Longread #396 -- The End of Illth -- 10/28/13
A lot of the articles I've posted on this blog are about the transgressions caused by corporate greed or by the perverse incentives established by certain elements of our economic system. This article looks at some alternative ways of organizing production and labor to try to resolve the externalities of the free market system. While not a cure-all, it nevertheless seems like a great place to start.

Longread #392 -- Cancer in Africa -- 10/18/13
WE'RE BACK!
The shutdown was fully of idiocy and partisanship and all sorts of other uselessness, but thankfully, we're back. Today's longread looks at the challenges of cancer in Africa and does so specifically through the lens of initiatives in Uganda. I highlight this article in large part because it shows some of the amazing efforts of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Hutch is my employer and had our back throughout the furlough mess. Not only is the Hutch pushing forward in remarkable ways on reducing the burdens of cancer, they are also an organization that takes care of its employees.

Furloughed
My policy has always been to put up a blog post on any business day. Thanks to the government shutdown, both I and the blog are furloughed. I'll be back with new content once the US Congress gets it act together.
