Editor's Note: Born in South Carolina, Daniel Pruitt attended school in Brockway, Beacon and Glenham before graduating from Beacon High School in 1965 and earning degrees from SUNY Stony Brook and The New School for Social Research in New York City. Retired from IBM, he lives in Dunedin, Florida. Below are excerpts from an article that Pruitt researched and wrote in response to our five-part series on the history of Black people in the Highlands, Always Present, Never Seen, published in 2022. Pruitt felt the series could have included more about local Black history from 1850 to 1930. "I felt a personal need to connect the present, which I knew, with the past, which I did not," he wrote. "This past history was never present and never seen as such over my lifetime." We printed an earlier installment in August. Both are excerpted from his book, Lost and Found: Beacon's Black Community 1850-1930, which will be published in June. I grew up in Brockway, a company town for a brickyard that didn't roll out its first products until 1888, 50 years late to the brickmaking party in the Hudson Valley. Edwin Brockway earned his reputation for brick manufacturing in Haverstraw; his purchase of William Mortimer's country seat in 1886 in Fishkill was supposedly for retirement, but his sons pushed him to open another brickyard. Likely inspired by what Homer Ramsdell was doing with the excavation, landfill and physical plant construction at Denning's Point, Brockway built a peninsula on 48 acres of Hudson River surface, using New York City garbage as landfill, and topped it with clay pits, brick machines, kilns and drying yards. He likely filled his workforce with seasonal Black sharecroppers and tenant farmers from North Carolina and Virginia. After brickmaking became year-round, he coaxed those workers to work year-round. He limited their interaction with the white residents of Fishkill Landing (which was combined in 1913 with Matteawan to create Beacon) by building a village to house and tend to their basic needs (school, store, post office). Today, nothing remains of Brockway except the railway trestle that once brought excavated clay drawn by a small locomotive (we called it a "dinky") into the brickyard. Brockway's beginning was secretive, its existence plantation-like and its end by bankruptcy a loss for owner and worker alike. My parents came to Beacon in 1946 to work at the Castle Point VA hospital. My dad's parents, losing the family home in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to a suspicious fire, joined them shortly after. Brockway provided not only Black jobs but Black housing in those duplexes with small areas to garden for the industrious. Pregnant with me, my mom went back to her home in Helena, South Carolina, in 1947 for my midwife birth and first months of life. When my family arrived, Brockway was full of chamber pots and outhouses where toilets were flushed - not often enough - with lye. Water was gathered by the pail from a pipe protruding from a hill and drank at home from dippers. The main road turned to dirt as it snaked down from Route 9D. Clothes were washed in tubs and hung on lines, leaving them with a pinkish tint from the brick dust. Saturday night baths were taken outside in galvanized tubs, heated with kettle water; showers were taken in the rain with a bar of soap. On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me a Mickey Mouse watch that, under no circumstances, was I to take off my wrist. He told me I would be late for school once Mickey's big hand got to the 12 (I was not yet able to tell time). After a playmate asked whether the watch was waterproof, I found myself sticking my arm in the bucket that caught water at the spring that afternoon. Mickey was not waterproof. The school in Brockway was not a one-room schoolhouse, although I thought so for most of my life. There were three rooms manned by three teachers at an earlier time. When I attended, there was only one room in use, overseen by Mrs. Sarah Taylor, fu...

