In this two-part interview I discuss critical thinking with Stephen Haggerty. What is the primary goal of critical thinking? If I am a critical thinker, I am thinking things through before making choices.  In other words, a fundamental goal of critical thinking is to be able to consider multiple perspectives before deciding to act upon information, a person’s request, or even something like buying car or a house. A critical thinker in school will be more success...

CalabriaThe Washington Post reported today that the increase in January home sales was driven mainly by an increase in all-cash sales.  Whereas I would have thought increasing sales, especially driven by cash buyers, was a sign of market strength; the Post and the National Association of Realtors portrayed this as a bad thing.  NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun went so far as to call this portion of the market "unhealthy." Of course, what NAR and the rest of the real estate lobby were complaining about was that home sales and prices were not being driven by easy credit.  For the housing industry, it would seem that the "correct" house price is the price that is propped up by loose credit.  Yun goes on to say that "investors are taking the advantage of conditions to purchas...

It must be some kind of misguided resistance to progressivism. Or maybe it’s someone finally taking a stand against a power-grabbing government program. But it’s actually about something else entirely. And if you don’t know what it is, you won’t understand why the Virginia court ruled the way it did. Here’s the secret: The U.S. Constitution grants to the federal government certain powers. These are things like raising an army, controlling currency and establishing courts. It also gives it the power to regulate interstate commerce, through something called the “Commerce Clause.” Everything else is the domain of the states. Notice that the Commerce Clause only gives the federal government po...

I talk about the potential harmful effects of the ingredients of a product like this. As of this posting there have been a number of states, colleges, and universities who have taken steps to ban these type of beverages.   At the end of the interview, I talk about how I don’t think banning a product like this is going to solve the problem. In the article “Banning Four Loko Doesn’t Solve Problems,” Alex Belz from The North Wind explains: It seems these health officials are either unaware of or choosing to ignore the fact that combining a caffeinated beverage with an alcoholic one is a time-tested...

I start to mourn the ending of summer when I hear the cicadas grow louder the last two weeks of August and when I feel the crispness in the air at that time, which brings less sunlight and longer nights. Then the back-to-school craze: buying shoes, supplies, backpacks, etc. and trying to catch up on the homework we didn’t do during June and July. By the time I make it to the parent-teacher conferences in early September, when I hear about all the things I’m supposed to be doing with the kids, I’m well into panic mode.

(photo: Thinkstock) If you’ve got a closet full of unworn clothes and a credit card bill through the roof, chances are you’re an impulse shopper. You see something; you want it; you buy it. This could be because your brain has more dopamine in it than your more cautious friends. High levels of dopamine cause people to act rashly, which would explain that pair of hot pink pleather pants in the back of your closet.

Women have been trying to sell their breast milk on Craigslist and eBay. So it was bound to happen eventually. A site has been set up to buy and sell breast milk.

Given the central role of federal housing policy, particularly Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in our recent financial crisis, it is worth following Professor Gyourko’s suggestion and question whether a national policy of ownership, all the time for everyone, really makes sense. Professor Gyourko’s five myths: 1.  Housing is a great long-term investment. 2.  The homebuyer tax credit makes buying a house more affordable. 3.  Homeowners are better citizens. 4.  It’s safe to buy a house with a very low downpayment. 5.  Owning is always cheaper than renting.

Although, I do tend to ramble on occasion. Thankfully I type reasonably fast. In some of my EMR readings of late I came across something that sounds similar to what I’ve talked about doing for EMR. They call it an EMR Buying Seminar. Sure, there have been a ton of EMR seminars lately. In fact, I did an EMR presentation in Austin myself. However, what struck me about this seminar is that it said it was the 10th annual EMR Buying Seminar. That’s a lot of years. Of course, the thing I like least about this seminar is that it’s focused on hospital EMR systems. If you’ve read here much, you know I’m more of an ambulatory EMR kind of guy.

England’s Department of Health says that “there were around 100,000 new cases of swine flu in England in the week ending July 17 — nearly double the number of cases for the previous seven days.” As a result, folks are stocking up on anything that could help them in a health emergency. Surgical masks are always one of the first things to go, but they are also buying things like antibacterial hand soap as well. Some pharmacies say they have more stock in for weeks or months.

John D. Rockefeller had a tongue-in-cheek reply to the query, “Just a little bit more,” while an entire countermovement scoffs at the notion that joy and contentment can be purchased, arguing that money is not the root of all happiness, but of all evil. What does psychology have to say on the subject? According to a new San Francisco State University study, both camps are partially right: money can lead to greater happiness for the person possessing it and those around them, if it is used to buy experiences, not possessions. According to SFU’s February 7 press release, the study by Ryan Howell, an assistant professor of psychology at SFU, “demonstrates that experiential purchases, such as a me...

That is happening now, and the scientists are none too happy about. And, as I predicted, the push is on to permit buying eggs for cloning research.But we've discussed that before here at SHS. The good news in the latest report from the AP about the push to allow eggs to be purchased for research, byline Mrcus Wohlsen, actually discussed the risks to women.

But do they really know where those drugs are coming from and if they’re even safe? Given the state of pharmaceutical manufacturing in China, one has to wonder. There’s room for cruel irony here. In any event, here’s the party line, no pun intended: The PLA claims that online purchasing helped cut pharmaceutical costs in 2007, when it only spent 79 million yuan, or about $11 million, out of a 100 million yuan budget for the 32 most commonly purchased drugs, the Xinhua news agency reports. The savings were achieved by soliciting large-volume online bids and dispersing purchases across provincial lines, according to Li Jianhua, the director of the health bureau of the PLA’s General Logistics Department.
