Legacy Journal: Friday Final Edition: Philanthropy, mandates, and Spring in the Rockies

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
* George Will recently brought to our attention that Compassionate Conservatives a better givers than Liberals

That reminds us of a recently passed health insurance coverage mandate in Arizona. It is for an expensive, intense, and unproven treatment for early childhood autism. This is an example of a non-evidence based public policy favoring a small group at the expense of others including rate payers and those denied benefits of expensive but clinically effective treatments like organ transplants.

* This week a group of global warming gurus are meeting in Aspen, Colorado where the ski season has been spectacular. One story has been on large sea ice sheets become detached and exposing the face and underbelly advancing glaciers. One Stanford based “Climate Scientist” with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering appears to be concerned about the heat generated by the rock on rock rubbing at the glacial - gravel interface. The result is water that lubricates and accelerates the glacially march to the sea where may tend to change local salinity and raise ocean levels over centuries. Hum.

Main:
: It appears that Conservatives contribute both time and treasure to causes that are often faith based. Yes, Mormons are expected to tithe. Environmental
preachers are not.

:: Special interest insurance mandates are an example of an economic moral hazard. In the case of mandating coverage of chest spiral CT for screening smokers for early lung cancer appears to also included an unknown financial conflict of interest on the part of at least one Columbia University Weil Medical Center radiologist.

::: Meanwhile, the temperature in Aspen last night was a cool 29.

Legacy Journal: Solid Tuesday Knowledge Base

Section:
Commentary

Summary:

“ Many admire, few know.” ---- Hippocrates.

Q: Each member of the U.S. House of Representative is given an allocation for paying the expenses of their offices. What is that amount? What are the restrictions on how these funds are spent?

Useful knowledge sits on a solid time_tested foundation. David Brooks of the nytimes, Robert Betts, MD of URMC, and some physical anthropologists have shed some interesting light on our past, present, and possible future.

* Brooks quotes Isaiah Berlin on politics. That is a good thing.

Betts quotes the medical literature on candida sepsis . That is an instructive thing.

* Scientists examine TB lesions fossilized bones and draw conclusions about vitamin D, sunlight, melanin and patterns of human migration out of Africa. So what does SAD have to do with it?

Main:
: According to Brooks, there may be more to this Clinton vs Obama political primary contest than appeared on the first reading. His essential points are that personal resilience, constancy of character, and a solid world view are necessary for success in office.

:: Robert Betts notes the clinical setting defines the important distinctions between yeast colonization, contamination, and dangerous disease. Most of us carry small amounts if non invasive yeast. Yeast frequently contaminates bladder catheters in women, particularly those on antibiotics. Compared to bacteria, invasive yeast disease is an infrequent cause of death. It is mostly a threat to those on chemotherapy for cancer or post organ transplant immune suppression

::: North bound human migration out of African may have been favored by those mutants with the fewest melanin pigments in the skin. The reason, they were the most efficient vitamin D producers in the low sunlight of the northern latitudes. Interesting, but what about diet as a source of Vitamin D ? What about snow reflected light? For example, cod liver has long been a dietary choice among hunters, gatherers and fishermen in the north.

Meanwhile, scattered sun is forecast this afternoon for Rochester, NY. And, the Russians are doing nuclear deals in Iran. Will the race go the Isaiah Berlin’s metaphorical Hare or to the Hedgehog? Who in congress knows or cares? Pelosi? Boxer? Hunter?

A: One million dollars per year. ??.
