The shooter’s only state reason for doing it was that she didn’t like Mondays.

This is based on mood rating s...

I politely declined, citing the need to avoid conflicts of interest that might occur if I associated myself with a health IT vendor. Like so many other healthcare bloggers, I got an invite one week later to make my blog a "Notable Wellsite" on Wellsphere. Again, I politely declined.I thought about it a bit more, then reconsidered after coming to believe that Wellsphere was more aggregator than vendor. At the health 2.0 conference in San Francisco last October, I met with Wellsphere CMIO Dr. Geoff Rutledge. Shortly thereafter, Rutledge sent me a personalized e-mail inviting me to join. For some reason, I never followed up.Then on Thursday I heard that Wellsphere had ag...

The concept is to create a seperate space that functions in a multi-sensory way and provide the right kind of stimulation.Any of us who have taken care of someone with Alzheimer's have experienced how changes in the surroundings seem to trigger certain types of reactions.

But I did want to mention that yesterday, I received an e-mail that my blog had been chosen as a "Top 10 Diabetes Site" by the experts at HealthCentral.com. As many people know, David Mendosa (whose writing I have followed for nearly a decade now) is one of the diabetes bloggers at HealthCentral, so I am quite honored by this distinction, and since this is my first blogging "award" I wanted to metion it! There are a few more of us from the Diabetes OC including on the list, and I can say, I regularly read all of the winners' blogs (they are all in my own reader)!Anyway, that's all for now.
