I've known Jane Mogel since we were freshman in college—50 years!!! And her smart, funny, charming husband, Peter Pitts for almost as long. I went to their wedding in the mid 80's. Jane has a successful business as an interior designer and Peter has a global trotting business as the co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest. His research, reporting and public appearances range from the New York Times to The Daily Show with John Stewart. Though I don't usually have close friends on, (I'm trying to be a real shrink, remember?!!), I make an exception here so Jane and I can exchange some college stories and we can talk about Jane and Peter's parenting adventures with their two boys, Jeremy and Ben, now both in their mid-thirties and doing well. Jane would invite me to stay with her family in New York City in the later 70's and her parents were a big influence on me. They were very sophisticated for a young person like me and they opened my mind to a lot of new things. Her father, Len Mogel was the publisher of the National Lampoon in it's heyday, so some fun stories from that time too. I moved to the East Village right after college and Jane had her own place in the city by then, so we had a lot of fun running around NYC in those years too!

When most people think of college, they actually think of large public and private universities or community colleges. But what about all of those tiny, often overlooked gems sprinkled like stars across the firmament of higher education? Amy and Mike invited admissions expert V. Peter Pitts to sing the praises of attending a small college. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What kind of school qualifies as a “small” college? What is different or unique about attending a small college? Do small colleges necessarily offer fewer opportunities than larger schools? What kind of student thrives in a small college environment? How can a student attending a large university create a 'small college' experience? MEET OUR GUEST Peter Pitts recently retired from 42 years in the College Admission profession, most recently with Monmouth College of Illinois. Over his 27 years at Monmouth, he recruited over 2,000 students and still keeps in touch with many of them. He is originally from Iowa, and has an undergraduate degree from Wartburg College (IA) and a Master's Degree from the University of Iowa, both degrees in Sociology. In his retirement, Peter publishes a website–U3K4College.com–that celebrates small private colleges. He also gives presentations to high school classes about a variety of college admission topics. His latest book is Common Sense Guide to Choosing a College---Making a Case for Small Residential Colleges.

A discussion on scary health issues and corruption took place with special guest, Professor Peter Pitts. Peter Pitts is President and co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, and a former member of the United States Senior Executive Service and Associate Commissioner of the US Food & Drug Administration where of his many tasks. He served as senior communications and policy adviser to the Commissioner. Professor Pitts discussed how parents have been in panic over the baby formula shortage, what caused this shortage, and what the FDA is doing to prevent it from continuing. He also explained why it has taken so long to fix the baby formula shortage, and who is to blame. He went into detail about when it became of knowledge that there was a problem, and also that there was purposeful hiding from the FDA about the manufacturing problems. The other scary issue discussed was security breaches on medical devices. In April of this year the Department of Health and Human Services posted an alert to healthcare agencies of an exceptionallyaggressive ransomware group targeting hospitals and healthcare facilities. There can actually be an unauthorized person or persons who will attack and take full control of system access, remote code execution, change configuration, file system read accession, log information access, and also denial of service. We are NOT prepared for this. Not all medical facilities are prepared for this. Another issue discussed was that WTO World Trade Organization has been trying to stop the stealing of Covid 19 vaccinepatents, and about the monkeypox vaccine that is really the smallpox vaccine, and how health has really turned into a business. Dr. Pitts recently published his new book, The Next Normal on how we can apply the lessons learned from COVID-19 to advance other areas of healthcare.

Featuring Former FDA Associate Commissioner Peter Pitts On Blue States Mask Mandates by Kevin McCullough Radio

Jane Anne Banyra looks at visualizing our goals and what is to be done to get into a force of habit.

13 U.S. service members were killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport on Thursday by a suicide bomber. It was the single largest loss of life for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in more than a decade. President Biden on Thursday vowed to retaliate against the terrorists involved in killing U.S. soldiers. The evacuation out of Afghanistan continues as August 31st gets closer for the U.S. to full withdrawal from the country. Jared speaks with FOX News Pentagon Reporter Lucas Tomlinson, who has been covering the withdrawal and evacuations out of Afghanistan since the beginning about this week's deadly attack and the President's response. Earlier this week the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 16 years and older. While coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson have all previously been granted emergency use authorization (EUA), the FDA's full approval of the Pfizer vaccine is a huge milestone, especially for those Americans who were vaccine-hesitant and contributing to low vaccination rates in the U.S. Jared speaks with former Food and Drug Administration associate commissioner, Peter Pitts about why it's important if he thinks Moderna and Johnson and Johnson will get full FDA approval and if he thinks this will help those who are vaccine-hesitant finally get vaccinated against the virus.

President Trump has simultaneously talked down the power of Covid-19 while trying to push up the release date for a vaccine against the coronavirus. This dissonance has turned many Americans against taking a vaccine once one is developed. Peter Pitts of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest says for a vaccine to sharply reduce infections of Covid-19, 60% or more of Americans must take it. Anything less, he says, could mean big trouble.
