It’s an academic look at connections, for all of you who want more proof you should make time to connect with smart people. Enjoy! Decades of statistical research have demonstrated that professionals need to think elastically about the people in their idea networks. For example, repeated studies have shown that the longer a project team stays together without significant changes in its composition, the less likely it is to come up with ideas that lead to innovations. This is largely because members of long-running teams get into the habit of culling their ideas from a narrow band of sources: one another. They’re less likely to communicate with people working on o...

June 30, 2011 Today I got a little emotional at my annual checkup. Come with me on the way-back machine to August 9, 2001, the day severe abdominal pain sent me to the emergency room. On call that night was Dr. Steve E. Buie, my family practice physician since 1988. He ordered a physical exam, CA-125 blood test, Xray, ultrasound and CT scan. Two days later, Dr. Buie came into my hospital room and announced, “We think you have ovarian cancer.” (For the record: Some women with identical symptoms — bloating, gas pain — go undiagnosed for months or even years. Meanwhile, the cancer spreads.) Dr. Buie insisted I see a gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Verda Hunter. One month after my visit to the emergency room, Dr. Hunter — whom I also credit wit...

This perception has led people to view managers as parasites, which according to new scientific data may be more correct than we previously thought.

In a bombshell new development in the AL GORE sex scandal — broken EXCLUSIVELY earlier today by The ENQUIRER — the Oregon District Attorney says there’s “the possibility of a criminal prosecution.”  In a statement just released by Multnomah County (OR.) D.A. Michael D. Schrunk, the official reveals that “our office was notified by the Portland Police Bureau that further investigation of this matter had been conducted by it in 2009 and we were provided with the reports from that further investigation.”  Schrunk goes on to add: “If the complainant and the Portland Police Bureau wish to pursue the possibility of a criminal prosecution, a...

The channel has a new non-profit initiative to feed the hungry called Hunt.Fish.Feed., and the basic idea is that hunters bring their kill (and fishers bring their catch) to impoverished people in Los Angeles, including those in shelters. The thought of a burly hunter slamming a dead deer carcass onto a soup kitchen table make us snicker, but it’s hard to criticize a program whose goal is to feed the hungry. We do wonder if the organization could have used the money spent on bullets, transportation, permits, and butchering to get a lot of fruits and vegetables for L.A.’s hungry, though. As Care2 also points o...

It deserves its credit, but the performance itself, production of the video, its selection, dissemination, and promotion (Twitter users, YouTube) are all amateur or amateur supported by a professionally managed, ad-supported platform.

Looks like a cat-bites-toy tale to me. After months of public denials, John Edwards has finally admitted he’s the father of Rielle Hunter’s 22-month-old baby girl. Yes, Edwards proved less trustworthy than his John-Boy looks suggested, but I thought Washington was used to that. I feel sorry for John. He’s ripped right out of the pages of a Shakespearean tragedy. The word “scandal” will forever be attached to his name. My advice to him is to devote the rest of his life to obscurity and philanthropy. Despite all the game changing in Washington, I just can’t bring myself to pile on Elizabeth Edwards. I feel bad for her, but I ...

His first port of call was an ice cream factory in New York City’s Chinatown to sample dorian ice cream. Dorian, a fruit that’s has been cultivated in southeast Asia since prehistoric times, is loved by many Asian communities. It’s odd appearance (think football with spikes) and abhorent rotten garbage smell, though, has prevented the fruit from become popular in the western world. One look at Dr Manny’s face when he was trying this and it’s pretty obvious that the ice cream doesn’t kill the smell. As for it’s health benefits, apparently it is thought to act as an aphrodisiac!!! The n...

Wind swallows words, and faces freeze beneath ice and snow. She wakes with a start. She rises, lies down, comforts herself with memories of another time before cities, before textbooks before patients who smiled and joked and died. No matter what she did, they died. She recalls a night on her father’s farm. Southern gusts swayed the moon-tipped trees and above her were the only gods she knew. She made a pact: The stars would protect her and she would save lives. She was just a child then, and even in Nebraska summer seemed endless and full of promise.

Winners: John McCain reasserted himself in tonight’s debate as an experienced politician. Remember McCain beat George W Bush in New Hampshire in 2000. Rudy held his own (despite Fox’s Frank Lunz’s New Hampshire focus groups) made NO errors and looked Presidential. He remains the national frontrunner.

The Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is a nuisance.
