The first combined House-Senate budget in six years passed 51-48 with all Senate Democrats and two Republicans voting against it, presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Senator David Vitter, a Republican who is running for Louisiana governor this year, did not cast a vote. Senate Republicans hailed it as the first balanced budget plan since a 2001 surplus, hoping to score points among voters worried about mounting U.S. debt levels.

By Madeline Kennedy (Reuters Health) – Internet information about orthodontic braces varies in quality and may not be entirely accurate, according to a new study from the Netherlands. Orthodontic patients may look for information on the Web, but some people have questioned the quality of that information, the researchers write in the Journal of the American Dental Association. The study team used the search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing to find websites giving advice on oral hygiene for braces. They used the search terms “cleaning braces,” “brushing braces” and “oral hygiene and braces.” Overall, they evaluated 62 websites for accessibility, usability, reliability, readability and completeness of information, such as instructions about tooth brushing, dietary advice, fluoride recommendations, and dental care accessories.
