Reblogged from Healthland: Researchers say they may soon be able to identify babies at high risk of autism as early as 6 months old. Currently, clinicians can’t diagnose autism until toddlers are about 2, when the first behavioral and language symptoms of the developmental disorder become noticeable. There is a push to identify at-risk babies [...]

Why Yoga Is So Misunderstood: How it Has Gone From the Sane to the Bizarre
February 29, 2012
You do not mention by name the current hoopla over John Friend and Anusara Yoga. Clearly, as an American businessman, as a yogi trained in a lineage in India, and as a member of Yoga Alliance, Friend knows about business ethics, yamas and niyamas (I have heard him chant Patanjali’s yoga sutras in Sanskrit from [...]
Why Yoga Is So Misunderstood: How it Has Gone From the Sane to the Bizarre
February 29, 2012
I don’t understand what you mean by “you can’t blame yoga.” I don’t think you have acknowledged Wendyness’ point: your article clearly singles out the dilution of yoga in the West and implies that the yoga taught in a pure tradition in Mysore is superior. Ethics are ethics and humans are humans. I take the [...]

Day 11 – Work smarter, not harder
November 13, 2011
I would like to test out the idea that you can be more effective when you work smarter, not harder. The claim – you can get up and running selling something on the web in virtually no time. The key is to come up with an email list that you use to bring people to [...]
Day 10 – CRM with Oprius

I selected Oprius as my web-based online Contact Relationship Management (CRM) software some time ago, and I would like to utilize it more effectively. There are many features I haven’t explored. My next step is to run through the online tutorials and see what I missed. They also have customer support, so I will ask for [...]
Day 9 – The question game
November 13, 2011
Ann has started a masters group with a few friends who have projects they want to implement. You know how you get a great idea, but since you don’t know the first thing about starting the project, you give up easily and sometimes forget about it? Well, Ann’s idea was to start a little informal [...]
Day 8: The sermon title is “Diverse Like Me”
November 9, 2011
Ann and I have decided to talk about the fourth UU principle: we affirm and promote each individual’s free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We will explore some of the challenges this poses for a congregation, and will highlight some of the traps and pitfalls, in particular, the tendency of judgment and an [...]
Day 7: It is not the engagement for a gig, but the re-engagement
November 9, 2011
This was advice I heard way back when in music school from renowned tenor John McCullum, when he gave a workshop on oratorio singing. He said it is often easy to get hired, but you have to deliver the goods to get asked back again and again. How true. Ann and I were invited to [...]
Day 6: Still behind with these posts but so much is happening
November 9, 2011
There is so much energy going on in my household right now. It is hard to describe. My daughter is at college and doing quite well thank you, and starting to relax a bit as a sophomore, now that the initial changes have occurred. But she is planning to transfer to another college in January. [...]
