He captures the skies.And I look at his photos in awe. Miss you, honey!Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket,but on a stand, and it gives great light to all in the house.In the same way, let your light shine before others,that they may see your good works and give glory to your Fatherwho is in heaven. (Matthew 5:15-16)It is tempting, at times, to listen to the hushing voices that would have you question your walk with God or authenticity of your faith. But He is not a quiet God who listens to other voices. He lights our skies day and night with the most fantastic, ever-changing display of color, light, and even sound and fury, for all men to see...and even enjoy.I...

I grinned to myself. It was on my way to work, through a beautiful city park, with the sun rising over the hillside. The morning radio program reported the news that a California judge overturned their state’s ban on gay marriage. I know what you’re thinking: A medical blog is running amuck right into a political hornet’s nest. But isn’t it true that a nation’s kindness is a defining characteristic? America and Americans do much that is good and right. Examples of such goodness are too numerous to list. If you are a victim of a calamity, you can be sure that America will help. Ask Haiti. And it’s not just foreign countries, we help each other. There’s a flood and then there are volunteers. A powe...

MitchellThis new video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity explains how last year’s so-called stimulus was a flop – and also reveals why politicians are pushing for another big-government spending bill. Interestingly, since last year’s stimulus was such a disaster, the redistributionists in Washington are calling their new proposal a “jobs bill.” But as I say in the video, this is akin to putting perfume on a hog. For further background, here is a video explaining why Keynesian economics is wrong and another predicting (in advance!) that last year’s stimulus would be a mistake. And just in case anyone actually wants the economy to grow faster, here’s one about policies that actually increase prosperity. (Source: Cato-at-liber...

So, we were talking at Capsule the other day and here is a timeline we came up with. This surely isn’t a complete list, and we’re sure there are other significant efforts that should be included. We tried to keep it focused on successful implementations in a production environment of a system extracting data from a medical device into a clinical information system. So let us know what you think is missing! 1970’s and 1980’s Early systems evolved from research work performed in some of the large university teaching hospitals. For more background – see this link.

This breakthrough, however, came about with induced pluripotent stem cells created from patient skin cells and bone marrow. From the story:Harvard scientists made the announcement on Thursday that they have developed 20 new stem cell lines which could lead to treatments and cures for diseases such as Parkinson’s Down Syndrome, diabetes, etc.The new stem cell lines were taken from patients who already had a genetic illness, and are based on regular skin cells and bone marrow.Yes, yes, I know: ESCR was needed to develop iPSCs. But most, if not all, of that research was done with Bush approved cell lines. Moreover, as I have argued, I beli...

Her friend was overprotective of her little cat since it was diagnosed with diabetes. The cat was put on insulin injections. She also upgraded the entire posse of cats to low-carb cat food. Routinely she took her cat to the vet to have the blood sugar levels checked ($75 a pop!) So far, so good - the story is mundane until her friend left for a vacation and boarded the cat at the Vet's for the week. All week her friend was worried about the welfare of her cat - even though she was safely under the watchful eye of the vet. As it turns out, upon her return from vacation - the vet notif...