The re-election of Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election marks a pivotal moment in American politics, raising critical questions about the future of democracy, social policy, and international relations. With a strong conservative base and renewed Republican control in Congress, Trump's second term is likely to bring significant shifts to key areas such as reproductive rights, civil liberties, and the role of federal institutions.   This election has underscored deepening divides across American society, with shifting support among white male, white female, and Latino voters signaling evolving priorities and a complex response to Trump's policies. Additionally, his victory has implications that extend beyond U.S. borders, potentially reshaping America's commitments to allies and its positions on conflicts such as Ukraine and Israel-Gaza. In today's episode, we explore both the domestic and international implications of a second Trump presidency with this week's special guests.   Joining us first is Professor Matthew Lebo, a distinguished scholar in political science from the University of Western Ontario, where he co-directs the Centre for Computational and Quantitative Social Science. Professor Lebo's expertise lies in political methodology and American politics, with a focus on national institutions, political behavior, parties, and public opinion. Professor Lebo is the author of Strategic Party Government: Why Winning Trumps Ideology (2017), and his upcoming book, A Practical Guide to Time Series, will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2025. His work has been featured in over 35 top political science journals, including the American Journal of Political Science and the Journal of Politics. Professor Lebo has also held notable roles as department chair both at Western and SUNY-Stony Brook, where he founded the Center for Behavioural Political Economy. Throughout his career, he has held prestigious appointments, including a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard, an Academic Visitor role at Oxford, and Visiting Professor positions at the University of Toronto and, currently, McGill University.   Our second guest this week is Professor Lawrence LeDuc, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto. Professor LeDuc's work has made an influential mark in the fields of Canadian and comparative political behavior, with a special focus on political parties, elections, and research methods. Among his published works are key titles such as Absent Mandate: Strategies and Choices in Canadian Elections (2019), Comparing Democracies: Elections and Voting in a Changing World (2014), and Dynasties and Interludes: Past and Present in Canadian Electoral Politics (2016). His research has also appeared in respected journals, including Electoral Studies, Party Politics, and the American Political Science Review. In recognition of his contributions, Professor LeDuc was awarded the Mildred A. Schwartz Lifetime Achievement Award in Canadian Politics by the American Political Science Association in 2015.    Produced by: Julia Brahy

Editor's Note: Born in South Carolina, Daniel Pruitt attended school in Brockway, Beacon and Glenham before graduating from Beacon High School in 1965 and earning degrees from SUNY Stony Brook and The New School for Social Research in New York City. Retired from IBM, he lives in Dunedin, Florida. Below are excerpts from an article that Pruitt researched and wrote in response to our five-part series on the history of Black people in the Highlands, Always Present, Never Seen, published in 2022. Pruitt felt the series could have included more about local Black history from 1850 to 1930. "I felt a personal need to connect the present, which I knew, with the past, which I did not," he wrote. "This past history was never present and never seen as such over my lifetime." His full report, which he describes as part memoir and part scholarship, is available here as a PDF. My parents were South Carolina emigrants to Beacon, arriving in 1946. I thought the history of the local Black community had come with us from the South. No anecdotal evidence or civics lessons suggested we weren't the first Black inhabitants of Beacon. I wasn't alone in thinking this. Although most of my friends were born in Beacon, they all had families from somewhere else, predominantly the South. Until recently, Mickey Reed thought his sister, Dot, was in the first class of Beacon High School in 1951 that had Black graduates. In truth, the first Black graduate was William Howes Jr. in 1925, but he lived in Baxtertown, according to census records, which was in the Town of Fishkill. Were Mickey's sister and her classmates the first Black graduates who lived in the city proper? I had heard that the kids from Baxtertown walked to the Little Red Schoolhouse for their primary education - not the easiest of treks but not the miles more required to reach Beacon High. Howes had to want that degree, even if it probably was of no use to him, as a Black man, finding a job. So kudos to William Howes, Class of 1925, and Dorothy Reed, Audrey Myrick, Leonard Morgan and Eugene Sims in 1951. When I was growing up, the Black community lived in Brockway, the brickyard community in the Town of Fishkill, or in the west end of Beacon, formerly part of Fishkill Landing (which merged with Matteawan in 1913 to form Beacon). My family lived in both. We followed the Germans, Irish, Jews and Italians into the West End, not necessarily in that order. Nothing came after us except urban renewal. The river baptized, fed and played with us. The dump was always on fire; a southeastern wind brought it to the front door like the mail. There were as many as five beer gardens in the 1950s between Bank Square and Beekman Street. Few white people walked through the West End. City parades bypassed us, starting at the fire station a block east on Main Street. Surprisingly, the Black churches were elsewhere until Springfield Baptist opened in the former Central Hudson gas building on Beekman Street in 1946 under Mattie Cooper, formerly an associate pastor at Beulah Baptist in Brockway. Black people filled the homes and apartments on Beekman, River and Ferry streets and Wolcott Avenue. There were a few white families still living in the West End into the 1950s: the Cimorellis and Cervones on lower Ferry; the Russells, Gromkos and Petterossis on Chandler; and the Carmichaels on Beekman. But they were not there long, and Black families lucky enough to get the few available IBM jobs left, too. However, unlike white flight, Black flight didn't have the East End as a destination. They moved outside the city limits. Bank Square - more like a tuning fork than a square - was the hub of the West End, what we called "up the street." The white-owned businesses weren't going anywhere. Two beer gardens, Bank Square Tavern and Modern Cafe (Vinnie's and Jimmy's) were anchors. There was Ike's, a grocer who begrudgingly gave credit and kept a watchful eye with his charge, known affectionately as Lil White Bobby, on the pe...

