The Economy and Health Care Reform

The economy: between health care reform, unemployment, and the budget, it seems like everyone's talking about the economy these days. There are a lot of talking heads on tv, online, and just about everywhere else. So what if you want "Just the facts, ma'am?" I suggest checking out the Beige Book, a brief "State of the Economy"-type document that is published by the Federal Reserve 8 times a year. It's short and provides a very nice snapshot of how the United States is doing. Warning: there are zero pundits beating each other over the head.

Health care reform: in case you were wondering how health care reform might impact your community, check out the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's congressional district-by-district analysis of the reform bill. Need to brush up on the subject so you can figure out what the heck they're talking about? The Wikipedia article on health care reform debate in the United States is a fine place to start. And remember the student loan reform that got tucked into the health care reform bill? Current Saint Martin's University students, you are probably not going to see much of a difference from whatever your current situation is.

A few of my favorite blogs

Boing Boing -- Best. Blog. Ever. If you like science, art, literature, technology, and culture, then Boing Boing is the blog for you. The interests of the contributors are wide-ranging (steampunk, evolutionary biology, design, geek culture, physics, music, privacy and copyright issues) and the rotating weekly guest bloggers bring more in-depth looks at specific topics (New Orleans jazz society, "dangerous" chemistry). You'll never be bored with BoingBoing around.

ShelfTalk -- Reading & viewing recommendations on various topics from the librarians at Seattle Public Library. Want to read more vampire novels? Watch David Tennant? Discover French fiction? Their suggestions can get you started.

On An Overgrown Path -- A former BBC classical music radio DJ covers the classical music world. One of his major interests in the intersection of music and spirituality and the expression of religious faith through music. I've discovered a number of exciting works and composers through this blog.

ScienceBlogs -- The name says it all. Check it out.

March Honors Women

March 8th was the International Women's Day and the month of March honors Women's History. Take a look at womenshistorymonth.gov for a wealth of resources on the subject, brought to you by The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Saint Martin's University women celebrated by reading their poetry and writings during the Friday Faculty Lunch Series last week. Below are some of the faculty and staff reading their work. All photographs by Dr. David Suter.


Anne Guttman reads poems (Acer Macrophyllum, Grey Lady and Submarines)


Teresa Tillson reads poems (The Dowagers , Marie and Albert, The Exchange and The Clumsy Prophet)


Olivia Archibald, reads writing (Awakening and Holy Land)


Julie Yamamoto reads personal stories (Selections from Weekly Updates)

Not pictured here, Kathleen McKain also read her creative nonfiction, Being Flaubert by Way of Borges.

Health Reform

There are potential changes afoot with respect to health care in the United States. On the one hand, you might examine the latest plans set forth from the White House. You might also examine the Republican perspective, thereby gaining a well-rounded view on both sides of this contentious issue.

For all you future policy wonks -- and I know you're out there! -- nothing talks like numbers.

You could look at this lovely collection of U.S. health-related budget data from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
