Important Announcement: The 5th World Conference on Women Is Getting Closer to Reality

By Linda | March 12, 2012

Last week was a news roller coaster for women worldwide. Come ride with me.
Reported at the International Trade Union Conference, women are paid 18% less than men worldwide for the same work.  Taken from the report:  “…..in the United States the statistics are bleak: Male workers age 30 or younger who have a middle level [...]

Down on the Ground with US Airways–How to (Practically) Ruin a Great Time in Costa Rica, Part 2.

By Linda | January 26, 2012

As seasoned travellers, we always leave at least one extra day to get home.  So we reluctantly left beautiful Costa Rica on Saturday, dutifully getting to the airport 3 hours before the scheduled departure.  We dutifully checked that the plane was on time before leaving our hotel.  We dutifully gave them our contact information. 
So when [...]

Peer Review Fraud–Hospitals and Their War on Physicians

By Linda | January 5, 2012

Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unexpected people. I have to admit that being open to receiving such a gift, even from someone I would rather avoid, is not a practice I am particularly good at. But this week I let down my guard and listened intently to someone I could never imagine [...]

Taking Stock and Moving Forward

By Linda | December 15, 2011

It’s that time of year again. Celebrations, gift giving (and receiving), end of year charitable contributions, and general “taking stock” and moving forward. We go readily from the bright lights and merriment to the self-satisfying feelings of gratitude and sharing our wealth with others less fortunate. That’s the easy part.
Aside from the [...]

Where Were You When……..?

By Linda | November 29, 2011

Kennedy was shot?  Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? Nixon resigned? You first heard the Beatles? The second tower was hit on 9/11?  A little boy was violated by a sick football coach?
Whoa!  Where did that come from?  Do I really believe that pivotal moments in history can be equated to one small but [...]

Conspiracies of Silence—“Sportsman-Like” Behavior Gone Not Only at Penn State

By Linda | November 14, 2011

Penn State is in a sorry state of affairs.  Its wildly popular coaching staff has kept devastatingly dark secrets which will collapse the almost greatest college football fiefdom of the century. NCAA football was outed for the taking of money under the table, reported in the October cover story in The Atlantic.  Only this time the crime is more [...]

When Doctors and Lawyers Feel the Same Pain–Hitting Their Heads on the Glass Ceiling

By Linda | October 10, 2011

Yesterday’s NY Times published an interesting article about the status of women in the legal profession in the US.  Arguably, we really don’t need more lawyers, however, I must rail at the status of my sister professionals.  Having disrupted dreams when doors are shut in our faces when inherent bias exists due to enormous structural [...]

Bullying: An Epidemic or Just More of the Same Old?

By Linda | October 3, 2011

Tragically a Buffalo teen took his life last week. At least at first blush, bullying appeared to be at the heart of the matter, a matter that has no heart.
Thinking back on my childhood, I was definitely bullied. “Fatso and four-eyes,” rang in my ears on a daily basis—on the playground, in school, [...]

Re-Posted Due to Popularity: Mail-Phobia

By Linda | July 26, 2011

This post first appeared on The Brodsky Blog on December 9, 2008. While I think I am cured of this phobia due to circumstances that are now in my control, I received comments from so many fellow sufferers, that I thought a re-post (during a brief writing holiday), would be worthwhile, if not for you, [...]