Naomi Wolf joins me to discuss the 2024 election season and all the strangeness. She predicts that the election won't take place; that an event of some sort will cause it to be suspended. This will ultimately usher in a communist dictatorship led by the democrats. She claims that in reality the coup has already taken place and she elaborates on why she believes this. It is true that we are dealing with people who are irrational and power hungry. A combination that could ultimately lead to disasters of unimagineable proportions.

In 1986, anthropologist Patricia Wright arrived in the tropical paradise of Madagascar. Seemingly, she was hunting  a ghost: the greater bamboo lemur — then believed to be extinct. Lemurs predate humans by millions of years and have long been prevalent on Madagascar. In contrast, the first human settlers arrived on the Island within the last few thousand years. Despite our relatively short period of coexisting with these animals, human activities have contributed to their decline and — in some instances — apparent extinction. But, remarkably against all odds, the redoubtable Patricia Wright found not only that the lost lemurs were still alive. She also discovered a new species that was entirely new to science.  In this episode, I speak with Dr. Wright who is now a Professor and primatologist at Stony Brook University. At the same institution she founded the Institution for the Conservation of Tropical Environments which operates the Centre Val Bio in Madagascar.  We discuss her life's work, her remarkable discoveries, lemurs, and the magical island of Madagascar.  Guest: Dr. Patricia Wright Patricia C. Wright's research in tropical ecology, primatology, and conservation biology includes a long term study (1986 - present) of the behavioral ecology of Propithecus edwardsi, the Milne Edward's sifaka, in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar. Wright, her students and post docs investigate the demography, feeding behavior, parasite loads, infant development, genetics, tooth wear, reproductive behavior, predation pressure, and aging in this wild community of four adjacent rain forest sifaka groups. Current research includes investigating the growth, tooth eruption patterns, and ontogeny of various lemur species, the nutritional composition of lemur foods, the relationship between lemur foods and medicinal plants, the role of parasites on populations, and the effect of habitat disturbance on lemur populations. Wright′s long term database on individual lemurs, weather patterns, and plant phenology is maintained at SUNY Stony Brook. Wright also conducts biodiversity surveys in tropical forests of Madagascar to address conservation problems. In addition, Wright is spearheading construction of dormitories and computer facilities at the international research station (Centre ValBio) adjacent to Ranomafana National Park. Wright′s recent NSF grant addresses senescence in wild lemurs, particularly mouse lemurs and sifakas.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Changes in College Admissions, published by Zvi on April 24, 2024 on LessWrong. This post brings together various questions about the college application process, as well as practical considerations of where to apply and go. We are seeing some encouraging developments, but mostly the situation remains rather terrible for all concerned. Application Strategy and Difficulty Paul Graham: Colleges that weren't hard to get into when I was in HS are hard to get into now. The population has increased by 43%, but competition for elite colleges seems to have increased more. I think the reason is that there are more smart kids. If so that's fortunate for America. Are college applications getting more competitive over time? Yes and no. The population size is up, but the cohort size is roughly the same. The standard 'effort level' of putting in work and sacrificing one's childhood and gaming the process is dramatically up. So you have to do it to stay in place. There is a shift in what is valued on several fronts. I do not think kids are obviously smarter or dumber. Spray and Pray and Optimal Admissions Strategy This section covers the first two considerations. Admission percentages are down, but additional applications per student, fueled by both lower transaction costs and lower acceptance rates, mostly explains this. This means you have to do more work and more life distortion to stay in place in the Red Queen's Race. Everyone is gaming the system, and paying higher costs to do so. If you match that in relative terms, for a generic value of 'you,' your ultimate success rate, in terms of where you end up, will be unchanged from these factors. The bad news for you is that previously a lot of students really dropped the ball on the admissions process and paid a heavy price. Now 'drop the ball' means something a lot less severe. This is distinct from considerations three and four. It is also distinct from the question of whether the sacrifices are worthwhile. I will return to that question later on, this for now is purely the admission process itself. The size of our age cohorts has not changed. The American population has risen, but so has its age. The number of 17-year-olds is essentially unchanged in the last 40 years. GPT-4 says typical behavior for an applicant was to send in 1-3 applications before 1990, 4-7 in the 1990s-2000s, 7-10 in the late 2000s or later, perhaps more now. Claude said it was 3-5 in the 1990s, 5-7 in the early 200s and 7-10 in the 2010s. In that same time period, in a high-end example, Harvard's acceptance rate has declined from 16% to 3.6%. In a middle-range example, NYU's acceptance rate in 2000 was 29% and it is now 12%. In a lower-end example, SUNY Stony Brook (where my childhood best friend ended up going) has declined from roughly 65% to roughly 44%. The rate of return on applying to additional colleges was always crazy high. It costs on the order of hours of work and about $100 to apply to an additional college. Each college has, from the student's perspective, a high random element in its decision, and that decision includes thousands to tens of thousands in scholarship money. If you apply to a safety school, there is even the risk you get rejected for being 'too good' and thus unlikely to attend. Yes, often there will be very clear correct fits and top choices for you, but if there is even a small chance of needing to fall back or being able to reach, or finding an unexpectedly large scholarship offer you might want, it is worth trying. As colleges intentionally destroy the objectivity of applications (e.g. not requiring the SAT, although that is now being reversed in many places, or relying on hidden things that differ and are hard to anticipate) that further decreases predictability and correlation, so you have to apply to more places, which f...

