Here is an update on some of the recent and upcoming radio shows I am doing on health system reform. Some you can listen to them live regarding of where you live by going to Website or downloading “WUNDERRADIO” IPhone App. The App is terrific.
Also, most of the stations post PodCasts of the interviews.

LAGNIAPPE: Have you seen the news reports and email traffic that the Saints will win the Super Bowl when Hell freezes over? Then there is a photo of the Saints winning the Super Bowl following by the freeze and snow storm covering Washington, DC. Also noted is an Igloo home for Vice-president Gore near the Capitol. “Sen. Inhofe, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, told Roll Call newspaper that his family’s ironic tribute to Gore was “really humorous.” Lots of controversy on many issues!
Meanwhile, free discussion of issues difficult in some places around the world. This just in with an Iraniam official stating government control action on Internet in Iran is meant to build trust. With “Big Brother” watching you, can it be far behind that someone knocks on your door if you have a dissenting view? Long live America and Freedom of the Press! Express your view and back it up with facts, not spin.
Technology Alert
from The Wall Street Journal
Iran’s telecommunications agency announced what it described as a permanent suspension of Google’s email services, saying a national email service for Iranian citizens would soon be rolled out.
It wasn’t clear late Wednesday what effect the order had on Gmail services in Iran. Iranian officials have claimed technological advances in the past that they haven’t been able to execute.
Google didn’t have an immediate comment about the announcement.
An Iranian official said the measure was meant to boost local development of Internet technology and to build trust between people and the government.
The measure was announced on the eve of the culmination of celebrations to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Republic. Competing plans for pro-government and antigovernment demonstrations have set the stage for clashes between authorities and opposition protesters, who have taken to the streets repeatedly since contested presidential elections in June.

Finally, Saints parade last night was wonderful! I attended and got some fun photos. The city continues to party and the costumes on Mardi Gras will be fascinating this year! Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) will be February 16 this year.
Stay well,
Donald
