When Will I Learn?
The answer is not anytime soon. Yesterday I went to a craft show and had a booth. I had a blast. I sold tons of my stuff and had a lot of fun at the same time. I might have even made a new friend.But obviously I am not the best candidate to leave home at 620 AM to get to the show at 7 AM, set up my booth, sit and stand for hours, and break down my booth, and drive home to get home at 530 PM. I also lifted things, dragged things, set up folding tables and a canopy. I pulled things out of my car and then put them back in. I did all those things my doctors are telling me not to do - lift, carry, twist, push, pull, etc.Today I...

Looking Toward Assisted Living: Strategies for Downsizing
For most seniors, moving from their home of many years into an assisted living facility is difficult. For some, it's nearly paralyzing. Even if they are moving to a very nice assisted living environment, the move will likely mean a significant loss of space, especially if they are leaving a house. Downsizing – the term often used for weaning ourselves from long-time possessions – can be hard for anyone. When it's more or less forced upon someone because of age or infirmity, the process becomes even tougher.

Muddy Waters Alleges St Jude ’ s Devices Vulnerable to Cyberattack
In this report, MWR suggests STJ has been negligent in not addressing blatant data security vulnerabilities.
MedSec was founded 18 months ago by a team of researchers in Miami. They immediately undertook an effort to research a set of medical device systems, including the STJ system.
In an interview, MedSec CEO, Justine Bone described the following rationale for the decision to disclose:
MedSec researchers found that the STJ products were exceptionally lax in their data security when compared to the other manufacturer’s products they investigated over the past 18 months (see the supporting table comparing STJ to 3 o...

EpiPen may still be too cheap
Good stuff, cheap
Pick up a newspaper or surf the web and you’ll find story after story taking Mylan to task for EpiPen pricing practices. The list price of a 2-pack has soared from about $100 to $600 over the past decade. The price is deemed too high and the rate of increase is considered particularly unconscionable.
Let me offer a brief counterargument:
EpiPen is worth the price. A $300 pen regularly rescues children from anaphylactic shock that would otherwise be fatal, offering them the chance to live to 100 instead of dying at 10. (About 20% of patients need a second dose, which is why these devices ar...

Just like Atkins ’ . . . only better
This question comes up with some regularity: Is the Wheat Belly lifestyle like the Atkins’ diet? Is Wheat Belly just another name for a low-carb diet?
There are indeed some important areas of overlap. The Wheat Belly lifestyle, for instance, adheres to the concept that carbohydrates, not fats, are responsible for destructive health effects and weight gain. We also need to give Dr. Robert Atkins and his low-carb predecessors great credit for voicing their opinions during an age when low-carb was an heretical, against-the-mainstream concept, given the antics of Dr. Ancel Keys, Dr. Henry Blackburn, the US Department of ...

Trump Has No Real Plan to Defeat ISIS
The bignews from Donald Trump counterterrorismspeech Monday is his proposal for an “ideological litmus test” to screen Muslim immigrants, which comes in lieu of his prior call to ban them outright. The focus here is the rest of Trump’s speech, which consists largely of shaky facts meant to exaggerate the terrorist threat to the United States, dubious arguments meant to blame President Obama and Hillary Clinton for that threat, self-congratulation for having taken smarter positions, which requires some invention, plus a touch of hisspecialinnuendo.What ’s lacking, unsurprisingly, are new policy proposals. After all ...

Back To Reality
Groan! We were on vacation for two weeks. Most of the time we were on the ocean. We have been home for a few days already but I allowed myself to stay in vacation mode until this morning.

School Choice Lawsuits Update: Summer 2016 Edition
As school choice wins in the court of public opinion, opponents have resorted to fighting it in the courts of law.

Tahcheen-e Esfenaj (Baked Persian Rice Cake with Lamb, Spinach & Prunes)
I must apologize for the infrequency of my blog posts over the past year. My new position at the medical school has kept me much busier than I’d ever imagined. Now, a year later, things are finally settling in and I’m hoping to bring this blog thing back to life, if only because the act of writing truly grounds me.
One of the better parts of my new position has been getting to know our Qatar-based medical school faculty and staff, who sent me the most amazing Persian cookbook – Saraban: A Chef’s Journey through Persia by Greg and Lucy Malouf. (Thank you Shahrad and team!)
This is a cookbook tha...

Why Do We Need To Be So Precise?
Remember when we were children and the weather man would say things like ' tomorrow should be warmer than today and there is a good chance it will rain in the afternoon ' ? Now its more like: ' Tomorrow will be about five degrees warmer than today and there is a 40% chance of scattered showers tomorrow afternoon ' .You used to get stuck in traffic and you would listen to the radio or talk to the other people in the car and figure out you will get moving again soon. Now Waze tells us the slowdown will add 7 minutes. Is that really important?And the biggest one is with analog (hands) clocks and watches we said it was around ...
