Enoch Choi, MD's Blog. Fall is here, school is back in session, and once again it’s time to gear up for flu season. This year will have special challenges, as we are preparing for both seasonal flu and H1N1 (swine) flu. [ [ [ [ MedHelp Note -- Dr. Choi is hosting a live HealthChat on Tuesday, October 20 at Noon EST!

Virtually all the flu around now is the pandemic H1N1 virus. The H1N1 virus also predominated in the recent winter months of the Southern Hemisphere, which typically spreads north as we have our winter.

You may have H1N1 if you have fever (temperature > 100 degrees) AND either cough or sore throat. Pandemic H1N1 flu affects the young with 5% occurring in persons older than age 50. James evokes.

039;s Alerts: The State of the Live Web, April 2007. The State of the Live Web, April 2007 Hey, it's that time again, time to slow down, take a deep breath, and dig into the data! About this Report, and the Obligatory Plug for Technorati Technorati is known widely for its quarterly State of the Blogosphere reports, analyzing the trends around blogs and blogging. With this report, we expand on this tradition by introducing information and analysis relating to the broader range of social media on the Web -- what we and many others call the Live Web (another good definition).

Technorati continues to grow well beyond its roots at the leading blog search engine; increasingly, we are the main aggregation point for all forms of social media on the Web, including blogs, of course, but also video, photos, audio such as podcasts and much more. What makes this possible is the rise in the use of tags across all forms of social media and the increasing implementation of tags by the publishing platforms supporting each form of media.

Sorry about that.] I’m in Anaheim, CA for a great conference celebrating the 80 th birthday of the physicist Yakir Aharonov . In the meantime, though, since my flight here was delayed 4 hours, I decided to (1) pass the time, (2) distract myself from the inanities blaring on CNN at the airport gate, (3) honor Yakir’s half-century of work on the foundations of quantum mechanics, and (4) honor the commenters who wanted me to stop ranting and get back to quantum stuff, by sharing some thoughts about a topic that, unlike gun control or the Olympics, is uncontroversial: the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics.
