march madness

And this is the point in the year where everything else (including dissertation and course work) take a back seat to the the tourney. The adrenaline starts picking up at the end of February and then goes off the radar from the time until the bracket is announced on Sunday until the championship game is played. I seriously wonder what happens to tourney fans' brains when they see a bracket. I'm sure someone had done a few MRIs to test this out.

I think I might pick the Tar Heels to win the whole thing. They have crazy depth, but haven't been as dominant as I would expect. Maybe the heat of the tourney is what they need to pull it all together.

health care for all?

Well, this is interesting. Seems like Americans have finally reached the point where concerns over health care have overtaken interest in lowering taxes. I wonder if this will translate into mobilization behind legislation. What will this mean for the upcoming Presidential election? I have a feeling that this is going to be the big issue of the next election...

Meanwhile, still researching for dissertation related materials. Trying to develop a conceptual framework looking at nursing and health information technology. Anyone out there have any thoughts on the matter?
