I'm telling you if they don't stop doing medical research we're not going to have anything left to do that can't somehow kill you or at least bring you serious harm:

"For decades, doctors described cases of a rare neurological condition that usually occurred in patients over age 50. Neurologists noted that patients knew their identities, but couldn't retain recent memory, where they were and how they got there. They showed no other symptoms.

Sex is one of the major triggers for the baffling medical condition called transient global amnesia in which patients lose their ability to retain immediate memory."

Keith Barber pens an article that looks at the intersection of faith and politics in Winston-Salem.

In this Reed Construction Data survey of 25 cities Winston-Salem had the lowest construction costs per square foot in four categories (hospitals 2-3 stories, hospitals 4-8 stories, nursing homes, apartments 8-24 stories). Honestly I'm trying to figure out where the apartment buildings over 8 stories are in the city.

For three years Fred Wilson has done a great job of raising money through the Donor's Choose Bloggers challenge. In this post he shared data on how much money was raised each year and from how many people. What I find interesting is that the amount of money is relatively flat from year to year ($18,538 in 2007, $17,029 in 2008, and $18,824 this year), but the number of donors increased dramatically this year (92 in 2007, 80 in 2008, and 205 this year). While it would be great to see the amount-per-donor at the same level as 2007 with the higher number of donors in 2009 I think that's unrealistic in this economy. In the long run I think that having the higher number of donors will be a positive because when next year rolls around there will probably be more donors coming back and if times are better then the dollars-per-donor average will go up and it's a long-term win for Donor's Choose. I'm wondering if the same trend is happening with other non-profits?

I'm in general agreement with Fred Wilson:

"It is not a positive to be an incumbent right now. And that's a good thing because the track record of our government sucks. I hope the anti incumbent mood continues to be honest. We could use a good house cleaning throughout our government."

From the report:
"In September 2009, the delinquent unpaid balance for CMBS increased to $31.73 billion from $28.16 billion a month prior. Such delinquent unpaid balance is up an astounding 583% from one-year ago (when only $4.64 billion of delinquent balance was reported for September 2008), and is now over 14 times the low point of $2.21 billion in March 2007. An increase in four of five delinquent loan categories was noted in September, with a slight decline experienced in the REO bucket (reflected in the increased liquidations for September). Despite such decline, the distressed 90+-day, Foreclosure and REO categories grew in aggregate for the 22nd straight month – up by $1.48 billion (8%) from the previous month and over $16.65 billion (547%) in the past year (up from only $3.044 billion in September 2008)."
