THE DECISION TREE stems from Goetz's unique experience as an editor at WIRED and as a student working on a Masters in Public Health. Goetz was struck by the unfortunate disconnect between the public health world and the tech world. Wasn't there was a way to combine the promise of technology with the rigor of public health in order to engage people more predictably, strategically, and effectively with their own health, he wondered? In the book, Goetz looks at the tools and technology available to us now from DNA analysis that can predict future health issues, to social networks that can keep us abreast of the latest treatments. Goetz balances the science and ideas in the book with stories of real people who are utilizing these tools allowing us to see the opportunities and possibilities in action. The Decision tree is an organizational system that maps out our options, factors in all relevant info (family history, our habits, conditions, etc), and guides us toward the best possible health care choices. A Decision Tree has the power to turn the chaos of medical science into a system that makes sense by prioritizing facts and evidence over instinct and tradition. It puts the patient in the central role as decision maker not the doctor, insurance company, or hospital administrators.

We recently made the announcement that NC State will deploy Google Apps Education Edition as its official university e-mail service for students. Were hoping that starts in the spring timeframe. The university also made the decision to use Googles Message Security and Discovery service (Postini) as the campus solution for e-mail anti-spam and antivirus protection. We'll also be using Postini as our e-mail archiving and message retention system for all faculty and staff e-mail at about the same time our student beta goes live with Gmail, so we're excited about that. There are a couple of things that happened at the end of last year that you should be aware of. According to our strategic operating plan, transparency is one of the big five issues that we're trying to work on, and at the end of the year, we posted two very good documents you ...
