Singulair
It is being reported in the News that the FDA is investigating Singulair and the reports of mood changes, suicidal behavior in people taking Singulair.
Why did this get my attention?
Well, if you have listened to any of the drug commercials these days. It is absolutely ridiculous. Most of them sound …
Asthma Inhaler
My wife went to get her asthma inhaler and was told by the pharmacist that her particular asthma inhaler was no longer being prescribed and they would get her a new one. No big deal I guess, except the reason they gave.
Seems the asthma inhaler she has been using for …
Egyptian cleric tells Obama to convert to Islam
Click here for the video You, Obama, are among those who have pledged before Allah – Allah who created you, sustained you, and brought you to this position – to be a Muslim who believes that Allah is the one God, especially since you have some kind of roots in Islam. Convert to Islam, and you will be saved. All glory and honor lie in following Allah and His messenger Muhammad. Know that the true religion is the religion of Islam, and all other religions are fabricated religions, which are
Obama Policymakers Turn to Campaign Tools
Network of Supporters Tapped on Health-Care Issues By Ceci Connolly Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, December 4, 2008; Page A01 Barack Obama's incoming administration has begun to draw on the high-tech organizational tools that helped get him elected to lay the groundwork for an attempt to restructure the U.S. health-care system.

One Hundred Years of Debate on Concealed Carry
So, everybody at Vandy and their grandmother has weighed in on concealed carry as of late: Mike Warren wrote an editorial for the Hustler many moons ago about how lifting the ban on handguns on campus would deter the somewhat frequent muggings. Stuart Hill responded in the negative, referencing Virginia Tech. The debate in the December issue of the Torch is on concealed carry (with the stupidest titles we could think of): Trevor Williams's "99 Problems, But Guns Ain't One" vs. Douglas Kurdziel
I read an Op-Ed in Washington Post this morning that I kept meaning to link to, but never found the time. The day is winding down now, so here ya go. Sebastian Mallaby's "Capitalism: The Remix" suggests that uninformed whiners like myself oughtta take a deep breath, 'cause the free market ain't goin' nowhere. Even before the financial crisis, government was expanding. Public spending as a share of the economy jumped under President Bush, and regulation increased, too, notably in the form of

And the sun goes down..
San Francisco. Beautiful city. Beautiful sunsets. Took these after setting up for Bazaar Bizarre while waiting for dinner at Pier 39 (I know--how horribly touristy!) But we were starvin', kay? Just another shout out to thank you for your hugs during this crappy time. I tried to find a better word, but crappy just seems to work for me. A few of you have commented on how well I seem to be doing, how I can possibly find the energy for shows, etc. The blog, like a lot of things in life, is a

An Absolute: Doctors Don't Kill
That's the title of an OpEd in today's Raleigh News & Observer, written by Charles van der Horst, a professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. LINK Here's an excerpt: Since 1977, when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized executions after a five-year pause, more than a thousand people have been killed. The messiness of hanging, firing squads, electrocution and gas has limited the use of those methods, leaving lethal injection as the only acceptable option. To be
Any Discouraged Pastors Out There?
I was on a phone call recently with Eric Schumacher (funny last name, huh?), pastor of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, IA, where he talked about several steps pastors can take to overcome their own discouragement. I share them with you along with a prayer that this season might be one of joy and encouragement. 1) Meditate on Scripture, particularly on the Gospel, and pray. You will find in the Scriptures multiple examples of people in worse situations than those you are facing, situ

Egyptian Cleric Calls on Obama to Return to his Islamic Origins and Convert to Islam.....
Islamophobe..... Hassan Abu Al-Ashbal: Let me take this opportunity to address the leader of Europe, and the leader of America, who is the leader of the world, the recently-elected Obama, who is the leader of the Byzantines – he is like the Byzantine leaders in the days of Prophet Muhammad. My message to him is three-fold. First, I invite him to convert to Islam. This is the call of the Prophet and of Allah. Oh Obama – convert to Islam, and you will be saved. I hope that Allah will reward
How useful is body fat % as a barometer of health?
I just had a body composition test, which found that I’m at 7.8% body fat. (I’m 5’11.5” tall and weigh 172 pounds.) I was pleased with the results, as I was down from 8.6% body fat since my last test in July 2008, but it got me thinking: Just how useful is body fat percentage as a barometer of overall health? - Mark, Pa. Great question, Mark. Obviously your body fat is low indicating good physical shape. I ran this by two sports nutritionists I respect on our ING New York City Marathon Sports n
Also Fond of "The Sultan of Suite"
Today is a self-imposed low-key day for me: I am studiously avoiding any kind of strain that might make me have to go to that palace of delights known as labor and delivery, also known as The Place Where Good Births Go To Die. That's perhaps harsh, because it doesn't take into account the good work by triage nurses and obstetricians and midwives who don't think of a pregnant woman as someone with a serious condition or someone who is irredemably sick and needs to be "fixed". However, since We
Kayne West's nurse cousin now being investigated in Donda West case
The death of Donda West, mother of hip-hop star Kanye West, the day after undergoing plastic surgery last year was big news. The surgeon involved in the case received a great deal of criticism and the implication was that he'd commit ed some horrible malpractice on Mrs. West.I talked about this last Spring (see here), going over the autopsy report that was released online. The report vindicated Dr. Adams of some technical mishap, but was inconclusive on what actually caused her death. I speculat

Shock Therapy
It’s official. Later this month I’ll be undergoing ECT. The website - http://ect.org - describes the procedure in this way: It is unlike any other treatment in psychiatry, a therapy that still arouses such passionate controversy after 60 years that supporters and opponents cannot even agree on its name. Proponents call it electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT. They say it is an unfairly maligned, poorly understood and remarkably effective treatment for intractable depression
