...thing that surprised me about this was the level and energy and passion for this mission that I have seen among so many people involved, right after I was told I was going to be sent here. I started getting e-mails and phone calls from people I knew who wanted to come. And these were people who had been here before. Many away from their families for a long time. One of my aides, who had only six months before come back from a tough assignment in Samarra, Iraq - he volunteered to go. And the energy that I found...
...think you have the tools to provide all this? We can always use more tools. The first and foremost is, if they offered me a choice between two more divisions or 1,000 people who spoke Pashto and Dari and had a passion for this place, I would absolutely take the 1,000.

Hamdan realizes the pavilion's title - It's Not You, It's Me - may come across as brash, but "It's about us, the U.A.E., and it's unapologetic," she says. "Like it or love it, this is who we are." Many cities that began life as mercantile enclaves - Singapore...
...stand to lose the most from evidence-based medicine, joined by a variety of patient groups (some of whom also receive industry funding) concerned about access to care. Coelho says he welcomes effectiveness research if it can help doctors and patients make more informed decisions, but he argues with passion that it should never be used to limit treatments, modify reimbursements or otherwise cut costs. "If you come at this trying to save the almighty dollar because you think we're spending too much money on drugs and devices and Sally and Joe, the American people will revolt," Coelho says...
