We shot a few videos, and today’s video is about creating great video content. Even if you’ve never done a video before, or if you have no plan of doing video, you can learn something from this 4 minute video. Here are the notes I took when I watched the video today, with some of my additional thoughts. 1) Know your audience – Who are you talking to? Focus on them, and keep your audience  in mind with every point you make. 2) Connect with and engage the person right away – Put your best point up front. Lead with the meat! All the supporting stuff can come later but if you don’t make the p. 3) Give it some juice – You need to be energetic. Asking a good q...

In his 1988 book The American Job Machine, the economist Richard B. McKenzie pointed out an easy way to create 60 million jobs: “Outlaw farm machinery.” The goal of economic policy should not be job cre...

CalabriaThe standard Keynesian policy proposal for a weak economy is to have the government spend more money, and run deficits to do so.  Clearly much of current government spending is being financed by borrowing.  So current conditions are not subject to the New Deal critique that it was mostly paid for by taxes, as during the Great Depression. Current federal expenditures have increased about 41% since the housing market peaked in 2006.  Has all this government spending generated many jobs?  While keeping in mind that correlation is not the same as causality, it is interesting that the trend in government spending and total non-farm employees mirror one another, but not in the way you’d like.  The more the government has spent, the more people have lost their jobs...

The latest target of EPI’s flawed model is the North American Free Trade Agreement. Enacted in 1994, NAFTA has created a free trade zone comprising the United States, Canada, and Mexico. According to the EPI report, U.S. trade deficits with Mexico as of 2010 displaced production that could have supported 682,900 U.S. jobs; given the pre-NAFTA trade surplus, all of those jobs have been lost or displaced since NAFTA. This estimate of 682,900 net jobs displaced takes into account the additional jobs created by exports to Mexico. The report’s author, Robert Scott, claims it f...

Since that time, several informal discussions have been taking place around the globe in which professionals from pharmaceutical, hospital, government and not-for-profit organizations challenge each other, share ideas, and look to break new ground in healthcare engagement. While attending conferences in New York, London, and Munich during the early part of this year (see where we’ll be next here), Creation Healthcare spent time interviewing just a few of these thought-leaders.

Now, I certainly wasn’t the first physician blogger, but I would probably consider myself “in those early days.” I mean, starting in 2006 was a few years ago.

There were some murmurings amongst the crowd from those who had heard it all before. Refreshingly, at the same conference, Ray Chepesiuk of Canada’s Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board presented a somewhat enlightened and progressive approach to emerging channels such as social media and forums – explaining how his organization established guidance on two-way engagement dating back to 2005.

I suppose I could start with how a news organization that bills itself as “the leading source of nonpartisan reporting” could lend ObamaCare a positive gloss by calling it “reform” — a term that even NPR declines to ascribe to actual legislation (for that reason). Next, there’s this inane question of whether ObamaCare will spur job growth in the health ...

That’s what Schumpeter called “creative destruction.” A longer version of the same phenomenon was on the front page of Monday’s Wall Street Journal, in an article about how Wal-Mart’s rivals secretly fund “grassroots local campaigns” against Wal-Mart, organized by political consulting firms, to protect the existing firms’ positions.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. current account deficit plunged from $706 billion in 2008 to $420 billion last year — the smallest deficit since 2001. I’ve been waiting for a few days now for the usual trade deficit hawks to hail this development as great news for millions of Americans looking for work. In years when the trade deficit was rising, it was common practice for the labor-union-friendly Economic Policy Institute to publish detailed studies showing that larger trade deficits caused the U.S. economy to lose hundreds of thousands of jobs each year. For example, according to an October...

Here’s what they found. THE STIMULUS Obama’s claim: The plan that has made all of this possible, from the tax cuts to the jobs, is the Recovery Act. That’s right — the Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus Bill. Economists on the left and the right say that this bill has helped saved jobs and avert disaster. Back in reality: At the outset of the economic downturn, Cato ran an ad in the nation’s largest newspapers in which more than 300 economists (Nobel laureates among them) signed a statement saying a massive government spending package was among the worst available options.

A different game has become popular during today’s Great Recession. In this game, politicians race against high unemployment to create jobs in order to save their own. The players (politicians) have unlimited tax and borrowing authority, and can call upon friendly economists to help them maneuver. The players even get to keep score, although the media can penalize shoddy scorekeeping. Ultimately, voters will decide which players win and lose in the fall elections. Okay, I’m being facetious.

As a front-page Washington Post story over the long weekend summarized: For most of the past 70 years, the U.S. economy has grown at a steady clip, generating perpetually higher incomes and wealth for American households. But since 2000, the story is starkly different. … According to the story, the Aughts (2000-09) were the first decade since World War Two with no net job creation, and the first in which median household income was actually lower at the end than at the beginning.

I know what you’re thinking (”Uh oh, nerd alert!”).  But trust me, this show (it ended earlier this year) is nothing like some Star Trek crap. There were no rubber-masked aliens or cheesy plots. Just great acting, intense situations, and the fact that it takes place in the far future is just the setting. Anyway, before you hit play, you need to know that the old guy is a robot. He is talking to one of his makers (the blonde lady). Even though the man is a machine, he has been created to be biologically human. You can ignore the Asian chick. Now watch the scene: The dialogue: John (old guy): In all your travels, have you ever seen a star...

Users will sign up, login, and be prompted through a 4-step healthcare decision making process using visuals Maarten den Braber and I developed when trying to describe the evolution of Health 2.0.The site will have zero ads. We won't charge users a subscription fee. We've committed to making this a free-range, public good, and that type of business model is still VERY unique, particularly in healthcare tech.Because we're committed to making Nexthealth an open-source, easily customizable tool for individuals and communities struggling with healthcare decision-making, we're giving away the code.Why are we doing this for free? This isn't the first app the Nexthealth c...

A Catholic priest has removed his church's organist and choir director from her duties saying her sale of sex toys was not "consistent with Church teachings." Linette Servais, 50, played the organ and sung with the choir for 35 years. Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without pay. When her parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to say thank you. Instead, she was told to quit her sales job with company known as Pure Romance or she would lose her position in the church.  Doctor rails against attorneys on his blog, not a good strategy when it is your own malpractice trial you are writing about.
