For what’s likely to be my last summary of the 1811 tweets from the San Diego Pain Summit 2017 using various metrics of tweet importance, I created a ranked word-pair vocabulary from the body of tweets, where each word-pair had to occur within single tweets. With this pair-vocabulary in place, I then summed up the word-pair […]
This post is a follow-up to yesterday’s “Things” from the Pain Summit (Literally); another means of extracting information from the 1811 tweets from the San Diego Pain Summit 2017. This time I took the 100 top words from the Pain Summit tweets, excluding the first word, which was pain. Other than as a consistency check, […]
A couple of weeks ago, I spent two days at the San Diego Pain Summit, to listen, tweet, and archive tweets from the conference and adjoining workshops. The purpose of the 2017 summit, as was the case for the prior two years, is to bridge pain research and manual therapy. I could say that it […]
We live in a strange age; an age in which science and technology are providing us new knowledge and capabilities in many areas of endeavor but also an age in which a significant number of people are rejecting scientific thinking in favor of belief-based narratives. While the scientific process stems from observations leading to conceptual […]
When it comes to the electromagnetic spectrum, I tend to view things from the perspective of an atmospheric or astro- physicist. Normally, to me, the term far infrared means that part of the infrared spectrum at wavelengths longer than 25µm (one µm being one-millionth of a meter). This page at Cal Tech gives the astrophysical use […]
It’s far from an easy task to reshape something that is not exactly a health care profession toward being one. The task becomes even more challenging when the tool of choice is voluntary education. This, however, appears to be the challenge taken on by the Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF). As the MTF expresses it, “It […]
One of the economic shortcomings that’s more or less obvious in “just letting the market handle it” is that the market often doesn’t include total costs of use. The situation is akin to letting someone buy supplies for a large party, holding the party on common land, and then simply walking off, leaving the trash […]
I recently had a massage teaching colleague ping me about: 1) Why we need mitochondria? and 2) How many molecules of ATP are used per second in typical muscle contractions? Both questions are a matter of energy, thus piquing my underlying physicist nature. Glucose to ATP The first question really was really along the lines […]

For help with the learning curve on creating a WordPress theme from scratch, I can point to a tutorial at wpdesigner with thanks. The tutorial was organized the way I […]
Back toward the end of last year, I’d posted a short piece about the book Three Cups of Tea, profiling Greg Mortenson’s work building schools in remote parts of Pakistan. NY Times Op-Ed Columnist Nicholas Kristof just wrote a column about Mortenson — It Takes a School, Not Missles. Kristof also extends the discussion and a […]
