The move comes after recent attempts by BP and federal agencies using Natural Resource Damage Assessment program. The disclosure was made in the recent issue of AAUP’s Academe magazine, which carries several articles, including one about conflicts of interest standards at medical journals (read here), another that reviews pharmaceutical industry influence on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (see this) and an essay detailing similar concerns in Canada, where the Canadian Association of University Profes...

David Bowden was upset about the way he had been treated by the town of Cary, NC, regarding damage to his property during a road-widening project.  This past July, Bowden hired someone to paint “Screwed By The Town of Cary” on the front of his house.  A few weeks ago, the town gave Bowden seven days to remove the sign or face daily fines — $100 for the first day, $250 for the second, $500 for each subsequent day – for violating a local sign ordinance. That’s when Mark, who’s affiliated with the ACL...

TJ is a unique grocery store chain. Trader Joe's Cary Location Each store stocks a variety of organic produce and other items, including meats and dairy. If you’re looking for high quality without the high prices, you can find it at Trader Joe’s. After hearing my California friends brag about what a great store this was, I was glad to finally get to experience it myself. I visited the Cary Trader Joe’s near Cary Parkway.

It was a great show, and I loved the venue. I plan on going back in the future. Duran Duran was fabulous! You know how some bands don’t sound like themselves at a live performance? I think some musicians have so much in the way of studio enhancements that they can’t match it when they play in front of a live audience. Duran Duran isn’t like that. They sounded great. They’ve been playing some of their stuff for nearly 30 years, so they’ve had a lot of practice. They played a good mix of old and new songs. Is there anyone else who thinks Last Chance On the Stairway and Ordinary World are their best songs ever? We all had a wonderful time, and I’m looking forward to doing it aga... beth's myeloma blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1467113 Sun, 25 May 2008 03:28:05 +0100 1467113 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=936754&cid=t_132652_117_f&fid=34612&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedoctorweighsin.com%2Fjournal%2F2007%2F10%2F9%2Fsorry-theres-no-room-at-the-inn-in-other-words-we-are-not-ta.html Margaret Cary, MD MBA MPHRecently a friend mentioned that her sister had just moved to Boston, was looking for a doctor and asked for a recommendation."Let me contact my friend. He is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and at MIT. I bet he will know the best doctors."Just like old times, right? When you need medical care, you ask a local doctor you trust.His answer? "Big problem.""There are no PCPs (primary care physicians) taking new patients at either MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) or BWH (Boston Women’s Hospital). It is virtually impossible for someone to choose his internist anymore. Everyone's practice is closed. You can go to a practice where a junior person will be building up a panel. Those practices are either institution based, e.g., Hea...

Whilst it’s important to be well presented, that is to say clean and tidy, otherwise, it is not important at all. [translation = not one jot!] Most of us are aware of the pressures upon young women about their appearance. Since I have two girls, I have always been at great pains to concentrate upon their inner characters. Since my eldest daughter is on the cusp of her 26th birthday, I have had a great deal of practice. [translation = self esteem for all children is essential] As a result of all this practice, I am indeed a past master about sweeping aside the frippery and trappings of fashion.

We liked each other immediately.  Zhuo’s story was unique to her but at the same time all too typical of family histories during the Cultural Revolution.  Her father had been taken away in the middle of the night and was eventually killed by Communist Party officials.  They told his wife of his death two years after his execution.Zhuo, her sisters and brother were sent to the country to work the fields.  Her mother was jailed in a basement cell with standing water.  Her life was spared because she spoke Russian, Spanish and English in addition to her...

Go to OpenSecrets.org, and pull the data on lobbying expenditures by the health care sector. You’ll see that this same group represents half of all health care lobbying dollars. (More on that in a post next week.)But with this very focused, provocative and accurate report, Mr. Orszag has won the attention of key legislators as well as, hopefully, non-health care business interests, where the real power lies.  During a time when sound bites about universal coverage pass for meaningful discussion on reform, his analysis provided real c...
