CannonDuring the (initial) congressional debate over ObamaCare, President Obama vilified Anthem Blue Cross of California for a 39 percent rate increase.  On Wednesday, the Hartford Courant reported that ObamaCare itself may increase premiums by similar amounts: Health insurers are asking for immediate rate hikes of more than 20 percent in Connecticut for some plans, citing rising medical costs and federal health reform laws as reasons… In what might appear to be an oddity, companies are citing a huge range of effects that the health care reform mandates will have on plan prices — from near zero to well over 20 percent. The reason is that among all the plans, some already deliver the provisions required by health reform, while others do not… Anthem Blue Cross an...

David has Asperger Syndrome and music—singing, humming—help to “unstick” his mind: At first, his mother says he seemed perfectly normal, even said a few words, until about age 2. “He became non-verbal. And then the humming started.”The humming, for 2 years, constant humming, was followed by notes, and lines and eventually entire songs. Today, he knows hundreds by heart. And although his mind still locks-up with autism, David is convinced he knows the key. “For me, its like being stuck in certain phases. [But I get unstuck] when i sing.” My son Charlie hums a...

I took piano lessons from my elementary school years until I graduated from high school and it really is a thrill for me to see Charlie learn to play himself. I stand beside him when he practices and memory after memory of hours spent practicing the piano floats in. I do concur with neurologist Oliver Sacks about the importance of music lessons on the developing brain, as he notes in a September 24th Wired interview: Wired: From the perspective of neurological development, is it important to gi...
