Residents may have noticed the effect of climate change again this year. As I speak with other rose gardeners, I learn that all are finding it more difficult to predict what to do and when as they have in past years. The timing and development of growth is dependent on weather, especially a more constant predictable rhythm of temperatures. This year temperatures and rain fluctuated more than I remember it in recent years. Flower production is affected greatly by inconsistent... Full story

Sinai Health System advised riders that the research “we do today drives medicine we will do tomorrow,” and the hospital system was proud that it ranked among the top four medical schools in the country in research dollars per investigator. I’m used to outlandish and questionable advertising, but this ad rose to a new level. If I were looking for a hospital for a surgical procedure...

It’s more difficult today not to know what’s going on in the world. From print sources, to online media, to 24/7 radio and TV news stations, everybody is working to keep people informed about the news. And it turns out that’s not always a good thing. While people may think it’s important to stay up to date, when so much news and in such detail comes at them every day it can have a negative effect. One recent survey found more than half of Americans reporting that the news caused them stress, made them anxious, tired and eve...
