Kevin Ware - Inspires athletes & non-athletes

April 2, 2013

Reblogged from HealthCetera - CHMP's Blog: On Sunday evening during the Louisville Cardinal vs Duke NCAA Elite Eight tournament game millions of television viewers witnessed Louisville Cardinal sophomore guard Kevin Ware's awkward fall to the ground, after trying to block a 3-point shot, resulting in a compound fracture of his leg that left his teammates in tears. […]

How about a “news” hour that breaks the mold?

April 2, 2013

0

Yes, here it is – “All In with Chris Hayes!”  I have been a fan of his week-end show, and the new prime-time 8 pm week-day show is just as interesting and thought-provoking as his week-end show — and different from anything else in the week-night “news and politics” lineup.  One of the terrific things […]

New Peace & Power Web Site and Blog!

March 17, 2013

2

I am delighted to unveil the new Peace & Power web site and blog!  Many folks who read this blog already know about the book Peace and Power that I have authored since 1984.  Now, the web site adds two important dimensions to what the book offers. First, now many of the conversations that happen face-to-face […]

Reflections on why we all can’t “just get along”

March 13, 2013

1

The words are so easy .. “let’s just all get along.”  But the actions are so very hard.  My thoughts have turned to this human dilemma recently because I have (finally) developed a web site/blog for my book “Peace and Power.”  And then there is the very contentious, exasperating and tiring clamor that goes on […]

Lessons from puppy kindergarten

March 3, 2013

10

About four months ago, we adopted an adorable 2-month-old YorkiePoo who we named Jazzy.  Until about 10 years ago, I always had dogs, and have loved every one of them dearly.  Then the last of my beloved pugs, Cozie, died, and  Karen and I started traveling more, so having a dog did not seem reasonable […]

Quilts, and women, with a history!

February 14, 2013

Recently I discovered that my cousin Margaret and I have matching quilts made by our mother’s sisters, Bettie and Hilda.  These quilts were made in the 1930′s and the discovery that there are two of them prompted me to post information on my “Peggy’s Quilts” web site about the quilts and how Margaret and I […]

Feminism is not dead, and neither is this blog!

February 11, 2013

Well perhaps this blog has been bogged down lately, and perhaps some folks feel that feminism has taken a back seat if not bogged down or dead.  But in fact, these perceptions are far from reality!  My blog story is the easy one — I have been busy on other blogs (ANS in particular) but […]

The dawn of possibility for health care – meaning HEALTH – not just medical care

September 28, 2012

12

I admit it .. I am quite a fan of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  Like a host of others I would prefer, of course, a single payer plan.  But this law is a great start. If it serves to give our nation evidence that medical care costs can be contained, and even lowered, with […]

Twitter for a digital immigrant

September 11, 2012

6

Finally, I am a twitter nut!  Ordinarily I am the first one in line for the latest and the greatest, but twitter has simply eluded my comprehension. Twitter has made me feel like a visitor to a foreign land where certain delicacies the natives savor just seem unapproachable to me. As a print native immigrating […]

Truth, Reason and Integrity

September 1, 2012

2

My last post was over 3 months ago!  The truth is that I could pull any number of reasons out of the atmosphere and any explanation would suit as well as the next!  The fact is that this admission brings me to what has inspired this post over the week-end between the Republican and the […]