Have you ever been haunted by an abandoned place? We are joined by multidisciplinary artist Blake Pfeil to talk about his experiences exploring abandoned places, how abandoned places are inherently queer, and why they haunt us the way they do. Mutual aid recommendations for Gaza include buying eSims, urging U.S. representatives to call for ceasefire, and donating directly to calls for aid.    Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of religious trauma, religious persecution, child abuse, imprisonment, Nazis, homophobia, imperialism/colonialism, and Gaza.   Guest Blake Pfeil is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th study session on James B. Stewart's Blind Eye: The Terrifying Story of a Doctor Who Got Away with Murder. Stewart is an awarding journalist, attorney, and celebrated true crime author. He nabbed a Pulitzer Prize for his work on "insider trading" and stock market malfeasance during the 1980's. Stewart also hoisted an Edgar Award for his 1999 book investigating the "smooth, good looking" but deadly Michael Swango. This White serial killer is caged at a Colorado supermax penitentiary and is suspected of having killed approximately 60 people - although no one truly knows how many murders Swango committed. Last week, Swango's US killing operation was just about done. He was terminated from SUNY Stony Brook, and his White wife Kristen Kinney apparently killed herself. Much later on, authorities ran tests on her hair and found high levels of arsenic. Dr. Michael Baden, the same White forensic doctor who testified in the O.J. Simpson trial and examined the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, reported that prolonged, gradual arsenic poisoning produces mental deterioration, impaired thinking, and eventual death. Once Swango felt it impossible to kill as a pretend doctor here in the states, he absconded to Zimbabwe. When asked why he would choose to practice medicine in rural Africa, Swango replied: "I love the blacks." Several black nurses suspected him of being Racist, and some black patients and their families were afraid of reporting their suspicions about Swango. For the second time, James B. Stewart regales listeners with a vivid description of a White Man ramming a needle into the rectum of an African male. #RobertMugabe #WhitesDoNotSnitchOnWhites #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Today, James is joined by Robyn and Jay the Engineer to talk about romantic and business relationships. They share personal stories of moving from friends to being in love and discuss how intimacy works in different kinds of relationships, including those at work and in the community. A key focus of our discussion is the intriguing idea of moving from the 'friend zone' to deeper, more meaningful connections. We delve into the importance of sustained, escalating, reciprocal, and personal self-disclosure in building intimacy. This exploration is anchored by insights from the research paper "The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness," which sheds light on the patterns essential for developing close relationships.  Below is the full list of 36 questions for "closeness-generating", taken from the paper:1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? 2. Would you like to be famous? In what way? 3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why? 4. What would constitute a "perfect" day for you? 5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else? 6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want? 7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die? 8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common. 9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful? 10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be? 11. Take 4 minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible. 12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be? Set II 13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know? 14. Is there something that you've dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it? 15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life? 16. What do you value most in a friendship? 17. What is your most treasured memory? 18. What is your most terrible memory? 19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why? 20. What does friendship mean to you? 21. What roles do love and affection play in your life? 22. Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of 5 items. 23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people's? 24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother? 25. Make 3 true "we" statements each. For instance 'We are both in this room feeling ... " 26. Complete this sentence: "I wish I had someone with whom I could share ... " 27. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for him or her to know. 28. Tell your partner what you like about them; be very honest this time saying things that you might not say to someone you've just met. 29. Share with your partner an embarrassing moment in your life. 30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself? 31. Tell your partner something that you like about them already. 32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about? 33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet? 34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why? 35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why? 36. Share a personal problem and ask your partner's advice on how he or she might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen.-----------What do YOU think of the show?

