15 Kislew 5769: Poinsettia Day

Greetings.

Worthy causes of the day: “Petition to protect women of the Democratic Republic of Congo” and “Pledge to Pass on a Healthy Body Image”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Cranial Computing: Practical Brain-to-Cyber Interfaces Closer to Reality”
  
• “E-prescribing leads to more, cheaper generic Rx fills”
  
• “Cash Rewards Help Dieters”
  
• “Obesity's Tie to Childhood Earaches”
  

Today’s weird thing is “Inventor builds She-3PO robot”. This is not only weird but rather creepy in a bad science-fiction sort of way. Enjoy (or be freaked out), share the weirdness, and Shabbath shalom.
