They have to depend upon US websites for information ( much of which is not applicable to Indian conditions and diseases); or upon their doctor ( who is often too busy to educate them !)One of the major issues is that the importance of educating patients has still not become a pressing issue for doctors. Traditionally, Indian doctors have always been quite paternalistic; and most Indian patients are quite happy to follow the doctor's orders.While it's true that times are changing, and that the younger generation of doctors is more willing to be open ad to invest time in discussing treatment options with their patients, another limitation has been the acute shortage of patient educational ...

Burying angels under new regulations would be part of a one-two knock-out blow for this group of more than 300,000 higher-income Americans who invest directly into start-up companies. The Obama administration’s tax-increase policies would be the other blow, as I testified to the Senate earlier this year.  Angels have played a crucial role in America’s dynamic job-creating economy over the decades. Policymakers would be absolutely crackers to screw up such a successful part of our innovation economy.

LeeI haven’t been following the debate over Sen. Dodd’s financial overhaul closely enough to have an opinion on the overall package, but Mike Masnick flags one aspect of the legislation that seems really troubling. Bob Litan explains: Under existing law, startup companies can raise money easily and quickly from “accredited investors” — individuals with substantial wealth or income. There is no need for the companies or the investors to gain approval from any state or regulatory official. All of this would change if Section 926 of the Dodd bill is included in any final reform legislation. That section would require, for the first time, companies seeking angel investment to make a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would hav...

I know lots about IVF ( since I have been doing this for over 20 years now !) and it's fun to learn about new areas and other fields - it helps to keep me young and on my toes !It also helps that I have clever friends who are entrepreneurs and angel investors.

While there is no magic here, statistics show a trend towards this sort of behavior when a person reports they are happy. Which came first? Happiness or happy behavior? In my experience, happiness is a state of mind relatively unrelated to events. A person who values his life based more on who he is, appreciates what he has, who takes concrete steps towards his goals, and makes a conscious effort to see his glass half full, rather than half empty more often reports being happy. AlterNet "In the last few years, psychologists and researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy?

But a little-known company called JetAngel is locked in a nasty trademark battle with Pfizer after placing the Viva Viagra logo on a missile that was paraded through Manhattan last month and even stopped in front of the drugmaker’s 42nd Street headquarters. Why? JetAngel specializes in an unusual form of outdoor advertising - placing logos on military equipment that is transported around for visibility. The concept “takes the target marketing capabilities of mobile billboards and adds an experience for consumers to achieve the ultimate viewer captivation.

The city is gearing up for the Toronto Film Festival, or for those in the know, TIFF. I’ve never really participated in the festival. When I think of it, I think of the hundreds of people lined up waiting to get in to where ever they are going, all the while reading books and stuff like that. However there are some parties that go on, and I’ll see if I can get to any. This is all new to me, so I’m not sure how successful I’ll be, but it’s worth a shot.

I'm not a guy that gets rattled (shaken up) very easily. Just a month ago I pretty much laughed off an incident when Buddy Boy got ahold of Liz's car keys and started up the car in the garage.
