countries with the worst records of preventing copyright theft for the 13th straight year, just days after the two nations agreed to intensify talks on Moscow's bid to join the World Trade Organization. The U.S. Trade Representative's office also put China on its "priority watch list" for the sixth consecutive year and Canada for the second. The list carries no threat of sanctions, but aims to shame governments into cracking down on piracy and updating their copyright laws.