Each month, our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition with the goal to increase awareness and education of X-linked conditions and how they impact females. This month, we are featuring Kennedy's disease. Kennedy's disease is an X-linked disorder characterized by muscle weakness and wasting that typically manifests in adulthood. It is caused by a mutation in the AR gene, which is responsible for encoding a protein called an androgen receptor. Studies show that some female carriers may experience muscle weakness and neurodegeneration. Today, we are joined by Dr. Christopher Grunseich, M.D. Dr. Chris Grunseich is a Staff Clinician in the Neurogenetics Branch, NINDS. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University, and went on to receive his M.D. from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine in 2006.

In 1981, American journalist David Ost attended an extraordinary meeting in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz. Just decades earlier, it had been a majority German city, in the German empire and had a German name: Bromberg. Two world wars, the Holocaust, mass movement of people and two border realignments had seen it end up behind the proverbial iron curtain in 1945. The meeting was organized by a group named Solidarity which became the first legally sanctioned trade union in the Warsaw pact. It was a remarkable concession by a communist regime whose authority was based on the fact the country was controlled by the workers, to acknowledge there was even a need for such a group. This minor freedom had been hard fought but it was short lived. Within months, Solidarity had been banned and the whole of Poland was subjected to martial law. In this episode I talk to David Ost, Hobart and William Smith professor of politics about Solidarity and Poland's arduous journey from communism to today.

In addition to her private practice, Donna served as admissions and clinical director at the Motherhood Center of New York from 2017-2020, and has held supervisory roles at SUNY Stony Brook, the Jewish Board of Children and Family Services, and Safespace.They started Let's Talk Menopause because they've learned from their individual experiences—and those of just about every other woman they know—that too many women do not get the information, support, and healthcare they need during menopause. Too many women are suffering unnecessarily. Too many women don't know what to ask.Let's Talk Menopause aims to change this through education and advocacy. They want to empower women to seek the relief they need and encourage them to talk openly about their menopause experience.Donna shares information about menopause, the health implications including mental and emotional well-being and treatment options available including hormone replacement therapy and skills based therapy like cognitive behavior therapy. We also briefly discussed the details in this NY Times article that I share from about the cost of menopause for women in the workplace. Check out their podcast "Hello Menopause" and their weekly talks featuring in-depth discussions with a wide range of specialists—from gynecologists and urologists to physical therapists and psychiatrists—to help you understand how menopause impacts your body, emotions and lives and to provide you with options for navigating the changes you may experience.Here's the episode with Lori King talking about her experience and support for surgical menopause.Following my conversation with Donna, I share info about Raising Hope's upcoming celebration of hope honoring women in the community, including myself.

