I met Michael Gross about four years ago at a favorite local sushi hangout in Oceanside California. I took a seat at the sushi bar and he was sitting right next to me. I did not know who he was, but our mutual friend and sushi chef, Davin Waite, made the introduction. The conversation started easily enough as the man has a lot of compelling things to say. Not really conversation, as I would much... 11/9/2014 10:00:00 PM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Going by the mainstream media, it appears as if Ebola is no longer the big news item it became just a few weeks ago. In fact, some of the members of the "I told you so" brigade (otherwise known as the "Chicken Little mockers") appear to be participating in "Official End of the Ebola Scare" festivities. Reportedly, these ridiculous (to those who know that Ebola and many other Ebola-like disasters will... 11/5/2014 8:00:00 AM

by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Many of us are concerned that our inability to get a good 8 hours of sleep each night may have an adverse effect on our health. Research shows that sleeping 8 hours or more (or 6 hours or less) per night can actually increase your mortality risk. Time Magazine reported results of a study by Daniel Kripke, a sleep psychologist in California, that found that people who get 6 to 7 hours of sleep live... 11/4/2014 10:00:00 PM

The Competition For Your Life
by Janet Valenty
About Me View My Posts
At first blush, it would seem our society deplores competition, except in sports. Even that is being watered down at the youth level as participation awards gain more traction over actual improvement in the skills of the sport. But look a bit deeper, and you may be surprised to discover that competition is not only widespread in almost all aspects of living, but indeed, quite healthy. Let's lightly... 11/4/2014 8:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
It may be a surprise to the twenty-and-thirty-somethings who think they've cornered the market on dating, but there's no “sell-by" date for romance. There are plenty of people in their forties, fifties, sixties and older looking for love. In addition to never-married singles, today's middle-aged and senior singles are getting back in the dating game after losing a partner through a relationship breakup,... 11/2/2014 10:00:00 PM

What Exactly Did We Learn from the 1918 Flu Pandemic?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Actually, there was much to learn from the Influenza pandemic of 1918. Some of the lessons it taught, however, have been lost through the attrition of time, as a result of people (except for professionals in the life sciences and healthcare) losing interest in scientific events outside of their short attention span, and because of a general lack of interest in historical events. Fortunately, the scientific... 10/28/2014 7:00:00 AM

Halloween Humbug
by Rob Greenstein
About Me View My Posts
That I'm not a fan of Halloween is no surprise to anyone who knows me well. It went downhill for me after my mom threw out my favorite Dick Dastardly mask when I was 9. I rarely go to costume parties and I have been known to dim the lights and lay low on the night of in order to avoid even the slightest interaction with a 5-year old pumpkin. I'm the guy that leaves the candy bowl outside and trusts... 10/28/2014 7:00:00 AM

by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Halloween is upon us. But the origin of this tradition has largely been lost on the majority of celebrants. Halloween marks the eve of All Saints Day (alternatively All Hallows' Day), a day of remembrance of the dead, the saintly, martyred, and faithful departed believers. Halloween arose as a way to use humor and ridicule to flout Death.But how did a ritual to mock Death come to involve so much sugar?In... 10/26/2014 10:00:00 PM
