But Maine state representative Andrea Boland wants us to worry, and some researchers think she might be right, according to a TIME magazine article. Boland is lobbying for cell phone companies to print electromagnetic radiation warnings on their products, alerting consumers to associated risks of brain cancer. Both the National Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization deny that there’s evidence to support a public health warning, but research is inconclusive, according to TIME.

I guess if you have something to share with the DOC (Diabetic Online Community) you have to get it out, sleep or no sleep.  I am telling you the DOC is therapy.  It helps me think about life as a diabetic and more.  Ok. I am going to get back on the subject.  Are you with me? Good. Early this morning I called Andrea  to see if she would be making any ribbons for World Diabetes Day; I figured she was since she makes ribbons for diabetes awareness, lol duh...right?!?  Andrea's response was, "Yes, I am going to make ribbons for World Diabetes Day this year, along with the diabetes awareness ribbons." *High 5*  Did I mention they are FREE?!? She also makes the ribbons by hand and ...

Her name was Andrea Coller and tragically she died just days before getting to see her work in the magazine. I posted about Andrea—and her award-winning essay—on the blog a few times and have been so touched by her story and her raw, real writing. Well, the other day her friend Brie e-mailed me about the crazy/inspiring/adventurous fundraising journey she's on in honor of Andrea. She's training (with the Massachusetts chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) for a 100 mile bike ride around Lake Tahoe. I wanted to share some of what Brie wrote with all of you...

Although the warm weather brought in some late day thunderstorms, we got almost two days of sun. I got to work on my yard and set up my pond for the season, but I also took some time out for a boat ride with my husband. We take the boat out to the Detroit River through a canal from the marina. We also have to pass by a city park where people line the water to fish. I have to say the highlight of the ride was having the opportunity to cruise by the most amazing woman who was fishing by the river. She was sitting with her husband with her fishing pole set into the water. I’ll never forget her fabulous smile as she waved to me while we passed by in the boat. This woman had the ability in that moment to show...

Is health care fair? Will a new government support small business? What topics do you discuss with genuine questions in mind? Even controversial topics can extend your thinking and improve your workplace ... under certain conditions. A neuroscientist would explain it through raised levels of serotonin or dopamine … and other brain chemicals that fuel curiosity and help you to roll out wider viewpoints. It’s rarely easy to find answers to tough questions that impact business in measurable ways. Especially when the media tends to tout one view and ignore fac...

On The Oprah Show today, she talks about it, and about her bipolar disorder.Petrosky is one in a long line of mothers whose untreated or wrongly treated severe mental illness had such a sickening result. In fact, of children killed by a parent, 15.8 percent of defendants had a history of untreated mental illness.What she has to say about it sounds very familiar.Andrea says the person who killed her son "wasn't me. It wasn't the real me. It was a very sick me, because I would never hurt him. Never," she says.Her voice is an eerie echo of many who have been through similar circumstances. Like Naomi Gaines, who killed her 14-month old twins."I know how I was feeling that day. I know I was not the same Naomi who got up with my kids a million times before and f...

Kirk had a long history of mental illness and believed her son was the devil when she strangled him.