30 years in the college admissions profession can make you an “old head” or a revered, uber-respected scholar-mentor-master. Rodney Morrison is the latter (or maybe both!) As the Vice President for Enrollment Management at the University of Delaware, Rodney sits in a powerful seat of a state flagship school. He's also worked in admissions or recruitment at UPenn, Rutgers, Lehman Brothers, Wharton and SUNY Stony Brook. If anyone knows what it takes to get admitted to college, Rodney does. We sat down and asked him all kinds of questions about testing, essays and the cost of college. Listening to this conversation is worth your time.

In this revisited episode of Balance the Balance Sheet, Peter and Arden O'Connor Sr., parents of Arden O'Connor, Founder, and CEO of O'Connor Professional Group, share their experiences navigating the behavioral health care system with their youngest son, Chris. Arden Sr. and Peter were surprised by the early onset and intensity of Chris' substance use. They join Diana to talk about the professionals they hired and how having financial resources was not the only solution to finding appropriate care for Chris. Arden Sr. reveals the helpful advice she received on their journey and which characteristics of the O'Connor family helped them survive and grow.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [02:10] Peter and Arden Sr. were surprised about their youngest son's addiction problem.  [11:45] Paying for professionals kept their son alive. However, throwing money at a problem won't fix it.   [14:20] Helpful advice that Arden Sr. received as a mom of an addict.   [20:20] How Chris prepared Arden for working with people who suffer from addiction.   [26:30] The characteristics of the O'Connor family that helped them survive and grow.    KEY TAKEAWAYS:   You can't just throw money at a problem and solve it.  It's important to live in a community when finding sobriety, especially in early recovery.  It may be best to give your loved one a wake-up call by removing them from your home. Forgiveness is a difficult step in the recovery process. However, it will be essential when it comes to navigating the disease of addiction.    LINKS MENTIONED:   O'Connor Professional Group   https://oconnorpg.com/   BIO:   Peter and Arden O'Connor Sr., parents of Arden O'Connor, Founder and CEO of O'Connor Professional Group, share their experiences navigating the behavioral health care system with their youngest son, Chris. A graduate of Holy Cross and Harvard Business School and successful real estate entrepreneur, Peter has a family history of alcoholism and is over thirty years sober himself. A dedicated and compassionate stay at home mom, Arden Sr. graduated from SUNY Stony Brook and worked as a probation officer, where she witnessed clients with an array of behavioral health issues.    Despite their personal and professional knowledge base, Arden Sr. and Peter were taken aback by the early onset and intensity of Chris' substance abuse. Over the course of fifteen years, Chris cycled through 15 different rehabilitation programs, was prescribed over 25 medications, and worked with approximately 30 different clinical professionals. After spending countless hours doing their own research, hiring family lawyers, and investing over half a million dollars in Chris' care, Arden Sr. and Peter were confused, exhausted and frustrated. Like many families, they couldn't believe the level of turmoil and tragedy that Chris' addiction caused in their otherwise harmonious, talented and blessed family.

