Musician's injuries difficult to treat. "Musicians' injuries are as numerous as their instruments: fiddler's neck, tuba lips, violinist's jaw, horn player's palsy — even guitar nipples and harpist's cramp. And the flute is a "biomechanically impossible" instrument to play, says Scott Brown, chief of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Baltimore's Sinai Hospital." One suggestion: take your instrument to the doctor so you can check your posture.
New regulations to protect patient privacy may make it difficult to find out if a friend or family member's been admitted or treated at a hospital. Why? Example: "one diabetic patient who started getting unsolicited calls and mail at home from diabetic-supply distributors who appeared to know what medications he was taking. "
Nurse shortage increases recruitment focus on men Wonder if that works any better than recruiting women into programming?
Preemies increase along with older mothers & fertility treatment. "Even bed rest, the most popular prescription for delaying or ending preterm labor, especially in pregnancies with more than one fetus, is ineffective and may sometimes make matters worse"
New book says "Strange Fruit" was written by a Jewish American
A pap test-style screen for anal cancer, targeted at those who have anal sex? Oh, right, targeted at gay men, cause they're the only people who have anal sex.
Review of Friday's show, stuff about the band, and a good article on what Steve's up to with Silvio, touring, and the underground garage. "We go back to about '65. In those days, if you were in a band, you were friends. And a few years later, '67, if you had long hair, you were friends. If you were in a band and had long hair, you were best friends. That's kinda how we came together. [...] "The idea of playing rock 'n' roll as your life's work, that was really weird. You had to be quite nutty, a freak. If you could do anything else, you did it. We were just completely unqualified for anything else."
"Getting Going" column on limiting financial risk
A *mother* proposing that one should *waste food*? Film at 11.
Fridges & coffee mugs that plug into the dash, insulated bags to hold crockpots The last would be handy for a family potluck on the penisula.
Seder time "Passover reminds us that to fully appreciate the meaning of freedom we must understand the suffering that preceded it and the sacrifice with which it was achieved. It reminds us that when we celebrate our triumphs, we should forget neither our own casualties nor those of our enemies."
New Fleetwood Mac album coming out Tuesday. Christine decided to stay home at her castle outside London, so the songs are all by Nicks & Buckingham.
Cats and dogs don't speak the same language. "A frightened or submissive dog will roll over, exposing its stomach. A cat, on the other hand, will roll on to its back when killing prey, or defending itself with its powerful hind legs. So, a dog might look at a cat on its back and think, "Hey. I won. Better go sniff and make peace." The cat, meanwhile, is thinking, "I'll disembowel Fifi if it's the last thing I do.""
Queen Noor's published a memoir
Fyi for anyone else reading this: some of these 'clippings' are from the New York Times, which requires registration to access; others are from the Wall Street Journal, which requires a paid membership (but they often offer 2 weeks free). I subscribe to the WSJ online & read most other papers online.