Before I bring in Dr. Sal, I want to share a little bit about who he is. And why you should listen. So Dr. Sal, he lives in Florida, but he is a new Yorker at heart and he has a long resume, but I'm just going to touch on a few things. He completed medical training at the New York college of osteopathic medicine from 1985 to 1989 and an internal medicine residency program at SUNY Stony Brook. And from 1993 to 2010, he practiced general internal medicine, seeing over 100 patients every week doing chronic disease management. Over that time, Dr. Sal witnessed firsthand how traditional healthcare in many cases did not result in improved clinical outcomes. This caused him to investigate preventative and lifestyle medicine. After 18 years of practicing general internal medicine, Dr. Sal began focusing on preventative healthcare. He became board certified from the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, and also through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Over the last 15 years, he worked with other physicians and healthcare providers that wanted to come alongside him and become certified in lifestyle medicine. So help me welcome to the show Dr. Sal.

Meet today's guest: Dr. Sal Lacagnina is a graduate of NYCOM, The New York College of Osteopathic Medicine.

On this episode of The Pursuit of Health Podcast we dive further into the realm of public health by pausing to learn about the invaluable role of the Physician Assistant.  We are fortunate to have a frontline clinician, educator and pioneer, Joseph M. Daleo, as our guest to take us through this topic. Major Daleo is an active member of the US Army Reserve and holds a Doctorate Degree of Physician Assistant Studies from Touro University. He wears many honorable hats including an Assistant Professorship and the Directorship of Clinical Operations at NY Touro College's Physician Assistant Program.  He is a Clinical Instructor for SUNY Stony Brook's Family Medicine and Nurse Practitioner Program as well as the Supervising Physician Assistant for the American Family Care's Covid-19 Mitigation and Vaccination Program.  Major Daleo begins our discussion by taking us through his often bumpy personal journey to pursue a health career as a practicing Physician Assistant and educator. In so doing, he emphasizes that Physician Assistants are a vital and unique profession within the US healthcare system. He explains the honorable history of the Physician Assistant profession in the US and marvels at the exponential growth of this field both domestically and globally over the past few decades. Our guest sheds some very important light on the misconceptions about the Physician Assistant model, stressing that this model supports a complementary, not adversarial, interaction of healthcare professionals on behalf of the patient. He provides us with a sobering reminder of the serious gaps and failures of our current system and provides much needed recommendations to make healthcare partnerships stronger to address the disparities of acute and chronic disease.  He sees physician assistants as one of the critical  “force multipliers” of a potentially robust approach to healthcare reform.  We finish our fascinating discussion with Major Daleo wisely advising us all to continue to adopt the pioneer spirit that made our health system exceptional in the first place.  He urges us to remain open-minded so that we may learn and apply new preventative and treatment modalities to the benefit of our patients, clinicians and society.  Dr. Fethke and the team at The Pursuit of Health Podcast  look forward to our audience's feedback.

L is for the way you listen to meO is for the only pod you needV is very, very honest commentaryE is even more episodes that'll never boreI'm aware that was mad cheesy, but I started and I couldn't stop until it was finished. For better or more likely for worse. But what can I say? L-o-v-e is in the air.This week on Thinking Is Cool, thanks to everyone's favorite Hallmark holiday, is a week to think about love in all of its richness and its many forms.But because I can't help myself…we're going to do it with a twist. Today, we're not just talking about love. We're learning about how it comes to exist. There are scientifically proven ways to create an environment for love, and it involves doing more than just recreating the final scene from the Parent Trap.So hit play and settle in for a fun little jaunt through what makes love so unimaginably wonderful. You'll hear from Dr. Arthur Aron, a research professor at SUNY Stony Brook who studies love and piloted a method for creating immediate intimacy and connection between strangers. You'll also hear from some Thinking Is Cool listeners about their own diverse perspectives on love. And you'll hear from me! Notorious lover of love and huge sap.I hope you hit play, let the love wash over you, and enjoy. Sending you a big old hug or high five wherever you are. And if you're so inclined: Flowers say I'm sorry, chocolate says I love you, and sharing Thinking Is Cool says “I'm an intellectual.” I'd love it if you sent the show to someone special in your life :)Final note: Thank you to our friends at Massican for making this episode possible. I'll be uncorking a bottle of Annia tonight to honor all the love in my life. Buy a bottle for yourself here or hit up Whole Foods or your local fine wine shop. You're gonna love it.
